SU has been ranked four times in the 10 regional colleges since 1985 in .

"U.S. News & World Report" ranked ASU in the regional colleges category. According to Morse: "These institutions generally award more than half their bachelor's degrees in two or more occu­ pational orprofessional disciplines. Many also offer graduated degrees. The 561 schools have been divided by region — North, South, Midwest and West." "Based on these divisions, the 1,374 four-year schools included in the study were ranked within categories by com­ bining statistical data gathered from the colleges themselves with the results of the U.S. News reputational survey," Morse added. The survey is designed to measure not only academic quality of a college or university, but also to measure its academic reputation. The statistical data, provided largely by the schools themselves, included the se­ lectivity of the student body; the degree to which the school financially support a high-quality, full time faculty; overall fi­ nancial resources, and the level of student satisfaction as measured by the school's ability to graduate the student it admits as freshmen. These are criteria which deter­ mine place, according to Morse. Dr. Gregory Blimling, vice chancellor for student development stated, "1 think it's wonderful. I'm surprised ASU wasn't ranked higher." Wake Forest University was ranked first among 15 southern regional colleges and universities.Other schools in the South ranked in the magazine's special report are The Citadel (eighth), James Madison University (11th), and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (14th). Other colleges and universities in the Southeast fared well in their respective categories. In the "national university" grouping, Duke University ranked high­ est among Southeast schools, finishing in seventhplace. Johns Hopkins University ranked 15th, while the University of Vir­ ginia placed18th in the poll. UNC Chapel Hill was the final representative from the Southeast, ranking 20th. Harvard University took top honors in the national category. Liberal arts colleges in the Carolinas and in Virginia also fared well in their own category. Davidson College closed out the top 10 of the magazine's top liberal arts colleges. Washington and Lee University located in Lexington, Va. also made the top honors list placing in the 15th position. Four South Carolina liberal arts col­ leges placed high in the list of regional schools. Spartanburg's WoffordCollege gained the top spot in the South region followed by Converse College. Presby­ terian College came in sixth place while Erskine came in 10th. Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory was the only North Carolina school to make the regional list, placing ninth. / Southern Regional ) lis Its * College & University I IJ A. t ^ Report Card ••wwx jw - HJ-YI Wake forest University (NC) University of Richmond (/A) J Berea College Off) ' (f Stetson University (Tl) "/"L^rn Sanrford University (AO University of Alabama in UuntsviHe The Citadel (SC) Mercer University (CfA) Appalachian State University 100.0 96.5 95.5 90.6 39.5 3T.3 36.2. 36.1 34-.1 317' source, U.S.News 4 WorU Report.

No fire was found and no damage was fticed, according to Boone Fire Departt tit Chief Reginald Hassler. The official d say that he and other fire squad nbers who answered the alarm noticed rsmell of wax" that was described by / tssler as candle wax. oughly destroyed while the room across from it suffered from heavy damage. Boone fire officials said the fire in East was caused by a short in an electrical cord used in an item similar to an electric blanket. Cone Hall Resident Assistant John Worley said that though the fires in East and Eggers were beyond the control of students, there are many precautions that students could take to alleviate any problems. Some residents of the hall claimed at I'-tme of the incident that they had heard a stove that caught on fire, but Hassler id that those rumors were false. "We make safety inspections every so often, such as when students go home for breaks. But sometimes we have inspec­ tions that are announced in advance so we can check for items such as illegal ex­ tension cords, small appliances and so on," Worley commented. ptere were no major fires reported in fdence halls last year, but two years o, fires severely damaged Eggers and ^st halls. The R.A. said students are given thor­ ough instructions in both hall meetings and in campus literature as to what can be used in the rooms. fire on the seventh floor of Eggers on Dec. 14,1988, which caused over 000 damage, was found by town fire rials to be caused by a short in a clock io s electrical cord. of the wings of East Hall was damaged on Feb. 12, 1989, smg between $47,000 and $53,000 in la8es to the hall.

I WAS IN LINE FOR DYLAN TICKETS: Over one hundred students waited both inside and outside the student union yesterday morning as tickets for Bob Dylan's scheduled appearance at Varsity Gym on Oct. 30 went on sale. Box office workers said that as of 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon over 1,000 tickets had been sold. A.P.P.S., the ASU entertain­ ment board promoting the show, said each student can buy only one student ticket and three guest tickets with every I.D. shown. money away from academics, says a new book by an Indiana University professor. In "Sports Inc., The Athletic Department vs. the University," author MurraySperber issues a long litany of charges against college sports. Among them are: • The big revenue-producing sportsfootball and men's basketball-do not earn enough to support the other athletic pro­ grams. • Most athletic programs operate in the red and steal money from classroom and other student activities. • It's almost impossible for athletes, sometimes practicing and playing 40hours a week, to find time to be students. • The powerful National Collegiate Athletic Association, in name a group that represents its member schools, in practice protects andserves the coaches and athletic directors who serve on its committees. Sperber's book, which generally has received favorable critical notice while drawing angry reaction from campus sports officials, documents how athletic depart­ ment employees often are among the highest paid people on a campus. They arealso overpaid, Sperber claimed, in relation to the amount of revenue they produce. The average income for at least 150 NCAA Division I men's basketball coaches and 100 Division I-A football coaches tops $100,000. At the same time, Sperber wrote, only 10-to-20 athletic programs make a profit, and another 20 to 30 break even. But schools, either unwilling or unable to recognize that their sports programs lose money for them, regularly spend millions to expand their stadiums' seating capacities and build lavish training fa­ cilities, all in hopes of generating still more revenue, Sperber wrote. Filling those seats requires a winning team, which also costs money and inspires colleges to admit people who otherwise might never qualify. Same Service As For Cellists Athletes recruited to play at NCAA Division I A schools in 1988 were four times more likely to be admitted as "ex­ ceptions" to normal campus admissions standards than other students, a NCAA study released Sept. 26 found. "Money that could go to betteT qualified students ends up going to jocks." Sperber said. Such statements, needless to say, have infuriated campus sports officials. "There isn't much on a college campus that operates in the black, and I don't think it should," stated Donna Lopiano, assistant athletic director of University of TexasAustin. A sports program is successful, she says, "as long as it's serving the studentathlete in the same way the university serves the cellist, the dance major, the drama major or anyone else with a special talent." Brad Rothcnnel, who in August finished a 10 year stint as athletic director at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas added, "the mission of intercollegiate athletics is to educate students who happen to be student-athletes."

The award, which is given by the Watchdogs of the Treasury, is awarded to politicians who consistently vote against federal spending. "Cass Ballenger votes against new taxes. He is very business oriented," Newton explained. Newton pointed out that the 10th dis­ trict has more factory workers than any other district in the nation. He said Ballenger "protects those industries, whether it is the furniture or the textile industry." He further stated, "Ballenger has proposed items to help the textile and furniture industries." From the Republican congressman's point of view, the campaign issues range from environmental protection to cutting the government's spending. Newton commented, "The congressman's attitude toward the environment is one of reason­ able. responsible growth." Ballenger "He (Ballenger) has voted for over 20 bills to protect the environment. He doesn't want to hurt the economy." - Elden Newton Ballenger Aide Green "We need a congressman to help the average work­ ing people. / think that he (Ballenger) represents a certain class." -Dan Green Democratic Candidate The coordinator pointedout Ballenger' s sponsorship of the "Western N.C. Wilder­ ness Protection Act" which designates 13,000 acres of land as pristine wilderness areas, which allows that land to be used only hunting, fishing and basic recreational activities. The area, which includes the Lost Cove and Harper Creek areas of the Pisgah National Forest, was recently de­ clared an official wilderness area. Ballenger described the wilderness area: "Within the area, there is an abundance of trout and such wildlife as bear, turkey, and deer....this legislation would ensure these areas are preserved for all time." However, according to Newton, Ballenger is also attacked by environ­ mentalists for not going far enough. He defends Ballenger: "He (Ballenger) has voted for over 20 bills to protect the en­ vironment. He doesn't want to hurt the economy." Newton commented, 'There are times to piotect the environment and times to make concessions to business." Newton noted that one of the times when Ballengerprotected the environment was during the CSI Incinerator Incident in Caldwell County. "Ballenger was instru­ mental in the closing and investigation of the incinerator," Newton said. Ballenger's coordinator closed by ex­ plaining his reason for admiring the con­ gressman, "He makes less money working as a Congressman than he did at his own business. He wants to serve in Congress as long as he has support. He (Ballenger) is doing this because he thinks that he can do a good job." Ballenger's opponent. Hickory lawyer Dsn Green, said he disagrees that the incumbent is an environmentalist. "He (Ballenger) tries to make himself out to be See DISTRICT page 3 �-The Annalarhm^^uesdnv Ormhfr 7ri joop Q) Communications Career Day: The fifth annual Communica­ tions Career Day will be held on Thursday, Oct. 18 at Our House in the Student Union, from 11 a.m. until 2 pun.

"There's no doubt a lot of these kids aren't getting anything that you and I would call 'higher' education," claimed Clifford Adelman of the U.S. Department of Education in releasing a September study of what happens to college athletes later in life. "I do think there's educational exploi­ tation, and a lot of broken promises," he added. Good Dorms, Good Food "Where it really affects students is in debt serv icing," a former semi-professional And instead of encouraging school spirit, Sperber said college sports foster little more than cynicism from students who see inequalities between studentsand athletes. "It's the jock dorms. You're paying lots of money for this horrible place, and their dorms are really palatial.

BSA meetings and events are open to visitors and anyone interested in affiliating with theorganization," said BSA President Tammy Tolbert. "Every African-American on campus is con­ sidered a member." There are presently 50 paid members, but membership has continued to in­ crease. The main goal of BSA is to spread knowledge of the positive aspects of African-American cul­ ture, said Tolbert. The BSA also participates in other organizations such asSG A, A.P.P.S.,College Democrats and voting-drives. BSA sponsors a number of events including Black History Month, Black Awareness Weekend with the Miss Black Culture Pageant and Coronation Ball, the up-coming Black Heritage Week and the BSA Gospel Choir. Black Awareness Weekend is designed to'help incoming freshmen get an over-all feel for campus life at Appalachian, both academically and socially.

BRODIE According to Dale Kirkley, the substance abuse education coordinator in the Wellness Center, al­ cohol consumption is part of the extra-curricular activities for 70 percent of college students. This percentage is why an event like National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week is so important. This national event will takeplace from Oct. 1420 and is a time for students to become aware of the dangers of alcohol abuse. According to the public service announcements for NCAAW, colleges and universities all over the country are joining together to "encourage good decision-making about alco­ hol and to combat misuse through education." The organizers of National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week on the ASU campus are Kirkley, Karen Dodd-an intern with the psychology de­ partment and coordinator of the local awareness weekend and Tim Hardison—a graduate assistant working with the Wellness Center. The Wellness Center provides drug awareness services and counseling through theS tudent Assis­ tance Service and the ADAPT program throughout the year. But during NCAAW, they try to heighten students' awareness andencourage students to think about the alcohol issue on a personal basis. The campaign's motto is "think before you drink," and Dodd hopes students will take this to heart, especially since NCAAW happens to coin­ cide with ASU's Homecoming Week-a time no­ torious for heavy drinking. Dodd hopes the information the students receive on alcohol abuse will help reduce the alcoholrelated accidents more likely to occur during Homecoming. Dodd realizes it is unrealistic to tell students to abstain, but encourages students to be "safe drinkers." That is to know dteir limit and circumstances under which to drink. "We're just trying to promote safety with alcohol, not absti­ nence, more safety and responsibility." Events for the week begin on Wednesday, Oct. 17, and include a movie night, during which "mocktails" and popcorn will be served, and a Awareness Fair in the Mini Mall. Contributors to By KATK1NA WITTKAMP Appalachian Staff Writer The Outdoor Programs at Appalachian offers a variety of outdoor activities as well as equipment rpntals and eroup interaction courses. Outdoor programs is a division of Student De­ velopment and funded by the activity fee paid by students; therefore,it is only open to ASU students, faculty, and staff. The rental rates and cost of activities are low because the activity fee has already been paid. K The rental programs, as well as a majority of the trips, are led by students. The staff consists of about 40 students who mostly come in as fresh­ men. Anyone thinking of working for Outdoor Programs is advised to come by and ask about it. Rentals and activities are run on a first-come, first-serve basis. To register for an activity, go to 715 Rivers Street (across from the baseball field) Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The trips fill up quickly; so sign up early.

"We do it all," Program Coordinator Bain Gill said. These pro­ grams offer opportunities to get out and enjoy the surroundings. Lunch, food, transportation, in­ struction and equipment are included in the cosL The majority of the workshops is geared toward beginners, and safety is a first priority. Other activities coming in October are a free kayak roll clinic that will meet at the Appalachian pool. There is also a mountain biking trip on the roads of the Blue Ridge Parkway, a canoeing trip, a climbing workshop, a climbing trip and a day hike that will offer everyone a chance to see the fall colors. Horseback riding is also planned for Oct. 20. This activity will teach some basic care and control of a horse, and end in a trail ride. For those interested in venturing out on their own, Outdoor Programs also offers an extensive rental program with high quality equipment such as mountain bikes, canoes, tents and sleeping bags. rse, now things are a little bit better. °f 'bese major adjustments came on last year while I was a freshman, as a sophomore, but there are still a few fining bits a culture shock.

Kirkley feels that National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week will be instrumental in giving students the information they need to make re­ sponsible choices. "Students can make good, healthy low-risk decisions for themselves if they are better informed about alcohol issues. It is difficult to make good decisions without knowing consequences and risk factors," Kirkley said. Some upcoming trips include six caving trips ranging from beginning to intermediatelevels. The trips will consist of some large caves, small caves with tight passageways, rock formations and an underground stream. "You get to get muddy," Gill said. |f cou Or's , the fair include the Inter-Fraternity Council, Panhellenic League, SGA and the Boone Police Department. The Boone Police will conduct breathalizer demonstrations and provide informa­ tion on alcohol and the law. The organizers of the event also are working in conjuction with local businesses to sponsor free non-alcohol beverages with coupons on each night of the awareness week. These coupons are espe­ cially beneficials to minors, designated driv ers and non-drinkers. Outdoor programs offered to all hen there were the noises.

Upcoming events include: caving expeditions, biking trips, canoeing and horseback riding. Costs for the workshops range, but are kept to a minimum. Outdoor Programs offers a great way to enjoy the environment here in Boone."We live in one of the most fascinating places in the world.I think the students here should be arrested if they don't get out and enjoy these surroundings," Gill said. "We offer an alternative for going home on the week­ ends and a great way to get involved in the outdoors. I hear from many seniors that say they wish they had done more outdoor activities."

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor A frustrated ASU football squad suf•ed their first conference loss of the >n, 30-7, Saturday at the hands of the lanPaladins at Kidd BrewerS tadium. Following the game, ASU quarterback J. Campbell, who completed just nine 25 passes for 132 yards and was sacked •ice, said, "I felt really good going into is game; right now I am frustrated, lowever, I'm)not going to let this get me iwn." Campbell blamed the Mountaineer ofnse for the loss, saying, "The defense ayed well enough to win. We (the ofnsive unit) didn't help the defense out cause we didn' t move the ball. That will ange." ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore also i und the defeat frustrating. "We shot I trselves in the foot enough early that I ought we would overcome." The ountaineers fumbled four times in their st three possessions, losing one of the miscues. Two of the botched plays in­ volved the handoff on draw plays and one involved the snap exchange; all four in­ volved Campbell. We had alot of let downs that hurt us," Campbell said."But you have to overcome those things and we didn't. We had a lot of plays thatjustdidn'thave a chance because of the fumbles. In all, the Mountaineers fumbled six times during the course of the day. The App squad finished the day with 274 yards of total offense while the Pala­ dins netted 407 yards, including 273 on the ground. The Furman squad, who moved to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in the Southern Confer­ ence, had two men near the century mark in rushing as Carl Tremble accumulated 97 yards and Billy stockdale amassed 99 yards on theground. Appalachian's leading rusher, J.K. Reaves, compiled just56yards. The Mountaineer defense proved its strength on the game's opening drive as the Paladins moved the ball into a first- and-goal situation from the six. On second down, comer backMark Mayo broke up a pass in the end zone. Paladin quarterback Frankie DeBusk then threw another in­ complete toss which forced a20-yard field goal attempt. ASU's Steve Wilks rushed in and smothered the attempt to prevent the score. The App defense again forced a field goal attempt on the Paladins' next posses­ sion. However, this timeGlenn Connally's 42-yard barefoot attempt was good, put­ ting the Paladin's on the board first, 3-0, with 6:53 to go in the opening quarter. The Paladins extended their lead to 100 early in the second quarter, taking ad­ vantage of one of Campbell's fumbles. Furman's Steve Norrisrecovered the loose ball on the ASU 42-yard mark. Six plays later, Tremble carried it in from six yards out. The Mountaineers only score came following Furman's next possession as the App "D" forced a punt.

Campbell admitted following the game that the ASU offense is having trouble moving the ball. Mountaineers acknowledge offensive shortcomings By KURT C. WARD Appalachian Sports Editor The Mountaineers 30-7 loss to the Paladins Saturday marked the adnission of some offensive problems by he ASU players and coaches. ;urman Following Saturday's game ASU quarerback D.J. Campbell, who completed j ust nine of 25 passes for 132 yards and ivas sacked twice, said, "The offense is aving trouble moving the ball. I don't w if it's me or something else. I don't w what's going on, (but) something i to be done." The ASU offense gained just 113 yards the ground en route to a total offensive of274yards. They have failed toscore touchdown in the team's last nine quar­ ters of play, with the last offensive TD coming in the third period of The Citadel victory on Sept. 29. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore echoed Campbells' senti­ ments that the offense's lack of production is morally wound­ ing. "It's very frus­ trating," Moore said. "It's not any one guy, a back, the line — just a lot of frustration. We've made a commit­ ment as coaches to get that worked out. "We're going to have to do a lot of searching. (We'll) just try to analyze what 44 Moore, who compiled a 9-3 record his first season at the Mountaineer helm, said that he is going to have to spend a lot of extra time view­ ing the films of ASU's games."If it was one thing (one problem) - then that's the answer," he said. "It's hard off the top of ray. -D.J. Campbell head (to pinpoint the problems)." ASU Quarterback The offense is having trouble moving the ball. I don't know if it's me or something else.

Lady Apps lead conference Appalachian Staff Reports The ASU women's volleyball squad I lengthened their grip on the Southern I .(inference lead by taking three league I latches last week. (in three games on Oct. 13) en route to the 3-0 league week. ASU Head Coach Traci McGee attrib­ uted the wins to theMountaineers "crunch time"play. "Iampleased withtheway we played," McGee said. "We especially came on strong during crunch time." The Lady Apps crunch time play was most evident in Friday's 17-15, 16-14, 10-15, 15-12 win over Furman. The Mountaineers entered the game tied for the conference lead with the Lady Pala­ dins, but exited alone atop the standings. "We were behind the entire match," McGee said. "We'd let them get 12 or 13 points and then really start attacking. It was a nice match for the fans to watch. They (the Lady Apps) had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. "They never gave up and that really shows a lot of the character." The Lady Mountaineers picked up their third league win of the week on Saturday as the Apps topped Marshall, 15-5,16-14, 15-5, to improve to 7-1 in conference play this year. Kim Nelson led the team in kills with 13, while Tammy Craig was close behind with 12. Nelson compiled a .579 hitting percentage whileCraig finished with .455. Joanne Myers completed 38 of her 61 setting attempts to finish the match with a .623 setting percentage and boost her average to .343 on the year. Last Tuesday the Lady Apps defeated the Lady Catamounts of Western Carolina in four games, 15-7, 12-15, 15-9, 15-9. f The win marked the first time an ASU I squad has beat the Cats in Cullowhee since 1985. "They (Western) are a tough team to beat on their home court," McGee said. Nelson aided the team with nine service aces. Craig recorded 17 kills, while Nelson and Sabrina Hill had 10 kills each. Myers [ finished the match with 39 assists. The Lady Mountaineers now sport an overall record of 15-5 while holding down the top spot in the league at 7-1.

Squirrel interrupts practice Despite minor problems, Hornets enjoyed visit to Boone By JOHN THOMPSON, JR. Appalachian Staff Writer Can you see the headline? "J.R. Reid dies of fatal squirrel bite." Well, it could have happened during last week's pre­ season training camp held by the Char­ lotte Hornets here in Boone. Many other surprises marked the Hornets trip to ASU as they prepared for the upcoming NBA season. Probably the biggest surprise (at least for some people) was the fact that the Hornets trained in Boone at all. The rea­ son why, according to Hornets Vice President of Basketball Operations Allan Bristow, was Boone's "location and se­ clusion. It's close enough to Charlotte not to be a long trip, but it's still sort of secluded. It's really the perfect location." According to ASU Head Basketball Coach Tom Apke, the Hornets' manage­ ment "really likes it here. There is even talk of trying to set up an exhibition game up here next year." The players themselves enjoyed their stay in Boone, at least as much as was possible. With two hard workouts a day. the players spent much of their free time relaxing. The bulk of the Hornets night life, according to Doug Roth (a 6'11" center from Tennessee), was spent find­ ing places to eat. "We hit several different restaurants and watched the baseball games on TV," Roth said. "After practice and all, I for one was ready to relax." The players had mostly positive things to say about the Boone area. Kenny Gattison (a 6'8" forward from Old Do­ minion University) said Boone was a good place to have camp and it is a "good little community," but he added that the reason they were here was all business. "We came here to play ball, to work, and we have," Gattison said. "I enjoyed being here, but when that last practice rolls around, we're ready to go." Of course, the players did have a few problems here they wouldn't have had in Charlotte orelsewhere. During Tuesday's scrimmage, a squirrel made its way into Varsity Gym, the site of the team's prac­ tice sessions. Play was suspended while the squirrel was chased off the court. The players were also hounded by autograph seekers and fans, but not nearly as much as would happen in Charlotte or any other big city. Perhaps the biggest controversy of the camp was started by Kelly Tripucka (a 6 '6" forward from Notre Dame). Tripucka, a nine-year veteran, complained about the floor in Varsity Gym, saying it was "hard as hell." Tripucka went on to say, "I've had to ice my ankles and knees after every practice." Tyronc "Muggsy"Bogues (a 5'3" guard from Wake Forest) added that the floor was "killing our knees,"and Dave Hoppen (a 6'10" center from Nebraska) said he also noticed the floor as being "solid." Apke, who has coached at ASU for four seasons, said, "In my years up here, I've never had a complaint about it (the floor) from anyone else. I don't think there's a problem; these guys are just used to a different surface and are feeling the dif­ ference." Even with all the diversions, the Hor­ nets still had a productive camp. Head Coach Gene Littles made the first cuts late last week, letting go Roth and Purdue's Mel McCants, and is expected to make more cuts soon. Hesaid Boone was agreat place to have camp, and he hoped to be back soon. Until then, the Hornets have an 82-game season to play, starting Friday Nov. 2 when they host New York. Camels take controversial win By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU men's soccer team lost 3-2 to the Fighting Camels of Campbell Uni­ versity last Wednesday in a game marred by heavy rain and questionable officiating. The Mountaineers had two apparent goals nullified in the late stages-two goals that would have given the Apps the vic­ tory. Coach Art Rex was not pleased with the loss or the officiating. "I was very frus­ trated with the two calls," Rex said. We played very well, did the things we need to do in a ballgame. We won this game: I don't care what the scoreboard or the referees say." With the score knotted at 2-2 and inside 25 minutes to play, Appalachian appeared to score the go-ahead goal, but the refer­ ees disallowed the point ruling that an unsafe, high kick was used. Five minutes later ASU put the ball in Campbell's goal again. But once more the officials reversed the score, ruling that an illegal push had been committed. So, in­ stead of a4-2 Mountaineer lead, the match remained tied. Campbell took advantage of the nulli­ fied goals with six minutes left in the contest and scored the game winner off a corner kick. With large puddles encompassing the field, neither team could seriously threaten the opposition's goal early in the match. But Appalachian overcame the elemental I adversity when Mark McGuinn scored with 21 minutes left in the first period off a John Cerak assist. The two broke away from Campbell's defenders and outma neuvered the goaltender to put the Moun­ taineers ahead 1-0. Sloshy field conditions prohibited either squad from exhibiting any form of ball control for the majority of the first half. Still, sophomore David Terry was able to sweep in from the right sideline and de­ liver an assist to a slashing Cerak, who banged the ball into the net and gave ASU a 2-0 lead at halftime. Campbell attacked quickly and effec­ tively in the second period.

Students should take le in the rankings that North Carolina colleges have achieved, ongratulations ASU! You have certainly made us proud. Locker room etiquette revisited You have probably heard enough about the controversy of women in men's locker rooms, but I want to open up this old can of worms once more. Please don't throw the paper down in disgust. I know this was one of the most overblown, outrageous stories in the news lately, and I believe that's what has me so tickled. Male reporters have been going into men's locker rooms for as long as there have been big local and national sports events. Women found their way into the locker rooms in the 70s and stayed there permanently after ihe courts told baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn in 1978 that he could not bar female reporters from clubhouses on the grounds that it was an invasion of player privacy. Of course, the courts were absolutely right. Women have as much right as men to cover the major sporting events, and if the male reporters are going in the locker rooms, the female reporters have every right to follow. We are surely capable of being sportswTiters, and this in itself entitles us to go out and get the top stories from the NFL, NBA and MBL. This is what the public wants, and if you want to excel in sports journalism, you gotta cover the major three. So what is the problem here? We have people wanting to do a job and an audience that wants the dirt. The recent flurry of bad publicity on women in men's locker rooms started back in September when members of the New England Patriots invited sportswriter Lisa Olson to"touch their private parts." Please keep in mind that this incident happened after a team practice and not after a game. Besides being lewd, crude and highly unacceptable, this is exactly what I would expect out of a sweatdrenched, hyped-up jock. I mean lets face it, these guys are tough athletes who have just come off of the playing field and still have a taste for blood.They are filthy, beat up and either on a natural high from winning or experiencing deep depression from losing. They are going to say just about anything and, as these Patriots players prove, some of them do not have the mental maturity to handle serious questions from members of the opposite sex. This is what makes locker room reporting so essential to a good sports story. Players coming straight off of the playing field, still coated in game film, will say what's on their mind and not hold back at all. If they felt that the other team played like a bunch of little league players, they'll let you know it then in nouncertain terms. If they felt like they screwed and caused the team great embarrassment, you'll get a pitiful little "I could have done better if...." If you wait until they ve showered, changed and conversed with other players, you might get a more defensive answer that puts the blames elsewhere. Either way, the quotes which come out of a player's mouth in the minutes after the game are the ones the reporters want and usually need. Why do they need them? Deadlines. If you go to press an hour after the late gameon Sunday, you don't have time Local citizens and students speak out In the ad Helms claims to have voted for oil spill cleanup by oil companies. But in 1989, he voted to kill an amendment to require double hulls on new tankers, hulls that may have prevented the Exxon Valdese disaster. And he voted against allowing states, including North Carolina, to have stricter oil spill liability standards. Finally, Mr. Helms tells us that he suggested protection of the New River. That he did! But the fact that he had to go back 14 years to find a real environ­ mental vote just proves my point further. Jesse is no friend of the environment! Quotes of the Week; Lorn. j-cuLE.--5.kjHs.

Major league Hope sports are the only place you will find people conducting business in a big bathroom with half of the people fully Harvey clothed and theother half almost nude. It is rather absurd!1! So what if this is the way it has always been done. Things change when the need arises, and it seems like that time has come. It would be different if some of these guys got thatcrazy ideaout of their heads, that women liked that kind of talk. Equally, it would be nice if women reporters for the quarterback to clean-up and present himself. If an could just ignore these animals and pass them off in their editor is yelling at you to get the story or else, you don't articles as overgrown boys.

I mean was and refrain from such insulting comments but hey, they're she asking the guys how they felt about their performance males. It must be a recessive gene that gives us the nice during practice that day, or was she just searching for men that would never utter such things to a woman and trouble? who would blush at the mere thought of disrobing in front The following Monday night, Wyche, whom I men­ of a woman with whom they were not romantically tioned earlier, right out banned all female reporters from involved. his locker room.

This would accomplish two things which are Some will say that these fines are necessary to combat ' at the heart of this issue. male chauvinism. Well, If I were making as much as these For starters, all the reporters, male and female alike, guys, I would hardly feel like I had been punished. would have quotes and comments for their articles.

Men wish we ! the athletes could clean up and get ready to head home or would get over our hang-ups about their sexist comments. out to dinner. I personally feel thatneither of these will be accomplished The most important thing this would accomplish would as long as one member of one generation is around to tell be that the players could have privacy—you know that youngsters how it used to be. And besides, it's not like thing the fourth amendment of the constitution talks they can't read about the good (or bad depending on your about. These guys are like one big family and walking position) ole days. around in the buff among one another is an everyday Things will probably quieten down for a while on the occurrence. Reporters in locker rooms are like uninvited locker room front. Olson had her say; Mowatt was fined; guest at family gatherings—out of place! and Wyche made a stand. The next hurdle for equal rights Another important aspect of this invasion of privacy is in the locker rooms will come when men decide to get the that the locker room is the player's office and only those scoop on what goes in women's locker rooms. I can hear who are invited in for a specific reason should go across it now.. "Hello, everyone. A1 Michaels here with Stefi the threshold. Cincinnati Bengals Coach Sam Wyche Graff in the ladies locker room. Tell us Stefi..." Being a long time environmental activist, I am overjoyed to find that my prayers are finally being answered. The decade of the environment must be at hand. Even Jesse Helms is now bragging about his environmental credentials. Recently, the Jesse Helms campaign released at TV ad attacking Harvey Gantt's record on the environment and extolling his own. This ad has to be the biggest attempted con job since the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood. The ASU community is hopefully a little less gullible than our fairy taie heroine. For his 18-year term in the Senate, Helms has been an embarrassment to anyone. Republican or Democrat, who cares about the beautiful environment of North Carolina and of the United States. He has consistently had one of the poorest records in the Senate on important environmental votes as determined by the League of Conserva­ tion Voters. In the ad Jesse Helms brags of his pro-active stand on cleaning up toxic waste. In September 1985, Helms indeed voted yes on a toxic waste amendment. This amendment which he sponsored, however, was meant to restrict funds available for toxic waste cleanup. He was joined by a small minority of the Senate in this losing cause. In 1990, the Helms anti-environment record continues. Helms joined the minority (89-11) in voting against the bi-partisan Clean Air Act And on Sept. 25 of this year Helms voted again in the minority (57-42) to kill further action on a bill that would require cars to get better gas mileage, an action that would make us less dependent on Middle East oil. On Nov. 6, you may decide to vote for Jesse Helms, but please don't use the environment as one of your reasons. Harvey Gantt has good environmental credentials and has been endorsed by the North Carolina 10,000 member Sierra Club. Vote for Gantt if "green" matters. Harvard Ayers Blue Ridge Sierra Club Students who are not athletes must have their concerns met as well To the Editor: First of all, I must express thanks to "Appalachian" News Editor Shawn O'Neal for his Oct. 2 article on the Student Activity Center. Though there are still many unanswered questions, some attempt to educate ASU students must be made. I have spent many hours trying to understand the situation with the Student Activity Center, and one problem I have encountered is the lack of cooperation by the Thomas adminis­ tration. Why can't students and faculty get honest, consistent answers about a building we are already paying for? Why hasn't the fact that the state rejected the Environmental Impact Study for the Student Activity Center been brought to light? I came to ASU for a quality educa­ tion, as well as the natural scenery that surrounds the campus. I certainly did not come here to be surrounded by a bunch of empty seats while ASU is crushed by a "big name" basketball team. Speaking of basketball, I find it hilarious that this building is being called a "Student Activities Center." Who is the administration fooling? I think a more appropriate title would be the "Seby Jones Center for Athletes." Please do not insult the non-athletic students of ASU by acting as if we will have any use for this facility. I am sure, however, that we non-athletes would benefit from a more complete library and a high quality faculty...Some of us haven't forgotten what a college education is about. In closing, I must address Chancellor Thomas' "recipe" for getting ASU through the budget crunch — 'Two carrots and more water." Well Dr. Thomas, I don't think the $24 million Student Activity Center will fit into our soup pot. Wendy Tonker AppleCART service needs to follow the path on the map and stop for students To the Editor: I really appreciate the fact that ASU offers a transit system for those of us who live off campus, but I really do not appreciate its inconsistencies. I could not say how many times I have heard people ask, "Can I get off here?" and get the reply, "No, I can only stop at designated stops." Yet I have stood at designated stops three times this week and been passed right by. In one specific incident, I was standing in the glass Appalcart building in front of Walker Hall because it was raining. The driver kept on going, not stopping for me or anyone else who might have been waiting. As a matter of fact, he did not even look our way. Ironically, this spot, according to the Appal cart flyer, was a designated stop. They tell us they can only stop at designated stops, yet they do not. It would be greatly appreciated by all of us if the Appalacart drivers would just do what they say they do. Pam Jackson ASU Box 11545 Having control over your own body is only part of the abortion issue To the Editor: Many articles and editorials pub­ lished in "The Appalachian" in the last few weeks have addressed one view or another of the abortion question. Although, a pro-choice advocate, I can see valid points on the anti-choice side. It always amazes me when a woman, any woman, speaks (or writes) out against the choice of controlling our own bodies and so I, like many before me, have a few opinions to share. First, people are going to have sex and, since no birth control method is 100 percent reliable, legal clinical abortions are a " last resort" to un­ wanted (and often unaffordable) pregnancies. Second, all pregnancies are not caused by willing sexual activities in which birth control fails. Many women each year are impregnated as a result of rape. In fact, one out of every ten college women can expect to be raped, and a percentage of them will become pregnant as a result. It is hard for me to call it more inhumane to terminate a pregnancy (in the first trimester when most are done) than to force a woman to give birth to a child that was conceived out of a violent, disgusting crime. Finally, whether abortions do or do not remain legal, they will be per­ formed. The history of abortion is as old as history itself and is practiced in all societies. If clinical abortions are made illegal, then women will be forced to return to the days of coathangers and toxic solutions, which, in many (if not most) cases, not only ended the existence of a fetus, but the life of an adult about whom the question of "when does life begin" has already been answered.

The final blast, which East ilents said happened a short time after p.m., was said to have "shook the " of the hall. John Magers, the East Hall resident Istant on duty that night, said that two small explosions happened between 9 and 9:30p.m. in garbagecans located between East and Sanford Halls. The third ex­ plosion took place in a garbage can on the other side of the hall which faces Hardin Street. East Hall residents Rob Mosteller and Stephen Calderon, whose room was one of the closest to the final explosion site, said that they "felt like they were being shot at" when they heard the third blast. "(Calderon) just happened to be walk­ ing in the door when the explosion hap­ pened. When it went off, we both ducked as fast as we could. Then we heard pieces of something hit the wall," Mosteller said. Mosteller said he and his roommate went outsideto see whatexploded, only to discover a puddle of water and fragments of a three-liter plastic soda bottle. Some of the fragments, according to Mosteller and ASU Security officials, were found more than 30 feet away from the puddle. Education loctorate arts in '91 such as the one found in pieces at the third explosion site. Mosteller said the air given off during the chemical reaction of the dry ice and water is under great pressure. A closed bottle would naturally cause a buildup of pressure within the bottle, leading to an explosion. ASU Security Director Roy Tugman said that the case is currently under in­ vestigation by campus security officials. All pieces of evidence found were taken to the SBI's crime labs in Raleigh for further investigation. Tugman alsosaid there are presently no confirmed suspects in the incident, but that the department has leads they are using in their search. According to Tugman, the "bomb" supposedly used in the incident does not constitute a standard incendiary device, so therefore standard charges of setting off an explosive device maynot be used in this case.

Photo Courtooy ot Watauga Damocrat NOW PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON "THE POLITICS OF GENDER:" National Organization for Women President Molly Yard spoke at Farthing Auditorium last Tuesday night as part of ASU's continuing forum series on the effect of politics on society. Yard said her organization is thoroughly behind the effort to elect Democrat Harvey Gantt to the Senate, replacing three-term incumbent Jesse Helms, who Yard said "has no regard for the truth." The leader of the women's group said she was "very, very angry" at the Bush administration because of their track record of opposing privacy laws and op­ posing the present legality of abortion. Yard also commented about newly swom Supreme Court justice David Souter, who was confirmed in the Senate earlier that day by a 91-9 margin: "There was no question that Souter was going to be confirmed. We would have done well if we received 10 votes against him." Yard said she had "no doubt in her mind" that he would be the swing vote in the court that could possibly overturn the historic and controversial Roe v. Wade case of 1973 that declared abortions legal. "The Supreme Court has not done very well by us," she said. Earlier that day. Yard said she was in the Capitol building attending a hearing by the House Subcommittee on Civil and Constitutional Rights which met to discuss what Yard called the Freedom of Choice Act. This is legislation meant to make the Roe v. Wade decision a law approved by Congress rather than as a decision solely made by the high court. "The thing we would like tohave happen is a uniform code toexist...this business of state-by-state (abortion legislation) is just chaotic," Yard said. Yard said that the 50 state governors at a convention over thesummer complained that each state's legislature would have to take up the issue. The first governor to testify for the federal law, according to Yard, was Vermont Governor Madeleine Kunin. Another governor Yard said was interested in the bill was Louisiana Gov­ ernor Charles "Buddy" Roemer.

Hunt (D—Watauga Co.), running for her third term in the House, said her greatest concerns about this election are health insurance costs and the proposed low-level waste site, both of which she worked on last year. Rep. Dave Diamont (D—Surry Co.), seeking his ninth term in the House, said that he brings a lot of experience to the House and his main concern this year is the budget cuts, especially cuts aimed at education. "I had the fortune, or misfortune if you want to look at it that way, of serving as House Appropriations Chairman this year, at a time when the budget was low and needs were high," Diamont said. "I had to take a limited number of resources and apply them to a lot of needs." Representative Diamont encouraged senators to inform the General Assembly of certain needs in the university. "You (students) need to tell us how budget cuts affect your everyday class­ room life," Diamont said. "You convince us of a need, and we'll make the tough decisions." Diamont also encouraged voters not to be persuaded by television ad campaigns for public offices. "Our issues are extremely complex and difficult. Don't let candidates convince you on ho w to vote by a30-second spot on television," Diamont said.

"Then they should come up with concrete reasons why they don't think the fees are reasonable or if they do. If they don't know a senator, students can come by Workman Hall and find one or talk to me. I can't represent students unless I know how they feel." Vice President Daryl Ghent also ex­ pressed a need for student involvement and wants to establish a senator commit­ tee to discuss the proposed increases fur­ ther. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs, also addressed senate members. "I believe that the quality of the faculty is outstanding," Zimmerman said. "However, the library facility is some­ thing that needs attention," Zimmerman said. Senate members also asked Zimmerman his opinion on ASU traffic and parking. Zimmerman described the traffic as"atro­ cious," but felt that parking space was adequate. "We have lots of parking space, but not near enough to campus. We are looking at high-rise parking, but it is extremely expensive," Zimmerman said. See SENATE page 4 By THOMAS RIGGINS Assistant News Editor University of North Carolina system President, C.D. Spangler Jr. donated his salary of $142,520 plus some of his per­ sonal wealth to the state's 16 universities in an effort to stop complaints over his salary. Spangler said in a news release he had written that he had sent a $10,000 check to each campus, which chancellors may use as they see fit. Spangler said he made the donation because his salary has caused comment among a few editorial writers, N.C. General Assembly members and some citizens. Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, said, "I think Mr. Spangler's donation is marvelous. "We will use the donation the best we can." Before Spangler took the university system presidency in 1986, he was in the construction and banking businesses. In the three months that ended June 30, Spangler and his wife were paid $1.25 million as a quarterly dividend on their stock in the NCNB Corporation. Spangler's family also owns nearly one percentof RJR NabiscoInc.'s stock, worth about $220 million in1989. According to Forbes magazine,Spangler is ranked377th on the wealthiest Americans list Spangler already donated to the uni­ versity system the director's fees he re­ ceives from serving on two corporate boards—BellSouth Corporation and the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. BellSouth pays directors $24,000, plus $900 for each meeting they attend. The Equitable director's fees aren't public, a company spokesman said. Like all state employees, Spangler re­ ceived a six percent pay raise this year. The state's revenue shortfall forces UNC campuses andother stateagencies toslash their budgets by as much as five percent. Worried that resentment of his salary could translate into resentment of the UNC system, Spangler opted to donate the money to the universities. 'T just felt it was the right thing to do," Spangler said. While Spangler ranks among thestate's highest-paid employees, he salary isn't exorbitant for university system presi­ dents. The head of the University of California's system makes $230,600 and the head of the University ofTexas receives $192,500. Spangler is worried aboutN.C. legisla­ tors who have discussed limiting the salaries of state employees who make more than $70,000. Spanglerdidn'tname those legislators, but N.C. Rep. Howard Chapin, D Beaufort. Co., was one who has suggested the state should limit the percentage of raises given to employees making more than $70,000. According to Zimmerman, Spangler's position is very complicated, time con­ suming and prestigious; the position commands a salary far in excess of what Spangler receives. "North Carolina citizens owe a great deal to individuals such as Spangler who give their time toeducation," Zimmerman said.

(it ;,ih.*r j j ^ i yy i He wants to do hi,, It too difficult to hlSui SIU students tricked out of parties Clubscan Without your heln h ^ to do them. Alpha Kappa Psi (CPS)—Halloween, something of an unofficial national student holiday on many campuses, is becoming an official student holiday at one school this year. Not all students, however, are happy about it. "They wanted to stop the party," com­ plained Ed Walthers, chief of staff of the student government at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. In what is probably the nation's most extreme effort to halt student Halloween parties that often devolve into chaotic, violent street trawls, SIU is making all its students leave campus from Friday, Oct. 26 through Tuesday, Oct. 30. SIU will shut all its dorms during the "holiday." We (the school's administrators) have discussed a mid-semester break for years, but the Halloween situation hurried our decision,' said SIU President John C. Guyon. Despite the formation of a Halloween Core Committee to coordinate increased police protection, street closings and bans on glass bottles, in 1988 the celebration spun completely out of control. More than 300 people were hospitalized with facial lacerationscaused by broken bottles, one person was stabbed and a woman was raped, SIU officials reported. Frustrated SIU and Carbondale offi­ cials then announced a series of measures to wind down the party gradually, finally killing it this year by driving most SIU students out of town for the weekend. "The student senate is opposed" to the forced holiday, Walthers said. While Walthers thought the break would be good for students' studies, he thought the reasoning behind it flawed. Beefing up security and changing the name to the "Boulder Bash" in 1989 did not prevent40,000people from jamming into a three-block area, climbing lamp­ posts, breaking liquor bottles, trampling lawns and starting fights. This year, city officials will surround the area with roadblocks and sobriety checkpoints to try to dissuade people from going to the mall. Party bans have worked in the past. When the annual Halloween party at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst whirled into a 1979riot in which students vandalized local stores, UMass officials imposed a five-year ban on Halloween parties. There have been no unusual troubles at the smaller parties that grew up at the school after the ban. Yet Halloween celebrations have turned dangerous at other campuses as well. Moreover, Walthers asserted some students who can't go home will have no place to stay during the break. But SIU spokeswoman Sue Davis said The "situation" is the giant, unofficial the school had not heard any complaints Halloween parties that SIU studentsfrom students whohad nowhere to go, and In 1985 at the University of Hlinoissoon joined by students and then that SIU would stick to its plan to close all Champaign campus, windows were nonstudents from all over the midwest its single-student dormitories. smashed, bonfires were lit, fistfights have held annually since the mid-1970s.

Greer. JQje production, which includes threemountain stories, is suitable for all ages and features music and audience participation. This month, the Appalachian Young Peoples Theatre will perform "Mountain Tales" under the direction of Dr. Linda Welden. The production will consist of three stories which were chosen by the performance of literature class and adapted for the stage by Welden. The performance of literature class has been studying traditional mountain stories that have been handed down from genera­ tion to generation through oral tradition. They have chosen to perform "How Pa LeamedTo Grow Hot Peppers,""Pudding That Broke Up The Preaching" and "Wicked John And The Devil." Welden explained that the literature is suitable for any age and that the produc­ tion is "geared toward the child in all of us." The production will open with the song "Coming Around the Mountain" (a song everyone knows) and the audience will have achance to be involved through­ out the production. The characters, con­ sisting of narrators and actors, are "old time mountain folk." The actors use an authentic dialect but Welden says, "We are celebrating a folk tradition of the mountains. We're not trying to duplicate anything realistic because most of the people in the show are not from the mountains." "The Appalachian Young Peoples Theatre is a subsidiary organization within the department of theatre and dance," Welden said. The group does two pro­ ductions a year which are shown in the spring and in the fall. "Mountain Tales" will be performed by an ensemble of the following 10 students in the performance of literature class: Robin Bates, Penny Boyes, Stephen Corbett,Sharon Hazouri, Suzanne Holshouser, Richard Huffine, Charlene Lentz, Paul-SeanMcCain,Jason Stewart and Anna Ward. The stage man­ ager is David Smith and his assistant is Teresa Johnson. When asked about the cast's ability to work together, Boyes said there were no problems. "We're all having a real good time and learning a lot. Dr. Welden is a great director; she's got a lot of energy." The actors seem to agree that the pro­ duction is an excellent opportunity to vi­ sually display the historical, oral storiesof the Appalachian mountains to college students and residentsof WataugaCounty "The content is excellent," Boyes said. "Mountain Tales" will run on Oct. 11 and 12 at 7 p.m., and on Oct. 13 at 2 p.m. in I.G. Greer. Because the show is for young people as well as old, the produc­ tion will last for only one hour. The cost will be $1 for students and children and $2 for adults and non-students. Since the Appalachian Young Peoples Theatre is directed towards the young at heart, Welden and the cast hope to see an audi­ ence of all ages. Film uses predictable plot Dff By PAUL FLEETWOOD Appalachian Staff Writer 75 'Trains are very romantic and exotic, tOldi was compelled by the claustropho~ tic environment created when you take ^ leople and confine them in very tight paces where there is prey, predator, and 10 place to go," Director Peter Hyams aid of the story behind his new motion licture thriller, "Narrow Margin." Gene Hackman stars as Los Angeles deputy District Attorney Robert Caulfield, I £,who tracks down Carol Hunnicut, played —qy the ever "fatally" attractive Anne Ar­ cher, becauseshe witnessed a brutal mob -killing. Caulfield finds Hunnicut hiding I put in a remote cabin in the Canadian [Mountains. Unbeknownst to the smart district Attorney, a dirty official leaks .his information to the mobsters, and I ICaulfield leads the mob's hitmen straight 0 the witness they want to keep quiet, lermanently. Hunnicut and Caulfield escape on board 1 train heading for Vancouver. Unfortulately, two hitmen follow them on the rain. They are professional killers, there s no way off the speeding train, and the mly person protecting the beautiful wit­ less is an unarmed lawyer. Quite an nteresting premise to a film which leads iff the fall releases. Interesting, but not complete. Thestory only emphasizes what the lawyer does to keep the woman alive. There is no con­ centration or attempt to developany of the characters. The story randomly bounces around as much as the characters them­ selves, and the script, written by Hyams, contains predictable plot twists and little excitement for the audience. Although Hackman and Archer's acting talents are not pushed, they deliver a believable performance as the hunted pair and give the movie a polished look. The film proved to be more of a physical challenge for Hackman and Archer, who spent several days of shooting on the top and side of a moving train. The supporting performances of M. Emmet Walsh and J.T. Walsh, however short they may be, are excellent. JamesB. Sikking, who plays the confident, intelli­ gent hitman, makes his fourth appearance in aPeter Hyams film. S ikking's character is despised more because of his arrogance rather than his actions. For Hyams, being the director, writer, and director of photography is no new task. He handled all three duties in the past for "2010" and has directed other movies such as "Running Scared," "The Star Chamber" and, more recently, "The Presidio." Hyams creates a different version of a script taken from the 1952 B-movie "The Narrow Margin," much like he did more successfully with his outer space "High Noon" and action-thriller "Outland." In "Narrow Margin," the feeling of empathy and commiseration for the D.A. and the witness is never fully established by Hyams like he did so effectively for "Outland." The audience is never able to gain an emotional attachment to the characters or the cause they fight for. Hyams does successfully use the cam­ era to tell much of the action on screen. A wonderful heart"stopping scene is created when Hyams uses a unique camera angle to show Hunnicut separated from a ruth­ less hitman only by an opened door and a heartbeat. Also, by using aerial shots, he sets upthe audience for theexci ting climax involving all the main characters on top of the speeding train heading through the majestic mountains of Canada, and squeezes the thin hallways on the train into shots that will give anyone claustro­ phobia. For Hackman and Archer, this movie will probably add to their impressive motion picture reputation as capable and daring actors. Hyams, who tackled three of the toughest aspects to making a film, made a respectable effort which granted him an entertaining result. ARE WE ALMOST THERE?: Clinging to the roof of a speeding train while it cuts through the Canadian wilderness, Gene Hackman and Anne Archer attempt toelude hired killers in the recently released film "Narrow M argin." Hackman plays Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Robert Caulfield and Archer plays murder witness Carol Hunnicut.The film relies on the performance and reputation of its stars to compensate for a predictable plot "frequeNCy" album presents new faces and breaks new ground By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer I was a bit skeptical when approached with the idea of reviewing "frequeNCy," •compilation of North Carolina bands. In the wake of the mega-stardom of REM •nd the B52's and the subsequent emer­ gence of Athens, Georgia as a rock-n-roll mecca for the whole of the Southeast, North Carolina is pretty much overrun by *eak REM wanna-be janglepopsters and play-by-the-numbers Stooges knockoffs. All seem to come well-armed with nice, logical guitar stylings and a few carefully selected Velvet Underground covers. What a thrill. But alas, in my cynicism, I missed out on some real local talent, a bit of which has made it onto this local music compi­ lation."frequeNCy"does contain itsshare of dead weight, but there are a few bands here who are definitely worth watching.

The Veldt, from Raleigh, open "frequeNCy" with a kick. The Veldt are one of the best known North Carolina bands outside of the state (Vemon Reid of LivingColour mentioned them as faves in a "Rolling Stone" interview). Stylisti­ cally, they draw upon widely diverse in­ fluences, ranging fromThe Cure and vari­ ous 4AD bands to the Jesus and Mary Chain. Their tune, "It's Over" seems to be representative. "It's Over" blends strong vocals with a dense, layered wall of guitar noise - an excellent antidote to the more traditional guitar sounds lurking else­ where. Next up are the Vanilla Train wreck, also from Raleigh. At this point, they aren't as well known as The Veldt, but Lf their entire set rages like this selection ("Please, Set Me On Fire"), that won't be the case for very long. "Please Set Me On Fire" is positively possessed with the ghost of the late, great Husker Du. This one doesn't let up for a minute. Track number three,"Frances," is sup­ plied by Chapel Hill's Dillon Fence. This one shifts gears completely, into a cool.

"Georgia O' " is one of the more techni­ u cally interesting tunes here, and its stark, haunting minimalism provides a fitting conclusion to "frequeNCy." The main problems with "frequeNCy" are a genera] lack of diversity, and an absence of any kind of originality on most tracks here. Most of the materia] here is good to a certain point, and technically all of the artists seem to know what they are doing, but there isn'treally much here that hasn't been done elsewhere. Currently, Replacements-Chili Peppers-REM knockoffs come pretty much a dime a dozen, and in North Carolina there seems to be a good number of bands treading some all too familiar waters. The lack of regionality is another less crucial gripe. "frequeNCy" seems in­ tensely over-dominated by Raleigh area bands. Other cities in the state—Char­ lotte, Greensboro or, even Boone—have produced a significant number of bands as good or better than a number of bands appearing on "frequeNCy" (Autumn Cannibalism, Business and Industry, and the now defunct Discord and Fetchin Bones have for quite a while been some of the only glimmers of originality anywhere near here). Daring, talented bands spe­ cializing in music which breaks into new territory are to be found scattered state­ wide, not concentrated in one out of eight or 10 urban areas in the state. However, "frequeNCy" does manage to present a few new faces and to break some new ground. The good stuff here (The Veldt, Vanilla Trainwreck, Dillon Fence, And Siamese Urbain, blackgirls, Kurupsure) manages to stand out, and there is enough of it to merit some further investigation. Hopefully a "frequeNCy Volume Two" will be issued to expand upon the base which has been laid down here. . �The Appalachian Thurt^y.

Appalachian Sports Editor The Appalachian State Mountaineers fell to their third AtlanticCoast Conference opponent of the season Saturday in Raleigh as the WolfpackofN.C. State manhandled the Mountaineers, scoring eight touch­ downs en route to a 56-0 victory. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore was surprised about the 56-0 rout. "I sure didn'texpectit," Moore said. "Things just got out of hand . . . due to our own mistakes." Coupled with ASU's mistakes was the defensive play of the Wolfpack squad. The Pack entered the game with a defense ranked sixth in the nation. In Saturday's contest. State held the Mountaineers to 219 yards of total offense, allowed them to convert just two of 13 third-down at­ tempts, and held them to just 33 net yards passing. Meanwhile, State racked up 424 yards of total offense, including 302 yards on the ground. The Pack was .500 on thirddown conversions, converting six of 12 attempts. "We just didn't play a good game," ASU linebacker Dwayne Pelham told "Winston-Salem Journal" reporter Bill Cole. "We had too many mistakes and too many errors. Bad things happen when you don't play well." The Mountaineers crossed into State territory just once in the first half, while the Pack scored three touchdowns in the first half and carried the ball into Appa­ lachian territory on two other occasions. AS U's one first-half jaunt into the Pack side of the field ended on a third-and-goal play from the State 10-yard line when quarterback D.J. Campbell's pass sailed high and into the hands of State inside linebacker Tyler Lawrence at the goal line. Lawrence brought the ball out to the 26 on the return. "In my own mind, I thought the score at half would be 14-3 or 14-7," Moore said. "Everyone said J.K.(Reaves, the intended receiver on Campbell's interception) would have scored if he would have been able to catch the ball; I don't know. (But, we) should have had a chance at a field goal." The halftime deficit for the App squad was 21-0, as Gary Downs opened the afternoon's scoring with a one-yard dive, and Aubrey Shaw added two more firstquarter TDs. Downs, a true freshman, was a new addition to the State starting line-up and one of several changes Pack Coach Dick Sheridan made on the day. Sheridan also installed sophomore Terry Jordan at quar­ terback and placed freshman Ledel George at one of the receiving posts. Jordan completed 10 of 18 passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted once by Pelham.Georgecaught five passes including a 17-yard touch­ down toss from Jordan. Sheridan, who recorded his 100th col­ legiate coaching victory with the win, said the changes were made because of some strife the team had been through in previ­ ous weeks. The Pack offense had failed to scored a touchdown in theprevious week's contest against UNC. "We had been struggling," Sheridan said. "We felt like we had to make some changes. We needed a game like this. We had to come out and make something happen on offense. The way we had been playing was very frustrating." However, during the course of the day, the problems State had experienced seemed to carry over to the ASU side of the field. Moore stated following the game, "We were struggling...(and) our decision­ making wasn't very good." "We were really looking forward to it (the game),"Moore said."We considered it a great challenge. I thought it would be a good aftemoon-a hard aftemoon-but a good one. "Our mistakes led to their touchdowns. I'd say 28 of theirpoints resulted from our poor play in the kicking game." Two of State's five second-half touch­ downs came as a direct result of kicking miscues. Late in the third quarter,a Harold Alexander punt was blocked by Sebastian Savage, and the loose ball was picked up and carried into the end zone by freshman De wayne Washington. Then, with just 35 seconds to go in the game, Anthony Smith fumbled while attempting to receive a punt inside his own 10 and Lee Knight recovered in the end zone for the final TD. See PACK page 8 Mountaineers look to bounce back against Furman Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Staff Writer By KURT C. WARD The Appalachian State Mountaineers will try to solidify their hold on first place in the Southern Conference this Saturday when they hostFurman, the nation's 12thranked I-AA team. The Paladins are in a three-way tie for second place in the con­ ference and are coming off a 51-22 rout of VMI. The game matches, arguably, the two best teams in the Southern Conference. However, both squads are in the midst of early-season slumps. The Mountaineers, who were drilled by N.C. State 56-0 last Saturday in Raleigh, have lost three of their last four games, while Furman had lost two in a row before romping VMI last weekend. The contest also marks the second time this season that Jerry Moore's ASU club has had to face the challenge of rebound­ ing at home against a quality conference opponent after suffering a huge defeat. Two weeks ago, the Mountaineers did just that, turning back The Citadel 27-9 after succumbing to Clemson 48-0 the week before. "Our mental state is fine," explained Moore on Tuesday. "We will be alright, we just didn't play very well at N.C. State. We didn't play well on offense or defense, and our special teams weren't effective either. The players know that and understand that." The game this Saturday will undoubt­ edly go a long way in determining the Southern Conference champion. The Paladins, two-timedefending conference champions, were picked in the preseason to successfully defend their title this year. Marshall, however, threw a major curve ball into those plans when they upset Furman 10-7 two weeks ago and Moore believes ASU can take Furman out of the championship picture with a victory Sat­ urday. "We just want to go out there and win Saturday,"Mooresaid. "Wehaven'tgiven any thought to losing. We want to eliminate thoseguys. That would boost us and keep us in a posit ion where we control what happens." The Paladins have historically owned ASU, holding a commanding 13-3-3 ad­ vantage in theseries.

The running game will most likely be the de­ ciding factor again this year. In Furman's two losses, they have averaged only 86 yards on,the ground. In their four wins, the Paladins have rushed for over 200 yards a game. The message is clear and simple: stop the running game and you stop Furman. That running game is led by tailback CarlTremble. The5'10" sophomore from Jacksonville, Fla. entered the VMI con­ test with300 yards rushingon theyear and six touchdowns. Tremble averaged 5.8 yards per carry as a freshman last year and is considered by the Furman staff as its most talented running back in over five years. Senior fullback Billy Stockdale provides the rest of Furman's primary rushing threat and had run for two touch­ downs heading into the VMI game. The Furman passing attack is also a threat. Senior quarterback Frankie DcBusk ranks second in the conference in total offense and passing efficiency and is currently listed as Furman's num­ ber two all-time passer. As a starter, DeBusk has directed Furman to a 26-4 record, two Southern Conference cham­ pionships and an NCAA I-AA national crown. DeBusk's primary passing targets are junior tight end Paul Siffri, junior split end Donald Lipscomb and senior flanker Brad Stephens. Lipscomb is adeep threat, averaging 20.1 yards a catch, while Siffri See MOUNTAINEERS page 8 selves as a playoff team," Newman said. "That's the attitude I'm bringing to Char­ lotte. We're going to establish something here." Armon Gilliam will again start at power forward for the Hornets. "The Hammer" led Charlotte in scoring (18.8) and re­ bounding (8.8) after coming over from Phoenix in the Kurt Rambis trade, and he believes he can have a bigger impact this season. "I'm more familiar with Coach Littles' system now," Gilliam said. "That's a big help, especially when you reinforce those things in training camp." Kenny Gattison, who led Charlotte's field goal shooting with a 55 percent ac­ curacy last season, and Richard Anderson also should see duty. J.R. Reid, a second team All-Rookie selection last season, is back at center. Reid (11.1 ppg, 8.4 rpg) started all 82 games a year ago and was theonly Hornet to play in every game. Hoppen will serve as Reid's backup. Charlotte selected University of Illi­ nois guard Kendall Gill with its first selection in the NBA draft and added Steve Scheffler, a burly 6-9 center from Purdue with its second pick.

Ipangler gives gift Last week, C.D. Spangler gave each school in the North Carolina school |stem $10,000 for a total of $160,000, the equivalent of his entire year's alary. He explained to each chancellor that he or she could allocate the joney to any place on campus that he or she felt needed it most. Sources say hat Spangler donated the money after some complained that he was not f ected by the budgetcuts in the school system in the stateof North Carolina. Jlhers say that he gave the money in a PR attempt to stop the controversy, and hat $160,000 would not make a huge dent in his personal budget. ] Whatever thereason, C.D. Spanglercertainly did not have to give his entire alary for a year in an effort to help the UNC systems. Although $10,000 is , |ily a drop in the bucket, it is money well received. ASU should put these unds into scholarship accounts. With fee increases and budget cuts, schol—jships would help students finance an expensive but vital college education, pjtlthough we need new buildings on campus, without students, these buildags would serve no purpose. Lj Others who can afford to help out our school system should consider bnating to universities, like ASU, to help them through this budget crisis. I ouldn't it be great if 10 others donated as freely as C.D. Spangler? :0 nreats hassle campus ; Once again,"someone is calling bomb threats into ASU classrooms and tuildings. The person or persons responsible should immediately stop these lildish tactics to get out of taking exams, to avoid going to class, or for their n enjoyment When bomb threats are called into a building, whether it be one time or 20, y cost students in many ways. Professors are forced to move class imewhcre else, which wastes valuable time, or sometimes cancel the class together. College is expensive, and every time a student is forced to miss , it costs him/her approximately $25. College students should not allow iers to spend their money so freely. Some professors have provided alternate locations so that their class can be Jd for those who are interested. Professors should continue to plan alternate ons for their classes to meet Some professors have had trouble covering material that is on their syllabi due to cancelled classes. When they are to cancel class, professors cannot go over material that is included on exams given in the class. This only hurts the students who come to class, about their grades and want to get something out of the class. It's a shame that some individuals choose to spend their free time aggra­ ding security and students. Students should try to help security find the diksters, and put a stop to these childish tactics before we lose another Suable semester. Box numbers lost in space Our new ASU Student Telephone Directories have arrived, and I for one am glad to get those coupons. These books are handy tools for getting campus information or calling up and locating professors, but they fall short when it comes to finding students. Yes, I must admit this grave fact even as I must admit that I worked for the Telephone Directory all summer. A telephone directory obviously contains telephone numbers, but most all telephone books, whether they are associated with a universities or with communities, list addresses as well. Have you noticed what's missing in our beautiful directories this year? Juniors and seniors know that student post office box numbers once graced the pages with the correct telephone numbers. This year makes the second in a row this useful campus guide has gone to press with only names and numbers in the student section. If you happen to visit a friend at one of the other fine universities in our state, take a look at their directory. The Tarhells havenumbers and both local and home addresses listed. UNC-Wilmington and UNC-Charlotte also have this helpful information. Most all of the others and many from out of state schools have no less than a local number and address, and some even provide the student's majoror hometown. Now, granted that even though one's right to privacy might become an issue here, Istill believe students and faculty alike would appreciate a means of commu­ nicating with one another that was dependable. Phone numbers change yearly and some monthly. The only way the university can keep up with roving students is to trust that they will fill in their personal data forms and return them regularly. I personally know that some students throw these away or never return them. There is one place that without a shadow of a doubt a student can be reached, assuming they check their mail­ box. All ASU students are assigned an ASU box for communicating with the university. From the time I arrived in 1986,1 have kept the same box. Most all of my friends and family from out of town contact me by using my ASU address. I have inquired at the Post Office and even attended a telephone directory board meeting at which a post office representative was present. The post office asked that box numbers be withheld because those evil corporations who love bulk mailingsbuy thelist from some business minded person who wants to make easy money. If you can remember what kind of mail you received three years ago and compare it to now, you willrealize thatwe get alot less prornoffonaTmail. By GARY LARSON Danook shows off his Swiss Army Rock. When I compared the service I receive with that of a friend in Chapel Hill, I found she not only gets her mail from the campus departments and organizations but also gets good junk mail and special mailings which are only sent out to college students like rebate offers for a firsttime car purchase. Since UNC doesn't have a post office, It was nice to get credit card offers and numerous all of this was delivered to her dorm when she first arrived invitations to join record and tape clubs. An offer from there, and now it allcomes toher house five miles from the one of those book clubs came in real handy oneChristmas. campus. Wouldn't it be ideal to get all this stuff in a timely Sometimes it was all a college student got for weeks at a order and have it be in one convenient location on cam­ time if mom and dad or that special someone preferred pus? We have one of these two components now. phone contact. However, that stuff was supposedly keeping the post office employees from getting the first class and Many will say that in this day and time it is just not safe university stuff from being put in our boxes as they to publish such information. Well, I can agree with not entered the post office. printing home or street addresses, but we are printing box Now you may be experiencing a different phenomenon numbers here. Someone is not going to come up and than I am, but I really haven't noticed that the letter mom knock on my box and have me open the door to let them said she mailed on Monday gets in my box byTuesday like in. Anyway, according to the university privacy laws, it does if she sends it to my apartment. Mail turnover—I departments are allowed to give out numbers and ad­ guess we could call it that—usually takes overnight from dresses for any registered student unless that student has my hometown to my Boone apartment address, but some­ specified that thisinformation be withheld from everybody. how it takes two to three days to arrive in my ASU box.

Anyone who wished to do so could have all involved in swears he mails our newsletteis in plenty of information withdrawn and a dot placed beside their time to inform us of the next meeting, but somehow I get name. them on that day or the day after. What is the difference With this safeguard in hand, the next item of business in the service I got when we had all those bulk mailings will be figuring out how many more people are needed in folks? I just can't find it. My ASU bills are always there the post office so that students can have their box numbers on or before the date they are supposed to be in my box. put back where they belong in the directories.

Yes, you are still allowed to get a friend's box home in the ASU Student Telephone Directory. Abortion article angers ASU females than that of Claude Smith who has almost none. , Without hesitation, I will vote for Rusher on Nov. 6. The District Attorney's office has done a fine job in the past; why would we want to change that? Rusher has proven he can do the job, and he has done the job well. To Tom Rusher: I wish him the best of luck. To the voters: the choice is yours. Caroline D. Walker Boone Research would have made article less ludicrous Townsperson speaks out for district attorney candidate Tom Rusher To the Editor: THE FAR SIDE Hope Harvey number, but you have to make sure you are at a VTX terminal somewhere on campus to do so. It is just plain inconvenient and in my eyes dysfunctional to have i student directory at home which can not provide this information. What kind of service are students receiving when the best thing they cm get out of a telephone directory is a Domino's coupon? I'm just not sure that the post office gets enough junk to warrant our box numbers being so secretive. If they can't handle the load, they need to get a new system. With the elections just right around the comer, I wanted to express my sincere support and appreciation of Tom Rusher. I have had lots of experience with Rusher, both professionally as well as in a personal manner, and I have been nothing less than impressed with his professionalism and his ability to relate to others. Last year my roommate Jeni Gray disappeared and was later found on Jakes Mountain Road. Throughout the difficult period of wondering what was happening and dealing with the emotional side of her death. Rusher was a tremendous support I was constantly kept up to date by Rusher as to what was transpiring concerning the murder trial as well as on-going investigations. He was very empathetic and throughout the proceedings remained sensitive to the feelings of the Gray family as well as my own. The work that accompanies a murder trial is lengthy, tedious and difficult. I sincerely do not feel that anyone could have done a better job of prosecuting than Rusher. He is an impressive man. I realize that one successful murder trial is not all that one should look at when contemplating who makes a good District Attorney. Maybe it's a question we should all ask ourselves. In my opinion, I would pick up someone with more experience with criminal trials To the Editor: After reading William O'Flaherty's editorial in the Sept. 25 edition of "The Appalachian," I found myself in agreement with the gist of O'Flaherty's article. Granted, most information distributed about abortion "opinion polls" is inflated, and some borders on propaganda. However, I noticed that O'Flaherty included some propaganda of his own when he stated, "abortion is presently permitted during the entire nine months of pregnancy." While some clinics will perform abortions up to nine months, most clinics' cutoff point is three-to four months. Abortionists are not cruel butchers. They are aware that after the first trimester, the pain involved in an abortion for the mother and fetus increases, along with the medical complications. O'Flaherty's statement was greatly exaggerated, and it seems that if he is concerned about misinformation regarding abortion, he should avoid misinformation in his own writing. Leatha Fields ASU Box 17632 Molly Yard's comments shock listener but open her eyes to an oversight To the Editor: Wouldn't it be wonderful if all women in the United States would work together for women's rights? What if we all became united on the abortion issue? Can you imagine how much time and energy would be saved? What about the power and influence we as women could have if we would be united! I attended the Forum Series at ASU and listened to Molly Yard's presenta­ tion on the "Politics of Gender." I made some observations and would like to share them. One reason for the division between pro-choice and pro-life groups is the question of when life begins. The prochoice advocates say the beginning of life is at conception, but from what I learned by attending the lecture is that pro-choice advocates totally avoid this issue. In fact, they don't want a woman considering an abortion to even think about what is inside. To support both the accusations, you must continue reading. After Yard's speech, she attended a reception and although she was surrounded by a group of avid follow­ ers, I squeezed my way through to ask her two questions. The first was what is the NOW's stance on when life begins. She replied the NOW organization does not take a stance on that issue but leaves it up for each woman to decide. Wow! That answer really surprised me. I just knew a group that fought so hard for the right for legalized abortions would have a determined stance on when life begins. I mean, how else could they counsel women to "go for it" unless they knew clearly in their minds and conscience that a life was not ending. That was a real eye-opener. When I got over the shock, I proceeded to ask another question "What is informed consent, and why are you against it?" I already knew that informed consent was when a doctor shows a woman considering an abortion a picture of the fetus so she can make an informed choice about abortion. Well Yard replied in a very exaggerated way that "it's when a doctor takes a fetus about two inches long and blows it up this big," as she spread her arms out as wide as she could. She continued by saying "they might as well show pictures of ones with bow ties and hair bows." After this absurd answer, I was floored. I mean she had just finished saying she felt every girl should decide about when life begins for herself, yet she felt terribly threatened by a woman looking at pictures of a developing fetus. Pro-choice activists say informed consent puts guilt on a woman. How ironic! According to an interview I had with a counselor in Psychological Service, at ASU in 1989, post-abortion guilt is the biggest struggle a woman faces after an abortion. The counselor said she talked with women who had terrible memories on each anniversary of their abortion. So if guilt is the reason Yard and other pro-choicers are against informed consent, they haven't got a case. So it seems to me after examining my observations from the speech that "open-minded" pro-choicers are not so open minded. They are fighting vehemently, yet blindly, for a cause. However, they just won't face up to one thing - a human heart beat is heard after 18 days, brain waves are detected at 40 days, all body systems are working at 11-12 weeks Sandi Northington McClanehan P.O. Box 1567 Boone O'Flaherty's stand on abortion had incorrect facts that were essential To the Editor Here we go again. Ignorance has once again reared its ugly head, this time manifesting itself in William E. O'Flaherty's editorial concerning the pro-choice position in the abortion issue, which appeared in "The Appala­ chian" Sept. 24 Editorials, while opinionated in nature, should be based on fact Therefore, O'Flaherty's apparent adversity to research and blatant disregard for facts demand retribution. His graver mistake, the one upon which he bases all his arguments, is reflected in the quote, "...the (abortion) issue is further clouded by people categorized as pro-choice because they say abortion should be permitted in some circumstances." Not only is this not the stance of pro-choice, but actually is the position of many pro-life advocates. Men and women who support prochoice believe that the decision of a woman to have an abortion is based on the belief that a woman should have control of her own body and that she should be the one to decide whether or not to bear a child. Had O'Flaherty See LETTERS page 10 �JiL 1 The Appalachian. Thirty. Qrtnher 11 1QQD Letters Continued from page 9 troubled himself to attend a pro-choice advocates' meeting, research the policies supported by the National Organization for Women, or even bother to look up the words "pro" and "choice" in the dictionary, he might not have flagrantly opened himself to ridicule. The second faux pas O'Flaherty commits lies in his claim that "the historic Roe vs. Wade decision, in fact, was argued on the basis of rape." Wrong. The Supreme Court case Roe vs. Wade was based on a woman's suit that the Texas abortion statutes were unjust and that they should no longer be enforced. In the ASU Belk Library, there is an entire section devoted to legal references. Although O'Flaherty obviously chose not to read the case, simply perusing the two-page summary in the "U.S. Supreme Court Reports" could have enlightened him on the true substance of the suit and saved him some embarrassment. Third, O'Flaherty asserts that abortion is presently permitted during the entire nine months of pregnancy for any reason." Again, simply turning to the Roe vs. Wade case could easily have straightened his misconstrued conclu­ sions. The Supreme Court decision IV L W® EMfi f i; L y | nomadsindians •saints states, "from and after the point and time when the fetus becomes viable, the stale may prohibit abortions altogether, except those necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother." Finally, O'Flaherty contends that numerous women choose to have abortions for reasons such as gender selection or birth control methods. He chastised women, saying "there must be other ways a woman can control her body to prevent pregnancy than afterthe-fact methods." that more than 90 percent of the abortions in the United States are performed during the first trimester of pregnancy, and that more than half of these pregnancies are the result of contraceptive failures. What's truly sad and frightening is that O'Flaherty probably honestly believes in what he wrote. Moreover, others might blindly grasp those same fanatic beliefs. Regardless of my personal views on the issue of abortion, I believe that people should be wellread and informed when making decisions, especially those decisions which affect an entire population^ So please rem " know who and whl ' ^ when you s ' y o » i : Molly Yard, president of NOW, presented a lecture Oct. 2 in Farthing Auditorium, during which she revealed indigo iris Chicken Mushroom Melt Regular Fry 20 oz.

House member David Diamont (D— I Co.), who also serves as the chairl of the House Appropriations Com(tee, said that the remaining $8.5 mili the university expects to receive from t assembly during January 1991' s "long session" may be put back into the overall budget to save the current deficit. "Not all that money (the university ex­ pects) may be there by the time we meet in January," Diamont said. According toDiamont, any money AS U would receive for the project wouldcome from the state's $130 million general construction fund, is one of the first funds which the legislator said could be held back or eliminated if the budget problem is not contained and somewhat solved. "I haven't heard any change in the status of the project," Zimmerman said, "but when any entity deals with a state government, there is nothing that is ab­ solutely certain." One of the major reasons for the SAC, according to ASU officials in past ad­ dresses, is to have a higher caliber of basketball teams playing in Boone. Both the ASU men's and women's teams usu­ ally have contests against teams from bigger schools away from Varsity Gym. The University of Tennessee at Chat­ tanooga, a fellow member of the Southern Conference with ASU, has the largest basketball arena of SC teams, seating a little over 11,200. The arena has been open since 1983 and has only played host to only one sellout in its history, which was in 1983 when the Moccasins lost to UNC. Student opposition to the center did not end with the closing of this calendar year's spring semester. A sculpture located on the hill end of Kidd Brewer Stadium and built by student protestors was taken down by ASU employees after it was placed in the stadium for visiting spectators to see during the football game against East Tennessee State last month. A march in the same manner as theone held last April in opposition to the SAC is also under initial planning. (See the Environmental Issues Committee article for further in­ formation.) The opposition, which last year's SGA President Brad Edwardsclaimed was"less than five percent of the student body," may actually have greater support from students.

Should ASU pass on ACC money? Three ACC games give athletics big money yet limit home games By THOMAS RIGGINS Assistant News Editor and S. RAE BEASLEY Edltor-ln-Chlef Each fall Appalachian schedules foot­ ball games against 11 different colleges and universities. And each fall,the teams meet both conference and non-conference teams onthe playing field. Matchesagainst conference opponentsbuild ASU's stand­ ing in the Southern Conference. Non-conference matches, while they do not impact the university's standing in the SC, are, nonetheless,a crucial part of the regular season. Why does Appalachian play teams such as North Carolina State, Clemson and Wake Forest? ... c..f *»*-, ^ OES THE ASU MOUNTAINEERSTAKE ON ACC POWERHOUSES?: Revenue from playing non-conferance football f. e'Ps supplement the athletic budget. ASU can make from $95,000 to $150,000 just for playing a non-conference team. c. ^'rector Roachel Laney said "ACC teams prefer playing ASU (as a non-conference team) because of the reputation ASU i w ^ W'" have a total of three ACC games this season: Wake Forest, Clemson (both already played) and North Carolina State i ^end. The football team enjoys the opportunity to play larger schools. They feel it is a great challenge. "This year is the worst possible sched­ ule a football program could have: three ACC teams, only four home games and the last four games are on the road. The schedule is very unfortunate (but) it was inherited," said Roachel Laney, interim athletic director. Although most games ASU plays are against Southern Conference teams, there are a few ACC games. According to Laney, the Mountaineers play teams such as Clemson and N.C. State in order to supplement the athletic department's bud­ get. "All money received from game guar­ antees goes into the general operating budget for the athletic department," ac­ cording to Laney. Game guarantees are monies given to the away team from the home team. For Southern Conference games, the away team is paid a set fee. "The figure is set by the SC office and is affordable for all teams of the SC. It's part of the game process," Laney said. ... Monies received from playing nonconference teams generate extra revenue for the athletic department and help curb the team's expenses, according to Laney. He explained that dollar amounts for play­ ing non-conferencegames are determined by individual athletic directors. "We shop around by sending letters to other schools to find teams to fill our schedule," Laney said. Other schools in the SC also play larger teams to help supplement their athletic budget. Laney noted that Furman Univer­ sity has already played University of Florida this season while last season they were shut out at Clemson. Fellow SC member Marshall University is scheduled to play Notre Dame in 1996. "Atlantic Coast Conference schools preferplaying ASU becauseof ourreputation," Laney said. "We invite SC teams to balance our schedule; every year we have one open date. ASU is good because it's close enough for fans to come to the games," explained Bobby Robinson.Clemson ath­ letic director. He also said the money paid to ASU is comparable to what is paid to other SC schools. : This season ASU will have three such "money games": Wake Forest, N.C. State and Clemson; the amount earned for each game ranges from $95,000-$150,000. Laney refused to comment on the exact dollar amount for theClemson game, say­ ing "I am bound by the contractual condi­ tions from disclosing the amount." According tosome of theplayers, ASU's football team plays larger schools more than just for a source of revenue. "Everybody knows we (the university's athletic department) get paid; the money doesn't mean anything. We look at it in a very positive way that helps the team play.

Dr. Harvard Ayers, an ASU anthropology professor and chairperson of the committee, said the SAC is "not a dead issue and that the people in attendance at the meeting should "educate the university community about the SAC." Ayers said there is a large number of people in opposition to the project on campus from both students and faculty. According to Ayers, the majority of fac­ ulty members on the campus do not favor the new arena (the Faculty Senate voted against current SAC plans as they are now). A march is tentively planned for Octo­ ber to show opposition to the SAC. Ayers said he hopes the march will"raise interest in the new and old students on campus" and have the same turnout as last year, which according to various media sources reached 700 marchers. The committee also plans to address ASU administration of the need for anew environmental audit. A statement currendy in planning is expected to be sent to the office of Provost Harvey Durham which calls for a year of paid leavefor two professors to study the campus and its environment. Also on the committee's agenda was planning for Global Warming Week, scheduled for the week of Oct. 22-28.

Forty-six percent of the students con­ tacted in the random phone poll of almost two percent of the student population said they were against the SAC construction, leading those in favor of the facility by three percentage points. The remaining 11 percent said they had no opinion about the center. Chet Tomlinson, one of the biology graduate students who organized the poll, said the most important factor in con­ ducting the poll, no matter what the re­ sults were, was the need to have credibil­ ity. All the polls we heard about or were given to SGA were biased, so they were instantly thrown out. Even though each of the students who helped organize this had their feelings and opinions about the is­ sue, the poll needed to be done fairly," Tomlinson said. In order to have a credible poll, the group was assisted in forming the poll by Dr. Larry Kitchens of the statistics de­ partment. Tomlinson said he hopes the administration and SGA will take this new poll into account since it received faculty backing. Students were also asked in the phone poll what they considered the most im­ portant building needs on campus. Top­ ping the list of needs, according to the students polled, is new student housing, an addition to the present library and more classroom space, especially a new math and sciences building. ft"• Cixnci Do you like to write? draw? cartoon? take photos?

O'Flaherty is an jjdugie student. Do you ever wonder who sits behind thechair in the "Oval Office" at ASU? Who makes the impor­ tant decisions concerning the Appalachian com­ munity? Dr. John Thomas, our chancellor, is the man who holds all the answers. According to Thomas, this academic year will be a very challenging one. "This will be our year to achieve high quality programs given restraints to resources. This will take a good bit of our time," Thomas said. ASU has several goals for the 1990-91 academic year which include: the internationalizing of cur­ riculum, the expansion of the ASU Foundation program, continuing support for recycling and the completion of several buildings on campus. Thomas said he would like to see the interna­ tional curriculum established at ASU continue to grow and he would like to see more students and faculty take part in this program, and he would like to see the China and Costa Rica programs continue to develop. "The ASU Foundation is in the process of laying plans for campaigning for ASU. They plan to seek funds from the private sector to supplement/ complement the state monies," Thomas said. One building is under construction on the ASU campus and the plans for several more are under­ way. The Student Activity Center, after some de­ lay, is also in progress, and plans for a bell tower near the Ned R. Trivette dining facility have been discussed. This dining facility should be com­ pleted and ready to serve students in the fall of 1991. Chancellor Thomas is very optimistic about the activity of the Senior Committee which is composed of about 30 seniors. "This organization has great potential for enhancing the university," Thomas said. What is the worst thing about Appalachian? "The never ending strugglefor resources topresent excellent academic programs. It is a constant chal­ lenge to update things such as the library,"Thomas said. However, the best thing about the university, in Thomas' eyes, is the commitment of the faculty and staff to excellence. "The faculty practice their craft well. A staff devoted to supporting (programs at ASU)—that's what makes the university great. The bad things pale in comparison." Thomas gave three pieces of advice to college students. "Use wisely the freedoms that are inherent in college life as opposed to high school,"Thomas said. With these freedoms, college students today have great responsibilities, he noted. The second piece of advice? Schedule your time wisely. "Establish a lifestyle where you can rest, study and you can take care of your health. This is very important," Thom; s said. "Enter academic programs with an open mind and take advantage of your resources. This will be the one time in your life that you will be dedicated to absorbing knowledge," Thomas said for his third point. Thomas continued,"We hear so much about the need to improve education. We look critically at it. I consider this a plus...This is healthy. If we are going to succeed and grow as anation, wemustpay attention to education at all levels." Thomas was born in Fort Worth, Texas on April 23, 1931. He has four children, one who attends ASU. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Kansas and is a registered professional engineer. He has the juris doctor degree in law from the University of Mis­ souri at Kansas City and is a member of the Georgia Bar Association and the Federal Bar As­ sociation. His master's degree is in research and development management, and his doctorate is in business administration. Both of the latter degrees were earned at Florida State University. Thomas served as vice chancellor for academic affairs at ASU from 1974-79. Prior to that, he was the dean of thecolleges of sciences and technology at East Texas State University. Chancellor John Thomas Disabilities do not hinder students in academics Such impairments as dyslexia, paraplegia and visual aberrance affect 150 determined ASU students By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer When the words, "handicapped" or "disabled" are heard, they usually provoke sympathy. This is an untouchable subject for some people. But handicapped people don't want sympathy—only prayers. They are achieving their dreams and goals out in the world and here at Appalachian. There are 150 disabled students on campus. Each disabled student has been accepted into this university by meeting the college's regular re­ quirements. Arlene Lundquist is in charge of these students here on campus as the coordinator of the Learning Disability Program and Disabled Student Services. She and her staff make sure the classes and assistance provided are appropriate for each student's condition. There are different accomodations for each handicap the students may have. With mobilityimpaired students confined to wheelchairs or on crutches, accessibility to their classes is the most important factor. Their classes must be easy to get to on campus and must be on the first floor. How­ ever, the sensory impaired students having problems with sight, hearing, reading, or writing overcome their classroom difficulties by having tape record­ ers, using the learning assistance program, and having their tests read to them. David Dawson is a graduate student who is majoring in rehabilitation psychology. He is dys­ lexic anddysographic. Dys­ lexia is a reading impair­ ment while dysographia is a writing impairment. He did poorly in two other univer­ sities until he was tested for his problems here. ASU is the only NorthCarolina university that gives free test­ ing for learning disabilities. Learning disabilities are neurological conditions usually caused by brain damage at birth. Dawson says, "I use a tape recorder, and teachers always give me extra time on tests if I need it. Since I've been a gradu­ ate student I haven't needed proofreading, but there's someone always there to help me if I'm having prob­ lems with something. Teachers are understanding about my spelling and grammar, and they realize that as long as I have the content and the knowl edge, I will overcome." Junior Lorie Singleton has been almost com­ pletely blind since birth. She uses a device called a visual tech which en­ ables her to see things that are enlarged. Singleton hopes to ma­ jor in special education so she can help retarded children, and her aca­ demic concentration is history. ASU is Singleton's second college, "I like the people here better," she says smiling,"they let me be independent and do things on my own." Singleton men­ tioned some of the dis- -David Dawson appointments of her U Teachers are understanding about my spelling and grammar, and they realize that as long as I have the content and the knowledge, I will overcome. Graduate Student condilion:"1 couldn't get mydriver's license, and I'd rather read on my own without hav­ ing to be read every­ thing." Rachel Larson, a sophomore, is paraple­ gic and moves around on crutches instead of a wheelchair. "I'd feel really handicapped if I was in 99 a wheelchair," says Larson. "Even though it's harder to get around, I use my crutches." At three years old, she had complications during open heart surgery and lost the use of her legs. She loves to swim and keep her upper body in good shape. Larson feels that, 'Teachers really aren't aware of what to do or how to help me. I don't like to be patronized because I want to do things on my own. Some students stare at me, but most of the students are helpful and open doors for me and stuff." There is a federal law that states that teachers and advisors must make the right accomadations for each disabled student. Each of these students feel that teachers are great helping out with their condi­ tion. Larson says thoughtfully,"God hashelped me to accomplish everything. He helps me to try in subtle ways, and he's always there for me." October is Disabled Month, and on Sept 27 the Student Council for Exceptional Children spon­ sored a program in the student union. These three handicapped students and all handicapped people are survivors because they overcome so many obstacles that continue to make them stronger. It's ironic that each of these students wants to spend their lives helping other handicappedpeople achieve their goals. Larson says, "Other handicapped people have accomplished their dreams. I want to show others that they can do that also." Committee decides on a class gift By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer Since its beginning last year, the ASU Senior Committee has become an organization that pro­ vides information concerning seniors and plans activities for them as well. According to Patrick Henderson, the committee's advisor, the purpose of the committee is to "create class unity, allow students to help in planning a speaker for the December graduation ceremony, to publish a newsletter containing important information, and to solicit ideas to sponsor a class gift for the school." However, according to Henderson, their long term goal is to "have a positive effect on the ASU campus by building a foundation to bring a class closer. We are finding students that will continue to support the university after their graduation." He added,"When you graduate, we want you to be able to remember your class."

Douglas tried a keeper again but was stopped after a three-yard gain, turning the ball over to ASU on their own 47-yard line with 4:53 to play.

The Bulldogs outgained the Moun­ taineers 311-188 in total offense and 264166 on the ground, but the App defense came up with the big plays when they had to. "We had in our mind the 'bend, but don't break' attitude," Mack said. "They (The Citadel) were forced to break the things they are comfortable in doing," Moore said. "We stopped a better team today than beat us a year ago." In addition to Mack and Hall, the ASU defense was led by linebackers Dwayne Pelham and Johnny Jennings, who had 13 and 12 tackles respectively. Moore espe­ cially praised Pelham, who was playing with an injured hamstring. "Dwayne Pelham did what needs to be done," Moore said. "He was playing hurt. There was a look in his eyes I've never seen before." Offensively, the Mountaineers got 44 yards on eight carries from A1 Ellis, to complement the strong performance of Reaves. "A1 Ellis is a good runner,"Moore said. "We're going to gradually get him more involved in our offense." The Bulldogs were led by the running of Sands and Douglas. Sands rushed 19 times for 134 yards, while Douglas gained 59 yards on 17 carries. "Our offense continued to sputter," Taaffe said. "Our defense hung in there and did a good job, but we weren't good enough to win the game." - Appalachian Photo by Keitfi Jackson SEARCHING FOR RUNNING ROOM: Sophomore back A1 Ellis (32) looks for running room in Saturday's clash with The Citadel.

ASU next defeated the Georgia Tech Lady Yellow Jackets in four games: 1215, 15-8, 15-10 and 15-8. It was ASU's first win of the year against an ACC oppo­ nent, having lost to Duke and Clemson earlier in the season. 'Tech wasn't as strong as I expected them to be," McGee said. "They were good on defense, but had a tendency to sit back and not go after the ball." On Saturday, the Lady Apps fell to a Teresa Bream led Liberty squad in four games: 15-11,15-11,14-16 and 15-5. McGee was impressed with the play of Bream. "She (Bream) was a very good volley­ ball player," McGee said. "She hurt us all around." ASU finished the tournament by whipping CoastalCarolina in three straight games: 15-4, 15-4 and 15-9. "It was a good match to end the tourna­ ment with," McGee said. "We were able to put in all of our subs and let them get experience." The win over UNCC was especially gratifyng for McGee and the Lady Apps. "They're a big rival of ours," McGee said. "There was a lot of motivation for us to play well in that game." Tammy Craig, Kim Nelson, Joanne Myers and Sabrina Hill were the standouts for the Lady Mountaineers in the tourna­ ment, with Craig being named to the alltournament team.

AppalihUn Staff Writer The ASU soicer team maintained tight defense and disilayed skilled ball handling en route to a M upset of the nationally tanked Davidon Wildcat squad Friday n'ght at KiddBrewer Stadium. Before Friiay night's match, Davidson was ranked 20th in the nation by the fntercollegiite Soccer Association of America. After starting off the 1990 sea­ son 2-4-1 including Two defeats to nation­ ally ranked teams, the Mountaineers were gunning for the upset in only their second home contest of the year. ASU struck first blood with 14:33 left to play in the first half as ASU's Darnel Crichlow scored on an assist from Andy Salandy. The Apps dodged a bullet two minutes later when Wildcat Rob Ukrob broke free downfield and was one-on-one with the Mountaineer goalkeeper. However, Ukrob's shot on goal was wide left, sail­ ing harmlessly out of bounds. With under one minute left to play in the first half ASU's John Cerak scored on an assist from Rudy Schmoll. The first half ended with the Mountaineers holding a 2-0 advantage. The second half saw both teams play­ ing steady and tight defense throughout. It was not until 9:03 left to play that Davidson's Cobb scored an unassissted goal to bring the Wildcats to within one of the Mountaineers. Three minutes later with 6:12 left to play in the match, ASU scored an insur­ ance goal when Jim Betts booted in the goal on an assist by Andy Salandy. The rest of the contest was marked by excellent ball handling for ASU and costly misfires for Davidson. Time ran out on any attempted comeback hopes for the Wildcats as the Mountaineers wrapped up ' the 3-1 victory. When asked to assess the value of his team's victory, ASU Head Coach Art Rex said, "I think it's more than a mild upset. It's a top 20 team coming in here, and I think anytime you can beat a top twenty team you're going to be in an upset situ­ ation." Rex pointed to the Apps' difficult, early season schedule as a key in Friday night's victory. "We played South Carolina tight when they were number five (in the nation) and Wake when they were number six, so we knew we could do it. It was just a matter of getting things together and get­ ting the work ethic back." Looking toward the Mountaineers' future contests Rex said, "It (the victory) will help, without a doubt. The guys will believe in themselves a little bit more, and I think they will work a little harder, and believe in everything we're trying to do here."

ASU football can bring big money Although playing the"big name" football teams brings in large amounts money to the university, ASU should consider the hazards this is costing r program. )/} Already this year the Mountaineers have played Wake Forest and Amson, and will face N.C. State this weekend. In the 1990 football season, IU has only four home games scheduled; students are forced to travel to ferent schools if they want to see their team play. Have you actually graduated?I? As winter descends on Boone once again, everyone looks forward to those activities associated with the colder months: homecoming, Halloween, Thanksgiving and for a number of hopeful seniors-graduation. Yes, December no longer belongs exclusively to Santa Claus and mistletoe because now a select group of ASU seniors' visions of sugarplums have turned to visions of diplomas and proud relatives bearing gifts. On Dec. 9, only two months and seven days away (but who's counting?), Appalachian will have its second December commencement ceremony. A graduation ceremony in December is basically an excellent idea. In the past, those who finished their re­ quirements at the end of fall semester were simply mailed a diploma and could participate in the commencement ceremony in May, more than five months later, if they wished. By this time, I would imagine, the thrill is gone. The ceremony in December provides you with your well deserved pomp and circumstance. But, as with most good things, there are a few drawbacks and maybe a myth or two that should be dispelled. You may notice if you check out your handy Appala­ chian Events calendar that commencement takes place Sunday, Dec. 9, yet the last day of classes is not until Dec. 11. So how, you ask, can you graduate before you've even completed your classes, not to mention exams? Elemen­ tary, you don't really graduate—not officially anyway. Once you have taken your exams and passed the re­ quired number of hours, your diploma is mailed to your home. The ceremony, therefore, is simply for show. This may pose a rather interesting dilemma. Picture this: Sally Senior anxiously awaits her pending graduation. Her classes are going well and her future looks bright. In September, Sally orders graduation announcements. In October, she gets her cap and gown and receives word that Kimberly Mathews Student morale has not dimished while our team is playing big name l»ls.

Gantt will support work to find a cure instead of playing on fear and ig­ norance and letting more people die. Gantt comes under fire for refusing to rule out a tax increase. But Gantt wants to reduce the high school dropoutrate and improve North Carolina's pitiful SAT scores. Gantt sees that more federal funds for our schools would help. Gantt is also attacked for calling for a minimum amount of government regu­ lation. The Republicans claim all govern­ ment regulation "enslaves" the American people. I would like to point out American taxpayers are now being forced to pay hundreds of billions of dollars as a result of the financial disasters of the savings and loan industry and the department of housing and urban development Both of these debacles were made possible by the deregulation of the 1980s that Helmssupported. It is certainly ironic that a man who made his reputation by complaining about government waste sat up in Washington right in the middle of the biggest rip off of the American taxpayer in history and did nothing. A small amount of regulation would have prevented this. The environment is another impor­ tant issue Helms is out of sync on. He has consistently received low environmental ratings from environmental groups across the country. In fact, one group recently gave him an "award" for having the worst environmental record of all 535 members in both houses of congress. Helms was the only member of the U.S. Senate to vote against the Clean Air Act, a bill that has broad bipartisan sup­ port from virtually all members of both houses of Congress and got thepresident's seal of approval. It must be said that Helms is a man who will cling desperately to his values. But his values are out-of-date. At a time when the rest of the world is looking toward the future, Helms refuses to let go of the past. Gantt is the only candidate who has the desire to lead North Carolina forward and to concentrate on the important issues facing ourstate and this greatnation. Gantt will alsostand firm for hisconvictions and more importantly, he will stand strong for North Carolina. He will be a senator that our state can not only respect but also be proud of. Gantt has no other agenda than to see the people of North Carolina get the best that they deserve. If you believe in that, vote for Harvey Gantt.

There is good news concerning your job search. First, ignore any myths you may have heard about the job market being either better or worse in December than it is in May. Dr. Ball, director of the Career Planning and Placement Cen­ ter, has reassured me that there is no difference in job opportunities at either time. Differences, he explained, lie in your economic and geographic preference and your area of study. So rest assured, we are at no disadvantage. Second, I want to remind you that graduation directly precedes Christmas, which provides an excellent excuse to postpone the dreaded search for meaningful employ­ ment Wouldn't finding a job be an admirable New Year's resolution? One last reminder, graduates, December often brings a condition incompatible with travel...snow.The thoughtof participating in a commencement ceremony purely for the thrill of the event may be extremely disheartening if your family and friends are unable to share the moment with you because of inclement weather. Perhaps, just to be on the safe side, you should begin pricing snow-mobile rentals. Obviously there are one or two drawbacks to graduat­ ing in December. But, it seems to me that just about anything you do in life of any importance has some risk involved. In this case, the rewards far outweigh the risks. her entire family is coming all the way from Sacramento for her graduation. The ceremony goes off without a hitch and all is well until Sally leams she did not pass her water ballet class. Herein lies a distressing mental and social problem for Sally. How does she explain to her family that she didn't actually graduate? Should sheretumher graduation gifts? This may be an etiquette problem worthy of Miss Manners. Although exaggerated somewhat, this scenario could really happen. Just the mere thought of failing a class and thus not graduating can be extremely stressful. Speaking of stressful, what about the post-graduation job search? I realize the whole idea behind college is to prepare one for a career in the real world, but somehow as a freshman and even as a sophomore, this seemed a vague and distant prospect. By junior year, the reality of my impending venture from the cozy security of college life became somewhat clearer—but not clear enough to cause any undue stress.

By RONNY RICHARDSON M Playing Division 1-A teams can have ill effects on some players. Our m has been fortunate so far as none of our football players have received iries during an ACC game. If our players are put at risk by playing these —ms and suffer injury, then they are not capable of playing their own *iference teams. They can't win the Southern Conference title or play in the ision I-AA playoffs if they are all incapable of playing due to injuries. Suddenly, my once simple life is cluttered with com­ plex resume techniques, interview strategies and ques­ tions like "How do you hope to contribute to society?" This question is a fine one to ponder when what to watch on T.V. is a habitual debate. The massive U.S. military deployment in the Persian Gulf including the sending of many thousands of U.S. troops to Saudi Arabia is ill-advised and contrary to the interests of the great majority of people in the United States and in the world. The troops should immediately be withdrawn to the United States. The U.S. government has offered sev­ eral rationalizations for its belligerent policy, all of them seriously flawed. U.S. allegation: the United States is dependent on pulf oil, and without a se­ cure source there will be a supply crisis leading to industrial shortages and lines at the gas pumps. Moreover, the annexation of Kuwait will also lead to higher energy prices which will in turn cause a recession in the United States. Facts: U.S. dependency on Persian Gulf oil is not as extensive as we have been led to believe. In fact, barely 10 percent of U.S. oil supplies come from the Gulf states: 1.1 percent from Kuwait, 2.6 percent from Iraq and 7.1 percent from Saudi Arabia. Another 11.6 percent of U.S. oil supplies come from non-Arab OPEC countries; 22.4 come from nonArab, non-OPEC countries; and the re­ mainder (over half) from domestic sources. Thus, fears of "supply shock" are not well-grounded; no one need fear running out of gas anytime soon. The United States would be able to buy oil on the international market to meet its needs even if it does not have political control over Middle Eastern oil producing areas. The instabilities in the Gulf are causing higher oil prices (at least temporarily). Such higher prices do increase the likeli­ hood of a serious economic recession, but the major weaknesses of the U.S. economy—the S&L crisis, commercial bank failures, the budget and trade defi­ cits, slow productivity growth, loss of U.S. shares in global markets—have nothing to do with oil prices. In any case, higher oil prices are not worth a major war which will cost many times more than higher oil prices ever would, both in dol­ lars and lives. U.S. allegation: Iraq is subjecting the Kuwaiti population to occupation by a hostile, oppressive force, and the United States (perhaps under United Nations aus­ pices) should liberate it. Facts: while the Iraqi invasion was no humanitarian gesture,it should be remem­ bered that the Sheikdom of Kuwait was a virtual medieval monarchy where politi­ cal rights were Jimited to an all-male ar­ istocracy of 60,000 out of a total popula­ tion of over 2 million. Even such basic social amenities as public education were provided only to ethnic Kuwaitis, barely 40 percent of the population. The major­ ity of the residents of Kuwait, immigrant workers (chiefly from Iran, Palestine, Pakistan and the Phillipines) and their families, will be no worse off under Iraqi rule than they were under the Emir of Kuwait. A restoration of the monarchy by the United States or anyoneelse would not "liberate" or otherwise benefit them in the least. As for respecting the sovereignty of nations, the United States is in a particu­ larly poor position to pontificate about this so soon after having itself invaded Panama to install a government there through force of arms. U.S. allegation: the United States must hold on to its political control of the Gulf in order to guarantee supplies of oil to its allies in Japan and Europe. Facts: the Europeans and Japanese themselves do not buy this. They know that the Soviet Union, for instance, has abundant oil which it iseager to develop in tandem with them, and that in any event, they can buy oil from whatever regimes are in power in the Gulf states. The U.S.corporate interests desire U.S. control of Gulf oil not so much to guaran­ tee an adequate supply of oil for U.S. consumption but as a way of maintaining political leverage on other oil-importing nations, especially Japan and Germany. This kind of political leverage comes at the direct expense of ordinary citizens (and soldiers) in the United States itself as well as in other nations, and provides them no benefits; the benefits of this policy accrue only to corporate interests. Conclusion: the U.S. policies in the Middle East in fact further the interest of the rich and powerful capitalists, not the interest of the majority of the American (or other) people. Therefore we demand an immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from the Middle East. In the coming days, we are likely to be faced with a barrage of anti-Arab racism, caricaturing the physical features, dress and customs of Arabs. This kind of propa­ ganda is designed to win popular support for waging war against people from an­ other culture or ethnic group. Such racist outpourings were a characteristic feature of earlier U.S. wars against the Filipinos, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the Panamanians. We should all be­ ware of falling into racist stereotyped thinking in the coming period of time, and actively oppose such racism in word and deed. Moreover, the U.S. soldiers who will die for the profits of the corporate elite consist disproportionately of black youth (some sources estimate that 65 percent of the combat troopsdeployed in Saudi Arabia are black) because racism in U.S. society has driven large numbers of minority youth into the military as the only alternative to unemployment. Thereforethe fight against the U.S. intervention in the Middle East and the struggle against racism at home and abroad go hand in hand. Finally, the demand for the withdrawal of U.S. military forces in the Middle East is not an endorsement of Saddam Hussein and his own imperialist schemes. But the involvement of the U.S. military in the region will not improve things because its role is to serve the interests of the major financial interests in the United States, not to liberate, not to achieve democratic re­ form, and not to improve the well-being of non-elite people in the Middle East.

The two initial :gree tracks are in studio art and graphic ign. Fine Arts brings to ASU a "true and recognized art degree" of Midgett also said the degree was started to "establish a standard level for all stu­ dents and to remain competitive witho ther universities in the state." Admittance into the B.F.A. program, according to Midgett, requires two port­ folio reviews. Beginning this fall, incom­ ing freshmen and transfer students are allowed to submit a slide portfolio in order to be admitted into the degree's foundation courses. Midgett said the next portfolio review would take place during or after a student's fourth semester into the foundations courses. Those students whose portfolios are accepted will then be admitted into the B.F.A. program. Midgett said the review process will help maintain the "high quality and pro­ fessional standards of the art classes" and are also aimed at motivating art students to work harder while they are given valuable studio experience. Academic requirements for the B.F.A., according to Midgett, consist of 36semes­ ter hours of general education and 78 semester hours of major studio courses. The B.F.A. program calls for five to seven more semester hours of classes than the bachelor of science degree.(The example used is the graphic design concentration.) The bachelor of arts degree, according to the present catalog, requires only 65 se­ mester hours of art or art-related classes. Midgett further stated that the intent of the B.F.A. in studio art is to focus on the development of studio expertise and to give the student an understanding of stu­ spokesman 1 post search Students "aren't getting both sides of issue" By SUSAN GREENE Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Staff Reports Four candidates are presently in the ice for the new assistant vice chancellor |r development and public affairs posirn.

Green spoke to the SGA senate Tuesday night about the problems the state needs to face, with education receiving the highest priority. The Democrat said it is a crime that American high school graduates rank behind graduates from other nations. The SGA Senate met Thursday night to discuss new issues and listen to guest speakers Dan Green, democraticcandidate for the 10th Congressional District, and Bill Goldston, a(D-RockinghamCo.)state senator for the 24th district. Green stated that the main issue he is concerned about is education, which he feels is a "national crisis." Green said: "We are having a terrible problem with our high school graduates not being as educated and well equipped as high school graduates from Japan and Western Europe. It's a crime for our high school graduates to be behind graduates from many other nations." Green commented that there are many problems in North Carolina publ ic schools that need national direction. Green stated that North Carolina has alarge percentage of working mothers with pre-school age children and said hewould like to propose federal tax incentives to businesses to provide on-site day care. Green stressed the importance of edu­ cation andsaid he feels thatno high school graduate who has achieved scholastic excellence should be denied a college education. He also proposed a national testing program that would give on accu­ rate measurement of the success of the school systems in the U.S. Green said he would like to expand the school breakfast and lunch program and would like to see math and science strengthened. Green also said that he is concerned about theissues of the environment and of abortion, stating he is "pro-choice." Sen. Goldston addressed budget cut­ backs and tuition increases, asking stu­ dents to remember that "the government can give you back no more than it takes away from you..That's arule people seem to forget." He called ASU a "very wellrun institution" and asked that students remember that Appalachian still had the lowest in-state tuition of any state-sup­ ported university in15 south eastern states. He commented, "the General Assembly is sorry that your tuition had to go up this time." Goldston said the reason for this increase was "we got carried away with the growth in the state in the early 1980's and "started promising more than wecould give." Goldston said education did not really get a cut this year. "You just didn't get all that you asked for...The press picks up one side and they don't tell you the whole story," __ Goldston stated he is in favor of a plan that would involve testing elementary school students at the beginning and end of each school year to see how much they had learned. He said this would show how See BUDGET page 4 Various campus parties threaten security (CPS)-The school year hasopened with a seemingly unusual number of mass ar­ rests at campuses nationwide. A number of private student parties, a mainstay of the season as collegians re­ turn to campus, haveeroded intoconfron­ tations, sometimes violent, with police. Big parties, sometimes spilling out­ doors from apartments and fraternity houses, have ended in clashes at Bowling Green State University in Ohio and at the universities of Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri-Columbia and Southwestern Louisiana, among other campuses, in re­ cent weeks. Observers cite relatively new drinking age limit laws and a new campus willing­ ness to crack down on student drinking for the increased number of confrontations. Students say their social lives are being pushed out of bars and sponsored campus functions and into unsupervised private parties. "There's the broadening propensity for people to go to private residences, where they party hard, long and noisily," Kevin Scully, police chief in Burlington, Vt., said. "The bars aren't as crowded as they used to be a couple of years ago," Marty Freeman, head of Vermont's student as­ sociation, said, "and every year residen­ tial life policies get stricter. The general feeling you get is that they're moving toward a dry campus." Now many schools are trying to break up, or at least regulate private student parties. Many collegians think their "un­ spoken rights as college students are be- Loan defaults linked to trade schools (CPS)-To get a prospective student to enroll, tradeschoolownerTommy Wayne Downs said he once accompanied the student to a pawn shopto get the money he needed for a tuition down payment. Then, as Downsadmitted to the Senate's Permanent Subcommittee on Investiga­ tions Sept. 12, he helped the student get a federally guaranteed college loan, and reimbursed himselffor the student's down payment. From the rest of the loan check, he took the remainder of what was owed for tuition to his school. The testimony was part of the Senate's look into how trade schools—typically private businesses that offer two-year courses in trades ranging from paperhanging to automotive mechanics to sec­ retarial skills—may have helped push the federal student loan program default rate up to crisis proportions. Only 22 percent of the college loans made nationwide went to trade school students, but trade school loans make up 44 percent of the loans that are in default, U.S. Dept. of Education figures indicate. Critics have said it is because trade schools are too loosely regulated, and that, as a result, some unscrupulous ones really do not deliver the education they advertise. "Far too many of these bad schools continue to be licensed, accredited and certified for federal funds," subcommit­ tee Chairman Sam Nunn (D. Ga.) said in a statement. "Once the businessmen get a student to enroll, they help the student get a federal loan. The student then uses theloan money to pay the school. The student, of course, must then repay the loan to the bank. If the student fails to repay the bank, the federal government, which guaranteed the loan, ultimately pays the bank. According to the subcommittee, some students either can't get appropriate jobs after finishing the courses or can't repay the debt to the government for other rea­ sons. Since 1985, the amount of money in default has nearly doubled to $2 billion a year, according to the Department of Education. The $2 billion that goes to repay banks could instead be lent to students at repu­ table trade schools, as well as at more traditional non-profit four-year and twoyear campuses. ing violated,"Felix Savino said. Savino is head of the drug and alcohol program at the University of Wisconsin, where Madison police have been busy breaking up large private parties this fall. At the same time, there's "an increased recognition of the devastating effects of alcohol," Dave Storm, president of the International Associationof Campus Law Enforcement Administrators, said. Moves to break up parties ended in tragedy at the University of Arizona, where a campus security police officer was killed at a fraternity party on Aug. 24, during what is usually the biggest party weekend of the semester. Apparently, some women students ar­ rived at the party with two uninvited male guests. They were asked to leave, words were exchanged, and one of them re­ turned with a gun. Corporal Kevin Barleycorn was shot and killed as he and another officer tried to wrest the gun away. The killing has led to an invitation-only rule at fraternity parties. One day later, on Aug. 25, University of New Mexico campus police, trying to control a Lambda Chi Alpha street party, arrested 14 students. In the process, police barricaded the streets of the school's fraternity row, brought in a canine unit and then turned the episode into a racial issue by trying to round up students at Alpha Phi Alpha, the only predominantly black fraternity in the area. "When they got there, the action they took was against us," Shihunwa Crum, head of the Black Student Union, com­ plained. While UNM officials investigate the incident. Campus Police Chief Berry Cox has been put on paid leave, and students got stiff new rules to govern greek parties. Elsewhere, police arrested more than 100 people at a block party near Bowling Green in Ohio Sept. 7. Many students say the Bowling Green police were overzealous, and the city council is evalu­ ating the situation. And at Missouri, an annual fraternitysorority gathering went haywire Aug. 24. A 17-year-old youth was seriously in­ jured when he accidentally touched highvoltage wires on a utility pole. Emergency personnel trying to reach him were pelted by beer bottles from the crowd, which numbered between 5,000 and 10,000. "I've noticed the tendency in the past few years on the part of students that it's not a question of going out drinking, but of going out to get smashed," IACLEA's Storm, head of security at Penn State, said. To try to keep students out of "uncon­ trolled places," Burlington police in early September warned returning students they would enforce the city's noise ordinance, which forbids loud parties after 11 p.m., and make a point of looking for underage drinkers. Moreover, they said they would immediately issue citations, not warn­ ings, to students they collared. On the busy Labor Day weekend, po­ lice issued 16 citations. Scully himself knows students won't stop having parties. "I don't think things will calm down, but people are acting more civilized." �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Steel drums have that island sound free their one campus concert of the heard in the background of Jimmy Buffett By WILLIAM H. PURCELL Appalachian Staff Writer songs such as "Margaritaville" and The Beach Boys "Kokomo." They originated in Trinidad, an island about 90 miles off the coast of Venezuela, and are made of steel paint or orange juice drums. The drums are cut off to various lengths with the shorter drums having a higher pitch and the long ones a lower pitch. They are burned over a fire, cleaned with acid and hand tuned by denting the head until the desired pitch is found. It often takes up to 30 hours of hard labor to make one drum. Steely Pan formed in 1984 when Dr. Scott Meister approached the administra­ tion about a new percussion ensemble very ethnic in origin and open to any student. The cost to buy drums to start the class stood at $10,000. The funds were not met so Dr. Meister started to build the drums on his own. With the aid of some soccer players from Trinidad the drums were built. f hoto Courtesy of Ron Saik ANGE JUICE DRUMS?:The S teely Pan Steel Band takes a break from its touring schedule to perform its one campus concert re year. The band plays on modified steel orange juice or paint drums. So catch them Friday at 8 p.m. in the Broyhill Music Iding. Fifteen studentscurrently form the band with the majority of them being percus­ sion majors.The band is a semester credit class that is open to any student. Each student not only has the task of learning and performing the music but also of writing. Each member has to write or arrange one piece for the band. This is a student-focused band; they make their own drums, write their own music, fund their own trips and of course, they per­ form it all. Music selections the band plays vary from classical to country/western to Ap­ palachian Fiddle to rock to calypso to almost anything and everything."We like to do things that involve the audience as much as possible. We want them to have a good time, to be entertained. I think that is different than what any other musical group really does. They are there to per­ form, to show the audience how well they play. We try to entertain the audience," Meister said. The Steely Pan Steel Band has toured throughout the South at public schools, universities and Charlotte's Spring Fest, and has recently returned from a tour of South Carolina which was funded by the S.C. Department of Education. In 1987/ 88 the Steel Band performed at both the North Carolina andSouth Carolina Music Educators Conference. For the past three years they have performed at the Univer­ sity of South Carolina as part of their Artist Lecture Series. Recently the band was invited to do a tour of Greece. Lack of funds caused the band to turn down the offer. The Steel Band has enjoyed a tremen­ dous success even through most people on campus have never heard of the band. "We were approached by WSOC in Charlotte to play at Spring Fest. That is 150,000 people we played for;that is what makes this exciting," Meister said. "No other campus music group gets that much exposure. Over the past five years we have played to over 500,000 people. You just don't realize it because we do it offcampus;you are only famousoff-campus, never on," Meister said. Meister is in his 17th 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. The location for Friday's performance was chosen so the audience may see close up how the pans are played and become more involved with the performance. Historically, steel band music is performed outside during festive occasions. Hope­ fully the informal atmosphere of the re­ hearsal room will give the Steely Pan Steel band concert a more festive atmo­ sphere. So put on your loudest shirt and white pants and prepare to have fun with the band Friday night. The concert starts at 8 p.m., but get there early to get a seat and enjoy the Steely Pan Steel Band, which has thrilled thousands throughout the area.

Reggie, 22, has been playing guitar since he was 6-yearsold and currently plays with the ASU Jazz Band and also plays acousticguitar with the band S tricdy 5? When inter­ viewed, the band members named musicians ranging from country, bluegrass, rock, jazz and blues who have influenced them. This diverse taste in music is reflected in their playing. Black Market's jazz influence is evident from their name which was taken from the name of a Weather Report al­ bum. The twin trapsets are reminiscent of bands like .38 Special and Santanna. Black Market was joined on stage by backup singers Kelly Ponder,22, and Dina Russell, 22. Russell has performed at Six Flags Over Georgia and is currently studying business and dance at ASU. All six of the band's members are tal­ ented individuals who work well together and enjoy performing. In fact, you can catch Greg, Reggie, Kelly and Dina per­ forming daily at Tweetsie Railroad. Plans for Black Market include making a demo tape and polishing up several original tunes for performance. If you missed them Monday, go hear them play at Solicitos Nov. 16. They will also per­ form at Plum Crazy's in Charlotte some­ time in October. Black Market is managed and produced by Cry Wolf Productions.

Activist Molly Yard speakes at ASU By SALLY KUHL Appalachian Diversions Editor Molly Yard, activist for social justice and president of the National Organiza­ tion for Women, will address the"Politics of Gender" on Oct 2. This presentation is part two of ASU's year long lecture series about "The Politics of American Life." Yard, elected president of NOW in 1987, leads more than 200,000 men and women in high profile mass demonstra­ tions and marches, litigationandlobbying to end prejudiceand discrimination against women in every field of importance in American society. The third daughter of three children bom to a Methodist missionary couple in China, Yard likes to proclaim she was bom a feminist. Her father, James Yard, instilled in her a belief in social activism steming from the Judeo-Christian ethic. Her family returned to the United States when she was 13. Yard showedsigns of a budding activist in college when she campaigned for the acceptance of Jews into campus fraterni­ ties and sororities. At Swarthmore Col­ lege in Pennsylvania, she majored in po­ litical science and was described in her yearbook as an authentic agitator. Since her days in college, Yard has accumulated over 50 years of leadership as a feminist, and as a civil rights, trade union and political activist.

Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for non-students. 1S will • Halftime events, information fairs and a variety show are only some of the fes­ tivities planned for Family Weekend, which begins tomorrow. An information fair featuring repre­ sentatives from the campus colleges will be in Founders Hall Friday at 2 p.m. So stop by and learn more about the depart­ ments on campus. A $5.95 buffet dinner in the Welborn Hall Cafeteria at 5:30 p.m. will follow the fair with a question and answer session. Everyone is encouraged to attend. The information fair will continue Saturday while resident halls host open house. At 1:30 p.m. the Mountaineers will take on The Citadel in Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium. Pregame box luncheons will be available for $3. During halftime, the ASU Marching Mountaineers will perform music from "West Side Story." Also during halftime, Denny Dent and his two-fisted art attack will paint an 8foot canvas armed with six paintbrushes. Dent can create a perfect likeness of rock'n'roll singers in the time it takes to play one of their songs. ASU has four of Dent's masterpieces. Two are in the Pub: Bruce Springsteen and Albert Einstein. The other two of U2 and Jimi Hendrix are in Legends. "Denny Dent has so much energy," Jean Roberts, advisorto A.P.P.S., said. "He is fun to watch." Dent painted his first masterpiece at a vigil to remember thedeath of John Lennon in 1981. "The London Free Press" quoted Dent, "Eighteen hundred people stormed the stage and wouldn't let me leave for an hour. Eight days later I was opening for John Kay and Steppenwolf." Dent has appeared in concert with Neil Young, David Bowie, The B 52's, Miles Davis, Stevie Wonder, The Cure, Stevie Nix, The Bangles and many others. He also performed at the 1983 U.S. Festival and the 1984 Olympics. What compelled Dent to begin his twofisted art attack? "I'm trying to stir people up to be creative, and that's one reason why I like playing colleges. That's why I got into this thing," Dent said. ASU will keep one of Dent's paintings. "It will probably be the one he does at halftime of the football game, because everybody will see him do it," Roberts See FAMILY page 6 drew up the party's affirmative action rules ensuring representation of women and minorities as delegates to the Demo­ cratic National Convention. Her work helped the 1964 Civil Rights Act gain passage. She is the founder of Americans for Democratic Action and has worked with the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights from 1964 to the present, fighting for passage of national rights legislation. In 1964, Yard ran for and lost a seat in the Pennsylvania state legislature. Yard tends to attract controversy and criticism in the causes she adopts. For example, she called for former President Reagan's impeachment and called his Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork a "Neanderthal." During the '88 presidential election, she called for the formation of a new political party dedicated to promoting women's issues. This idea was criticized by many as counterproductive and serv­ ing only to further alienate women in the political process. Today, Yard is in the forefront of the fight to protect women's rights and works to block state legislatures threatening to pass anti-abortion laws. This lecture promises to be thought provoking. So, even if you don't agree with her politics, at least go hear what this leader of an influential interest group has to say. The lecture is free and begins at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium.

ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore believes the Mountaineer squad will have little trouble bouncing back from lastS aturday's 48-0 shutout at Death Valley. "I think we'll bounce back fine," Moore said. "It's (the Clemson game) a closed subject with us. We played about as well as we could have." Moore added, "Our goal is to win the Southern Conference. Had we won the Clemson game, that wouldn't have helped us accomplish our goal." iISG ASU RUSHER. Sophomore J.K. Reaves (44) leads the Mountaineer ground assult this season, carrying 69 times for ds and four touchdowns in three games. Reaves and the rest of the App squad return home this week to host the Bulldogs of itadel. Both squads enter the Southern Conference match-up with 1-0 league records, with the Mountaineers coming off last s 48-0 defeat at the hands of non-league opponent Clemson and The Citadel entering after defeating SC member Marshall 24lome. The Mountaineers enter The Citadel contest with a 1-2 overall record and a 10 conference mark, with ASU's two losses coming in back to back games for the first time since the 1984 season. The Citadel is coached by fourth-year man Charlie Taafee who has compiled a 19-17-1 record while at the Bull dog helm. The Bulldogs appear to have rebounded from last season, which saw them finish last in the conference. The squad enters Boone this weekend with a 2-1 overall record and a 1-0 mark in the conference. Last Saturday, the Bulldogs nipped Marshall 24-21 in Charleston. The Citadel's only loss came at Air Force, a game the Bulldogs had a chance to win up until the final minutes. The Citadel returns 15 starters from last season's 5-5-1 squad, including 10 on defense. The defensive leaders include linebackers J.J. Davis (131 tackles in '89) and Dwayne Smalls (108 tackles) and ends Bill Melby and Lance Cook. The Bulldogs again feature a wishbone offense, a setup that earned them first in the conference and fifth in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 266 yards a contest. Quarterback Jack Douglas heads up the list of offensive returnees. Douglas led The Citadel in rushing and total offense last season, but completed passes at only a 38.6percentclip. If Douglas falters against the Apps, then either Brendon Potts, a starter last season until he injured a knee against Navy, or sophomore Speizio Stowers could see action. TheCitadel has an all-new backfield this season. Sophomores Everette Sands and Garret Sizer have stepped in at fullback. while Willie Jones and Cedric Sims are the featured halfbacks. This will be the 19th meeting between the Mountaineers and the Bulldogs, with ASU holding an 11-7 series advantage on The Citadel, taking four of the last five contests. Last season, the Bulldogs, paced by a balanced rushing attack and a strong de­ fensive effort, turned back ASU 23-13 in Charleston. The Citadel had four players with at least 10 carries and45 yards apiece, and as a result, were able to keep posses­ sion of the ball for 37:27, almost 15 min­ utes longer than ASU. The Bulldog de­ fense held the Mountaineers to only 189 yards of total offense, 106 of which were gained on the ground. Moore believes this Saturday's game will be a big challenge for the Mountain­ eers. "It's a big game. We approach every conference game that way," Moore said. "The Citadel missed two short field goals against Air Force or they would be undefeated. We certainly have a lot of respect for them." Moore added,"We'll have to play our best game of the year to win." Kickoff for the ASU-Citadel battle is slated for 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Kidd Brewer Stadium. ,ady Mountaineers get back on track with league win By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer he Appalachian State Lady Mounlers rebounded from a loss to Clemson ick up an important Southern Confer"volleyball win at Marshall Saturday, ,g theLady Wildcats in threestraight :s, 15-6, 154 and 15-13.

We had a lull in the first part of game three, and that accounted for the close score. But we came back from that lull and finished strong." Sabrina Hill led ASU's offensive attack with nine kills and just two errors in 14 attempts for a phenomenal .500 hitting percentage. Hill, a 5'10" junior from Ra­ leigh, has come on strong as of late, some­ thing the head coach was quick to point out. "Hill is really playing well right now," McGee said. "She has improved her con­ sistency a lot. In the past, she was hurt by inconsistent play, but she has gotten better in that area."

The loss left Marshall still searching for its first conference win at 04. McGee has implemented two changes in the recent weeks which have paid off for the Lady Apps. Kim Nelson has switched positions and rotes for ASU, and her contribution to the team has picked up. Nelson is more involved offensively, and because she is one of the best hitters on the team, thischangeispayinghugedividends. Secondly, ASU has switched from a read defense to a rotational defense.

That same kind of play carried us today (in the ETSU victory). It was a well-rounded effort, as you can see from the scoring, and every girl played at least 45 minutes. I'm proud of their efforts." On Sunday, the Lady Mountaineers came away witha2-l victory over UT-C. After a scoreless first half, the Lady Mocs jumped out to a 1 -0 lead on a breakaway goal. The Lady Apps answered with Gibson finding the back of the net. Three minutes later, Shelley Oberle connected on a 20-yard shot to end the scoring and give the Lady Mountaineers their second league win.

Quarterback Randy St. Clair hit tight end Pete Macaluso on a seven-yard pass to the middle of the end zone for the game's only score.

At press time, ASU was 74 overall with a game against East Tennessee State last night. Appala­ chian will play in a weekend tournament at UNC-Charlotte Friday and Saturday. The win marked the ASU club'ssecond straight shutout as the Appsquad defeated Duke 14-0 on Sunday, Sept. 15. McNeilly chosen as state representative Tim McNeilly, ASU's team sports co­ ordinator, wasrecently chosen as theNorth Carolina Student State Representative for the National Intramural Recreational Sports Association McNeilly was selected last April, but his duties are for the 1990-91 school year. ' As a student state representative, McNeilly will plan student workshops in the region. He also will meet with other state representatives later this semester in Louisiana. There, they will plan the role of further student involvement in NIRSA. McNeilly also will be responsible for in­ creasing the membership of the associa­ tion. McNeilly is a nativeof Shelby, NC. He is a second-year, sports management graduate student coming to App after re­ ceiving his undergraduate degree from Western Carolina. McNeilly's goal for ASU is to increase women and minority participation in intramurals. "Intramurals are fun," McNeilly said. "I consider intramurals as life-long activities." McNeilly's career goal is to be director of intramurals at a large university. McNeilly described intramurals as more than competitive sports saying they are also stress breakers. "If you came up here to study 24 hours a day, you're not going to make it for four years," McNeilly said. "You need leisure activities for your body and foryourmind."

The Radford bunch took a 3-0 win in the match, leaving the Lady Mountaineers still searching for their first victory of the season. Radford shuts out Lady Apps Mountaineers still searching for first victory of season By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Apps field hockey squad simply could not handle the physical play and speed of Radford Tuesday, as ASU fell at home 3-0 to the Highlanders. Due in part to Radford's physical play, the officials called many infractions, giving the Highlanders time to position themselves and neutralize the Appala­ chian attack. "Our squad took a lot of abuse out there," ASU Head Coach Karen Poole commented after the match. "But the main difference was that Radford was just much quicker on the ball than us." Radford's TriciaClippinger scored the first of the Highlanders three goals half­ way through the first half. Near the end of the half, Radfordnetted the second goalof the game, which was inadequately blocked by a Lady Mountaineer player, allowing the Highlanders an opportunity to stroke (go one on one with the goalkeeper). Radford's Beth Occiano lifted the ball high to successfully stroke, bringing a 2- 0 margin against the Apps. Later in the final half, Radford captain Patti Hauck rallied for a shot, bringing thedeficit to 30, the eventual final of the match. Despite the loss, Poole said, "We had a good team effort today; everyone went out positively and played well together." According to Poole, positive thinking is a necessity for this young team in order to counteract the lack of skill and experi­ ence they do not possess as a whole. In order for the squad to compete with oth­ ers, they must find cohesion and learn to work well together. ASU is unable to attract top, experienced players due to the lack of scholarships in this sport. (Appa­ lachian cun-ently offers no scholarships in field hockey, making it difficult to attract big names in high school field hockey.) Radford Head Coach Jeff Woods praised the efforts of Caryn Conboy, Occiano, and Hauck, whom he thought "successfully stopped play before ASU could attack." Woods was particularly impressed with the scoring of the High­ landers against ASU. "The App goalie (Libba Shannonhouse) is very tough. Scoring on her is an accomplishment in itself and can be the key to a team's success," Woods said. The Lady Mountaineers travel to High Point Saturday for a dual meet with High Point and Virginia Tech. ASU will be searching for a win against High Point. They defeated the Lady Pan­ thers last year 4-1."High Point is a strug­ gling team. Many of their players have quit because the program is in jeopardy. The team is in a rebuilding stage, and I am unsure of the results," Poole said. As for VirginiaTech, Poole commented: "They are a team that we normally only play in the Virginia Tech Tournament. This will be the first time that we play them regularly. They are a tougher team because they are from an area that plays a lot of field hockey." The Lady Apps will then take a break before competing in the Virginia Tech Tournament on Oct. 13 and 14. �The Appalachian. Thursday.

THEc|p^FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Ff 4 COMMENTARY And the choices are... Harvey Gantt Jesse Helms Moving towards a New South Seeking another six years By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Columnist If I were to pick out a government representative who was dramatically op­ posed to everything I believe in, it would be Senator Jesse Helms, who is running yet again this fall for U.S. Senate. This time he's standing against Harvey Gantt, former mayor of Charlotte. At present, they seem to be pretty much tied up in those polls that alwayshave a45 percent margin of error and list everybody as undecided. Helms has gained a slight edge as a result of his recent trip to the Middle East in which he supposedly did something useful beyond adding to the already stupefying cost of current American operations there. Helms hasn't done much in the way of campaigning, especially compared to Harvey Gantt, who has put in appearances all over the state, even stopping in Boone and Mount Mitchell to call for more comprehensive environmental regulations. Helms hasn't really had to campaign very much, as he's got several million dollars to operate from and he's raising more money every day through sleazy direct mail appeals directed toward the elderly and the generally confused, both in this state and throughout the south. There have been reports of some of his individual contributors exceeding the federally mandated limit of $1,000 and falling afoul of the Federal Elections Commission. To date, Gantt has less than $1 million. Not only has Helms received a con­ siderable amount of campaign money, which is used to clog the airwaves with 30-second burst of right-wing gibberish. A number of big businesses, particularly the tobacco industry, support him whole­ heartedly. A number of groups supporting big business from out of state have also contributed heavily to his campaign. Helms does a lot more for business than North Carolina. He has opposed virtually every kind of environmental protection bill, saying that it would hurt business and consequently people's livelihoods. It is worth asking ourselves whether or not North Carolina (or anyplace else in the Northern Hemisphere, for that matter) will be worth living in after another 20 year's worth of unchecked industrial waste. Helms hasconsistently opposed a lot of social legislation like child care, the minimum wage, a number of welfare programs and civil rights. While railing against the Martin Luther King, JT. holi­ day, he had the audacity to suggest that King, a great American, was a commu­ nist. Beyond saying something vague about the federal deficit, he had no other publicly stated reason for his position. Not only has Helms come out as some­ thing of a racist, he would also like to do a number on a lot of our rights that have already withered somewhat under the past 10 years of allegedly conservative lead­ ership. Of course I'm talking about all of the hassle over the NEA artists who made some powerful, if not offensive, social statements. Helms has led the way for those who want to control what we should or shouldn't hear and see. The amount of government money Helms would keep from these artists is a mere drop in the bucket when placed beside the monumen­ tal amount of money spent on the mind­ less military buildup that continues. B2 bombers are much more offensive to me than are perverts with bullwhips. Even more reactionary than his stand on the NEA is his shameful exploitation of the highly volatile issue of abortion. He's consistently supported anti-choice legislation. Not only would Helms con­ trol what information is available to you, he'd also control what you do with your own body.If this isn't violation of personal freedom, I don't know what is. Then there is Helms' support of some of the most brutally oppressive regimes in Latin American History, like Pinochet in Chile, to whom he referred to as a "Bullwark against Communism." Never mind that this sort of thinking has created the foreign policy disasters that have paralyzed the normal development of the region for decades. Surely Helms' greatest moment of shame comes from his vehement opposi­ tion to funding for AIDS research and prevention, on the grounds that this sort of thing promotes homosexuality. His actions have delayed and otherwise weakened the effort to bring this horrendous disease under control. Are we a nation that will stand idly by as an evergrowing number of its citizens succumb to a disease whose equal has not been seen since the Black Plague? Since when did our government have to right to declare what sexual be­ havior is "right" or "natural"? Who in their right mind is going to believe that people are going to base their sexual identity on something as subversive as a public service announcement anyway? He refuses to debate Gantt, calling such events, "dog and pony shows," an expres­ sion that is completely lost to me. Instead, he (or his campaign) has resorted to such unsavory tactics as suggesting that the entire N AACP is composed of drug fiends and run by a handful of white men like Ted Kennedy. Gantt has some of the most progressive ideas that I 've heard expressed by a North Carolina Democrat. He advocates using the "Peace Dividend" to finance a number of new and existing social programs, like national health insurance and environ­ mental protection. He believes rather strongly in working with government to empower everybody. His vision of gov­ ernment is that of advocacy for reform. I do not believe that Gantt intends for the government to interfere excessively in our lives as Helms' supporters claim. During Gantt's years as mayor of Char­ lotte, the region saw a prodigious level of growth, which was intelligently managed in a fashion aimedat benefitting everyone. While this growth was channelled to various sectors of Charlotte, it was never prevented. In fact, Gantt is quite probusiness. He is about putting people first, which would welcome change from the trend of the past 10 years. In fact, the Gantt-Helms race is not so much about liberal v. conservative values as it is about empowerment versus gov­ ernment. Look at all of the things that Helms stands for and you will see that they aredesperate and misguided attempts to control people's behavior rather than to empower them to develop their potential. Helms doesn'tsee the world in terms of its potential; he sees it in terms of some inflexible and long outdated vision of an America in which most of us would suffer if it did ever come about. Helms is an embarrassment to North Carolina. His actions over the past 15 years have helped continue to feed the notion that we in the South are little more than backwards yahoos and xenophobic rednecks. This fall we have a chance to improve our image and clean up our act. It would be no exaggeration to say we'd be doing the whole world a favor by sending Helms to wherever old fascists go when their time is up. It's been a long time coming. Editor's Note: Rayle is a graduate student in ASU'spsychology department. By HOWARD U. DURANT JR. Appalachaln Columnist Senator Jesse Helms isone of the most effective yet controversial politicians of our time. For the past 18 years, Helms has stood as the spokesman for the right wins in the United States Senate. Helms is a man of conviction who, like him or not, has never broken his principle on any issue. This year Jesse Helms faces his toughest challenge yet in the form of former Charlotte mayor, Harvey Gantt. The media has printed many anti-Helms articles in this campaign year and the record needs to be set straight. It has been said that Helms receives a lot of money from out of state. Well, he does, and so does Gantt. Gantt has spent a lot of time over the past few months making trips out of state in an effort to raise money. Some would have you believe that the majority of Helms cam­ paign funds come from the rich and big businesses. The fact is that Helms' av­ erage contribution is around $33. Hav­ ing raised over $8 million in this cam­ paign, that means there have been a lot of small contributions from the "common" man. Some say Helms spends too much money on his campaigns, but this money is necessary to fight the actions of the media. The Fourth Estate, that great bastion of liberalism otherwise known as the media, attacks Helms day after day without merit. The media gives im­ measurable amounts of positive press to their candidate, G antt, and an even larger amount of negative press to Helms. To bring themselves to a level playing field, the Helms campaign is forced to spend money to print the truth. The media does not like Helms because he speaks out against their own left-wing agenda. This campaign is perhaps the most important political race of 1990. Helms vs. Gantt is a classic battle of conserva­ tive faces liberal. The candidates differ almost completely in their ideologies. The first major issue difference is on taxes. Helms opposes tax increases, while Gantt favors them. One essential ques­ tion must be asked: Do we have a deficit because Congress spends too much or because of a lack of revenues? The fact is that our revenuesincreased throughout the 80s, but our spending increased at an evengreaterrate. HarveyGanttclaimsto care somuch about the working class, yet he wants to raise taxes even more. The burden of taxesis already too extravagant. The federal government's power to tax also gives it the power to control and destroy the people. Gantt and his fellow liberals seem to forget that large taxes are what started the American Revolution. Additional taxes will do nothing more than allow liberals to feed their "pet" programs, which do nothing more than regulate and enslave the citizens of America. Tragically, Congress spends money like it does not belong to anyone. Well, it does belong to someone: the American taxpayer. Congress robs our citizens blind and disguises it as"helping the people" through big government. Well, I would personally like a lot less help. Hopefully, people will not be blinded by Gantt's big government cha­ rade of "helping the people." This year, as in the past, Helms was rated number one by the National Taxpayers Union. North Carolina cannot afford to lose the economic leadership of Senator Helms. Gantt has another insane belief that Helms is soft on crime. He needs to look at the facts. Helms has fought for the death penalty for drug kingpins and boot camp prisons for drug offenders, and cuts in congressional spending accounts to help treat babies bom addicted to crack. Gantt, on the otherfieft) hand, opposes the death penalty and seems more concerned with criminal rights than with victims' rights. Now, who is soft on crime? Can North Carolina afford Gantt and his weak stance on crime? I do not feel we can take that risk. The National Endowment of the Arts brings about another heated issue in this election year. Over a year ago. Senator Helms began questioning the funding of obscene and sacrilegious art by the N .E.A. Helms is upset that taxpayers are having to contribute to this trash while Gantt feels this art should be protected under free speech. First, I hardly think that Robert Mapplethorpe's homoerotic, sado-mas­ ochistic photographs are reputable works of art. The fact stands that this is not free speech; it is subsidized speech. If nothing is wrong with this so called "art" then I invite Gantt to show these pictures in one ofhisadvertisements. CanNorthCarolina afford someone like Gantt who so readily accepts taxpayers having to pay for ob­ scenity and pornography? I certainly hope not. Helms and Gantt also have big differ­ ences on the issue of abortion. Helms is a pro-lifeadvocatc while Gantt is pro-choice advocate who takes his position to ex­ tremes by advocating the public funding ofabortions. Why should the taxpayersof North Carolina be forced to pay for the act of abortion? Gantt say he "trusts women" to make this decision, and \ fee\ unborn women should be included. Fifty percent of unborn children are women, and they ought to have the choice of whether or not to live. We have spent millions of dollars and have lost too many lives to protect those in foreign wars. Yet we lose that fundamental belief when it comes to our own children. It is a federal offense to destroy an eagle's egg, yet all protection of human life hasbeen forfeited. Gantt wants us to pay for this forfeiture of human life, whereas Helms does not want us to support this action in any way. Gantt has spent a great deal of time and money attacking Helms' record on educa­ tion. Gantt tells of how Jesse has voted against numerous education bills, and therefore he concludes Helms is against education. Gantt did not tell what bills Helms voted against and why. Most of these bill occured when we had already gone into deficit spending for the year, and Helms does not believe in spending money we do not have. Helms also be­ lieves in a decentralized education system with power at the state and local levels. The federal government has spent billions on education while our test scores have steadily declined. This liberal answer of throwing money at problems has not worked. Helms wants to put discipline back in the public schools and keep spending dependent on what those on state and local levels see fit. You tell me, was education not better in the past? Helms has fought throughout his life to restore America to its pinnacle of great­ ness. He has been hardworking and ex­ tremely consistent in his legislative efforts. Gantt has no experience in national poli­ cies. Can we really afford to lose Helms? Now, "You know where Jesse Helms stands, and what Jesse Helms stands for works!"

For most purposes, bicycles are treated like motor vehicles in the law; i.e. bicycles must travel in the correct lane, use turn signals, cannot be passed by another vehicle in a single lane, etc. In two of the cases I witnessed, bicyclists travelled the wrong way in a traffic lane causing cars to brake or swerve to miss them, and in two cases bicyclists "ran" red lights at peak traffic times. In all three cases, bicyclists cut across lanes of traffic (without signalling) and cut between cars.

State representatives David Diamont (D—Surry Co.) and Judy Hunt (D— Watauga Co.), both of the House's 40th district, were the only two legislators present on the budget panel. ASU Chan­ cellor Dr. John Thomas appeared on be­ half the university administration. The students were represented by Randall Hill, SGA director of state affairs. Topics addressed by the panel were the state budget's $336 million shortfall, the $41.50 ($83 out-of-state) fee increase for Appalachian Photo by Shown O'Neil PARSE CROWD ASKS QUESTIONS ABOUT FEE INCREASES: During the SGA sponsored budgetforum lastWednesday students in all 16 UNC system schools ight, ASU Chancellor Dr. John Thomas said the university "was not only going to survive, but we are going to prevail." The and the proposed $270 increase in ASU's liancellor was joined by state House members David Diamont and Judy Hunt, both democrats from the 40th district, and SGA fees, which the Board of Trustees will vote on in December. lirector of State Affairs Randall Hill in a discussion about student fees. Diamont, who also serves as the chair­ man for the House Appropriations Com­ mittee, said that state money needed to go into teacher salaries, which it did when professors throughout the system received a 6percent raise over the summer. He also said in the forum that the kind of studentfaculty-legislator exchange the forum was created for was good, for the students could add their input before the General Assembly's "long session," scheduled to begin this January. Hunt called the assembly's summer "short session" a timeof "great adversity," mainly because of the rift between House democrats due to Joe Mavretic's (D— Edgecombe Co.) promotion to the speaker of the House, replacing Liston Ramsey (D—Madison Co.). Also, all but four House republicans, according to Hunt, pledged to support republican Lieutenant Governor Jim Gardner's plans for no ad­ ditional revenues. "There was not a majority will to do anything this past session. There were never the 61 votes needed for a majority in the House to do anything better than cuts. I hope it will be different next time,"Hunt said. Thomas said the university would have to face the problems that budget cuts bring, even if it meant extreme measures such as "adding an extra cup of water to the soup or chopping up the carrot a little more." The chancellor stated that ASU has "held the highroad" on the cost of tuition, yethe was also quick to point out the negative aspects of using a raise in tuition costs as a revenue source, calling the idea "short­ sighted." "North Carolina is a very poor state," Diamont said, citing the high statewide dropout rate and the state's SAT scores, which are the second lowest in the nation. See OFFICIALS page 6 Operation Eagle blocks drunken drivers from highways By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer A possible solution to the problem of rank driving in North Carolina is Operaion Eagle, a state funded program that egan three years ago aimed at keeping upaired drivers off the road. "The program is a combined effort beveen the highway patrol and alcohol law (tforcement to remove the impaireddriver om thehighway,"Capt. Calvin Hardison f the N. C. Highway Patrol office in (ewton stated. The operation itself is aroadblock which happens on Friday and Saturday nights at locations and times chosen at random. Hardison noted, "Each year, we try to pick adifferent location. However, for the area we patrol, which includes Boone, we usually pick Hickory due to the number of drinking establishments and the amount of traffic." Operation Eagle has also been very ef­ fective. "Last week we made around 88 DW1 arrests in two nights in Catawba County alone," Hardison said. Though the highway patrol has not con­ ducted an Operation Eagle in Boone be­ fore, the chance always remains for a roadblock to happen in the area. "I can't say when or if (an Operation Eagle will happen), but it is a possibility," Hardison said. "Drunk driving is the most serious prob­ lem on the highway. Approximately 50 percent of all highway fatalities are alco­ hol related," Hardison said. Local law officials admitted that it is very difficult for them alone to enforce drunk driving laws and arrest impaired drivers. Lt. Donald Farmer of the Boone Police Department noted that "in Boone we write more speeding tickets because DWI arrests take up to one hour and tie up two police officers." "(The town) needs more patrol division officers to cut down on the drinking-anddriving problem. (The addition of more officers) would definitely lead to an in­ crease in arrests," Farmer said. According to Fanner, the Boone Police Department currently combats the DWI problem by paying off-duty police offic­ ers to come in on weekends and patrol. While the problem of impaired driving may continue to grow, it also appears that people are beginning to designate adriver to insure a safe trip home. Farmer complimented ASU students: "A lot more students are using designated drivers at parties as compared to a few years ago. Some students are even walking to parties to insure that they won't be on the road." Though many precautions are taken to prevent DWI fatalities, the accidents con­ tinue to occur. HannaThuss of Lenoir lost her 20-year-old son to a drunk driver in 1983. Thuss said: "The impact is hard to ex­ plain to anyone. The pain never goes away. lt lasts a lifetime for the victim." She also noted that drinking and driving is a widespread problem and, while our laws are stricter, they don't appear to be the answer. She said: "I think that Operation Eagle is a good idea. But any tiling that increases public awareness will help. The public needs to be constantly reminded of the danger of drinking and driving. The scary thing is that you cannot protect yourself from a drunk driver." Face lists could replace I.D.

DVWffC Appalachian Photo by Trey Horack BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICIALS WORK TO GET PEOPLE READY TO VOTE: Key statewide elections are to be held in little more than a month's time. Students who are not yet registered to vote can change that by visiting the voter registration table in the student union. The SGA sponsored drive will last through Oct. 2. SGA out to raise student vote count By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Newt Editor Elections for offices varying from dis­ trict attorney to the United States Senate have caused a great numberof students on campus to register to vote for the first time or to transfer their registration to Watauga County. According to SGA Director for State Affairs Randall Hill, 849 people, includ­ ing students, faculty and staff members, registered to vote in Watauga County as of last Thursday. Three hundred-eighty new democrats have registered to vote in the county, leading new republicans by 143 voters. Twohundred thirty-two people pledged no party affiliation. Hill said that most of the students he helped register to vote are students who have their first opportunity to cast a ballot in the November elections. "Many of the students I've talked to are people who have never registered before because they were bom in 1971 or 1972, and then you've got a lot of people who are transferring their registration from their home counties," Hill said. Certain issues have driven various stu­ dents to register, such as the continous call by students for the allowance of liquorby-the-drink sales in Boone. "The greeks around Boone, for instance, are always interested in the liquor-by-thedrink issue, so that would be a motivational factor there," Hill said. Hill said the most important factor in the number of new potential voters is the senate race between Jesse Helms, seeking his fourth term, and former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt. ASU student Jennifer Smith said the reason she registered was to have achance to vote in the senate election. "I know a lot of my friends have done the same thing I did in registering just because of the senate election," Smith said. Hill also stated that students don'toften remember to change their voting precinct when they change their address. "Often students don't realize that the west side of campus (the stadium side of River Street) lies in Boone Precinct Three and they vote at Farthing Auditorium while the other side of campus votes in Boone Precinct Two and they vote at the fire house on West King Street," Hill said. Students can change their precinct lo­ cation by filling out a change of informa­ tion card, which can also be found at the voter registration table in the mini-mall area of the student union. The cunent registration drive will con­ tinue until Oct. 2. Students can register from noon to 5 p.m. Monday to Thursday. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Production is demanding Special to the Appalachian The final days of rehearsal for Mark Medoff s "Children of a Lesser God" are steeped in high emotion, confusion and, mostsignificantly, revela­ tion. It is a time of integration as scenery, costumes, lights and sound join forces with the actors to complete the theatrical illusion. This fall's opening production is a special one. Its story centers around James Leeds, a speech therapist on the faculty of a school for the deaf, and Sarah Norman, ayoung woman at the school fiercely protective of her place in the deaf world and un­ compromising in her denial to enter the worldof the hearing. Love bridged between the worlds of silence and sound is tenuous at best, and it is here where the play finds its emotional center of inten­ sity. Playing James Leeds is ASU senior Andrew Lakin. A theatre education major from High Point, Lakin (a hearing actor) had taken two courses in sign language at the university before auditioning last May. He felt lucky to have an existing founda­ tion upon which to build a believable character. "Playing James has probably been my greatest role to date. The sheer magnitude of the task is over­ whelming at times," Lakin stated. "I have to know my lines and be able to understand and translate Andrea's (Andrea Church, a deaf actress who plays Sarah). If she skips a line, I have to know where she is. If I make a mistake, Andrea (who does not read lifts) can only rely upon my signing skills to get back on track. It has been a real eventful collabora­ tion." Working withChurch, however, has been a joy for Lakin. Together they create a truthful love re­ lationship as well as de­ picting its emotional unravelling. Lakin ishumble: "I like her; she puts up with me. We get along and compliment each other wonderfully. Working with Andrea makes acting easy." Perfecting his sign language skills has been one of Lakin's greatest chal­ lenges. Onecanleamonly so much from a book. Signing effectively and creatively is best learned from a deaf person. "An­ drea has taught me a great deal during the past four weeks, and for that I will always be truly grateful," Lakin remarked proudly. "She is a great actress and --Andrew Lakin teacher." Medoff uses a large ASU Senior vocabul ary inhis play, and Lakin and other cast members have had to struggle with these words physically and verbally. Idiomatic language is most difficult. Some things said in American English just cannot be translated u Playing James has probably been my greatest role to date.

Brown operates behind the scenes By KIM NALL Special to the Appalachian After experiencing the thrill of politics in Washington D.C., Kevin Brown hasn't been able to turn back. When he received his bachelor's degree in po­ litical science at UNC-Chapel Hill, Brown headed to ASU to enter the master's program. From there he hoped to go on to teach political science. It was through the master's program in the political science and criminal justice department that Brown heard of an internship offered in Washington. In 1982 he went to intern with Rep­ resentative Jim Broyhill. "When Idid the internship, I decided I would try to apply some of all that political theory in prac­ tice," Brown said. The internshipprovided abridge between the classroom and the working world. Due to his interest in foreign affairs he often found himself writing to constituents about the state of affairs in South America. By late 1982, Brown's internship had been completed. In December of that same year, Brown returned to ASU and received his master's degree. "At Appalachian I got the kind of one-on-one attention as a graduate student, and friendship from my professors—Dr. David Sutton in par­ ticular— that I never could have gotten at a larger university. However, he found he couldn't stay away from D.C. By January he was back at the Appalachian House on Capitol Hill with hopes of finding a job. He was fortunate enough to be appointed Repre­ sentative Broyhill's legislative assistant when the position unexpectedly opened up. In March of 1985 he was made Broyhill's chief of staff. Brown quickly found that his internship experience al­ lowed him to excel in jobs that he was given to do. The election in November 1986 saw the end of Broyhill's stay in office, and Kevin Brown found himself unemployed. After his move back to North Carolina in Feb­ ruary of 1987, he found a job with the Department ofTransportation. In less than sevenmonths Brown had been named Gov. Martin's manager of his re­ election campaign. He quickly found that his work in the governor's office was similar to his work in Washington. He answered questions concerning i 'o everything from legal to technical issues. He also (^EE assisted Phil Kirk, the chief of staff, in running the office and dealing with general political matters. It wasn't until just four months ago that Brown moved from the governor's office back to the Department of Transportation. "It was time for me toget back to the managerial position because, although I loved my job at the governor's office and it brought me in contact with a lot of different people and issues, it was not a managerial position," Brown said. Brown is now the assistant secretary of admin­ istration. He has nine sections who report directly to him. He sees his job as including "administra­ tion functions that keep his department going. They are not the kind of functions that yousee, like the road crews out on the highway or the Depart­ ment of Motor Vehicles office." The sections in­ clude behind the scenes functions and operations such as the computer and purchasing division. When asked whether or not he wanted to return to Washington, Brown replied, "I probably won't be going back to Washington because my wife and I just had our first child. We've got a little boy, almost six months old. I can't imagine going back up uivi v iw urjv a viiuu i i£iu now.

"It can create a lot of confusion, butonce you get thehang of it you forget the complexity. At least its easy to think that way." Before each rehearsal, the theater is a flurry of activity. Stage managers orchestrate props and dressing room assignments. The director, ASU faculty member Teresa Lee must answer questions from every comer of the room. Most impressive is the activity taking place on stage. The actors in this production continue to explore and perfect the characters they will play. Sign language coaches provide focus andsupport. In one comer hands are flying in a quick rhythm of defiant rebellion. In another, Church and Lakin express tenderemotion physically and vocally. The result is something truly sculptural, bodies and voices in motion ex­ pressing weeks of hard work. Theirs is apicture of dynamic theatre in its purest form. ASU's Department of Theatre and Dance will present Medoffs "Children of a Lesser God", its first production of the 1990-91 theatre season, in Chapell Wilson Hall. The show will run from Sept. 26-29 beginning each night at 8 pm.

See HOROSCOPES page 4 In today' s world, college students are confronted with problems at every step. Family, friends, fi­ nances andstudies can allput stress on astudent. To help deal with these problems, students can go to the Counseling and Psychological Services Center, which is located on the first floor of the student support building (i.e. the Post Office). The center is under the direction of Dr. Donald L. Sanz. When asked how long the counseling center has been in existence, Sanz said it has been at ASU for the past 25-30 years in one form or the other. As times changed and the concerns facing students changed with them, the center adapted to meet these new concerns. Currently the counseling center is staffed by seven full-time and six part-time counselors. These counselors are highly trained in their fields. All are either counseling psychologists, clinical psycholo­ gists or certified counselors and have either a masters degree or a Ph.D. These counselors are also specially trained to deal with the problems of college students and the difficulties they face while making the transition from teenager to mature adult. In addition to the full and part-timeprofessionals on duty, the counseling center also has from three to five graduate students who work on internships in the fields of clinical psychology, human devel­ opment and psychological counseling and health psychology. All interns are supervised by the staff and trained in their field by an established profes­ sional. For center counselors, training does not end with graduation. They are continuing to keep on top of the newertechniques and problems through classes and by furthering their own training. The counseling center offers a wide variety of services. In addition to individual counseling and group programs, it also offers testing, employee assistance, stress management programs, biofeed­ back and referrals tooff-campus services thatmight be needed by the students. The counseling center is also in charge of the Peer Career Center, located on the second floor of the student union. This division deals with career indecision and students who are having a hard time deciding just what they want or need to major in. As of last week, the Wellness Center, located on the second floor of the student suppxirt building is on official part of the counseling center. For years the two have worked together on various projects, but now they are part of the same organization. The Wellness Center provides students with helpful information on health and self-help groups for those with various health piroblems such as obesity and smoking. The counseling center also helps those who are victims of substance abuse and violence, such as rape or attack victims, and deals with attempted suicide victims. But the pjroblem does not have to be on a crisis level for the center to deal with it. They help students who are struggling withexams, having a hard time in a relationship, are from disfunctional families, are suffering from depres­ sion, aregenerally stressedout or haveanxieties, or are just out of sync with what is going on around them. A surprising fact about the counseling center is the number of students who make use of it. Accord­ ing to Sanz, thousands of students come into the center seeking help. It seems that few students are worried about the stigma that may be attached to those who seek psychological help. Sanz also stressed that one does not have to be sick or crazy in order to justify a visit to the center. In fact, approximately 90 percent of all problems brought to the center are either stress-related or just general concerns. Sanz encourages students to come to the See COUNSELING page 4 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Sanz states that the purpose of the counseling center, especially now that the Wellnesss Center has been in­ corporated into it, is to improve both the mind and the body to create an overall healthy person.

WARD Appalachian SporU Editor i ie Clemson Tigers accomplished the they had set for themselves Eoals W Saturday, shutting out the Mountaineers of ASU, 48-0. Oneofour goals before the game was to either score at least 40 points or have over 500 yards of total offense, and we chal­ lenged our players on this," first year Clemson Head Coach Ken Hatfield said. "Another goal was to shut Appalachian out, and I think we needed a goal that was realistic." Clemson scored over 40 points and held the Mountaineers scoreless over thecourse of the day, but they came a mere seven yards shy of netting 500 yards in total Appalachian Photo by Lorty Baugueu ST OF THREE: Clemson freshman tailback Ronald Williams (25) scores from four yards out for his first of three touchdowns iturday's 48-0 win over the Mountaineers in Death Valley.

On nerous occasions the App strikers iked the ball deep inside Bulldog terri1 only to find zoning defenders double triple team them. When ASU suced inpenetrating thenon-porouszone, JNC-A goaltender accepted the chale and repeatedly saved shot attempts. The Bulldog goalkeeper consistently cleared the ball downfield using booming punts that averaged 60 to 70 yards and stifled Appalachian rallies. With a cold, slicing rain falling, ASU appeared to be fiat and unemotional at the start of the contest, and it cost them. Asheville scored on a breakaway goal seven minutes into the match and was content to stack up on defenders and sit on its lead. Playing without standout forwardCarlos Lee, ASU had a difficult time threatening theopposition's goal, and the match turned offense, recording just 493 yards in the 48-0 victory. The Clemson points came courtesy of six touchdowns, threeby freshman tailback Ronald Williams, and two field goals, including an ACC record-ty ing 57-yarder. Each of the Tiger scoring drives con­ sumed less than two minutes of playing time. The Tigers, who entered thegame ranked 17th nationally, picked up 389 of their yards on the ground, while they held the Mountaineers to just 31 net yards rushing. The 389 Tiger yards came just six yards shy of the most an Appalachian squad has ever allowed, with the record going to the 1967 Lenoir-Rhyne squad. ASU passed for 90 yards Saturday to bring their total offense to 121 yards on70 offensive plays. Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Moore attributed Clemson's dominance to the Tiger speed. "I had forgotten in the last 18 months the biggest difference in I-A and IAA — speed,"Moore said. "I was in awe of Clemson's team speed. I think our team played extremely hard today, but we couldn'toffsetClemson's talent, theirgreat speed." Hatfield agreed that theTigers quickness aided in their victory. "...I think the real difference was the speed of the game," Hatfield said. The Mountaineers longest drive of the day went for 59 yards on 10 plays and ended in a Harold Alexander punt, one of 11 during the afternoon.The Tiger defense got into the backfield to record six sacks, ending quarterback D.J. Campbell's day with a negative 45 net yards rushing. The Mountaineers fumbled five times in the contest, losing possession on four of those bobbles. The 48-0 loss was the first shut out the Mountaineers had suffered since falling 49-0 to Furman in 1983. The 48 Tiger points was also the most allowed by ASU since that '83 Furman defeat. The game marked the first time ASU has lost back to-back contests since 1984, when the Mountaineersdropped three in a row. The game's first score came on Clemson's opening drive as the Moun­ taineers forced the Tigers into a fourthand-seven situation from the ASU 41 yard line. Chris Gardocki was called on to attempt the field goal, and his 57-yard boot split the uprights, tied an ACCrecord and excited the crowd of 77,000, the larg­ est to ever view an Appalachian football contest. The Tigers then scored on their next drive, this time answering a third-andseven plot with a40-yard touchdownstrike from DeChane Cameron to Larry Ryans. Following a Dexter Davis interception of a Campbell pass, Williams scored from four yards out to extend the Tiger first half lead to 17-0 with 6:31 remaining in the opening period of play. The score remained 17-0 for the re­ mainder of the first half as the Tiger squad substituted with second stringers. "We got a quick lead—17 -0-then we put the whole second team in, and they justhadn'tplayed as much," Hatfield said. The Tigers regained their momentum early in the second half, however, scoring on the half's first possession. This drive took five plays and covered 65 yards with Williams ending it on a seven-yard touchdown surge. Clemson then extended their lead to 270, capitalizing on a Campbell fumble with a 24-yard Gardocki field goal. The remaining Clemson points came in the fourth quarter, the first of which took just one play and consumed 81 yards of turf as Derrick Witherspoon got outside and sped down the left side for the touch­ down. Three minutes later, Williams recorded his third touchdown of the day, streaking around the right end for 38 yards and a 410 Clemson advantage. The game's final score came with 5:10 left to go as Eric Geter recovered an An­ thony Smith fumble on the ASU one-yard line. PaulCaputo carried it in, and Gardocki added the extra point to give the Tigers the 48-0 victory and put them at 3-1 on the year. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 12, with both losses coming against Divi­ sion I-A ACC schools.

Then with seven minutes left before the halftime break, UNC-Asheville knocked a shot past ASU goaltender Ashley Good to take a 2-0 lead. The rain eased during intermission and Appalachian seemedto play with renewed effort in the second half. With 17:45 left to play, the App squad poked a comer kick, alley-oop style, to three slashing strikers. The attempt was denied but UNC-A was whistled for a foul, and again ASU received a comer kick opportunity. The comer kick was also denied. ASU refused to godown without a fight, however, and sophomore David Terry exemplified the team's never say die at­ titude. With eight minutes to go Terry, trying to score, leapt into a headcrashing collision with the goaltender, only to have the ball sent upfield by a UNC-A defender. Late in the match, Terry again sacrificed his body, slamming into the goaltender to record his sixth goal of the season and put the Mountaineers on the board. The goal came too late to reverse the outcome of the match, however, as the Mountaineers took the 2-1 home loss. earns go separate ways for weekend meets ady runners take second on muddy Maryland course while men fall in Wake meet By DEBBIE POULOS Appalachian SUIT Writer re men's and women's cross country 'ds went their separate ways this tend, the women traveling to An»lis, MD„ for meet with Navy and e University and the men competing ie Wake Forest Invitational Meet at nston-Salem, N.C. j y. ranked fifth in the nation last claimed top honors in the women's fe-mile run, with 16 total points.

"Our main problem tonight was that it took two full games to get our key players started," McGee explained. "Once they got going, we did all right, but you can't wait that long to get going." The Clemson defense keyeda run early in game two by blocking four straight ASU net attempts and sprinting out to a 72 lead. The deficit was too much for ASU to mountmuchof a threat, and the Clemson pressure up front prevented any semblance of an Appalachian comeback.

"The amountof students thatwere there was disappointing, but there was a good cross section of students who attended.

According to Yelton, the forum's leg­ islative contingent was not meant to be partisan since only democrats were present.

Rethink priorities I Vhen student fees at ASU increase next year, students have no right to nplain. Last Wednesday, SGA held a forum for all students to voice their nions on fee increases, and approximately 65 people bothered to show up, f of whom were faculty and staff members. This apathetic attitude needs :hange. Most students do nothing but complain, yet when they are given k opportunity to do something they pass up the chance in order to watch TV, Ity with their friends, or lie around residence halls or apartments. "6nly approximately 15 SGA senators attended Wednesday's forum to iress studentconcern over the increases. Student senators need to get their jrities straight. As elected officials they should make every effort possible K /oice concerns for the students. When they do not attend forums where | officials have come to hear student opposition to fee increases because s, • y have other commitments, then students need to re-think their choices for ointed officials. SGA senators need to reevaluate the commitment they de to the student government association and to the students of ASU. The It of participation in the forum is an example of negligence that students iuld not stand for. 1 lo, before you go complaining about student fees next year, think twicehad the opportunity to do something about the increases and you passed K Jse gas efficiently imerican soldiers are on the verge of warfare overseas, while gas prices itinue to rise steadily here at home; President Bush has predicted no end in ht, and most Americans are wondering "What can I do?" Is students, our resources are limited, yet we need to do what we can to help ig this crisis to an end. )ne of the most effective ways to help is to conserve gas. Students should tool when they are headed home and should make every effort to walk n they can. Students should try to drive to school with neighbors, nmates and friends. If each student could manage to use hiscar only once teek, then a large amount of gas would be saved. Some students ride cles around campus already. These students have caught on to a derful idea. Other students should try to conserve by riding bicycles also, rail, conserving gas lowers our nation's demand for oil, decreasing our sndency upon Saudi Arabia'soil fields. If we intend to survive this crisis, ents must take action and do their part. Conserving energy on ily basis may not seem to have much of an effect, but in the end the results be outstanding. THE^boM^FARSIDE By G A R Y L A R S O N Mobil threatens Outer Banks The nation's thirst for oil has reached the point where we are contemplating war so that our supply remains plentiful. The men and women of the United States Armed Forces are putting on desert wear and positioning themselves all over the Middle East so we can drive two blocks to a convenience store for a pack of cigarettes or a cold drink. We are definitely a fuel-hungry nation, and I for one will admit to using a car to get around town when my feet would have done the job just fine. Driving is much quicker than walking, and you can carry more in a car. However, we must now re-evaluate our need to getbehind the wheel and go. A full-scale war isnot the only disaster that could occur as a result of Iraq's venture into Kuwait. In the search for a more readily available non-foreign oil source, ourfellow American oil executives are gazing upon the deep waters of the Atlantic. In 1981, Mobil bought the exploration rights to a ninesquare-mile area off the cost of North Carolina's Outer Banks for $300 million from the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service. Now they are ready to sink a few wells 40 miles off the coast and see what they can find. Geologists have estimated that 5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas may be found, and this could last North Carolina 34 years. If they do proceed with this explora­ tion, which will cost around $25 million, the fragile coastline of our state will be in serious danger. We are blessed withone of the most scenic and historic shorelines in the world. The long-time residents of the area stretching from Duck in the north to Cape Hatteras in the south have worked hard to curb over-development of the beaches. They have not been altogether successful in stopping construction in the area, but they have saved some beautiful places for those who wish to bike or camp in natural surroundings. Now, Mobil wants to come into the area and put a 535foot-long steel island 40 miles off the coast and see what is under the ocean's floor. Mobil has 120 days after they sink the wells to come up with a sufficient amount of products to warrant further drilling. The obvious problem do find black gold, however, they will stay until they get their expected one billion barrels. Is it worth the risk to you? Our state is fortunate to have both gorgeous mountains and a spectacular coast. We are on the other side of the state, and unless our families have summer homes or business in the east, we will probably not be directly affected by this exploration. Mother Earth, Hope on the other hand, will undergo what amounts to a serious root canal, and we could all be hurt by any complications Harvey she might have. Our government has already received $84 billion from leasing areas off the coast from Rhode Island to Florida. I wonder where it all went. I am sure it did not go into an account which could fund the research necessary for finding and developing an alternate energy source. It is more likely that this money ended up in defense accounts because our government cannot admit that one day the wells will all run dry. Now, back to where I began. The Persian Gulf crisis with this is that if there is something down there and one has definitely put adamper on our oil imports. Wereceive little accident occurs, the Outer Banks could be ruined. Fishing and tourism support those who live in Kitty 40 percent of our oil supply from this area and now we are Hawk, Kill Devil Hills and other coastal towns. One cut off. Many who support Mobil are calling for the accident 40miles off the coast could shutdo wn the fishing exploration to begin as soon as possible. Fortunately, industry.

O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Columnist Are Americans pro-choice or against abortion? The answer to that question has a great influence on oursociety. After all, legisla­ tors make decisions based, in a large part, on the views of the public. For politicians, it's simply a matter of survival for them to do what they think their constituency wants. Yet, despite this importance, com­ ing up with the true picture of the nation's view on abortion is not as simple of a task as it seems. This dilemma goes beyond the fact that public opinion polls have been shown to shift as much as 28 percent by just phras­ ing the question differently. When it comes to abortion, the issue is more specifically clouded by people be­ ing categorized as pro-choice because they say abortion should be permitted in some circumstances. What are these instances? They're the so-called "hard cases": the threat to the life of the mother, rape, incest or chances the baby will be born deformed (which is often times proven wrong or correctable by surgery). The historic Roe v. Wade decision, m fact, was argued on the basis of rape — though a few years ago the woman on which the case was founded admitted that she lied about being raped. How many abortions are done for the above reasons? Studies reveal that abor­ tion is done for reasons of threats to the mother's life, rape, incest or fetal defor­ mity in a total of not more than five per­ cent of the time, at most.Some studies say the actual figure is between two to three percent. Despite this, abortion is presently per­ mitted during the entire nine months of pregnancy forany reason. This isn't logical. Allowing abortion on demand because of the "hard cases" is like saying stealing should be legal for anyone un­ der any circum­ stances because S top and think whatstatements like this by pro-choice advo­ cates really mean. It means abortion should be allowed (as it is currently) as a means of birth-con­ trol, in the name of a woman determining what will be done to her body. There must be other ways a woman can control her body to prevent pregnancy thanafterthe-fact methods. Polls show the majority of Ameri­ cans are opposed to these kinds of abor­ tions, which remem­ ber make up at least 95 percent of them. Thus, most of the abortions performed in the United States would not take place if a true picture of thenation's views were depicted. It doesn't make any sense to say the majority of thepeople favor abortion when they are against most of the abortions that are done. U When it comes to abor­ tion, the issue is more specifically clouded by people being categorized some people are so as pro-choice because poor they have to steal to provide for they say abortion should their family. be permitted in some What makes up circumstances. the 95-plus percent of the other reasons women choose to have an abortion? A small part of these (but still larger than some of the "hard cases") is because the parents didn't like the sex their child will be. In other words, a woman who found she was going to have a girl when a boy was wanted (or viceversa) can get an abortion. The largest number of abortions, how­ ever, are done simply because the mother 99 Just because I say I like green peas and no other vegetable doesn't mean I'm provegetable. This distortion is very dangerous. Polls show the public is not in favor of abortion the way it is today—on demand for any reason. Americans want to see a change, but a very vocal minority twists this and is helped by the media, which shows its biases by giving them special treatment and coverage. Case inpoint: the recent pro-life rally in April at Washington this year had nearly twice as many in attendance than the rally in favor of abortion last year. Photographs taken at each rally can be put side-by-side to prove this. Yet, the news media cover­ age was a virtual blank-out compared to the pro-abortion rally. Because of themisconception thatmost people are in favor of abortion, events like these arenot deemed newsworthy because they would be of little interest to those who are incorrectly categorized as being "pro-choice." Next time a poll is presented proclaim­ ing the majority of Americans are in favor of abortion, don't be fooled. Especially if the question is broken down as to when they say abortion should be allowed. I've yet to see a poll like that which doesn't show the majority opposes the 95 percent of abortions which are performed in the United States. So, don't be misled into thinking most are inthe "pro-choice"camp. Editor's note: O'Flaherty is a gradu­ ate student here at ASU.

There is no proposed increase in academic fees, which were also cut (15 faculty position will remain unfilled again this year). Once again academics takes a back seat to athletics in our state.

I The North Carolina General Assembly has been blamed by students and legisla­ tors alike, according to the governments, for not taking the initiative in cutting the costs of higher education. Much of this, said campusleaders, is due to the legislative body's inner tug-of war. Both political parties fought for control in past sessions of both houses and its committees. The Struggle resulted in thedeparture of Liston jlamsey (D—Madison Co.) as speaker of the House and the promotion of Joe Mavretic (D—Edgecombe Co.), who took advantage of the split between party members from eastern and western parts af the state. David Diamont (D—Surry Co.), apDinted by Mavretic to head the House Appropriations Committee, said the present budgetcrisis was a "situation where we had to make a lot out of a little." The $41.50 ($83.00 for out-of-state students) fee increase added to UNC system stu­ dents' fall tuition bills was a recom­ mendation from the House's Edu­ cation Appropria­ tions Subcommit­ tee, according to Diamont. "The budget cutting process was not a very comfortable situa­ tion... that we tried to make as fair as possible. One of my fellow com­ mittee members told me that we must have done a good job with the cuts because everyone who received the cuts complained," Diamont said. Rep. Peggy Stamey (D—Wake Co.) said the present division within the House is the cause for most of the problems within the UNC system. "Years back. North Carolina placed a premium on higher education. (Former Speaker Ramsey) always felt that education was a place of nurturing, but all that changed with his removal," Stamey said. One of my fellow committee members told me that we must have done a good job everyone who received the cuts complained. The four-term incumbent called the committees who decided the budget cuts "terri­ bly partisan,"stat­ ing earlier House budgets attempted to give the state a proper climate for both business and education, of which the latter is being cut, according to Stamey. Stamey tried to alleviate the present shortfall by bringing a bill to committee which would put a two-cent manufactur­ ers'tax oncigarettes. The tax, as stated on the bill, would only be paid by foreign consumers who highly demand American cigarettes. Stamey said the tax would bring in an extra $350 million to the state, relieving the amount of the state's present deficit. The bill in its original form was voted down in committee after the tobacco lobby urged the bill not be put on the calendar. Stamey explained the tactics used by the tobacco lobby: "The tobacco lobby­ ists told me that the state of Washington doesn't tax the apples it sends out of their state, and Idaho doesn't tax the potatoes that it sends out of their state. But Wash­ ington doesn't ship 129 billion apples abroad every year, and that's the number of cigarettes we send to other countries alone." Editor's note: This article is the second in a series concerning higher educationin North Carolina. COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN VISITS BOONE TO TALK ABOUT BUDGET CUTS: Rep. David Diamont from Surry County was the N. C. General Assembly's representative to the SG A-sponsored budget forum held last night. -SGA senate opens; Burnley discusses proposed ordinances By CHRISTY CONLEY Appalachian Staff Writer and RAE BEASLEY Editor-in-Chief I The first SGA Senate meeting kicked off Tuesday night as the Director of State Affairs Randy Hill encouraged Senate members to fight against proposed fee increases, and Boone Mayor Velma flurnlcy explained how the town council Works in conjunction with ASU. I Hill asked senatemembers to attend the public forum that was held Wednesday sight to discuss the increases the General Assembly and ASU are proposing for the 1991-92 academic year. This forum is very important. All snators should be present, including all abinet members who can attend. For the General Assembly to raise the cost of education while cutting its quality and while rejecting alternate tax raising mea­ sures is ludicrous," Hill said. Hill is currently involved in a voterregistration drive which will continue through the end of September and en­ couraged all senate members and students to register to vote. Burnley also addressed the student senate concerning the structure of the government in Boone. Burnley explained Boone's form of government and told the duties of the five at-largecouncil members. Burnley also stated she was pleased that SGA President Mike Scales is an exoffico member Of the council and has a voice in the issues. "I think that this helps the student government be informed about upcoming town issues," Burnley said. Senate members asked Burnley about the noise ordinance in Boone and if she had any solutions to the problem. Sena­ tors stated some students were feeling unjustly accused by the police for going above the decibel meter limit. "It's a problem that I really don't have an answer for," Burnley said. Burnley also stated the Boone police try to use their best judgment in these issues, and they "really want good relations with students." The mayor later added she would be glad to call a meeting to discuss the issue further. In addition to the speakers, two bills were discussed before the senate. The Homecoming bill, which passed unanimously, allowed Janet Avant, pub­ lic affairs director, to begin collecting homecoming nominations and set a date for homecoming elections. According to the bill, nominations were opened Tues­ day, Sept. 11, and were accepted until Tuesday Sept. 18, at5 p.m. Homecoming elections will be held Oct. 8-9 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. in the student union. Director of Student Affairs Randy Yellon proposed a bill allowing the university's chartered buses, cars and vans to sport the ASU logo. "No one knows that ASU is on the move without seeing the ASU logo," Yelton said. "Putting the ASU logo on the vehicles will show a certain amount of school pride." According to Yelton, the cost to paint the two chartered buses is $22,000, and placing decals and ASU plates on the cars and vans would be minimal. The bill was New cuts put phone registration on hold By LAURIE WARNOCK Appalachian Staff Writer I Due to state budget cuts, a proposed telephone registration system will not be •"stalled at ASU in this academic year, according to Don Rankins, assistant reg­ istrar. State money was set aside for the sys­ tem but had to be appropriated elsewhere. Rankins said he could not recall the exact figure which had been saved. The telephone registration system, when put into effect at ASU, is expected to provide 24 lines students could call, day or night, at their own convenience. Stu­ dents would be given assigned times to call and could call back as many times as needed. Here is how the system would work: - First, a student would call from a touchtone telephone and enter in his so­ cial security number and personal identi­ fication number labeledon the registration permit. - Next, the student would punch in the call numbers for the classes requested. - Finally, the computer would confirm the classes entered. According to Rankins, the computer could be used for more than registration. Students could obtain information about their financial aid status, receive an up­ dated transcript and also get a sports schedule. Conversion tothe telephone registration would not be cheap for ASU. Rankins said the estimated cost of conversion to the new system is between $100,000 to $120,000. " The administration has deemed this project high on their priority list," Rankins said. wr* VL'A ,V« Ph<Xo Courtesy of Ron Sails of gMPlJTER SYSTEM MAY BE IN ITS FINAL YEA RSOF USE: Budget cuts required by the state have halted the installation I a Phone registration system. The system was to be in place in the next two years, but now no expected date of initial operation •J^^J^nnounced. At the present, the registrar's office is looking for creative ways to budget the system, without putting the burden of cost on the students. Rankins said that if the system was to be funded by the students, it could be paid off in two semesters by charging each student a $5 access fee. N.C. State University converted to the telephone system two years ago, accord­ ing to Rankins. He also said the biggest complaint among the students at N.C. State is that the line is always busy. N.C. State has 36 lines in operation for classes. Rankins said N.C. State charged its stu- See NEW page 2 passed Unanimousily and a "friendly amendment" was added to help in fund raising for the bill. In addition to discussion of the bills, SGA members voted for freshman and sophomore justices to the student court. According to SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent, two full seats and one alternate seat were available for each class. The candidates wererequired to address SGA about themselves and their qualifi­ cations, a debate was held and justices were chosen. Gustav Larsson and Christopher Dodd were chosen as the full freshmen justices and the alternate freshman justice will be Chip Baggett. Sophomore justices selected were Jason Bonar and Vanessa Alston; the alternate sophomore justice will be Rick McPherson. Ghent said he was impressed by the number of senators who spoke at the meeting. He was glad to hear so many strong voices litis year, but was disap­ pointed that many senators left after the five-minute recession. After the meeting Ghent stated, "I was disappointed that so many senate mem­ bers chose to leave early for other com­ mitments... and we were coming desper­ ately close to losing quorum." According to Ghent, all senate meet­ ings must have 50 plus one voting mem­ bers in order for issues to be voted on and for the meeting to be held. "Student senate should be paramount to other priorities. This isn't an organi­ zation where you can come and go as you please. Senators have a duty and respon­ sibility to the students of ASU," he said. Earthfest scheduled Spirit of Earth Day to resume in Champaign, III. (CPS)—The University of Maryland, like all campuses, has had its share of troubles following upon theenvironmental enthusiasm generated by last April' s Earth Day. A fraternity's aluminum can recycling contest, for example, prompted members of rival flats to try to win by stealing cans from a recycling center. Another fraternity helpfully deposited 15 tons of newspaper at a recycling center during the middle of the night so that workers had to dig through the dumped paper to get into the building the next morning. "We tried to get the sororities and fraternities on the bandwagon," re­ called campus activist Terry Lunn, "but we've had some problems with the fra temities." Maria Carter, an environmental move­ ment organizer at Texas Southern Uni­ versity, added that converting student in­ terest in the cause into progress is "a never-ending job." In part to figure out how to do it, more than 3,000 collegians from around the country are expected to gather at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign Oct. 5-7 for an environmental conference. The meeting promises to be not only the biggest student environmental conference ever, but also a pivotal moment in the movement's efforts tokeepcampus interest in the issue alive. "Outside of the student world, a lot of people saw (Earth Day) as big hype," Will Tour, co-chairman of CATALYST, the group organizing the conference. The conference was planned during last April's Earth Day as a way to unify the movement, said CATALYST co-chair Jeremy Hays. "The movement is definitely going," Hays maintained. So far, most post-Earth Day campus efforts have consisted of re­ cycling campaigns and efforts to rid schools of eating utensils made of poly­ styrene. There is other evidence that environ­ mental concerns are influencing student thought more broadly. Such things suggest Earth Day did in fact have a long-term impact on students. "I think it's still growing since Earth Day," Toor added. Toor wants to use the conference, sponsored by the Student Environmental Action Coalition, to broaden the movement and setup ways for supporters in different parts of the country to coordinate their efforts. He'll also try to launch a "national corporate accountability campaign." Thecampaign, he said, will usehardball tactics like boycotts, divestment campaigns and civil disobedience to influence big business policies. Cool It!, an SEAC offshoot student group devoted to ending global warming, hopes to use the conference to show campus environmental groups how to in­ clude minority students on the campaign. "On a large scale, you don't see stu­ dents of color involved in environmental campaigns," said Yewande Dada, a Cool It! organizer.

September 20. 1990 Racial incidents spark protest (CPS)—In what is likely the longest running protest of the summer, Cleveland State University students on Sept. 4 en­ tered the 67th day of a sit-in protesting how CSU treated a black administrator. At Cleveland State, "We're prepared to stay as long as possible," declared student Herman Brooks 11, one of the protesters demanding that CSU re-hire Raymond Winbush, its former vice president for minority affairs. Between 40 and 50 students and local citizens have maintained a sit-in—with about 20 people on duty at all times- at CSU President John Flower's office building since June 29. The protesters may be there a long time. The university says it won't budge. Raymond Winbush is not an issue for negotiation," CSU spokesman Ed Mayer said. While CSU grappled with the contro­ versy over employment of a minority of­ ficial, Cole, one of the few black profes­ sors at Dartmouth, resigned Aug. 22. Since 1983 the "Dartmouth Review," one of the original conservative student newspapers funded on some35 campuses by a group of wealthy business people, regularly attacked Cole as incompetent and even as looking like a "used brillo pad." The attacks , which climaxed in a shoving match between Cole and two Review staffers, drew the official ire of Dartmouth administrators and ultimately became a national issue when writer Wil­ liam F. Buckley cited the disciplining of the "Review " staffers as an example of how colleges discriminate against conser­ vatives. The Cleveland State controversy began when Winbush refused a new contract that offered only a2-percentraise. Rather than present a counter offer, Rower with­ drew the contract, leaving Winbush without a job. Winbush, noting that all other CSU vice presidents also were offered merit raises, said Flower's 2-percent cost-ofliving offer was an insult. "I was trying to do a job and I got truncated," Winbush said. Flower hired Winbush 10 months ago to fill the newly created position. In that time, Winbush became a visible campus figure. MONDAY- In addition to the student sit-in, Winbush's ouster prompted a statement by black professors condemning CSU's action, and it has attracted justice depart­ ment officials to the campus to mediate the dispute. Cleveland Mayor Michael White and Ohio Gov. Richard Celeste both have called for a resolution to the controversy. Brooks said protesters have been picketing at homes and offices of trustees, who in July expressed their support for Flower's handling of the situation.

E Boone Mall StQ ge Shows Presentation �DIVERSIONS The Appalachian, Thursday, September 20,1990 Play features love story with a twist Special to the Appalachian ASU's Department of Theatre and lance will present its first production of j|l990-91 theatre season. Mark Medoff s "hildren of a Lesser God" will run from ept. 26-29 beginning eachnight at8 p.m. | !Chapell Wilson Hall. ^ "Children of a Lesser God" is a beguil-Njgly simple play about intimacy, comi p iitment and the struggle to maintain in' dividual spirit within a loving relationhip. The story centers around James ^eds, a speech therapist on the faculty of jchool for the deaf, and Sarah Norman, young maid at the school fiercely projctive of her place in the deaf world and ncompromising in her denial to enter the /odd of the hearing. S The first act is a traditional love story. Jjjuent in sign language, James tries, with little success, to help Sarah and gradually he two fall in love and marry, j The second act is the story of a marriage nidged between two dissimilar worlds. Tic love shared between the two is soon Jhttered by individual needs and desires. Wn ^ end the chasm between sound and jlence seems almost too great a distance j cross. Medoff s play was originally written ar friends Bob Steinberg and Phyllis ielich. Frelich was a semi-retired deaf ess who lamented thelack of roles for the hearing impaired in the American the­ ater. Steinberg was her husband and a designer who often worked with Medoff. What began as a golden opportunity soon became a labor of love for Medoff and the Steinbergs. Theater director Gordon Davidson noted the play's strength and brought the production to the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles where it premiered in 1979. Within months "Children" moved to Broadway and reviews were excellent. Tony Awards went to John Rubenstein for hisportrayal of Leeds, Frelichas Sarah and Medoff for the best play of 1980. "Children of a Lesser God" also won the Outer Critics Circle Award and a Drama Desk Award for best play. Subse­ quent awards included a Best Actress Academy Award for Marlee Matlin as Sarah in the 1986 film. Directing the play at Appalachian will be Department of Theatre and Dance professor Teresa Lee. She is faced with the unenviable challenge of staging and directing the dramatic moments as well as coordinating the use of American Sign Language for her actors. Andrea Chruch, a deaf actress, will play Sarah. Her role is a difficult one as she must redefine audience sterotypes, portraying the deaf person's world as a lifestyle both whole and complete. An­ drew Lakin, a theater education major from High Point, plays James Leeds. Throughout the play, Andrew will translate Sarah's signing intospeech while also speaking and signing his own lines. At times, Andrew will be expected to simultaneously create two distinctive and opposing emotions on stage. Mark Levi will design the scenery. The costumes will be designed by Martha Marking, and the lighting will be de­ signed by Frank Mohler. Other cast members include Lee Buffaloe (Orin Dennis), Wendy Jones (Mrs. Norman), Scott Mical (Mr. Franklin), Rachael Buckner (Lydia), Roberta Ferguson (Edna Klein), and Marta Tuttle will understudy the role of Sarah. Jenny Waltonwill stage manage the show, and the assistant stage manager will be Paul-Sean McCain. "Children of a Lesser God" will be ASU's 1990entry into the American Col­ lege Theatre Festival. This year's North Carolina State Theatre Festival will be held atCatawbaCollege's Shuford School of Performing Arts. There the play will be considered for production at the regional festival in Mississippi in January. There several plays will be selected to move on to Washington D. C.'s Kennedy Center for national exposure and recognition. Tickets are available at the theater and dance office, 134 Chapell Wilson, or by calling 262-3028. Tickets are$4 for adults and $2 for students. LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION: Rehearsals are currently underway for the ASU theater department's presentation of "Children of a Lesser God." The production will run from Sept. 26-29 at 8 p.m. This night of thought-provoking entertainment should be well worth the $2 student and $4 non-student admissions. "Ritual" reflects rocky history By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer Jane Addiction's new and noteworthy "Ritual de lo Habitual" is "the next big thing" to come raging out of that sprawl­ ing, sun-baked slab o' desert and smog known as Los Angeles. So, y'see a bit of background 'tis in order. Back in the dread 70s, El Lay was ruled by singer-songwriters Jackson Browne, Randy Newman, The Eagles and the often overlooked Warren Zevon. Those who were a little left-of-center in their tastes had the occasional Frank Zappa or Cap­ tain Beefheart called Van Halen. But gen­ erally, mellow ruled. As the decade turned, L.A.'s feisty "un­ derground" scene started to pick up some steam and national attention. Punk and "new wave" bands like Black Flag, Sui­ cidal Tendencies, Gun Club, X, Fear and Savage Republic all started putting out records while record companies were gobbling up new "underground" metal bands likeMotley CrueandGuns-N-Roses left and right. Thus, the seeds of revolu­ tion were sown. By the mid-80s, a new generation of rock'n'roll renegades like The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction began pick­ ing uplots of attention. As the underground crashed into the main­ stream, lots of singersongwriters found that their records weren't selling and making them any more cash. What a shame. Shocking" turned street rage into an art form, as punk venom and suburban bore­ dom were fused into a focused, white-hot slab of rock'n'roll sociology. The most striking stuff on "Nothing's Shocking" is starkly personal— "Pigs In Zen," "Summertime Rolls" and the frightening "Ted, Just Admit It," — with a mix of anger that made "Nothing's Shock­ ing" more effective than a year worth of editorial com­ mentary. "To the mos­ quitoes, We have more influence over your children than you do, but we love your children. Most of you love them too, very much... begins the "Ritual" opens with a pair of thrashy rock tunes, "Stop!" and " No One's Leaving," which both work along lyrical themes of rebellion and independence... In the wake of the Chili Peppers success, Jane's Addiction be­ came the next band to get the coveted record contract. The resulting breakthrough, "Nothing's Shocking" (their second al­ bum), came roaring through the rest of America in the spring of 88. "Nothing's editorial bit contained within the lyric book of the CD "Ritual de lo Habitual." This open letter is aimed more at the band's critics than anyone else. The origi­ nal artwork for "Ritual" was deemed "offensive to the masses" by several very important record store chains who refused to carry the album without artwoTk"modifications." The band politely told retailers what they could do with their "modifications," thus delaying release for several months. The original artwork won out and to placate the overly sensitive, Warner Brothers shipped some copies in a plain, white sleeve with a "parental advisory explicit lyrics" note strategically slapped on the cover. A similar controversy arose over the artwork and lyrical content of "Nothing's Shocking," and two years of constitutional wrangling over album cover art have left Jane's Addiction with a fresh new outlook on the meaning of free speech. All of this is reflected in "Ritual de lo Habitual." The sound is more stylized and See RITUAL page 6 Orchestra performs romantic period music Appalachian Plioto by Nicole uuinn E WE HAVING FUN YET?: Nationally acclaimed comedian Todd Yohn and ive North Carolinian T.S.

The shows are only open to iii^SJdeiusand Ihcu guests. The opener for Todd Yohn was T.S. Hughes, a native of North Carolina. Bul­ lock stated this performance was a big break for Hughes. With his sophisticated humor, the fact he was a beginner went unseen. The crowd appreciated Hughes' spon­ taneous nature because, "It showed his creativity and love for comedy," Stephen Schmotzer, who attended the show, said. Hughes gave the impression that his act was different everywhere he performed. It was as if the show was custom built for the audience. Theheadlincr for the evening wasTodd Yohn. In his T-shirt and bluejeans, Yohn was very laid back. He used formula hu­ mor and threw in jokes that made the audience gasp. His punchlines may have been predictable, but that did not take away from his performance. The audience could not get enough of him. They sang along with Yohn's parodies of songs such as "Stairway to Heaven," and other clas­ sic rock songs. The songs were similar to the parodies by Weird Al, only more shocking. Both comedians received thunderous applause from the audience. When the show came to a close, the audience's applause brought Yohn back for an en­ core. So, if you've been wondering where to go for a good laugh, check out the Comic Strip once a month at Legends. Special to the Appalachian The nation's first full-time professional chamber orchestra will perform music from the romantic period in Farthing Au­ ditorium on Sept. 25. The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, which began in 1958 with neighborhood performances and regional touring, has since established a 40-week international touring schedule. Denis Davies, considered one of the country's leading conductors of contem­ porary music, became the orchestra's music director in 1972. With his long hair and passion for motorcycles and baseball, Davies was a popular and color­ ful leader of theSaint Paul Chamber Or­ chestra. Davies and the orchestra earned a Grammy Award in 1979 for the best classical recording of the year of Aaron Copland's "Appala­ chian Spring." P i n a c h a s Zucherman succeeded Davies in 1978, bringing anew level of prominence to the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. The orchestra's reputation grew with repeated invitations to such prestigious festivals as Ravinia and Palm Beach and with fre­ quent appearances in Washington, D.C., and New York. Under Zucherman's di­ rection the orchestra made 12 recordings, featuring performances by internationally recognized artists including Emanuel Ax, Yo-Yo Ma and Isaac Stem. Hugh Wolff now reigns as the present principal conductor for the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. During the 1988-89 season, he conducted 12 programs as well as the East Coast tour, which included an appearance in the Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. During the summer of 1988, Wolf f also made his first appearances with both the Boston Symphony Orchestra at Tanglewood and the Israel Philharmonic. He was music director of the North Eastem Pennsylvania Philharmonic from 1981 through 1986 and made his New York City Opera debut in the summer of 1986, directing five performances of Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro." Wolff was bom in 1953 in Paris to Americanparents. A former student of piano with Leon Fleisher and com­ position with George Crumb, Wolf majored in music composition at Harvard with Leon Kirchner and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in 1975. He spent a year of fellowship study at the Paris Conservatoire studying conducting with Charles Bruck and composition with Olivier Massiaen. He spent three years in graduate study at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore with Leon Fleisher. 44 With his long hair and passion for motorcycles and baseball, Davies was a popular and colorful leader of the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In September of 1987, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra announced the cre­ ation of the Artistic Commission, a new concept in musical leadership that empha­ sizes the orchestra's continued commit­ ment to excellence and innovation. This commission brings together the positions of director of music, principal conductor an4-Creative chair in leadership, to galva­ nize the artistic potential. In contrast to its modest 10-concert inaugural season in 1968, the Saint Paul Orchestra now presents over 150concerts in a 40-week season and is heard by thou­ sands in concert appearances and numer­ ous recordings. The orchestra continues to make exten­ sive national and international tours, most recently a highly successful three-week tour of Europe in March of 1990. The orchestra performs regularly at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and makes regu­ lar appearances at a number of prestigious music festivals. Tickets, S10 fornon-students and $5 for students, are on sale at Farthing Audito­ rium box office. For more information, call (704) 262-4046. A.P.P.S.

Marsh was attempting to return a Jay Millson kickoff. This week the Mountaineers travel to Death Valley to fact 17th ranked Clemson. The ASU Mountaineers invade the Tiger's den this Saturday as they travel to Death Valley to meet 17th-ranked Clemson. The Mountaineers, 1-1 on the year, enter the contest after a week off following a 23-12 loss to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. After opening with a 59-0 thrashing of Long Beach State, Clemson, 2-1 on the season, has struggled the last two weeks. The Tigers lost to Virginia for the first time in school history, 20-7, two weeks ago and looked sluggish in an 18-17 victory over Maryland in College Park last Satur­ day. Clemson has fallen from the top 10 down to number 17 in this week's Associated Press Divi­ sion I-A rankings. "I expect Clemson to come out fired up after their loss to Virginia and a close game against Maryland," ASU sophomore punter Harold Alexander said. "There will be a bunch of people there... a lot of orange." The game is a homecoming of sorts for Alexander, a native of Pickens, South Carolina, which is about 15 minutes from Clemson. Clemson is coached by first year Head Coach Ken Hatfield, who replaced Danny Ford after the former Clemson coach was forced to resign in the wake of NCAA probation. Hatfield has compiled a career record of 84-49-2 during stints at Air Force and the University of Arkansas. Handling the quarterbacking duties for Clemson is junior DeChane Cameron, who was a backup to Chris Morocco last season. Heading into the Maryland game, Cameron had completed 18 of 39 passes for 192 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to last week, Cameron was the ACC's sixth rated passer. The Tigers have an all new backfield from the group that led the ACC in rushing offense a year ago. Joe Henderson and Wesley McFadden have graduated, and Terry Allen left school after his junior year. Sophomores Howard Hall and Larry Ry ans and freshman Rodney Blunt have guided the Clemson running game this season. Before the Maryland game,Clemson was averaging 255 yards a game on the ground, once again tops in the ACC. The Tigers also feature a strong and experienced defensive attack. The "Sporting News," in their preseason issue, chose Clemson's linebacking corps as the best in the nation. Senior John Johnson, junior Levon Kirkland and sophomore Wayne Simmons spearhead a defense which has allowed only 67 points in its last eight games, dating back to last season. Clemson also returns one of the best kickers in the nation in junior Chris Gardocki. Gardocki handles both tire placekicking and punting chores for the Tigers. Last season, he became only the second player in NCAA history to rank in the top 10 in the nation in both categories. Before the Mary­ land game, G ardocki had made only one out of two field goal attempts, but led the ACC with a 45.1 yard punting average. Alexander said although Clemson will be a big game, the Appalachian players are keeping it in perspective. "We treat it just like any other game," Alexander said. "It's not any different, even if they are a nationally ranked ACC school." ASU and Clemson have met only once before on the gridiron when, in 1984, the Tigers defeated the Mountaineers, 40-7, in front of 74,000 people, the largest crowd ever to see ASU play. Kickoff for the ASU-Clemson clash is slated for 1 p.m. Saturday in Clemson's Memorial Stadium.

The Apps seemed to be on their way to an easy win after outscoring the Mocs 15-12 in the next game, but UTC came back with a 15-13 win. In the fifth and deciding game, ASU put the match to an end with a 15-7 victory. "It was a slow match, and we played a lot of freshmen," McGee said. "They played fairly well, but they still need experience." McGee pointed out that offense is where the Apps' strength lies, with smart hitters in Tammy Craig and Kim Nelson in particular. "And we're improving defensively, so things are coming to­ gether," she said. "We will need to practice our serves and we need to be more consistent. We are looking good as far as our hitting percentage is concerned, and we're getting good play especially fromTammy (Craig), Kim (Nelson), Sabrina (Hill), and Joanne (Myers). Weare alsolooking for one or two players to step out and give us some leader­ ship, especially in the big games." Following the weekend action, the Lady Apps sport a 5-3 overall record and 1-1 league mark. The 1-1 conference record puts the Mountaineers in a tie for second place behind Furman. However, the squad faced the Western Carolina Catamounts, whom they were knotted with, last night at Varsity Gym (Scores were not available at press time).

The group's message is someone can still be "the life the party" without having excessive amounts of alcohol. Call Residence 'e to get involved. rhese alternatives are just a couple of ways ASU students are working to rcr the statistics. Drinking and driving affects everyone, and students >uld use these alternatives ASU has provided before they sit behind the £el of a car while under the influence. Join BACCHUS, call the "Tipsy Hl*i" service, use the beeper system if you are in a greek organization, but n't drive drunk. If you arc uncomfortable using these programs then call a friend or ghbor who is sober to come and get you. Use the town's taxi service, xiurage your friends to drink responsibly or designate a driver to insure Jryone gets home. fhe privilege to drink is just that, a privilege, and should be treated iously. Next time you drink an alcoholic beverage, stop and think before " get into a car. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Appalachian Staff Writer Chances are when you moved into your new room here at Appalachian and started unpacking you realized a lot of the things you brought should have been left at home. You and your roommate probably could have gotten by with just one 200-watt stereo system, and one 30 inch color T.V. probably would have sufficed, but you just kept on packing. Before you had even gotten the fifth suitcase stuffed to the point where your mom and dad had to sit on it while you closed it, everything that belonged to you, including your boyfriend or girlfriend, had been packed. During the first day of classes you got your first good glimpse of all the breathtaking scenery ASU has to offer, and when you finally decided to call it a day you un­ doubtedly realized one of the larger items you packed maybe, just maybe, should have been left at home. This item, whether it came in the back of your mind or the front of your car, is none other than your boyfriend or girlfriend. College is an opportunity to do more than just acquire an education. It's an opportunity to acquire your own personal identity, or in short, find out who you really are. I believe the best way to discover who you are is to discover who someone else is. By giving yourself a chance to meet other people you will be blessed with an opportunity to learn something about them and yourself. You may find that another person believes strongly about something you also feel strongly towards, but you had, up to that point, never realized, or were just afraid to ac­ knowledge how you felt about that situation. You may, perhaps, find you both enjoy the same sports, but neither of you had ever known anyone else who did. Bringing a girlfriend or boyfriend to school, whether it's physically or mentally, will more than likely interfere with your meeting many new people. Your boyfriend or girlfriend won't interfere with your becoming close to your roommate and floormates, but it will interfere with your becoming close to some members of the opposite sex. This is not to say you will be unable to become close with any person of the opposite sex, but it will be impossible for you to form a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship, and dating should be part of the full college experience. If you're convinced you must remain faithful to that person at home, you'll purposely avoid going out with meeting new friends on your mind. Not to mention you'll end up sounding like a popular anti-drug campaign— here's an example: "Would you like to go out Friday?" "No." "Would you like to go out Saturday?" "No." "Sunday?" "No." Thus, "just say no" will become addictive, and you will miss out on a very big part of the college experience: dating and getting to know a person in a way no one else can. Like friendship, dating allows you to learn more about yourself through others, but in a different way. The love two friends share is different than the love two people dating may one day share. Dating provides you with a chance to learn about the feelings and emotions hidden within yourself. As a result you will grow and mature, but shutting yourself off from anyone you think may one day like you in a way that could lead to dating may result in your missing out on making some of your closest friends. You may also miss what could have been the most compatible girlfriend or boyfriend you could ever meet. There is also an unbelievable amountof stress involved in wanting to go out but wanting to be "true," and the average collegestudent, I would be willing to bet, doesn't need any additional pressures. Finding time to study in an effort to attain and maintain a good G.P.A is stressful enough without trying to find time to keep in touch with people far away. Picture the following scenario. Jack hasonly been here at ASU for one week, and he already wants to go home. Jack misses Jill, and as a result Jack goes home every weekend to see Jill. While at home he misses an entire weekend of social activities: a huge party, a football game, and a D.J. Dance at Legends. Many people at­ tended, perhaps some hoping to meet new pteople, but Jack wasn't there and unfortunately he missed an opportunity to meet anyone and a chance to become closer to pteople he has just recently met. So, it's obvious to me, and I hopre to you, that having a long-distance relationship can cause you to miss out on many of the opportunities college has to offer, especially the opp»rtunity to meet new and interesting people. Don't pick up that phone yet — there's more. Don't slam the door in the person's face who you've been dating for six years or even six weeks. However, don't slam the door in the person's face you just met six days ago. Don't avoid making new friendships, but don't" ruin the already perfectly good friendships you have, either. Now, as much I hate to recite my parent's advice (because you've probably heard it a thousand times, and each time it makes you sicker), 'True love can wait." There, I said it. Tell your boyfriend or girlfriend that you think it would be best for both of you to date other pieople. If they go for it, great. If they don't, try to come to some kind of mutual agreement and then try it out. When fall break comes, go home and sp>end some time together. You may find the two of you have grown apart, but you may be surprised to find you are closer than ever. After all, how can you be sure it's true love until you've truly tested it? Editor's Note: Gira is a freshman from Lucost, N.C. Advanced technology may have gone too far Life support machines may prolong bodily functions but ignore the quality of life By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Staff Writer Seven years ago, Nancy Cruzan (now age 32) was in a car accident. Due to lack of oxygen to her brain during the critical minutes afterward, her cerebral cortex can no longer function. Therefore, she will never again regain consciousness. However, her medulla oblongata, the stem attached to the lower part of the brain which regulates automatic functions such as breathing and heartbeat, continues to function. Four weeks after her accident, a feed­ ing tube was surgically inserted into her stomach to pjrovide the nutrition neces­ sary to keep her alive. At that time, there was still hopie for recovery. Now Cruzan has been diagnosed as being in a "persis­ tent vegetative state." She could stay this way for as long as 30 years unless her doctors remove her feeding tube. Cruzan's family requested that her feeding tube be removed, so she could go and be with God. However, the courts of the state of Missouri have denied this request, their justification being that "life is precious and worthy of preserving withoutregard to its quality."The court's interest in preserving life regardless of its state overrides theCruzans' wishes, which are based on their Christian beliefs. THE FAR SIDE Is life worth preserving regardless of its condition? This question has become a hot topic of debate, not only in the Cruzan case but also in many others in which the victim hasno hopie of recovery and is kept alive only by advanced medical technol­ ogy. The courts of Missouri and all others who are against euthanasia for these patients declare that we, as human beings, have no right to take the life of an­ other human being under any circum­ stance. The Fifth Commandment, "Thou shah not kill," has often been used as justifica­ tion. This certainly is avalid point. God gave life and he is the only one who can take it away. However, does he intend for us to use machines and tubes created by advanced medicine to keep our bodies functioning long after all hopie of living a life of quality and purpose, as we know it, is long gone? a topic of much debate. InNancy Cruzan's case, the question of terminal illness comes to mind. Cruzan is not technically consid­ ered a terminally ill patient, due to thefact that she could live another 30 years in her condition. 'Terminal illness" implies that death is expected within a short period of time. There­ fore, according to the state of Mis­ souri, Cruzan's feeding tube is not prolonging but sus­ taining her life, and the removal of this tube would not be withdrawal of ex­ cess treatment but an attempt to kill her. However, inher condition, Cruzan will never laugh, cry, dream, feel pain or even recognize her family again. She could piersisrin a comatose, vegetative state, between life and death, for the next 30 years, sustained not by her own means but by the means of man-made machinery. against euthanasia, in asking the question of where todraw the line, would argue that if pjatients in a vegetative state are not leading lives worth preserving, then Alzheimer's patients who will evieritually reach the pxiint of total mental deteriora­ tion could also beconsidered to be leading lives of little quality. However, there is a difference. As long as these patients can still feel physical pain and human emo­ tion, as long as they can still dream, as long as they can still participate in some form of a relationship with God, they are living lives of quality that are well worth preserving. There has been aquestion regarding the "quality of life" of, for example, Down's syndrome or Alzheimer's patients. Those Editor's Note: Tarleton is a sophomore from Wilson, N.C.

Suddenly, Professor Liebowitz realizes he has come to the seminar without his duck. Ancl heard from the Anderson brothers again. n0 one ever Nancy Cruzan herself oncesaid thatshe would not want to live unless she could be "at least halfway normal." This is what we would regard as quality of life worth pierserving—being able to participate in at least some of the things that humans en­ joy, such as a relationship with God and with one's family. Human life is a very precious creation of God and we should make all efforts to preserve it; however, when one is being kept alive only by manmade technology and machinery and has no hopie of liv ing without it, it is time to let the pierson go and be with God. This table was absolutely legal. Two rules restrict campaigning: none may be done within 50 feet of a polling place on election day, and no registrar can campaign for a candidate or party while he or she is registering voters. Informa­ tion tables, even if only a foot away, are legal at any registration as long as the registrar is non-partisan in the performance of his or her duties. This particular table was not sponsored by, nor did it need the approval of, the SGA. If the republicans had wanted to set up a similar table, they would have been equally entitled to do so. The actual registration table was a strictly non-partisan affair sponsored by the SGA, with both republican and democrat registrars present. The only non-partisan act occurred when a republican student registrar attempted to influence registering voters by telling them loudly that what the democrats were doing was illegal. She was wrong—twice. A few other student republicans tried to impiede the distribution of voter information. Where these individuals picked up the idea that voters are legally required to be uninformed is beyond me. Efforts to educate the voters on the issues should be applauded, no) attacked. The papiers the democrats passed out included a brief biography of Mr. Gantt, specifics on Mr. Helm's voting record and a comparison of Mr. Gantt's and Mr. Helm's pxisition on education, the environment and privacy rights. This is exactly the kind of information voters should demand from all candidates. When only one party or one candi­ date takes the initiative to discuss the issues, the other has nothing to complain about.

The increase is meant so the fund can keep pace with inflation and the increase in textbook costs," Zimmerman said. Zimmerman said he was "keenly aware" of the budget cuts affecting the school while also maintaining that this is the third consecutive year of the state's budget re­ cession. According to Zimmerman, the state has given the university a "negative fund" of $860,000 in its budget this year, which means when the state approved the ASU budget for the fiscal year, they ap­ proved a budget with the above deficit included in it. The number given was one the vice chancellor said he did not like. Zimmerman said ASU on the whole has not suffered the same economic woes that other UNC system schools have felt, but the campus has not been immune from trouble either. The General Assembly said the university must take $375,110 from ASU salaries and wages in order to lessen the blow of the negative fund. On the administrativelevel, Zimmerman said the offices of academic affairs and business affairs are taking "the lion's share."

Dorm elevators open door to safety questions By THOMAS RIGGINS Assistant News Editor Ninety-one complaints about elevators icampus have been registered with ASU curity since the beginning of fall se­ tter, including 15 incidents where epic have been stranded in elevators. Problems range from slow downs to eakdowns, and security logged 19comlints during the first week of classes. iut people were stuck on elevators: two BelkHall, one in Cone Hall, and one in t new business building. "We are at a time at ASU where we ve the highest occupancy in the resi­ dence halls and a higher use of elevators. (In the) first week of school there is a heavy use of the elevators; you arc going to have elevators go down,"said Douglas H. Canipe, director of residence facilities. Cynthia Cox, a resident assistant and vice president of Coltrane Hall's Resi­ dent Student Association,said:"I've been stuck on the elevator in Coltrane, but it was for only about five minutes. Coltrane has a lot of problems; it makes everyone mad that the elevators were serviced over the summer and it didn't do any good." Canipe said that he didn't recall anyone being stranded in an elevator for an exten­ sive length of time. "I don't think anyone has been stuck for longer than 15 minutes; our response time to a call is quick," he said. All of ASU's elevators are serviced and maintained by an outside contracted company, Montgomery Elevator Com­ pany, according to Canipe. Montgomery provides a technician to service elevators 24 hours a day. Canipe explained that if there is a breakdown in an elevator due to mechani­ cal failure, it is covered by Montgomery's contract. If the breakdown is due to van­ dalism, ASU incurs a service charge. "We feel an outside contract is more economical to maintain than having an inhousc department," said Canipe. In January Steve Boyles, service man­ ager for Montgomery, did an evaluation of ASU's elevators. He noted that about half of the elevators on campus were manufactured by Westbrook Elevator Company, which closed approximately 20 years ago. "All of these elevators are becoming harder to maintain and locate replacement parts," Boyles said. "Many of our elevators are not top notch, but they meet requirements; we saved money on the finishings such as the control panels," said Canipe. Campus elevators are an average of 20years-old. According to Canipe, ASU plans to spend $325,000 on service of elevators between 1991 and 1994. Doughton Residence Hall, which is 27years-old, isscheduled toreceive $130,000 in elevatorrenovation, some of which will go towards a second elevator. Boyles said that there are problem ar­ eas with campus elevators in addition to maintenance concern. "Many changes in the codes affecting elevators have occurred in the last 20 years. The major changes that affect your older equipment are the requirements that deal with fire service and handicapped updates," he said. Under current regulations, elevators are required to be equipped with a recall de­ vice that sends them to the first floor when the fire alarm is activated. Canipe noted that ASU is exempt from this code be­ cause of a "grandfather clause:" the university's elevators were in operation before the regulations took effect. "Only Frank and Belk have the recall device. ASU's elevators are also exempt from handicap regulations under the grandfather clause," Canipe said. "Montgomery feels vandalism is an­ other major problem with the elevators on campus," said Canipe. So far this fall, there have been two reported cases of vandalism: a hatch doorremoved from an elevator in Cone Hall and guide wires broken for the doors in Coltrane. School of Arts leaves UNCASG panel Charges dismissed By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian News Editor The North Carolina School of the Arts Winston-Salem surprised fellow del­ ates at last Friday's meeting of the Uni*sity of North Carolina Association of hdent Governments by resigning from ® organization. mrnrn. J/'4 Under Article III, Section 4 of the new constitution passed by the association only two hours beforehand, the arts school announced its departure, citing general differences between theschool and the 15 other schools which are members of the UNC system. "We will continue to support issues that other institutions in the association may not, simply to benefit the welfare of our artistic campus community," NCSA Student Advisory Chairperson Preston Lane said to the association. Lane cited that the NCSA is not a fouryear institution in comparison to the other schools in the system making the school, according to Lane, "different in our very creation." - Appaischisn rnoio oy bnawn u r«eai NOOL OF ARTS STUDENT LEADERS SURPRISE resigned from the UNC Association of Student Governments. DyERNMENT UNION WITH THEIR RESIGNATION: NCSA Student Advisory Council President Preston Lane said his ,e Winston-Salem based North Carolina School of the Arts school doesn't fit in the grand scheme of the UNCASG. Lane said in his resignation address: "Issues arise concerning our students that don't have to do all the time with the budget. I have sensed the difference be­ tween the School of the Arts and the other system schools even more than I ever have before, and I really don't think it benefits us and the UNCASG to have the School of the Arts (in the organization)." ASU's SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent said the UNCASG at this point in time needs more emphasis on unity, with all UNC system schools working together to benefit their respective universities. "I thought it was unfortunate that they chose to resign. They did damage to the unity of the group as a whole. However, they werecompletely withinconstitutional grounds to do so," Ghent said. The meeting, held at ASU's Broyhill Center, did make positive progress on issues such as budget reform with the recommendation for the General Assem­ bly to vote for a statewide lottery to assist with educational funding. (See related article aboveand on page six.) According to Ghent, the meeting was much better than the past UNCASG meeting held in Chapel Hill, which the vicepresidentcallcd "a fiasco." Only nine of the 16 schools in the UNCASG were present at the meeting, including the now departed NCSA. The next meeting of the group will be on Oct. 18 at UNC-Charlotte in what was de­ scribed by the UNCC delegation as a "lock-in," forcing the group to conduct "necessary business." One of the issues the UNCASG will discuss is the feasibil­ ity of the group'sproposed incorporation, which was struck from the original draft of thenewconstitution passed Friday night.

This year, communi­ cations and media on the ASU campus are graced with three new leaders. Rae Beasley, Elaine Carol Minton and Tony Peters seems to have things well in hand at their new jobs as editor of "The Appala­ chian," editor of "The Rhododendron" and station manager at WASU, respectively. "Appalachian" Editor Rae Beasley is a senior majoring in English with a concentration in jour­ nalism and minoring in communications media. Beasley was previously assistant news editor for "The Appalachian" and also has worked for "The News Herald" in Morganton, N.C. "Our goal, always, is to report accurately and fairly...and to remain unbiased in our articles," Beasley said. 'To ensure a regular circulation of about 7^00 newspapers, Beasley must oversee editorial, pro­ duction and advertising departments as well as 11 editors and their five sections of the paper. In all. "The Appalachian," which is student operated," dron" will be entirely computer generated. "This has a staff of approximately 150 students.

Peters ismajoring in broadcasting and has worked for 91 ROCK all four years of his college career. Peters teaches two disc jockey classes on campus for those interested in going on the air. The station employs about 200 people, including 35 full-time DJs. Other jobs at the station include newscasting, sportscasting, public relations, ad­ vertising and writing opportunities. "I think that it almost should be a requirement, if you're a communications major, to work at W ASU for one semester," Peters commented. WASU broadcasts 24 hours a day, all week long. Weekdays feature "college music" which is a mix of rock'n'roll, progressive and various new bands. On the weekends, the stations plays a wide variety of music including heavy metal, jazz, blues, reggae, international, country and oldies. Beasley, Minton and Peters are this year's media supervisors, and they are working hard for the students at ASU. Each expressed how easy it is to get involved with the campus media and encour­ aged those with an interest to pursue it. Quinn Center offers class promoting self-defense By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer Last Tuesday night at 7:30, p.m. I had the opportunity to take my frustrations and punnel them into an imaginary assailant. I felt that to effectively write an article about the self-defense class offered at the Quinn Center, my participation was necessary. When I ran onto the aerobic mat (late as usual), I stood facing this energetic man with raised fists and a black belt tied securely around his waist. The first thing I thought to myself was, "Oh Canda, you're taking karate!" Karate always sounded so much more serious than saying"self-defense." As I know now, whatever it is called, after ope class I feel this tiny, vulnerable, 5 foot blond is 100 percent moreconfident about walking places alone. Larry Bullardstarted hiskarate training in Boone in 1969, and he became an assistant instructor Ptiolo courtesy of the Quinn Center SELF-DEFENSE: A class is taught on Tuesday nights at 7:30 P.M. on the aerobic mats in the Quinn under Lee Farmer only two years later.

Bullard alsoexplains that,"Each weekly workout will be like a separate seminar." The same and also new strategies will be taught in this class so the beginners will not feel out of place, but the regular students will get to practice and learn new strate­ gies. There are certain basic techniques taught at each workout. Everyone knows how to punch and kick from just watching television, but Bullard teaches the class where to punch and kick the opponent. The aim of the punches could decide between getting away or being a seriously injured victim. He teaches the class how to escape the assailant when he is grasped from behind, the wrists and the shoulders. Bullard smiles and says, "The genius of anything is keeping it simple." Learning simple punches and kicks and aiming for the most painful parts of my opponent could save my life one day. And it is free! See QUINN page 4 Legal advice sought in Workman Hall Concerning traffic violations, alcohol violations, DWIs, residential and family disputes Bv LAURIE BAUCHMAN Appalachian Staff Writer The office of Legal Services can be a valuable resource to students who find themselves faced with legal concerns. Students can find answers to their questions and guidance from a legal profes­ sional in making decisions about their situations. Legal Services is open only to ASU students. There is no fee involved and all matters discussed are kept strictly confidential. The service is run by attorney Wade E. Brown and senior Rob Brown, a criminal justice major, who works as an intern. Students come to them with various legal prob­ lems including traffic violations, DWI's and other alcohol offenses, problems concerning noise ordi­ nances, family matters and landlord and tenant disputes. The office of Legal Services, however, does not handlecases involving one student versus another. Situations of this type would instead be dealt with through the Student Judiciary and Stu­ dent Court. Brown has been working with Legal Services at While the attorney cannot represent the student ASU since his arrival in 1980.

Italian food service and market grace west campus By KATRINA WITTKAMP Appalachian SUIT Writer The Ned R. Trivette Hall, which is the building under construction behind the duck pond, will not only contain an Italian restaurant, but also an expanded Market. The new store will have an enlarged frozen food section and refrigerated display, as well as more dairy products, meats and new dry-shelf products. The extra room will also allow for fresh fruit stands and more storage space. The Trivette Market will be a total of 2,500 square feet, with another 500square feet of storage space making it five times larger than the market in Welbom Hall. The planned 225-seat Italian restaurant will serve pizza by the slice, pasta, Italian subs and sand­ wiches along with may other student requested items. "Student requests brought about the idea," said Ron Dubberly, director of ASU Food Ser­ vices. Dubberly described the current Market as test^T^g-oun^onhtMrewjuEtfkjn^ to understand what the students wanted before opening up a major store. It's given us a lot of experience." Dubberly also said plans for even another Market in the student union might result in the closing of the Welborn location. "It all depends upon the student response to the new market,"said Dubberly.

Sales at Welbom Market started out drastically low in the beginning, but then increased when students were allowed to use their meal cards at the store. The planned date for opening Trivette Hall is scheduled sometime in the Fall of 1991, depending on the construction accomplished before winter.

When asked about the importance of fall scrimmages, Morris stated their pur­ pose centers around three or four goals. "We've still got to cut about 10 guys, so we're still evaluating, trying to get in condition, and we're also trying to work on a lot of situations," Morris said.

Mountaineers fall to High Point, 4-2 By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer Injuries and missed opportunities plagued Coach Art Rex's men's soccer squad Wednesday as they fell 4-2 to High Point. Co-captain and starting defender Jim Bctts was unable to play due to an ankle injury, and fellow defenseman Jeremy Mittag was prohibited from any action by knee problems. The Mountaineers were trying to re­ cover from two very close losses at the hands of regionally ranked foes, Wake Forest and South Carolina. High Point represented the NAIA's fifth ranked team going into last weeks' contest. "They were a very physical team and gave us a lot of problems," Rex said. "They went after the ball hard." Carlos Lee assisted sophomore David Terry for the Apps only goal in the first half as the Mountaineers were down 2-1 going into the locker room. The Lee to Terry combination was successful again early in the second period, knotting the match at 2-2. Momentum swung the Mountaineers way following the goal, but they could not capitalize on several shot opportunities. "We had lots of good chances," Rex said. "We just weren't finishing them off. They (High Point) played very well and we played poorly." "High Point played the best game they could have, and we didn'trcspond,"Terry said. "I thought that after we played so well at South Carolina, we would be able to win this one." According to Rex, the sluggish tempo of the second half hindered ASU tre­ mendously. Due in part to High Point's physical play, the officials called many fouls. These infractions allowed the opponent time to get downficld and set up its defense, sub- scquently neutralizing Appalachian's transition-style attack. "The tempo, with all the stoppages, played into their hands and away from ours," Rex said. "If I had to do anything differently, I would havescheduled more time between the South Carolina match and this one," Rex said."But to be honest, I didn'texpect any problems. This is a senior-dominated team, and there should be no letdowns." ASU will play its first home game of die season Wednesday, Sept. 19, against UNC-Asheville in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The match is schedule to begin at 7 p.m. Junior college transfers fill holes in Mountaineer line-up By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer When Appalachian's 1989 football campaign ended in the first round of the IAA playoffs, Head Coach Jerry Moore had a huge dilemma staring at him and his Mountaineer program.Fourof ASU's five starting offensive linemen were seniors, and the 24-21 loss to Middle Tennessee State ended their collegiate careers and || put the once-stable ASU offensive front in disarray. Moore solved the problem by signing seven junior college offensive linemen. ASU also picked up two other junior college players, bringing the total number of new transfers to nine. The transfers brought with them experience, maturity, talent and, of course, a number of ques­ tions. The nine junior college transfers ASU signed were the most of any Southern Conference school. In fact, only three other junior college transfers joined league teams for this season. The other seven teams chose to concentrate their recruit­ ing efforts on high school players (See graph)) Wi ih the exception of Western Carolina, Appalachian lost more starters and lcttermen than any team in the confer­ ence. ASU's situation was unique, as was Moore's solution. NEWCOMERS TO 1990 SQUADS es exclude walk-on athletes Moore explained: "When you recruit junior college players, you do so for a specific nejed. We lost foutof our starting fiveoffensiVelinemen. With the schedule we knew that would be facing us this year, we needed mature, older players. I don't think that there is any way a 19-year-old could comein and beeffective right away." The foresight seems to have paid off thus far. Five of the players, Kit Hill, John Colbert, Wesley Charles, Tony Leonard and Dustin Reeves, have either started a game or seen extensive action. Hill has started every game this year, while Charles and Colbert have started one game and are projected to start thisSaturday atClcmson. David Browning, Appalachian's of­ fensive line coach, said, "They're all do­ ing well. As many as three of them are starting at one time. Without them we would have a depth problem. "There is no way we could have gone out and gotten seven high school players of lhiscalibcr. These kids have participated in college athletics. We were able to coach them in the spring, something we couldn't have done with high school players. Several of them arc academic All-Americans. It was just an overall good decision." The group came to ASU with sparkling credentials. Offensive linemen Charles, Colbert, Hill, Reeves, Ronald Prince, Ja­ son Budingcr and Eric Roberts were allconference selections at their respective junior colleges. Leonard, a defensive linemen, was also named all-conference. They are all bigger, stronger and much more experienced than the average player right out of high school. Colbert, a 6'2", 270-pound junior from Junction City, Kan., wasan all-conference performer at Dodge City Community College. According to him, the two years he spent at Dodge City was the best thing for him. "One advantage was getting here and being able to start on my major right away,"Colbert explained. "Juniorcollege is a great thing for students. I was able to get all my general college requirements out of the way. "Alhletically,"Colbcrtcontinucd,"you get a lot of big-time experience in junior college. I played against guys who are no w at Tennessee, University of Houston, Northwestern, and Mississippi State. That experience has helped me a lot." The life of a junior college transfer is not easy, however. There is the problem, Colbert explained, of fitting in with the program and being accepted. The players also didn't come to Boone as perfect players, something that both coaches and players agree on. "They do have to learn our system," Moore said. "These guys may make a mistake or two; I'm sure they will, but what matters to me is that they are giving a great effort. As long as the effort is there, they'll do fine." "They obviously don't have the expe­ rience that last year's group had," Browning said. "We're having to teach them the program, whereas last year they were already in place. Physically, the players last year were stronger." "I can improve first by quitting the mental mistakes," Colbert said. "Some­ times I get up there and worry about missing an assignment. Pass blocking seems to be tougher because the defensive players are faster. "Overall, I don't feel like I've played that great, but I can get better. My first start was against Wake Forest so that may have been part of it. I might have been a little nervous." Even so, Colbert and his "juco" pals have done quite well. Moore is happy with their progress and contributions to the team. The Mountaineers completed lastyear's season with a lot of questions concerning the offensive font,and perhaps Moore and his staff have found the answers in the installation of the junior college transfers. The newcomers have definitely been forced to step up their caliber of football, advancing not just to an I-AA school, but to one that meets three I-A opponents this season. The test of time is yet to come. �>• The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Wanted: students opposing fee hike -s Over the past few years, students have seen a steady increase in student fees, 'hat used to be a relatively inexpensive university is slowly becoming more (pensive. With this year'sraise in student fees, students should be concerned id use their collective voices to question these increases. If it continues, ime students will be forced to drop out of school simply because they can't ford it. This year's increases will amount to $270. These increases include a $100 lgment in housing (rooms with phones), a hike in the book rental fee by $ 15, 534 increase in athletic fees, $70 isslotted for the student union fee, $23 will ind student activities and $12 is slated for health services. Student fees at ASU go to many important facets in the university. They low students admission into all home sporting events; they fund worthwhile •ganizations on campus and allow students to rent textbooks rather than buy em. Yet, students are becoming concerned as to why the university needs lis extracash flow. Why does residence life need $ 100 from each on-campus .udent? Why are the athletic fees rising at an increase of $13? What is this toney for? When is enough enough? When do representatives and Board of Trustee lembcrs begin to understand that'raising tuition increases the drop out rate ^tiong students. All these extra things are great, but when students are not ""sing educated because they cannot afford tuition then we need to re-examine jr priorities. Do we really need new athletic supplies? Could people who ish to attend games buy tickets at a nominal price? This Wednesday night, SGA is sponsoring a forum to discuss tuition and < increases. Students should attend and ask the state representatives present iese important questions. We encourage the Board of Trustees to attend the meeting and hear student tinion before it casts a vote on this issue. Students would like a chance to cpress their concerns about this issue. Fee increases affect everyone. Don't sit around and complain about how udent fees are going up and you can't do anything about it. SGA is giving )u your chance Wednesday night. Go to the forum to express your opinion i the fee increases and make a difference. With student actions and input, 3A is allowing our representatives to hear our views on the subject, and Cse representatives may be able to stop the increases that keep occurring p. year. In previous years, SGA has tried to perceive what students at ASU feel is 1 iportant. This year, they have proclaimed themselves as the voice of the I udents.andthisisanexampleofhowthey have started to work for you. The turn is a great opportunity for the students on this campus to be heard, and | encourage SGA to keep working for the students by providing students ith other forums in which they can express their ideas. Avoid waste with simple cut backs Faced with these unpleasant fee increases, I believe we should automatically search for ways to cut back. I feel safe in saying that none of the North Carolina university system schools run as efficiently as they could. Does anything? We have already experienced numerous cuts by way of teaching positions not being filled and new library re­ sources not being ordered. The not-so-obvious cutbacks are the ones that come from changing a few wasteful habi ts. Saving a tank of gas here or turning off a light there can eventually make a difference. Hope Harvey I hate to use lawn mowing as an example of how we can cut back in a small way, but it gets the point across. I am sure that all of the 16 state supported institutions would see any reasoning for this act, and she concluded that it have a similar example, so I want to stress that I am not must be a safety regulation. If one of the state employees picking on our staff here at ASU. was to fall from the lawn mower there would be plenty of If you were in Boone this summer, you couldn't help people to assist him with his injuries or to get him back up but notice the riding lawn mower convoy. Did you ever on his cutting machine. Since there was plenty of assis­ count how many people it took to mow the small grassy tance available, he couldn't sue the state. area in front of Smith-Wright?

However, it was unusual mowing process at ASU if 1 had not run up on a hilarious to see three grown men working on an area of grass that scene this summer. Picture this: four grown men with would take a 16-year-old about 10 minutes or less to cut. lawn mowers.

A third gentlemen uses a push mower across the way to cut Another way to save energy and therefore money is to the border grass. The fourth gentleman leans leisurely cut lights off when they are not needed. Last Sunday against the truck which brought the mowers to the center morning I was preparing for a canoe trip and woke up of campus with yet another riding mower waiting to go. around 6:30 a.m. It was messy outside with heavy fog and Now, maybe this would not have been so bad if it had not a light drizzle. As I focused my sleepy eyes out my all been taking place in front of Smith-Wright. bedroom window I noticed it was awfully bright for so early in the morning, and realized that the illumination I asked a few classmates if they could find any logic in was coming from the stadium. this procedure. One friend suggested that they do this to get a close, even cut that looks great and gets every single Yes, that's right folks. Those big, bright bulbs in the blade of grass. I asked one of my professors if she could stadium lights were going strong at 6:30 on a Sunday morning. I don't believe Coach Moore had his team out there practicing after the Wake game, and I can't fathom who in their right mind would want to get out and walk or run in such adverse conditions. I'm hoping that there was a valid reason for those lights to be on at such an hour, but I haven't heard one yet. It is awful to point out such picky details about where waste comes from and how much it costs. However, when I saw that students would probably have to pay anywhere from $170 to $270 more next year for a quality education. I immediately thought about how much power is needlessly wasted on this as well as other university campuses. When the price of vegetables goes up, are you not more choosy about which apple or tomato you put in your cart? When the price of gas rose last month, did you not think of how you could get from A to B with the most efficiency and the least cost? The entire state university system should employ these thought tactics in order to pinch pennies in every possible way. The revenueis just not coming in fast enough to support the educational needs of North Carolinians. Our repre­ sentatives in Raleigh do not want to tax our killer cash crop, the evil tobacco, nor do they see fit to set up a lottery, which they believe is glorified gambling. However, they are quick to ask the working men and women to fork over more money so little Johnny or Sally can receive some­ thing besides a high school diploma and a place on an assembly line. The big picture has been splattered with a bucket of bureaucratic red paint, and we must all search for ways to assist our government in making budget cuts that are reasonable and that work well for all of our educational institutions. Editor's Note: Harvey is a senior majoring in Biology. Supreme Court upholds Equal Access Act Religious clubs and organizations have a place in our nations public school system By WILLIAM E. O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Staff Writer "So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of so­ ciety. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year." Who made that statement? Was it: a.) Some backwards fundamentalist preacher who wanted to mandate Bible reading in the public schools; b.) Gorbachev; c.) Pat Robertson; d.) Both a & c; or e.) John Quincy Adams. The two students who unsuccessfully tried to start a Bible-reading club at Westside High School in Omaha, Neb. in January of 1985 probably could tell you the answer. It was John Quincy Adams. Thanks to their court case, students across the country will now be able to hold Bible or prayer clubs on their high school campuses and will hopefully become better citizens be­ cause of it. Who says the students can meet on public school property? The Supreme Court, when they announced over the summer their decision on the Nebraska case, upholding the Equal Access Act of 1984. This act said a school which permits after hours clubs must not prohibit stu­ dents from forming those that are of a religious nature. But, what about the First Amendent? Those who question the recent Supreme Court decision to permit equal access of Bible/prayer clubs on high school cam­ puses seem to have trouble reading the First Amendment. They are quick to quote (if they even know what it says) "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" as if it were proof that there is a total separation of church and state. They fail to read the next statment which is also in the First Amendment and completes the toughts of the previous one, "or pro­ hibiting the free exercise thereof." If you didn't allow students to form their own Bible/prayer clubs, that would violate their First Amendment rights be­ cause they would not be permitted the "free exercise" of their faith. What if the members of these clubs became obnox­ ious and pushy to other studnts after being permitted to form their group? Of course, if they became disruptive they would need to be disbanded- just as any disruptive group would need to be, religious based or not. The People for the (so-called) Ameri­ can Way reacted in a predictable way. They said they were fearful that "impres­ sionable children" might think the school was favoring a particular faith and would be unduly subjected to religious ideas. That's very interesting. For one thing, the PAW seems to want to use "scare" tactics by making us overlook the fact this was a ruling which affects only high schools. Even if it didn't just apply to high schools, what about the way it has been? Thousands fo real "impressionable chil­ dren" have grownup thinking thatreligion is not a very important part of anybody's life, not even the early settlersof our great country. Examine the texts used in most public schools. A few years ago, several studies (even one done by the PAW) showed they had omitted many of the facts when it came to the influence of religion on the early settlers to America. What's the big deal? Well, if school is supposed to educate students about what's important in life, and it is virtually silent on how the people's religious faith posi­ tively influenced their actions, then such students will be impressed with the idea that beliefs about God are unimportant or harmful (especially if they read the daily news.) Permitting students to form their own Bible or prayer clubs is a positive step that could correct this subtle form of censor­ ship. Otherwise a student may go through the public schools thinking something like this:"School addresses issues that are important to my life. Since there's barely any mention of God or religion and reli­ gious groups can't meet at school, it must not be important." Let's not forget that a non-belief in (or omitting the historical influence of) God reflects just as much of a kind of belief (or statement) as it's opposite. So, virtual silence or omission of the topic speaks just as loud as words for or against it Cheers to the Supreme Court for mak­ ing a wise decision, this time. Editor's Note: O'Flaherty is an ASU graduate. Enough is enough THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON "That time was just too close, George! Jimmy was headed straight for the snake pit when I grabbed him!" THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON "And, during my term, I'm looking forward to a kinder, gentler cave, with a thousand points of darkness showing us the way." To the Editor: Does this sound familiar? —Class size exceeding seat capacity —Full-time faculty workloads doubled as a result of the elimination of part-time faculty. —Class sections cancelled after registration. There is one single factor behind these problems: our state government Our public servants, paid with our money, have betrayed us. They have backed out on their committment to higher education by their massive and maliciously timed budget slashing. Not only did they cut the university system's budget a drastic five percent, which is 50 million dollars from all 16 universi­ ties, but they also raised tuition $41.50 and claimed it to be a "one-time" student fee. Although each university is struggling through these cuts in a different manner, the end result is the same: a lower quality of education on our campuses. Our only recourse is united action. No university alone has a strong enough voice to reverse this wrong. Together we have the power to stand up and do the right thing. To effectively fight for a quality education, we must become one, under one name, the North Carolina Union of Students. This group, our group, is not a political party. It's not a liberal or conservative group. It's not controlled by your student government. NCUS is forming as you read this. Its purpose is to concct the wrong of the budget cuts. It is composed of all of us and run by all of us. Now is the call for each campus to begin organizing. This is everyone's fight. Don't wait for your student government to take action, and don't exclude yourself when "another group" begins organizing. We are all one...College Democrats, College Republicans, greeks, non-greeks, liberal arts and engineering. We must all work together. To begin on your campus: 1) Make sure everyone on your campus knows how budget cuts are affecting them. 2) Hold open meetings to get everyone involved and discuss the problem. At these meetings, keep a roster of those attending and encourage others to take part in further organiza­ tion. 3) Those of you who are taking the initiative and are organizing your campus need to send your name(s), addrcss(es), and phone numbers(s) to me so all universities can be linked and you can have a complete list of contacts. Remember, if you're not part of the solution, then you're a victim. Join your fight: Join the NCUS! Thank you, Thomas Williams, UNCC 1817 Hall Ave. Charlotte, NC 28205 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

The fact you are in college will not :mpt you from being called up if you in the army reserves," according to Lt. 1. Claude Cooper. \SU students who are members of the iy reserve could be called into active y to serve in Saudi Arabia or to fill iitions left open by troops sent to the sian Gulf. Cooper said, 'The longer situation continues the more likely erves could be called up." According to Cooper there are 25 to 30 students at ASU who are in both the ROTC program and army reserves. Colleges typically don't know how many of their students are subject to military call-up. When Iraq invaded Kuwait Aug. 2, President Bush sent 40,000 U.S. troops to the Persian Gulf to defend against a pos­ sible Iraqi invasion of Saudi Arabia. Orginally, Pentagon officials thoughtonly 100,000 soldiers would be needed, but raised the figure to 250,000 a week later. On Aug. 22, Bush said he would acti­ vate 40,000 reservists to support and re­ place the troops he had already sent to the Persian Gulf region. It was the first time reservists had been called to active duty since the Tet Offensive in Vietman in 1968. A federal law exists protecting the jobs of workers who are called to duty, yet there is no law protecting students, ac­ cording to Joe Hanley, spokesman for the U.S. Army Reserves. Henley estimated that 61 percent of his group's 579,000 members are full- or part-time college students. Jeff Slocum, an ASU student, wascalled to report three days after classes started. Manning Huske, Jeff's step-father, said: "Jeff reported for duty on Aug. 28. Jeff has no idea when he can come back to school. He was disappointed but recog­ nized it was his responsibility." Slocum served three years active duty when he graduated from high school and is now stationed at Fort Dix, N.J. as part of a reserve medical unit. Another ASU student, Ren Ramsey, who is a member of Individual Ready Reserves, has been ordered to report and update his records. According to Ramsey: "IRR don't attend regular drill, but we report once a year to update our records and have a physical. I did that in February and then the Army called wanting me to do it again; I asked why and they said it was because of the Gulf crisis." If students are called into active duty, they are allowed to withdraw from classes, explained Barbara Daye, Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Development. According to Daye, three ASU students have withdrawn: "People on our campus are very pro-active in trying to make it as easy as possible for those who have to go; we have contacted federal agencies re­ sponsible for regulations concerning fi­ nancial aid and sent letters to Congress telling them of the problems students will face if they are called up." Tom Wright, Director of Finance said, "Students will receive a 100 percent re­ fund of their tuition." The crisis in the Gulf has had little effect on the ROTC program at ASU. Cadet Captain Dean Britt said,'They told us they may be a little harder on us." According to Cooper, "The Army is getting smaller because of budget cuts and the outbreak of peace in Europe. Before, we had target numbers for ROTC commissions and contracts; now, there is a cap on the number we can take. The Middle East has not impacted on the ROTC. We still encourage freshmen to join the ROTC; however, some will not get a commission. Cooper said, "No one wants to bepulled out of college, but students should look at it as a valuable experience. After serving, continue to work for a college degree." Editors note: College Press Service contributed to this article. Ilimling likes ASU's "sense of unity" 1on-urban campus proves beneficial for involvement, says Blimling By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Newt Editor "hough Vice Chancellor for Student 'elopment Dr. Greg Blimling has only :ked at his new post for a little over two nths, a new "five-year strategic plan" the student development office is al­ ly in effect. )ne of the most important changes, jrding to Blimling, is the presentation new mission statement outlining the es of his department.

It's been my experience in student slopment programs that the programs much stronger at universities of this compared to larger schools,"Blimling The vice chancellor has specialized in working withstudent leadershipprograms at institutions of all sizes. Before serving as dean of students at LSU with a student body of roughly 30,000, he served as a residence hall director at Bowling Green State University in Ohio from 1974 to 1976. Later, he was an assistant director of residence life at Western Illinois Uni­ versity. Residence life and how it relates to the atmosphere on a col­ lege campus is a fa­ miliar subject to Blimling. According to Blimling, residence halls are the first and best place to promote growth and develop­ ment. His professional expertise in the field led him to write five books on the subject. One of his books titled, "The Resident Assistant: Working with College Students," has been used in the required course for ASU RAsforsix years, according to ASU Director of Residence Life Bob Dunnigan. here as (the residence life office's) boss," Dunnigan said. Dunnigan said Blimling provides extra support for residence life offices because he is familiar with their task. "What I have seen at this campus is a high degree of involvement," Blimling said. He com­ mented on his first impressions work­ ing with ASU stu­ dents: "People know one another and share a senseof community and co­ operation. All of these things at­ tracted me to the campus." Students often believe that a col­ lege campus iso­ lated from a large city only promotes boredom because of fewer outside activities. Blimling said these colleges often stimulate a greater degree of focus and energy towards aca­ demic pursuits on campus. "Involvement within a campus is often due to not having all the distractions out­ side the campus that cities often have," Blimling said. u It's been my experience in student development programs that the programs are much stronger at universities of this size compared to larger schools. 99 "I think that it's great to have the author of a book we've been using for a long time GIFTED AUTHOR REQUESTS INTELLECTUAL DIS­ COVERY BYSTUDENTS: "All art belongs to all of the people all of the time," noted author and civil rights activist Maya Angelou told a capacity crowd in Varsity Gym yesterday.

Walter Robbs Callahan and Pierce Ar­ chitects of Winston-Salem and Wilbur Smith Associatesof Raleigh said the campus had an "immediate need" for 180 on- campus spaces, with an additional 215 spaces that need to be added"as a result of campus expansion by 1995." In their joint survey, the firms suggested many other changes to the parking status quo includ­ ing: •Addition of more 20-minute visitor spaces in East, Hoey, Lovill and Coffey Residence Hall lots. •More ASU Security officers for gen­ eral parking enforcement at 20-minute spaces. •More spaces for ASU vehicles to load and unload, thereby preventing snarls on campus streets. •Reservation of spaces in the Driving Range, Farthing Auditorium and BroyhiU Music lots in lieu of special events. •Changing Howard Street into a one-way street toward Hardin Street. •A "hang tag" sys­ tem for all students, faculty and staff, re­ placing the parking sticker system. The tag system, first introduced in SGA Senate legislation last year by former Rules Committee Chairman Corky Collins, calls for the elimination of the present parking sticker system. Only one tag, according toCollins last February and the parking study, would be assigned per parking registrant A multiple number of cars could then be registered under the tag number, with the tag easily transferrable between the student's registered cars. The study also reported that the tags could be color coded to a certain parking area, and therefore "enforcement should be easier and more effective," as was written in the study. Walter Robbs Callahan and Pierce said though the parking sticker system is al­ ready a fixture at the university, "a hang tag system should be implemented as soon as possible." Hollis Loveday of Wilbur Smith Associates in Columbia, S.C. said Furman University in Greenville, S.C. is one of the closest examples to ASU of a school using the tag system. According to Loveday, the se­ verely cold weather which causes car windshields to frost up and could possi­ bly prevent security officers from spot­ ting hang tags "can be worked around." Additional park­ ing officers to handle parking regulation enforcement were not needed, according to the study. Presently, one officer handles traffic while two other officers perform regular security patrols. A maximum of 15 students are also used to monitor parking lots and issue citations. 44 We had enough spaces overall (according to the study). The problem was a need for parking up against certain buildings. 99 ApptUchtw Photo by fray Horocfc U1 , tlr rvyrv Rs IN THE RACE FOR PARKING SPACES: summer showed that ASU needed 180additional parkingspaces may take place soon making the parking situation on immediately, with 215 more spaces needed on campus in the l little less tense. A parking study released over the next five years. ASU security was also recommended in the survey to modify the current ticket­ ing system to make room for a new hand­ held computer system that officers can used while on their beats. Single key­ strokes on a hand-held device can list the violation, the time involved and the fine charged. Parking operators at other universities, according to the study, said the system is cost effective for institutions that issue 25,000 tickets a year. The study reported that ASU Security officers handed out a combined total of 19,649 parking tickets last year. Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ward Zimmerman considered the study "charitable" in the amount of overall spaces the study said the university had available. "We had enough spaces overall (ac­ cording to the study). The problem was a need for parking up against certain build­ ings," Zimmerman said. The study implied the addition of a multi-level parkingdeck, preferably in the Driving Range Lot area, which the study called the center of ASU's parking needs. Zimmerman said the addition of a deck is something that the university will need to seriously consider in the future. "If done right, the deck is very feasible...but I don' t know if the demand (for the deck) is there now, and I don't think it would be the best use now of our dollars and sense."

The fewer people in the student's fam­ ily, the higher the student's SAT score tended to be, the study showed. Last October, after her group sponsored a study showing that a large percentage of college seniors didn' t know key historical dates and phrases, Cheney called for col­ leges to implement a 50-hour core cur­ riculum for their humanities programs. The College Board report found that minority students constituted 27 percent of the students who took the SAT, 2 per­ cent more than last year. However, their scores showed little or no improvement. Each August, when averageSAT scores are made public, officials rush to explain why scores rose, fell or stayed the same. In the years since 1963, when average scores began a long slide downward that continues through today, various experts have attributed students' performance to everything from faulty tests to the atmo­ spheric testing of nuclear weaponry dur­ ing the 1950s. 1987-William J. Bennett, then head of the U.S. Department of Education, blamed another year of little change in average scores on schools that wasted tax dollars. "Holding ground is better than losing ground, but we're still seeing an insuffi­ cient payoff for what we're invested in education. We need accountability for results," Bennett said. Here are some more-recent observa­ tions: 1986- Although SAT scores showed no change from 1985, a University of Michi­ gan study contended that "the reason test scores were rising" was that test takers' families generally were getting smaller. 1988- Average scores dipped. Bennett once again blamed the schools, although he did his best to pep them up. "I said in April that 'the absolute level at which our improvements are taking place is unacceptably low.' Today it's a bit lower, and still not acceptable. C'mon team! Back into training." 1989- When years of steady improvement in minority students' average SAT scores ended, it was because some students were being badly prepared again, said Donald M. Stewart of the College Board, which administers the tests. "We believe that score differences among ethnic groups and between men and women reflect wide disparities in academic preparation, or lack of it," he said.

Students had to drive miles to eat a meal and to get a drink, ere were no nightclubs to provide entainment. They decided to call themselves Aplachian Popular Programming Society .P.P.S.) and began to consider the idea it students needed some entertainment, lace to go to hear groups they enjoyed, to see movies they hadn't seen. Yet it i to be inexpensive because college dents didn't have the funds to spend a tune. Taking all this into consideration, s small group set out to try and find the ;t way to go about providing enternment that not only was affordable but s something students would want to : or hear. Some representatives spoke with Todd impbell, then SGA president, and drew i a bill that helped move student proaming from student government into a m single office where more students could get involved. "The task was so large that student government was having trouble assessing the needs of students. The or­ ganization was bogged down and a sepa-, rate committee needed to be formed," Dave Robertson, director of Student Pro­ grams, said. Students needed a place to come to­ gether and spend some time relaxing. So one of the first things A.P.P.S. did was take an old building on the east side of campus, remodel and call it H'Appy's, according to Robertson. A.P.P.S. scheduled band after band, leased film after film, and slowly but surely they put together programming the students seemed to enjoy. One by one, students began to stay on campus on the weekends. They called student program­ ming and requested films or groups they wished to see. Students began to ask how they could get involved in picking out the flicks and the bands. Slowly the group began to grow as more students began to input their ideas and become involved in the preliminary stagesof scheduling bands and leasing films. See A.P.P.S. page 6 AppUtchlvi Photo by Mcoto Quim JOIN THE CELEBRATION: Activities to highlight the anniversary of A.P.P.S. have been planned by the executive council which includes: top row, Lesa Bullock; Matt Mcnaney; Kelly Murphy; Trey Setzer, Vice-President; Rusty Boyd; Melissa Chapin; Paul Fleetwood; bottom row.

The series feares a different performer one Friday ght a month at 9 p.m. in the Pub. The Pub, located on the first floor of the ident union,offers an up-scale nightclub nosphere. The tables are covered with lite linen andcandles provide the lighting as you enjoy an evening of quality enter­ tainment. Maria Howell and the Seventh Street Band will open this year's season bring­ ing jazz, pop and funk to the Pub on Sept. 21. A great performance last year during the Homecoming celebration garnered a strong following for this Charlotte-based group. This will be the first appearance for Howell and the band in the Club Candle­ light series. Some of you may remember Howell from the movie "The Color Purple," singing lead in the church choir. October 26 brings the award winning acoustic and vocal performer, Livingston Taylor to ASU. Taylor's personable style combined with his sharp wit and disarm­ ing humor makes his performance unique among acoustic artists. Brother to James Taylor, Livingston is a recording artist in his own right with several albums and a chart success with"I Will Be In Love With You." Livingston Taylor won Best Folk Acoustic Act and Best Folk Acoustic Al­ bum in last year's Boston Music Awards. "Entertainer of the Year" Tim Settimi returns to Club Candlelight with his vast array of comical diversion. The National Association of Campus Activities deemed Settimi "Entertainer and Performing Art­ ist of the Year" for the past several years. His combination of singing, mime, slap­ stick, ventriloquism, stand-up and music creates a routine that evokes both laughter and tears simultaneously, a quality rare in many comedians today.Settimi, compared by some to Red Skelton, brings a rare show that you will not want to miss. Guitar virtuoso Billy McLaughlin will perform in the Pub Dec. 7. McLaughlin holds a magna cum l^de degree in guitar performance from the University of Southern California School of Music. McLaughlin's hand-over-hand tapping technique makes him unique among gui­ tarists though his fans often compare him to guitar greatS tanley Jordan.McLaughlin has earned many awards and nominations and has two albums to his credit. Internationally known harpist Harvi Griffin breaks the stereotype of harp mu­ sic with varied styles within his show. January 25, the Pub will fill with the sounds of this outstanding performer. Griffin performs pieces ranging from classical to calypso to traditional to con­ temporary music. February brings a night of costume, food and dancing as Club Candlelight celebrates Mardi Gras with a New Orleans Night. Cajun food and a cajun band will spice up the night with music and fun. Get your tickets now for Jane Powell scheduled for March 22, since there is a sell-out every time she performs in the Pub. This jazz singer always brings a special night of entertainment to Club Candlelight with her music, humor and audience participation. Watch for details on April's Club Candlelight performer. Season ticket holders will vote on which artists they would like to see and it will be a great way to end the year. The Special Events division of A.F runs Club Candlelight, which is sored in part by student activity feel Club Candlelight offers the perfect op­ portunity for a night of quality nightclub entertainment. Season tickets are $15 for students and $32 for faculty, staff and the general public. Tickets can be bought individually by students only. Don't miss out on Club Candlelight as this season should be bright a bright one. Secreast's short stories reflect skill Psycho Acoustics perform in Pub By JOHN FOSTER WEST Special to the Appalachian ASU English graduate DonaldSecreast :ently had "The Rat Becomes Light," a llection of short stories, published. work in Chalfant Furniture Factory, lo­ cated in the town of Boehm, which seems to be a composite of Lenoir and such villages around it as Joycetonand Hudson, where furniture factories are located. Fur­ ther unity stems from the fact that several characters appear in more than onestory— such as Rawley Pendergraft, so ugly and dirty, he is called the Rat. Secreast's style is subtle, with the skill of a writer who has had years of appren­ ticeship. He is a master of the understate­ ment. His humor is wry but kind, and he is never condescending. His characteriza­ tion is brilliant because he knows his people. He writes about them with under­ standing and compassion. However, it is impossible tosummarize the implications in this kind of fiction in two or three sentences. The stories must be read carefully, even re-read to fully appreciate the author's skill. Chalfant Furniture Factory is a micro­ cosm of society everywhere. The hierar­ chy runs from those in the front office in their seersucker suits down through the departments, ending at the bottom with the finishing room personnel, who "have breathed shellac so long they are brain damaged," and those in the "rough end" and lumber yard, who have been in the woods so recently "they have fleas, ticks, or something worse."

Approximately 30 to 40 walk-ons were iut during thepractices, according to Head >ach Jim Morris. According to Morris, the first three lays consisted of rating each player's peed and throwing ability. Several ntersquad scrimmages were held during he tiyouts in order to give the coaching taff a better look at each of the players. fhe final cut for the 1991 season will be innounced Oct. 14. Coach Morris stated about seven or jght new playersstand a legitimate chance if making the squad as the Mountaineers fill be returning 16 or 17 players fromlast 'ear's team. When asked to assess the team's outook at this early point in the year Morris laid, "We're certainly real young... (but) ve think we have improved defensively is well having better speed." Morris also noted the team's pitching hould benefit from theexperience gained y many of the young Mountaineer hurlrs last year. Uncertain about his team's WHAT? offense, Morris believes this year's squad will have less power than ASU has had in previous campaigns. The only question marks for the 1991 team are the vacated starting positions of third base and left field. ASU's 1991 fire will likely be fueled by All-Conference centerfielder Scott Waugh. In 1990, Waugh led the Moun­ taineers in nine different offensive cat­ egories whileboasting ahefty .426 batting average. Waugh also will try to extend his hitting streak, which reached 21 games through the final contest of the 1990 sea­ son. When asked how he plans to improve his game in '91 Waugh said, "I just plan on continuing what I did well last season ... As far as my hitting goes, I would like to add some power as well as practice on driving the ball to the opposite field." As far as the overall team is concerned, Waugh believes that the 1991 squad must go with its strengths, which this year consist of good speed and solid defense. "Each player has to give 100 percent, and play to the best of his abilities," Waugh said. "We have a lot of young, unproven players, but I think they will respond."

This year's Mountaineer pitching staff willhavetodo without the servicesof last season's ace, Johnny Meadows. Meadows leaves the ASU squad on the coattails of a senior season in which he boasted a 7-2 overall record with an earned run average of 2.97 in 73 2/3 innings pitched. Mead­ ows led the team in numerous other pitching categories, while registering the Mountaineers' only shutout and pitching all of ASU's four complete games. Mead­ ows also kept the Apps' late season hopes alive by winning his last four decisions of the year. The Apps will try to improve upon last season's 19-22-1 overall record and 6-9 conference mark. Last year's record marked the team's first losing campaign since 1980. The 1990 Southern Conference tour­ nament saw the Mountaineers defeat VMI in the first round before bowing out of postseason competition with consecutive losses to The Citadel and Western Caro­ lina.

Not only must they spendcountless hours each week practicing athletics, but they must also find time to devote to their studies. Who keeps an eye on the academic progress of student athletes? At ASU, it's faculty rep­ resentative to theNCAA, Dr. Alan Hauser. Roanoke Hauser, who's also the chairperson of the department of philosophy and reli­ gion, said there are several duties that come with his NCAA position. ASU vs UTC "First and foremost, I have a vested interest in protecting the academic inter­ ests of student athletes," Hauser said. "I'm responsible for certifying that student ath­ letes meet the academic requirements of the NCAA and are progressing toward earning a degree." Hauser also reports to the NCAA and the general administration of the UNC s Catawba vs ASU UNC-Asheville vs 1 ASU Western Carolina vs I | ASU ' school system each year. "I report on a number of statistics, like the number of student athletes recruited within the gen­ eral guidelines of the university, gradua­ tion rates, and so on," Hauser said. Hauser said he also at­ tends NCAA meetings, and as faculty representa­ tive, is responsible for casting the university's vote. "I'll ask for input from coaches," Hauser said. "But when the time comes, I'm the one who casts the vote." According to Hauser, a good indication of the Dr. Alan academic success of an athletic program is if stu­ dent athletes graduate at the same rate as the student body. He said that of all the students who entered ASU during the 1983-84 academic year, 47 percent had earned their degrees within five years. That figure was 45 percent for Appalachian athletes. Hauser said that in 1988, the graduation rate of student athletes w as just one percent less than the rate of the over­ all student class. "I know that Tom Apke (men's basketball coach), Jerry Moore (football coach), Linda Robinson (women's basketball coach)and the other coaches are behind their players," Hauser said. "I couldn't, in good conscience, be the fac­ ulty representative if I Hauser didn'tfeel we had agood support structure on campus." Hauser said college coaches should take a more active role in the education of student athletes. "Any coach who views himself as someone who's hired to win, with some­ one else to worry about education, doesn't belong in intercollegiate athletics," Hauser said. "A coach's primary responsibility is to see that players get a gootPfeducatSon. That can't be put into second place behind winning," he said. Hauser said he expects the NCAA to attempt financial cutbacks where student athletes are concerned in the future. "I think there will be a serious effort to cut costs," Hauser said. "But I think it's wrong to cut costs with student athletes before we've exhausted other means." Hauser also expects continued stress­ ing of academic standards. He stated,"Less than one percent of all student athletes have sustained athletic careers. The other 99 percent are going to have to rely on their educations." ASU falls to Va.

"When you play a team as consistent as Virginia Tech, you can't afford to make this many mistakes." lish any consistent offensive threat on ASU's part paved the way for an ail-too easy 15-5 game one win for VirginiaTech. Indeed, ASU had its chances. At first, however, it appeared that Tech would cruise by App in three games. Several service mistakes and an inability to estab­ When the two teams switched sides of the court for game two, however, it ap­ peared that McGee had somehow given her team a wake-up call. After digging an early 4-0 hole, ASU climbed back thanks to increased defensive activity close to the net and great offensive execution. App scored seven straight points to take a 7-4 lead and for the most part controlled the rest of game two. The 15-11 win evened the match at one game each. Sabrina Hill, Tammy Craig and Sandra Love were the main advocates of the ASU surge. Hill had two tremendous down-theline kills; Love aced Tech once during the rally; and Craig blocked an attempted kill to win the game. Games three and four, though, looked almost like renins of game one. Unforced errors once again doomed ASU, and McGee could find little remedy for App's woes during the four timeouts she sig­ naled for in the last two games. In the final two games, Tech took 15-5 and 15-8 wins to seal the match victory. Appsltchitn Photo by Nlcoto Quinn Friday with a 6:30 p.m. match at Furman. The ladies then travel to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to face the Moccasins on Sunday. Despite the loss, McGee was quite op­ timistic. Last year, McGee took her squad to Virginia Tech and was soundly drilled by the Lady Hokies. "We still have a very young team," McGee said. "Virginia Tech hasquite a bit of experience. I am very confident about this team." McGee continued, "We have Furman Friday, and I'm very confident that this team will do some very good things against Furman." Most of ASU's mistakes were basic, fundamental ones, McGee said.To rid the See ASU page 8 take second in meet "It felt good,"said Pemberton, "but men­ tally, I need to work on my last mile." By DEBBIE POULOS Appalachian Staff Writer Both the men's and wornen's cross country squads opened their seasons with second place finishes in Saturday's West­ ern Carolina Invitational Meet at Cullowhee, NC. The East Tennessee State team cap­ tured first place in the men's five-mile run, with the ASU squad taking second, just four points behind the victors. Brad Dodson, a senior at ASU, finished first for the team and third overall with a time of 25:59. Under the weather since Wednesday, Dodson said, "I'm going torun whether I'm sick or not; so will other people. It's just more to strive for and over come." Appalachian placed four men in the top 10. The top five runners for ASU were Dodson, Billy Pemberton, David Ess, Danny Ledford and Robby Sellati. "I'm real pleased; it was a good opening meet," ASU men's coach A1 Fereshetian said. "Everyone gave asolid performance. OUT goal was to close out the last three miles real hard. I held Brad (Dodson) back. We knew the kid from ETSU was good, and I wanted Brad to study him." "The first meet is not a time to prove yourself," said Dodson. "It's to find out where you are." Pemberton, a freshman at ASU, fin­ ished second on the team and fifth overall. Women's Action Clemson University claimed top hon­ ors in the women.'s three mile run, with 17 total points. Their top five runners fin­ ished first, second, third, fifth, and sixth. ASU took second place in the meet, plac­ ing three runners in the top 10. We've got a lot to do to get ready for conference," said Heidi Barger, who fin­ ished first for ASU and seventh overall withatimeof 19:54. "It's a hard course; the last hill really killed me." The conference meet is also to be held at Western this year. "It served its purpose for the first meet," said ASU women's coach John Weaver. "They see what they have to work on-lots of hills." "Heidi Barger and Jennifer Bowers had a good race to start the season," Weaver said. "Came Hogg, a freshman, put in a good effort. Leigh Cooper came through real well for her first race in two years, and Deanna Davis gave a real strong finish to our top five. If we can run like this and get second, we're not doing bad." Other schools participating in the event were UNC-Asheville, Virginia Military Institute, the University of Georgia, Geor­ gia State, Samford and Withrop College. a /' m real pleased; it was a good opening meet. >5 �The Appalachian.

Students should remain concerned about the parking situation on campus and should make an effort to express their opinions to ensure their needs are met. There are several things ASU should do to make parking easier for students. Security should place commuter students in the most convenient lots. These students should not be placed in parking lots which require excessive walking to reach classes. When winter arrives, ice and snow will prohibit many of these students, forexample, from driving up the hill to the South lot, located behind the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. While some off-campus students are forced to park in "storage" style lots, such as South, some on-campus students have their cars parked in the hub of the university. It is unnecessary for the students who live on campus to have easy access to their cars when they are within walking distance of classes. During pre-registration,all commuting students should be randomly placed into the most convenient lotson campus. Security should then start with other students and assign the remaining spaces according to class rank. ASU has considered building a parkjng deck tacurp the pqrking probleru. Students do not need another increase ih student fees to build a parking deck, which will require tremendous amounts of maintenance and cost ASU approximately $11,000 per space. When it snows or rains in the winter, students will not be able to drive up the icy driveways to park; therefore, this deck would be absolutely useless. This is a mountain community where "bridges ice before roadways," and a parking deck has the same character­ istics of a bridge with no insulation from the elements. ASU should consider using the parking spaces available on campus before leaping into building a parking deck. Students will still have all the advantages of on-campus parking without causing other commuter students to park in inconvienent lots. On campus students would have easy access to their cars with the AppalCART running to South lot and Horn in the West lot. The parking study stated the use of hang tags would be an effective measure in helping security. Hang tags are useless in monitoring parking. The tags can easily be exchanged between students, allowing them to use other people's parking privileges. When Boone has inclement weather, the tags will not be visible because of ice and snow on the windshield. During the spring and summer, students use visors to keep the interior of their car from becoming uncomfortably hot. These visors could also prevent security from seeing the hang tags. Freshmen should be allowed to bring their cars to school. ASU is one of the few schools in North Carolina that allows freshmen to bring their cars on campus and this practice should continue. We live in the mountains, almost 90 minutes from any major metropolitan area, and freshmen should not have to depend on someone to drive them to a designated location. Security has done a better job this year by instituting the pre-registration System for ordering stickers. This keeps students from standing in line and eliminates the hassles of buying a parking permit. The university should continue pre-registration and other policies that work for the good of the students. However, more student input is needed to determine what is necessary and to avoid useless ideas such as a parking deck. In the last election, only 38 percent of all Americans voted for president. In Russia, 98 percent of all citizens vote in all elections. Did you know that during the last 10 years, according to the House Ways and Means Commit­ tee, the real income change for the poorest 20 percent of all American families went down 3 percent while their taxes went up 16 percent. On the other hand, the real income change tor the richest 5 percent of all families went up 46 percent and their tax rates went down 10 percent. The poverty rates have gone up due to the increasing number of jobs that pay between $8,000 to $10,000 a year. If you are already registered in Watauga county, make your voice heard! Change these statistics and help the working men and women in our nation. I do not want Gantt in office just because I'm a Demo­ crat. I want Gantt in office because he is an honest-togoodness intelligent man with an honest, hard-working attitude toward all North Carolinians including students, the very young, the elderly, women and minorities. Just for a peek into his background, Gantt graduated second in his high school class and also graduated from Clemson University in 1965 with honors. He was the first black student to be admitted to Clemson. Later, he earned his master's degree in city planning from M.I.T. (pretty impressive). Gantt is a well known and widely respected architect and teacher. He has lectured at Yale, NC State, UNCC and the University of Michigan, and is responsible for many large, important buildings around North Carolina. He has served 11 years of public service and public office and was elected mayor of Charlotte (N.C.'s largest city) twice in a row by a population that was 75 percent white. If you're into personal history, you may find it interest­ ing that Gantt has been married to his wife, Cindy, an accountant, since 1964. They have four children. Gantt .Wi THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Courtenay Constable on the Middle East is insane By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait has claimed front-page attention for a number of good reasons: hundreds of westerners are being held hostage, a big chunk of the world's energy supply is being threat­ ened, no one was really buying the war on drugs and now we've got another petty raving dictator who'll help us feel okay about having George Bush as president for a while longer. The really frightening thing is the num­ ber of people in this country rubbing their hands together and saying, "By God, this is one we can win." True enough, but at what cost? Most of the people I hear advo­ cating the application of the U.S.'s col­ lective foot to Iraq's collective posterior are safely past selective service age. The comparisons of Sadam Hussein to Hitler are not completely unfounded. He has used mustard gas (a chemical weapon so horrible that most western nations quit using it after World War I) on citizens of his own country. There have been terrible tales of the bodies of fallen Iranian sol­ diers being stacked up and used to form roadbeds through the marshes that were the scenes of some of the most intense fighting in the Iran-Iraq war. Not only do we have to ask about the cost of a war in a place with allies who could turn on us in the name of God and Country, but we should also ask ourselves why we are participating so heavily in a conflict in a region that has been at it ever since they got up enough people to have a fight....Do we really need the hassle that the combination of our consumption hab­ its anddealing with the Middle Eastentail? With a few changes in the way we do things, we could quite happily get along without the problems in the Middle East and even give a couple of really big oil companies the thrashing that they've had coming for years. Not only that, we could probably do our environment a big favor too. One change is really easy: conserve energy. Contrary to popular belief, this doesn't entail much beyond turning off things like lights and televisions when you're not using them. If you want to get really far out, take your T.V. to the recy­ cling center and invest the money saved on the cable bill and electricity in a couple of good magazine subscriptions. You'll create more time for yourself, and prob­ ably increase your intelligence, and you can recycle the magazines. THEc[£^FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Another fine way out of the M iddle East is to actively encourage the development of alternative energy sources and alterna­ tive ways of using energy. We were doing this in the 70's, but it seems we decided that the cheap oil coming from the Middle East wouldcome forever, so we went back to driving big cars and generally living without regard to what tomorrow would bring. Despite the relative decline of energy conservation, there has been a movement afoot, some of it left over from the 70's and somespurred on by the environmental concerns of today, that has continued to make some progress in the area of energy conservation. It turns out that cutting pol­ lution means using what you have more efficiently. It just so happens that this is precisely what we need. Companies like Volvo, for instance, have developed a prototype automobile based on the following assumptions: Most people spend their time driving at amaz­ ingly slow speeds (about 35 mph) to work and around their communities. The LCP (Light Component Project) 2,000 was designed to get an average gas mileage of 65 to 81 mpg on the highway and 65 mpg in the city, with a mind-blowing 100 mpg occuring at an average speed of 40 mph And it can do 0-60 in 11 seconds, with t top speed of 110. This isn't in productior yet, largely because until a month ago it wasn't really fashionable to drive a smal car. It is also time to get serious about wind and solar energy, two things that will be with us as long as the sun continues tc work, which, according to most reliable sources, is the foreseeable future. Collec­ tion of this energy type isn't so much of a problem as storage, but if we could possi­ bly spend a little less on the war machine and a little more on developing energy technology, we could wind up ending the need for sending troops to fight somebody else's war altogether. To make it all happen, we're going to need some economic incentives like tax breaks for pursuing energy conservation rather than being rich. There should be a real tax on gasoline. We pay several dol­ lars a gallon less here than in any other industrialized country. Look at it this way: would you rather hand over your hard-earned bread to "President" Hussein (or whomever) or the U.S.? At least the latter choice is less likely to come after us with nerve gas.

The remain'our seats, according, to SGA Vice ident Daryl Ghent, will be filled by ion. here are two seats available in Jusone seat in Belk and one seat in land," Ghent said. Students may pei for these seats by filling out a form ; SGA office, getting 100 signatures JUS representatives from residents of the hall and presenting the completed paperwork at the student government meeting. Ghent said he was very pleased with the number of people who ran for represen­ tative spots and by the amount of voters who participated."There wasan especially high turnout for on campus-voting," he said. SGA President Mike Scales said he was very enthusiastic about the election of the new representativesand the senate's upcoming year."I think that there's more student interest in the senate this year than any other," Scales said. "We're really flabbergasted by the response.SGA wants to get a lot of important things done, like passing new legislation, and strong stu­ dent support will help." Scales said he thought senate repre­ sentatives have the potential to leam a lot about the way ASU works. "Being in the senate gives students an opportunity to leam a great deal about the university," Scales said."Not only can they leammore about the business side of it, but the edu­ cational side as well." Scales said the time is coming soon when other universities will look at Appalachian's senate as a model, and havine good representatives will contrib­ ute to that. "I have a lot of confidence in our new representatives," Scales said. "They are competent, enthusiastic and willing to work. It's going to be an excit­ ing year."

District AttorneyTom Rusherexplained lat Lee's attorneys are looking for posble mistakes by the judge in Lee's April ial. They are scrutinizing transcripts for tors associated with the judge's over­ ling objections by thedefense attorneys. "My experience is that the process takes lie and one-half to two years from the me of sentencing to when the appeal is sard (by the State Supreme Court), allough the process may be longer or torter," according to Rusher. This process automatic for death sentences in North arolina. After the review is completed, Rusher lid the defense will inform the district torney of the mistakes they believe the dgemade.

This Wednesday at 11 a.m., ASU will celebrate its91st birthday with a convoca­ tion ceremony at Varsity Gym at 11 a.m. The keynote speaker will be Maya Angelou, noted author and civil Tights activist. Her address will deal with "The Politics of Race." ASU Chancellor John Thomas called Angelou "top notch," calling the subject of which she will address "particularily important for the campus as a whole." Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Edwin Arnold referred to Angelou as a greatcommunicator "who promises to be an inspiration to all who attend." Cancellation of classes wasnotrequired by ASU Provost Harvey Durham or Tho­ mas, but both officials haverequested that all classes scheduled during the appointed time of the convocation be cancelled by individual professors. Classes scheduled to begin at 10:00 am have also been re­ quested to not meet so ample time can be given for students, faculty and staff to assemble in Varsity Gym. Dr. Joel Thompson, chairperson of the political science/criminal justice depart­ ments, said all professors in his departmenthave cancelled any classes that would interfere with assembling students into V arsity Gym, or any class scheduled dur ing Angelou's speaking time. "Obviously, this is a subject of keen interest for everyone involved in the de partment," Thompson said. Chancellor Thomas said ASU staff workers and their supervisors also have been invited to take part in the ceremony. "I do realize that many staff workers are ih areas of which a full operating staff is critical," Chancellor Thomas said, "so full attendance by ASU employees can't be done." Thechancellor said he encourages anyone with a chance to come to the as sembly to please do so. Thompson stated the importance of a convocation at many other universities as the formal start of the academic year. He See ASU page 2 Blimling puts new student programs in motion Student development head promotes "positive living and learning" atmosphere By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian News Editor New programs are scheduled to operate next years, said Dr. Greg Blimling, who took over the position of vice chancellor for Student Development on July 1. Blimling, whoprev iously served asdean of students for nine years at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, was ap­ proved to the vice chancellorship in April after a nationwide search by a committee of ASU students, faculty and administra­ tion. According to Blimling, a good leader must have vision for the organization, the ability to communicate and the ability to create an environment so everyone in­ volved can also join in the vision of the leader. Two months into his postof heading the student development department, Blimling has already done preliminary research on the streamlining of development. New programs on the forefront of Blimling's agenda include proposals for a new childcare center on campus planned to begin Alpha Tau Omega joins fraternity fold By LAURA BABINEAU Appalachian Staff Writer Alpha Tau Omega will become, the 11th fraternity on campus this year, re­ placing Omega Psi Phi as a member on the ASU Interfratcmity Council. Associate Director of the Center for Student Development and Leadership Dino DiBernardi said the university is taking its first steps to expand the number of fraternities on campus. The last broth­ erhood invited into the council was Delta Chi, admitted in 1986. Pi Kappa Alpha will also join the IFC at alaterdate. The current plan, accordingto IFC President John McPherson, is to let one group gain stability and thenlet another group find members. McPherson said: "The same action was taken when Delta Chi and Sigma Nu were invited onto the campus. Sigma Nu was invited first, and when they became stable, then Delta Chi was allowed to rush." The Interfratcmity Council began an expansion study in 1989. Representatives of three national fraternities—Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Pi— came to ASU to present their ideas of academic, social, service and leadership requirements behind each of their orga­ nizations, according to Mike Kent, coor­ dinator of expansion for A.T.O. Alpha Tau Omega was chosen over Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Pi because A.T.O. is willing to provide extra time and effort in the installation process of building a chapter, according to McPherson. DiBernardi said, "A new chapter at ASU will provide new blood and new ideas as well as establishing traditions not set by the already existing fraternities on campus." According to McPherson, Pi Kappa Alpha will receive an invitation to begin their rush next fall. Sigma Pi was not chosen for an expansion chapter at ASU. "Sigma Pi is not conducive to the atmo­ sphere of ASU nor do they have an ex­ pansion commitment laid down like A.T.O.," McPherson said. A.T.O will begin recruiting on Tuesday, Sept. 18 through Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the I.F.C. office in room 205, Workman Hall. Rush events to promote A.T.O will be held on Sept. 20, 24 and 25. Kent will be available to speak to any interested students. Kent commented that the new chapter will be successful: "ASU is ready forexpansion, the university itself is growing and there are high quality students. These qualities are what we look for when we pick from the top of the list." Kent said he hopes to start the chapter with 40 to 50 men who will be the founding fathers for the ASU chapter. DiBernardi stated the new chapter should be exciting to students because "A.T.O. will appeal to non-traditional people who looked at the present frater­ nities and prefer a different approach." McPherson said, "Hopefully A.T.O. won't fit in at all. We are looking for a change and to broaden horizons. I believe that A.T.O was chosen not only on the basis of their credentials, but that they may set a pace to help and strengthen our Greek system." In other related Greek news, Omega Psi Phi is no longer a recognized fraternity at ASU. According to DiBernardi, the or­ ganization didn't meet national headquarter's requirements for a chapter.

(CPS) - The murders of five collegians in and around the University of Florida within three days have left the campus community in a state of panic, provoking some students to leave campus and others to hold protective slumber parties. "We can't emphasize too much that students and other members of the community have to be keenly and intensely aware of security issues," said John Lombardi, president of UF, which invited off-campus students to move into newly secured on-campus dorms. All five of the slain students-two of whom attended nearby Same Fe Community College - were found within two miles of the UF campus. University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana also have raised concerns and complaints about safety in the wake of an Aug. 13 murder of a student in her off-campus apartment.

(CPS) - Rutgers University official David Bums said Aug. 22 that his school had become the first in the country to stop giving scholarships to ROTC students because of ROTC's policy banning homosexuals from the I military. Following ROTC's ultimately futile efforts in March to retrieve scholarship money from students at Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who it ultimately found out were gay, more than 20 campus presidents signed letters to the Pentagon asking it to I change its policy. None of the schools, however, has yet carried out a threat to disassociate from the ROTC program.

Ever heard stories about the avarian Inn? Of course, nobody in his right iind called it by the official name.

I don't want to express too many of my bad loughts about B.I. burgers, but an archaeoloist friend of mine used to loan us all his arbon-14 kit so we could find out how old the indwiches were.

ACT unites campus and community By SHERYL M. BRODIE Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) is a campus organization through which volunteering students can help make a positive change in the Boone area. ACT began three years ago as a local chapter of the Student Community Service Project, a national organization which enlists the help of high school and college students in performing community service projects. Professor John Turner from the sociology and social work department at ASU requested agrant to have the program instated here. The conditions were that ASU would contribute more and more money each year until, at the end of three years, the university would assume full re­ sponsibility for the project. But when problems arose, it was the new vice chancellor of student development Dr. Greg Blimling who saved the program. Because Blimling considers student in­ volvement and community service essential to the climate of a college campus, he worked to find the funds needed to keep the program in operation. According to Jill Morton, the new director of ACT, a plus for becoming involved is that it gives people experience they can take with them in the work force. Through volunteering, students de­ velop interpersonal skills, crisis intervention tech­ niques, leant how a human service organization works and get a change to give something back to society. A new feature of ACT this year is VISTA volunteers. VISTA stands for Volunteers in Ser­ vice to America. Each VISTA volunteer addresses a particular issue in the community and mobilizes resources and other volunteers to help alleviate the concern. The projects being tackled this year by the group are providing better availability to nutrition programs, day-care for homeless children, a more affordable health care facility, and school drop-out prevention at the eighth grade level. The drop-out prevention program will place volunteers in a mentor role with risk students. The volunteers and eighth graders will then perform community service projects together in an effort to build the youths' self-esteem. The planners of this program hope this will in turn provide motivation for them to continue their education. Service in ACT is limited only by your desire to help and includes activities that range from assist­ ing with meal delivery for the elderly and tutoring children to working with OASIS, a help network for battered women and rape victims. If you are interested in working with ACT you can contact Morton in Room 113 of the Plemmons Student Union. Becoming a volunteer is a simple process of filling out an application, taking part in a brief interview during which you discuss your strengths and interests, and participating in an allday training program. Morton said this process is helpful to agencies in the community because they know an ACT volunteer has been screened and will be more reliable than someone who walks in off the street. Morton sees volunteer ism as a growing trend. "People are realizing that social programs are escalating at such a rate that if you're not a part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. We can no longer sit back. People must take a personal responsibility in their community," Morton said.

SAVE focuses on protecting the environment By ELIZABETH CRAVEN * Appalachian Staff Writer Students Actively Volunteering for the Envi­ ronments is a growing campus organization con­ cerned with the environmental crisis. SAVE at­ tempts to educate ASU students and Boone resi­ dents so they can combine efforts to clean up the environment. "Education is where it all begins," said Andy Lester, the group's newly-elected president. "If people understand why we need to conserve, then we can stop the problem there. We won't have to clean up the rivers, for example, because we know enough not to pollute them in the first place." The organization put up fliers on campus to raise students' awareness of conservation and re­ cycling. "We want to educate ASU and the people of Boone that there is a problem and show that there are things you can do," said Will Hubbard, one of the founders of the group. "We want students to actively participate in the helping of our environ­ ment." The group included "actively" in its name be­ cause students have the ability to act on the prob­ lem. "We have a focus, so now we'd like to concen­ trate on it and get things done. When people see us out doing things, hopefully they'll stop and ask what we're doing and maybe even join us," said Andy Lester. "This is the best student organization I've ever been involved with," said SAVE's adviser, Rich­ ard Gray of the physics and astronomy depart­ ment. He said the students actually organize the meetings. The organization works with local and campuswide concerns such as setting up an effective recycling program in the dorms and in food ser­ vices, student conservation awareness. Grandfa­ ther Mountain's development and the steam plant on campus. "The steam plant is the 12th biggest polluter in North Carolina. The pollution comes from using old machinery that should have been upgraded or replaced almost ten years ago," said Hubbard. The group also is interested in global issues including the preservation of Antarctica, Alaska and the Rain Forests. It ispresently concerned with the Senate bill allowing the president, in times of crisis, to drill for oil in normally prohibited envi­ ronmental areas. SAVE was first recognized by SGA in the Spring of 1990. It had operated for a year unoffi­ cially as theEnvironmental Ethicsgroup withonly a few members. There are now 60 to 70 people involved. "We decided to associate with SGA in order to gain credibility on campus and to further coopera­ tion by Appalachian administration," Hubbard said. Anyone is welcome to become involved with SAVE including members of the Boone commu­ nity. No membership dues are required. Meetings are held at6 p.m. every Thursday in room A of East Residence Hall.

Dr. ScottMeister keeps a Steinway piano, an orchestra, a choral ensemble, guitar players and bubbling oil. Those sounds and others have been captured on synthesizers, com­ puters and other equipment in ASU's School of Music's electronic music lab.

Students learn the basics of electronicmusic, recording and digital sampling techniques where sound is recorded and then changed through the used of a synthesizer and computer.

Meister, with the use of recordings of his Steely Pan Band, can hear what Mozart would sound like on the steel pan drums. Many music education graduates are already finding similar electronic equipment in their school's music programs, Meister said. The graduates have found they need the experience provided in the course. For about the same cost of a good piano, school systems can purchase a syn­ thesizer that with programmed compositions, al­ lows students to play or sing along with a com­ puterized orchestra or string quartet. Unlike a recording, the synthesized compositions can be tailored to fit student skills, adjusting tempo or pitch to fit their abilities. Now that the music lab is a reality, Meister's next goal is to find funding to add the space and equipment needed for additional studios and re­ hearsal labs to give moTe students a chance for hands-on experience. Meister said lab time is es­ sential to the electronic music course. Because of the limited amount of space available now, the course is limited to 10 music majors this fall. �The Appalachian.

WARD Appalachian Sports Editor The Wake Forest Demon Deacons ,enged last season's 15-10 loss to the SU Mountaineers by turning two ASU imbles into scoring drives Saturday netting to post a 23-12 victory over the [siting Mountaineers in Groves Stadium. "Against a Division-I school like Wake orest we are not a good enough football am to go out and make these kind of jstakes and then expect to haveachance," SU Head Coach Jerry Moore said foliwing the game referring to the fumbles id other App miscues during the course f the evening. Wake's offense was led by Anthony Williams who rushed for 113 yards on 19 arries. The air attack of Deacon quarterack Phillip Barnhill was less effective, owever, as the Mountaineer defenseheld im to just 77 yards, the fewest passing ards for the senior in his 13 career starts. Appalachian quarterbackD.J. Campbell assed for 171 yards on the night, comleting 16 of 21attempts. The Mountaineer round game, though less effective, was :d by J.K. Reaves who carried for just 68 ards compared to last week's 150-yard ffort in the Apps' season opener. The Deacons' first scoring drive began hen Campbell mishandled a snap with jst under seven minutes to play in the pening period. The Mountaineers were jst 22 yards away from the goal line hen the miscue happened as ASU defenive back Mark Mayo intercepted a iarnhill pass on the 37 and returned it 10 ards to set up the App drive. However, he fumble ended the short-lived drive ust two plays after the stolen pass. Wake's Tryg Brody recovered the Iropped snap which began a 12-play, 76/ard suTge that ended in the game's jpcning touchdown. On a fourth-and-one play from the ASU 38-yard line, the App defense apparently ended the drive, dropping Williams for a loss; however, a Mountaineer "mistake," too many men on the field, kept the drive alive. Six plays later, Bamhill passed to a wide open Bobby Jones in the middle of the end zone for the game's first points with 1:25 remaining in the first quarter. Wake's next drive, its first of the sec­ ond quarter, was slowed at the ASU 36yardlineby a holding penalty andaChuck Phifer sack of Bamhill. However, on fourth-and-15, sophomore Wade Tollison was called on to attempt a field goal with 10:11 to go in the half. His boot sailed for the necessary 53 yards and split the up­ rights to give the Deacs a 10-0 advantage and Tollison a Wake Forest record. With 7:27 to go in the second quarter, the Mountaineers put together their longest drive of the first half, a 52-yard, 10-play binge. Tailback J.K. Reaves carried the ball seven times for 38 yards on the drive. After pushing the ball to the Wake Forest 33-yard mark, the Mountaineers decided to go for a first when faced with a fourth-and-six situation. The play ended the App's progress as Campbell's pass, intended for and tapped by Reaves, sailed high and was picked off by Mark Stackhouse. The Mountaineers got the ball back before the half ended;however, they forced the Deacs to punt. The App possession began on their own 14-yard mark withjust 29 seconds to go in the second period. Reaves bolted up the middle to pick up a quick 15 yards. Then, following a time­ out, Campbell passed up-field to tight end Will Barber for a 16-yard gain. Campbell then tossed downfield to A1 Ellis, a completion that would have been good for 27 yards and put the Mountaineers within field goal range, but the play was called back due to an ineligible man downfield. The flag ended the Mountaineers chance to put points on the board before the half, and the two squads went to the locker rooms with Wake leading 10-0. The ASU offensive squad began the second half by putting together a 16-play, 65-yard drive that ended when the Mountaineers were forced to settle for a field goal, losing a goal-line stand that moved the ball all the way to the one-yard line. "Games like this are just one of these things," Moore said."The other team just takes your momentum away.That stand at the goal line kept us from getting anything, and that was pretty typical of how our momentum was drained." Millson's field goal, a 19-yarder, put the Mountaineers on the board, closing the Deac lead to seven, 10-3. The Demon Deacons answered right back, however, also scoring on their first possession of the second half.This ground attack was handled primarily by tailback Tony Rogers, who carried the ball six times for 39 yards on the drive. The touchdown duties were handled by Wil­ liams though, as he went up the middle from three yards out. Dave Behrmann's extra point extended Wake's lead to 17-3. Following an ASU punt, the Moun­ taineer defense pinned the Deacs in their own territory, where they were forced to punt from the 20-yard mark. The snap sailed high; when punter Kim Sheek gained control, he turned and dashed into the end zone wherehe downed the ball for a safety,making thescore 17-5 with 12:06 remaining in the contest. A little over three minutes of action later, ASU gave up its second costly fumble.

However, ASU charged back with a ninepoint spurt of their own to win the game, 15-10. "I was pleased with the fact we were able to come back," McGee said.

See TOURNEY page 6 By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Staff Writer This year's ASU men's cross country team offers a top five consisting of expe­ rienced leaders and talented newcomers who have the coaching staff very excited at the possibilities of repeating as con­ ference champions. "I think our chances of repeating as conference champs are very good,"stated third-year assistant Paul Goewey. "Our team is better than last year. We should suprise a lot of teams." According to headcoach A1Fereshetian, also in his third year, the main obstacles between ASU and a championship repeat will again be East Tennessee State and Marshall. To overcome these obstacles, the Mountaineers pack an arsenal of young talent along with the team's only senior, captain Brad Dopson. Dopson, who will make the move from second to first seed, will be faced with the task of replacing Pete Vandenberg, who was lost to graduation. The rest of the top five will include the other team captain, Todd Walters, along with juniors Dave Ess and Danny Ledford and freshman Billy Pemberton. Ledford, who took last year off, and Ess, who was plagued with injuries, are said by the coaches to be looking strong and are expected to contribute a great deal to theApp's cause. Pemberton, a freshman who led his West Springfield High team to the Virginia state title and a fourth pi ace finish nationally, will also be a bright spot in the Mountaineer attack. Goewey said the team as a whole has set two goals for themselves. One, to repeat as Southern Conference champi­ ons and two, to do well in the regionals. "This year's team is close and we are running as a pack," Goewey said. "We look good at times and at times we don't," Fereshetian said. "It's too early to tell." Both coaches seem very excited about the team's potential and agree that the team.too, seems excited to get things un­ derway. The squad has been practicing formally since Aug. 20 and is under a vigorous training program. "We usually practice twice a day and try to include cross training in the pool," Goewey said. "The team usually does a long run of 15 to 20miles once a week and are working very hard." ByLYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The women's cross country squad is preparing for what should be another victorious season, according to head coach John Weaver. The Lady Apps, who are coming off last season's North Carolina Collegiate Championship and Southern Conference Championship titles, return two all-con­ ference letterers in senior Traci Mclntyre and junior Heidi Barger. In addition to Mclntyre and Barger, Weaver expects strong performances from seniors Jennifer Bowers and Laura Girouard and junior Dee Anna Davis. "Right now, Davis and Barger seem to be emerging as the teamleaders," Weaver said. ASU's "Best AllTime Cross Country Times" lists Davis ninth with 18:40.4 and Barger 10th with 18:42.0 on the 5,000 meter course. However, no times have been recorded for the 1990 season. Weaver said there will also be a lot of new talent on the Mountaineer squad this year. Freshmen Carrie Hogg of Gamer and Nicole Disher of Jacksonville, Fla. seem to be leading the way among the team's six newcomers. Senior Leigh Cooper, who returns to the circuit after taking a season off to recover from an injury, should also be solid for the Mountaineers, as will juniors Janet Osada and Julie Anderson, Weaver said. Weaver, aseven-year coachingveteran feels very confident of this year's squad. "We should certainly befavored this year, he said. ".. .we have a very good shot at first place." Weaver believes the squad can be just as successful as last year's championship team, despite the loss of all-conference standouts Whitney Ball and Vanessa Kosmala. "Rightnow, our squad is looking pretty solid," Weaver said. "If we continue im­ proving over thenext month, as weshould, we will be ready for the championship meets in October." The Lady Apps are vying for their second straight state championship and their fifth straight conference crown.

The Mountaineerspersevered through a tight scoring affair, only to fall to Wake by a score of 2-1. Wake Forest struck first blood, scoring at the 35-minute mark in the first half. John Stark was credited with the goal on an assist by John Duguid. The Deacs controlled most of the first half, outshooting the Mountaineers on goal. Sixteen seconds into the second half, the Apps turned things around by knotting the score, l-l,unagoalby Andy Salandy. 1990 Southern Conference Player of the Year, Carlos Lee, was credited with the assist. From there ASU controlled the majority of the second half, outshooting Wake the rest of the way. The Mountain­ eer spirits were dampened, however, as the Demon Dea­ cons scored with three minutes left in the contest. Again, Stark canned the goal. He was assisited by Neil Cavone, a member of the U. S. National team. Sunday, ASU again faced a nation­ ally ranked foe in the form of USC. The Gamecock booters went into the match ranked fourth na­ tionally by the I.S.A.A. and fifth by Soc­ cer America. South Carolina struck first, scoring about 20 minutes into the first half. The Mountaineers stormed back, scoring within one minute of the Gamecock goal on an unassisted score by Steve Hamilton. Hamilton's goal knotted the score, 11. With five minutes remaining in the first half, the Gamecocks again scored on goal to make the halftime score 2-1. South Carolina upped its leadto3-l by scoring six minutes into the second half. ASU quickly countered with a goal by Carlos Lee on a combined assist from David Terry and Jim Betts. From then on, both teams waged a seesaw battle, with South Carolina nurs­ ing a one-goal lead.

"After 90 minutes of play out in the heat and humidity, I thought it was a very unnecessary call," ASU Head Coach Art Rex said. Nevertheless, the Gamecocks scored on the ensuing kick and defeated ASU by a final score of 4-2. Rex stated he was pleased with his team's performance over its first three matches." Our level of play has remained consistent throughout, and if we maintain that consistency, then we're going to win a lot of games," Rex said. Rex also believes thedifficulty of ASU's early season schedule may work to the team's advantage later in the season.

If you would like to see liquor by the drink in Boone anytime soon, you might want to consider registering in Watauga County. We technically spend more time per year in this county than we do at home; therefore, we are eligible tovote here. I know many of you freshmen and sophomores would love to have a mixed drink when you turn 21 and not have to go all the way to Blowing Rock. I hope this will not be your main reason for registering but hey, if it works, just go do it. Above all I hope you realize the need for Americans to get out and vote. We have the power to put who we want in Washington and Raleigh, and it is about time that we realized the strength of "we the people." If you complain about the way the government is now and find a severe conflict of interest with its policies and procedures, please register and go vote or else, please shut up! People killing other people, with or without guns, is what troubles our society By SAM POLEY This year the university is fortunate enough to have Maya Angelou, a lented writer and educator, as the main convocation speaker. Angelou is "This country was founded on guns, professor at Wake Forest University, a best-selling author, poet, play- guns saved our necks time and time again," ight, dancer, actress, producer, director, and civil rights activist.

So many times we tier into different directions during the school year, but the convocation es everyone the chance to come together as an "Appalachian family" ore the year gets well underway. I can hear many of you saying you want to remain registered in you hometown. What you folks need to do is find out about absentee ballots from your home county. I am not just talking to North Carolinians but out-of-state students as well. More gun control won't stop the problems Appalachian Staff Writer 'acuity members should cancel classes between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. This nt is important to the vitality of the Appalachian family, and each student uld beallowed to take advantage of this oppurtunity. This instuition is one higher education, and education comes from more than just classroom ures and labs. Every convocation should serve as a learning device from ch we all can benefit. College Democrats and the College Republicans will have representatives in the Student Union to sign up students. Not only students, but any individual who wishes to register can do so here. This same group will be going to Greek meetings and RSA meetings to increase the aware­ ness of this great service and to help reach the goal of registering 4,000 students. If this is not convienent for you, you can try the board of elections office at the courthouse on King Street. It should be a law that U.S. citizens must register to vote on their 18th birthdays. We have a power that has been hidden for so very long because so many people refuse to see the importance of casting thatone vote. Many choose to whine and complain about issues they could possibly change. When I hear people complain about an existing or pending law, the first thing I ask them is if they are currently registered to vote. If the answer is no, I usually avoiddiscussing amatter with them that they did not care about until after the fact. you? If so, many airlines fly to England; grab the next available flight. If you like America, then you had better get used to the idea of guns. It is part of the foundational basis of our country. It is even in The Constitution of the United States. If you read the Second Amendment, you will see the following written, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of thepeople to bear arms shall be not infringed." Depending on how you read this, hav­ ing a gun almost becomes your constitu­ tional obligation. According to Watauga County Sheriff Red Lyons, it is an obli­ gation to have a gun. Even ifl were not a constitutional abso­ lutist, one who takes the constitution lit­ erally, I would still see no need for more gun control. There are all those screaming conser­ vatives in the world who say there should THE FAR SIDE be strict control, when, in fact, there al­ ready is. "As for the automatic guns, machine guns like these Uzis, there's already a registration law requiring people to pay a.: $200 licensing fee, to get fingerprinted and pass an FBI check before they can buy one of those babies (guns), and in the 55 years we've had that requirement not a single registered automatic has even been used in a crime, not one!" Foss said. Notice that Foss mentioned the word registered. Mostof the guns used are not reg­ istered. If guns are banned, only those individuals who in­ tend to use them for any type of nefarious purpose are going to get them. And they are going to get them through illegal chan­ nels. According to Foss, "The bad guys, these birds half-baked on crack who areliable to blast you away or cut you right in half, they're going to get guns and use them no matter how many laws you pass." If guns are banned, you would have to collect all those that are already out there. Then everyone who wanted one, or did own one, would be a criminal. Think about this. If you were going to commit a crime using a gun, would you use one registered with the government? I should think you wouldn't. Then you should think about all those individuals who have legitimate uses for weapons that are not taken into consider­ ation by whateverrestrictionistlegislation those conservatives would like to pass. What about all the single women who live alone in America? Are you going to deny them their constitutional right, or obligation, to protect themselves? Tryit,ldareyou. Conservatives would wind up with the most severe criticism and law­ suits in theirlaps that they could ever possibly dream of. According to The New England Journal of Medi­ cine, the total deaths caused by guns in 1986 exceeded 64,000. This ismore than the total number of casualties in the Vietnam War. Let us take into consideration the fact that society is larger and more violent than it used to be. The more people you have, the more cases of violence you will have. This is a given. You cannot blameguns for this increase. Guns do not talk, or have an affect on society as a whole by themselves. Just as 44 If you like America, then you had better get used to the idea of guns. It is part of the foundational basis of our country. 7? By GARY LARSON £ 1990 Universal P'ess Syndicate guns don't kill people, people kill people, guns don't give guns a bad name, people do. If anything should be blamed for the increases in violence in our society, it should be mass media. How many hours a night do you spend in front of the talking box? How much violence do you see? On the order of 30 acts of violence are viewed on prime time television per hour. As for those of you that are fighting for high control legislation, most of the weapons you deem unnecessary for pub­ lic ownership would all still be legal to own, even with strict legislation. If you are for restriction, look at these statistics from Florida. When there was a series of rapes, 3,000 women were trained to use handguns. The rape total dropped 90 percent. A federal surveyof2,000 prisoners was conducted to find out who they were more afraid of. Sixty percent said they were more afraid of armed citizens than the police. This is true because police are more heavily monitored as to who they shoot and the situation surrounding the incident. Citizens are not as heavily watched over. These statistics speak for themselves. They speak very loudly. Citizens are making a very strong case for the need to own guns. Taking them away will only open the door for increased crime rates. All this just goes to show you that you cannot deny people their constitutional rights. Ask Joe Foss, he'll tell you. Students and staff speaking their minds (sarcasm).

To the Editor; It comes as no surprise that someone with such astute credentials on military maneuvers, foreign policy and econom­ ics would have the first "Appalachian" input on the Persian Gulf crisis Mr. Haynes, you made some very interesting observations that are worth discussing. First of all, you are correct in saying that the connections between Vietnam and the Persian Gulf are flimsy...very flimsy. But it seems understandable that any movement of troops would prompt some sort of comparison. Granted, "administrative mistakes" have occurred in Vietnam and other maneuvers, but that is neither here nor now. As for any guilt you think you personally carry, that might well be cured with a quick visit to the VA hospital in Johnson City, Tenn. You'd probably encounter more than one dismembered veteran with a plate in his skull who is proud of his country today and is proud to have served it during the war.

The trigger this time was the fact that Belk Library was closed on Labor Day. I find it absolutely appalling and, from an academic standpoint, completely unacceptable for a library at any institution of higher learning to be closed on a day before classes meet. That a library is the place for scholarly research and educational study, and is often the only quiet retreat from dormitory life, has obviously been forgotten at ASU.

No. 2 Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service Since 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 •ft* ••MM mmm Thursday, September 6,1990 Professors speak out about Iraq crisis By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait over a ago has resulted in increased fuel 5ts, the stationing of U.S. troops in udi Arabia and countless opinions on w the situation should be resolved. Dr. Jawad Bargothi and Dr. David llite, two ASU professors who have tensive knowledge in the culture and ! customs of the Middle East, offered :ir opinions and insights about thecrisis the Gulf. Native Palestinian Bargothi of the pocal science department predicted the )nth situation in the Middle East will lead to a military action by the U.S. "I think we will attack Iraq and take (Hussein's) military industrial complex, the chemcial weapons, everything," Bargothi stated. To date, the only concession Hussein has made, according to Bargothi, is the release of several hundred hostages, 47 of which were American. White said he be­ lieves that Hussein is weakening but "he feels more secure as time goes by" White also said while Hussein may call the hostages "guests," they are there against their will living in deplorable conditions. White used the example of former hostage Lloyd Culbertson of El Paso, Texas. Culberton described the situation for the Americans in Kuwait as being "held without food, without water and without electricity." White acknowledges that the U.S. has been receiving support from the United Nations, some European and Middle Eastern countries and the Arab League, but he added "The troops are small in number and most of the soldiers are un­ trained." Bargothi stated that the support the U.S. is receiving "is basically talkinism," meaning that in most cases we only have promises to go on. However, some tensions have been eased somewhat by hope for Soviet support. An an­ nouncement was recently made for a Sept. 9 meeting between Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and President George Bush to discuss the Middle East crisis as well as other topics, such as arms control. While the United States may have the supportof Arab leaders, mostof the masses support Hussein and respect what he has done to Kuwait. White noted, 'There is no love for the Kuwaiti regime in the Arab world. It looks to its own interests." Bargothi also commented that Arabs also feel a great deal of resentment for the U.S. because our nation "is not seen as a friend to the people of the government in the Middle East. We do nothave an even- handed policy there. The Arab world sees inconsistency. If occupation is illegal and immoral and the U.S. is ready to lead the national community against Iraq, then it must follow the same procedure of deal­ ing with the occupation of Arab lands like Israel." The condemnation of Iraq's in­ vasion by the U.S. is being viewed as hypocritical in the Arab world due to our supportoflsrael, which has been involved in actions similar to Iraq's. In a region filled with ineffective leaders, Hussein is admired for his deci­ siveness. White maintains that Hussein has achieved his goals and explained, "When Hussein decided toinvade Kuwait, he wanted to drive up the price of oil, acquire more productive capability and wealth, punish the Kuwaitis for their greed and improve his stature in the Arab world. He had done all that." According to Time magazine's Aug. 20 edition, Arabs see Hussein as an answer to the leadership vacuum that has existed since the death of Egyptian President Abdul Nassar. Bargothi said he believes that the U.S. government has destroyed every legitimate leader in the Middle East and "now it's Saddam Hussein's turn."

The departments of computer and decision sciences also have classes in the new building. "We're all happy to be under one roof compared to being spread out across campus," said Dr. Ken Peacock, assistant dean of the College of Business. The building not only provides class­ room spacefor the 3,000 students enrolled in the business college, but at least 1,000 other students use the facility who are not enrolled in the school, according to Pea­ cock. v Students said they were impressed with the building, but they were also quick to complain. "The building is real modern and up-to -date, but I don' t like the m arker chalk boards or the lack of windows in the classrooms," finance and insurance ma­ jor Bryan Selby said. Appalachian Photo by NIcoM uuinn IT'S NOT A CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS: second home for the over 3,000 business majors on campus. The new Walker College of Business building finally opened up business college is still looking for anyone who would want the bus'ness this past summer. The $10 million structure is a new building named after him or her. According to Dr. Mary Beth EhaszSanz, director of undergraduate advising for the College of Business, the new computer labs in the business building have quickly become a popular place for students to do their computer work. The building houses the business computer lab and the department of computer in­ formation sciences. "The lab has the same computers as other labs on campus," Ehasz-Sanz said; "but our lab has more computers and also more space for students to work." Ehasz-Sanz and Peacock both said the adjustment to the new business building has not been completely fool proof. Business faculty members away from Boone for the summer had to become familiar finding their new offices and classrooms. Peacock stated that as the building opened, students could not find their classrooms since there were no signs to point out directions. According to Pea­ cock, the building'ssign contract was not fulfilled, leaving rooms unmarked. To solve the problem, the department made paper signs to direct students to their proper rooms. Many of the signs needed in the building have still not arrived. "I have a paper sign on my door, but that's fine." Peacock said. When the business building opened, students and faculty complained of fumes coming through the air conditioning vents, causing discomfort for people in the building. According to Dr. Grant Davis, dean of the College of Business, fumes from paint and new carpets were trapped inside the building since the air inside is controlled.

Dougherty Adminis­ tration Building Wednesday tostart a walk which ended at the Lois Harrell Senior Activities Center in downtown Boone to promote awareness and safety. ASU Chancellor John Thomas and his wife led the procession with other local dignitaries, includingBooncMayor Velma Burnley and SGA President Mike Scales. EightMourtaineer Escort volunteers were also part of the initial walkers. The walk was coordinated by Associ­ ate Vice Chancellor of Student Develop­ ment Barbara Daye in conjunction with the ASU News Bureau and other campus organizations tohonor andremcmber Jcni Gray, a News Bureau employee who was kidnapped almost a year ago and found dead on Jake's Mountain outside Boone. "I'm glad that you (as acommunity)are stimulating the levels of awareness again, and I'm glad that you are remembering Jcni in the process. "And when you re­ member Jeni, remember life," Bob Gray, Jeni's father, said to the crowd. Gray, who lives in Asheville, called his daugh­ ter a person "who made others feel good about themselves." Gray said that his family and her friends felt relieved about the rise in safety consciousness, pointing out how often a good thing can result from a bad event. Boone Mayor Velma Burnley empha­ sized to the crowd that they must be aware of their environment and must believe that a community such as Boone is prone to have its share of criminal acts. The mayor told the crowd to never fear asking tire involvement of the authorities after an attack, citing that the people who commit the crimes need not escape justice. One of the leadersof the walk was SGA Vice President Daryl Ghent, who called the walk "a very successful effort" be­ cause of the number of people who par­ ticipated. Ghent said: "At the stopping point of the march, I turned around to see how many people were there, and King Street looked like asolid line of people six or seven across. All of the community has truly put a positive light on safety aware­ ness." Ghent said he noticed many freshmen who took part in the walk. He considered their participation important since they were not here at the time of Jeni Gray's abduction. "For the students who were here when the incidents happened last year, the walk was effective. For the students who were not here last year, all of the things the speakers said hit home and made them think about safety," Ghent said. Daye said the speakers said "meaning­ ful things" that everyone in the audience could take to heart. 'To hear Jeni Gray's father talking about awareness yet at the same time talking about not being afraid to live was very emotional," Daye com­ mented. Daye said the coordinators, especially Speed Hallman and Jane Nicholson of the News Bureau, and Nina East of Residence Life, ought to be proud of the effort they put forth to arrange the walk. Daye called the speakers in the walk "lessons in cour­ age" for the community. "Do not withdraw from life because of your fears," Bob Gray said. "Maintain a balance in all respects, but live." Gray stated that if assaults go unreported, then the area police can be of little help. t. �^sh ®SSBLj FIRST CITIZENS BANK 'Sutler to cm/it appnnxil.

Only predictions can be made for the eventual solution to the Middle Eastern crisis but both Bargothi and White stress that an Arab solution, not an American solution needs to be found. Bargothi emphasized, "The conflict should have been resolved within the Arab League, the United Nations, or a Third World power." White added, "The Middle East is not just alandofsandandoil.

He also added that "they may hold out longer than we can," citing discontent and eco­ nomic problems in the United States. Another factor will be the tenacity of the Iraqi people. Hussein has said that it would rather eat mud than bow to a foreign power, according to White. White further expressed concern about America's reaction "to the stereotyping of Hussein" and "the lack of knowledge about the Middle East." White's opinion on Hussein is that,"He is not a madman or the world's next Hitler. He is rational, but short-sighted."

CUrrently serving as Assistant News r_ff he Appalachian " ll0r s There have been so many films like "Darkman" there should be an entire film genre named for its plot: the revenge theme. It usually follows this form: Man leads happy life. Evil person and/or gang commits hideous acts against man and/or loved ones. Man seeks revenge on those respon­ sible, usually killing them one by one. A few other movies which are popular and use such a formula are "Mad Max," the extremely violent "Robocop" and WesCraven's "Last House on the Left." Even James Bond seeks a little re­ venge these days in "License to Kill." Many movies take the revenge theme a little too far. An overly gory, unentertaining film is usually the result. Now there is Sam Raimi's "Darkman," a movie which mixes the same old theme with new and improved concepts that only Raimi could pull off as successfully as he does. Liam Nelson starts as a blue-eyed scientist who is developing false skin to help those with disfig­ expands revenge theme urements. Frances MacDormand, who was se­ verely beaten up in "Mississippi Burning," plays his girlfriend, who comes across a document link­ ing her boss and company to illegal activities. Larry Drake plays the ruthless hitman who, in searching for the docu­ ment, destroys the scien­ tist and hislab. The scien­ tist survives, however, no longer the caring re­ searcher he used to be, but the badly disfigured Darkman, who swears re­ venge on all who were the cause of his pain. The actors all give fine performances to their overblown roles that fit into the revenge theme perfectly. Neeson and MacDormand are perfect together as the lovable couple who are split apart after Neeson's terrible accident. Drake, who has gotten more press then the movie itself, wonder-, fully transforms from the retarded Bennycharacter on "L.A. Law" to his entertainingly evil and ruth­ lessly cruel character in "Darkman." The story may sound lame, and at times it is.But let's face it, most people going to see this film are not expecting deep dialogue or an intricate plot. They want to see great action and big budget effects, and Raimi, be­ ing one who has the imagination to achieve both with incredible re­ sults, delivers to the au­ dience. Many people are not aware of Raimi's past work. He is the master­ mind behind the very creative cult classic "The Evil Dead" and its se­ quel "Evil Dead 2." R aimi is able to pick up on many elements most movies of this type painfully neglect and blend them with his imagina­ tive and exciting story. For example, Raimi has a talented eye for thecamera. Throughout "Darkman," u The story may sound lame, and at times it is. But let's face it, most people going to see this film are not expecting deep dialogue or an intricate plot. 99 the camera is constantly in motion, and Raimi is able to turn something as simple as a zoom into a powerful and effect shot. In one scene, Raimi takes an average revenge killing and combines it with his stylish photography to create such an effective product, you will never look at a manhole the same way again. The special effects in "Darkman" are truly inge­ nious. Some, of course, may be a little graphic for some viewers,such as the scientist's hands melting away, but most are brilliant, such as a revolving door scene with two Larry Drakes that is bound to become a classic. The ever popular Danny Elfman wrote the "Darkman" musical score, which adds immensely to the movie's intensity. He easily outdoes his "Beetlejuice" track and presents a musical explo­ sion to the screen which blows away his "Batman" score with a thunderous volume. All of the elements to"Darkman" come together well for a movie with a plot we have all seen a number of times. Director, story creator, and coscreen writer Raimi is able to place all of the pieces to the puzzle together in a different creative way to produce a surprisingly entertaining film. Angelou slated to speak "The Politics of Race" addressed at convocation By SALLY KUHL Diversions Editor She was appointed by Dr. Martin Luther King to serve at the Southern Christian Leadership Con­ ference. Angelou produced, directed and starred along with Godfrey Cambridge in the play,"Cabaret for Freedom." The proceeds from the play went to support Dr. King's work.

ASU pushed the ball 71 Is in just 1:44 on the go-ahead drive. The drive was marked by two passes by sophomore quarterback DJ. Campbell, a nine-yard completion to sophomore A1 Ellis and a 18 yarder to junior tight end Loren Price. Campbell then ran a QB option to his right; and after covering about 10 yards on his own, he pitched to Reaves who marched the remaining 30 yards to the end zone. The 41-yard score gave the Mountaineers its first lead of the contest, 17-10. "It was an outstanding effort by their quarterback (Campbell)," Riley said. "He's the guy that kept things going all day long."Campbell finished the day with 48 yards on the ground and 110 yards in the air as he completed nine of his 16pass attempts. The Mountaineers thencompleted their 10:18 surge and extended their lead to 2410. With just under 10minutes to go in the third quarter, ETSU tailback Cedric Watson fumbled the pigskin deep in his own territory and sophomore outside linebacker Steve Patterson was there to make the ASU recovery. This time Reaves needed just one play to get into the end zone as he spun off would-be tacklers at the nine-yard line of scrimmage and scurried past the goal line to give Appalachian the 24-10 advantage. The Bucs fought back, going 91 yards to score their next possession. An ASU interception and touchdown by senior linebacker Dwayne Pelham was called back on the drive as the Mountaineers were flagged for pass interference. The penalty put the ball in ASU territory for the Bucs. Two Meredith passes later, the ETSU squad had pulled to within seven, 24-17. The touchdown came on a 35yard, over-the-shoulder pass completion from Meredith to senior Kevin Phipps. A Millson 37-yard field goal put the ' Mountaineers ahead by 10, but the Buc­ caneers closed to within three, 27-24, with 10:01 to play. The Bucs received the ball just 20 yards shy of the goal-line when sophomore punter Harold Alexander mishandled a snap on fourth down and was dropped for a loss. The Mountaineers forced the Bucs to use every available down to score, as the App goal-line defense held touch until fourth down. Then, with fourth-and-goal from the two, Meredith faked the handoff and lofted the ball into the left corner of the end zone to a wide open Dan LaForest. The score brought the Bucs to within three, 27-24, with just over 10 minutes to play in the contest. The Mountaineers made useof the clock and sealed the victory with an Ellis touchdown with 34 seconds to play. The score came as Ellis handled a bounced Campbell pitch and carried the pigskin into the left corner of the endzone. TheTD gave the Mountaineers the 34-24 victory. Moore said that the squad's ability to used the clock was important in the win. "We work on staying inbounds and using up the clock," he said. Following the action, Moore com­ mented, "I really felt like we were a little bit tight at the start of the game." Moore attributed the hole theMountaineers found themselves in at the beginning of the game to the team's tightness. "...We have to be pleased we could overcome after getting ourselvesin such a hole,"Mooresaid."Thepositiveside...we started off in ahole against a good football team. They're (ETSU) not going to roll over. I don't know how we will be or they will be three or four weeks from now, but today they were a good football team." Reaves, in his first collegiate start, finished as the game's leading rusher, going 150 yards on 26 carries with three touchdowns. "Last year was a learning experience)" Reaves said. "I gained a lot of knowledge watching Melchor (Ritchie Melchor, ASU's leading rusher a year ago with 1376 yards on the season) run."

Dudan picked up 10 of Laney named interim director By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor ASU has a new but familiar face run­ ning the athletic department this year. Roachel Laney took over as interim athletic director in mid-July, replacing Jim Garner, who left ASU to become athletic director at Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Laney has been a part of the ASU athletic department for 15 years, serving in various capacities. .. "I originally came to ASU as an assis­ tant football coach. I coached with Jim Brakefield for four years," Laney said. "When he retired, I stayed and did athletic fundraising for three years.Then Jim Gar­ ner brought me on as associate athletic director for seven years." Laney still performs the duties of as­ sociate athletic director, in addition to his athletic director position. "I'm involved in the day to day opera­ tions, marketing, scheduling and looking after the direction of all 18 sports offered at ASU," Laney said. Laney said that even though his official title is interim athletic director, he doesn't feel like he's on trial. "I don't feel like I'm being judged by what I'm doing," Laney said. "People know what my capabilities are. My re­ sponsibilities are the same as if I were athletic director without the title before it." Laney believes that ASU has one of the best athletic programs of any university its size. "We offer 18different sports and we're successful in them," Laney said. "In my assessment, this is oneof the best jobs that an athletic director could want." Because of his new position, Laney will have to give up one of his favorite pastimes—high school and college sports officiating. "I have already given up football offici­ ating and I will curtail high school and college basketball," Laney said. "I would like to umpire baseball in the spring but officiating is more of a hobby." While Laney serves as interim athletic director, a search is underway to find a permanent replacement for Gamer.

Tim Horton, Charles Evans and Chris Bequette all join the Mountaineeer staff this year, with Horton serving as wide receiver coach, Evans coaching the tight ends and Bequette being named assistant offensive line coach. Horton moves into the wide receiver coaching position left vacant when Danny Nutt left the Mountaineer staff after last seasonforajobatArkansasTcch. Horton, who played at the University of Arkansas while Moore served as an assistant there, said that knowing what Moore expects from players has helped him in his transi­ tion to ASU. "I played at Arkansas and was a three-year starter at wide receiver," Horton said. "Having been around coach Moore during that period, I know how he coaches and what he expects from play­ ers." Moore is happy to have Horton on his staff and said he is a "competitive player" with a"unique background" for coaching. Despite his addition, Horton said not to look for any major changes in the ASU passing game this year. According to him, the team will keep the same philoso­ phy, but there will be a change in certain formations and motion, thus giving op­ posing defenses a different look. Evans joins Appalachian's staff after previously serving as a graduate assistant at East Carolina and, more recently, as a coach in the Fayetteville, N.C., school system. Evans coached at South View High and Terry Sanford High during his two-year stint in Fayetteville. This is the first year Moore has had a tight end coach on the ASU staff. Last year, the tight ends werehandledby David Browning, the offensive line coach. The new coaching position will allow the Mountaineer tight ends more individual­ ized, specialized training.

Senior co-captain Tammy Craig had seven kills and the best kill percentage for the team. The Lady Apps also received some very consistent play from Freshman Michelle Wright. The Mountaineers' next home appear­ ance will be in the Piccadeli Invitational Tournament on Friday and Saturday,Sept. 7 and 8. They will play three matches during die tournament: one on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Varsity Gymnasium See NETTERS page 9 With the addition of four home matches and eight new recruits, this season's ASU field hockey squad looks to improve on last year's 5-12-1 overall record. Head Coach Karen Poole, entering her second year at the helm, hopes to fully utilize the talent found in each of her 14 players. Poole said the team's six returning players are "key to a cohesive team." Junior Dana Alberico and senior Libba Shannonhouse hold up a strong Appala­ chian defense as sweeper and goalie. Sophomores Shannon Smith and Sara Hopkinson keep the offense in the opponent's circle. Between the forwards and the halfbacks are the links Luann DeGroat, a senior, and Melissa Puckett, a sophomore. They act as a connection from the defense to the front line. Shannonhouse, with 151 saves, was named most valuable player last season and went to the national championships representing the Southeast's first team. DeGroat and Smith were selected for the third and fifth Southeast teams respec­ tively. Along with the veterans, the squad contains eight newcomers. "Cohesion of the eight new players will take time and that flexibility in positioning won't be rushed," Poole said. "I intend to ease the recruits into the game by placing them in positions they are comfortable with. In time, the team will gel together with both experienced players and less experienced players." Poole sees this as a year of learning for the young Mountaineers. "We won't al­ ways get results because we are still a learning team," she said, "but we will cope with it. We will go out and fight to win every game. Teams like Catawba barely beat us in the last few minutes (last season). This year we will have new atti­ tudes and fresh minds to 'pumpup' against these teams." "Wake Forest will be strong and as always, Dukeis a step above,"Poole said. "However, we are looking forward to a winning season." Poole also commented that Davidson should be strong due to many returning players. The squad begins seasonal play next Wednesday, Sept. 12, as they travel to face Wake Forest.

"We will continue to do the same things. The difference is that the position will get more individual training," Evans said. The same can be said of Bequette and the offensive line. "Every year you have to re-evaluate and make slight changes in your game plan," Bequette said. "Unless you go 12-0 the year before, there will be small changes. But basically, we'll do the same things up front as last year." Moore had wanted to bring in an as­ sistant offensive line coach last year, but was unable to do so.

Thursday. September 6.1990 Wake rivalry resumes By SHEA GRIFFIN "This isnot aconference game, but itis a very important game," Durham said. "We consider Wake Forest to be a big rival. It would give us a big boost if we play well, or it could be a real downer if we play badly." Last season, the Mountaineers, paced by a strong rushing attack and six Demon Deacon turnovers, defeated Wake Forest 15-10. ASU outgained Wake Forest 273-90 on the ground, and as a result, were able to maintain possession of the ball for over nine minutes longer than the Deacons. AHtetonl Sporta Editor The ASU Mountaineers look to con­ tinue their winning ways Saturday as they ^travel to Winston-Salem tomeet the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Both teams played their first game of the season this past Saturday; however, •the results were quite different. ASU de-fealed conference foe East Tennessee State, 34-24, while Wake Forest lost to the Rice Owls on the road, 33-17. The ASU-WakeForest series has turned into quite a rivalry. Wake Forest has an 83-1 edge in the series, but the games have The Mountaineers also had an excep­ been remarkably close.

Campbell struggled against the Deacons last year,completing only 10 of 28 passes for 59 yards with no touch­ downs and one interception. The Deacons return 15 starters from last year's 2-8-1 squad, including quar­ terback Phil Barnhill. Missing from last season's starters are wide receiver Ricky Proehl and placekicker Wilson Hoyle, both lost to graduation.The duo accounted for llOof the Deacon's 194points scored last year. Dooley has a career record of 148-1075 and a 15-17-2 mark with the Deacons. Jerry Moore, head coach of the Moun­ taineers, improved his record at ASU to 10-3 with Saturday's win. Durham said the game carries a lot of signifigance regarding bragging rights. "It feels good to say we beat an ACC opponent," Durham said.

Save the trees Last year Chancellor Thomas proclaimed the 1989-90 academic year as the "Year of the Environment." This hit home with the ASU community as the programs established encouraged students to take a stand for the envi­ ronment. ASU began a recycling program, and students actively expressed their thoughts on the environment through commentaries in the newspaper, through support of recycling efforts, and through protests. 1990 has come and gone, but a new academic year is here. Students need to continue to support the university in its efforts to clean up the environment. ! Recycling on a campus-wide level is a great idea, and students should put forth the effort to continue using this service by recycling all cans, paper, newspaper and glass. Last year's program was a tremendous success as more than 3,000 tons of trash were recycled. Be conscious of the potential for recycling; don't throw away things that are recyclable. It only takes two minutes to recycle something, and that minimum effort saves air, trees and precious resources. Recycling is an important step in the preservation of our natural resources, and everyone needs to do his or her part. Recycling bins have been set up in most of the buildings across campus, jl and Residency Life is currently in the process of placing recycling bins ^outside of EaSjt Residence Hall in an effort toencobrag'eallstuddrits to rbcy^cle. _ Students should not only use this bin but should encourage Residence Life to •install other recycling bins outside of every residence hall across campus. Talk to your student government senator in the residence halls, and encourage your RA to speak with Residence Life to strengthen the recycling efforts. Volunteer your time and energy into placing these bins outside the residence halls and then use them. Encourage your neighbors to recycle. Residence Life is also in the process of establishing workshops to educate students, faculty and staff of the importance of recycling and the proper way to recycle products. Residence Life plans to appoint a recycling representa­ tive to insure that the bins are cleaned and encourage students to participate in the program. Residence Life is taking such positive steps to insure that this program remains an active part of ASU. If you work in an office on campus, make sure your office is participating in this recycling project. Ask your co-workers to consciously make the effort to recycle and to use recyclable products. Call Jim Rice, director of civil landscape and engineering at ASU, at 262-3190 and ask him how your area can get involved in the recycling efforts. The town of Boone has also implemented a recycling program, and it's wonderful that everyone is com ing together to save our environ men t. A1 though the program only serves the single family homes of Boone, students would like to see the program extended to the apartment complexes so they can do their part. Apartment residents should call their complex management and have them call Ann Beardsley at 262-4556 to establish a recycling program. If students, faculty, staff and citizens of Boone all do their part, the world will be a much safer, healthier and more beautiful place to live. It's amazing show a little extra effort can make the difference. So before you throw away that piece of paper—think twice, save a tree. ,1 THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Wear black and gold with pride >1 Now that the school year is underway, one essential item still remains to be addressed. ASU needs school spirit. Maybe I should rephrase that by saying ASU needs more school spirit. Why? I think that there are several answers to that question. School spirit is a part of the total college experience. It helps a person to instill pride, devotion and loyalty to a certain body. By wearing an App sweatshirt when you go home, people know that you are proud of your school (and that you were smart enough not to go to UNC or NCSU.) Little school spirit is a reflection on the university in the eyes of the community, other schools and the public in general. When few students go to football, basketball or other games, the opponents do not sense a home court disadvantage and are not affected by playing on an away court. The community, when it sees little student support, also reduces its support to the school. This could lie in the form of money for athletics, club projects or possibly discounts for AS U students.That might sound a bit extreme, but why should they support a cause which is not even supported by the student body.The higher-ups who regard school spirit are the administration, large corporations and sports as­ sociations. If the administration determines that there is a lack of participation by students, they probably would not hesitate to refuse a request for a bonfire at homecoming. The larger corporations might just decrease the amount of grants or contributions to the school, which could cause someone to lose a scholarship or a department not to get a computer. The sports associations would rank ASU very Greysen Tew low for apossible play-off game at home and definitely not consider the school be moved into a higher division. How does a person increase his school spirit? A most important step is daring to stay in Boone on the weekends. Unfortunately there are only three more times this season that we can cheer for the Mountaineers at home. These games promise to be worth sacrificing free laundry and a homecooked meal.There areseveral things a personcould do on Friday night to kill some time including going to a movie, staying at home and renting movies with friends, going to Legends or doing the classic college thing: a pregame drinking to oblivion party. The trip home could simply be postponed until after the game. Another way to demonstrate school spirit is to wear black and gold to the games. I could understand not wanting to wear the school colors if they were orange,lime green or puke yellow, but black and gold are really sharp1. There is no need for having to coordinate and outfiti Seeing an opposing side dominate with black is an ir|t timidating site to a visiting team and its fans. However, li} our team, it gives a great boost of confidence. ACC fans can be an example to the efforts of wearing school colors. UNC fans institute a Blue Blitz for every game. One group of students, Carolina Fever, goes over, board by painting their bodies in light blue and white) Clemson's ugly orange can be seen several miles before entering the city limit. At Alabama the entire stadium except for the "isitor's section is covered in crimson. Poor attendance at games hinders the sports program in.) several ways. Low attendance is a contributing factor in 1 having to play post-season games away. This causes the ? school and the community to lose money. If more people.) would go to basketball games (men's and women's), then) maybe some opponents would not object to the proposed SAC. If last season's East Tennessee State game was duplicated every game, then some of the opposition could be shown the need for a big arena. But you aresaying, "Hey, weonly have three morehome games this year." This is true. So show your support at away games also. Last year at the ASU-Wake game, we had a great crowd that raised all kinds of chaos and helped push our team to the Wake tailkicking. Away games can really be fun because you can tailgate to the max, act like a fool because no one knows you, and take a well-needed break from campus and a mini-vacation of sorts. Go Apps! See ya at the game. We all must protect the First Amendment Those who watch their rights being taken from them are part of the problem By JOSEPH KALE Appalachian Staff Writer I was talking to a friend the other day about activism on campus and in com­ munities. We were discussing how one goes about working to bring changes or ptevent certain changes from taking place wiifen stejSaid sSfnethifTg/o the Effect of "Well, there's not really anything you can do about most things." This has been the attitude of people our age for quite along time now, and you can see where it's getting us. It is probably no accident that the raising of the drinking age was so easily perpetrated upon us: Ours is the group of people least likely to vote. Legislators may act with impunity, safe in the knowledge that scarcely any­ thing will happen to them at the polls. Here's one that's happening now: the N.C. Legislature has cut millions of dol­ lars from the education budget, which in time will result in a reduction in the op­ portunities and services available to those of us in the university system. Nothing was cut from the budget for building more correctional facilities,despite the fact that more prisons are going to do less for the crime rate than good economic opportu­ nities and solid communities. Sooner or later they are going to hit us with a new one, mandatory drug testing. There have been moves made to institute drug testing in the whole university sys­ tem. We already have a more or less mandatory policy for athletes in the sys­ tem (I know officials claim it's voluntary, but they also say things like, "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play groups from all over the country.

One of the most important decisions I have had to make to date is whether or not to rush. I hope to get involved at ASU, meet people, and possi­ bly form lasting friendships. I personally believe a fraternity is the best way to accomplish all of this, but the horror sto­ ries floating around campus have pro­ voked some serious thought on the sub­ ject. Innocent and carefree, Stuart's left hand didn't know what the right was doing. "If we pull this off, we'll eat like kings. up and dance and move around. Well, this stadium was set up about like any other. There are giant sets of bleachers on either side of the field, with the two endzones open.

APPALACHIAN ST/ RSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday August 30,1 Assembly provides money for SAC By SHAWN O'NEAL firmed" by the assembly and that further studies in engineering andbuilding design can now go into effect. Appalachian News Editor [he "short session" of the North Caroi General Assembly proved beneficial ASU as the legislative body approited 2.5million dollars to the university h two million of the dollars to serve as ial funding for the Seby Jones Student ivities Center. enate Bill 1427 passed over the sum, thereby releasing money to over 30 »rams statewide that were frozen in the 'ious fiscal year because of the state emment's economic shortfall. ASU jived all of the money it was promised year, which consisted of the earlier itioned financing for the center along i another $500,000fora new academic tort building. iSU Chancellor John Thomas said he 'oleased the project had been reaf­ In related SAC news, a June meeting of ASU's boardof trusteesresulted inchanges in thedesign and landscaping forthe center. A three-acre parking lot has been deleted from the site on Kidd Brewer Stadium Upper Field, and contractors have been told to transport almost50,000cubicyards of earth dug up in construction instead of following the original plan, which called for filling in a 12-acre area with the dirt. Thomas defended the scrapping of the proposed parking lot since the center is already near existing parking lots, the largest being the stadium lot. The access road planned to link the center with N.C. 105 has also felt the impact of budgetary scissors. The halfw mile road was reduced from four-lanes to two-lanes as a result of the meeting. The new road plan also calls for a "parkway" which follows the terrain of the area instead of a thoroughfare that would "empty or evacuate the campus", according to the chancellor. The road will be the first visible sign of progress, since transport trucks will use it to carry away the dirt while construction crews use it to bring in materials. Traffic on campus, as a result of the design changes, is to be unaffected. The rest ot the assembly's allocation ti the center, at least $8 million, is expecte< to be given to the university when the stati legislature convenes in Raleigh in January to start the 1991 "long session." ASU Student Government's secretar of student affairs Randy Yelton said h supported the initial funding for both th SAC and the new academic suppor building, but also commented on the neei to repair and upgrade the current physica plant facilities on campus. The plans for site reduction reduce the original estimate of $2 million for site preparation by $500,000. "The physical plant needs to be on th< university's priority list," Yelton said. A present, any new buildings would not b< able to go "on-line" with the existinj physical plant since the current plant i: under limitations by the state departmen of development and commerce. Thi: department monitors the air quality ol physical plants according to national en vironmental regulations. What Thomas called "dramatic adjust­ ments" in the plan are not to affect the size of the building. Thomas told the trustees the building could not be cut back in size because ASU needed all the space the building would provide. "WUIU puviut. Rook costs rise again The plant did receive 50,000 dollars in June to begin interim corrections at the plant, which uses three oil-fueled and one coal-fueled boiler. Physical Plant manager Bill Winkler said the money received will also be used for computer testing and simulation of plant repairs to see whether repair designs can properly solve current plant problems. Winkler commented that the plant did need both short-term and long-term corrective measures attended to, since air quality regulators would like to inspect a plant ready to generate more steam in order to handle demands of an expanding campus. Not all of the state's public universities fared as well as ASU did inreceiving state money. UNC Chapel Hill requested a combined total of over $10.6 million to expand its college of business and its social work building. The school ended up receiving only three-fourths of the money, a total combined grant of $7.5 million. N. C. State University asked for a total of $8 million--$6 million for a new engineering graduatecenter and $2 million for the Centennial Center, NCSU's pro­ posed 25,000 seat arena to be built on the state fairgrounds site in Raleigh. The school, however, only received half of the money it requested. Yelton said the money supplied by the bill "goes to show the state isn't in as much trouble" as is often suggested by the number of cuts the state has made, espe­ cially cuts made in higher education. "General fees were increased by $41.50," Yelton said, "and everyone in charge of the budget said that the fee was a one-time increase, and I think a student has to really be in left field to believe that."

The $14.45 markup increased the value of the book one-third over the cost on the covered sticker. ASU Bookstoremanager RobyTriplett admitted that book prices usually rise by 15 percent annually. Included in the sell­ ing price is a markup of 20 to 40 percent, but Triplett said all prices, with markups included, are set by the publisher. "Contrary to many students' beliefs, our bookstore, and most any other book­ store anywheredoesn'tmake much money selling books," Triplett said. Students are not the only groupon cam­ pus who have problems with the rental system. Dr. Timothy Silver, aprofessor in the history department, said the greatest problem with the rental system was not the price markup or that not all classes are covered by the program, but that many of the texts are ineffective in teaching any­ thing. A new school year has once again ared, and with the new yearcomes every ident's twice-annual frustration of liting inlines to buy books, or in thecase ASU students, waiting in line to buy aks or waiting to receive books issued the textbook rental program. Students at ASU need not purchase all tbooks, a slight advantage compared to ler universities. But new students often n'trealize that textbooks other than the oks given through rental are needed, glish major April Atchley said she reves manybooks through the rental proun, but still has to buy between $200 i $300 worth of books every semester her classes. Business major Rusty Futchel said his ijor complaint about the rental program s that even rental books are marked up value by the university. His example s the rental textbook "Marketing" by "Very often a textbook suitable for the terD. Barrett. Two yellow "used book" rental program tends to be very dry," said :kers have prices covered by black per­ Silver. All rental textbooks have to be cent marker ink. According to Futchel, agreed upon by all members of a faculty e sticker bears the name of a company department. For example, all history pro­ own as Maryland Book Exchange and a fessors have to agree on the same textbook to use for a freshman-level World Civili­ zations class, and that can lead, according to Silver, to a department picking a text that is the least offensive to any group of people that may use the book. Silver said since textbooks have so many facts that are forced together, the textbook has no room to include the latest informa­ tion on a subject. Due to the long process dealt with in textbook publishing, a text can t inform and also be on the cutting edge of research, Silver commented. Textbooks attempt to cover everything, but in the end really don't cover anything the way it should be covered," Silver said. Paperback books are often the greatest expense for a student after tuition. Supplemental textbooks are also needed for many classes since the textbooksgiven out by rental are either used solely for reference or often never used. Atchley said she s had to buy many paperbacks which her English professors have as­ signed. Yet she admitted there are some books she neverneeded to use.

The first change combined two cabinet positions, off-campus affairs andcommu­ nity affairs. According to Ghent, this change occurred afterSGA President Mike Scales and Ghent discovered both posi­ tions served the same purpose. Both Scales and Ghent stated that they felt the position would eliminate the need for extra cabinet members for the organization. "Basically what we are trying to do is streamline some of the positions to make the organization more effective," Ghent said. The position will now be titled offcampus/community affairs and will con­ tinue to serve as the liaison between stu­ dents and the Boone community. This position was created to inform students about what is happening in the commu­ nity while advising and directing students with consumer problems they might en­ counter. Steven Schmotzer currently serves as chairperson for this position. Scales and Ghent have also placed minority affairs back into student affairs as a sub-committee in the department. According to Ghent, the minority affairs position was an additional and unneces­ sary position for a group who was already well-represented in SGA. "For example, you would not have a separate Greek affairs committee, women's affairs committee or an athletics affairs committee. You would not have two comm i ttces do ing the same jobs. Mike and I saw it as a waste of time and re­ sources, according to Ghent. The posi­ tion was created last year under the Brad Edwards/Pat Woo ten ticket and served as the liaison between minorities and SGA. Scales added: "The position only seg­ regates minorities from other students in­ stead of integrating them. As a minority myself, I have complete faith in the stu­ dent affairs position to serve the entire student body. That is what the student affairs position was created to do—serve all the students." The student affairs po­ sition was created to help students deal with problems they might encounter on campus, i.e. security, food services, etc... Student Affairs Director Randy Yelton said: " I am pleased that this falls in my department. I have strong feelings about minorities on campus. I plan to use every resource on campus to ensure that other students are awareof these groups." Yelton added that he felt minorities should be heard <n SGA as well as across campus. "We do feel representation is needeu from all aspects of our campus. For that reason we plan to get groups like BSA (Black Student Association), "The Appa- See SGA page 2 THE APPALACHIAN Coming to you every Tuesday and Thursday this year.

APPALCART SERVICE EXPANDED: Due to heavy ridership demand, AppalCART now runs the Express Route one hour earlier than its previously scheduled starting time. The Express Routenow begins at 7:30a jn. at the Boone Mall. The change was made due to the company's need to send out an extra bus three times during the day to meet demand on the Red Route. Since the Express Route serves many of the same areas as the Red Route, beginning the Express Route an hour earlier will provide more rush hour capacity. AppalCART schedules do no reflect the time changes so students need to take note of the change themselves. PAISLEY NAMES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF COUNSELING CEN1 ER: Dr. Robert T.

Data such as speed and altitude are taken by the computer, which thereby uses the information to adjust the work of machines, suchas adjusting a space shuttle to outside conditions to allow a safe landing. The minicomputer replaces a modified personal computer, which ran programs 100 times slower than the new model. The new computer also allows greater access from various points on campus. The computer has been linked to the campus computer network, and micro­ phones can also be used to store and send data since the computer allows for verbal commands. TheU.S. Department of Education also issued $80,000 for the renewal of the Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowship pro­ gram. The fellowships arenamed after the secretary of Housing and Urban Devel­ opment during the Jimmy Carter admin­ istration, who was also the first black woman appointed toa presidential cabinet. Money from the grant is awarded to mi­ nority students pursuing graduate degrees in fields with a shortage of minority stu­ dents. This is the third year ASU has received funding forthe program, allowingrenewal for three existing fellowships and the ad­ dition of two more fellowships. Each fellowship is valued at $16,000 each.

Hi! My name is Teresa Smith, and I am your new Et Cetera editor for this year. There has been a topic that has been constantly written gnd rewritten about, but that I believe can never be stressed enough. This topic has been bothering me for the last two weeks that I have been back in Boone. Has everyone noticed the beautiful flowers planted all over campus? If you haven't, you need to go out and look before students trash them all. Yes, this is an article on trash. I can't think of many people who find trash attractive, besides Oscar the Grouch, of course. It is rather repulsive to see loads of trash lining the streets, on hiking trails, in planned gardens, every­ What would you do with44 tons of trash? Most people would have no answer to this question, but Jim Rice,director of Civil/Landscape Engineering at the physical plant, has a definite solution. Since October, when the first pickups began, 44 tons of material have been picked up and recycled. The majority of this material is paper products. "Ba­ sically the physical plant has taken 3,000 tons of paper (per year) away from the campus", Rice said. There seems to be only benefit from the recy­ cling process. Not only is itconserving necessary resources, itentails alargerevenue. Revenue from recycled material sales equaled $2,475 and the abatement avoidance credit at the landfill totaled $809.

Teresa Smith Even further to the point, though, is that beer Cans aren't the only form of trash down this Particular road. People seem to have brought all their trash — everything from diapers to empty detergent containers. This is perterbing! Since practically no one lives down this road, the trash is in no one's yard and the state i doesn't provide maintenence on this road, so it ls rarely picked up. An absolutely wonderful program in North -arolina is the Adopt-A-Highway Program. An 'rganization or group can adopt a highway, ueaning they assume responsibility for the pwe," if yOU will, of that road. They clean the 'des of the road every so often, and in return, >ave a sign posted on their road with the )rganization's name on it.

There s surely a trash can within five miles of you. An " Weren't for your sloppiness, there would be no leed for cleanup crews and everyone could place cu sights on more important issues than your fash. ^Editor's Note: Teresa Smith is a sophomore major. She currently serves as the Et Editor. ASU hopes to have plastic recycling early next year. All students are encouraged to help in the effort to aid ASU in its effort to improve resource conservation and reduce waste. "If (we're) not already the best program in the university system, we (ASU) soon will be, but we like to think that we already are," Rice said. Scales and Ghent "putpieces together" By TERESA SMITH Et Cetera Editor "Putting the pieces together" was the campaign theme of Michael Scales and Daryl Ghent, as they ran for SGA President and Vice President, re­ spectively. Now they are striving to accomplish this by bringing all parts of campus and all types of students together to create one common bond. Ghent said "We want to get a lot of people involved in student government. In the past, the student government has been comprised of acertain group and a lot of students didn't know how to be a part of student government." SGA is an organization based on voicing student opinion, representing students in dealing with faculty and staff, and improving the university for students on a consumer level. President Scales is a junior from King, N-C.Jfi? major is psychology, and he intends to attend graduate school to secure a degree in industrial psychology. He has been a member of the ASU marching band for fouryears,playing the baritone. He is interested in music of ail sorts. His running mate Vice President Ghent, is also a junior and is from Marion, N.C. He is a political science major. He enjoys reading, most all sports, and is interested in state and national politics. ? I realize that by this point many of you think I am a rambling English major going on and on about the beauty of the earth; especially if you aren't very interested in conservation, preserva­ tion or saving the world. This I may be, but hopefully at least a few of you understand the mood I am trying desperately to create. My last gripe is about lining the streets with trash. I am from a small town just south of Hickory, N.C. It is quite a rural area. This tummer, I found a shortcut to work — a very dusty and winding dirt road through the woods. Very few people live down this road, so it leems to be a favorite spot for beer-drinking youngsters to hide away until they finish that fix-pack. Unfortunately, as they finish the sixpa?k, they exterminate the evidence by simply ditching it out the window. It is really quite a fhame, due to the fact that this area is really Juite pretty. They are also trying to use re-usable drink containers. Students will recieve a discountfor re­ using these containers. Leaders begin year where! I was really impressed to return to school to see all the great greenery. I've always loved the mountains and everything connected to them (even the weather!). But when I saw all the landscaping that had been done all over campus, I was even more glad to return. Until, that is, I began to see small articles of plastic and paper that didn't belong there. Small, I do admit, but nevertheless, uncomplimentary pieces of trash. Is there anyone who is college age who has not yet figured out what a trash can is for? It is not like there are not any available trash cans on campus. It isn't extremely hard to find one on any part of the campus. And even if there isn't one directly beside of you as you finish your drink, could you not hang on to that cu for a few minutes more, until reach one? And since you can see that we are headed in that direction, how about recycling your trash. Recycling saves the university massive amounts of money. See a related article on this page for more details. Yesterday, I went hiking out at Hebron Colony, off Highway 105. It was sad to see all of the trash thrown everywhere near the entrance of the trail. Hebron Colony, in itself, is absolutely beautiful. It was well-worth the climb up the rocks to look down the river and see everything. Sitting on a rock out there, nature just overwhelms me. It is so peaceful, yet to hear the water rushing over the rocks creates a sense of power. It is almost as if you are the first person to ever sit out there. Hopefully, it will remain just as beautiful in years to come so everyone else will have the joy of seeing it. All campus recycling profits are rendered by the campus. Many departments and services ar trying to join in the profitable practice. Fo Services is installing a cardboard baling machi) because it uses as much cardboard a: a largo grocery store. Both were in high school government, and both oppose budget cuts in education and raised tuition to makeup for shortfall s in the budget.They define themselves as "pro-student," supporting anything that supports the student. The team stresses team work, efficiency and organization, and believes that when all three of these are met, there will be an effective student government. In stressing teamwork. Scales is quick to point out that neither of the student leaders has "a chip on (his) shoulder. We don't put ourselves above Mike Scales and Daryl Ghent anyone else, and we are very receptive to new ideas." Ghent added, "Any student who has an idea about ho w to make our university better is urged to come to student government and share his ideas with us. The more heads working together to find solutions, the more ideas we'llbe able togenerate." The natural pattern of passing a bill is remark­ ably similar to that of state andnational government. Any student can bring an idea to a senator (there are two in each residence hall and 39 off-campus representatives). The idea is then passed on to the Student Gov­ ernment Committee for research and then to the Rules Committee. There is then a vote on the Senate floor, over which the vice president re­ sides. The president then either passes or vetoes the bill, in which case the bill returns to the Senate (qr a majority vote. If the president passes die bill, it is then taken to the vice chancellor for Student Development, then to Chancellor Thomas and eventually to the board of trustees. To hold a position from president down to senator, students nominate themselves. ASU has the largest student senate in the state, with 73 members. The positions of president and vice president are rewarding, but also challenging and very timeconsuming. Required of each leader each week is 15 hours spent in the office, but often 25 hours are worked. Payment is on a stipend rate so hours are not always monetarily rewarded. The job of the vice president is to head the legislative branch of student government. He takes ideas and opinions from the students to the president. The president heads the executive branch. He is an administrative student member of the board of trustees and a non-voting member See LEADERS page 9 Volunteers prepare freshmen for year ahead By DIANNE WALLY Managing Editor and TERESA SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Do you remember being a freshman? You got lost at least three times on your way to every class. When you tried to call home, you could only get through to the Leona Helmsley Hotline. And you rode around for hours on the Appalcart trying to find the Sanford Mall stop, so you could do some shopping. Well, the university offers a program to help freshmen avoid the many embarrassments of be­ ing new students and to make the transition from home life to campus life. Freshmen Orientation Phase II is led by students called Appol Corps leaders. These leaders are upperclassmen who spend over 4,650 hours of volunteered time to help freshmen become oriented with the campus. The Appol Corps leaders serve, in a sense, as mentors to the new students because often these are the first upperclassmen the freshmen meet. Appol Corps leaders often encourage the stu­ dents to get in contact with them throughout the year if they have problems or questions. Inexchange for long, hard hours, the Appol Corps leaders recieve only T-shirts, several meals, and verbal thanks. Dino Dibernardi, associate director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership as well as the coordinator for Phase II Orientation, said, "People who say volunteerism is dead need only to look at the Appol Corps program to be proven wrong." The success of the Appol Corps program is perhaps due to the set-upof the program. About 85 percent of the program is designed for student-tostudent contact. Incoming students are usually better able to relate to other students. The Appol Corps leaders are able to give honest, well-in­ formed answers about situations they have also faced. "Peer to peer contact is the hallmark of the Appol Corps program," Dibernardi said. The program is designed to place 20-25 freshmen under each Appol Corps leader. The students are usually placed with theirroommate and floormates to strengthen the spirit of community life. This year, 83 Appol Corps leaders helped with the program. To obtain a position as an Appol Corps leader, students apply in the spring ana are selected by six returning leaders. When choosing Appol Corps leaders, student coordinators look for such skills and personality traits as good com­ munication, positive attitudes and academic suc­ cess, as well as extracurricular activities. Appol Corps leaders need to be well-rounded. If chosen, they are trained in a spring session and also the Thursday-Saturday before the freshmen arrive. The student coordinators design the program and agenda. This year, the student coordinators were Jeff Aker, Suzanne Swanson, Paula Biggerstaff, Amy Rozzel, Elisa Mackie and Kristi Burgess. Dibernardi said, "I am real proud of the job the leaders and coordinators did in giving the fresh­ men a head start." decisions in the first four to six weeks of school. Approximately 15 hours a week are spent in class, 20 to 21 hours studying, 10 hours eating and 49 hours sleeping. Students spend ten hours of every day on their own. Appol Corps leaders give wellinformed information to the freshmen to help them make better decisions about spending their free time. Dibernardi said, "The evaluations this year were very good. Specifically, they cited their Appol Corps leader, the Faculty Exchange ses­ sion, and Michael Broome, who does the opening session." The faculty exchange session is held on Sunday afternoon. This year, 63 faculty members met informally with students to talk about their expectations and fears of the year tocome. Michael B'nomc gave 'he opening address on Saturday afternoon mixing a bit of humor with seriousness to challenge the new ASU students to make the most of their college experience. When asked what motivates Appol Corps lead­ ers to give so much time to orientation for fresh­ men, Dibernardi replied, "Candidly, I believe these students have a good feeling about the institution and want to give back to the college." They also gain leadership training, and skills in group dy­ namics, planning and organizing. One thing is for sure, whatever satisfaction the program gives to the volunteers, it is beneficial to the freshmen, because without them, the program could not continue. Dibernardi added, "The Appol Corps leaders are the heart and soul of the program. They are what makes it a success." FRESHMAN ORIENTATION CASINO NIGHT �The Appalachian. Thursday. August 10. 1990 "MR.

August 30. 1990 Students find needed help in Learning Assistance Program By TERESA SMITH El Cetera Editor ASU offers a program that focuses on needs of high risk students in the college environment. High risk means economically and educationally disad­ vantaged students including disabled, nontraditional, underprepared students, mi­ norities and student athletes. Thisprogram is called the Learning Assistance Program (LAP) and is located in D.D. Dougherty Library in the General College. The philosophy of theLAP is that"given adequate support, services, time, and ap­ propriate teaching strategies, all admitted students cansuccessfully complete college level work and become independent, selfdirected learners." The program stresses the fact that uiyone can come to the service for help; hose who are failing and those who are naking B's but wish to make A's. The „AP also features a program for high ichool students accepted into the Upward )ound program. The program offers several methods of nstruction to aid the general student jopulation. The University Tutorial Ser­ vices uses tutors who are upperclassmen ivho make A's or B's. These students are recommended by professors or depart­ ments and are trained for planning, evaluation and Stills development. Help can be obtained in this service by apoointment or 01 a walk-in basis. Supplemental Instruction entails a "model studen," such as a graduate stu­ dent or upptrclassmen, attending a professor's leture in either history or biology, and then teaching the material again to a grcup of interested students at their convenience. Videotutoring assistance is coverage of an actual eiam review session shown shown two (fays before the exam and then several more times in the next 48 hours. ' "arrungSkills courses teach such skills lOte-taking, test-taking, organization . ,id research methods. Outreach Work­ shops are programs brought to residence halls, organizations and classrooms. Top­ ics on successful college learning tactics are presented t» such groups. The LAP also provides learning assis­ tance to spetial student populations. Learning disalled students, who are ad­ mitted to ASH through special adminis­ tration of tie SAT, become totally mainstreamd in campus life. These stu­ dents may te hearing impaired, visually handicapped, mobility handicapped or otherwise disabled, but are given "spe­ cialized services to meet their individual needs. parents who never attended college or from low-income families. Peer counsel­ ing is also incorporated into this program. Academic Services for student athletes help students active in sports and insists on academic success over athletic suc­ cess. The Upward Boundprogram isdesigned for high school students who come from low-income families and are first-genera­ tion high school students. The program's goal is to help these students graduate from high school and make the transition into college. The students (usually 65-75 from area high schools) participate in weekly tutoring, cultural events, counsel­ ing sessions and campus visits. Services for returning adult students at the LAP works in cooperation with the Adult S tudent N etwork, which introduces adult students to the campus, other adult students and resources on campus. Director Nancy Spann said, "We are here for allkinds of academic support. We want them (students) to be successful and to stay in school."The variouscourses and programs are set up to help any kind of student with any kind of academic prob­ lem or any potential problem. "The ma­ jority of the students feel that the program helps," Spann said.

'LL BE A BUZZ: Catch Captain Cook and the Coconutz, the ,y km; Buffett cover band, at theonly studentnightclub inNorth olina. It's tonight at 8:30 p.m. for $3 at ASU's very own jroli Apptiichitn Photo by Mcolo Quiim Legends which, believe it or not, used to be a grocery store. In addition to Buffett, the Charlotte based band plays classic Eagles, beach music, bluegrass and originals. Freshmen and transfer students who missed the RSA dance may be wondering what Legends is. "It's the largest student night club offering regional and national entertainment on a weekly basis," Legend's manager Randy Kelly said. The university bought a defunct Winn Dixie located next to Hoey residence hall and converted it into a night club called H'APPYS lOyears ago so students would not have to drive to Johnson City or Winston-Salem to go dancing. Just two years ago H'APPYS was remodeled to update its club atmosphere and was eventually renamed Legends. Denny Dent's splatter paint pictures of rock-n- roll legends now decorate the walls and disco lights hang from the ceiling. Appalachian Popular Programming Society (A.P.P.S.) sponsors the diverse programming for theclub, which includes local, regional, and national bands on Thursday nights. Last year the Grammy winning Indigo Girls and the Raleighbased group The Connells played sell out shows. The Smithereens werealso acrowd pleaser with their top-40 hit "A Girl Like You." On one Thursday night a month, a comedy actis showcased. The very bizarre comedianEmo Philips, who has performed on the Johnny Carson, David Letterman, and Arsenio Hall shows, was featured last year. And of course, the Saturday night DJ Dance tradition at Legends continues this year for $1 when you show your student ID. DJ Reg Murphy is back with more dance music plus requests, so plan to spend your Black Saturday evening cel­ ebrating at Legends. In addition to the dances and live en­ tertainment, Legends has a huge retract­ able screen to play music videos and to show the annual Rocky Horror Picture Show. There are also a pool table and video games. Those 21 and older may bring up to 72 ounces of beer or wine with them. Legends is a student-run non-profit organization thatreceives funding through the student activity fund. The student organization A.P.P.S. schedules the pro­ gramming and employs about 15 students each semester to work at Legends. Cam­ pus organizations may rent Legends for special events. Be sure to keep Legends in mind as a part of yourThursday and S aturday nights, and look for upcoming events on your Student Events Calendar. ^SU program faces "Volume" pumps hard; falls flat iinyaking challenge Pirate radio disc jockey speaks out for disaffected teenagers By SALLY KUHL Appalachian Diversions Editor 'o kick the semester off.

About 20 students are employed as in­ structors withOutdoor Programs, andthey are all certified in advanced CPR and first aid. The instructors have an average of five to 10 years experience with com­ mercial outfitters plus training and expe­ rience at ASU. Students, staff, and faculty may par­ ticipate in a variety of weekday and weekend activities sponsored by Outdoor Programs.They include:rafting, kayaking, canoeing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, caving, rock climbing, horseback riding, hiking and camping. For a rea­ sonable fee you may rent such items as sleeping bags, tents, backpacks, stoves, fuel, ponchos, and mountain bikes. Water bottles and first aid kits may be rented free of charge. Since Outdoor Programs is funded through the student activity fund, they are able to offer lower than average rental rates and trip fees. Organizations on campus may want to sign up for the group interaction course which is designed forup to twelve people. The group is led through a series of chal­ lenging activities which require planning and teamwork. The instructor starts the course off with several "icebreakers" to make sure the group knows each other. The course closes with a thought-provok­ ing talk about how the group worked to­ gether and what the strengths and weak­ nesses of the group are. ASU students, staff, and faculty have a unique opportunity for outdoor activities that most schools do not enjoy. Since we live in the Blue Ridge Mountains, we can participate in outdoor activities with a beautiful setting and minimal travel time. The Outdoor Programs office is located on 715 Rivers Street across from the baseball field.

Its storycenters aroundMark Hunter (well-played by Christian Slater), a shy, withdrawn honor student whose family has recently transferred to Arizona. By day Mark sits quietly in math class or blushes with embarrassment in creative writing. Every night at 10 p.m., however, Mark transforms himself into Hard Harry Hard-On, a pirate radio disc jockey who speaks out and for the disaffected teenagers who populate Hubert Humphrey High School (get it? HHH). On the air Mark is exciting, humorous and perverse. There he releases all his tensions and anger—radio show theatrics as therapy. Mark does not want a girlfriend to prove to his parents and his peers that he is OK and well-adjusted. Hedoes not want to go to the mall or drink Slurpies at the Circle K. Mark hates the 60s, he hates school, he hates principals, he hates viceprincipals—in fact, Mark hates just about everything, and though he spits his venom from behind amask of technology, M ark's anger is genuine and believable. Mark, however, cannot comprehend that anyone would actually listen to his show. He believes he is speaking into a suburban void, yet within time the entire school is listening intently to his radio rants and raves. "The truth is a virus," is Mark's philosophy. "Who cares!" his motto. He tells his audience to do what they feel, not what school, family and television tells them to do. Trust no one, not even your­ self. The system (parents, teachers, guid­ ance counselors and school administrators) is corrupt, and Mark screams for his au­ dience to wake up, stop following blindly and take a stand—any stand that represents a real choice. Mark, as played by Slater, is all con­ fusion. He is deluded, demented and de­ ranged. During the first half of this film, Mark does notreally know what he wants. He doesnot even have muchof a message. Moyle's script becomes as schizo­ phrenic as Mark. The second half of this film is lopsided, misguided and irrespon­ sible. Just when you think Moyle is going to exploreteenage rebellion and American complacency with satiric rancor (for that find Jonathan Kaplan's "Over the Edge"), his film turns into a love story. Once Mark finds Nora (an engaging and attractive Samantha Mathis) he be­ comes the happy teenager he so detested 66 The system is corrupt, and Mark screams for his audience to wake up, stop following blindly and take a stand—any stand that represents a real choice. 55 If anything, he professes an anti-message. Mark's real conflictishowtodealwithhis newfound power as the subversive voice of an apathetic generation. Mark wants to be somebody at the ex­ pense of all others(including his audience) until his desires lead to a suicide he might have been able to stop. This is a crucial moment in the film, where Mark's selfish sexual fantasies elicit real world conse­ quences he cannot begin tocontrol. At this point the film could have transcended the average teenage melodrama and pushed the boundaries of thegenre. Unfortunately the story disintegrates, lapsing into con­ fusion and Hollywood predictability. in the first reel. They become the Bonnie and Clyde of the airwaves, but unlike the protagonists in Author Penn's 1967 film, it is very obvious Mark and Nora will survive intact and unscathed. They will complain about the system but they will not die for it. Other problems addressed by the script in the first half are left unanswered or simply disappear. Mark preaches (after the fact) not to commit suicide because heaven is boring and there's nothing to do. But earl ier in the film Mark cleverly stated, "There's nothing to do anymore. Every­ thing worth doing's been done.

Whilelines of dialogue like this are clever and amusing, they carry no weight within the world of this film. By the end Mark is suddenly preaching social responsibility and envi­ ronmental awareness, and everyone is buying it. Outside of newfound love, it is hard to understand where all this change and contradiction originates. The speech at the end (after an obliga­ tory chase scene) is horribly ludicrous. Hollywood's desire for ahappyresolution seems to be influencing Moyle's script and direction. This is sad, because if Moyle is being forced to sell out to the system, how can audiences possibly take his rebellious characters and story seri­ ously? One unsavory aspect of the teenage film is its unfair use of grownups as easy targets. This obviously appeals to teen­ agers, yet it does not begin to focus on the multi-dimensional issues surrounding adolescents and their relationships with adults. It is too easy to present parents and school administrators as little satans out to destroy and crushoriginal expression and creativity. Itis far moredifficult to present adults as people who also feel out of place in society, who are stressed, who are worried about world affairs, and who are concerned about the general quality of life. "Rise up and stab them with your plastic forks, " Mark howls. This is in­ ventive and daring screenwriting? This film has many fine qualities. It looks good, the acting is exemplary, the soundtrack challenging (including Sonic Youth, Pixies, Urban Dance Squad and even Leonard Cohen). It certainly made me think. Unfortunately, the last 50 minutes do not live up to the first, and that truly disappoints. �The Appalachian. Thursday.

It's the J of August and that means it's time for the ijor league pennant races to really start iting up. I thought I'd share with you my [look for the rest of the season. ['11 start in the National League West At the [-Star break, it appeared the Cincinatti Reds I the division all wrapped up, owning a uble-digit lead on the rest of the field. However, Cincinatti has struggled since the :ak, allowing both the Los Angeles Dodgers i the San Francisco Giants to creep back into • . picture. Heading into this past weekend's ty, the Reds had a six-game lead on LA and a ,en-game advantage over the Giants. The Dodgers have gotten back into the race cause of pitching and veteran leadership. 22ar-old Ramon Martinez has 15 victories and a igue leading 183 strikeouts, while Mike organ has tossed four shutouts. Eddie Murray d Kirk Gibson have both rebounded from bpar seasons to provide L.A. with a much eded lift. San Francisco has ridden on the shoulders of ill Clark, Kevin Mitchell and Matt Williams in their bid to catch Cincinatti. The trio has hit over 60 home runs and knocked in more than 230 runs to key the Giants comeback. Despite the west coast challenge, Cincinatti should be able to survive and win the division. The Reds are sound at every position .and may have the best bullpen in baseball in "Nasty oys" Randy Myers and Rob Dibble. The National League East race is a bit tighter, ittsburgh holds a three-game lead on the New ork Mets and a nine-game lead on Montreal. Pittsburgh has led the division for most of the iason. Everyone expected the Bucs to fold ider the pressure of a tight pennant race, but so i it hasn't happened. The Pirates have the best atfield combination (Barry Bonds, Bobby onilla, and Andy Van Slyke) and an excellent itching staff led by Doug Drabek(16-5) and the scently acquired Zane Smith (3-0 with the irates). It's been a tale of two seasons for the New 'ork Mets. The team that was languishing round the .500 mark under Davey Johnson has one 49-31 under new skipper Bud Harrelson to ault back into the race. The Mets are led ffensively by Darryl Strawberry(28 hrs, 80 BI) and sophomore sensation Gregg :fferies(.304 avg.) and have six quality starting itchers. They've been hampered recently by ljuries to shortstop Kevin Elster and outfielders ASU's season offers opportunity By KURT C. WARD Appalachian Sports Editor This year could best be categorized as the"year of opportunity"for the ASU Mountaineer football squad. The team faces one of the most challenging schedules to date, including games with three NCAA Division I-A schools(Clemson, N.C. State and Wake Forest) in addition to playing only four contests at home. If we don't have the toughest schedule among I-AA teams this season, I sure want to know who does," second year Head Coach Jerry Moore said. "The seven Southern Conference games areenough of a challenge, but throw in three I-A schools the caliber of Clemson, N.C. State and Wake Forest, and then our final game of the season is on theroad against one of the best I-AA independents in the country in James Madison, and I think people can see what our players are up against this season. "Obviously, we are looking forward to the challenge and the opportunity of the season," Moore said. "That's the way the coaches and players look at it - as an opportunity. "The players are willing to lay it all on the line," Moore said. "The only problems come because they (Division I-A schools) have 95 scholarships, and we've got 70. That's a 25 man difference before you even snap the ball. Injuries can be a problem." Moore considers his squad of opportunists to be a "strange mixture" this year. "We have a lot of players back, but we are still a young team," he said. "No question we have some big holes to fill, not only in number of positions, but the amount of experience we lost from last season,"Moore said. One of the biggest holes comes in the offensive line, where the Mountaineers lost four of their five starters from a year ago. "All of last year's linemen had played," Moore said. "We knew what to expect from them in the game situations." Moore lacks that comfort this year, as he brings in an offensive line that has never seen Division I play. Seven junior college linemen joined the team in January, hoping to immediately form a solid unit "The junior college linemen are unknowns," Moore said."We haven't seen them in games. But I have been pleased with their work habits. They are really working hard." The second biggest loss, according to Moore, is in the defensive secondary. "We lost all three starters in the defensive backfield, and all three were all-conference players, so that tells you right off what kind of situation that puts us in," Moore said. In the offensive backfield, the Mountaineers return their most successful freshman quarterback since joining the SC, D.J. Campbell. Last season, as a freshman, Campbell led the squad to a 9-3-0 mark, completing 51 percent of hispasses, tossing -ft handed pitching, which for some reason the lets don't hit very well. If the Bucs young layers continue to play well under pressure, 'ittsburgh should win the division.

The duo has smashed 66 >mers and knocked in 169 runs. The A's piinant pitching staff is led by Bob Welch M), Dave Stewart (17-8 2.57 ERA) and ennis Eckeresley (38 saves). The only team who still poses a challenge to *kland is the Chicago White Sox, the surprise of baseball this year.

"This is still a very young group of guys, and they keep improving." In thereceiving department, six lettermen return. Starters should include: Kemal Atkins at split end, Anthony Smith at flanker and Loren Price at tight end. Atkins started 10 games last year and was third on the squad with 17 receptions. Smith also serves as the Apps' kick return man. Another area of strength for the squad is the defensive line, according to Moore. All four starters and a total of seven lettermen return to the line from last season. "...We have quality, experience, and depth among the front four spots, and we also have some young people who could figure in the picture," Moore said. The Mountaineers return two of the top three tacklers in 1989 as they will have the services of three of their four starting linebackers from a year ago. Returning starters are: Dwayne Pelham, the team's tackle leader last year; Johnny Jennings; and Donnie Durham. Pelham and Jennings were both second team all-SC picks in 1989. As with many other vital positions, the kicking duties will be handled by sophomores. Jay Millson, who hit 12-of-16 field goal attempts last year, including 10-of-ll inside 40 yards, returns at placekicker. Harold Alexander carries a 39.4 yard average into his second year as the Mountaineers punter. Both Millson and Alexander earned sec­ ond team all-league honors last season. Moore said this area may be the strongest on the squad this year. Shea Griffin .eith Miller and Mark Carreon. Pittsburgh appears to have the nod in the ead-to-head matchup with New York. Six of ie eight remaining games between the two rams will be played in Pittsburgh's Three Jvers Stadium. Plus, Pittsburgh is loaded with for 1115 yards and 10 touchdowns, while rushing for another 10 and a total of 298 yards. Missing from the backfield, however, are ASU's top two ground gainers in 1989, Richie Melchor and Kevin Hart. This year's backfield should consist of two other sophomore starters, fullback A1 Ellis and tailback J.K. Reaves. Backing up Ellis at fullback will be Jeff Dudan, who moves to the backfield after starting all 12 of last year's games at tight end.

Last season, as a freshman, Campbell led the ASU squad to a 9-3 record, passing for 1,115 yards and 10 touchdowns, while rushing for 298 yards and 10 more scores. This season, Campbell will head a sophomore- laden offensive backfield with J.K. Reaves and A1 Ellis being the projected starters. The trio of sophomores, along with the rest of the ASU team, will open their season this Saturday by hosting conference foe East Tennessee State. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. Veteran squad set to kick off season By SHEA GRIFFIN Assistant Sports Editor The ASU Mountaineer soccer team is gearing up for what should be another successful season, according to Head Coach Art Rex. ASU, coming off last season's 12-8-0 overall record and 4-0-0 Southern Conference mark, is ranked among the toplO teams in the South by the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America (ISAA). The Mountaineers return six all-conference performers from last season, including four members of the first team. Heading up the list of returnees are forward Carlos Lee, the SC Player of the Year; forward Scott Griffith; midfielder Andy Salandy; back Jeremy Mittag; and goalkeeper Earl Morgan. "Lee and Griffith add a lot of punch to our attack," Rex said."With Andy Salandy, they could match any frontline in the region." Rex, the Southern Conference Coach of the Year last season, says that the Mountaineers are a Moore admits this is still a young squad, but he is confident in their abilities andplqasc^l:fyith their attitude. Moore described that attitude aS "un­ real," saying, "The way they've worked is almost scary. It is just a pleasure to watch these guys work. There hasn't been one complaint out of them."

McGee looksto improve on that record this year, as most of her members now have at least one season under their belts. The team's one personnel loss, however, came at the vital position of setter. McGee compared this loss to a football team losing its starting quarterback. However, sophomore Joanne Myers is more than up to the task of filling the setter's role, according to McGee. "Joanne is a very smart player, with a lot of knowledge of the game," said McGee."She is also a perfectionist and...a leader on the court." See YOUNG page 15 Rex also expects Marshall and VirginiaMilitary to provide a challenge this season. "Marshall should be an up-and-coming team," Rex said."It's always tough to play up at Marshall.

Rex said there also will be a lot of new talent on the Mountaineer squad this season. "We only graduated three seniors, and we're replacing them with three very fine freshmen," Rex said. "The addition of Mark McGuinn, a transfer from Lenoir-Rhyne, will help tremen­ dously." ASU will again face a difficult non-conference schedule. The Mountaineers will meet nationally ranked Wake Forest and South Carolina on the road before the conference play begins. "These programs are strong year in and year out," Rex said. "Our games with them last year "When other teams attack, we'll defend with four men and look for a counter-attack,"Rex said. "That will leave the backside open, but I have confidence in our guys to come up with the ball. Hopefully, this will open up more scoring opportunities." Rex believes this year's squad can be just as successful as last year's championship team. "Last year, our guys worked really hard and stayed away from injuries, and we came out on top," Rex said. "As seasoned veterans, they know what to do; it's just a matter of doing it." The Mountaineers kick off the season on Sat­ urday, Sept. 1, at Mars Hill. They then travel to Wake Forest on Sept. 5, and South Carolina on Sept. 9. The first home match is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 19, at 7 p.m. against UNCAsheville in Kidd Brewer Stadium.

The Paladins of Furman remain atop the pre season polls, and look to continue their successful ways of the last 10 years. Furman simply dominated the 80s, finish­ ing out the decade with a 95-25-4 mark, one national title and seven conference championships. "I doubt any program in thecountry can claim the success that Furman has had in athletics and academics," Paladin Head Coach Jimmy Satterfield said as fall drills began.

"We really have to be focused on this game," Mountaineer Head Coach Jerry Moore said. "Not only is this the season opener, and our home opener, but it's also our conference opener. We need to re­ mind ourselves of that fact and get off to a good start in conference play." Buccaneer Head Coach Don Riley looks at the game as one of his team's greatest challenges. "Appalachian State is an out­ standing football team with a great tradi­ tion," Riley said. "An opener such as this is a tremendous challenge for our team. We will have to be at our very best in Boone."

Call 1-800-932-0528 Ext. 50 Southern Conference with a 4-3 league record (4-7 overall). The Bucsreturn 38 lettermen including 13 starters from that third place squad. The placement of third was ETSU'shighest finish in the conference since 1981. Of the 11 starters lost from last year, perhaps the most noticed absence is AllAmerican tailback George Searcy.Searcy was the league's Player of the Year in 1989, gaining 1,324 yards on the ground, catching 38 passes for 343 yards andscor­ ing 18 touchdowns in his final season. Despite his departure, the Bucs plan to start seniors at both the tailback and full­ back positions this fall. The depth in some areas, including the defensive line and secondary, may pose a problem for the Bucs. Compounding the depth problem, several veterans were sidelined during spring drills due to inju­ ries. The quarterback position appears solid, with starter Randy Meredith returning. Meredith, a 6'-0", 200-pound junior, com­ pleted 149 of 237 passes (62.9 percent) last season to make him the most accurate passer in league history. En route to the mark, Meredith passed for 1,716 yards and eight touchdowns in 1989. The receiving corps of ETSU haveboth experience and depth. KipBembry, David Rockhold and Kevin Phipps all saw action last year at the wide out position, while Stephen Girard and Kwaya Graham both return to the flanker's role. Tight end Jack Teachey is the top returning receiver, hauling in 28 catches for 355 yards. The passing gameof ETSUcould prove to be a major factor in this week's game with ASU, as the Bucs will be gunning against anunpro ven Mountaineer second­ ary. The ASU defensive backfield lost all three of its starters from a year ago. Riley is optimistic about ETSU's chances this year. "I'm looking forward to the season...We have some good kids with some good aspirations, and we're looking for a successful season," Riley said. Kick off for this Saturday's contest is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. conference tailback James Roberts, who rushed for over 1,000 yards as a freshman last year. At quarterback, the Mocs are relying on freshman Kenyon Earl, a 6'0", 180-pound, all-state QB from Columbia, S.C. The Moc's defense, which ranked 18th nationally last year, returns nine starters and should again be the team's trademark as the entire defensive front and backfield return intact. With Furman, ASU and UTC battling it out for the top spot in the league, look for Marshall, with new Head Coach Jim Donnan, and The Citadel to be attempting to move back into the upper division.

His ability to landle and control the younger pitchers jn the Red Sox staff is one of the main -easons Boston has managed to stay out liront. Toronto has one of the most power­ ful, yet! inconsistent, lineups in the eague. George Bell, Kelly Gruber and -red McGriff each rank in the top 10 in lome runs and RBI's. But each has iuffered through a prolonged slump at iome point in the season. The Jays have I steady pitching staff, led by veteran )ave Stieb (16-4) and relief ace Tom Terminator" Henke. I believe that Toronto will eventually jvertake Boston and win the AL East. Fororito's lineup has more punch, and he Jays have a deeper overall pitching taff. That sets up a showdown between Oakland and Toronto for the American League Championship. These two teams also met for the tide last year, with Oakland emerging as the victor. That «hoi)ld happen again this year. Oakland is the class of the American League and should win its third straight pennant. The, National League Championship Series should feature Cincinatti against "ittsburgh. These two teams last met in oost-season play in 1979, when Willie Stargell led the Pirates to a sweep of the Reds and an eventual World Champion­ ship. However, Cincinatti should r.iumphthis time around. The Reds will ubound from their current slump to •feat the Bucs and advance to meet Oakland in the World Series. I don't know if these predictions will actually come true or not. I do know that the pennant races promise to be as rxcjiting as always. So if you are a baseball fan like me, sit back and enjoy the next month and a half. It's going to be fun. Editor's Note: Shea Griffin is a junioi broadcasting major from Mocksville, IV.ff. He is currently serving asAssistan Sports Editor of "The Appalachian." All of the girls have their goals set pretty high," McGee said. "They have sed on those goals, which range from earning a position (on the team) to playing Olympics. This makes for a healthy spread." It has also added a sense of competition jtmong the girls, McGee commented. McGee sees this year's 32-match sched­ ule as "challenging." This is the first year we will play three ACC teams (Clemson, Duke and Georgia Tech), McGee said."And the conference is getting stronger as a whole every year." According to McGee, the conference should have a three-way battle for the championship with ASU right in the thick of the fight along with East Tennessee State and Western Carolina. "East Ten­ nessee State and Western are always com­ petitors, and they are again this year,"said McGee. "I am anxious to play them. I know we have the ability to win a match against them on a good night. But they never take us lightly. The conference will be decided between one of those three (ETSU, WCU and ASU)." The Lady Mountaineers begin seasonal play this Saturday, Sept. l.againstLenoirRhyne. "Last year, they (Lenior-Rhyne) had a new coach, a former East Tennessee State player," said McGee. "They are stronger this year than last. We will not take them lighdy by any means." The match is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym. Thursday, September 6 at 6:00 p.m. in Room 403 Sanford.

Safety is priority < On September 4 at 7:00 p.m., the Boone community and the students, faculty and staff of ASU will gather to remember those who have been ; sexually assaulted or raped. Everyone on campus and in the community ; should support this walk to educate themselves on sexual assault and ; remember those who have suffered an attack. Last year three cases of sexual assault touched the university community. ; Appalachian lost Jeni Gray, one of its valued staff members, to such an attack. ; Most think that Boone is a safe community, yet tragically it is not. Compla­ cency can be dangerous. • This awareness walk will remind citizens to remain concerned about their ; safety and security and to remember those such as Jeni. The silent march will begin at the Administration building on campus and will end at the Lois Senior Center in Boone. This walk indicates that the students of ASU and the Boone community are •becoming increasingly aware of campus/community safety. Students need to really listen to the facts and figures that are cranked out everyday concern­ ing assault. Siudents, faculty and staff should use services such as Mountaineer escort, the blue security phones on campus, the Appalcart, and the "buddy system at all times. Call someone to meet you and always use well lighted paths. Make yourself stop and think before you walk across campus alone at night. If students take the time to learn how to prevent sexual assault, then the statistics will drop and sexual assault will become a thing of the past It's wonderful to see that the community and ASU are concerned about personal safety and welfare; using the Awareness walk as a tool to educate the community and campus starts the year off on the right note.

We, all Americans, have a responsibility to con­ sider all and any repercussions of our present administration's actions. In Viet­ nam we called it a conflict; in the Middle East, we've dubbed it the Persian Gulf Crisis. President John F. Kennedy began our • involvement with Vietnam in 1961 by sending military advisors into the Asian jungles. Three years later our action in­ creased dramatically with the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Troop commitment peaked in April of 1969 at 543,400 Americans, average age 19, fighting a war in a distant land. In April of 1975 President Ford evacu­ ated Americans from Saigon and South Vietnam; we've all seen the newsfootage.

Many of the effects will not be felt until later in the semester because many departments, both academic and those for student organizations like "The Appala­ chian," did not receive their budgets until mid-August. However, when you start to feel the crunch, think about the $2.5 million that is going into the SAC. That would definitely buy a lot of supplies and pay many instructors. Many say I am fighting a battle that I am sure to lose, but I intend to march on regardless of these warnings. The administration tried to please people like me by saving 15 acres of land in the area above the stadium. In doing so, they have only fueled my fire by making several ludicrous decisions. Back in the planning stages of the SAC, different areas were looked at, and the one above the stadium was chosen because it was believed that students would attend events that were not far from "home."

The professor didn't take attendance and just talked on and on about nothing much in particular. Itw as nearly 30 minutes before ( knew I was in the wrong place. I did wonder why everybody had the same textbook with them. Nevertheless, there are ways to start off on the right foot for a new semester. The first, and possibly the hardest, is to figure out what the professor expects out of you to do well in his/her class. "Doing well" is a relative term, so you have to be sure and define it for yourself. Somehow knowing what you need to do in a class does wonderful things for your grade. But then, for some professors, Appalachian Columnist Are youready tostart hitting the books? It's hard to believe another semester is ^on us. I'm sure you've either said that a ;w times or heard others make a similar miinent over the last weeks. If not, I'm ffe you've seen some old friends and iked a question like, "How was your mrmer?" Everyone is gradually settling Kk into the new semester. What does the start of a new half-year • school hold for you? Well, it brings any opportunities for a kind of new ^ginning. You no longer have to worry jout this past summer's job problems or ,erl the fast approach of final exams last imester. Yes-s-sir, each of us has a clean ate to work on. You might say that we tut out with all A's in our classes and the ck is to keep up with the work to mainan it (that sounds a lot better than saying ju begin with F's and have to work Still). Seriously though, if you're honest with Wself, the best way to do well in your asses is to not wait until after doing \isy on the first test before you begin to 'ady. But, then, that's all too tempting to !(in many of your classes in college, aking the easy way, after all, is the easiest ling to do. Right? J've been there many times. This se­ tter, however, is different. I've not ally taking any classes. I'm doing my .emship for my master's degree. 5 You know what an internship is, don't "u?

There's nothing like the start a new semester. I've experience quite a v of them, too. The funniest experience I ever had hapiied the first week of my freshman year. ' course, it wasn't funny at the time, me people only have nightmares and IT having such experiences. You've >bably guessed what it is—the worst ng that could happen to a first year dent.

I was pretty fident Where the building was—right act to the library. After all, I passed it on E.e. way to the cafeteria. Needless to say, jere was a class that happened to meet in th 1 i R E S E R V E I I I I I I I I I I it's actually harder to find out what they want than to actually do it. Some other professors, though, require something very odd in order for you to understand their requirements. They actually believe you want to come to class. That's hard to believe. I think there's a special word for that concept: attendance. Even more amazingly, others actually expect you to read the textbooks. School would be boring if all you did was study. Besides, there are many other things to do with your books than tosnuggle up to them; they do double as great and inexpensive weights for exercising. I'm sure you've though of other creative uses for them, too. Cut out the Confusion about Weight Loss. Venturing out, making new friends and getting involved with some of the various campus groups/activities is another im­ portant thing to do as a new semester begins. Most have no problem with that, but few really do anything with an orga­ nization to make a positive difference. I look back now and regret not being more active than I was. So, if you were inclined to be crazy enough to listen to an old fool like me, find sometime to get away from all the dis­ tractions that life can bring.

It seems to me that we should all have the right to participate in decisions that will affect this universitiy 10 to 20 years from now. Voices must be heard and stands must be made to show the administration that they can not be the final voice on every single decision made here at ASU. I will use the SAC as an example because I feel that it is an area in which many students have not had all their auestion$ answered. The Faculty Senate has already opposed the structure. Last year's Student Government Association approved the building of the SAC, but what about this year's SGA. Do they represent the same views? Has anyone surveyed the student body as a whole, oi is it none of our business? Earlier I mentioned the budget cuts, and I promise you will feel them eventually. When you do start feeling the effects and simultanously notice the earth disappearing from behind the stadium, I hope your blood will boil and you will let your peers and our, note the word OUR, administration know just how you feel.

She added Appalachian Staff Writer that through group activities she hoped to build a good friendship among yearbook staffers. Student PublicationsCoordinator Mary Ann Sabo said that both Beasley and Minton came to their positions with out­ Rae Beasley Tony Peters standing qualifications. Of Beasley, Sabo said the rising editor-in-chief isdedicated, organized, exemplifies leadership skills and has "a nose for news." Sabo said, "I think (Beasley) is going to do a wonderful job as editor-in-chief next year." Elaine Minton Barbara Daye Sabo also said that Minton is creative, has good ideas and has a "wonderful eye for design."She said that since next year's yearbook staff will focus on staff unity, "Elaine is the right person to lead that group." Peters said he feels that he has a lot to offer WASU. He said that being involved in various departments at the station has helped him. He added that his work as program director was one of the high­ lights of his WASU career. "After all," he said "(programming) is the heart and soul of the station." Peters said he will be holding weekly staff meetings and teaching a disc jockey class along with overseeing the station. He plans to increase public awareness of WASU not only in Boone and on campus communities, but also across North Caro­ lina. Broadcasting Director Carl Tyrie feels that Peters will do a fine job of heading up nextyear's WASU staff and station opera­ tions. Beasley, Minton and Peters were se­ lected to fill their respective positions following a series of interviews conducted by the Media Board. According to Tyrie, the media board ismade upof 13 individu­ als—seven students and six faculty/staff members. Tyrie said the board interviews the applicants for the positions and votes on the applicant. He said if the applicant receives seven votes, that person is then recommended to Acting Vice Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye, who is responsible for making the final selection. Creativity Room closing raises student protests By ERIC D. MILLER Managing Editor In response to the recent decision to close the Creativity Room located in Smith-Wright Hall, a small group of stu­ dents has organized a campaign to keep the room open. Paul Penttila, a member of the proCreativity Room group, said his organization's goal is simple. "Our job is to save the Creativity Room," he said. According to Psychology Department Chairperson Verne Bacharach, whose department houses the Creativity Room, the room is being closed for three reasons. "First of all, there is no creativity class. Also, we need the space. And finally, the room doesn't meet the university's safety standards," he said. Appalachian Photo by Nicole Quinn Creativity Room A memo sent to Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ned Trivette from Safety Officer Evan Rowe, dated Oct. 31, 1989, stated that the Creativity Room was in violation of five areas of the North Carolina State Building Code. The violalions included excess use of light, flam­ mable products, blocked room exits, improper placement of room materials. keeping of gerbils (a violation of the uni­ versity pet policy), and the excessive use of painted decorations of ceilings and walls. Bacharach confirmed that live gerbils were being kept in the room."I visited the room one very warm day; the temperature in the room must have been 95 degrees. The animals wereclearly suffering....They were definitely in danger," he said. However, in a memo to B acharach from Rowe dated Jan. 12, 1990, Rowe stated: "After a recent inspection of Room 300 (Creativity Room)...it would appear the classroom area has been altered to provide a greater degree of safety to future occu­ pants. Please extend a personal 'pat on the back' to all the responsible parties....I would approve the use of Room 300 as a classroom area...." Bacharach said there are "still prob­ lems" with the room, and maintains that it is still not entirely safe. Penttila said the psychology department's classroom space problems will not be aided by the scrapping of the creativity program. "Room 300 isn't even mentioned on allocation times for the fall fr The Year in Review lor' s nole - the following are excerpts s top news stories.The dates //ze issue in which the story was 1 eyear _ Hed. iulhursday* AuSusl31. 1989 Security director says...Parking is roarginally' dangerous" fording to ASU Director of Public jv and Security RoyTugman, parking Stadium Lot may be dangerous. , referred to the parking situation o' (designated by security as "A" ^ marginally" dangerous. ,8nian said there were an "unusually ^umber of vehicles on campus at J dtis point We have some lots that are -a C Sa'd- "Normally, there is some ^ignment of spaces...

Penttila also said his group has tried to approach the department directly. "We wanted to talk to Bacharach...to go to a psychology faculty meeting....Bacharach said, 'Faculty meetings are closed.' Other faculty meetings are open; why shouldn't his be?" he said. Bacharach contends the students have been going about dealing with the prob­ lem in an incorrect manner. "Faculty meetings never had been open. A faculty member could, however, invite them in. I would, in fact, support any faculty mem­ ber who did invite them in," he said. Bacharach added that he feels the room should be housed elsewhere within the university. "Perhaps Student Gov­ ernment...or student union officials could find an appropriate place to put the room," he said. Penttila said his group is optimistic about the room's future."We're willing to compromise....We have lots of sugges­ tions to make the room more viable...but there has to be cooperation from the administration to make that happen," he said. — EXAM SCHEDULE Time 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. Time 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. Time 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m Time 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 pjn. 4.00 p.m. 7:00 p.m. Time 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 1:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. 7:00 p.m • Friday, May 11 Classes MWF 11:00 a.m. MWF 4:00 p.m. TR 2:00 p.m. History 1102 M 5:00 p.m. Saturday, May 12 Classes MWF 12:00 TR 8:00 pjn.

Mom got |e picture years ago, and she and her friends Bok a trip to the beach—on dad. The next year iegot her a gift. Mom can be pretty swift at imes. lam really lucky. My mother is pretty cool, lon't get me wrong, Mom and I have had our share of fights, but we always seem to work them out. I remember when I came to college for the first time-I thought my mom had lost her mind years ago, and basically I went along with her to humor her and so I wouldn't get in trouble. However, when I got to college, I realized there actually was a son why my mother acted the way she had all »e years. It was scary, let me tell you. So I :ided to call my mother, and tell her that she ually had had common sense all those years, pmother thought I was funny. Yet, that is one f those daughter-mother memories that you Mdon to. That was the first time I realized that 1 mother had become my friend. Doctors Frank Randall and Kent Robinson, both biology professors, agree that retirement for them does not mean slowing down. On the contrary, it will be a time for them to concentrate on other areas of interest. Both men retire at the end of the fiscal year, leaving behind the biology department, which they, with other retired members, developed to what it is today. Randall, who is from a large family, was raised in Madison County: "I had eight brothers and sisters, and we were all very interested in music. Everyone played an instrument and danced. I played the guitar." He became interested in biology because of his father. He said: "My father would teach me about the trees, and I guess it's from him that I got my love of the natural world. My mother was a school teacher for one year, and then she had all of us." Randall, with a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina, strongly supports a liberal arts education. "I believe, you see, that if you have a broad education it makes you a better teacher. I am a broad-minded person and recognize the individu­ ality of students. I don't try to change them to be something else." Randall is the president of the Grandfather Mountain chapter of the Audubon Society, as well as being one of 17 state advisors of the Non-game Advisory Committee to the North Carolina Wild­ life Commission. Also, he participates in and has a membership with the Sierra Club. Fellow biology professor Dr. Marie Hicks said, "He has students all over the country now, and I always have people or his previous students ask me about him at biological meetings." "The thing I'll remember most about ASU is my students," Randall said. "When I was president of the Faculty Senate I said, and still say, that the students are first priority, faculty comes second, administration third, and support facilities behind all of these. Without the students, ASU is noth­ ing." Dr. Kent Robinson started at ASU on a parttime basis in 1953, and by 1956 became a full-time professor. "The young professors can't believe the teaching load we used tocarry," Robinson said. "I was teaching three big classes with over 100 students in each one. ASU had only 3,000students at the time, and I was teaching a tenth of them." As with every facetof his life, Robinson said he is a "doer," not an observer. "When people ask me to go watch a game or something I say 'No thanks,' because I would rather be out there playing than sitting and watching." Even with retirement, this man has little timefor silting because he is serving for the second time on the state's Park Commission and was part of the Boone Appearance Commission responsible for landscaping in Boone. These two men are greatly respected and ad­ mired by many people, faculty and students alike. "When I'm off campus and talk to alumni, it is always of Randall and Robinson they ask and talk about," Dr. Jeffrey Butts, chair of the biology department, said. "They have had a big impact of the department and are treated with real respect." Dr. Kenneth Shull, a fellow biology professor, said, "Without Randall and Robinson, we wouldn't be here. They have both introduced a lot of the courses offered here in the biology department. We are going to miss them." ********** Today the communication arts department has 742 students pursuing that major. Last year, there were 207 graduates. In 1968, they only had a total of 17 graduates. Dr. Charles E. Porterfield, professor and chair­ person of the department of communication arts for the past20 years, is greatly responsible for the jump in statistics. At the end of this fiscal year he will be stepping down from the chair position in order to get back to teaching students full time. After graduating from Louisiana University in 1965 with a Ph.D. in Rhetoric and Public Address, he found his way to ASU. In 1970 he became the chairperson of the CMA department. Professor of Communication Arts Dr. Terry W. Cole said, "Dr. Porterfield has served as the sec­ ond longest tenured chair in the university. I can't envision a better person to work for." Through the years Porterfield has seen the birth and development of the communication arts de­ partment. In 1972, WASU went''on the air," and in the years to follow such things were added as a degree in communications media, and concentrations in broadcasting, public relations and media advertis­ ing, "which is the largest degree program on the campus,' Porterfield said. The theater arts pro­ gram was also separated into its own department. He also said the most rewarding thing in his life was to see the birth and growth of his children. He added that it's very rewarding to see minds develop and watch graduates become successful. "You feel, in a sense, as if they've become your children. It's a bittersweetsituation because you're glad they've reached their goal, but you're also sorry to see them leave. "It's also an achievement to be serving the number of majors that we do with the budget faculty that we have. Most departments our size, with 742 majors, would have a third more faculty than we have," Porterfield commented. i dad we ought to have a yearly for children.

Jane Robinson, secretary to Porterfield, said one of Porterfield's strongest attributes is "his caring for the students and being available foi them." Dr. Porterfield has given 22 years of his life to the students of the communication department. He has built the department through hard work and dedication to his belief in education. He said, "I believe ASU has been a good place for students to come and learn. My position as chair is more of an advisory one which helps students with career alternatives." He has received theInterfratemity Council award for outstanding faculty advisor to the Kappa Alpha fraternity for the last three years. "I'm very proud of them. They're like the sons that I never had, and hold the highest GPA of any fraternity on campus." "I'm also faculty advisor to Alpha Chi honor society, and I enjoy participating and traveling with these students to their various events." "As a teacher you see minds develop. It's this very rewarding aspect that I want to get back to." Don 7 take it off too quick By LAURA O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer What's really funny about my mother is that Ware two of her.

Then they can devote out of the year every year to appreciate "I would like to see our department receive the allocation of resources that it deserves," he said. According to Porterfield, the communication department is a very big supporter of the "handson institute," where students actually get to work in their chosen cultural activities. Not only has Porterfield given the CMA department its variety of courses, but he also give students advice. He gave rising communication majors these words of advice. "You've got to work hard to become a good communicator, but with good oral and written communication skills, you'll be ahead of most people. I think if you love people, you should consider teaching. That's part of the reason I'm stepping down from the chair so that I can go back and teach the students."

Little things mean a lot in job hunt By RON KEEVER Appalachian Staff Writer During this semester, I've learned that little things can go a long way. I am the public relations intern for the Office of Career Planning and Employment here at ASU. When I first saw the small poster advertising the position, I thought, it's worth a shot. I had an interview, and the next day I was offered the posi­ tion. At first, I thought I would be putting up posters and making phone calls. Much to my surprise, the little poster1 saw had turned into a big opportunity. Every little thing I did developed into some­ thing big. Advertising work turned into writing feature articles, which gave me writing experience as well as recognition. Producing announcements about upcoming office events turned into produc­ ing radio commercials and public service an­ nouncements. I met important ASU alumni through telephone calls and interviews. I met professors whom I would not have otherwise met. Some of the people with whom I work are now references. Everything I did was a learning experience, as well as an opportunity. I've realized through my in­ ternship that I have learned a great deal in my three years at ASU. My abilities came alive as I dili­ gently worked on projects. Internships are more than work experience; they are also learning processes. Some majors require them, not for the experience, but for aca­ demic credit. This enables students to learn the current trends in their careers. Internships are valuable in other ways. They give you practice with interviews contacts for the future. An internship can help you in your academic work as well. Things you learn can give you the edge on your classmates. Students who aren't required to have internships should search for them. In many instances, your competition may get the job because they have that extraedge. Take a chance, and see what's available. Don't get pushed out of the race for a career. Interns are often asked to return to their intern­ ship sites after graduation. Most people would probably return withnoproblem. Those who look for work elsewhere will have portfolios busting at the seams when they begin the job hunt. People realize how much the little things can add up. I have gained valuable experience, which will make me a competitive graduate. What it boils down to is watching, listening and following your instincts. I saw a small poster, listened for other experience ideas, and followed through on what I saw. I'll admit I'm no expert on career counseling, but I do have some advice that might be helpful. 1. Leave no stone unturned. 2. Who you know is important, but it's proving what you know to those you know that really means something. 3. Anything you learn is valuable. 4. Everyone you meet through internships, clubs, etc., is a possible contact. 5. Approach challenges as opportunities to further your experience and knowledge. It'snot just internships that are important. Clubs and organizations offer endless opportunities. Don't just pay a membership fee and put the club on your resume. Employers want to see what you did for the club. Take some initiative, and run for an office. You can even do something for a com­ mittee in the club or organization. Accomplish­ ments are much more impressive than just a name of a club or organization. These are supposed to be the best years of our lives. Take the opportunity to make these years even belter. Join clubs and organizations and pursue internships and career related work. If you have a job and are too busy for clubs, ask your employer if you can help in some way that will relate to your future goals. Be sure to make you experience more that just experience. Make sure everything is an accomplishment. Graduation beach trips and vacations are moti­ vating many students to fight the losing battle with their weight. They are looking for ways to get the weight off fast. Right now, one of most popular methods is liquid diets. Liquid diets come in two forms: medically supervised and over-the-counter. Medically su­ pervised programs are for those who are 20 to 30 percent over their ideal weight. The biggest pro­ grams are Optifast, Medifast, and Health Manage­ ment Resources (HMR). In these programs, di­ eters consume between 420 to 800 calories a day for 12 weeks or longer and lose three to 10 pounds a week. Supervision is maintained weekly with checks on blood pressure, heart function and urine and blood analyses. These programs cost around 53,000. Most college students do not have the money it takes to complete a medically supervised pro­ gram, so they try the over-the-counter products. Slim-Fast and Ultra Slim-Fast make up 80 percent of this market. According to the directions, the user is supposed to drink a shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch, a shake for a snack and then eat a low-calorie dinner. Together, these add up to about 1,200 calories a day. For most people, this results in a loss of one or two pounds a week. Many dieters do not follow the directions for over-the-counter products. Often, the crash dieters just drinks the shakes, thinking that the lower calories will lead to quicker weight loss. People often buy Ultra Slim-Fast because they think the "Ultra" means ultra-fast. The Ultra Slim-Fast formula has more fiber and tastes better, but is not designed to take the weight off any quicker than regular Slim-Fast Another problem with liquid diets is that theydo not prepare one for the real food to be eaten after the weight is lost. Often dieters go right back to the poor eating habits they had before they went on the diet. As a result, they gain back the lost weight. Then they usually diet again. This causes another problem, known as"the yo­ yo syndrome."The yo-yo syndrome describes the cycle of losing weight, then gaining weight, then losing weight, then gaining weight that dieters many experience in their lifetime. According to the Center for Nutrition and Medicine at New England Doaconess Hospital: "patients who lose weight rapidly are three times more likely to regain it than those who take pounds off more slowly." Very low-calorie diets put the body in a starvation mode, causing it to slow down its regu­ lar processes to conserve energy. The yo-yo syn­ drome makes the body stay in that semi-starvation state all of the time, making it even harder to lose weight. Very low-calorie dieting can also result in seri­ ous health problems. The American Dietetic Association reports that the body protein and po­ tassium loss from a very low-calorie diets is possibly related to heart failure. It also causes one to feel tired, and light-headed, and can lead to diarrhea and an irregular menstrual cycle. �The Appalachian ( ' Can t Believe It's A \ YOGURT!)

The appalling factor is that one half of these experi­ ments were conducted for testing for cosmetics, house­ hold products, pesticides, herbicides and food additives. We are using animals for our convenience when positive alternatives clearly exist. For example, we can replace animals in research through computer models of bodily function, physical models or films for teaching purposes, tissue cultures, organ culture, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Factory farming is another mode in which we treat animals as tools and objects. Animals are kept in stalls, and they are never allowed to walk or see the sun. In addition to not being allowed to walk (so that muscles don't develop to make the meat tougher) or allowed sunlight (so that Vitamin A is not produced), the baby calves—soon to be veal—are fed no solid food. This keeps the flesh anemic, so it has the pretty pale color that "gourmet" restaurants love. After about 15 weeks of life on this diet, diarrhea results. The infants are transported for slaughter and usually have to be carried because they have no muscles with which to walk. The main cause of destruction of the world's rain forests is the clearing of land for cattle ranching. Cattle are raised on this land until it is completely devoid of life. Since rainforests do not recover like grasslands, they are permanently destroyed. According to John Robbins, author of "Diet for a New America," "since 1960, more than one-fourth of South American rain forests have been Appalachian Columnists Advertising Prod.

The animal rights movement has come a long way and is still moving forward. We are beginning to see and feel a connectedness with the Earth and all of her inhabitants. Our society has changed its views on a lot of issues and the differences between our species are beginning to lessen as well. Our society used to see people who are black as inferior and used them as resources, thus existed racism. Our society used to view women as inferior and used them to bring up babies, thus existed sexism. Now we use animals, as some have for centuries, as tools for our research, diet and amusement, thus creating speciesism. Finally, as Peter Singer states 'The animal rights movement is part of,not antagonistic to, the human rights movement..." According to Peter Singer, author of "In Defense of Animals," it is estimated that between 100 million and 200 million animals die in laboratories around the world each year." These animals include apes, monkeys, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, mice, rats and fish. "Experiments involving thedeliberate inductionof psychological stress numbered 43,529; 144,322 involved exposure to ioniz­ ing irradiation; 86,179 involved interference with the brain or other parts of the central nervous system..." And the list goes on and on. killed. We lose 1,000 species of life due to this destruc­ tion year." The ultimate sacrifice will be the global wanning the Earth will encounter when the rain forests cannot pro­ duce enough oxygen to support the human species. In addition to destroying the environment, manipulating animals destroys humans. According to Robbins, "In America alone, livestock consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed five times the world population." Yet 40,000 children starve to death on this planet every day. According to Robbins, "sixty million people will die of starvation this year. The number of people who could be fed by the grain saved if Americans reduced their intake of meat by 10 percent is 60 million." This is a matter which demands consideration. To analyze beliefs is healthy and human. Do people eat meat and dairy products because they are good for health reasons or because people have been told they are healthy? Are animals really tortured horribly and treated inhu­ manely, or did we grow up believing that "McDonald's hamburgers grow in hamburger patches and like to be eaten!" because Ronald McDonald told us so. It is a time in which we are realizing that non-humans cannot organize and protest against the treatment they receive. Thus, the animal rights movement moves for­ ward as humans (higher evolved forms of animals) con­ tinue to examine our beliefs and practices. Professor, grad student don't ignore letter Accused responds to student allegations Dear Mr. Clegg: Good day. My name is Carl Hearn. I am the graduate student who, in your words, "goofed." I would first like to congratulate you on your utterly unsubstantiated editorial splash of the past week—you certainly made a name for yourself in more ways than you may have initially anticipated. I would secondly like to take this opportunity and personally respond to a couple of your vindictive assertions. The fact of the matter, sir, is that I did contest your version of the events leading to this conflict. Dr. Strickland approached me regarding your claim the same day that you confronted her concerning this matter. I refuted your assertions and was then told that you had indicated a desire and subsequent intent to contact Dr. Joel Thompson regarding a further appeal. As I understand it, you did in fact contact Dr. Thompson. Being the professional that he is, he indicated that he would investigate the matter. He did. As a matter of fact, sir, Dr. Thompson scheduled a conference with Dr. Strickland and myself. This conference occurred less than a week following your initial complaint. Here again, I refuted your claim. Unfortunately, you make no mention of these challenges to your assertions in your letter to the editor. Instead, sir, you chose to enhance the grounds of your already suspect claim by distorting the truth. You indicated that I had not contested your version of the events. This is unequivically(sic) unfounded and false. Please Mr. Clegg, for your future wellbeing—particularly on a professional level—do not distort the facts or choose to ignore the actual occurrences of events surrounding yourself—it could prove to be quite costly and humiliating. In addition, sir, please do not take needless pot-shots at those undeserving. Namely, Mr. Clegg, Dr. Thompson has no obligation whatsoever to pursue your own agrumcnts. He is not responsible for carrying on your complaints. Instead, sir, it is your obligation to continue the battle. If in fact this is or was such a serious matter, why didn't you re-approach the individuals involved? Is it that you realized the futility and unfounded assertions of your efforts and chose to make the loudest and most obnoxious—yet untrue splash possible in a very inadequate medium—that of 'The Appalachian?" In my analysis I believe this to be the case. And finally, Mr. Clegg, I must ask the questions that have continued to amuse me since this unfortunate incident began to unfold nearly a month ago. If in fact 1 bellowed the answers out to the very Mickey Mouse quiz that you were taking or handing in - what kind of commentary is it on your ability to record the correct answers when it is revealed that you sir, failed the quiz? Also, why couldn't you and I have been spared this whole ordeal by virtue of you approaching me first? I am a very fair person, Mr. Clegg, and would have gladly made every effort possible to amend any misunderstanding you may have had regarding my quiz administra­ tion procedure. Upon retrospect I am prone to believe that you are a frustrated student motivated to look for and react to any potential loophole or mistake that may provide you academic and social gratification. Rather than address a perceived problem on your half, you had rather cause a spectacle and attempt to embarrass those individuals that you hold responsible for your own short­ comings. Before one may adjudicate the ethics of others, as you have in this case, he/she must first evaluate their own. Thank you for showing me the types of individuals and situations I will surely encounter in future endeavors. Good luck in your future academic and professional pursuits—you'll undoubt­ edly need it considering the attitude you possess. Sincerely Carl Hearn, Graduate Research Assistant to Dr Ruth Ann Strickland Assistant acted in appropriate way To the Editor: I would like to respond to a letter to die editor entitled, "Grad goof ignored by professors," authored by Dave Clegg. My response is as follows: During diis semester, I have given my judicial process class a number of reading assignment quizzes. One day my research assistant, a very competent graduate student, administered one of these quizzes for me because I was attending a professional, out-of-town conference. Mr. Dave Clegg claims that some students in this class cheated on die quiz and that my graduate assistant assisted them by calling out the answers to die quiz in class. When Mr. Clegg first approached me and gave his account of the events in question, I stated that I would look into the matter. I talked with my graduate assistant about this incident, and he stated that as students left die classroom he allowed them to see an answer key but that he did not call out any answers to the quiz. When Mr. Clegg queried about the incident again, I told him my assistant did not notice any problems with the administration of the quiz. I did not say my assistant agreed with Mr. Clegg "s version of the day in question. At this point, Mr. Clegg stated that he was going to go see the chairperson of our department. Dr. Thompson, and I said, "Okay." Thank you for this opportunity to reply. Ruth Ann Strickland Assistant Professor Political Science/Criminal Justice BGSA pushes for research interests This letter reflects the sentiments of all members of the Biology Graduate Student Association of ASU. The purpose of the BGSA is to create graduate student unity, promote graduate research and awareness. We, the members of the BGSA, would like to express and explain our opinions concerning the future direction of science education at ASU. The BGSA feels that the ASU administration is ushering the university onto a path detrimental to quality graduate science education. The ASU general bulletin states "As a comprehen­ sive university whose clientel is the traditional undergraduate student, Appalachian's primary mission will continue to be that of instruction" and "...the University has consistently maintained a student environment and has been responsive to the changing needs of its constituency" (emphasis added). Yes, ASU originated as a teachers' college and continues to produce teachers in its commitment to instruction. The university has also demonstrated responsiveness to "changing needs" by offering master's degrees in several fields. If ASU is to continue to grow as an institution of instructional distinction, so should the graduate programs. Another line from the general bulletin reads "At AppalacJiian research and service are supportive of the instruc­ tional mission." In any field of graduate study, research should not merely be "supportive" to instruction but needs to be of equal priority in order to promote independent and critical thinking skills definitive of higher learning. This idea is especially important in science programs; high school science When my research assistant and I teachers cannot effectively relate what spoke with Dr. Thompson (after Mr. science is without gaining an effectively Clegg's visit there), my assistant again relate what science is without gaining an recalled that he did not call out any experimential understanding of the anwers to the class. Dr. Thompson, scientific process. It does not suffice to during Mr. Clegg's visit, had asked Mr. do lab exercises in a biology classroom Clegg to come by and see him again alter he discussed the incident with me in which the "correct" answers are made and my research assistant. To this date, available by the instructor. Educators Mr. Clegg has not been back to see Dr. and future scientists alike must Thompson to hear his final assessment experience the challenge and frustration of the event. Why didn't Mr. Clegg of obtaining answers not found in any return to Dr. Thompson's office? textbook becaue the body of scientific Mr. Clegg suggests a re-quiz. This is knowledge is evergrowing. Is it not a not necessary in my opinion, given the university's role to produce the next fact that no other students questioned the administration of the quiz or claimed generation fo textbook waiters? In that my assistant called out the answers January 1990 issue of the" America to the quiz. I feel there was no ethical Society of Mocrobiology News" an violation involved here. I feel Mr. Clegg article entitled "Education Policies for is reconstructing social reality in an National Survival: A Blue Print for inaccurate way. I have always given my Improving Science Education" states, students equal consideration and deeply "...lite quality of undergraduate science resent any remarks that imply ethical education must be improved to create misconduct on my part or on Dr. both a work force of professional Thompson's part—who is a very fair scientists and excellent teachers and a and impartial person. My integrity is intact in this situation, but I seriously scientifically literate citizenry Teach question Mr. Clegg's. ing and research must be considered of equal importance in the nations' universities." It is, therefore, paramount that ASU graduate-and undergraduatescience programs have a diversity of research opportunities and expertise for students to engage in large or small scale research projects. To provide research opportunities for students, faculty members require both the time and the financial support to pursue their research interests. To quote the general bulletin, "The major purposes of research, scholarship and other creative activities are to serve as a basis for instruction, to insure a vital and intellectually engaged faculty, and to provide a means for the advancement of knowledge" (emphasis added). Similarly, the graduate bulletin advises that "Appalachian allocates faculty time and financial support toward the publication fo numerous research journals an periodicals." In our view, Dean Byrd has paved the way for ASU to fulfill these obligations to its graduate studies programs. Any less effort than that contributed by Dr. Byrd may hamper the growth of ASU as a quality instructional institution. Allocating time for faculty research neither hinders nor distracts from instructional responsibilities. In fact, active scientific research often provides new equipment and expetise, which enhances a department's instructional capacity and enables more courses to be taught with greater depth. Future educa­ tors at any academic level need handson experience to learn basic technical skills. Contrary to our administration's view, fruitful science is not an armchair endeavor. A science faculty member cannot provide a maxium learning experience by doing little else but instruction. Research produces expertise and enthusiasm, which dedicated science professors can then share with their students. Under Dean Byrd and Dr. J. Butts' guidance, a new standard for learning has been set in the department of biology; each year more graduate students have been taking the thesis option and consequently, are also considering Ph.D. studies pending completion of their work at ASU. As of spring semester 1990, at least 10 out of 18 biology graduate students intend to enter a Ph.D. program, and at least three previous master's graduates are currently engaged in doctoral work. This interest in higher learning has been prompted by student interaction with dedicated professors possessing a strong research mindset. Recent years have witnessed the hiring of additional research-orientec oiology instructors who have facilitated enthusiasm and ambition among graduate and under­ graduate students to achieve academic excellence. In this light, external monies for research have been solicited and received by BGSA members. Any de-emphasis on faculty research and, thus a lessening of diverse research opportunities for biology students, would dampen this spirit of academia and hinder the progress of biology and other sciences. It is the BGSA's perception that Dr. Byrd, during his tenure as dean, has made major strides in providing the opportunities alluded to m this letter. See LETTERS pg. 8 �The Appalachian.

There is much concern in biology and other sciences about whether ground gained will be lost in the future. We hope that succeeding deans of arts and sciences will be open-minded and attuned to the requirements of the sciences so that ASU may continue to grow as an institution of instructional distinction.

"We've taken a stand on academics," IFC President John McPherson said. "The fraternities feel the grades of their mem­ bers need work. With these guidelines we can be a self-regulatory group." The scholarship program calls for es­ tablishing a tutor assistance program within each fraternity chapter, a chapter study hall, a resource library, a monetary incen­ tive program and other incentives and rewards to recognize achievement inschol­ arship on the chapter and brother levels. Beginning in the fall of 1990, upperclassmen and first semester freshmen must have a 2.25 grade point average to receive an invitation to join a fraternity.The IFC's individual chapter standard's for initia­ tion will also be raised to a 2.25 GPA by the fall of 1991. Beginning in the spring of 1991 each chapter must maintain a2.25 average GPA, or be placed on academic probation. IFC Secretary Dermis Covington said "being in a social fraternity does provide a social outlet, but we must keep in mind that we are here to get an education. "If we regulate the academics of our organizations, it will encourage students to be well-rounded, combining the social and academic aspects of being a college student," Covington added. A total of 10 fraternities belong to ASU's Interfraternity Council. �i ne Appalachian. Thursday. Mm ? loon APPLETREE APTS.

Their new members are Michael and Lenny Federal, experienced musicians who havebeen on the scene for some time. Michael, for example, played bass with Bette Midler on one of her earlier albums, and new lead guitarist Lenny got great reviews on the club circuit with hisold act. The whole band, which also includes Ron Cook on lead vocals and rhythm guitar and Don Leonard on drums, has just gotten back into their home town, Char­ lotte, after two solid weeks of prime spring break exposure at Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett's own club down in Florida. They went over so well down there last year that they were invited back for an extended gig. The band will definitely be primed and ready to party on Saturday. Greenville's own Amateurs, a reggae band with heavy influences from a variety of other styles (most notably rock), have been playing their music all over the eastem United States for many years. Ac­ cepted as one of the best regga'e acts cur rently touring, the Amateurs haVechanged line-ups a lot in the last few years; their music remains as forceful and danceable as ever, though. Watch out for their Talk­ ing Heads covers. The last time I caught these guys was at an eating club at Princetorj; they rocked harder than I'd ever seen them rock be­ fore. So if you come to Yofest prepared to dance, you won't be disappointed. You will be disappointed, however, if you come out with more than a six-pack of beer. The rules governing alcohol limits have changed from years past, and 72 ounces is it for this Saturday. Other pertinent information includes: no glass containers for anything; you can't bring any liquor, pets or beer bongs; and if you plan to drink or not pay an additional $2 at the door on your advance ticket, bring both proof of age and your ASU ID. Rain location will be at Legends; doors will open either place at 11 a.m. Honor Students Recognized: ASU's honor students wererecog nized last Friday in a university sponsored reception.

One of the first limes the two played together was that tragic night in December, 1980 when John Lennon was shot. "We were all hanging out in a bar, feeling lousy and saying how senseless it was," Baird remembered. "We decided the best thing we could do was go make some music. And when we got to playing, it was really hot." Those jams coalesced into a bandcalled Keith and The Satellites, which became the Satellites after the departure of bassist Keith Christopher. Baird and Richards went through twelve different rhythm sections during the next several years, jtlaying nightly around the Atlanta bar circuit until they settled in at Hedgen's Baird began commuting to NorthCarolina to play with the Woodpeckers (known today as the Woods). Richards and Satel­ lites drummer Mauro Magellan kept the spirit alive in a new Atlanta band called the HeU Hounds, with Rick Price on bass and vocals. (Both Magellan and Price had beenpart of the Brains, of "Money Changes Everything" fame.) But Satellites road manager Kevin Jennings refused to give up. He took the six-song demo to his native England and secured its release as an EP entitled "Keep the Faith," on the independent Making Waves label. To avoid confusion with a British band, the record appeared under the name the Georgia Satellites. Ravereviews in the English music press and the prospect of a U.K. tour were reasons enough for the band to regroup in the fall of 1985 with the lineup of Baird, Richards, Magelland and Price. "We were so tight, and the natural chemistry was so balanced this time out," Baird said, "that we knew we had something, a certain consistent magic."The Georgia Satellites were soon signed to the Nashville-based Praxis Management, and later to Elektra. "The success of the first album was a big surprise," Baird admitted. "When it came out, I was just really proud to make a really good rock'n'roll record in the latter half of the '80s. I was goin', 'Oh God, please let it sell 50,000 copies so Elektra will let us make another one be­ fore we get dropped."' Tireless touring and extensive promo­ tional efforts (including a hit Fisher & Preachman video for "Keep Hands To Yourself') did much to propel the Georgia Satellites into theTop 10. "We did nine or ten months of touring in the U.S. alone. We were in Cincinnati, Omaha and Chi­ cago five times each, for example," Baird said. But tire Georgia Satellites also had talent and inspiration on their side, along with hard work. Baird explained: "You don't have to be on the cutting edge artistically to be emotionally affecting. But you can't let die music get safe. It has to have an edge, diose elements of danger, recklessness and adventure that make for great, rock'n'roll." t Clubscan SCABBARD AND BI.ADE 5K The National Honor Society of Scab­ bard and Blade plans to host their first annual 5K road race. The race will begin at D Lot, next to Edwin Duncan Hall, at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 5th.

Senior honor students include: Woodrow Jatnes Bostic, Jr., Victoria Lynne Creech, Terri G. Edney, James Monroe Hanks, Lori Ann Holland, Wendy Mich­ elle Huss, Margrit Kurati, Stephanie Dawn Lackey, Traci Diane Mclntyre and Dosha Elizabeth Swann. A special award was presented to Judy Turnmire Winebarger. The students were in the top 10 in their classes with a grade point The year was 1986, and it looked like pi astic dance sounds and poseur pop would conquer the charts in a musical remake of "Invasion Of the Body Snatchers." But just as rock'n'roll was bom in the South, it was reborn whenThe Georgia Satellites burst upon the scene. The platinum suc­ cess of their self-titled debut album, fired by the hit "Keep Your Hands To Your­ self," brought American rock'n'roll back to itsprimal, three-chord, blues'n'country roots. This triumph was no fluke, and for conclusive proof, check out "Open All Night," the scorching second album by the Georgia Satellites, produced by Jeff Glixman. It features the chugging roadhouse rocker "Open All Night," the first single form the LP. Dan Baud (vocals, guitar) wrote or cowrote eight of the 11 tracks on "Open All Night.""Mon Cheri"is a rebuke rouser in the lustful spirit of the Faces. "Baby So Fine" invokes the spirit of another Geor­ gia-bom musical giant, Otis Redding, in its closing "gotta-gotta" vocal coda."'Dunk n' Dine,"' Baird explains, "I wrote years ago, the same day I wrote 'Keep Your Hands To Yourself.' It was a pretty good day." Rick Richards (vocals, guitar) sings lead on three other cuts, complemented by the barrelhouse piano of Ian McLagan (formerly of the Faces). That's R ick on the two covers: the Ringo-led Beatles tune, "Don 'tPassMeBy," and the ageless Jerry Lewis classic, "Whole Lotta Shakin." Richards' own song, "Hand To Mouth," closes "Open All Night" on an unusually somber note for this band, with his slide guitar soaring over a majestic chord pro gression. Rock 'n' Roll Tavern. There the fiery sound of the Satellites took shape, stoked by straight shots of Jack Daniels and Chuck Berry. In February, 1983, sessions with pro­ ducer Glixman yielded a six-song demo tape, which included a blistering version of the George Jones favorite,"The Race Is On" as well as the future Satellites single, "Keep Your Hands To Yourself." The tracks were presented to virtually every major record label; every one passed. Disheartened, the group disbanded.

The Mountaineer football team was under jrst year Coach Jerry Moore and was picked to inish fourth. Fourth? For the best team over the >ast three years this was an insult. Well, before too long it was evident that the ^-called experts were wrong. Until the Furman ;ame, ASU looked like it was ready to win the louthem Conference. After Furman beat ASU, he team held on for a playoff berth. The fountaineers traveled to MTSU, lost on orrible calls by the referees, and went home fith a respectable first season under Moore. Football was great, but basketball was even reater. Both the men and women's teams did lings that they hadn't done before. After a so-called disappointing season, the ten entered the tournament as the third seed, loach Tom Apke had never won a first round ame. The Citadel was no match for the fountaineers. In the second round, two things were happening. ASU had not advanced to the second round in a long time, and Apke had never defeated the opponent, Furman. The Paladins were 4X4/ . I 11 I Jeff Turner no match cither, and this game put the Mountaineers on national 'television. ETSU was too much for ie Mountaineer basketball team, but ASU loved that it will be a force in the Southern inference for years to come. The Lady Mountaineers were the most [werful team during the regular season the 1st few years, but they were unable to advance try far in the tournament. Things changed, 'Ugh, as the Lady Apps won the SC tournamt and advanced to the big show-the NCAA "uament-for the first time. During the indoor and outdoor track seasons |tsaw the men and women's teams ar, two of ptop teams in the Southern Conference. The omen continued to dominate the indoor meets M won the SC championship. During the Moor season the Lady Mountaineers more M doubled the point total of their closest N, Marshall. Collins selected by San Diego By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian Et Cetera Editor The California coast is a big change from the mountains in Boone, and so is going from playing college football to reaching professional status. ASU defensive back Keith Collins will soon feel the changes that California and the NFL will provide since the 6 foot, 185-pound senior was drafted by the San Diego Chargers. Collins, a native of Jacksonville, N.C., was taken in the seventh round by the Chargers as the 193rd overall choice.The cornerback will need to be in top form as Chargers mini-camp begins Sunday. He is competing for a spot on the team with two otiter defensive backs also drafted on April 22. The competition is David Pool of Carson-Newman and Kenny Berry of NCAA cham­ pion the University of Miami. Mountaineer Head Football Coach Jerry Moore said Collins possesses qualities that are bound to find him a spot on the San Diego roster. "Keith has incredible speed and, most importantly, he reaches his top speed very quickly," Moore said. "Another star quality Collins has is sheer tenac­ ity and intelligence about the game," Moore: "He can adapt very well to different offensive situ­ ations. Having the ability to react to different offensive set-ups is necessary in college football, but even more so in the pros." Collins not only has speed as a true sense of defensive strategy; he also has the ability to change positions. According to Moore, Collins can adapt his style of play for cither lite free safety or cornerback position: "(Collins') work ethic is also one of his strengths. He always does what is expected and then some." "I would be very surprised if Keith didn't make the Chargers," Moore concluded. The road to making the club may not be so easy for Collins.Though Collins started 37consecutive games for the Apps and was ranked the lop defen­ sive player in the Southern Conference for the 1989 season, he has been criticized for his times in the 40-yard sprint. Spring practice times of 4.4 seconds have reduced to 4.57 seconds. Chargers General Manager Bobby Bcthard still has faith in Collins' abilities, even before minicamp begins. "He's a real fast kid," Bethard said, "the 100meter champ in (his) conference." Bethard did agree that Collins does have to improve some aspects of his game if heis to be an asset to theclub. He pointed out that Collins needs to be more effective against the run and also has to be more physical in his style of play. Bethard does see some instant positive points in Collins' game: "He can run very well with speed receivers. He'll have to come in here and do everything the coaches tell him and try to de­ velop." "It's not everyday that one of your best friends gets drafted into the NFL," fellow Mountaineer Mark Moore said of Collins. "1 was surprised he went as late as he did, but I still believe he'll do very well. He's got a good attitude about going to camp." Mark Moore said he believes Collins is as quick as he has ever been while playing secondary and that his speed is his best weapon. "Defensive players are always a step behind on the play, so having good recovery speed is important. Keith has great recovery speed and can catch any re­ ceiver that tries to get past him." Collins' career statistics are impressive. He was selected to the Division I-AA Ail-American team by both the Associated Press and the "Dave Tho­ mas NFL Draft Report,"one of the most respected football publications in the country. Collins was also named to the All-Southern Conference first team after being placed on the conference's sec­ ond all-conference team the year before. Further­ more, he was named Southern Conference Defen­ sive Playcr-of-lhc-Weck oncelast September when herecovered a fumble in the end zone and made an interception crucial to ASU's victory over Wake Forest. Collins racked up 101 solo tackles and 77 assists in his four years of college ball. The defen­ sive back also intercepted eight passes in his career, four of which came in his senior season. Breaking up plays was another Collins specialty. He accomplished that feat 36 teams in his career, including three blocked punts and a blocked field goal.

They pounded Keydet pitchin g for 15 hits. Garrett Hinsh aw blasted a homer for the Mountaineers. Johnny Meadows got the win for the Apps. He pitched for seven innings, allowing only three hits and no earned runs. Meadows walked five and struck out three. He finished the season with a record of 7-2 and a 2.97 ERA. In addition, Meadows had four complete games and one shutout. The senior right-hander was a bright spot all year for ASU. He finished the year by winning his last four games in a row. Appalachian Photo by Keith Harrison After beating VMI, the Apps had to play The Citadel. Notonly were the Bulldogs the top-seeded team in the conference, but they also were playing on their home field. The Citadel scored two runs in the second. ASU came back with < run in the bottom half of the inning. The Citadel then added three runs in the sixth and two more in the ninth, to secure a 7-2 win. League-leading pitcher Ken Britt improved his record to a perfect 9-0. The Mountaineers had lost a game, but they weren t out of the double-elimination tournament yet. The Apps had to play a Western Carolina team that they had taken twoout of three from two weeks ago. This time it was Western Carolina that look the win.

ASU finished the season with an overall record of 19-22-1 and a Southern Conference record of 69. The overall losing record was the first for the team in 10 years. Scott Waugh finished his junior year in fine fashion. He led the team with a .426 batting aver­ age. He had 60 base hits, nine doubles, two triples, one home run, and 27 runs batted in. Waugh had a 21 -game hitting steak in progress when the season ended. Other p'ayers that finished with averages over .300 include Doug Jones at .349, Hinshaw at .341 and Brad Niethammcr at .329. Hinshaw was the home-run leader with eight, and Niethammer fol­ lowed close behind with seven. The programs offered and requirements for each include: 75 miles for the walking and jogging program, 150 miles for the computer equipment program (life cycle and step machine), and 30 workouts for the various wight training programs.

If the university is going to implement such unfair ci«s,it should at least ensure that settling the bill is as convenient as ; i"fc»le. Certainly students have better things to do than to spend their - running between New River and the university. f"ie most unfair aspect of the policy is the way in which it singles out aim students to bear the burden of payment. Many students who live ~ a mpus have three or more roommates. If accounts are past due, the ' s tudents affected are the ones who are unfortunate enough to have r»i lis in their names. Therefore, some students might not be allowed to i mi ste because their roommates did not responsibly pay their part of the With the exception of attending a few basketball games and maybe graduating, only a handful of students will see the center. The name Student Activities Center implies a building that is a hub of student activity like a student union. This building is for ASU jocks and jock worshipers. What we aren't told is this money comes from a state that is suffering a $400 million budget shortfall. It comes from a state that can't afford to finance the rest of the public primary and secondary school year. This money comes not as a gift from the gods but from the pockets of hard working citizens of North Carolina. The second reason for the name is that the center is projected to cost $24 million, yet the state is only giving us $9.5 or so million. Who is going to make up the difference of at least $14.5 million and probably more once the project is finished? The students of ASU will pickup the tabin theway of ahigher activities fee. I won't pay any of it as I won't be here, but all you freshmen and sophomores should count on a giving a huge donation to this new arena. Instead of this misleading and boring name, I would like to propose one with a little more pizazz and a much more accurate description of what our new arena really will be. We should call it the ASU Condome. Why Condome? The fact that we don' t need a new huge coliseum seems to be irrelevant. Our current gym, we are told, isoutdated and too small. I've only seen it full once, and that was when half of the fans were from another state. I haven't seen any cracks or holes in the building or one single sign that it may be falling do wn. No, we aren't getting this new basketball arena because we need it. This is my third reason why we should call it the ASU Condome. The first reason is that the student body and the tax payers of North Carolina have been conned out of their britches. We are told we have been given a gift from the heavens. They have put a gun to our heads and have forced us to take this money. They have told us to build a monstrous basketball arena, an arena large enough to put the town of Boone in. The new basketball arena is just a huge, expensive phallic symbol for the egos of the ASU administration, athletic department and our dearly beloved alumni. See­ ing as this is the land of pious Jesse Helms, we should follow his example and cover up this huge nasty phallic symbol. How better to do the job than with a Condome? I had thought ASU was outside the scramble to erect huge and expensive arenas and stadiums. We are a small university with a small athletic following. Yet, here we have a 12,000-seat arena in the makings. That is more than one seat for each of ASU's students—a place big enough to fit the folks from Boone inside. All this to salve and pamper the fragile male egos of the administration, athletic department and alumni. It is argued we need a place for a unified graduation, intramural and other intercollegiate sports. While these are good points, do we need to build a 12,000 seat mon­ strosity? Why not build a small, inexpensive and reason­ able place to accommodate these needs? Because it wouldn't be large enough to make those egos feel good. Chancellor Thomas has let a great opportunity slip through his fingers. He had a chance to send Raleigh and the state a clear message. He could have refused the money and explained that ASU is an institution of higher learning devoted to its cause and couldn't be party to such wanton waste in a time of so much need in the areaof edu­ cation. He could have let the citizens of North Carolina know what is being done with their hard-earned money. He could have also let them know what the folks in Raleigh choose to do with their taxes and set an example in a state sorely needing some leadership in education. Instead hesaw ribbon cutting ceremonies, champagne corks popping and lots of pats on the backs from the good old boys.Instead of being the chancellor who stood up for education, he will always be remembered as the chancel­ lor who brought us the Condome. QBTOOOJ i g- university is justified in expecting students to be responsible for ~ debts, but this policy makes certain students accountable for many rs. hi e policy came into being upon recommendation from the state rs. Whereas the auditors saw this as a logical form of leverage, it is wever, an ethical form of leverage. New River, being yet another f the administration, has been profitable for the university. Yet, S it to manipulate the future of certain students is utterly deplorable, hi is may be the first time that many students have heard about this - IV . This is because the last time it was announced to all students was *i of last year. At that time, New River sent out flyers threatening bad * *- xatings for students who do not promptly pay their power bills. Not "vs^as the flyer one of the poorest examples of public relations imagin- fc»ut also it implied that the university had no choice in the implemenof the policy. ^n the university chooses to implement such controversial policies, st it could do is take responsibility for those policies. The university *_s students to be responsible for their actions, but obviously this sity does not have to answer to the same mandate. If the university s ^inything to students, it owes them respect and trust. Resident and student act on conscience Typical Greeks are ungrateful tippers To the Editor: THE FAR SIDE CCM comes ojeeK.-X krfVe to™ Y-2 6/ GARY LARSON V \ s°.^J ,£ 1990 Universal Press Syndicate "Oh, yeah? Lewis, you're fired! You apparently forgot this is a cartoon, and I can read every word you think! On behalf of the staff and manage­ ment of Western Steer, I am writing this letter in response to the sadly misin­ formed opinions expressed by Eric Griggs in a recent letter published in "The Appalachian." It seems that Mr. Griggs takes issue with our policy of adding a 20 percent gratuity for fraternity and sorority parties. Before detailing the reasons we adopted this policy, I would like to make it clear that there is no hidden charge involved in any party arranged by Western Steer. When someone calls or stops by to discuss booking a party, we make them aware of our gratuity policy before any arrangements are finalized. Furthermore, we ask that the person responsible for the party let everyone know that a gratuity will be added. There are a number of reasons why we adopted our current policy. These reasons are as listed below. Some, all or even none of these circumstances may apply to any party. Overbooking: With fraternities and sororities more than any other type group, whoever is arranging a party reserves much more space than is actually needed. When a large dining room has been reserved and an extra waitperson (or two or more) is sched­ uled to attend to an expected party of 60 and only 20 actually show up to it is an inconvenience. Such a situation wastes dining room space, which we frequently need, and also wastes the entire evening for one or more waitpeoplc. Free banquet facilities: Western Steer does not charge any group for use of our banquet facilities, even though extra woi^^>ftci^quimtHc^eUtj^lh^^^^ dining room as requested. This free service makes Western Steer an attractive choice for many groups wishing to arrange a gathering. No Appetite Syndrome: A recent sorority function at our restaurant comes to mind on this one. Many members of this particular sorority chose not to eat (except to chow down on our free rolls)—thus escaping any charge for the meeting. Such "customers" pay nothing for the use of our facilities or the service provided by their waitperson. The additional five percent service charge for these parties helps offset the losses incurred by the freeloaders in the group. Walkouts: Stereotyping or not, we have more problems with members of social greek organizations trying to leave the restaurant without paying for their meal than with all other customers combined. Stiffers: Refusing to tip or conven­ iently "forgetting" to tip is known as stiffing a waitperson. Fraternities and sororities are notorious for doing this. A good example comes to mind—a few months ago 40 members of a male social fraternity had a meeting in our large private dining room. They stayed through the entire dinner hour (actually two hours or more) and spent hundreds of dollars. They left a tremendous mess and six dollars for their waits (two of our best) to split. Such a tip is far from adequate and is an insult to any good waitperson. Time of and duration of party: Usually when greeks wish to use our facilities, they not only want to eat dinner, but to stay, and stay, and stay, afterwards. As a rule also, these meetings have to be scheduled during the busiest part of the evening, fre­ quently on one of our busiest days. Again, this usually means that the waits assigned to the party make only the money they earn from the one group they are assigned for the evening. Fifteen percent is the accepted proper amount to tip. The additional five percent which Western Steer charges for fraternities and sororities is less than 30 additional cents for the most popular meals on our menu. Thirty cents per person is a small price to pay for the use of a conference room for the evening and to compensate a waitperson for the added inconvenience and loss of tips incurred by the party—which brings us back to one of our original points, namely that for some reason, fraternity and sorority parties are unwilling to adequately tip for the service they receive. Left on their own (if we do not add a service charge), greeks proved to tip under five percent—less than a third of the accepted minimum. As is frequently the case, our policy is the result of a few (well, quite a few) individuals ruining an organization's reputation and making life difficult for a great many more. I would like to emphasize that not all greek (and similar) organizations fit the typical behavior which resulted in the implementation of our policy. Phi Mu Alpha and Circle K are examples of groups who have never posed any problem, but have perhaps suffered due to our new policy. Concerning the proposed boycott of Western Steer—people should spend their money where they wish. At Western Steer, we have confidence in the quality and value of our food, service and facilities. If greeks can find a better "bargain," we encourage them to take advantage of it. William C. Baldwin Boone, N.C. Grad goof ignored by professors To the Editor: Last month, a substitute instructor J^™Lstuden^av^m^udidaMfroccss class a short quiz. Finished with the quiz, the majority of my classmates and I were turning them in. One of the people that had finished asked the grad student what the answers were. In a voice that could be heard by everyone, he called out the answers. At that time, there were approximately six people who had not finished. I watched a classmate quickly fill in the answers. I talked with at least five others who had written down the answers as they were called out or had seen what had happened. I confronted my professor. Dr. Ruth Ann Strickland, with the situation. She assured me she would look into it. At the end of the next class, I asked her what, if anything, she was going to do about the incident. Dr. Strickland said she had recorded the grades. The grad student did not contest what I said when she asked what had happened. I was told she wasn't going to deal with the matter because it "only involved a small percentage of the class." I met with Dr. Joel A. Thompson, political science/criminal justice chairman. After I explained what had happened, he basically took the same stance as Dr. Strickland. She had spoken with him after I told her I was going to meet with him. After I protested the decision for several minutes, he told me that either he or Dr. Strickland would discuss it with me and "see about working something out." That was over three weeks ago. A re-quiz would only take five minutes. Is five minutes and a little time out of class all it takes for an ASU professor not to show equal considera­ tion to all students? If that isn't the problem, what is? This is an ethics violation that demands to be dealt with. I question the rationale of Dr. Strickland and Dr. Thompson in this case, because I know they are intelligent people. I challenge them to give this situation some serious thought. It has obviously been swept under the carpet. Dave Clegg ASU Box 8479 �y The Appalachian. Thursday.

[esidence Life Associate DirectorRick jexplained that the first year RAs used tceive $2,100 a year and second year 's received $2,400 a year, leis said that Residence Life had re­ sted a $300 increase in the RA's pay year which was approved. Geis added, however, that somehow the RAs began to receivepay which would add up to be a $600 increase instead of $300. This made the RAs furious, Geis said. Tamara Miles, an RA in Winkler Resi­ dence Hall, said, "Some went to see law­ yers. It was a big mess." The error was not detected, Geis said, until an RA came to Residence Life and asked about the over pay. After checking theproblem out closely, Geis said Residence Life officials found they did not have the money to pay the R A the extra $300 a year. Geis said a solution has to be found, and the firstone was to take $260 dollars out of the RA's pay within a two-month period. Miles also said sheheard talk of a walk­ out from some RAs when their contract ended on May 13 instead of leaving the 15th. This would leave Residence Life having to close off the dorms and check out the students leaving after the 13th, she said. Geis said that Associate Vice Chancel­ lor of Student Development Barbara Daye and Residence Life Director Bob Dunnigan went through the budget and came up with a solution. Geis said Residence Life had a reserve cash fund that could cover the amount, which would be about $15 or $16 thou­ sand. According to Miles, the RAs will now be getting the correct pay, which involves a small monthly cut from what they have been getting all year. She said that most RAs, however, were happy with the solu­ tion. Geis said "Bottom line is how the sys­ tem works." After winning the battle for their pay, the RAs still must go through another struggle over their parking stickers. Director of Public Safety and Security Roy Tugman gave three reasons why the RAs might lose their parking stickers, which allow them to park their cars close to their residence halls. Tugman said that RAs were the only group of students who received this privi­ lege and he could not justify why. Tugman added that the parking stickers were not a requirement for the job of being aRA. Miles said RAs on the west side of campus have already lost their parking stickers and added that many other RAs were upset by the prospect of losing their stickers. Miles said, "If you have a car you should be able to use it in conjunction with your job." ,onjessed killer Daniel Brian Lee given death sentence '<>r murdering 27-year-old ASU employee Jeni Gray By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Confessed murderer Daniel Brian Lee cheduled to be put to death on June 29 ihemurder of former ASU employee iGray last September, following less than seven hours of Iterations, a six-man, six-woman jury (mmendcd to Judge Charles C.

RINGLEY Appalachian Staff Writer ASU's new College of Business build­ ing is almost ready. Vice Chancellor of Business Affairs Ned Trivette said that initially the univer­ sity was looking toward a February com­ pletion date; now the building should be completed in May and fully occupied by the end of summer when students return. The new building is much larger than the old business building, he said. "It has 130,000 square feet of space as compared, say, to Walker Hall, having about 50some thousand." According to Trivette, the site for the College of Business building was identi­ fied several years ago in a long-range plan that was developed with the intent of expanding the campus. "The site was acquired by purchasing probably as many as seven parcels of land there, from private property owners," Trivette said. "The college of business building is pretty much the last major building that was a part of that long-range plan." Funding for the new building was to­ tally state appropriated, Trivette said. The legislature appropriated $10.4million. Ac­ cording to Trivette, the money was appropriated over two sessions. Trivette said contracts were awarded after funding for the project had been approved. According to Trivette, the new College of Business building is the biggest on campus and is the most expensive aca­ demic building. Trivette added, "Weneedacouplemore hundred thousand dollars to furnish it the way it should be furnished." College of Business Dean Grant Davis said the business building contained "all the latest in teaching technology." As of now, they have many different fund raising programs, Davis said, one of which is the alumni wall which is to be located in the new business building. Trivette said the alumni wall is "a way of honoring that person and for them to see their name." He said alumni would pur­ chase a brick for $100, and the brick would be engraved with their name. In terms of money generated, he said, "they'll probably raise$20,000 to $25,000 in just selling bricks." As for the name, Trivette said it has not been determined yet, and the develop­ ment office is working on it. Trivette said the entire College of Busi­ ness will moveoutof Walker Hall and into the new building. "Walker Hall then will become a building for 2 or 3 different things. It has been decided what will go over there: mathematics will move from Sanford, the graduate school which is in the basement of East Hall will move there, and there may be one other small depart­ ment," he said. Enrollment will not increase in theCol­ lege of Business with the advent of the new building, Davis said. Davis said there would probably be more sections of specific classes offered, and the faculty has been discussing the possibly of raising admissions standards for students wishing to enroll in the Col­ lege of Business. Davis said it has not been decided whether faculty will be increased. Davis said every room has TV and computer hook-ups and projector capabil­ ity. Each classroom has tiered seating. He also said there will be a much larger computer lab, a faculty lounge, a student lounge, and office space for student or­ ganizations. �~lhe Appalachian. Tuesday.

Since I did not have my own clubs and didn't want to leave the Canadians with a ion of Americans, I left DT to his e and went shopping.

The Lady Mountaineers won the Southern Conference women's track tournament for the fourth consecutive year in Kidd Brewer this past weekend. Led by Senior Vanessa Kosmala, the tourna­ ment MVP, ASU took 12 of the 18 events. The Lady Apps more than doubled second place Marshall by a score of 275 to 112 points. Kosmala won in the 800 meter, 1500 meter and 3000 meter. In the 1500 she set a new conference record with a ran of 4:30.2. Stethane Pipkins won both the 100 and 200 and was a member of the 400 and 1600 meter relay teams. Linda McKoy jumped a conference record 20 feet, six inches. Whitney Ball set a conference record in the 10,000 meter and also won the 5,000 meter race. Sabrina Hill had a conference record 38 feet, 2.75 inches in the triple jump andMelissia Rogers won the400 with a conference best time of 56.50. Just as the ASU Men's Track and Field Team won the Indoor Southern Conference title in Feb­ ruary, edging out the favored VMI on their own turf, the Keydets turned the tables and topped their ASU hosts 144 to 120 to win the Men's Outdoor Conference Championship. Despite the team total, several ASU athletes had personal best performances. High hurdlers Law­ rence Lloyd, Kedrick Ford and Allen Brooks all had personal best times on Friday and advanced to Saturday's downpour to take second, fourth and fifth respectively in the event which proved to be ASU's best showing in the meet. VMI's hold on the flat sprints was broken, however, only by Frank Allen's third placement in the 100 mi er, Eric Joe's 400 meter third and Curtis Lowe's fourth in the 400 meter. The VMI vaulters reversed the ASU indoor sweep with rain dampened jumps to similarly sweep the event and front VMI's charge. Despite the rain, Brooks continued to close in on the NCAA national qualifying mark in the 400 meter hurdles. The junior captain's second place time of 51.33 was a persona] best and only three tenths of a second off of the national standard. Brooks returned with teammates Lawrence Lloyd, Curtis Lowe and Eric Joe to win the 4x400 relay. Rob Grant took second in the javelin. After disap­ pointing results in the long jump, Jon Fullen and Linell Johnson took the expected first and second places in the triple jump. Fullen added second place points in the high jump. As expected, Boone weather provided adver­ sity: exhausting heat for Friday's distance runs and chilling rain for Saturday's sprints and jumps. Junior Brad Dodson weathered the heat for third in Friday's 10-K (6.2 miles) and returned in the rain Saturdav for sixth in the 5K. Senior captain Pete Vandcnburg was similarly undaunted. In the Indoor 5,000 and 3,000 Van denburg joined with Dodson to provide the essen­ tial points that enabled ASU to edge VMI for the Indoor team championship Vandenburg's out­ door performances this weekend added to his list of outstanding races as he won the 3,000 meter steeplechase on Friday and 1500 meter, edging out a VMI rival. Vandenburg took third in the 5,000 meter. Appalachian Photo by Nicole Quinn ENROUTE TO FOURTH CONSECUTIVE TITLE: The ASU women's track squad recorded their fourth consecutive outdoor title this past weekend, taking the Southern Conference Tournament victory at Kidd Brewer Stadium. In the men's toumey, the Keydets of Virginia Military upset the Mountaineers to take the championship. Ranger Challenge holds head-to-head competition From Staff Reports The second Annual ASU Ranger Challenge Head to Head Competition was held this past weekend on Sanford Mall. Davidson, Wake For­ est and ASU all competed in the challenge. ASU took firstplacein four of the six events and finished second in the other two events. "The events that we did on Saturday were the physical training, which consists of two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-tips and a two mile run, M16 weapon qualifications, hand grenade throwing for accuracy and assembly of the M16 and M60 weapons. All of these events were indi­ vidual events,"advisorCaptain Rucker Snead said. The construction of a one-rope bridge and a 10K road march carrying a weapon and a 30pound pack are both team events," Snead said. The team consists of nine persons, and the time on the road march does not stop until the last "Bret Lovin carried two ruck sacks for the last three miles of the road march becauseof an injury to another team member," Snead said. Garrett Robinson was the captain of the team, and he led the way in the physical training test sport of ROTC. "Its like a decathlon in that there are a number of events, but there is individual as well as team competition," said Snead.

'1-1 g the state's case would not have been in the best interest of anyone Thomas explains ASU's direction Institutions of higher education across the land are under greater scrutiny from the public and press than ever before, and for good reason. Tuitions are rising faster than the inflation rate, state budgets are shrinking, and students and their parents want to know if they're getting their money's worth at the college or university of their choice. Reports that appeared throughout the 1980s beginning with "A Nation at Risk," and books such as the recent "Killing theSpirit: Higher Education in America," cause all of us with a stake in higher education— consumers as well as administrators—to examine our institutions and missions. Are wedelivering the promises we make to high school students and their parents in our glossy recruiting publications? Do we provide the serv­ ices we promise to the regions which support us so gen­ erously? At ASU, and at many other comprehensive universi­ ties across the nation, a debate over faculty responsibili­ ties is taking place in an attempt to answer these questioas. The debate centers on the value of research versus the value of classroom teaching. Research is, of course, a primary role for faculty mem­ bers at research institutions such as the University of Chicago and UNC-Chapel Hill. These universities offer a wide variety of graduate programs and doctoral de­ grees. Those of us at comprehensive universities, how ever, see ourselves as concerned primarily with deliver­ ing quality instruction. We take pride in the fact that senior professors, rather than graduate students working under the supervision of professors, teach classes to freshmen and sophomores, and we recognize our respon­ sibility to keep those classes small. ASU, like the research universities, has many talented faculty members who conduct research and publish their findings, and we give them as much support as possible in terms of travel and equipment funds, release time from classes and assistance in seeking grants which will allow them to pursue their projects. We value these scholars and salute their perseverance in expanding the sums of knowledge in the disciplines. Our challenge, then, is to find a balance in supporting their scholarship whilemain­ taining their presence in the classroom. Many comprehensive universities, however, have fallen into a trap.They are"wanna-bes."They want the prestige that accrues to research institutions in the form of major grants and publicity for research breakthroughs. The deans or department chairs to reward mediocre research, teaching or public service. Chancellors and presidents who are willing to stand up and becounted will not permit it. Ernest Boyer, in a 1987 Carnegie Foundation report, asserts that in institutions enrolling a high percentage of undergraduates (which make up 93 percent of ASU's student body), priority should be given to teaching, not research. All professors should be first-rate scholars, and he urges the ideal of the "scholar-teacher," which means "staying abreast of the profession, knowing the literature in one's field, and skillfully communicating such information to students." In "The New American Scholar," a soon to be released administrators there usually will not admit to encourag­ ing a "publish or perish" environment, but they certainly Carnegie Foundation report, Eugene Rice and Ernest act as if they do. It doesn't take an astute faculty long to Boyer call for a new vision of the university professor­ spot a lazy dean who measures everyone's contributions ship. They note that in the postwar period, the image of by the same yardstick—the number of articles published the academic professional came to be based on research in refereed journals. I believe that students suffer when as the central professional endeavor and the focus of comprehensive universities try to have it both ways. You academic life, and that reputations and rewards accrued can't run with the fox and bark with the hounds. We are to those who concentrated their energiesin research.Two not funded that way.

Major Stoneville, NC =4 Sanford: budget deficit reduction is a lie To the Editor: "Egad! Vikings! And they mean business. Washington's irresponsible handling of Social SecurityTrust Fundsurpluses could be dismissed as merely a numbers game— if the consequences were not so cruel. I'm not being overly dramatic. It is cruel trickery indeed. Look at what the government does: First, we take from the wages of hard­ working people and tell them they are contributing to a sound retirement pro­ gram that will pay them future benefits. Second, we borrow surplus contribu­ tions from die retirement program. That is, we take all the money that is left after today's retirees receive their benefits and spend it on other government expenses, leaving he retirement program with a pile of IOU's. Of course, we'll have to pay back those notes to the retirement system in the fu­ ture, when the benefits due to the next generation of retirees exceed contribu­ tions . Where wil1 we get themoney ? We '11 have to raise taxes or borrow still more just to replace contributions borrowed from the trust fund's so-called surplus. That is why I call Social Security, the way Wash­ ington handles it now a "pay now, pay again later" program. Finally, we count the surplus Social Security funds we borrow and even the interest we pay on those lOUs as addi­ tional government in come, which means we hide—cover up—thr true size of the federal deficit. These deceptions operate on a stagger­ ing scale.The General Accounting Office recently completed a study for me that shows the budget deficit is not, as the budget-writers claim, less than $140 bil­ lion and shrinking. No, the deficit is actu­ ally more than $250 billion a year and growing. That's right, a quarter of a tril­ lion dollars and growing every year. You probably have heard a lot of talk in recent years about Gramm-Rudm an budget cuts and how Washington is reducing the deficit. It simply isnot true.Take away the Social Security surplus and other tricks, and America's deficit is bigger every ear. The result: While we have been foolishly applauding ourselves for reducing the deficit, America's debt has tripled to more than $3 trillion in the last eight years. It will exceed $4 trillion in 1993. The amount of money we will pay in interest this year—around $260 billion— is nearly as much as we will spend on the entire nation's defense. Next year we will pay more in interest on the debt than we will on defense. Not only will there come a time when we can't borrow any more; we face the more serious prospect of never getting debt under control. We are digging our­ selves into a deeper and deeper pit, and the ground is getting more and more squishy under our feet. That is the price of ignor­ ing the true size of the deficit whileblindly, falsely and foolishly applauding ourselves for deficit cutting. America can no longer afford the de­ ceitful budget practices of the past. The coverup must stop. A growing number of members in Congress support budget reform legisla­ tion I have introduced that will isolate Social Security and other retirement funds from the rest of the federal budget. You may have heard of some other proposels to take Social Security off-budget, includ­ ing one form President Bush. The prob­ lem I have with the White House is that they say some day, in 1993 or 1994, they will start treating Social Security hon­ estly. That's not good enough. We must stop the deceit, and stop it now.

Defense attorneys yesterday tried to persuade the jury to rule for life in prison by claiming that the prosecution painted the murder of Gray as a picture of horror and told jurors they should not make any rash decisions concerning Lee's fate out of anger towards the crimes he confessed to committing. Attorneys for Lee's defense also told jurors thatsentencing Lee to die wouldnot bring Gray back. "We can't give life," one of Lee's attorneys told the jury, "we can only take it away." The defense also accused the prosecu­ tion of wanting the jury to act as execu­ tioners, not judges. "They want you to hate," Lee's attorneys said and urged members of the jury "to be judges of the facts and to consider all of the evidence fairly and all of the evidence impartially."

In addition to facing expulsion from the university, any person found guilty of placing a bomb threat will be subject to a penalty for committing a state offence. According to officials, the offense is considered a misdeamenor which carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine and a six-month prison sentence.

According to Cole, Thomas has asked cabinet members for recommendations Tugman, these threats have caused the cancellation of classes in several build­ ings. He also said that several residence halls have been targeted by the threats. Although noevidenceof an actual bomb has been discovered in any of the threats, Tugman said each threat must be taken seriously to avoid a possible catastrophe. Tugman has requested that any individ­ ual with information concerning the tfrrcats call security at 262-2150.

Condom dispensers vandalized (CPS)—A mysterious student group wrecked a condom vending machine on the campus of Mankato State University in Minnesota, claiming it was trying to prevent students from following "the path of Satan." The group then anonymously sent a letter to the company that leases the ma chines to the school, condemning pre marital sex and threatening to vandalize more condom dispensers. In its letter to Gerry Erickson, owner of G&B Vending Inc., "Students Against Sin" promised to "systematically sabo tage each and every one"of the machines on campus.

Well, who knows— It is that time of year when the Appala­ chian Dance Ensemble shows its best side for all to see. Starting at 8 p.m. in Chapell Wilson Auditorium, there will be seven pieces choreographed by and featuring instructors and students. Several of the pieces are very experimental, especially for Boone, and lean toward conceptual performance art. These shows are always very good and professional, well worth the small admission price of $2. I do suggest going to this show; whether you go Thursday, Friday or Saturday, it will be | well worth your time. Competing for your presence tonight Ithrough Sunday will be "Pirates of Penince." This classic Gilbert and Sullivan _ jretta will beplaying at8 p.m. in Chapell IWilson Auditorium; tickets will cost $4 Ifor students and senior citizens, $6 for ltdults, and are available in the Chapell IWilson box office.

Over in Our House, A.P.P.S. will pres­ ent "Chi ldsplay," a suspense thriller about a lonely youngster, hii widowed working mother and acopwho suspects thechild of murder.

A unique film, it features a not-so-subtle message that reading is good; the film is well worth the time it takes to see it. It will run at 7 p.m. for free both Friday and Saturday nights.

Political cartoonist Jules Feiffer speaks his mind By ROSS MECHAM Appalachian Staff Writer Jules Feiffer, the Pulitzer Prize-win­ ning cartoonist best known for his cap­ tions, will be speaking on the ASU cam­ pus Tuesday, May 1, 1990, in Farthing Auditorium at 8 p.m. This performance, sponsored by the Forum Scries, is free and open to the public. Fei ffer is a satirist whose strong point is compassion. He is a humorist who mixes such unlikely subjects as nuclear destruc­ tion and sexual relationships. In less than four years, Feiffer rose from the status of a struggling artist contributing free draw­ ings to a weekly Greenwich Village news­ paper to that of a cartoonist syndicated internationally. His wry cartoon wit has stood the test of time—30 years of na­ tional newspaper syndication. He is also the author of nine plays, three novels, five screenplays and 13 volumes of cartoons. PBS's"Great Performances" recently presented his work,"Grown Ups," starring Jean Stapleton, Charles Grodin and Marilu Hcrmer. A documentary about Feiffer, "Life and Opinions of Jules Feif­ fer," has also been shown on PBS. and the urban tenor around them, as well as the half-mad political leaders in Wash­ ington. Feiffer began cartooning with Will Eisner, creator of "The Spirit," who al­ lowed him to write scripts. Later, based on his stint in the Signal Corps, Feiffer devel­ oped the character Munro, the four-yearold boy drafted by mistake into the Army. In 1961, an animated version of Munro was awarded an Oscar as the best shortsubject cartoon of the year. His cartoons won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986. Gary Trudeau, creator if the "Doonesbury" cartoon, credits Feiffer as being his strip guru. His signature character, Ms. Modern Dancer, dances to spring, summer, au­ tumn, Ronald Reagan, the new year, and to any endeavor that requires courage, gravity and hope against hope.The humor is wistful and understated. He "makes you laugh at first and then zaps you with thought-provoking seriousness." Feiffer has been called "the most tal­ ented social commentator in cartooning of our generation." His has been a thought­ ful, pointed, liberal contribution to edito­ rial cartooning. His character range from nameless stereotypical characters to presi­ dents, popes and pertinent politicians. His wonderful cast consists of self-deprecat­ ing characters—frustrated men and women trying to cope with the problems of he/she Feiffer gets his material from news, from movies and from walking thestreets of his neighborhood. The Feiffer drawing style, brilliant and self-assured, is free­ hand, which he says is "fun because it's immediate, direct contact with the paper. It has an expressiveness that you can't get when you're tracing even loosely, and it dances for me." Feiffer is in large part responsible for any cultural and/or intel­ lectual recognition American cartoonists receive today.

For all you ASU students who have seen the The Creek perform live, you know what kind of great show they will put on at Legends on April 26. However for all you students that have not had a chance to see them rock the night away tonight is the night perfect time to become a true "Creek freak." The Creek has been together for nearly a decade. The band started out as the wellknown Sugarcreek,releasing three albums under that name. The band's name, however, seemed to be misleading, given that their progres­ sive rock style was anything but country/ bluegrass/folk. So in 1986 the "sugar" w as dropped and the band became simply The Creek. A fourth album came out late in 1986, surprisingly titledTheCreek. One of the main hits on this album is titled Storm the Gate." "Storm The Gate" sets The Creek boys back on the map, well after the release of their previous albums. The latest release sees more of a return of the Sugarcreek "Rock the Night Away" days, but the band is at its most powerful now, mainly due to a well-in-order pro­ duction by keyboardist Rick Lee. Key sources of the band's enthusiasm are their passion for music and a desire to entertain with a special, crazy touch. They have been recommended by "Billboard" and the "Kerrang," the lead­ ing American and European music publi­ cations. respectfully. They have also had great reviews on American Bandstand. You could go on for days discussing reviews and opinions about The Creek, but until you go see them for yourselves this wonderful experience will never be your. We all know what it is like to go pay $5-10 to see a so-called "great regional act" and to find out they did not meet up to your expectations. However, TheCreek is sure to put on a show that will blow your mind and ears away. Not only have they toured extensively through the United States, they have also toured Europe on several occasions. Producers have labeled them one of the great rock 'n' roll bands soon to take the world by storm. To keep everyone from missing the show this Thursday at Legends, we have come up with three simple guidelines to instruments played, because you're all going to want to know their names for the after-show talks you'll have with them.

HAYNES frontman reverently declined, saying "flREHOSE is about to come on." Appalachian SUIT Writer B Wasquite an Easter break. TbeBudfest Their tour is dubbed "The Ball Buster Tour 1990," and at about 11:30 flREHOSE got onstage and did exactly that. Watt wore his obligatory five o'clock shadow; Hurley's hair was a reverse ponytail immaculately hanging over his face; and Crawford remained in quiet deference for his esteemed bandmates. Watt kept up a rapport with the crowd, commenting on his love of Chapel Hill, respect for James Worthy and disillusionment with the United State today; response was enthusiastic.

The Minutemen were oneof the most influential and politi­ cally important "progressive" bands of uie 80s. ey D. Boon, Mike Watt andGeorge Hurley collectively formedThe Minutemen. They along with Husker Du. Meat Puppets, ick Flag and Bad Brains helped estab­ lish SST Records as the premier label in American music in the 1980s. I hey released their first recording, "anoid Time," in 1980, and unveiled 1 hree Way Tie (For Last)," their last in 48S; in total, a staggering eight albums and EPs were recorded in five years. The band met an end in early 1986 with the untimely death of D. Boone. 1 They broke down with a song most haven't heard, titled "Down with Pigs." A furious "Whisperin' While Hollerin'" followed, with Watt doing his usual cheek exercising antics. Among the standout songs were: "From One Cums One," "Making the Freeway," "Me and You, Remembering," "Honey, Please," and a blistering cover of Blue Oyster Cult's classic "The Red and the Black" for an encore. It was a great show from begin­ ning to end. Anyone calling SST's phone listing for Watt made a comment that has been comment only reached an answering running around in my head. He said: "I machine message, so the exact cause and love seeing the changes in college stu­ time of his demise remain unverified. dents; I love to see the changes they go I cople have said he died in a car wreck, through.

The good news is that Watt and Hurley resurfaced in 1986, as fTREHOSE with the addition of Ed (Fromohio) Crawford. I he best news is they played the Cradle or a measley eight bucks a head and tore the place down. Buffalow Tom, also on SST, opened up Hie show with an energetic and forceful performance. The crowd thumped, rocked slammed to music that was reminis­ cent of Husker Du but not totally unlike inosaur Jr. One stand-out jam was a tune called "Bird Brain." It was sort of bluesy with a tremendous break that left my jaw slightly ajar. Buffalo Tom is an excellent band and gave an inspired set.

The Chicago bears had a tremendous draft. I The Bears were in desperate need of defense I and that is exactly what they got. Chicago had I six picks in the first four rounds, and they chose I four defensive players. All four of these players I are outstanding pro prospects. The best pick the I Bears made was Mark Carrier, a safety from 1Southern California. Carrier won the Jim Thorpe I Award last year as the best defensive back in the I NCAA. With additions such as Carrier, the I Bears' defense should resume their dominating I style. Another team that was a winner in the draft was the Detroit Lions. The pick that made this draft successful for the Lions was that of quarterback Andre Ware. Ware won the Heisman Trophy after passing for 4,699 yards and 46 touchdowns last year. The run-and-shoot offense of the Lions will be in outstanding hands for years to come. The final team having a winning draft was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers got the best defensive player in Keith McCants. McCants is an explosive linebacker from the University of Alabama. He is a complete player who comes to the NFL with size, power, speed and talent. The PATRICK WOOTEN Buccanneers got a steal when they were able to draft McCants with the IniKbfer four pick. Additionally, Tampa Bdy' Wak fable to pick up running back Reggie Cobb from Ithe University of Tennessee. Cobb, if he can "•lay out of trouble—something he didn't do in :ollege--will be a star in the NFL for years to :ome. — The NFL draft also produced some losers. Tie team that was the biggest loser was the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts, who acquired the number-one pick from the Atlanta Falcons in the •draft, chose quarterback Jeff George of Illinois. iswas a complete waste of a number-one selection. The Colts were not in need of a quarterback. They need help on the offensive line, the defensive secondary and the position of Jdght end. They failed to get any of these needs "illed. Jeff George is this year's Steve Walsh. At the rate the NFL's Kansas City Chiefs are acquiring ASU football players, the club's offi­ cials may want to move their training camp to Boone. Two more Mountaineers entered the profes­ sional ranks Sunday as offensive tackle Derrick Graham and defensive back Keith Collins were drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers, respectively. Graham was taken in the fifth round as the 124th overall pick and Collms was taken in the seventh round as the 193th selection. Graham was the right-sized player we were looking for on our line,"Chiefs' Directorof Player Personnel Whitey Dovell said. Dovell had the chance to observe Graham in the various all-star games in which Graham played, most notably the Blue-Gray All-Star Game held every Christmas in Montgomery, Ala. .. not good, but any rookie needs to learn the ropes first." As any college athlete with the possibility of being drafted would be, Graham was rather anx­ ious about his chances. Since ESPN's live cover­ age of the draft ended after the third round, Graham's future would not be immediately broad­ casted. Instead, the network's draft updates at the bottom of the TV screen would tell the story. Graham apparently received word of his selec­ tion from friends. "I got the news about being selected from Jimmy Snowden," Graham said. At 9:30 p.m., I went to the Food Court to get something to eat with some of my teammates, and I got back at about 9:45. Right as I walked in, the phone rang and it was Jimmy who told me I was Graham said he heard nothing from the Chiefs' personnel Sunday night, but talked to head coach Marty Schottenheimer and his position coach the next day. This Sunday, Graham is expected in Kansas City for a one-week mini-camp and is also ex­ pected later for the Chiefs' opening spring prac­ tices. The senior said he hopes he can make all the practices the Chiefs ask him to attend, but he has to clear leaving Boone with his supervisors at the Watauga County Courthouse where he interns as a parole and probation officer. The adjustment to the pro game is often a great change for any rookie. But Graham also has to get used to a new area of the country, since the lineman is used to either Boone or his hometown of Groveland, Fla. Graham said he wouldn't feel too out of place, and much of that has to do with the Chief's possessing other recent ASU talents including All-Pro linebacker Dino Hackett and newly acquired placekicker Bjom Nittmo. "I played with Dino for one year and played four years with Bjorn, so it will be nice to see a few friendly faces as I enter camp," Graham said. "I can learn from both of them how to adjust to playing in the NFL and how life will be as a pro." Editor' sNote: Keith Collins will be featured in the May 3 issue of "The Appalachian." Dovelle said the Chiefs' scout for the region. Chuck Cook, watched Graham's progression throughout the regular season. And after Dovell reviewed videotapes of Graham in action, he considered the 6'6", 309 pound tackle the right man for the Chiefs to draft, if he would still be available. Wc (tlie Chiefs staff) talked to many of the ASU coaches, along with the trainers and the equipment managers, and their remarks about Graham were impressive," Dovell said. "His physical attributes were evident on the tapes we saw, but we wanted to know how he would adapt to the pro game mentally, and we believe he'll do well in the long run." Offensive linemen were a high priority for the Chiefs in this year's draft, as two»of their Wtp four * picks were linemen. The other frontlinetpicked besides Graham was center Tim Grunhard of Notre Dame, chosen in the second round as the 40th pick overall. Dovell said the offensive line of the Chiefs is stable, yet there is always a need for new talent in case injuries sideline an effective starter. "Wc don't need many young people for our setup on offense, but wc always try to get some insurance," Dov^JJ said. "We're pleased with the way Graham piays, frut we hope he doesn't get too much time on lite field anytime soon. Not that he's Derrick Graham Another team failing to fill any of its primary 'eeds was the Miami Dolphins.

They scored one run in the first inning and two more in the third on a long home-run by first baseman Todd Swisher.

The finals will be played on Sunday. Lazarus was the starting pitcher for ASU. Despite a rough start, he pitched six strong innings—giving up three runs, three hits and four walks—while he struck out three batters. Lazarus had to pitch through three errors, but he did get one incredible defensive play from Johnny McCraw. In the top of the fourth inning. Liberty third baseman Doug McClintock drove a Lazarus pitch deep into right field. McCraw leaped and reached over the fence to make the catch, robbing McClin­ tock of an apparent home run. McCraw landed akwardly, causing him to twist his ankle and forcing him out of the game. Head Coach Jim Morris said McCraw would beready to play in the Southern Conference Tourney. Scott Waugh doubled to start the bottom of the fifth inning. Niethammer, tied for the team lead with six homers, surprised everyone by laying down a perfect bunt. With runners on first and third, the Mountaineers took a page from the Billy Martin book of baseball. Niethammer began running to second base. As Liberty catcher Jamey Mason began to throw to second baseman Chris Robbins, Waugh took off for home. He scored, as the return throw from second was late. The ASU bats continued to be hot in the sixth mmng. The Mountaineers scored six runs on hits from Jaslow, Jones, Waugh, Hollins and Macchia. Other contributions came from Mike Torrence! who reached on an error; Niethammer, who hit a sacrifice fly; and Hinshaw, who was hit by apitch. Wayne Carter, Chris Smith and Avery Wag­ oner provided the relief for Lazarus. They were not spectacular, but they were effective, despite givrng up three runs in the eighth inning. ASU is scheduled to play VMI today in the Southern Conference Tournament. Coach Mor­ ns said the Citadel would have to be the favorite since they won the regular season tide and are hosting the tournament; however, any of the SC teams could realistically win it. �Tonight Only!! apartments ••*1 Heavy Metal Experts...

We are presently compiling an inven­ tory of faculty at ASU (and across the state) whose expertise can be applied to regional environmental problems. While PSEC is not an activist program and avoids taking sides on controversial issues, we believe that professionally responsible, objective data, shared with all parties concerned, can lead to better local and regional decision-making.

Condoms should not only be put in residence halls, but they should also be available in all public buildings on our campus. After all, some people like their sex in places other than the bedroom under the covers with the light off—on Tuesdays. THE FAR SIDE mental issues, and we though readers would be interested in the results. We interviewd 58 individuals using a structured interview schedule which took about 20 minutes to administer. Our stratified sample included 20 students, 19 faculty and 19 staff. The vast majority of our informants were aware and concerned about global and local environmental issues. Faculty and staff were more likely than students to be aware of local issues and were more likely to express concern for the effect environmental problems might have on future generations. The large majority of our informants also were actively involved in enviromental causes including recycling, refusing to buy environmentally destructive products such as aerosols, joining environmental organizations, and participating in events in support of environmental issues. We asked their opinion about three specific issues: the proposed develop­ ment on Grandfather Mountain, the proposed peak generator plant in Deep Gap, and the planned ASU student activity center. No one we interviewed was in favor of the peak generator plant and only one person favored the development on Grandfather Mountain. Only twelve people (24 percent) supported the proposed student activity generator unpopularcemer To the Editor: Our class recently completed a study "f attitudes on camDus toward environ- By GARY LARSON "Hey! Look at Red Bear!... Waiiiiit... THAT not real!" Life is a give-and-take process, and sex, as a part of life, should be viewed likewise. We cannot be expected not to eat or breathe because we might be contaminated by our environment. We can only provide the best pos­ sible environment for ourselves and hope for the best. In the same temper, we should provide condoms to sexually active people to provide them with the best and safest sexual environment possible. issues of support dominate reader response these II society has become the haven for the apathetic throng, the colleges and universities should work toward the abolishment of this attitude. n addition to theexpression of ideasand beliefs, the university community nas realized the best way to let their opinions be known: the formation of interest groups. One lone voice is not likely to be heard; however, a concentrated effort of many will be heard. In the past few years, groups have jDeen formed for the purpose of expressing concerns about the environment, questioning administrative decisions (i.e. the Dougherty house), and defend^ ing human rights. The universi ty is indeed growing. Yet, the studen t body is growing in other, jmore profound ways. Whether this is seen as positive or negative is up to the I individual. Yet, one thing is clear: an opinionated and informed student body rctlects academic success on the part of the university. There are much more pressing problems in America than amoral sex out of wedlock. Though not many people would catch STDs or get pregnant without participating in the sexual process, not many people would die without first living, either. J Instead, let s realize the true values of socially conscious students. Do we want a society of persons who seem oblivious to the events that surround itnem/ THE FAR SIDE Michael Bovkin Unfortunately, some people are unrealistic when it comes to the oldest game in the world. They think sex should only be performed by two consenting married adults of different sexes for the purpose of producing children. Maybe itshould, but individuals will invariably decide their own morals and ways of life. If students were not questioning the decisions that affect them, then the university would be essentially dysfunctional. The events on campus this semester have been reminiscent of the 1960s protests. This new-found awareness and social consciousness has indeed been refreshing. For a time it seemed the only events which would spark interest in students were either alcohol, party or noise-ordinance related. Obviously, this is no longer the i case. . Letl&not-labelThese<9demingly(ihsgnmtled'students Just because our judgment can be weak regarding sexual matters doesn't mean it has to be weak regarding other matters.

EB Sex: condemnation to condom nation By GARY LARSON Most peop'e lamented the environmental cost of these proposed developments. Staff in particular (the majority of whom were bom and raised in this area) spoke in personal terms about the destructive changes they have witnessed in the county. We conclude that development will continue to provoke widespread concern and discontent in the region. While students were well-informed about the proposed Grandfather Mountain development and the student activity center, 50 percent were unaware of the proposed peak generator plant— which arguably poses the greatest widespread environmental hazard of the three. This suggests the need for greater attention by student voters, student organiztions, student government, and "The Appalachian" to local issues off campus. .... . Many students and faculty opposed the student acitivity center ,« part ibecause acitivitv center is they felt they had been excluded from the planning process. Had the administration requested an environmental impact re­ view which assessed social as well as physical impacts, peoples' concerns might have been accomodated without as much conflict. This could have been a means of including the campus community in the planning process and better meeting the needs of students. For example, many students viewed the wooded area and the duckpond as one of the few quiet, peace­ ful, and easily accessible natural areas on campus. This suggests there should be such an area included somewhere in the long-range plan for the campus. We hope that the administration will seek better ways of ensuring that all seg­ ments of the campus community can par­ ticipate in an orderly and timely way in the planning process. Christopher A.

Mclutyer Lynne Gardner Rob Jones Susan Keefe A tip to greeks: Steer clear of beef To the Editor: This letter should be of interest to any ASU student who belongs to any fraternity on campus be it a social, service, or professional organization. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of a business practice which is observed by the Western Steer, located on Highway 321 in Boone. It is standard practice for the restaraunts in the area to include a 15 percent gratuity with the bill of a large party. I have no complaints with this policy as long as adequate service is provided. The previously mentioned Western Steer, however, goes a step further with the "group tipping" policy: an extra five percent is affixed to the bill of fraternities bringing the total amount of the gratuity to 20 percent. The reason for this appendage is due to the apparant "rowdiness of fraternities." As if this were not enough to ruffle one's feathers, the supplementary five percent is not added to the bill if the fraternity is "accompanied by adults." It is common knowledge that, in North Carolina, the age of maturity is 18. Since most fraternity members at ASU are at least eighteen, I think that it would be safe to assume that most fraternity members are adults. I do not see this tipping policy as equitable; rather it seems to be an excellent example of discrimination through stereotyping. Although it is quite possible that some fraternities (or perhaps groups which resembled fraternities) have been rowdy in the past, it is not a fair or even logical assumption to suspect that all fratemities are boisterous. I would like to propose that all ASU fraternities boycott the Western Steer on Highway 321 until the establishment abandons its "tipping policy." Please call the manager of the Western Steer and voice your feelings on this issue. Methods in Anthropology class Kevin R. Howell Eric Griggs ASU Box 15307 CrwiRp �APPLETREE APTS.

Co-workers, neighbors, and friends took the stand M onday in attempts to explain to jurors that Lee's entire personality and appearance changed after he underwent the operation. A former employer stated, , "He was very unkept, and when he didn' t show up for work one day, I had to fire him." Lee's former fiancee testified that she saw a drastic change in his physical ap pearance. "He became interested in por­ nography and had a terrible fear of insects and never slept much." Whittle, Lee's court appointed attor­ ney, contends that the brain aneurysm was die prevailing factor that provoked Lee to kidnap and murder Jcni Gray, an ASU News Bureau employee. Whittle told jurors on Friday that,"This case is abouta person who totally changed lrom a loving, caring, considerate human being to someone who would commit this tragic murder." In earlier testimony on Friday, a 20year-old ASU student took the stand and told die jury that she had been abducted and railed by Lee on Sept. 29, 1989. The student said Lee had graphicallydescribed to her how he had murdered Gray. The student quoted Lee as saying that Gray "had died a slow and painful death" and that "she was hard to kill." She said Lee had told her he hit Gray in the back of the head several times with a slick and had kicked her in the throat several times. When she still did not die, he stood on her back and strangled her to The student said she was abducted from death with her own sweatshirt and bra. die downtown area of Boone at gunpoint, She said Lee had held a gun to her head taken to a rural area near Jake's Mountain, and demanded that she tell him that she and raped by Lee. She said she cooperated loved him. The student stated that she did with Lee because she thought he would not know the gun was a BB gun until Lee kill her if she did not cooperate. showed her the handle of the gun. The student said she escaped from Lee when they were leaving the Jake's Moun­ tain area and stopped at a convenience store on N.C. Highway 421 where Leeex­ ited the car. The student said her hands were tied with a blue bandana, and when another car pulled up beside Lee's car, she waited for the driver to go inside the store and then hid in the other car. When the man exited the store, she asked him to get help. John Stubbs, a special agent from the State Bureau of Investigation, stated that Gray s body had been found with her s weatshirt and bra twis ted around her neck and that the ASU student had been instru­ mental in helping authorities find Gray's body. Later Friday, after the jury was excused from the courtroom, Lee pled guilty to the rape of the student. In all, he pled guilty to three counts of first-degree sex offense, first-degree rape, kidnapping and com­ mon-law robbery. Lee has already pledguilty to thecharges of first-degree kidnapping and first-de­ gree murder in the Jeni Gray case. The jury will decide whether Lee will receive life imprisonment or the death penalty. Berry speaks out on environmental issues By BETH RIDGILL Appalachian Staff Writer Environmentalist Dr. Thomas Berry spoke to a crowded Farthing Auditorium last Thursday night about the role humans play in the environment. Berry's presen­ tation coincided with the national Earth week celebration taking place across the nation. BerTy addressed the audience with this question: Where are we in relation to man's progress and the ecology? "We are changing the earth on a scale of hundreds of millions, even billions of years, in a few decades,"Berry said. He added that10,000 species of life systems arc being extin­ guished each year. "Humans arechanging the chemistry of the planet for the first time," Berry said. He also said he believes using pesti­ cides and herbicides is not showing an understanding of how life and the earth succeed together. "Science and technol­ ogy should be a way of attuning humans to processes of thcplanet, and not destroying and not trying to leach us that we can conquer," Berry said. Berry cited several waysof cleaning the earth—recycling, diminishing waste that is created, and stopping pollution. "You cannot believe we can continue the gasdriven automobile, chemical agriculture, and power plants," he said. "To continue this way, to think we can mitigate it, to make it valuable someway is a terrible, terrible illusion." According to BeiTy, Earth Day was observed by 110 countries this year who "We are changing the earth on a scale of hundreds of millions, even billions of years, in a few decades."

Due to a change in school policy, stu­ dents within 15 hours of graduating will be able to walk, although they will not receive their diplomas until completion of graduation requirements. The decision was made earlier this College Arts & Sciences Business Education Fine & Applied Arts Graduate School School of Music ROTC Commissioning Ceremony semester by Chancellor John Thomas upon recommendation of the Dean's Council. Thecouncil, whichconsistsof thedeans of each of the colleges in the university, began studying the idea in response to students requests. Senior Jay HellingeT said, "It really comes down to a matter of convenience. It's notconvenient to come back and walk in December when you only have a couple of hours left and can finish them in sum­ mer school." This is the first year that students have been able to walk in May if they have nol completed the necessary hours needed tc graduate. According to Associate Vice Chancel lor for Student Development, Bar bar: Daye, at one time ASU had a summei school graduation before the start of the fall semester.

Cavazos reportfjly convinced Bush, also from Texas, to speak. The secretary later decided that'he would like to attend as well. Kingsville has formed two commitIjcs—°nc to promote the university and jnothci to promote the city—to prepare [oi the president's visit. "It's very exciting, not just for the lpus, but also for the community. We _J he putting our best foot forward," Texas A&I Assistant Director of Public Affairs, Mary Sherwood said. While it may be a great publicity event for the area, students friends and families pay be left out in the cold. For security easons, the ceremony most likely will be teld in a gym that seatsonly 4,000people. - While only 300 students are graduating, I jtewspeople and other observers are exM peeled to crowd out most of the graduates' I families and other students who might like attend. "It's very likely that some people who want to attend won't be able to," Sherrood said. Last year's graduation at Boston Uni­ versity, which featured Bush and French "resident Francois Metterrand, has more ofthe atmosphere that surrounds the Super Bowl rather than an academic event. Because of the huge crowds expected about 30,000 attended—each senior was allotted four tickets.Some students scalped their tickets for as much as $100. Florida State University students filed a suit against FSU April 2 to jrevent the same thing from happening there. Even though there is no "big name" speakersigned for theceremony, the3,500 | teniors will receive four guest tickets each, nd some are scalping there free tickets or $60. "A public institution of higher learning hould not be allowed to create a black narkct for resale of tickets for admission |D a public meeting held ostensibly for the ;lass-action purpose of honoring its new graduates,' e suit said, which was filed in LeoCounty Circuit Court by seven students It s for safety purposes only," Susan Sheppard of FSU's ticket committee said. Last spring there were about4,000people sitting in the aisles, and there would have been not way to get out in case of an emergency." Wesleyan University, on theother hand, holds its ceremonies on a big grassy field, and anybody who wants to attend may. his year, Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be the featured speaker. "I don't get a sense that it is a competi­ tion, said William Holder, who was part of the committee to bring Tutu to Wesleyan. Each university wants to get somebody who can make the event memo­ rable and meaningful." A&I sees benefits in attracting atten­ tion to the university. "We certainly hope this will attract potential students," Sher­ wood said.

I'm quitting school." So far, I have not given the university my notice, but The talent man at Capitalist Records listened to my tape and then smugly looked at me and said: You know, all this sex, drugs and rock'n'roll stuff could make us both millionaires, but I have had news for you. I won't sign you." As with bad dates, I asked why, and he said: First off, you don't have the proper hair. There's arule in the building— all hair must go below the shoulders. Second, using fake Italian performing fames is a thing of the past. We like guys with German or Swedish names. Thirdly, we're not f to the whole thunder-metal-thrust thing here at Capitalist.

Appalachian Staff Writer Well, the end of the semester is about here. All the students are done with registration, and with that comes a very typical spring rituaL.the chang­ ing of the major. Thousands of students are in the midst of asking serious questions to themselves such as, "Do I really want to teach little spastic rugrats who care more about monkey bars than math?" or "How much richer can I get if I switch to leisure studies?" this time I've found a good reason to quit. I'm going to be a rock'n'roll megastar. In all honesty, I've been writing songs over the last few years. Most of them are sorry attempts at drunken countrybumpkin sadness. One example of this is asong that will not make my debut al­ bum called "I'm the Surfer of Heartbreak Riding the Bad Wave of Love." It goes like this "I met a sweet baby on a Myrtle vacation, a five-foot-five bleach blonde sensation, I told her she was the hottest lookin' babe in the nation. Her boyfriend walked up and said 'I agree, so get lost before you're history.' I swear Cupid has something against me." Don't wait for these lyrics to be played on radio anytime soon. I have a little respect for the family name, and recording something such as that gives me as much of a chance to stay in the family as Muggsy Bogues has the ability to slamdunk. Now, just as important as getting together a song is getting together a proper rock image. Sometimes that means changing your name to something the kids will really dig. Think about it. Nobody in their right mind would name their sons Axl or Ntkki. Shawn O'Neal does not have a rebellious tone to it. I needed a name with power and electricity. Just the mention of my name would make mothers lock their daughters in clos­ ets. In the midst of spring break late-night pizza munching and air-guitaring to Motorhcad, I got a name in my head that will find its way on the cover of Rolling Stone": Dante Inferno. Since I finally had a stage name, I took my •mage and some demo tapes to all the record company offices in Charlotte. Songs on the tape 'ike 'I Slept with Your Woman and You're the Father," "A Sober Day Is a Sad Day" and "My High School Principal Sells Me Dope" were bound 10 get me a huge recording contract with a clause •hat states I have to be given a lifetime supply of Peanut butter cups. Landing a job in the field of business these days takes more than just good grades. Employers are seeking graduates with a well-rounded combina­ tion of activities, work experience and academics. Some students are leaping ahead of the pack with entrepreneurship (Management 4070), a class in which they gain valuable real world experience. In thisclass, entrepreneurship really means business. ness major, but most students are management, marketing or accounting majors. The final grade for the class is based on a project that involves the class forming a company and producing a product. The students also control design, marketing, finance and accounting proce­ dures for the project. Oral presentations, a written proposal and personal evaluation combine to decide the grade each student receives, but the majority of the gradecomes from whether the project sales are successful or not. By WILLIAM PURCELL The staff division is responsible for the legal aspects of the business, such as securing copy­ rights, trademarks or patents. At the beginning of the semester students had to decide on what kind of product to make. Several options were discussed such as T-shirts, party survival kits, posters and board games. The prod­ uct has to be inexpensive, marketable to both students and local residents, and it had to be produced in one semester. The decision was made to produce a poster. The poster contains areas of interest in the high country. Grandfather Mountain, Tweetsie, The Mast General Store, Price Park, local ski slopes and ASU are all featured on the poster.The 38x25 inch poster is designed on a colorful cartoon style. The production is limited to 2,000 copies. The students of the entrepreneurship class will sell the posters to local retail businesses as well as to ASU students. Posters will be sold at the student union, the cafeteria and various other locations around campus. The cost is $5, and the selling starts Friday, April 27, and continues until May 20. Entrepreneurship(MGT4070) is a uniqueclass that offers real experience for students looking for an edge in the business world. Student Vince Amico said: "This class has been one of the most valuable classes I've taken in the College of Busi­ ness. I would recommend it to anyone." If you mean business about your future, then you should take a look at the advantages of entrepreneurship.

"Junk food"does not replace the nutrients that stress often takes away. So an exam period meal plan of pizza, soda and Twinkies will only aggravate one's stress level. It's better to stick with the four basic food groups. Stress can also affect people mentally. This is illustrated through feelings of frustration and anger, an inability to laugh and never being able to relax or feel at ease. As a result, "Stressed-out" indi­ viduals constantly move from one project to an­ other, try to do many things at once and are always hurrying to get tasks completed. "The College Student's Health Guide," by San­ dra and Christopher Smith, shows that academic stress isoften the mostoverwhelming for students. Picking a major and/or career, improving weak academic skills.and test anxiety may cause many to become unmotivated, nervous and tense. However, anxiety is not the same thing as stress. Both bring about the same reactions, but anxiety is more of a "general feeling of apprehension or impending doom,"according to theSmiths' guide. For anxiety, the guide says, "The crucial aspect is not the actual threat but how (one perceives) the threat." If a person generally gets nervous about While alcohol and drugs seem like quick and easy ways to handle stress, they actually cause most people to feel more negative and less confi­ dent about themselves. Taking a brisk walk and taking some personal time are much more effec­ tive ways to alleviate tension and anxiousness. Stress management is essential, especially this time of year. The Counseling Center offers stress management sessions for those who are inter­ ested. One of the best ways to fight stress, though, is just staying in tune with oneself. Stay with the routine, and take things one step at a time. Editor's note: Information for the article is cour­ tesy of Leslie Eslick of the Wellness Center.

April 24.1990 ASU baseball team is fourth in SC By ROGER WATSON second in slugging percentage, and he leads the conference in triples, with four. Appalachian SUIT Writer The Southern Conference baseball season is about to come to a close. Only one more weekend of conference play remains for most teams, and Appalachian State has completed conference play and only has one more game to go against King and Lenoir-Rhyne at Granite Falls. Then the Southern Conference Tournament in Charleston S.C. As of April 17, lite conference standings had the Mountaineers in fourth piace. The Citadel ison top with an 11-1 record. Their only loss was to East Tennessee State.The Bulldogs also have an excel­ lent overall record of 31-8. Early in the season, they broke into the top 25 b > -ball poll. The Citadel would have to be considered as a strong favorite in the tournament because they are strong in almost every facet of the game. They lead the conference in team pitching with a 3.93 ERA The second place team, Furman, has an ERA of 4.36. Ken Britt is the leading pitcher for The Citadel with an amazing 1.83 ERA. Robert Shirer of the Bulldogs is the second best pitcher in the conference with a 2.36 ERA. Johnny Meadows of ASU is in eighth place with an ERA of 3.78. The Bulldogs also excel at the plate. The team is third in the conference with a .298 average. ASU is right behind The Citadel with a .283 average. Anthony Jenkins of The Citadel is second in the conference with a .437 batting average. He is first in runs batted in with 50, third in runs scored, Interested in writing sports for The Appa­ lachian? Call Jeff or Kurt at 262- 6233. Thank you to the 1990 production staff of The Appala­ chian. The Citadel is also second in team fielding. 1 hey haveonly committed 75errors allseason and have a .949 fielding percentage. They lead the conference in double plays with a total of 42. Fielding is the Mountaineers strong point, lead­ ing the conference with only 50 errors and a .953 fielding percentage. The Marshall Thundering Herd is second in the conference with Western Carolina third and the Mountaineers behind them with a 6-9 conference record. The bottom half of the conference is filled out by Virginia Military in Fifth, Furman in sixth, and East Tennessee State is in the cellar, eight games behind the leader. With the way the conference isaligned, Marshall will play East Tennessee State at 11 a.m. on the 26th. Marshall will play Furman at 3p.m. and Ap­ palachian State will take on Virginia Military in the 7 p.m. game. The tournament will be double elimination, so every team will play at least two games. Scott Waugh of ASU has been on a tear recently and has been named the Southern Conference player of the week. He batted an amazing .529 and extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Waugh is the first ASU player to be named player of the week since Johnny McCraw was honored the week of March 25. /y*-; -CRA — ' IsSfiSPT >sf: HP * HKH , SS#5jg I ' £fjg| - Johnny Meadows was nominated for Southern Conference pitcher of the week, but the title was awarded to Jason Schafer of Marshall.

Just do it" offers substance rather than void. It tells us what we tell ourselves. It is not limited to sports as a replacement for drugs; that is only the initial message. It burrows deeper into our subconscious, subliminally in­ fluencing our everyday decisions. One negates. The other affirms. Negates what? Af­ firms what? Specifically, "just say no" attempts to nullify drug abuse in our much-plagued society. It is the slogan for a noble cause. As specifically, "just do it" attempts to affirm athleti­ cism in our somewhat unhealthy society. Drugs are only one of our ailments. Faculty Senate enjoys examination Michael Bovkin These people cannot hope to escape through the tradi­ tional means. If they escape at all, it is through the bottle, the pill, the "rock" or the needle. Both use graphic images—one negative, one positive—to enforce the message. recent years. Misgoverning body has set an ambitious precedent of tackling the real issues on campus by either investigations or resolutions. Further, this organization hasshown a willingness toat leastconsiderevery issue that is brought to his attention. Examples of this willingness arc reflected in their meetings this year. For instance, issuesconcerning the treat­ ment ol former Fnglish lecturer Alex Batman, the resignation of Aits and Sciences Dean William Byrd, and the reason ROTC faculty have reserved parking spaces have all been sent to committees for further consideration. It is encouraging to note that this organization will not automatically discount an idea or suggestion. Faculty Senate committees regularly deal with the concerns of university personnel outside of the senate. This is a pnmc example of how a representative committee should treat its constitu­ ency. I can envision Nancy and Company formulating their motivational strategy for drug deterrence. Both have massive bankrolls behind them to ensure their recognition. Most people recognize them easily. However, take away the images and the money and what do you have? One negative and one positive bit of advice. Appalachian's Faculty Senate should be commended for their efforts in Setting: a plush conference room tucked neatly away within the White House or an exclusive resort in a semitropical villa (not to be confused with a tropical village). Ironically, the altruistic of the two slogans, "just say no," is ultimately negative. It suggest*—no, demands— that we do nothing but say no. There is more to life than just saying no. It is easy for some well-meaning but aloof committee to formulate a slogan discouraging vice and destruction. As a matter of fact, whoever thought up the slogan, whether it was Nancy Reagan or someone else, summed up how not to do drugs, how not to self-destruct. Unfortunately, it also sums up how not to do anything. It does not mean to, but it fails to give people an alterna­ tive to drugs. The most important thing which needs to be considered after a command to give up something—in this case, drugs—is what is going to be given in that something's place. Middle- and upper-class people do not have to worry about alternatives to doing drugs. They have the money and status to enjoy everything traditional America has to Several years ago, the Faculty Senate participated in an investigation of the ummer Internship controversy and the related academic abuses of several administrators. This is an organization that sets its agenda on important issues, regardless of how they might be viewed by the university's adminisration. offer. They car joinclubs and organizations, and they can escape from their less-than-dreary environment and travel to exotic and trendy vacation spots. Some people may view this organization's members as troublemakers or ble-rousers, but theway in which thisorganization examines the university's licies can only have a positive effect on campus. The organization has good intentions and seems motivated by one common goal: the betterment of ASU. Mo^l drug abuscrs/addicts are lower class people who have no resources to lead a comfortable existence, much less an exotic one. They must cope with money shortages and environmental deficiencies every day. Such struggle is enough to turn the strongest person into a drug abuser. No one can long resist negative temptation without positive alternatives. When a kid refuses drugs, he/she must be able to accept a healthy alternative. Just doing what is common sensical is healthy—as long as the impetus is there. N:"Let's think.There has to be asimple solution to this drug thing." C:"How about something like 'Drugs are so com­ mon." N:"I like it, but we need to reach the commoners. We don't want to turn them off. Let's make it something that even die illiterate can remember." C:"How about 'Drugs are a no-no.'" N:"I like its negative quality, but it's a bit long." C:"How about "Just say no." N:"l love it! Buffy, how do you come up with them? It's explicit! It's commanding! We'll cut off the problem before it starts. Do you like these drapes? I've been thinking of changing them...." Ironically, the financially motivated Nike shoe slogan just do it fits in nicely behind "just say no." It offers existence other than sitting passively saying no. It says just do your homework. It says just clean up behind yourself. It says just gel along with others. It says just do what is in your heart Because you know it is right. Just say no? Why? Just say yes—to the positive qualities in you and ev­ eryone else. Unfortunately, even such an effective, well-meaning phrase as 'Just do it" cannot cure the problems which cause people to do drugs. People with nothing to look forward to besides the next"fix" cannot cure themselves. They can be seen as a disease of our society, but only because our society has failed to nourish all of its parts. In order to have a healthy society, there must be alter­ natives to drug abuse. The government should be ap­ plauded for trying to rid citizens of their banes of drug abuse and addiction. Citizens should suggest—no, demand—that the government provide healthy alterna­ tives to ensure the death of drugs, not victims of drugs and America's class system. What arc the alternatives? The one most touted is education. This education has been aimed at teaching children the negative effectsof drugs. We must also teach our children how to become productive members of society. Though some drug dealers might try using the phrase After this, the people in power must give the fringe to encourage drug use, anyone familiar with the phrase— members of our society the opportunity to succeed. By almost every kid in America—would know that drug use accepting these people and tolerating their diversity is not in the spirit of tlic message Can you imagine and by getting rid of elitist phrases such as "zero tolerassociating Michael Jordan with drug use? ance —wc can get rid of our drug problems and maybe "Just do it" makes sense when viewed in its intended positive light. Even without the powerful images of star athletes to reinforce it, the phrase beckons to the common sense in all of us. >me things m the bargain The only way to cure the ills which beset our society is to offer medication and therapy, not amputation.

(Winston Churchill, House of Commons Speech 1948) I would rather see a coliseum constructed in an environment of irresistible popular demand rather than amidst the fever of so much dissention. If a thing is good and meant to be, then it will show itself more necessary in time. Save study area and Grandfather's face To the Editor: If my reading of recent news reports is correct regarding environmental issues, there appears to be an opportunity to solve several issues at once. Appalachian State University leaders have expressed the desire to obtain an environmental studies area within 20 minutes driving time of campus to replace the one to be destroyed by the new stu­ dents activities center and adjacent park­ ing areas. Environmental groups would like to preserve the area for sale on the flanks of Grandfather Mountain. Mr. Hugh Morton has the area in question for sale and would like to be known as an environ­ mentalist. If Mr. Morton and his ownership part­ ner would donate the land tothe university and take the large tax writeoff that goes with such a donation, several things could be accomplished. ASU would have aprime environmental studies area. The environ­ mentalists would be happy. And Mr. Mor­ ton would have his carefully cultivated image as an environmentalist confirmed. What could be better? Dr. Roland F. Moy Professor of Political Science "If man had originally inhabited a world as blankly uniform as a high rise housing development, as featureless as a parking lot, as destitute of life as an automated factory, it is doubtful that he would have had a sufficiently varied experience to retain images, mold languages, or acquire ideas." (Lewis Mumford, The Myth of the Machine) I think, especially to students, it is of inestimable value to have an accessible "section of wilderness" nearby— primarily by the power of knowing that it is there. This knowledge acts as a very basic comfort in tin; same way that faith allays fear, allowing life to proceed in love and responsibility. Vast, open spaces left public exist as powerful symbols to our collective will to freedom. Answers to the continually chaotic upsurge of problems in the world will be offered by our most mature youth. The growing complexity in the nature of our problems as a society (atypical and virtually impossible to categorize and meet with patented solutions) makes it essential that these problems be met subjectively with full consciousness. To foster the growth of people who will be able to so heroically act in the face of such violent change, we need to lay less emphasis on rote learning of facts and figures (which often can become obsolete sooner than we can print them) and greater emphasis on sustaining and nurturing the conditions which allow the development of their very selves. At times, students can need a place foT peaceful solitude, away from a roommate, to sustain a sense of divinity and distinguish influences foreign to the self in purity of heart. As a university, we cannot directly "give" them their selves, as a diploma. Wc cannot teach them about their selves. We do not know them. Dionysius, an early Christian mystic, endowed with love the stark discovery of Socrates that in relation to knowledge he knew nothing. Dionysius said "Not knowing is the most intimate," alluding to our most honest state of innocent questioning, a consciousness which precludes all use of coercion. Shakespeare, with "to thine ownself be true, then it follows as surely as the night follows the day, they cannot be false to any man," seems to ascribe a significant practical value to becoming aware of one's self. Following, Carl Jung has said that our only sin is in remaining unconscious (which implies that we would all be our hearts in accord if but we fully understood ourselves and each other.) Christ left no allowance for selfish rationalization: "Love your enemies." These principles presuppose a faith in the value of diverse opinions. I don't believe we need a coliseum as much as we need primarily to be considerate enough toward each other to at least allow the student government to vote again—and have the satisfaction of feeling that they fully understand the IT STARTED IN FLORIDA WW SCHOOL IQDS UOON6 WONOUS TOADS R* MK HALLUCINOGENIC SECRETIONS* pt mym issue and have had effective expression. "Love is patient and kind." Why can't we try to implement this in political issues? Or, why must critical issues ever become political issues (of the nature of the friend/enemy disjunction, where favoritism and bias hold sway over the logic and equity of love?) If the spirit is right, I would prefer a rain-soaked graduation ceremony out in an open field to a stuffy auditorium with anything less than the spirit of a Godlyblessed sense of unity within the body of the school and its administration. In the abstract, I believe a coliseum can be good, representing a spirit of celebration around a common interest. However, we don't live in the abstract. Our world is created of living beings to which we are all subject Accordingly, it can be abusive and immoral to view our spaces as only an objective field in which we may define our desires on a sudden urge. We are meant to be more than this. Having steamshovels and available funds doesn't need to imply that we be any less thoughtful than if we had only handshovels.

Lamm also ruled that testimony from an ASU student who was allegedly kidnap­ ped and raped by Lee would not be further limited. Lamm has ruled, however, that the student's testimony would be con­ fined to those events directly related to the Gray murder. According to the student, who is the prosecution's key witness in the trial, she was abducted by Lee while jogging in Boone. Following her escape from Lee on Sept. 29. the student told police that Lee <w. .. described Gray's murder and offered to show her the body. Lee is charged with kidnapping, rape, robbery and four counts of first-degree sex offense in relation to the student's abduction. Defense attorneys argued yesterday that the student's testimony should not be admissible because the two cases are separate. However, District Attorney Tom Rusher, prosecutor in the case, told the jury that the two cases are linked and that Lee was motivated in both cases by his desire to have sexual relations with an ASU student. According to reports. Lamm refused to accept Lee s plea of guilty to all charges in relation to the student until a later date. . Jury selection in the murder trial began Gray's body was found by police in a Monday after Lee responded to Rusher's remote area off Jake's Mountain Road question of what he would plea to the with her sweat shin tied around her nak. murder charge by saying only one word, Police also found a stick lying nearby the "guilty."

"We see so much damage all around us," said University of Cincinnati student Brenda Johnston. "People get tired of waiting for politicians and companies to take the initiative to do what should be done." m f' tv AppMcruan enow oj iny im«s Earth Week 1990 activities IFC joins Chamber of Commerce Appalachian SUIT Writer According to Chamber Director of Membership Development Karen Mel­ ton, IFC's acceptance carries with it an annual fee of $100 for membership. Melton also said any citizen interested in helping develop the area is eligible for membership in the chamber. Melton explained that the goal of the Chamber of Commerce is to generate more money for the community and to improve the economic welfare of everyone in the area. She also said the chamber works to create an alternative and prosperous busi­ ness climate for new businesses. "We'rejust trying tohelp out, "McPher­ son said and added that joining the Cham­ ber of Commerce would allow IFC to keep up with current events in the Boone community. McPherson said the $100 fee would be of ASU's Interfraternity 'e become the university's first collectively paid for by each fraternity ,n to join the Boone AreaCham- chapter oncampus.

"The Exxon spill probably helped re­ new environmental issues, but environ­ mentalists also see more possibility for activity because President Bush is taking the issue more seriously than Reagan ever did." A* A 1 By MARLA MASSEY (CPS)—Building on aycarof increased l!^B,Ulldmf0"ayC*rOfinCreaSed environmental activismm onn campuses, C a m p U S C S i Z Z l T V 7 1 S ° students and national organizers arc gear­ are pearing up for what's being billed as the envi­ ronmental event of the decade—the 20th anniversary of Earth Day. Organizers say they expect some 2,000 campuses to participate, and they're hop­ ing that collegians will provide the back­ bone for the April 22 event. "The environment is a hot issue," said Owen Byrd, national student coordinator of the group Earth Day 1990. headquar­ tered In Palo Alto, Calif. "Students have a pretty sophisticated understanding that the environment touches on all other issues." A 1989 national survey of college fresh­ men conducted by the University of Cali­ fornia at Los Angeles found that 26.1 percent—the highest percentage in the 24 years of conducting the survey—believed that getting involved in programs that clean up the environment is "very impor­ tant." cnli "This is going to start a chain reaction," promised J. Burger, a University of Ne­ braska-Lincoln student and member of Ecology Now. "We're trying to get pre­ pared for new (members)." The original Earth Day was planned for much the same reasons 20 years ago. "For 10 years I was trying to figure out some sort of device to get the environment in to the political arena, recalled origina­ tor Gaylord Nelson. "Politicians weren't paying attention to the issue, and I thought that it was important." "I was reading an article about an antiVietnam teach-in, and the idea popped in tomy head to hold anenvironment teachin,"said Nelson, then a U.S. senator from Wisconsin who now works with the Wil­ derness Society in Washington. D.C. The teach-in proved successful. For the decade following, environmentalists won sevcral smal1 battles- when sevcral small battles, when federal law federal lawmakersS Sstartedd , thec EEnvironmentall Protec­c m a k C T t a r t e h n v i r o n m e n t a P r o t e tinr. a /en a \ . tion Agency (EPA) and passed the Clean W atcr Act and the Endangered Species Act. But during the Reagan years, environ­ mental progress suffered greatly. Nelson said. A slick promotional campaign ha. helped put the environment back on cen­ ter stage. Sponsorships for thisyear's Earth Day ranged from $10,000 for a parade banner to $250,000 for a concert in New York's Central Park, compared to a total $190,000 budget in 1970. Of the few corporations who have of­ fered their sponsorship, many have been turned away because of a policy against accepting money from chemical, oil or timber companies. Even Exxon, the com­ pany behind the biggest oil spill in history, in which 11 million gallons of crude oil spilled into the waters surround Alaska last March, wanted to sponsor Earth Day. Some of the sponsors who have been accepted include Coca Cola, Esprit and Church & Dwight, maker of Arm and Hammer baking soda. "I'm curious by the fact that so much attention is being given to Earth Day this year compared to past years," George Washington's Gillette said. "I think when you have an anniversary it draws more attention." Collegians maintain the Exxon oil spill, deforestation and the threat of global warming, not a successful marketing campaign, have led them to become envi­ ronmentally active. "The activism is a function of the ur­ gency of the crisis," says Earth Day's Byrd. But American University Professor Gary Weaver says it's premature to call theenvironment movement"activism with a capital A." "At this point it's not the kind of activ­ ism we've seen in the past. It's nothing like the 60s because peoplearen't sacrific­ ing for the cause," he said. Full-fledged political cause or not, stu­ dents have already started environmental activities. Last October, students from more than 250 campuses gathered at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill to pro­ mote anational environmental movement. Environmental activism has surfaced at individual campuses, too. At the State University of New York at Buffalo and the universities of Colorado at Boulder and North Carolina at Wilming­ ton, for instance, students have campaigned to get food services to stop serving tuna because dolphins often get tangle into tangled 8 thee tunaa netss andd die. t h t u n n e t a n d i e ~ .. Collegians from California State Uni versity in Sacramento, Central College in Iowa and Brown University in Rhode Is­ land. to name a few, have forced their schools tostop using cups and plates made of polystyrene. The substances release chlorofluorocarbons which, in turn, de­ plete the ozone layer. Students in Lincoln. Neb. climbed trees to keep them from being cut down during the fust week of March. At least 18 were arrested in a three-day protest. For Earth Day, campus activists say they're taking it further. At the University of Cincinnati, a numberof attention-grab­ bing activities have been planned. For example, a graveyard for extinct species will be set up on the Quad, a hightraffic area on campus. Everyday at noon for a week the Grim Reaper will add tombstones with the names of animals that have become extinct. On another day, students will come to campus dressed up as their favorite plant or animal. And for those who want to symboli­ cally go back to the earth, a Mud Fcst—a celebration of renewal—will be held. Participants will be "baptized" by being immersed in a pit of mud. While the University of Nevada at Las Vegas administration is teaming up with the EPA to put on Earth Day activities, some students look it upon themselves to organize additional programs. "The EPA and the university will cosponsor a bunch of booths and people can picnic while politicians plant a couple of trees. That's not enough." said UNLV student Rob Rosenthal. The campus radio station, KUNV, where Rosenthal works, is sponsoring other events such as nature walks with biology professors who will talk about the Nevada watersupply, among other things. Students involved remain optimistic that once the hoopla of Earth Day has ended, people willcontinue tobe concerned about the state of the environment. 'This is a seed for change. It's not just an event," said Julie Blackburn, an Earth Day organizer at the University of Ken­ tucky. "One of the purposes is to continue (our work). We already have things planned for June and July." "Earth Day is beneficial, butit shouldn't be limited to just one day a year," Rosen­ thal concluded. "It's a matter of lifestyle choices. There's a big difference between sitting in a park and listening to a speech and making changes in your life." Greek housing discussions continue By DAVID S. GRIFFIN Appalachian Staff Wrltar Both the Interfraternity Council and university officials say they are hopeful of establishing greek housing in the future. According to IFC President John McPherson, funding for greek housing could come from three sources: student fees, private investors, or various national fraternity officials. "While the financial help of the student body would be ideal, it seems that our nationals or private investors will be the most likely investors," McPherson said. An outside investor has already met with the IFC to discuss funding of housmg, according to McPherson. "While the Interfraternity Council did not totally approve of the investor's pro­ posal. I feel that it has opened the door for greek housing." McPherson said. Associate Director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, Dino DiBernardi. said that greek housing is part of the university's long range plans, but added that no timetable for construction has been established. "I think greek housing would be an asset to the collegiate environment," DiBernardi said. McPherson added, "While no one can predict a timetable for greek housing, m my four years at this university, -hese are the most positive steps taken." McPherson also praised the role of Chancellor John Thomas in the greek housing discussions. He said. Dr. Thomas' participatio and commitment to this issue have show his concern for students and expediate the process" McPherson said he will meet wit Thomas, University Attorney Dayton Col and Long Range Planner Dr. Judith Pulle later this month to discuss the future c gTeek housing.

If you never thought the cello made music for romance, meet Sara Sant'Ambrogio By ROSS MECHAM Special to The Appalachian World-renowned cellist Sara Sant' Am­ brogio will perform on the ASU campus at the Rosen Concert Hall in Broyhill Music Center. Her performance will be Tues­ day, April 24 at 8 p.m. The event is sponsored by the Performing Arts Se­ ries—a division of the Office of Cultural Affairs. SiMlAt&brogio achieved international recognitionin 1986 at the age of 23 when she won the top American prize, the bronze medal at the Eighth International Tchaikovsky Violoncello Competition in the Soviet Union. Sara Sant' Ambrogio S ant' Ambrogio has won numerous hon­ ors in addition to her triumph at the Tchaikovsky Competition. In 1989 she was chosen to be listed in "Who's Who In Music," and in 1988 she was invited to join the roster of Affiliate Artists. She won the 1985 Palm Beach Invitational International String Competition, the 1984 G.B. Dealey Awards and the 1983 Artists International Cello Award. Sant' Am­ brogio was awarded the silver medal at the She was appeared as a soloist with many orchestras, including the Boston Pops and die St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. She is an active chamber music performer, having collaborated with such artists as Rudolph Serkin, Salvatore Accardo, Al­ exander Schneider, Yo Yo Ma and Lynn Harrell. She is a member of the Eroica Trio. Sant Ambrogio has performed many recitals throughout the world and has "I am trying to expand the audience for cello. We're just as exciting and interesting as rock musicians, but a barrier has been built that has separated classical music from the rest of popular music." Bom in Boston, Sant' Ambrogio first began studying the cello with her father, John Sant' Ambrogio, who is currently principal cellist of the St. Louis Sym­ phony Orchestra. At age 16, she was accepted at the Curtis Institute of Music, 1983 Mae M. Whitaker International where she studied with David Soyer and Suing Competition and was then featured Felix Galimir. She was later awarded a in the PBS documentary "A Performer's scholarship to study with Leonard Rose at Diary as a result of her magnetic per­ Julliard. A month after her arrival she formance. won the Schumann Cello Concerto Com­ petition, resulting in her appearance as Thrown into this whirlwind of success, soloist at Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Sant' Ambrogio was called upon to per­ Center. form in concert halls around the world. Sara Sant'Ambrogio Cellist appeared at many of the major music festivals, including the Marlboro Music Festival, the Seattle Music Festival and the Settimane Musicali Internationale in Italy. She has toured throughout the United States and Europe with "Music from Marlboro"and performed at the 25th Marlboro Anniversary Concert at Town Hall in New York City. Despite her busy schedule, she still continues to give cello lessons—"to keep my hands in the teaching process," she says. But a cello is not an electric guitar, and the market for the "sensual" and "sonorous" sounds that have captured Sant' Ambrogio since childhood is not large. She is determined to change the stuffy image of the instrument. "I am trying to expand the audience for cello," Sant' Ambrogio says. "We're just as exciting and interesting as rock musicians, but a barrier has been built that has sepa­ rated classical music from the rest of popular music." The "Palm Beach Daily News" has described one of her performances as, "one of the loveliest and most musical recitals heard here in a very long time....She plays with a rare interpretive sincerity that goes straight to the heart....Her tone is unwaveringly beautiful, most especially when the musical line calls for the inten­ sity and Adynamic extremes that so often coarsen the tone—Her cello sang with phrases so beautifully expressed that they seemed to be actually speaking. Tickets are S2 for students and S4 for non-students and may be purchased form 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday at the Far­ thing Auditorium box office. Scottish rockers del Amitri: the band that should've made it By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian El Cetera Editor Pity the poor Scottish band del Amitri. They could be called "the little band that should have "adeit big." Tte four lads from Glasgow released a critiand self-titled release in the sutnncr of 1985, which received little attention for a select few college stations that gave f'bum limited airplay. c%acclaimed ,eunc^cserved neglect continued into 1986, as fud toured America to the delight of critics btir small corps of fans. Playing incredible s was not enough in the eyes of their label, r^salis, so they were dropped by the record t« company and presumably doomed to the Glasgow club scene. In addition, the rhythm guitarist left, so the band was not only in search of a new record deal, but they also needed another band member. Good things started happening for "the Dels" in 1988. The band returned to a four-p;ece, led by bassist/singer/songwriter Justin Currie, with the rest of the band consisting of Iain Harvie on guitar, new rhythm guitarist Michael Shanley and Paul Tyagi on drums. The best event for the band was a return to a record label, when A&M Records signed the band in its efforts to comer the market on Scottish releases. (Other Scotland groups signed to A&M include Simple Minds, the Blue Nile and rock upstarts Gun.) So here it is, 1990, and the efforts of del Amitri culminate into one of the finer pop releases of the young year, their second album titled "Waking Hours." The opening track. "Kiss This Thing Goodbye" is still one of the most often played songs at college stations all across the country, WASU included. The steady pop hook mixes well with the lyrics about a love that is doomed to futility. ("I tell myself that I'm going through the motions for the last time tonight.") Love and its chances of failure have the lyrical spotlight on mostof the album. The other lover is portrayed as a boring person who only wants to sit and wonder of the joys of love itself instead of joining her mate in discovering the world in Opposite View." The former lover is abolished from thought in "Empty," one of the album's more powerful tracks. ("And we do not lie side by side and mock the thoughts of you/ And I don' t take her hand and ask 'Is this what he used to do?'") The lover is also told that the singer is in control of any possible relationship in the extremely catchy "When I Want You." The album concludes with "Nothing Ever Happens, an A Day in the Life" influenced song which landed in the British Top 15 last month. Life, according to the song, is nothing but endless repetition since "the needle returns to the start of the song and we'll all sing along like before." The bachelors end theday with a trip to the pub just like the day before. The married couples with a lost sense of adventure relax on their couches and watch the slew of talk shows. In conclusion. Currie sings"we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow." It is a shame that the present market for pop music is looking for just a beat. "Waking Hours" has a beat, but you can't dance to it. The songs are catchy, but they're not bubbly. Currie does not sing about loving someone forever, instead he sings about the trouble of loving someone today. Waking Hours" is full of streetwise wisdom that is carefully mixed with instrumentation that sets out to accompany and not conquer. Pop music needs more bands like del Amitri who see creativ­ ity as something that doesn't come easy. Success is and will be theirs, and this album proves the road to success does not necessarily need to have a stoplight in "Sell Soul City." °ESP and psychokinesis raise your hackles or your interest? Come clear up your misunderstandings about psychics next week By BEVERLY NICKLES Appalachian Staff Writer y • the topic of spirituality has been bandied 9utte a bit. Mystics call this era in human ,n the Age of Enlightenment. Sammye "' North Carolina native and psychic, is s°n who has a keen understanding and sl'°n for these words. Sammye is commit­ ting a spirituality that is "pragmatic"— la''ty that works. heuse some magic formula? Well, yes...a rrni'la n a" called unconditional love. Wclltopics of the paranormal, Sammye's springs from a well of love.To audiences s'lc will tell how her sensitivity to clairESP led her to teach spirituality. 1'Ve w''i have the opportunity to speak to the human development and psycho­ anci logical counseling department on April 23 and 24 ' on the topic of how tapping into the intuitive self can assist thecounseling practioner.She will speak as well on other topics such as ESP, attitudes and the collective unconscious as they all relate to counseling. Sammye has also been invited and will appear as a guest on WASU on the morning of Monday the 24th, between 8-10 a.m., offering mini clair­ voyant reading to listeners. In addition, HPC is sponsoring two workshops on April 23 and 24. Monday night's program at 7 p.m., Edwin Duncan Room 03 is entitled "Myths and Truths About Altered States of Conscious­ ness." Sammye will discuss the recent works of Charles Tart and give a demonstration of the trance state. Between teaching classes in North and South Carolina, at Fayetteville Technical Community College and the University of South CarolinaCoastal, Sammye also has her own radio show on WFNC in Fayetteville. For one hour each week Sammye tells listeners how their attitudes create their reality: just one more way of teaching how unconditional love works, just one more way of teaching a pragmatic spirituality. On Tuesday, April 24 students, faculty and staff are invited to bring their own brown bag lunch to the forum room in the student union, from 12-1:30 p.m. Sammye will speak on "Spirituality Ques­ tions and Answers." Sammye lived in Walnut Cove in her child­ hood, where she first became aware thatshe "knew what other peopledidn't know,"but it wasn't until later that she realized what that meant. Psychic since childhood, Sammye has over 25 years of experience in the study of psychic phenomena and over 10 years of experience in teaching. Her message is that trance, ESP.clairvoyancc, clairaudience, psychokinesis, and the other mani­ festations of mental abilities are all normal, natu­ ral and part of life. Most of all, everybody is psychic. In 1982, Sammye developed a program called Creative Life Skills that helps people to influence their lives in a positive way by identifying fears and releasing them to more constructive thought patterns. Creative Life Skills teaches individuals to become their own therapist with the help of a tape recorder; it stresses examination of expectations, likes and dislikes and other topics that reveal pertinent life issues for an individual. She says You create your own reality." Sammye doesn't have palm readings on the side of the road, a swami cloth or a turban, but she is a most distinctive individual. She is a beautiful "crazy white-haired lady,"as she refers to herself. And she gives in the most unique way. She helps people to see how "marvelous" they are. Why9 Because "what we put out is what we get back, and I want my life to be fantastic." One person who knows her says Sammye can tell some very interesting stories. This individual goes on to quote Hugh Prather's introduction to Love is Letting Go of Fear," paralleling Sammye to Jerry Jampolsky the author: "Jerry Jampolsky hves what he teaches. I know that this book comes from the precise center of his heart. I have seen him five every line of it for as long as I've known him. Sammye lives whatshe teaches, and has a good time doing it! �Kayla Dufour Teresa Smith Anita Grant Angelene Hymes Margaret Batten Lenore Hoyt Dianne Wally Pruitt Allen Scott Hoosier Tom Lawlor WEST HAVEN APTS.

It seems like a "first"has been accomplished in most of the major sports happenings within the past |couple of weeks. I won't go into any detailed explanation other than the fact that the nine planets are in alignment or maybe the jus ad bcllum has been rescinded and is no longer a valid appeal. Anyway, the fact of the matter is that several unprecedented acts of great­ ness have occurred, and I don't believe too many people realize the significance of it. True, there have been times when great achieve­ ments have happened, but those were really oncein-a-whilc events. It just seems strange to me that three or four awe-inspiring events have occurred this close together. Now before I discuss these stupendous acts of athleticism, you must prepare yourself and sit down. Warn your roommate that at any moment in the future you will be likely to jump up and down screaming for a chance to be like "the peat ones." Well, here we go.

The race was run v many students, faculty and staff. The winners of the competition were awarded a T-shirt, and their victory could go toward university points. The Spring 1990 Intramural 5-K Road Race was held on Wednesday, April 4. The 3.1-mile course began and ended on the north side of Broome-Kirk Gym. The race had 70 participants, divided into a men s division and women's divi­ sion. W inncrs of both individual and team compe­ tition w ere awarded championship T-shirts, and teams could compete for All University Points. The men s individual race winner was Brian Childers and capturing the women's title was Leigh Cooper. The top five men's team finishers were Globe Trotter, ROTC Stud Club A, ROTC Stud Club and Delta Chi. The Women won the women's team competition. Tim Jennings, special events coordinator and race director, said the race went smoothly this year. "Considering the cold weather, we had a good turnout." Jennings said, "It was nice to see the variety of participants in the race, including the facuity, students and teams." Coming up later this month will be the Intrmura] GolfTournament at the Hanging Rock Golf Course at Seven Devils. The deadline for entering the golf competition is April 23 and there is a Si 0 entry fee. The gold tournament will be held on April 26 at 2:30 p.m. For more information, call Jennings at the Quinn Center (262-3035). Women's Club Soccer The Lady Mountaineers Club Soccer Team participated in the Furman University Invitational outdoor soccer tournament this past Saturday and Sunday. Nine teams from Virginia, North Caro­ lina, South Carolina and Florida participated. The Lady Apps played Presbyterian College in the opening game on Saturday and settled for a 1 1 tie. The only goal for the Lady Apps came on a free kick by Shelley Oberie. The next game for the Lady Apps was against eventual tourney champion Virginia Tech. The Hokies came aw ay with a 9-0 victory in the match. On Sunday, the App booters played two games in the playoff round. Salem College fell to the Lady Apps 5-0, with Oberie. Melissa Gibson (2), Theresa Burcsu and Colleen Aldridge scoring for the Mountaineers. The Lady Apps then faced the University of Florida in the final match of the tournament. After forging a 1-1 tic on a goal by Aldridge, the Lady Mountaineers ran out of gas and fell to the Lady Gators by an 8-1 score. Gibson was named Co-MVP 0f the toumament, along with Kimmie Alcorn of Virginia Tech. "We had no substitutes for the tournament, as we only took 11 players," Mountaineer Coach Bob Goddard said. "The girls played well in most of the games. We either beat or tied the varsity teams we played, and lost to two club teams." "The level of women's soccer has definitely improved over the last couple of years in our area, and the competition is much more intense." Goddard said. I'm looking forward to the fall season and the first Southern Conference Women's SocceT Tournament, involving teams from ASU ETSU, UT-Chattanooga and Furman." �r c \% —-—The Appalachian. Thursday.

So many times, American youth feel the need to identify with a symbol or group. This holds true among black college students and their newly found afrocen­ tricity.

Greek fraternities are a good ex­ ample. For the most part, the black greeks are a lucrative part of the American college experience. However,some­ how pledges have gotten the wrong impression about fraternity life. Earth Day deserves all our support Earth Week is presently being celebrated across the nation. Millions of Americans are being advised this week to pay special attention to our aging planet and how its resources are limited. Volunteers in the Boone area have cleaned up streams in the community, with a larger cleanup effort to be held April 21 to clean up the New River. The community as a whole has embraced new environmental awareness and is steadily on the route to conserving or recycling more of the dispensable resources that our society uses. All the varied forms of media have paid special attention to Earth Day. En­ vironmental groups concerned with future resource use and disposal have published books and contributed articleson how everyone can help pay more attention to the planet. All people involved with Earth Day must be commended for their desire to make everyone aware of the world. However, the responsibilty for the success of Earth Day 1990 is in the hands of every living being. Recycling programs only work because of popular participation. Energy resources are not unlimited, as earlier believed, so everyone has a responsibility to pay special attention to resources used and how they arc disposed. Humans are the most intelligent creatures on earth, and we have used our , intelligence, in the form of technology, to endanger the future of the world. , Progress is inevitable, but our future development must be more cooperative wilh the environment. As humans, we cannot just apologize for our actions, wc must do what we can to correct our excesses. We, as the most intelligent beings on earth, must realize that this planet will one day die, yet wc can prolong the life of the planet and stop the abusive treatment of Earth. On Earth Day, humanity must think of "Earth Life," making sure the rest of our lives are used to maintain the health of our home. Whether you are an Alpha, a Kappa, a S igma, or a Que, love cannot be spelled with three Greek letters. The sole purpose of a fraternity is brotherly love, unconditional love or agape. This love is for all of mankind and excludes any boundaries. When the "Founding Fathers" created these fraternities, they were not trying to create havoc and mayhem by the overexemplification of their color. Students who are not a part of a fraternity or sorority arc no better. We try to prove our blackness in the clothing we wear. Whether it's the pin that states "It's a Black Thang, You Don't Understand," or the shirt that states Black, By Popular Demand,"these material things do not necessarily promote racial awareness. It is only natural to be proud of your heritage. You should be. Blacks have been kings and queens, philoso­ phers, brilliant educators, peacemakers and many other extraordinary people. But, our ancestors fought to make us equal, not supreme.They were a light. As we so rudely express our blackness, we extinguish that light. Probably the thing we wear the most that "reflects the Ncgrotudc" is the African medallion. People fail to realize that the medallion is to Africans as the cross is to Christians. These things are symbols which arc supposed to identify with the ideals for what they stand for. A Christian is loving, helpful and careful not to judge others. A person wearing a cross should exemplify these characteristics. The African medallion's colors of red, black and green symbolize the blood, the earth and the Charles Pierson It does not matter what we call ourselves—black, Afro-American, Negro, New African or Afrocentric— There is no activity sponsored by the Black Student wc are still the same people.

This is the only activity that the university offers that the '90s, let us be more concerned with the love in out genuinely connects the incoming black freshmen wilh hearts than the color of our skin. Hold up the light! the ASU campus. "We are a nation with no geographic bounda­ ries, bound together through our beliefs. We arc like-minded individuals, sharing a common vision, pushing toward a world rid of color lines." JANET JACKSON Not since the '60s has America been confronted with the overflow of social issues and controversies that arc present as we enter yet another decade. Wc arc constantly in search of new ideals, gaining modern concepts, and setting the standards in the "ultraistie" society wccall the world. However, as we seek to gain independence and free­ dom of expression, there are so many traditionalists and conservatives waiting around every corner with their walls against nonconformity. Why are there so many ob­ stacles for a society they choose to do as it pleases; "living in a world they didn t make," in a "state of the world" where the term "radicalism" has become nearly obso­ lete? It is not that the American youth have lost tlici r sense of wholesome values, it is just that the morals of thcoldcr generation were appropriate for their day.... In this day and age, anew set of rules arc in order—a sclof rules that allows room for the individual declarations of independ­ ence we all need. We live in a world where struggles arc the mainstream of our society. People are constantly fighting for one thing or another, pulling together in alliances of "likeminded individuals," in search of an unrealistic Utopia. This is our problem. We cannot, and must not, concern ourselves with what is right for the black group, the while group or the paisley group. Until wc realize that "a fertility of the Motherland. In Africa, members of the tribe seek to make the group, as a whole, a better force. In Africa, individualism is an unrealized concept. Black people, if you wear the medallion, wear it proudly. But also realize that if you are not living the truth, you are wearing a lie. As we approach the 21st century, we must destroy the seemingly insurmountable nemesis of cliche issues, by realizing that we must love our brothers and sisters because of who (and not what) they are. The accomplices of evil we all adjudicate are our neighbors, families and friends. We can educate the world. Wc must do so. We can obtain a successful existence regardless of our indiv idual preferences and differences. If one chooses to lead his life differently than you and me, we should be caring enough to accept those differences and love them any­ way. It is evident that the black population on our campus is limited. Most black high school students are almost pressured into attending predominately black universi­ ties. Their peers feel that "If you don't go to a black school, you'll lose your heritage." Well, I found out the hard way this is not necessarily true. I attended North Carolina Central University, ASU's sister institution. It was not until I came to ASU that I realized the beautiful heritage of black people. Black Awareness Weekend seeks to give the incoming freshmen a small taste of this heritage. Only by experi­ encing, firsthand, the black experience at Appalachian will the students be able to identify with its existence. The Black Student Association, in conjunction with the admissions department, has planned a weekend full of exciting activities for the potential freshmen. The students will attend classes with upperclassmen, meet some of the faculty and key administrators, attend the Men's Service Club Variety Show, and attend rap ses­ sions sponsored by BSA. On Saturday night, the potential freshmen will attend the Ms. Black Cultural Pageant, followed by the black cultural black tie formal featuring Maria Howell and the Seventh Street Band. BSA sincerely hopes that this weekend, April 20-21, will encourage these students to attend Appalachian. We know how much we love each other at ASU, and hope that this love will somehow compensate for the things these students feel they will miss by not attending a black university. Current problems waste time and money Watauga County Board of Elections would encourage "The Appalachian" to do whatever possible to change this attitude among the ASU voters. Mary Sue Miller Chairperson, Watauga County Board of Elections Athletics wastes Suddenly, a heated exchange took place between the king and the moat contractor. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON taxpayers' money Election chair sets the record straight To the Editor: "The Appalachian" editorial (March 27) "Register to Vote" contains incorrect information. In order for someone to sign the petition on liquor by the drink, he or she must be a registered voter in the town of Boone, not Watauga County as the editorial stated. I explained this point to Mr. Conway when he started the petition. To the Editor: This the worst possible time to even consider another non-productive addition to an instituation supposedly designed for higher learning. At a time when our educational quality is at a low ebb, our national and international competitiveness endan­ gered, national deficits are endemic, state deficits loom to the point that even so called "service" cuts are considered and additional tax increases raise their ugly heads, it is irresponsible to talk about a S24 million expenditure and for additional "fun and games" for the students. As the name implies, a "student" is someone whose activity is to study.

I am certainly not trying to condone this action by any means. However, it succeeded in creating an exciting moment for some. But it has gone too far. No one is amused anymore.

Continued threats become tiresome To the Editor: I w ish to address the person or persons responsible for the increasing number of bomb threats made on the academic buildings of this campus. Taking it upon myself to speak for the Appalachian student body, I am appealing to this party to stop its harassment. Admittedly some of the students foundthe first threat amusing in a On behalf of all those affected by your selfish action, and there are many I am asking you to stop. If you are doing it to humor us, you're flogging a dead horse—we are no longer amused. If you are seeking revenge from what you feel is a wrong done to you by the admini­ stration or a professor, approach the issue directly and responsibly instead If your actions are compulsory, find some counseling. If this rash of bomb threats continues class material will have to be back further. Classes may have to have make­ up sessions to prevent the educational quality of this school from slipping when it has made so much recent progress. As for yourself, you may slip up and get caught.

In a document presented to Faculty nate members by University Planner Dr. Judith Pulley, it was revealed that the former home of the university's College of Business will be occupied by four departments: graduate studies and re­ search, mathematical sciences, the mathe­ matics and science education center and a irtion of the communication arts depart ient. According to the document, graduate ludies and research will occupy the for­ mer College of Business Dean's suite, mer plus two offices in the former economics department area. The document shows that the depart­ ment of mathematical sciences will be moved from its current home in Sanford Hall to the second and third floors of Walker as well as threeclassrooms on the first floor of the building. Also revealed in the document was the fact that the mathematics and science education center will move from Sanford and Duncan halls to five rooms on the second floor of Walker Hall, while some faculty in the communication arts depart­ ment will move from Wey Hall to the first floor of Walker, occupying 12 offices, one conference room and 4.5 classrooms. Documentation alsoshows that six other campus buildings will be affected by the allocations. The anthropology department will move from Chapell-Wilson Hall to the fourth floor of Sanford Hall, while the English department will occupy areas previously assigned to mathematical sciences on the first three floors of the building. The department of foreign languages and lit­ eratures will occupy the entire fifth floor of the building plus four faculty offices on the fourth floor In East Hall, interdisciplinary studies and women's studies will move to the suite vacated by graduate studies and re­ search, while faculty members currently located in 15 of the residence hall rooms will be moved into the buildings housing their concentration: English faculty will move to Sanford, art faculty to Wey and women's studies to the former graduate school suite. In Wey Hall, the art department will occupy five offices and two classrooms vacated by the portion of the CMA de­ partment moved to Walker, while the remaining offices and classrooms in the building will be occupied by CMA left in the building. Following the anthropology department's move to Sanford, the de­ partment of theatre and dance will occupy the entire first floor of Chapell-Wilson Hall while sociology and social work will occupy spaces on the ground floor cur­ rently utilized by theatre and dance. The departments of philosophy and religion, geology, psychology and phys­ ics and astronomy will be allocated space in the Academic Annex adjacent to the physical plant. Research areas will be developed for geology and physics and astronomy departments while a develop­ mental psychology laboratory will be created for psychology. Five offices will be used for philosophy and religion. In I.G. Greer Hall, philosophy and reli­ gion will occupy the classroom space formerly used by the English department. Three classrooms and two offices used by business and one office used by Sum­ mer Ventures in Duncan Hall will be re­ turned to the College of Education. In Whitener Hall, the political science and criminal justice department will oc­ cupy five rooms on the ground floor. The history department will occupy three rooms on the ground floor. Offices cur­ rently used by computer center personnel will be re-assigned to the advising staff from the General College. The Office of Records Management will occupy the forms storage area and part of the com­ puter room while the computer center will retain a section of the computer room for a disaster recovery site and forms storage. According to Pulley, the allocations were not done based on square footage available. "We would have loved to have (allocated spaces) based on how much square footage the buildings had," Pulley said, "but we just didn't have the plans with accurate square footage." She said allocations were made based on the num­ ber of rooms available and the needs of each department for those rooms. Senators support university mission By MARK A. SANDLIN Appalachian Staff WrlUr SGA Senators approved a resolution Tuesday night to show studentsupport for maintaining ASU as a teaching oriented university. SGA Off Campus Affairs Chairperson Steve Yost introduced the resolution which supports Chancellor JohnThomas and the current academic mission at ASU. The academic mission states that, "ASU is committed to excellence in teaching." According to Yost, some faculty at ASU feel that the focus has been put too much on teaching and therefore, pushed too far According to Yost, the resolution is not meant to de-emphasize research at ASU. "I want to seethe current balance that we have now," he said. Yost pointed to the fact that the univer­ sity shows its support for the continuing of research through grants and allocations, which he says increase every yearand will increase again this year. Yost said if ASU educators have a problem with this, "They should find another job." The senate also passed a resolution which will enable students to use their meal cards at The Market. The resolution / m not trying to put research down. I under­ stand research is very important.... I want to see the current balance that we have now." Steve Yost SGA Off Campus Affairs Chairperson away from research. He said they want ASU to develop into a more research oriented university. jjj . > NO VACANCY: That could be the sign hanging outside thedoor to ASU I ^'ssions office. Director Joe Watts said the 1990 freshmen class has been filled. L. °' mid-March, 6,256 graduating high school seniors had applied for admission v PPlachian. Of that number, 2,224 have paid deposits for the 1,800 spaces e fall. Watts said some of those who have been accepted will decide not to enroll at Appalachian, and that's good news for the 485 students who are already on a waiting list. ' Watts said even though the applicant pool is down this year, thequality of students applying to Appalachian remains high. "The averageSAT scores of those who have been accepted and paid deposits is 965." he said. Yost addressed this, saying, "I'm not trying to put research down." He added,"I understand research is very important," and said he wasconcerned that ASU would follow the example that many universities nationwide have set. He said this would result in the university losing the personal attention that its teachers are able to give to students."That's not what I want tosee happening to ASU," Yost said. was acted on by Food Services yesterday as students began using their meal cards to purchase food items. According to SGA Vice President Pat­ rick Wooten, no tobacco products can be purchased in The Market with meal cards. Wooten added that not only would stu­ dents not be able to purchase tobacco products with their meal cards but, "You can't get baseball cards." Items other than food can still be pur­ chased with the Express account or with cash. applicant tours ASU campus Vice chancellor search brings third candidate to campus •ly BETH RJDGILL Appalachian SUIT Writer ° search University of Missouri-Kansas City since 1988. for anew vice chancellor for According to Dietz, the position re­ f^r" ('cvclopmcnt continued as the third quires a variety of duties including pro­ -andid^tes visited the ASU cam- viding leadershipin "establishing policies "Hast week. and priorities common to the student af­ Tarry Dietz, applicant for the posi- fairs division involving eight departments ASU last Tuesday to tour the directly, and 11 academic units indirectly. meel with student leaders, ro;i Dietz said he is interested in the posi­ [sr.,, ^'s v>s't, Dietz said that he was w't^1 the amount of pride tion because of the prospect of profes­ ; D,,,,"', cr|tsseemsto have in theirschool. sional advancement to a chief spot.

Ullman currently teaches at Sarah Lawrence and Concordia College in New York. Bressler and Ullman have won contin­ ued support and praise for their duo per­ formances. The "Washington Post" ob­ served: "Their partnership proved ideal, generating delicately shaded exchanges in which each inspired the other. Bressler's sensitivity to words was echoed by Ullman's response to line, and both were expert at coloring their instrument to re­ flect the music's shifting emotions.

Hey folks, when M recent birthday, so I feltobligated to honor recentbirthday.solfeltoblieatedtohonor their mindful marketing strategies. First up on the new release schedule is the Pale Saints'"The Comforts of Mad­ ness." The Pale Saints are an interesting new British trio with an original twist on that psych/garage revival thing that's generally getting done to death thesedays. This, their second release (a three song EP was released in October), is an unex­ pected delight. Syd Barrett, Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground and The Jesus and Mary Chain all seem to be musical influences— garage grunge, weird improvisation, art­ fully out-of-tune guitars and controlled waves of feedback all seem to be found ^at' ' took it as manifesto. — Ci T L fy » . nave to figure out what to do with - rthday cash. Ultimately, it does not i-g^rc a whole lot of thought (oops, I abundantly.* The really original twist here e t * Materialism is so '80s). Anywayr is the singing. Rather than attempt to shout ortl company release schedules all abova the music ( a common problem in to fall crazily right on top of my "garage" type bands), the vocalist—un­ identifiedinth^f-r^HUo identified in thecredits—goes for thesubtle approach: a smooth, melodic vocal deliv­ ery which complements the music nicely. Despite theinstrumental aggression,"The Com forts o f Madness"holds upwell under repeat listenings. This full-length debut is surprisingly good (4AD Records, Lim­ ited-British import). Also out on 4AD is "Med Love" by Lush—yet another "new" band. Their six song EP "Scar" (released on 4AD in Oc­ tober) was one of the most unforgettable debut releases from anyone I've heard in quite some time. Lush features a male rhythm section with drummer Chris Ackland and bassist Steve Rippon, but is led by a pair of intensely powerful female guitarists. The influences are similar to those of the PaleSaints, but their feminine reinterpretations of Sonic Youth-Mary Chain-Pixies guitar fury are totally their . own. In other words, you've never heard anything quite like this before. The new EP Mad Love," is an all-toobnef four-song sonic blitz produced by CocteauTwin Robin Guthrie. This makes me even hungrier for a full-length CD than the earlier EP. "Mad Love" opens with De-Luxe," a deceptively restrained pop tune based around an odd, martial rhythm, reminiscent of a minimalist cross between Thro wing Muses and the Cocteau Twins. The second track, "Leaves Me Cold," is a textbook case of controlled chaos, as waves of tight, layered guitar effects fuse together into a white-hot wall of sound. The following tune, "Downer," builds even more as delicate, ethereal vocals act as a weird counterpoint to the intense musical attack. The EP closes with "Thoughtforms," which also appears on ^ st«y * the earlier release. This alternate version is clearer and more spontaneous than the original. The energy level reached here is im­ pressive; thereare definitely no neo-folkie strum and howl numbers lurking here. Lush is defini tely a band with a future. Put this one in, sit back, and hit the repeat button on the CD player. Unforgettable. Next up on the new release horizon is "Gold Afternoon Fix" by The Church. This record is the eagerly awaited followup to 1988's "Starfish." "Gold Afternoon Fix" (I don't know what the title means; with this band, figuring it out is half the fun) is generally an improvement over 'Starfish"—there's a cleaner, more spon­ taneous sound here, and melodically "Gold Afternoon Fix" is more diverse than its predecessor. The band brings in some 6 ' "international" influences—that neopsychedelic eastern sound (aseastern as George Harrison ever got, anyway). The absence of a lyric sheet is frustrat­ ing; the lyrics provided in earlier albums indicate a pretty major talent, and pro­ vided some useful insights into the band. Standouts here include the opening track, "Pharaoh," the single, "Metropo­ lis," and "Essence" (a good choice for the second single). The entire disc is filled withcatchy tunes—"Gold Afternoon Fix" takes the catchy, melodic sound of "Hey­ day (their 1986 release) and the driving spontaneity of "The Blurred Crusade" (from 1982) and fuses them. The result is a haunting, hypnotic brand of guitar pop. The CD, which runs nearly an hour in length, includes a pair of extra tracks.

The ballet, written by poet Theophile Gautier and dramatist Vemoy De Saint-Georges, is based on the legend of the Wilis, the spirits of young maidens who have died before their wed­ ding day. The ballet tells the story of a peasant girl who is happily betrothed and then cruelly betrayed. Giselle is driven to madness and death by her unrequited love for Albrecht, a nobleman who has been i ving in her village disguised asa peasant. brecht seeks Giselle's forgiveness at her graveside and is caught up in a dance of death with the Wilis.

Southgate Shopping Center Boone, N.C. 1 ( Localed Next To AiP Across From Roses) 704-262-3227 �9 SPORTS The Appalachian, Thursday, April 5,1990 Sports hurt \ j)yer finish by weather Boone is not the place for sports. Don't get wrong or anything, because I love Boone and the High Country and I also love both parlicipating in and viewing sports. But, let's be honest, the unpredictable weather in Boone causes it to be one of the most horrid places to plan any game, be it a back yard pick-up game of hoops or a Southern Conference football clash. As the old saying goes: "If you don't like the weather in Boone, stick around for about five minutes; it's bound to change." This holds true for the weather all the time; however, it seems to be particularly true for those times when sporting events are being held. 1 will never forget the first ASU football game I covered as a sports reporter. It was the 1988 season, and I was working for "The JournalPatriot," a semi-weekly newspaper in North Wilkesboro. The sports editor and I left Wilkes with the sun shining and temperatures at near-summer highs. I crammed a light-weight jacket in my camera bag, thinking I would need no more than the shirt on my back. Boy, was I wrong. me As the game got underway, I was sent to the sidelines to shoot some photos. As I walked toward the field, drops of something started falling from the sky. I don't exactly remember which came first, the rain, the sleet or the snow, but by the KURT C. WARD - end of the second quarter the sky had unloaded a helping '°feach- Needless to say, I jerked my jacket from my backpack and zipped it up tightly. However, 'the wind cut right through it, and the water drained through my casual leather shoes. The other photographers looked at me with a slight smile. I could tell they were getting a kick out of seeing a rookie like myself suffer. Well, by halftime, the rain, the sleet and the snow all went away and the sun broke through the clouds. However, the temperature had plummeted far below the summer-like degrees just 35 miles away. Even though this dramatic change in weather affected the photographers and fans, it was hardly noticed by the football players. Football as one sport that Mother Nature has a hard time disturbing, even though the weather can dampen spirit and lessen fan turnout. Other sports have greater difficulty in coping with the unpredictability of a Boone day. Most sPring sports, including baseball, track, golf and aennis, can be severely disrupted because of an all-timed rain and/or snow storm. Coaches are sometimes forced to rework entire schedules due 10 t',e inclement weather. for instance, this year's baseball schedule has rained on numerous times. Coach Jim orns has been forced to cancel some games even move some contests to other fields, n*mely high school Fields in other counties. This Eliminates Appalachian's home field advantage. fjfth in cycling classic By KURT C. WARD Assistant Sport Editor An Appalachian senior conquered fifth place in a field of 110 cyclists this weekend, as he partici­ pated in the Annapolis Stage Classic, a three-stage bike race held at Annapolis, Md. Sonni Dyer, the fifth place finisher, was ASU's sole rider in the competition which pitted nine school teams ffom the East in the three day event. Ididn t expect to so so well without the support of a full 1Oman team like all of the other schools," Dyer said. Going into the final day and the 55-mile road race stage of the three stage race, Dyer trailed by 23 seconds and was in 23rd place. I knew my final day had to be a good one," Dyer said. "I figured somewhere that I had make up 23 seconds." Well, on the last day. I broke away with three other guys, and we put 27 seconds on the rest of the field. So that pretty much assured me of a top-10 overall finish." Although he made up the necessary time in the final day. Dyer didn t fare as well on the opening day. The three-day event opened with a .6-mile prologue time trial. Dyer completed the stage in the middle of the pack, placing 54th on the initial day of competition. Dyer moved to 23rd place with his ninth-place finish on the second event, a 36-milecriterion. The race propelled him to be in thecompetition for the lead going into Sunday's road race. In the overall standing. Dyer's fifth place finish was just 19 seconds off the winner's pace and just five seconds out of third place. The overall individual title went to North Caro­ lina Slate s Dave Weinman. Wienman's victory lifted the State squad to the team title as well. Dyer s fifth place finish allows him to continue his cycling persuits. He said, "This past weekend I earned three more points that will allow me to race the U.S. Cycling Federation's Pro One-Two Category, and I think that for my style of racing, I m more suited to fast, longer races." Dyer, an EastTennessee State transfer who ran track and cross country for the Bucs, graduates in December, and then plans to pursue his cycling. I m going to take a year or two and give it a try," he said. "So far its going well." Over here (the United Statesjcycling is getting bigger, but in Europe, the guys are making salaries close to our football players." Dyer has applied to ride with a developmental squad sponsored by "Velo-News," a cycling magazine. If accepted, he said he would be given the opportunity to ride in Belgium. Dyer's former wins include the "Bridge to Bridge Hundred Miler,"which concluded at Grandfather Mountain last September, the "Tourof Dairyland" in Statesville, and the "Grandfather Mountain Time Trial."

The conference leaders include Pete 'Vandenberg in the 5,000 meter (14:40.1), Jon Fullen in the triple jump (49-3 1/4) and Gary Hall in the pole vault (14-6). Fullen's jump leaps him to fifth place in ASU histroy in the event. Brad Dodson placed sixth for the Mountaineers in the 10,000-meter event with a personal best time of 30:11.2. Also claiming top five finishes were two of ASU s relay teams. The 4xl00-meter team of Harvey Sutton, Frank Allen, Linell Johnson and Eric Joe finished fifth with a time of 41:71. The team of Allen, Johnson, Joe, and Lawrence Lloyd also secured a fifth place finish in the 4x200 with a time of 1:27.12. Mountaineers slip past Bulldogs of UNCA By KAREN POPE Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU men's tennis team has struggled as of late, winning just one of its last four matches. The Lady netters have also labored, being unable to pick up any victories in their lastmini-tournament. Last Monday, the men's team suffered a 9-0 loss to Furman. The men not only lost the match, but also their number two seed, David Rea. Rea sustained a pulled muscle forcing him to the side­ line.

Sonni Dyer, ASU senior cyclist In doublescompetition, the Mountaineers pulled out two wins, with Rand-Aycock winning at the number two, and Vick-Mitchem, number three. AS U's only loss came at the number one singles position, as Rand fell to Jeff Duncan. Rand won the first set, 6-2, yet fell in the second set, 6-4. Rand then pulled ahead 4-1 in the third, but be­ cause of the flu. Rand simply "ran out of gas," according to Fields. Over the past weekend, the women's team trav­ elled to UTC for a four-team tournament. This past Sunday, the men's team grabbed an 8-1 victory over UNC-Asheville.Winners in singles were Rea, Marston,Aycock, V k k and Mark Mitchem. In doubles, Rand-Adcock took the num­ ber one win, Rea Marston, number two, and Vick-Mitchem, num­ ber three. The Furman coach said his team faced a much better ASU team this season than the last. The number one ASU doubles team, David Aycock and Warren Rand, lost a tie-breaker, 7-6, in the third set. "We were just out-played by better players," Assistant Coach Gene Fields said. In a match last week, the men of UNC-Charlotte defeated the Mountaineers, 6-3. Entering the doubles round of play, the App squad trailed 4-2, with Rea and Aycock taking singles victories. The UNCC squad pulled out the overall win, however, winning all but one doubles match. ASU's one doubles victory came from the team of Aycock Rand. Appalachian RETURNING THE BALL: A Mountaineer returns the ball during a match against Furman The Mountaineers lost the match to the Paladins.ASU will be back into actionon April 7 against the Catamounts when they travel to Western Carolina. They return home on April 14 to face The Citadel. The Mountaineers next battle came from the defending Southern Conference champion squad of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. The ASU team lost the match. 6-3; however, Rand knocked off the Mocs number one seed, Rolanda Apablaza, 6-3, 6-1. They opened the tournament by losing to Marshall, 5-4. Appalachian winners in singles were Brittany Schwartz, at number three, and V icki Galbraith and Laura Cely, along with team­ mates Kelly Doherty and Michele McCoy. "It looks tough for the women in the confer-. ence," Fields said. The Lady Mountaineers then lost to UTC, 9-0.. LTC is an excellent team," Fields commented. "They have a lot of talent." The number one player for UTC is Michelle ' Egen who is from Ireland. When moving onto the team, Egen moved the number one player from last year, tfho won the conference in singles,down to the number two position. This abundance of , talent helps UTC look forward to a great season.: In the last match of the mini-tournament, the Mountaineer women were defeated, 8-1, by West- ' em Carolina. "We jus;couldn't pull it out," Fields said. �St. Cess The Appalachian.Thursday. April 5. I WO a •HELD OVER «.y pLICK What Can Make ACUVUE' Disposable Contact Lenses Even Better?

Terrorism tips to tempt tyros Recently, on a ui-weekly trip to my sociology class in Chapell-Wilson, I passed a mass of people out in front of W hitener Hall. My first thought was that this must be a bomb threat. My thoughts were reinforced by several conversations that could be heard over the noise of the massive parking lot crowd. SHANNON ROSS Editorial Prod. Coord. Tht Advertising The Appalachian, Thursday, April 5,1990 KURT WARD The allocation process distributed space according to rooms available tnstead of by square footage available. University Planner and Space Com nuttee member Dr. Jud.th Pulley admitted that this was done to university does not have the square footage information for ^buddings affected. A more insightful plan of action would have been one that gathered ISST™*" W- —«*- — It should be obvious that the method used allowed for gross miscalcula­ tions of how much space each department received. According to this plan one department could receive a 2,000-square-foot auditorium. while another department received a 10-square-foot closet. This would be recognized as allotments according to the university's methods. It is almost as if stadiums and doll houses are being given equal billing "Hey, does this mean that we don't have that quiz on chapter 10?" "Guess so dude. You wanna run by the Sweet Shopand then kick some hacky?" Students and faculty search for answers economist, an excercise scientist, a historian or a speech pathologist should have the opportunity of studying with anthropologists, biologists, economists, exercise scientists, historians or speech pathologists. Having a terminal degree in a field or holding the rank of professor does not necessarily make one an anthropologist, biologist, economist, exercise scientist, historian, or speech pathologist for life. Rather, the active practice of that discipline, in terms of both the transmis­ sion and transformation of that body of knowledge and skills that constitute that discipline, is what accomplishes this identity. Granted, the new Collegeof Business building isadditional classroom and ice space but this building will not begin to meet the needs of the entire university. If the university's mission is truly to provide effective educational Iportunities for its students, then the university needs to provide adequate facilities for students to thrive in their academic endeavors. Students: get involved Whereas classroom experience is the most important aspect of a student's ^ifJdemic career, extra-curricular activities can serve as an important completo formal education. ASU has a wide array of clubs and organizations "Tatcater to practically any interest a student may have. Choices available to students include academic clubs, service organizations, college media and student government. Students should get the most out of their college careers, and an important ^Pect of this is taking advantage of extra-curricular activities. A plus for ^^•dents who choose this path is the addition of a faculty advisor to most Tiversity-recognized organizations. These advisors can share their wisdom, •penences and expertise in a more personal setting than a classroom. n the 1700s, co-curricular activities were seen as a corrupting influence on nts. Many college presidents sought to ban them, and others insisted on controlling influence. Today, these same experiences are recognized for 11 legitimate value to students. Most universities have some sort of student Telopment department which promotes these activities. • '"dents who have never experienced co-curricular activi ties should at least e serious consideration to the options they have.

With all the construction currently in progress at the university, it seems reasonable to question why more class and office space is not being constructed. What takes precedence—a pizza parlor, a basketball palace or classroom and laboratory space?

Of course, allow yourself enough time to arrive at the building so you can see countless students and faculty running for their lives. Research further educates teachers To the Editor: While I applaud Steve Yost's ("The Appalachian," March 22) concern with the critical issues raised by faculty at ASU over the past few weeks, I must correct some misconceptions that I believe he has concerning the debate over what he terms the "academic purpose" of our university. Mr. Yost suggests that the choice is between a "research oriented" university and a "teaching and instruction oriented" university. Moreover, he suggests that those faculty on one side of the debate—the "research oriented" side— are neglecting students and the university's primary mission of instruction. Nothing could be further from the truth. While the current issues are compli­ cated and broad, transcending concern over the mission of the university, the debate is in no way about research versus teaching; rather, the debate is about the nature of teaching at the university level and the role that research and scholarship play in such teaching. When faculty receive terminal degrees in our disciplines, providing us with the credentials to enter university teaching, we have not only acquired a vast body of knowledge produced by preceding generations of scholars, but we also have acquired the methods and critical skills which enable us to contribute actively to that body of knowledge. Many Appalachian faculty, myself included, believe that at the university level faculty should be encouraged and expected to bring all of our scholarly skills, knowledge, and power to the classroom. We owe it to our disciplines; we owe it to the store of knowledge and understanding of which we are all a part; we owe it to our university; we owe it to our students. In order to be as effective as possible for our students, we must remain active contributors to that body of knowledge which we purport to teach. This requires us to be more than teachers, transmitters of a body of knowledge; it requires to b» scholars, transmitters and transformers of that body of knowledge. Surely a student who is going out in the world to beanjmthrojylogist. a biologist, an This active participation requires quality classroom, laboratory or field in­ struction, but it also requires developing and presenting ideas to the world beyond the classroom and laboratory. These activities labeled "teaching," "research," and "scholarship" are not conflicting or even separate activities; they are all a part of the act of "profess­ ing" (which is what professors do). Do students want their writing to be evaluated by a faculty member who has not written anything herself in the past 10 years? Do students want their critical thinking evaluated by a faculty member who has not dared to have his own ideas critiqued by peers in his field? Do students want their labs to be evaluated by a faculty member who has not conducted her own lab research in the past 10 years? Do students want to be educated in a discipline by faculty who do not practice that discipline? I think not. Students deserve more. Of course, nothing guarantees that anyone will be a good teacher. Those engaged in research and scholarship can be poor teachers, just as surely as those who do no research and scholarship can be poor teachers. But, those of us who are concerned about recent events on campus cannot be so easily dismissed as people who care nothing about teaching, students or ASU. We care deeply about education, about knowledge, about this institution, and about our students. I want to mention one last thing. Mr. Yost says that the faculty average only "12-15 hours a week of actual teaching, leaving an abundance of time outside of the classroom to conduct research." Using this logic, it would be reasonable to suggest that students could take 40 hours of classes each week, rather than "only" the 15 hours currently averaged. Chancellor Durham supports the mission, deans Byrd, Davis, Land Lawrence, and Strickland support the mission, the department chairs support the mission, and most of the faculty support the mission. Deans Byrd and Combs contributed language to the mission which make it a strong statement in which we can take pride. Many of us came here as faculty because we believe in the potential which exists in our students, and have high standards of excellence which your future well-being necessitates. Look elsewhere for a boogie man in the current controversy. It's not to be found in a mission statement loyalty oath. Good education is Thomas' priority? To the Editor: We are writing in support of your recent letter to President Spangler Patricia Beaver concerning student morale and the Anthropology shortcomings of the administration. We would also like to address the role of SGA. It seems to us as though ASU has become a political playground, and for the sake of our educations we must speak out and throw off our reputation as apathetic students. Chancellor Thomas has been quoted as saying that "Education takes top priority." Is he planning to put a new science building or expanded library facility in this wonderful coliseum? We agree that our present basketball/concert facility needs improving. However, it appears that Chancellor Thomas is not practicing what he preaches, especially when the coliseum takes priority over To the Editor: education.

According to Hunger Coalition offi­ cials, the C ROP Walk is the annual com­ munity fund-raising event sponsored by Church World Service in the battle against local and world hunger. Speakers at the Hunger Coalition in­ cluded CWS Region Coordinator Ed King; Edith Matovu, who is an expert on nutri­ tion and third would hunger issues from I Tnorirtn. ~ 1 n 1 r. . Uganda; and Ruby Byland, a Watauga County resident who lost her possessions during Hurricane Hugo. King said CWS is the relief, develop­ ment and refugee assistant arm of 31 I rotestant and Orthodox Christian com­ munions working together in the United Mates to aid people in great need. He said WS uses CROP resources to support work in eight program categories: food seeds, appropriate technology, foreign and domestic emergencies, family planning, refugees, technical consultants and devel­ opment education. King said CWS is presently working though two agencies in Ethiopia: Ethio­ pia Orthodox Church and Christian Relief Development Agency of Ethiopia.' Ac­ cording to King, three million people pres­ ently suffer from malnutrition. King attributes the major cause of hunger in Ethiopia to drought. He said that the environment plays a big role because there is a lack of sanitation, edu­ cation and water resource development. " Ft is a terrible deprivation for the people in Africa, and others find that hard to understand because hunger is not thought of as being a big of a problem in the United States," he said. Matovu said most people in Uganda can grow their own food, however, the northeastern part of the country faces drought. She said if the political, educa­ tional, and economical situations were settled, there would not be as much of a problem. "It is hard to teach people if they are hungry, and as long as people are hungry it will be hard for them to concentrate on key areas," Matovu said and added, "It is important to become involved with the CROP Walk to help the Hunger Coalition and CWS with the fight against local and world hunger."

Students continue to fight against SAC ByJENELLEAUTRY Appalachian News Editor Some students carried on their fight against the proposed building of a $24 million student activity center yesterday as they began a three-day vigil near the construction site at the environmental studies area above Kidd Brewer Field. Vigil participant Jeanne Appelget said. Our purpose here is to educate people about this area and show them how much of it is going to be destroyed." According administration we are still concerned and will continue to work against the con struction, even though the SGA voted for (construction of the SAC). Appelget and others participating in the vigil claim the proposed construction site has already begun to be destroyed. In a tour of part of the construction site con­ ducted by Appelget, she pointed out trees cut by survey crews. "It's unusual for a survey crew to cut those size of trees," vigil participant Sarah Cohen said point­ ing to some larger cut trees. "This need­ less destruction doesn't make sense."

University plans for the SAC show that it will be constructed on the hills above Kidd Brewer Stadium, one of which is more commonly known as Suicide Hill. Appelget said the vigil was organized by an ad hoc group of students and not any specific environmental group. "We are just a group of students concerned about the environment and academic issues on campus," she said. We would like to increase awareness about the area to be destroyed," Appelget said and added, "We want to show the Members of the group also expressed concern over the general assembly alloca­ tion of $9.75 million for the SAC. Ac­ cording to Appelget, the money has only been pledged to the university by local state representatives and has not yet been approved by the general assembly. "The vote (to approve the $9.75 million expenditure) will not be taken until June," Appelget said and added, "if the univer­ sity does not get the money it has one of two choices: either it does not build the SAC or student fees go up." According to Appelget, the vigil started yesterday morning at 9:30 a.m. and will continue until approximately 7 p.m. tomorrow.

Appalachian Starr Writer Uncle Sam is trying one more time to tell Cubans the "American way" is the only way to go, and what better way is there than by sending them TV, the idiot creation Americans depend on more than any drug that makes it here from South America? TV Marti, as the channel is called, has been jammed every day in its first week of operation The Cubans are already so good at jamming signals now that they can put Marti off the air five minutes into its broadcast day. The problem with TV Marti is not that it's a bad idea, but it is not as full of propaganda as it should be. After all, we are sending the signal to an island full of commie pinkos who are best known for playing a mean game of baseball. Since Cuba is still part of the "evil empire," as Jesse Helms likes to call them, then Voice'of America (TV Marti's operator) should choose merciless program­ ming that is considered a form of torture by many world leaders. I do not expect VOA to change their format, so I've already done the favor for them.

The three mostcommon are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and malignant melanoma, with the latter being the most serious. All three appear on the skin in the form of raised lumps, which vary in size and color depending upon the type of skin cancer. Most beds today use ultraviolet A radiation rather than ultraviolet B, because it lessens the chance of burning. But UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays, increasing the risk of edema (swelling), vascular system damage (purple blotching) and premature aging.

The National Cancer Institute reports that 400,000 to 500,000 cases are detected each year in the United States. About 90 percent of all skin cancers occur on parts of the body generally unprotected by clothing, such as the forearms and the face. The same percentage can becured through early detection and treatment. A tan is the result of exposure to ultraviolet rays, either from the sun or from the fluorescent bulbs found in tanning beds. The ultraviolet light dam­ ages skin cells, which then stimulate the body's production of the chemical melanin. Melanin guards the skin cells form further damage and darkens skin color. Although the tan color eventu­ ally fades, the damage done cannot be reversed. The effect is cumulative, which means tanning now may cause wrinkling or skin cancer as one grows older. *"ish they never looked toward Moscow for »*elp. ^ Tanning doesn't have Appalachian Photo by Trty Horse* AN ALL TOO COMMON SCENE: All across the nation, the environment has been devastated by the effects of man and his inventions.

April 3.1990 Mountaineers drop two to Keydets Baseball is lie the only sport By ROGER WATSON ock The ASU baseball team had a full schedule of games this weekend, and the weather let them play most of them. A friend of mine says you can tell you're over 19 when: 1) it takes two days to recover from a The homestand began with a big win over Davidson on Wednesday. A doubleheader with Carson-Newman scheduled for last Thursday was rained out. The rainout meant the Mountaineers have now missed 12 games, and three conference games, that cannot be made up. The Apps are currently 9-12-1 overall, with a conference record of 4-5. Appalachian did manage to play three games against Virginia Military Institute. The Saturday game was moved to North Wilkesboro because of a rain-soaked Lackey Field. hangover, 2) you start to enjoy doing yard work or 3) you don't get fun stuff for your birthday So argument from me on the first two.

"Ordered it from Manny's Baseball Land in Hackensack, New Jersey." (Where else would a place called The Mountaineer bats stuck early as they picked up three runs in the bottom of the first. John Key reached first on a Wildcat error. He stole second, and later stole third on a fouled-up pick-off at­ tempt by Davidson. Doug Jones came and stroked a single, scoring Key. Scott Waugh reached base and was driven in by a Brad Niethammcr double. Chris Hollins continued the Mountaineer attack by slapping a double and driving in Niethammcr, before he was thrown out trying to stretch the double to a triple. "Manny's Baseball Land" be?)

Smith won his first game of the year for the Mountaineers. The Apps had opportunities in the fifth and the seventh but didn't put anything else on the board until the eighth. Appalachian had Hollins on sec­ ond and Johnny McCraw on first. Mark Macchis drove in Hollins with a base hit. Key then got a clutch hit to drive in McCraw with two out, to make the score 5-1. eXai" <Jays^' And everywhere I saw the look-the look from people who didn't understand. The look that clearly asked, "Why does a grown man wear soiflelhing like that?" DR. TIMOTHY SILVER fie answer is easy. You see, I'mnot obsessed with the shirt; I'm obsessed with what it represents, baseball and the San Francisco Giants. I know all the metaphysical reasons for liking baseball. I know the game is geometrically perfect, played on a diamond, with most of its important numbers being multiples of three. frnd 1 know that baseball can suspend time. As tag as no one makes the third out, an inning can last forever. I know it's the only sport where fa defense is in control of the ball.

Danny Wills was pitching in relief of •Smith, arid he put out the Davidson threat with a strikeout to end the game. The Mountaineers won The North Wilkesboro air must have done Appalachian some good. They pounded out 11 hits and 14 runs to beat VMI, 14-9. Adam Lazarus won the decision for the Mountaineers, as they improved their conference record to 4-3 and ex­ tended their winning streak to four games. It was a slugfest as Appalachian pounded out five home runs, and VMI hit three. McCraw slammed two homers, and GarTett Hinshaw, Macchia, and Hollins each had one, as the Mountaineer offense pounded the Keydets. The next day in Boone it was a different story. The emphasis shifted from hitting to pitching. The Keydets sent Barry Johnson to the mound, and that's where he stayed for the duration, as VMI beat ASU 6-2. The Keydets got three runs in the first inning off starter Smith. The VMI power continued in the second. Kevin Rowell came in to face the cleanup hitter Andrew Beasley with run­ ners one first and second. Beasley cranked a • homer over the right-field wall, and VMI went up 6-0. Hinshaw tried to answer back in the bottom of the second with a lead-off homer, and Rowell shut down the Keydets for the rest of the game, but it wasn't enough as the Mountaineers fell 6-2. It was a beautiful day, so they played two games. And the second one was not better than the first for ASU. Once again it was the Beasley show. He hit homers his first two times at the plate, giving him three for the day. It was the fourth inning of the second game before the Mountain­ eers got him out. Wayne Carter came in to replace starter Wills, and Beasley finally grounded out to the second baseman. For both games, Beasley wen six for seven with three home runs, a double, two base hits, and a stolen base and five RBIs. Mark Kraft was the starting pitcher for VMI. He pitched a complete game, giving up only seven hits in seven innings. VMI won the game 8-2 and swept the doubleheader. The top performsr fqj fije Mpupttijnecrs was Waugh, who went 6-7 in the twin bill. He had six singles, stole a base, and scored a run. Women's Intramural Basketball The Boozettcs II defeated Uncle Jim's Babes in the final game of the women's intramural basket ball tournament. They had faced each other once before in tournament play. The Boozettes cap­ tured the first win, but Uncle Jim's Babes took the next win on Wednesday night before the final game. The Boozettes II gained control during the first half and managed to keep it for the remainder of the game. Margaret Ziglar, team captain for the Boozettes, said her team was pretty worried about facing Uncle Jim's Babes. The hard work proved beneficial as they defeated Uncle Jim's Babes by a score of 39-35. Team members include Anne Marie Beaver, Jenny Campbell, Lisa Fisher, Kelly Rhoney, Dcanna Sharpe, Stephanie Stewart and Ziglar.

Though Edwards estimate seems to be a bit underestimated, this percentage of the campus has been the most active in expressing its The march two months ago which ended at the steps of the administration building was a clear and evident sign that there is substantial opposition to the project. SGA, in return, publicly suportcd the center's construction. Yet open support has not been evident in the student body. So far, support for the center has not been visible except for rude graffiti pointed more at the opposition than at the cause they claim to oppose. The role of the university's administration is crucial in this matter Cost statistics and other facts concerning the project have been misconstrued by die widespread word-of-mouth publicity campaigns often used by those on both sides of the issue. Even campus media outlets, including "The Appala­ chian, 'hear various figures that do not mathematically agree with what has been released publicly. The administration must be willing to release all information concerning costs for the center, both construction and mainte­ nance costs. Since costs for the center arc expected, even by the administra­ sets us straight To the Editor: I would like to begin my letter by congratulating Mike Scales and Daryl Ghent for their recent victory in the elections for president and vicepresident of SGA. (much needier) areas, we cannot stare a gift horse in the mouth. We are a growing university, and with growth comes pains. There are ways to achieve progress without destroying the environment, and this is the philosophy I subscribe to. In your editorial, after mentioning parking, you asked, "What are the more important issues?" In my eyes, it should be, and probably is, the true opinion of every student that the number one priority is to eliminate campus rapes and ensure that never on this campus do we have a tragedy such as that of Jeni Grey and never again does a woman have to carry the tragedy of rape with her for the rest of her life! College is a place for a person to begin life, not have it taken away or defiled by empty-minded individuals. Yes! This is my number one priority on campus. UNC Chapel Hill instituted a program whereby fees were raised 15 percent per semester, per student. This paid for the hiring of one extra security officer. We also could institute such a program. However, since we have a smaller student body, we would have to pay a dollar per student, per semester. This figure comes from the fact that the average officer earns from SI 8,000 to $23,000 per year. Even now, I am wondering why "The Appalachian" did not quote us on this issue. In conclusion, I decided to run as a write-in candidate because I could not believe that no one else wanted to try for this position. College is supposed to stress participation in the process we call democracy. My decision to run had no personal connotations whatsoever toward either of my opponents. I resent the atmosphere of apathy that exists today. However, my greatest focus is toward setting the record straight on where I stand on certain issues that were mis­ represented in "The Appalachian." The March 22 issue of 'The Appala­ chian" has misquoted several policy positions on which I have taken a stand. Realizing that this is a student, not a professional, publication where aspiring journalists are seeking a greater understanding of their desired careers, I have decided to write this letter to the The decision I made to run was to editor in the spirit that honest mistakes participate in the democratic process, to are made by even the best of writers. further educate myself and to get a taste Turning to the specific article, of what it is like on the campaign trail.

This is a statement that I never made.

McCoy that I believe the problems could be ASU Box 10031 easily rectified by more moderate means, such as using the spaces currently available? For more information, Stadium (A) lot has some 100 unused spaces. Furthermore, after the new "food court" beside A-lot has been completed, some 40 extra spaces associated with the construction of that building should also help alleviate problems with parking. The second point of difference in the same article by Swofford is the quote. To the Editor: He explained that the idea was to work I'm writing in response to some of with the administration to achieve a Mr. Yost's comments in "ASU's suitable tuition." The implication is that educational purpose is to teach" which I thought the administration, not the retirement. Part of one's service as a university faculty member should including remaining a scholar, and contrary to Harvey Durham's ideas, I don't feel that reading a book and giving a report to fellow faculty members constitutes scholarship activity. As students, we deserve more than this. This is not to say that all ASU professors must remain on the edge of ground-breaking research, only that they should be allowed and encouraged to maintain a certain level of excellence. In a world where universities remain hallmarks of society, there should be no conflict concerning this point. The faculty are entitled to a semester off from time to time during which they can revamp labs, read current literature pertaining to their field, work with graduate and undergraduate students' research, or any other activity which keeps them active and up-to-date. Such activities do take time, however, and I m sure if Mr. Yost asks the average professor he refers to as teaching 12-15 hours per week, he will quickly find that there is not an overabundance of time as he suggests. An occasional semester off simply doesn't cut it. Furthermore, if this professor is one of the more active researchers on campus, his/her annual report will still clearly state that at least 50 percent of the time was spent teaching, not on personal research. Dean Byrd has been aware of ASU's teaching commitment from the very beginning,but he also felt that the faculty's education should not end with tenure at this university. I do not feel my education has been hindered in any way be the dean's enthusiastic support for ASU faculty research. It actually helped to bring some of the faculty closer to students (such as myselQ. For these reasons, I feel the dean s resignation will have an impact on students, contrary to Mr. Yost's suggestion. controlling their destiny. It's our university and we should have an active voice in deciding what direction it will take. With the recent controversies taking place on campus, however, I fell we ve been denied that privilege, and I think hundreds of other students and faculty will agree with me on this point. Todd Kirby ASU Box 6196 Center and science have no chemistry To the Editor: In response to Steve Yost's thinly veiled support of the building of the student activities center, I would like to pose this question: What does, indeed, benefit the students most? Is a recrea­ tions facility really a "strong stand concerning academics," or would this money better go into the ambiguously defined concept of "research?" Research" is not a group of white lab coats shouting "Eureka!" and extolling their self-gain in a dimly lit scientific lab like something from a "Far Side cartoon. Supporting research also does not mean that hordes of crazed, long haired, 22-year-old graduate students (as I will be in about in a year) will be center stage behind the podiums in 75 percent of the lecture halls.

To do that involves talking about things that should not be discussed." Pulley also refused to comment on the content of the letter. At press time, Dur­ ham had not responded to a formal written request made by 'The Appalachian" to obtain a copy of the letter. In her chronology. Pulley said in late February of 1989 she, along with Parker, asked the deans of each college at the university to submit a proposal for space re-allocation in the building. Byrd said he received input from many of the chairs and proceeded to develop his proposal for submission. Pulley said Byrd's proposal, which was submitted to the Space Allocation Committee on May 30, 1989, called for the department of See MEMO pg. 2 SAC debate held By BETH RIDGILL Appalachian SUIT Writer Administrative personnel, faculty, and students at • •— took part •" an open in <ui upcn — ASU forum last Wednesday night to discuss the proposed $24 million student activities CC-TnJr 1 he meeting consisted of a six-member panel who presented opposing views on construction of the proposed facility to a standing room only crowd. Associate Vice Chancellor for Aca­ demic Affairs and University Planner Dr. Judith Pulley spoke on behalf of building the SAC. "We arc here tonight not so much as to change your minds, as to prov ide you with morecomplete informa­ tion about this project," Pulley said. She spoke on three issues which she felt needed to be addressed, the first being evidence she said shows aneed to build a student fa­ cility. Pulley used Broome-Kirk and Varsity gyms as examples, saying that when Broome-Kirk was constructed the enroll­ ment at ASU was 2,201 and the seating capacity for the gym was 2,500. Accord­ ing to Pulley, Varsity gym was built 22 years ago when the enrollment was 5,580, and has a capacity of6,500. She said ASU today, has an enrollment of 11,500, and Broome-Kirk and Varsity gym no longer serve all the needs that they were origi­ nally intended to meet. Pulley said uses for the new facility will include convocations, commencement ceremonies, basketball games, office space, concerts, practice space for other sports, cultural events, public events, and other special programs. "No one will argue that Appalachian does have other equally pressing or more pressing needs," Pulley said, addressing the reason state appropriations for the SAC cannot be used elsewhere. She added that money appropriated for one purpose cannot be shifted to serve another. TUDENTS QUESTION ISSUES CONCERNING SAC: A forum was held Wednesday night in which administrators and staff were questioned by students ut the reasons behind the building of a student activities center in the future. Appalachian Photo by Troy Hor.c* Students expressed their ideas and views concerning the center, and administrators tried to address students' questions and concerns. According to Pulley, the general as­ sembly appropriated $3 million in the summer of 1989 to complete plans for the SAC and to prepare the construction site, and in September of 1989, SGA members discussed and voted for a student fee in­ crease in support of the SAC. "We are requesting funds form the remainder of the state share of the funding for the SAC," Pulley said. "If they are awarded we will not be free to change our mma ana put that money toward some mind and other project." Pulley said the construction site for the SAC is located on the practice field and part of the mountain above Kidd Brewer Stadium. Pulley cited reasons for construction on this spot as being the lack of useable vacant property owned by the university. She said most of the vacant property is in a flooded plain or is remote from campus. The site, which she said was selected by an architect, will utilize the stadium park­ ing lot, and will be within walking distanceof approximately4,400students who live on campus and about 3,000 who live elsewhere. Pulley said. According to Pulley, the university will landscape at the construction site. FNilIcy suggested that those members of theaudi­ ence not convinced that the university needs a student facility could write their legislators to voice their opinions. Pulley added that even if the SAC is not built at the proposed site, it is only amatter of time before something else is. Opponents of the proposed SAC said there are more important needs at the university, such as library books improved faculty office space and renovations in many areas. There is also concern among the opposition that the environment will be affected by the construction of such a facility by destroying an important envi ronmental studies area. Speaking on behalf of the building opposition was Dr. Ed Turner, professor of health, leisure and exercise science. "Ed is for an athletic facility, not for a $24 million white elephant," said Turner. During his presentation Turner said everything he had read said that the ad­ ministration had great input. "The prob­ lem is ,we have had very little," Turner said, and added that he had spoken to six coaches concerning the SAC who said they had no input as to the construction of such a facility. Addressing comments by a variety of individuals who said that the opposition was misinformed, Turner said, "I think we were not informed. I don't think we were misinformed."

Not only does next fall's intern receive credit hours toward graduation, but a thousand dollar stipend, paid in monthly installments, is alsogiven. Taylor said: "I come into the office everyday at 8 a.m. and leave at 5 p.m., so the money I receive in my stipend I consider more of a salary. I believe every morning that I'm going to work and not just to an internship for credit, so therefore I get paid for the work I do." Taylor said the selection process did make her nervous, especially when her interview took place before a committee consisting of the SGA presi­ dent and vice president, student court's public de­ fender and attorney general, the director of Stu­ dent Involvement and Leadership, the director of the Office of Residence Life and two at-large appointees. Each asked one question concerning her application and her personal approach to the job of legal intern. "Of course I was nervous," Taylor said, "but the committee was very courte­ ous and professional," which she said is better than getting the "third degree." According to Taylor, only three people have asked about applying for the position of legal intern. She said a greater response of possible applicants would be nice and figured that students would want to take advantage of the opportunity to work in the kind of office setting that Student Legal Services provides. For all those interested in the position of legal intern, applications are still available from the Student Legal Services office which is located in room 319 of Workman Hall. All applications need to be completed and returned by 4 p.m. Friday, April 20. For further information, call Taylor at 262-6255. ASU professor considered great Arabic translator By JOANNE ALDRIDGE The first rule I found out was to get a set of good clubs. Since I am a poor student on a budget of pop-tarts and chili dogs, my budget had no room for clubs. So I borrowed the set used for years by my father, whose golf motto is "Fairways are for sissies." My father always had a habit of putting a ball in the woods and trying all day to hit it out of the trees. The second rule I discovered was to have a friend who knew how to play so he or she could teach me a few tricks to impress the boss.

"The Egyptian teachers were very good. That's where I learned most of my Arabic. I went there and studied and studied. Some people made 'contacts.' I studied." Ijl 1 hat is what attracted me. It is definitely an intellectual challenge in Mahfouz." With a crunch on jobs for doctorates in die humanities and subjects like Arabic in the United States, Hutchins took a posi­ tion at the University of Ghana as lecturer and head of Arabic studies. "They had a good Arabic library and an undergraduate major in Arabic. He was able to continue his work on the Hakim and Jahiz books on Ghana, and he later sold the car he pur­ chased there to helpfinance a year of post­ doctoral work at Harvard. He wanted to get the Jahiz and Hakim books in "the best possible form for publication." To do so, Hutchins said, "I needed the use of Harvard s fantastic library tosee the books dirough properly .... I had been working on Jahiz for ten years, and I had done significant work on Hakim. That year at Harvard enabled me to polish the books and have them ready for publication." In addition, he spent a year studying Persian poetry.

Rusty Ellis, the departmen­ tal secretary, relates that on one occasion a call which was obviously a 'roll over* from Dr. Hutchins' telephone came to her office. This "soft and rather breathy voice" said, "I'm calling for Dr. Hutchins. This is Jacqueline Onassis." Ellis said, "I'm something of a set-up for prank calls and put ons; so my first reaction was to say 'Well, this is Barbara Bush. Would you like to speak to George, too?' But then I realized this was the real thing. I literally slid under my desk and clung to it." She laughed and said, "I was a basket case." At that point," Hutchins said, "1 was waiting to see how Doubleday wanted to receive the material. I finally called Doubleday's attorney. In turn Martha Levin, a publisher withAnchor-Doubleday called. They had assumed I was working in Cairo. All the while I was In Boone. Then Mrs. Onassis called to introduce herself. We chatted, and she asked me about my work and the nature of my translations. She wanted"to get a feel"for the kind of translations I have done. "Were they scholarly or literary?" Of course, everything I have done is literary, and she seemed pleased to know that. She ex­ pressed her admiration and respect for Mahfouz's work and his style. She indi­ cated excitement about "Cairo Triology" and particularly "Palace Walk."

Moore observed of Hutchins, "At first, it's hard to know what to make of him. He is softspoken. Then he is intimidating. But he is always so interesting that he definitely keeps you awake.

Rounding out the top six. junior Mark Mitchem holds the number five slot Appalachian Staff Writer Once again spring had awakened, filling us with the scents of freshly cut grass and the beauty of the flowering dogwoods and azaleas And with spring comes the Masters, full of both tradition and rich heritage, acting as a signal to officially begin the golf season. The men's and women's tennis teams have started their spring season. The men's team has Played eight games and has a record of 5-3. The women have played one more match than the men, but unfortunately have only won one match. So far, the men's tennis team has had a "pretty good season," according to assistant coach Gene Fields. They started off the season by defeating three teams that they lost to last year: Catawba, hgh 1 oint and Guilford colleges. "They have pleasantly surprised us," Fields said. The Masters has marked this opening day since Bobby Jones created this invitational tournament in 1934. And from its inception, the Masters has been a tournament full of Southern hospitality, seemingly set aside by the gods m honor the greatest of all games. Other wins that the Mountaineers have had were against Western Kentucky and St. Bonaventure. The three losses were to Davidson, Bap- The Masters-rise in stature is distinct from the normal progression to major championship The tournament was never billed as a championship and never attempted to become one Destiny seemed to have blessed it with such power and charm that when applied with a catapult the Masters soared into the heaven of majors. tist. and a heartbreaking match to Xavier, which lost 5-4. ASU Vick is the only senior on the team. He is a lefty and has had some big wins in doubles. Two return­ ing lettermcn were David Aycock and David Smith. Both Aycock and Smith are juniors. The number one doubles team varies. Rea and Marston play in the number two doubles position. The third doubles team also changes. "Overall we expect this season to be a real spoiler-type team in the Southern Conference," Fields said. "Our guys have come a long way since the fall and we're really proud of them. Warren Rand, a sophomore, leads the men's team in the number one position. He has been ranked nationally in amateur tennis and has exten­ sive background in tournaments. "Warren plays tremendous tennis at number one," Fields said. He s a real fighter, and he has come tfirough in some tough matches." The Mountaineers have a young team on the courts, with four freshmen in the top six positions. " They have really helped a lot," Fields said. Freshman David Rea plays number two. Fol­ lowing Rea, freshman Heath Marston plays at number tfiree, followed by freshman Greg Dulin at number four. At the number six position, freshman Brey Williams splits his playing time with senior Head coach Dr. Mike Kemodle played tennis at UNC-Chapel Hill and has an extensive tennis background in coaching and teaching. He also coached professional tennis at Chicago. Although coming away with only one match victory, the ASU wrestling squad sent four team members to the NCAA Division I Championships this past weekend at College Park, Md. As a team, the four placed ASU in 57th place in the field of 97 squads. ASU Coach Paul Mance said this tournament was good experience for all who went. "We didn't go out there, lay down, and die," Mance said "Almost everyone that beat us, all except one, was all All-American. We have several k hat can win matches out there next year." The Mountaineer'sone tournament victory came from 150-pound sophomore Adrian Hines. Hines defeated Mike Bartholomew of Rider College, outscoring him 9-8 in the first-round match on Thursday. Hines was eliminated in the second round by the eventual 150-pound champion, Brian Dolph of Indiana. Mance commented on Hines: "He (Hines) hit the number two seed in the country who won the tournament. I thought he would do better in die next round. He's a good kid. He didn't beat thatkid (Dolph), but he learned a lot." The Mountaineers also sent two seniors, Chris Zwilhng and Rock Burch, to the national opening round. I ft J The saying that surfaces-every year is that the masters doesn't truly start until the last nine holes on the final day. And though getting through the front nine is no picnic, it is merely a moment of waiting in anticipation of what lies beyond. "He wrestled real welI,"MancesaidofZwiIling "He had a reversal he didn't get and an escape he didn't take. He came back not having a whole lot of luck." The back nine at Augusta National is full of lemptatioas and evils, and serves a veritable Garden of Eden to the leaders. To maneuver these holes successfully, golfers rely on raw guts matched with intelligence. For aggressive­ ness can lead to disasters, but passiveness won't i lead to anything. /.willing was defeated by Oklahoma's Joe Staf­ ford who advanced all the way to Friday's semi­ final round. "I though for sure/willing would win some matches," Mance said. "But we had a lot of bad luck in who we hit to wrestle." Rock had the same situation, "Mance said."He lost to (Greg Haladay) from Penn State who fin­ ished second in the country. He then lost to the third guy in the country in the consolation." , ^c ^ad a 1°' bad luck," Mance continued. The computer decides who you wrestle.

"We are real pleased with the way we wrestled." I This year, thousands of golf fans will travel J down to Georgia to be a part of this holy event.

The women's tennis team, on the other hand, has had a streak of bad luck. "They're taking their lumps," Fields said. The team has been beset by injuries, including one that ended the season of their number one player, Nicole Nissley. She had a shoulder operation and has not fully recovered yet. She showed promise in the fall,"Fields com­ mented. "She's really competitive."

LaRue ASU Box 11567 portrays discontent Student comments openly in response To the Editor: THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Congratulations and praise for your letter to President Spangler featured in the Tuesday, March 20 issue. Your comments were well-written and to the point: students are concerned and have lost faith in the ASU administration. ASU's student body has had a reputa­ tion for apathy and lack of involvement in significant issues concerning university policy and procedures. This is no longer the case, and your letter is a strong step toward representing the concerns of an active and responsible student body. Karen Lohr ASU Box 15101 Insightful column changes perception To the Editor: Midlife crises in moths reviews • I have recently been discouraged by the lack of thought and preparation put into arguments about critical issues, and am refreshed to see that Mr. Boykin has a well-organized, non-inflammatory opinion on an issue that has raised some hairs in its time. Thank you for a calm, intelligent approach to this old mucky problem. "Oh, I don't know. Billy's been having trouble in school, and Sally's always having some sort of crisis. I tell you, Edith, it's not easy raising the dead. thesen®w technologies. I seriously wonder how much research could have gone into developing these energies with the one billion or so dollars already spent on clean­ ing up the Prince William Sound. I would like to commend Michael Boykin for an excellent commentary in the Tucsday, March 20 edition of "The Appalachian." While the issue of gun control in our country is old, his article made some interesting points in a new light. To the Editor: An open letter to "the Appalachian" Editor Jon. T. Jimison Recent articles published in "The Appalachian" have caused myself and many concerned students on campus to steadily and significantly lose faith in the manner in which this publication performs its function to the university community (I hesitate to say "our" publication). An excellent point in case concerns an article published in "The Appala­ chian" on March 20 entitled, "An open letter to UNC System President Dr. C D. Spangler." While I was tempted to satirize the complete article in much the same manner as the opening paragraph of this letter, I do not feel compelled to make broad sweeping and unsubstanti­ ated allegations. Realizing that I lack the "substantial" resources of a university newspaper in discerning information, it is still apparent to me that several points can be made to bring a more professional and unbiased light to the events portrayed within the article. While I am not privy to information concerning the "leveraged buyout" of Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivctte (a situation which you are _2bviously "on top of'), I was able to do | a little research into Dr. David Mclntire's "frenzied search" for a new position. Understanding as I do that many reasons behind an individual's career moves are personal and highly confidential (translate: none of your or my business), I think that it would be revealing to note the characteristics of the university to which he has moved. • In closing, "Action must be taken by your office immediately in order to pre­ vent the complete undermining of respect for our (publication)." David E. Law ASU Box 9048 Dr. Mclntire has taken a position of vice chancellor for student development at the University of Missouri at Columbia. While this position is in title the same, the responsibilities there reflect the demands of a much larger university. A quick look at Peterson's Ciuide to Universities reveals the following. U.M.C. is an NCAA Division I school with 23,434 students, 17,525 of whom are undergraduates and 6,000+ of whom live on campus. It is a comprehensive university offering fa­ cilities and services much like ours, but on a much larger scale. Prudent observation would lead me to believe that a great deal of his decision to move had to do with career aspirations which had to have been supported by Chancellor Thomas. My second example, drawn from the same article, concerns the following passage, ...and the plain dissatisfaction of the university community with the administration have contributed to the growing realization that 'our' admini­ stration is more concerned with the quality of its image than its education." It is strange to me how a statement of that nature could be in such conflict with an article residing on the same front page of the same publication. It is apparent to me, and probably a great deal of your readers, that the article entitled "Resignations may center on research conflict" deals specifically with this matter. In it. News Editor Jenelle Autry writes, "According to Chancellor John Thomas, the mission of the university involves three main objectives: education, research and public service. Thomas said of the three education takes top priority." My understanding of the rest of the article indicates that the current controversy underscores his commitment of that goal. Your point in the article has no foundation. I find the rest of the "letter" equally full of half-truths, misinformation and anti-acjjninistration bias that can only serve to further alienate misinformed students and bring ridicule from such respected and influential men as Dr. Spangler. As a university newspaper committed to "Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service since 1934," I submit to you that you should re-evaluate you commitment to those ends in terms of professionalism and ethical considera­ tions. NPWvrtn nor nm* CWSpapCr printS inept journalism To thc Editor: Congratulations! Your open letter to Dr Spangler on the front page of the March 20 issue proved the speculations of many to be correct. "The Appala­ chian" has shown that it is nol capable of responsible journalism. The editors took it upon themselves to abuse their place in thc public limelight so as tc convey their feelings about ASU's administration. The staff deemed their own editorial important enough to be placed on the front page. It goes without saying that anyone who writes an editorial feels that theirs is of great importance. However, The Appalachian" staff lacked the objectivity to see that their opinions are just like everyone else's. Please keep these on the editorial page. I was also troubled to learn that the paper s faculty advisor, Mary Ann Sabo, was instrumental in the process This shows only that she is inept at teaching responsible journalism. For those who don't know (this apparently includes the editors of 'The Appala­ chian"), one of the primary rules of journalism is to report facts and avoid bias. Need I say more? In its quest to stir up some dirt, "The Appalachianhas lowered itself to new levels.

According to University Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Dr. Harvey Durham, the letter of resignation from Psychology Chairperson Dr. Verne Bacharach may point to possible ties be­ tween his and College of Arts and Sci­ ences Dean Dr. William J.

William Byrd, and the chairman of Dur psychology department, Dr. Verne Bacharach, two of ASU's most strident champions of academic concerns, have severely undermined our faith in the integrity of our academic environment There arc blatant discrepancies between the words and deeds of ourchancellor. Dr. John Thomas. We are now in the aftermath of announcements concerning his dedication to "quality over quantity" at ASU, and the announcement of 1989-90 as the "Year of the Environment" in Boone.The appropriation of S9.7 minion from the state legislature (that much more will be drawn from student fees) for a coliseum will—in the chancellor's words—result in environmental damage. Further, such Kpendi lures will fly in the face of desperately needed improvements in our library's holdings and the very infrastructure of our classroom buildings, not to mention preventing necessary construction of a new math and science building. This situation is absurd, unwarrantedand an insult to students here and everywhere who are apparently assumed to be incapable of hearing the truth, much less contrib­ uting to its creation. Mysterious internal administrative behaviors, a high turnover of administrative Officials, allocations of funding diametrically opposed to the stated purpose of the university, and the plain dissatisfaction of the university community with the administration have contributed to the growing real ization that "our" administration « more concerned with the quality of its image than its education. Action must be taken by your office immediately in order to prevent the complete undermining of respect for our leaders. Our first suggestion involves the appointment ofan independentevaluator who will opus stringent attention upon the way in which our administrators perform their •unctions. This investigator should be appointed by you, and should report to your office, with no obligation to anyone within the ASU community.Clearly, the current of mystery must dissipate before morale breaks down entirely. Perhaps changes iced to be implemented by an entity totally removed from the current situation. Second, in order for thecurrent state of affairs to<end as quickly and effectively as Possible, we request that youpcrsonally come to our campus to provide an open forum within which questions may be raised that will meet with better answers than "no comment" from anyone higher than a graduate student. Regardless of whether you feel these suggested actions are appropriate, it is 0 iously inappropriate for the present condition to continue. It seems obvious to this ^ucemcd student body that definite action is required immediately in order to restore confidence in the abilityof our administrators. Perhaps with this personal attention on Jour behalf, ASU will became capable of achieving greater status than that of the wstardson" of the UNC system. _ "The Appalachian" ENVIRONMENTAL VIGIL HELD BY NIGHT: B athed in candlelight, members ot .Students Actively Volunteenng for the Environment and other environmental preservation organizations marched through Boone last week to protest the develop- . ci _ Appatacntan Knoto oy rv«r*n pope ment of ,200 acres of GrandfatherMountain and the construction of theSAC amon 8 8 other issues.

' Write-in candidates expand SGA race By RAE BEASLEY Aisisunt Newt Editor ses -Jc ok ^ Appalachian Photo by Troy Horack V KET GAINS ATTENTION: Write-in candidates Todd McCoy and Dan $CACrs wi" challenge Mike Scales and Daryl Ghent in Wednesday and Thursday's Presidential/vice presidential election. Two write-in candidates have an­ nounced that they will challenge SGA presidential and vice presidential candi­ dates Mike Scales and Daryl Ghent in this week's student bodyelections, even though they have been told they will not be al­ lowed to win the race. According to the attorney general's office, the write in candidates, Dan Mas­ ters and Todd McCoy, will not be allowed to win even if they get 50 percent plus one of the required votes. "The two candidates are in violation of not filing for candidacy," SGA Attorney General BillGoins said. "I have called the candidates and explained to them that they will not be allowed to win." Coins added, "I have also been told that this has never happened in an election at ASU before. As it stands now, I really don't think they can win." According to Masters, he and McCoy plan to petition to be allowed to serve if they win the election. "We feel if we get enough votes, we should be given a fair chance to run," he said. Masters said he and his running mate did not file their candidacy by the official deadline because they did not see any notices advertising the opening of the offices. "The first I heard about (the campaign) was when I saw Mike and Daryl (Scales and Ghent) posters around campus, Masters said. "I then reviewed their platform and spoke with Todd (McCoy) about running." Masters also stated that he had spoken with several people concerning their plat­ form who had agreed to support them. According to McCoy, he and his run­ ning male have placed posters in dorms and have arranged to speak with several groups. "We are trying to get our names out, along with speaking to the commu­ nity," he said. "This is very important considering we are write-in candidates." Masters and McCoy said their cam­ paign slogan is "voice a choice." McCoy said, "We feel students should have a choice." According to Masters and McCoy's campaign manager, Bryan Gretz, "We feel we have a strong platform—a more tangible platform. We feel our ideas are easily obtainable." Masters and McCoy's platform ideas consist of promoting security with em­ phasis on foot patrol, pursuing payment of additional fees to the cashier's office (for example parking tickets), promoting voter registration, applying diplomacy with administration to achieve tuition goals by a more realistic, peaceful approach to the administration and promoting stronger ties with the UNC-system SGA. Masters said, "We are very positive about this. We wouldn't do this if we didn't think we had a shot." Although Masters is not a member of SGA, he says he feels he can do the joband stated that he has "kept up with SGA through SGA senators Howard Durant and Brad Rogers." McCoy is a senator in SGA. Oppositioncandidate Mike Scales said. "We are not going to take them (Masters, McCoy) lightly. You should never under­ estimate the opposition. I feel we will win anyway. Our campaign is well organized and a lot of thought went into it." According to the attorney general's office. Masters and McCoy will be al­ lowed to campaign and theirnames can be written on the official ballots by the indi­ vidual voters and counted in the election if the candidates wish. I am glad that they are exercising their First Amendment rights to voice opinions on the direction of ASU. After all, the whole purpose of the SGA elections is to bring student concerns to the forefront," Ghent said. Booths will be set up in the student union for anyone wishing to vote in the elections, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wed­ nesday, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday. Booths will be set up in the residence halls to allow on-campus stu­ dents to vote from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. i �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Despite protest by some members of the university and Boone communities, the ASU board of trustees unanimously voted Thursday to reaffirm their decision to build the proposed $24-million Seby Jones Student Activities Center near Kidd Brewer Field. Both Student Government Association President Brad Edwards and Trustee Rich­ ard N. Davis said opposition for construc­ tion for the project came from those who had not been properly informed about its construction and usage plans. "Students want to know the informa­ tion on the student activity center," Ed­ wards said and added, "If they knew the background information on the SAC they would be understanding and receptive of it." Edwards, who serves in his capacity as student body president as a member of the board, told the other trustees, "(Students) don't know the information behind it, and that's where the opposition is coming from." Davis, former chairman of the board, said he had been dismayed by the unfavor­ able attitudes expressed toward construc­ tion of the SAC. "It is being referred to as a coliseum," Davis said. "That is not the case. It will be used for a variety of pur­ poses," he said. Davis said the project had been in the planning stages for "quite some time" after it had been decided that the cost of renovating Varsity Gymnasium wouldcost close to $19 million. Davis termed the renovation of Varsity Gym "wasteful spending" and said the general assembly, following a decisionby Seby Jones to seek funding for a student activities center, gave the university ap­ proval and a pledge of $9.75 million to begin construction on the project. He said the only way construction of the project would not becomereality would be if the state legislature decided not to honor their pledge. Davis also said the legislature s alloca­ tion could not be spent on anything other than the SAC. "The opposition seems to think it is an e.ther/or situation, that the money appropriated for this facility could be used to add to the library, he said and added: "That is not the case. The general assembly approved the funds for this specific purpose.

Poll Shows Educators Satisfied with Their Appalachian Education: After three years of professional experience, educators trained at ASU said they were satisfied with their preparation, but felt ill-prepared in some technical areas including teaching with computers, according to a poll conducted by the college. College of Education department heads are reviewing the survey to consider changes in the college's curriculum.

AS U Broadcasting Professor Dr. Kevin Hailing said,"The most beautiful place on earth is becoming adeveloped wasteland." Hailing said he believes that the clean air and beauty of the environment is being hreatened and says, "Humans are no linger die bully of the eco-system, we are part of it and should live as such." According to a pamphlet distributed by lOM, the area surrounding the mountain contains dozens of species of plants and animals, and "Friends of Grandfather Mountain opposes any further encroach­ ment by development." Isaacs said the group's intent is not to own the mountain themselves, but to raise enough money to secure the land and put it in a public trust where it will be pro­ tected. Isaacs said the march was designed not only in support of the preservation of Grandfather Mountain but also to enhance people's awareness of issues that affect the environment. She said these issues included water quality, recycling, the proposed arenafor A.S.U., andaproposed electric generating plant for Deep Gap. Isaacs said she was pleased with the turnout at the march, but added she be­ lieved many people did not come because of the impending bad weather. Isaacs said she feels the community is showing a great amount of support for the preservation of Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding area through combined efforts such as the march and a bike exhi­ bition to be held on April 22. She said the exhibition will be sponsored by FGM in order to raise money for the Grandfather Mountain fund.

Thomas Appalachian SUIT Writer Spring break is the time to do major traveling and I felt like going to California just to see if the place could have gotten any smoggier since I left Los Angeles and Alyssa Milano years ago. All the lights of Hollywood really didn't excite me, and I felt like I wanted to do something beyond the ordinary beach wander­ ing. So I took a tour of the Home for Aged and Wayward Pop Stars. I was greeted by Leif Garrett, who just happened to be the manager of the place. Shawn, it s a real thrill to have someone come by and visit all the people here. Since everyone here was abandoned by the record companies and radio stations years ago, they've really been starving for somebody to come by once in a while to say 'Hi' and ask for an auto­ graph." While sipping tea in the main garden, Leif told me that the house for former pop stars was his idea. "I have to admit I was really down and out after I got put in the garbage can," he said almost angrily. "All those cover stories in 'Tiger Beat' really made me feel on top of the world. Then there was 'I Was Made For Dancin'. Shawn O'Neal Lord forbid, I felt like I made some­ thing even better than 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Then reality hit, and I found myself laughed at by every record-company bigwig in the country. I had such a bad reputation; I couldn't even get the job co-hosting 'Solid Gold.'" Leif said he had the obvious thoughts of throwing all his money away on booze, drugs and the occasional date with Victoria Principal, but he wasn't old enough to drink, the drugs . could have stained his leisure suits, and Andy Gibb had already got hold of Victoria. "As a result," he said, "I started this place just so the has-beens could still feel appreciated." He even introduced me to some of the newer residents of the home. Simon Le Bon gave a cheery greeting while chowing down on choco­ late eclairs. He showed me a chair to sit down in and told me some of his stories while hitting on a bag of cheese puffs at his side. I guess all the fat jokes about him were true. "I heard about this place back when Duran recorded 'Notorious,' but I never thought I'd end up here," Simon said in between handfuls of puffs. "I'm a poet, not a pop star. I can't help it the critics were too stupid to understand the vision I had with Arcadia. That was my most thought-provoking effort. Even Yasmin understood the greatness behind it, and she has more air in her head than Dan Quayle has in his." Simon was about to go on a tangent about Durannies when Adam Ant walked in asking if Nick Rhodes left any make-up for him. "Le Bon-bon" replied no, and Adam dashed off before telling anyone where he was going. Simon just shook his head when he thought about Adam. "The poor guy just doesn't know when to quit. He thought 'Vive Le Rock' should have been the top album of 1985. If only he could realize that he was worse at Live Aid than Duran was." Leif walked into the room and handed Simon the pizza he apparently had ordered beforehand. Before leaving to go back to his office, Leif told me I ought to see some of the guys from Menudo who lived on the other side of the building. I thought I better get out of Simon's room before he started asking me if I had any milk of magnesia handy, so I cut through the garden where Davy Jones was playing his maracas to his Beethoven tapes. When I got to the Menudo room, I saw one of the guys was in the middle of a loud Spanish tirade against New Kids on the Block. I got Ricardo (I think his name was Ricardo.) to calm down and talk in English again, so I could understand why he was so mad. "It's simple, Shawn," he said while dragging on his cigarette. "Those guys are going to burn out soon, and I'm going to have to share a room with one of them. They have absolutely no talent, and they wouldn't know what hanging tough was if they did it in the mall on a Friday night. Their egos are really big these days because they're doing so well, but at one time, we were the kings of the world just like they are." The rest of my stay consisted of cruising the malls with Tiffany and drag racing with Andrew Ridgeley, that "other guy" in Wham! I didn't think I could beat crashing cars with Andrew, but I found that the ultimate moment of my trip happened as I left the Home for Aged and Wayward Pop Stars. Shaun Cassidy told me he was forming a band with Ray Parker Jr., Pat Bcnatar, Debbie Harry and some of the guys in said, We have a good, solid group of employers Spring break is over, and summer is only a few this year." months away.

According to Debbie Thomas, coordinator for the Student Employment Office, there will be over 50 employ­ ers on hand with at least seven states represented. The first summer job fair was held three years ago. Thomas said: "There was a crunch for sum­ mer 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. The fair has proven to be successful over the last three years. Last year over 1,200 students attended the fair. This year Thomas said she hopes that 1,400 students will attend.

"Anyone who wanted to get to the next round needed at least 46 correct questions out of the 50 answers given,"Tew said, "so everyone really felt pressured to have a perfect round." Six people were chosen from each session for more question and answer competition, followed by an interview to see if the students could show their personalities in front of the camera. Getting to Dayton was no easy task for Tew. She already had plans for spending spring break else­ where, but when she received her letter of invita­ tion, she immediately tried to switch her travel plans. Tew said: "After talking with three differ­ ent airlines, I finally got arrangements made. I had to fly stand-by to Atlanta, then spend a three-hour layover in Atlanta before a plane was bound for Dayton. In lite span of two days, I got about four hours of sleep. It was still worth all die effort, though my mother didn't like the whole plan at all." "I was pretty excited to be selected, since so many people sent in their names." Greyson Tew ASU junior asked any interested college students nationwide to send postcards to their Hollywood address. One contestant from each school was invited to the nearest contestant search. (The other two contest­ ant searches were in Boston and Los Angeles.) "I was pretty excited to be selected, since so many people sent in their names," Tew said. Two sessions were held on March 10 and 11, with 70 students competing in each session. The initial contest was given on a video monitor which featured Trebek giving 50 "answers" equivalent to $1,000 answers in the "Double Jeopardy!"round. A "question" had to be provided in five seconds' time. Tew said it was as tough as it sounds. Not only was concentration needed to give correct "questions," but also the rapid-fire ability to write Tew said she still watches "Jeopardy!" with the same enthusiasm she had before entering the contest, but now she plays at home like an expe­ rienced contestant. The reason so many people think they play so well at home is because they shout out their answer as soon as it is shown on the video screen. On the show, the contestant can't buzz in until Alex Trebek says the last syllable of the answer," Tew said. Tew said there was a world of difference be­ tween Dayton and Daytona. "The town is small and out in the middle of nowhere. If it wasn't for the contest, I wouldn't even drive through it," but as she thought more about her adventures, she had no regrets whatsoever." 'Jeopardy!' is the hardest game show on TV, and though it was tough, at least I know I tried."

"Light" food labels can mislead consumers By LAURA O'NEAL Appalachian Staff Writer I his article is published bi-weekly as a service of lhe Appalachian Wellness Center located in the Student Support Building. The Center provides educational programs, groups, and individual consultation with the goal of helping students improve their health. Many products are advertised as having "no cholesterol. Such alabel can bemisleading. Peanut butter, for example, does not contain cholesterol, but one serving is 76 percent fat. Cholesterol can only be found in foods from animals, i.e., meats, breading to be labeled "light." Other foods, such as pancake mixes, oils and desserts, often use "light" or "lite" to describe their texture or taste, not fat and calories. Some "light" products do have less fat and calories than their regular counterparts. One na­ tional brand of "light" microwave popcorn has 50 percent less fat than its counterparts. However, 39 percent of the "light" popcorn's calories are from fat, and anything with over 30 percent fat is con­ sidered a high-fat food. Not all fats are alike.

Editor's Note: Sources for this of Leslie Eslick of The Wellness Ce .,eC �SPORTS The Appalachian, Tuesday, March 20,1990 NCSU went downhill Earlier this semester, some friends and I de­ cided on a whim to go see the ASU-N.C. State Basketball game. On the way back, I had an idea for a sign that I should have made for the game; on the front, it would have asked, "How many amateur athletes play basketball at State?" The opposite side, naturally, would have read 'None." All of this was in the more innocent days of January; I had no idea that, in the eyes of some people, 1 might be proven right. Recent controversy about certain alleged transactions at North Carolina State University is tearing the athletic community apart. Shouts of "let 'em play!" and "fire Valvano!" are all you can hear on the call-in radio shows in Raleigh these days. Having spent spring break in Raleigh myself, speaking with friends connected to the university about the basketball program there, I have a slightly different perspective on the situation than most out-of-towners. I have something of a personal investment in the program there. I was in high school when the "Cardiac Pack" rocked Albuquerque, N.M., and the basketball world back in 1983; also, one of my favorite highschool teachers was an academic counselor for their athletes (appropri­ ately enough). The most recent allegations involve academic underachiever Charles PRUITT Y. ALLEN Shackleford, now a pro player. Apparently Shack took over $60,000 from a big State booster while he was in college. Ac­ cusations of point-shaving by Shack and others on the State teams of a few years ago have also come out, only to be dismissed for lack of evidence. But why was this allowed to happen during his college- amateur—career? Any cash payments from boosters to athletes will have an obviously deleterious effect on the integrity of the program, whether these payments are on the up-and-up or not. Further, Coach Valvano says he knew nothing of the loans. Good Lord, why not? Considering the amount of time he should spend with his Other accusations that seem more substantiable include statements that many players sold their free shoes and game tickets, a violation of mles at many levels, and that they were ditching classes more often than humanly possible to be earning the grades they were receiving. Let me clear the air about where I stand here; I am firmly of the opinion that colleges are for learning. This is the primary and in fact the only acceptable reason that higher education exists. If people expect to be paid for their efforts on a playing field under the current system, they teed to become professional athletes. If, however, they choose to play for a college team, they must accept the obvious restrictions "tat go with it—at least until the rules arc By KAREN POPE Appalachian SUIT Writer The Mountaineer wrestling squad fell to the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga squad by just three-quarters of a point in the Southern Conference Tournament last week in Charleston S.C. Although die Mountaineers placed second, they had the first place position on the tip of their fingers. The UTC squad pulled out the first place victory with a score of 94, while ASU fell behind with a scoreof93.25. Following the Mountaineers were Virginia Military Institute with 58.25, The Citadel with 34.5 and Furman with 9.0. "It's aclose tournament each year," Coach Paul Mance of the Mountaineers commented, "and due to seeding and losing one crucial match in the semi-final game, we came in second place." This is the third time in the last five years the Mountain­ eers have lost a very close opportunity for first place. "We didn't wrestle bad. We just didn't score as many points as they did," Mance replied. "We also didn t get the breaks or seeds we needed." There were eight members in the finals for ASU. Antonio Calloway won in the 118-pound division. Senior Tom Elphick lost his match in the 134-pound division, while Adrian Hines won in the 150-pound class. Corey Creech lost in the 158- place in the conference tournament," Mance pound division. Senior Dale Robin lost by a single commented. point in the 167-pound class.

Wednesday, March 14, in the first round of the Maryland had also out-rebounded ASU at the half NCAA tournament. 19-12. Appalachian StalT Writer The Lady Terps have been ACC Champs sev­ eral times in the last few years proving them to be a strong basketball squad. "They're a premiere team in the country," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson commented. Glenda Cunningham led the Lady Apps with 26 points and 7 rebounds. Following Cunningham was Shannon Thomas with 19 points and 5 re­ bounds. "I was very pleased withour inside game," Coach Robinson said. "Even their inside players had trouble stopping ours." The sixth seeded Lady Terps continued to be consistent in the second half, while the 11 th seeded Lady Apps fell further behind. After being up by 14 at 13:11, the Lady Terps scored 14 straight points, giving them a 78-50 advantage. The Lady Mountaineers struggled back into the game, but could not stop the quickness or consis­ tent scoring of the Lady Terrapins. Wendy Martin hit a basket to give Maryland the century mark with 3 seconds left in the game, sending the Lady « Terps into the second round of the NCAA tounia rnent. 'n Well, Shackleford says he repaid the money, and I believe records have been produced to that effect. If so, that's fine. players, I'd expect him to know (as another coach suggested) if one of his players bought a new suit. $60,000? Mountaineers fall short of SC title "I'm really proud of our team. No one predicted us to finish better than third in the Southern Conference, and we placed second and went on to win the league tournament and get the automatic NCAA bid.We exceeded everyone's expectations." ' oa // Linda Robinson Lady Mountaineers Coach Although ASU shot an impressive 88 percent from the free-throw line to just 68 percent for Maryland, the Lady Terps hit 60 percent of their field-goal attempts. The Lady Apps managed to hit only 42 percent of their field-goal attempts. The size of the Lady Terps posed a problem for ASU, especially their 6'4" post player, Christy Winters, who is considered one of the best players in the ACC. Winters is a senior and had 29 points on the night. After the tip-off Appalachian took an early lead as Jimma Smith hit a field goal at 19:39. The Lady Apps kept the score close and were able to keep up with the Lady Terps and tied the score at 19-19 at 9:56. Even with the disappointing outcome of the game, Coach Robinson was really proud of her team this year and glad that they had gained experience. "Hopefully the returners will be able to handle that experience again," she said. "I'm really proud of our team. No one predicted us to finish better than third in the Southern Confer­ ence, and we placed second and went on to win the league tournament and get the automatic NCAA bid. We exceeded everyone's expectations." Also scoring for Appalachian were Smith and Karen Gruca each with 12 points, and Annette Cain with 2. Gruca contributed 5 assists, while Smith and Valeric Morgan each had 4. Spring football begins ^hangeci.

Sports Flash Given this conviction, it would be nice to say "tat providing an amateur athlete with money is Jfst plain wrong. However, nothing about the '"tic is cut and dry.

In other words, if a P ayer s family is not independently wealthy, y can t get money to spend on necessities ^at are not covered by their scholarships. As 8 as this rule is in effect, any comparisons tween students on full athletic scholarship those who get money for their academic "titties are void.

In the women's tournament, Lora White was the cham­ pion, making 23 of 25 from the charity stripe.

Several junior college transfers are working out with the team for the first time. making up the team score. University points were awarded to the teamscompeting, through lOplaces, with Delta Chi and the Boozettes receiving 50 points each. Intramural championshipT-shirts were awarded to the individual male and female winners as well as the four teammates with the highest scores in the team competition. The top four members from Delta Chi were Jamie Guffey, Page Collie, Robert Seward and Rich Carpenter. The Boozettes top four team members included Lisa Fisher, Kim Eudy, Ann Marie Beaver and Paige Roberts. The Free-Throw tournament followed no time limits. Each participant was allowed five warm up free throws, then they started shooting the 25 free throws. The participants were allowed to bring a rebounder to help out during the competition. There were 40 participants in this year's con test, six of whom were women. "It was good to see that many women participating in the free throw tournament," said Special Events Coordinator Tim Jennings. "Considering that there was only one free throw separating the men's and women's in­ dividual champions shows that there was excel­ lent competition overall," said Jennings. Jennings said that overall the free throw tourna­ ment was a big success and attracted many fine athletes who had obviously practiced long hours on their free-throw shooting. "Given the partici­ pants and enthusiasm, both the Hot Shot and Fre<Throw competitions look to grow to even biggt and better tournaments in the future," Jenninj said. �. 7 he Appalachian, Tuesday.

THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Encroachment of the fish developers When they cry that their rights will be abridged, gun lobbyists/enthusiasts neglect the fact that careless gun wielders have taken away the right to life of countless innocent people. Without life, there aren't many other rights left to enjoy. Sure, many injuries and deaths are caused by gun wielders with malicious intentions. Gun control will not stop most of these people from carrying out their ill deeds; however, better control of firearms may reduce the availability of (stolen) handguns used for crimes. Generations ago, no one was required to have a license to drive an automobile. There was no maximum speed or minimum age limit. Anyone big enough to reach the gas and brake pedals and still see over the dashboard was allowed to drive. However, as technology developed faster vehicles and their numbers increased into the millions, regulation of driving was necessary to increase safety. Operating a motor vehicle became a responsibility with sanctions for misuse. Restrictions were rightly put on transportation developments above the horse and buggy. The Constitution hadn't specified freedom of modes of transportation; but it hadn't limited it either, because our founding fathers didn't envision transporta­ tion surpassing the perfect beast of burden, the horse. Similarly, the formers of ourcountry couldn't possibly envision the invention of the Gatling gun—much less the Uzi or Beretta. The purpose of the right to bear guns was to keep our state militia from holding our country's citizens hostage. Though the military holds us hostage financially, it couldn't conceivably force us under its guns. Can you imagine Junior holding his family at bay at gunpoint. "I'm sorry Mom, but I'll have to shoot you if you don't quit protesting the high price of tomatoes." Realistically, guns are more of a luxury than a neces­ sity for most Americans today. Most handguns would never be shot if not during target practice. Guns have their place in some homes, but their owners should be required to pass stringent requirements for Many areas of our nation have become overpopulated. In these areas, disagreements between people are the rule. If everyone were allowed to carry a gun, there would be daily homicides for matters as simple as stolen spaces in a crowded parking lot. Yet, not everyone is allowed to carry agun. There exist criteria which must be met to own a gun, much less carry One. Would NRA lobbyists insist anyone should be allowed their Constitutional right? Or do they hedge and say some people should not be allowed this right? Of course, no one—not even a gun lover—thinks everyone is qualified to carry a gun. This is not seen as unconstitutional. In truth, the right to bear arms—espe­ cially handguns—has been a limited privilege for a long time. Unfortunately, restrictions do not go far enough. I am not concerned with outlawing guns, only with creating a competent, respectful gun-possessing society. There is no reason for citizens to own riot or machine guns. There is no reason for non-hunters to own shot­ guns—or to be sold them. If any communists or other outsiders invade us, there will be no need to have an arsenal of personal weapons to resist them. If the invasion force is too big for our military might—which isn't likely—we will end up nuking them anyway. Lead bullets melt pretty easily in one million degree cross winds.

Maybe these letters will shed some light Alumnus voices SAC opposition To the Editor; This letter is to voice my opposition to the planned activity center at ASU. Chancellor Thomas says he plans to place a limit on ASU's growth and instead concentrate on providing better quality programs to a more select student body. Under Thomas' direction I have seen little indication that he is leading us in this direction. ASU seniors were told of senior gift To the Editor: As a member of the Senior Commit­ tee, and a May graduate, I feel it is within my right to respond to the derogatory letters that have been written concerning the senior gift. Members of the committee spent over 15 hours attempting to contact all seniors concerning a donation to the gift. There were also flyers in every senior's box and an eight-foot banner in the student union during our Feb. 5-8 fundraising drive. If ASU seniors did not know of our intentions, they must be deaf, dumb and blind. I challenge all who say they were uninformed about the gift to ask themselves why. Do they check their on-campus mailboxes or update their phone numbers with the university? If not, there is really no reason for their complaints. If students do not partici­ pate in regular methods of communica­ tion, then they deserve to be unin­ formed. If students do not like the idea of a senior class gift, then don't participate. Period. Or, find your own way of giving back to the university a fraction of what it has given you. In conclusion, I would like to thank all the people and organizations that have contributed to the fund. Without your gift, the statue would not be possible. If Ms. Walton would have bothered to check, she would have found that all monies over the price of the statue will go toward a scholarship fund. This way, both the campus and other students will benefit. If anyone has any suggestions about how die monies should be channeled, I'm sure the Senior Committee would appreciate any and all input. After all, the Senior Committee is here to serve the students of ASU and act as a go between to administration. April Griffin ASU Box 14782 Under Thomas, ASU has continued to expand in an area which has reached its saturation point. Parking is becoming increasingly more difficult as the landscape becomes cluttered with still more new buildings. With Thomas' insensitive removal of the Dougherty House, ASU's strongest link with its historical roots, I began to lament that I am an ASU alumnus. With the new activity center built, ASU will step closer to becoming another asphalt, glass and cement jungle, the "Bronx of the Blue Ridge." I say, "Enough!" Library holdings and quality programs are foundations of quality higher education. If Thomas wants quality, why does our library have gaping holes in its collection— foundation texts in my field, special education, are not available; even whole general-subject areas are not addressed by a single reference. This is the first area Thomas should address. The next is programs. Why has ASU lost accredita­ tion in two special education areas during the past year? We can spend our $24 million to solve more pressing problems. Maybe, starting with these. William M. Krupicka Elk Park, N.C. It seems unlikely to me that the individuals who worked on the program would intentionally leave out or attempt cheap transportation around: campus and town? to limit the positive input of their classmates. Such an action would limit the possibility of success for a project to which they have voluntarily committed their efforts. The notion that anyone would feel so strongly about the particular form the gift should take that they would seek to limit their classmates involvement is hard to accept. Does anyone really believe that Philippine mahogany panels and spiraling brass railings would require less money to operate than new buses; however, I'll wager that these trolleys would cost far more than a comparable bus. Instead of streetcars or trolleys, or even buses, I propose chair lifts criss­ crossing the campus—it seems only natural. The critics of the decision to fund the creation of the statue of DT. Dougherty have obviously thought through their objections and have been perceptive in their judgements. Their claim that Dr. Dougherty would have preferred a scholarship fund over a statue of himself is undoubtedly correct. In fact, that is exactly the conclusion that was reached by the Dougherty family. After a good deal of discussion related to their giving, the family chose to create not one but two scholarships in honor of the brothers who founded the university. Does this mean I oppose the current designation of the senior gift? No, it does not. The creation of the scholarship funds was appropriate for the family; the funding of the statue, it seems to me, is appropriate for the senior class gift This senior class gift is unique and important to the university. It is the first, or at least the first in a long time; it should be unique and visible. It offers the potential of beginning a strong tradition of giving to support the students of the future. I hope that future gifts will be directed to more benefits to students; however, it has been gratifying to see the smiles from older alumni who are obviously pleased that this class has chosen to remember the heritage of the school and to make a fitting statement to the importance of that heritage. I compliment the class of 1990. And I appreciate you; your concern, on both sides, was not whether you should help make Appalachian a better place, but how best to go about it! Dougherty statue is commendable idea To the Editor: I wish to offer some comment upon the recent notes of dissatisfaction relating to the purpose of the senior class gift. There seem to be two areas of concern: some say they were not informed, and thus denied, of the opportunity to be a part of the decision making process; others, whether they were consulted or not, feel that the direction for the use of the funds was not the most appropriate one. Wayne Clawson Director of Gift Planning ASU Foundation, Inc. Will maintenance really be cheaper ? J. Scott Seagle ASU Box 6507 Graduate Student . , A nd Speaking Of J "soul searching To the Editor: An ad that ran on page eight of last Thursday's issue of "The Appalachian" has disturbed us deeply, due to its content and the potential effect it might have on certain individuals. The ad' s rather bold headline read, "Will it take six strong men to bring you back into the church?" While bordering on poor taste, we feel that the headline is effective, even creative, and support the ad's purchaser, the Watauga Christian Center, in its decision to use this headline. The body of the ad's copy, however, not only crosses over the borders of good taste, it tramples them beyond recogni­ tion. The copy involves presumptions about the nature of life after death that might very well be not only offensive, but actually destructive to the attitudes about Christianity, or even the mental health, of persons who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one. If the promotion of Christianity requires the infliction of such pain, we may need to rethink our commit­ ment to that religion (maybe Zen Bud­ dhism...). In closing, we would like to inform the members of the Watauga Christian Center that the only way they will see us within their walls is if we are dead; better tell your six strong men to start working out In the future, please choose advertising that will better represent the "love, wor­ ship and fellowship of Jesus Christ," not portray Christians as insensitive, rigidly dogmatic idiots.

THE APPALACHIAN pQirnACC A/V«IIMAII nm<l CI inn APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday, March 15, 1990 Ai ts and Sciences dean, psychology chair resign By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences questioned Chancellor John Thomas concerning administrative involvement in the resignation of College Dean Dr. William Byrd yesterday after­ noon. According to Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost Dr. Har­ vey Durham, Byrd submitted his letter of resignation on Monday. Durham also said Psychology Department Chairman Dr. Veme Bacharach had submitted a letter to Byrd resigning his position as department chair earlier yesterday. Durham said both resignations were effective as of June 30. After Byrdopened yesterday's Arts and Sciences faculty meeting, faculty mem­ bers gave him a standing ovation as he left the floor. GraduateSchool Assistant Dean and Anthropology Professor Dr. Gregory Reck then asked Thomas to address the audience on his and Durham's involve­ ment in Byrd's resignation. Thomas responded by saying that he would not discuss the reasons for the resignation other than saying that it was a professional decision on Byrd's part to move on. Following the meeting, Durham and Thomas refused to comment as to whether die resignations were the result of admin­ istrative pressure being placed on the men. Thomas said Byrd's resignation was a personnel matter and added, "He (Byrd) is making aprofessional move." Whenasked if members of the administration had pressured Byrd to resign, Thomas said, "You couldn't get me to say that," and said that he could not comment further on the matter. Thomas added, "You will have to ask the dean (Byrd) why he is quitting." Durham said, "I am not at liberty to discuss the matter with the press or with anyone else." According to Thomas, Durham will appoint an interim dean to fill Byrd's vacancy June 1. Thomas said he would like to ask Byrd's associate dean. Dr. Donald Sink to fill the position. Also at the meeting, Thomas addressed the faculty members' concerns about the proposed student activity cehter and his administration's priorities concerning academics. William Byrd Verne Bacharach Byrd said his decision was made for professional reasons, and refused to com­ ment on whether or not he had felt any pressure from members of the administra­ tion to tender his resignation. At press time, Byrd was not available for further comment. Following yesterday's meeting, Bachar­ ach saidhe hadno comment onhis reasons for his resignation as department chair John Thomas Harvey Durham and added that he had not decided if he would also resign his professorship. Bacharach did say, however, that in the resignation letter he submitted to Byrd he "enjoyed being chair," and added, "I re­ gret the need to resign." He also refused to comment on allega­ tions that he was pressured by the admini­ stration to resign his position, but added "you can draw your own conclusions." Thomas said the North Carolina State Legislature had agreed to help fund stu­ dent activity centers at three of the 16 public universities in the state. Thomas said along with ASU, East Carolina Uni­ versity and North Carolina State Univer­ sity had also received money from the legislature to go toward the SACs. He also said that due to the reaction by students and members of the Boone com­ munity: "The legislature is taking a very close look now to see if their local delega­ tion is for (the SAC). If they are not, the money will go elsewhere (in the state)." One faculty member called the SAC a "basketball palace" and questioned Tho­ mas concerning the need for space for academic utilization. Thomas said that monies going toward the SAC would also come from student fees and needed to be "kept for the students." In other discussion,Thomas said budget restraints placed on the university system due to shortcomings in the state budget would have a serious effect on fourthquarter spending at ASU. "We are in a very severe budget crunch," he said. According to Thomas, the state is $240 million short with four months left in the fiscal year. Thomas said, "Following the end of (the third) quarter, we will be on short rations for 90 days." He also said that the shortfall would affect travel expenses among other things, and added that he was not sure if it would affect faculty salary increases. Four year degree thing of the past? By DAVID S. GRIFFIN Appalachian Staff Writer Few college students are earning their degrees in the traditional four years these days. Fifteen and a half percent of the stu­ dents who entered college in 1980 re­ ceived their degrees after four years, a study released Feb. 13 by a privatecollege association reported. In comparison, 31 percent of the stu­ dents who entered ASU graduated within "There are a lot of interruptions that students face," Sharp said. "Many stu­ dents participate in internships which take time away from school. Also, more stu­ dents are taking time off so they can work and pay their own way through school. This makes it hard to graduate within four years." Sharp said many students find that it is difficult to choose a major early enough in their college careers to graduate on time. Senior graphic design major Corey B. Marion said he found himself in that situ­ ation. "Courses like accounting, for instance, are very dif­ ficult to complete in four years, unless a student goes to summer school" Dr. Bobby H. Sharp Director of Institutional Research Appalachian Photo bv Keith Harrison J Break?: Following classes every afternoon, students are taking advantage of Pebeautiful weather by laying out in the sun, playing football and volleyball, andsome students even study outside. The sunny weather will not last much longer, so students should get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather while they have the chance. four years, according to the office of Insti­ tutional Research. Director of Institutional Research, Dr. Bobby H. Sharp attributes the low per­ centage of graduation in four years to several factors. "A lot has to do with the curriculum itself," Sharp said. "Courses like accounting, for instance, are very difficult to complete in four years, unless students go to summer school." "This is my fifth year at ASU and I came here with a semester's worth of credit," Marion said. "I was going to be a computer information systems major. But because of required courses just to be accepted into the College of Business, I didn't find out until too late that (being a computer information systems major) wasn't the direction in which I wanted to go," he added. Scales, Ghent stake claim as sole presidential ticket for '90-'91 By RAE BEASLEY Assistant News Editor This year's SGApresidcntiaI\viccpresij^tial race will be run as usual, even °ugh there is only one ticket, campaign"^kction officials said.

"We're shocked that we are running againist anybody, however tvil) approach this election as if we were i • tunning aganist the toughest ticket - ^tnpus," Ghent said. Both Ghent and Scales said they had considered running for the SGA positions last year at election time and had gotten together on the idea earlier this year. "We have worked long and hard on this idea. This wasn't something that we decided at the last moment," Scales said. Ghent added: "We work well together as a team. We are encouraging the idea of a team concept." Scales and Ghent said they pian to work on the current parking situation, promote environmental awarenesss, examine pos­ sibilities for C-option housing, develop safety awareness on campus, create an outdoor forum for students to discuss ideas, protest tuition increases, promote active involvement among students, and expand academic resoures. Other suggestions Scales and Ghent have made include airing SGA meetings on Appalnet, the establishing of an out­ door marquis to advertise student events, and requesting faculty to submit syllabi for a professor's guide. Scales said: "We plan to do everything on the platform. We can be held accountable for it." According to Scales and Ghent, they will be addressing 40 groups in the next few weeks to hear ideas and to tell stu­ dents about their platform. Ghent said that by giving 11,000 stu­ dents the opportunity to air their ideas, SGA could have its most productive year ever. "We dont want to limit ourselves to the platform,"Ghent said. Scales added,"We are open-minded to criticism and we are willing to listen to comments that are made agaist our ideas." Scales also said theirnumber one prior­ ity this year would be to represent the students. "Personal views should not play a part in SGA at all. Our job is to sternly support what the majority of the students feel is appropriate for the university," Ghent said. SGA Vice President Patrick Wooten said: "The election is cut and dry. For the Scales and Ghent ticket to be unopposed is a double edged sword." Wooten added "The positive aspect is they will be able torelax through the entire election. The negative aspect is that they will be more closely scrutinized next year because there was no one else to choose from." hcket.CandlateS: M'ke Scales 31X1 Daryl Ghent "e currenlly ^only candidates for the 1990-91 prSSS ^I7v^^fi �The Appalachian.

ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor I had "St. Elmo's Fire" on my mind this morning when I woke up, and that's always a horrible way to start the day. I started to make little comparisons between environment and the movie sef, between familiar faces and the characters in the movie. It my was all hitting a little too close to home; this was all way too familiar. I had begun to scare myself. I turned on the TV—'The Price Is Right" was die best I could find. MTV was showing Peter Frampton. Alice Cooper and The Bee Gees have "come back" (from what? The dead?). The Sex Pistols' screams of "no future, no future" at the end of "God Save the Queen" hit the nail on the head—they had their eyes on 1990. 'Twas their little inside joke. I examine the past 24 hours: dodging (verbal) bullets flying 'round the Student Union, babbling in the Sweet Shop, sitting in a dorm lobby for 45 minutes—I must still be asleep, right? Reading grown-up comics and 100-yearold French literary statements are not a good combo for this mind. It's been a weird day. You owe it to yourself to see "The Hunt for Red October." The film version of one of the bestselling novels of the last decade has finally made it to celluloid, and even if its cold-war plot may soon be (or already is) a bit of anachronism, it still makes for exciting viewing. The plot deals with a new Russian missile submarine, the Red October, which is equipped with a nearly silent propulsion system. The offi­ cers of the sub, led by the infamous captain Marko Ramius, decide to defect, but they cannot make their intentionsdirectly known to the United States. So the officers of the sub must escape their own Navy, get to the U.S. Navy, and arrange to unload its crew and deliver the sub intact without letting their own government know that they're doing it. While the movie's version differs slightly from and is much less complex than the novel's, readers of the book will not feel at all surprised by events unfolding in the film. insurance salesman, was on the hot guest list all over the country, including the White House, whose occupant Clancy rather blindly idolizes. The resources this nearly guaranteed success provided for McTiernan musthave come in handy. Clancy's novel depends on incredibly specific technical details and big, big action sequences for much of its gripping power. That kink of filming relies on very expensive animation techniques or on-location, live-action Shots that require full-size mock-ups and are difficult or impossible to ar­ range. "Red October" uses both of these, to darn good effect; the animation is often detectable as such, but it doesn't detract from the enjoyment of watching the plot unfold. Perhaps the chief joy of the novel is that very plot. Clancy's Achilles' heel as a writer seems to be that he can advance plot very well, orhe can use language, a.k.a. "write," very well; he can't for the life of him seem to combine the two. The movie, however, masks some of that deficiency since it has to trim the plot significantly to fit within two hour and 10 minutes, anyway. Also, the visual John McTiernan, the director of "Die Hard," aspect of the narrative is provided rather than walked onto this project with a guaranteed, built- imagined; this sidesteps many of Clancy's mini­ in audience and therefore a big store of capital mal shortcomings. from its backers. After all, the Tom Clancy book took the world by storm when it debuted in 1984, The occasional thinness of his language is ech­ and soon after its publication Clancy, a former oed to a certain extent in the characters repre­ Er...back to the subject at hand. Why this secret fascination with The tendency exhibited in the film with all the characters is to inserta single trademark symbol or behav ior by which we can divine their nature, then move on. It's almost as if the rest of the film is an afterthought, secondary to the almighty plot. Perhaps this isn't so surprising, considering the source. The film's adaptation of Clancy's story departs in a few significant ways, but most noticeable is an expansion of one Soviet officer's role. Unfortu­ work which manages to keep its viewers wrapped up in its world for the duration. The film has drawn criticism for the now-unrealistic atmosphere of contention between the U.S.A. and the Soviet Union, and its rather two-dimensional good guy/ bad guy representation of East-West relations. Well, perhaps. But the source material is, while excellent, plainly biased in this way; in other words, it comes with the territory. So relax, get tense and enjoy "The Hunt for Red October." New restaurant/nightclub looks like a sure winner "St. Elmo's Fire?" Well, it's such a neat movie, because it is so artfully miserable. Just like the DAVID ALSTON sented in the film.

Anyway, the second time during this badly crazed afternoon "St...."—that movie—was mentioned was in the aftermath of a newspaper article. Someone in the room mentioned some­ thing about a brother's friend who—several years ago—switched parties and became a young Republican after being elected to some obscure SGA position. Someone else made a ludd Nclson?"St. Elmo's Fire" comparison, and the cat was out of the proverbial bag. "Drive-by shooting." "Son, you got a panty on your head." V Mmmnirn. This pair of lines is just floating in my notebook—I think there's a direct connec­ tion with "Raising Arizona," which I watched two nights in a row at an obscenely late hour— the nights preceding the horrible, twisted "St. Elmo's" dream (If you have never seen or heard °f the movies "St. Elmo's Fire" or "Raising Arizona," just give up now.

The Terrapins compiled an 18-11 record through the course of the season, defeating both Virginia and North C arolina (who were invited to the tourney) | twice. Earlier this year the Terps were found to have been in violation of some NCAA rules while under the direction of Coach Bob Wade, but the penalty of being unable to play in the NCAA tournament was not supposed to be enforced until next season. Apparently, this year's selection committee took it upon themselves to throw Gary Williams' squad behind bars a year 0% KURT C. WARD early. Maryland should have been a shooin, when you consider that the committee gave Notre Dame an atlarge bid. The Irish finished 16-12 and lost twice to DePaul, another impressive team that was over­ looked. Another ACC team that got the shaft was Georgia i ech. The 24-6 Yellow Jackets took the ACC tournament crown, yet they were seeded lower than Duke who they dropped in the semi-finals. The Blue Devils have also lost four out of their last six contests. By being seeded fourth in die Southeast Regional, the Tech squad will be forced to play the Southern Conference champion squad of East Tennessee State. ETSU knocked off North arolina State earlier this year and have proved they can play in the NCAA, losing by just one to first-seeded Oklahoma a year ago. The Buccaneers are also aided by the location of the ontest, which is Knoxville, Tenn. This closeness will allow the Buc faithful to fill the coliseum and put the crowd in ETSU's favor. This disadvantage should not have been placed on the higher seeded Yellow Jackets. Clemson was also placed too low in their region, the East. Despite being the ACC's regular season champions, the Tigers (24-8) were seeded fifth in their region, behind Duke, which was third. The Clemson squad, which put together its first ACC title, has been virtually ignored by the polls all year, never breaking into the top 15. While Tech and Clemson were placed too low in their respective regions, the Tarheels of North Carolina were seeded a little too high. The Heels finished the season with a 19-12 record and were seeded eighth in the West. If you look solely at records, only two teams in the region have fewer wins, 16th seeded Towson State (18-12) and 11th seeded Kansas State (1714). Despite being seeded higher than they deserved, the UNC squad was sent a great distance away from home. The Heels will have to open action in Austin, Texas as part of the Midwestern Region. The other ACC squad to receive an at-Iarge bid was Virginia. The Cavaliers (19-11) will be trying to take the crown from the seventh seed in the Southeast Regional. The Cavs earned the honor of a bid by surviving all the way to the final game of the conference tourney, and they will be trying to bring home the bacon for out­ going coach Terry Holland. Even though they sent more teams all but two other conferences (Big Ten with seven and the Big East, six), the ACC should have had six The Lady Mountaineers kept their season alive by capturing the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment, thus receiving their first ever bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Lady Apps received a bye in the first round of the tourney after finishing in second place for the regular season. In the semifinal game, ASU faced the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. The Lady Apps played conservatively and were able to pull through with a three-point field goal at the buzzer, defeating the Lady Mocs 70-67. The Lady Mocs refused to allow ASU to get far out of reach and even grabbed a four-point lead at 13:48 in the first half. The score remained close as the Lady Apps managed to grab a 30-25 advantage at the 3:05 mark with a basket from Shannon Thomas in the paint. UTC pulled back and trailed by a point at the half, 30-29. In the second half, Smith scored 3 straight baskets for the Lady Mocs, pushing them into the lead at 35-30. ASU fell behind and forced Coach Linda Robinson to call a timeout. The Lady Mountaineers pulled back to tie 37-37 at 16:45 on a turnaround jumper by Thomas followed by one from Cunningham. Point guard Karen Gruca banked in a threepoint field goal at the buzzer to push the Lady Apps to a 70-67 victory. Gruca said, "We were care who does what—they just work together. We have the smallest inside players in the league, but we'll put them upagaiast anybody, because they 're quick and smart. Wc take so much pride in our post players." going to Shannon (Thomas), but I got the loose ball and threw it up. There's always a chance." Thomas, who scored scored 34 points, said, "My teammates helped me. I guess last year's situation with UTC gave me more incentive this year." Connecticut. I'm already counting UNC out. But Dean Smith has put together some great tournament teams in the past, and they could surprise me P Jimma (Smith) is a really intelligent, tremen­ dous athlete, and I was not surprised to see this performance from her." Smith had 15 points, 10 rebounds and two assists in the Championship game. According to Coach Robinson, "nothing hap­ pened the easy way tonight. I'm proud of this team. They bounced back after various players picked up key fouls in the first half. These kids have heart and pride." "This team wanted to do this for the other teams sitting at home.

ASU advances to final, then falls to ETSU By PATRICK WOOTEN Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU men's basketball team made thenway into the Southern Conference Tournament championship game with wins over the Citadel and Furman, but East Tennessee State shot down the Apps' dreamof a Southern Conference Cham­ pionship in the final game. In the quarter-final round of the tournament ASU defeated The Citadel 86-71. The game was closer than the score reflects. ASU took an early 5-2 lead overThe Citadel,on a Rodney Peel three-pointer and two Ben Miller foul shots. During the remainder of the first half neither team was able to gain a decisive advantage, with the largest point margin of the half being a21 13 Citadel lead. The half ended with The Citadel leading by two, 40-38. ASU was fortunate to be that close at halftime, because The Citadel shot 56 percent from the field, 57 percent from three-point land and 89 percent from the foul line. The Mountaineers' statistics were notnearly as impressive as they shot 48 percent from the field, 33 percent from behind the three-point and 40 percent from the foul line. Citadel head coach Randy Nessbit said after the game, AS U showed a lot of determination in the first half. To be down only two points at halftime was excellent." The second half started with an ASU team that was on fire. The Mountaineers outscored The Citadel 21-10 over the first 7:32. That burst gave ASU a 59-50 lead and they never looked back. During that 21 point spurt, ASU was led by Sam Gibson s lOpointsandKempPhillips'eightpoints. During the remainder of the game The Citadel was unable to close the scoring gap any closer than four points. When the horn sounded, ASU had taken the 86-71 win over The Citadel. The Mountaineers posted some impressive sta­ tistics in the second half. They shot 59 percent from the field, 60 percent from three-point range and 72 percent from the foul line. Following the game, ASU Basketball Coach Tom Apke said, "It wasn't easy, but our guys played hard and they have decided not to end the season on a downer by losing in the first round of the tournament." The Mountaineers were led by Kemp Phillips, with 26 points, three rebounds, four assists and two steals; Sam Gibson with 20 points, 10 re­ bounds and one block; and Broderick Parker with 17 points, seven rebounds and three steals. The game was a significant one for the Moun­ taineers. It was their first victory in the conference tournament in three years. The win gave Coach Apke his 250th career victory. In the semifinal game the Mountaineers took on the Furman Paladins, a team they had not beaten in nine games. ASU dominated this game from the start. The Mountaineers won every thing possible, includ­ ing the opening tipoff and cruised to a 79-62 victory. ASU took an early 5-0 lead on a Gibson layup and a Phillips three-pointer. The Apps stretched their lead to as many as 14 points during tire first half, but only led 38-32 at halftime. The weight room was closed early to allow the 14 participants to warm-up and prepare for the competition. Tim Jennings, Special Events Coor­ dinator, was in charge of organizing the meet. He hopes that the awareness of powerlifting will continue to grow, allowing the competition to remain an annual event. Kevin Fox was the overall Intramural Powerlifting winner, with a total of 825 pounds. Fox's maximum bench press for the evening was 325 pounds. This lift, combined with a 500 pound squat, enabled Fox to capture the 200-pound weight class, along with the overall title. Fox stressed the importance of a drug free competition and gave iod credit for his strength and the ability to compete in athletics. He also gave special thanks to Gene Howell and his training partner John Riedel. The individual weight class winners all com­ peted for an Intramural Champion t-shirt. Marcus Roseman was the winner in the 132-pound weight class with a total of430 pounds, including a 190pound bench press and a 240-pound squat. Les Wan was the 148-pound weight class winner. His bench press of 275 pounds, combined with a 300pound squat, lifted him to the top of his class. The 161 -pound title was captured by Joe Perry, with a total of 680 pounds. The 220-pound class found Kevin Taylor as the victor, with a 250-pound bench and a 500-pound squat equaling a 750 pound total lift. Participants could only compete in the weight classification for which they qualified. Each indi­ vidual was required to participate in both the _bench press and the squat competition.

Furman head coach Sherry Carter said, "The first half we didn't take our time, we rushed shots and took poor percentage shots. Also, defense was not aggressive.

ETSU outscored the Mountaineers 4923 over the final 17:04 of the first half. The Buccaneers shot 57.6 percent from the field, 85.7 percent from three-point land and 87.5 percent from the foul line in the opening half. ETSU shot 53.3 percent from the field for the game, 75 percent from three-point land and 82 1 percent from the foul line. The statistics of ETSU were not the only thing that beat ASU. The Mountain­ eers were also hurt by an injury to starting center Sam Gibson. Gibson was injured at the 16:01 mark of the first half, when he crashed to the floor after attempting to pull down a rebound. The injury to Gi­ bson seemed to take the air out of the Mountaineers. It was following this in­ jury that ETSU went on their scoring outburst. The ASU statistics show that it simply was not their night. The Mountaineers only shot 36.4 percent from the field, 21.1 percent from behind the three-point arc and 65.2 percent from the foul line. Apke summed it up when he said, "I'm disappointed because we didn't play as well as I thought we were capable of." Apke added, "We battled back in the second half and I'm proud of the team's effort.

Congratulations Apps In a time when college athletics have come under national scrutiny ASU' s men s and women s basketball teams should be commended for the positive publicity they have brought to the university from their performances in the recent Southern Conference Tournament. The Lady Mountaineers won both the tournament and the automatic NCAA tournament bid that goes to the conference champion. In addition, sophomore Shannon Thomas and senior Glenda Cunningham were named to the all-tournament first team, and senior Jimma Smith was named to the second team. The Lady Mountaineers, who finished second in the regular season, have won more than just tournament honors. Cunningham was named Southern Conference Player ol the Year, and was the only unanimous choice for AllConference first team honors. Thomas was named to the second team. When the Lady Mountaineers make their first-ever NCAA tournaincnt appearance, ASU will benefit from the exposure. The men's team also aided the university in gaining national exposure. Although the men's team did not prevail in the conference championship, they made it to the nationally televised contest against regular season champion East Tennessee State University. Although some people were disappointed in the men's overall perform­ ance this year, the team fought admirably in the tournament and came away with runner-up honors. With recent allegations of wrongdoing at N.C. State, the University of Maryland, Syracuse University, the University of Illinois and others, many arc questioning the role of athletics in the university community. Yet Appalachian has received no such negative publicity, and seems to run clean programs in all of its athletics. This is a credit to the athletic director's office and individual coaching staffs. With'ASU's'succdsses in basketball and football, die university is receiv­ ing beneficial Coverage. The teams are essentially putting ASU on die map. In addition, next year the football team may appear on national television with the homecoming game. It is to be hoped that these recent successes will continue, and the program will continue their seemingly violation-free ways. The lecture began with Erwin attacking the miscon­ ception that people ofcolor feel they should be identified with a specific name (i.e. black, colored, African, AfroAmerican). He felt that as members of the United States of America, we should all be called simply Americans. Next, Erwin explained his concept of "twilight zone­ ness": the feeling of an inferior people that all life is not what it appears; a mixed signal of sorts. Twilight zone­ ness involves one society's attempt to patronize another to make them only feel that they are part of a majority, when in reality they are something quite less. Black History Month is a prime example of this kind of patronization. Why do we celebrate Black History Month? Haseverything we, as a race, have accomplished been done in the month of February?The logical answer is no. Erwin expressed that, as a race, we must honor our People of Color who are noted persona, not because of the color of their skin, but because they best exemplify the traits our society has deemed necessary to hold their particular personages. To truly excel with the realization of our heritage, Erwin feels that we must have leadership, which he submitted in the competition for nationals, they were judged upon how well they worked the crowd. Now, I believe that our cheerleaders do an excellent job, considering the material they have to wofi^ with.-When fc ASU played N.C, State, State's cheerleaders did not show up. (They were practicing for a competition.) Our squad has their priorities straight—they practice for every game. students apathetic To the Editor: By GARY LARSON Several things have appeared recently in "The Appalachian" that I feel have to be addressed. First is the student activi­ ties center. Second is the column by Kurt Ward in the Feb. 27 issue and third is the extreme lack of coverage of our non-revenue sports. First, the student activities center is needed. How many groups have tried to reserve Varsity Gym only to be told that it was unavailable? The new center will free up Varsity Gym for intramurals and open courts. Basketball, indoor track and wrestling would all move and benefit from the new center. The money, appropriated by the N.C. legislature, cannot be used by ASU in any other way except for the student center. Now, what are we going to do, hand it back and say, "Sorry, we can't use this money because it is not for books?" In the world of politics you lake what you can get when you can get it. If attendance goes, we haven't enjoyed many basketball sellouts. Did anyone stop and consider that one reason many locals don't come is because of the seats that hurt their backs? One other complaint is parking. You have to park and then walk a mile to see the game. When we get the student center, the seating will be better, and so will parking. One more thing to consider: Western Carolina, with an enrollment half that of ASU, frequently gets bigger entertainers. They have the brand new Ramsey Center which is good for concerts. All we have is Varsity Gym, which stinks for concerts. Now, regarding Kurt Ward's column "Poor Cheers Kill Spirit." It shows that Kurt Ward has not been to many "This dangerous viper, known for its peculiar habit of tenaciously hanging from one's nose, is vividly colored.'... Oh! Murray! Look!... Here's a picture of it!" G. Charles Person Student activity centers on keeping rights Varsity gym makes THE FAR SIDE There are two forces which greatly affect the lives of these students. The first is cultural. Erwin stated: "As members of a multi-cultural society, we seek approval and pray for acceptance. For these reasons, we often make changes in our morals, attitudes, values and behav­ iors based on the perceived right way to do things." "We need to know from whence we came to know where we're going. We need to be proud of who we are in order to feel good about where everyone else is going. There ought to be a swelling within our hearts when we think about "people of color" whose achievements have paved the way for all mankind." The last force is, naturally, the one that I feel has the biggest effect on young Americans of color: the educa­ tional force. Today, greed and the will to be socially described as "the ability, skill, knowledge and traits accepted have led most minorities away from the field of necessary to lead a group."He also stated, "If you're truly academia. With smaller numbers of positive role models proud (of your heritage), you can first accept who you are everyday, our youth have virtually no respect for the and, secondly, accept others, regardless of who they may world of education. Too many other material things hold be." Until we realize that we must do things because of precedence over their lives. They do not realize, when who we are and not what we are, we will not excel. they stray from their education, that they are destroying Probably the most profound area in the lecture was their chances to become a real part of a successful society. Erwin's "Seven Forces that Have Direct Input on Our Erwin ended by saying, "It is vital to raise the level of Lives." These forces were social, economical, political, black leadership awareness, for we are a vanishing spe­ environmental, technological, cultural and educational. cies." He feels we are vanishing because of the following Erwin stressed"where we live or what our neighborhood reasons: looks like—environmental forces—should not enforce We have allowed ourselves to be convinced we are personal or social attitudes, but technological forces socially accepted. should influence our personal and social goals." We have forgotten from whence we have come. Computers in the 90s will be the primary means of We do not wish to be identified with the downtrodden. communication. Without access to information, the We have allowed our youth to become lackadaisical, "People of Color" will be one more step down the road to with no desire to strive. cultural illiteracy.

Southern Conference events. One question I have is how he can intelli­ gently question a subject about which he admits he has little experience. If one will notice, we have the best cheerlead­ ers in the Southern Conference. The movements are precise, that's true. However, in the videotape that they This brings us to our fans. With the possible exception of a small group of devoted students, I believe that a baseball bat to the side of the head would fail to motivate our fans. We have some of the most apathetic fans in the conference. When they demonstrate signs of life, it is usually for short periods. There have also been several occasions this season when the referee has come to my scorer's table and threatened us with a technical foul. Throwing things on the court is immature and potentially harmful. Considering the season, I believe our cheerleaders do a fine job at basketball games, the best in the conference, and their trip to the national's competition is a just reward. One other item in Tuesday's issue greatly disturbed me. there was not any mention of the wrestling match over the weekend. This points out a major flaw in the coverage of sports. Too often, the results of wrestling, track, baseball, and other sports are left out. Instead of devoting column space to the World Series or the Super Bowl, why don't you devote that space to track or wrestling? I mean, if I want to read about the World Series, it is not going to be in "The Appalachian." The walk-on programs available are also topical. How about talking with Coach Mance about the upcoming conference wrestling tournament? I'm also sure Coach Mance would love to talk about any game. Instead of spending time concerning non-issues, you should serve you function as a school paper and cover what's here. If you can do that successfully, then you can go out and cover the Oakland A's. Michael W. Greene ASU Box 18316 Students question management policy To the Editor: This letter is in reference, in part to an ad run by College Place Apartments in the Feb. 27 issue of The Appala­ chian." As far as we know the complex is not under new ma: ment, for it has been managed by the same person for at least the last two years. One problem that we are faced with is the condition and accessability of the pool and hot tub. The hot tub and clubhouse are repeatedly closed during posted hours, and the pool has not been heated. The surrounding grounds and parking areas arc usually unkepl, with trash lying around. When we moved into our apartment, it was in complete disarray; the apartment had not been cleaned, the previous occupants left food in the refrigerator and dirty razors and bars of soap in the showers. The carpet was also soiled and was not cleaned until six months after we moved in. A large damaged area in the ceiling still has not been repaired and during hurricane Hugo the size doubled; the paint is peeling off and mold surrounds the damage. We have consistently requested since moving in that the unsightly damage be repaired; we are repeatedly assured that it will soon be repaired. We are writing this letter to direct attention to the misleading ad and to inform potential apartment renters as to the current condition of College Place Apartments. We urge all students inquiring about apartments to closely inspect the overall conditions and quality of any apartment complex. Jason Emmert ASU Box 18503 McRae Hilliard ASU Box 17625 Chris Koppelman ASU Box 06195 Chris Ollis ASU Box 05523 Students praised for fighting back To the Editor: I wish to salute the Appalachian students who protested die building of an ASU sports center. How encouraging to see a generation of young adults who value education over sports. Maybe we do have hope for the future! The last two generations have elevated sports both in high school and college to be the number one priority. Million dollar high school stadiums are being built before needed classrooms. Americans from the president to the man on the street complain that our youth are not educated, even though we spend enough money to do an adequate job. But they fail to note how much of that money is directed toward sports. Why can't people in government and higher education look beyond sports to the needs of the larger university? Yes, money is the bottom line and sports complexes bring in money. How much return are we getting on the investment in sports? Becky Wheeler Winston-Salem Negative opinions should be reserved To the Editor: I admit excitement and disappoint­ ment every February when the Acad­ emy Award nominations are released, but is this a relevant commentary subject? A simple column in Diversions would have sufficed. I even wonder if the angry Mark Sandlin saw a majority of the films that were nominated. Nevertheless, I take issue with many points of the March 1 editorial commen­ tary. "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "E.T. The Extraterrestial" were both nomi­ nated for many awards including best picture and best director; they just did not win any of these "important" awards. Jack Nicholson was fun in "Batman," but if you think make-up and histrionics is great acting then you should rethink your aesthetics. Nicholson was having a good time, but he certainly was not stretching artisti­ cally. Go see him in "Five Easy Pieces" or "Prizzi's Honor" if you want great acting. For that matter, go see Daniel Day Lewis in "My Left Foot." There is great acting, and this performance was nominated. What distresses me most about this rather ill-informed commentary was the attack on the academy as a racist institution. "The Color Purple" was not a film neglected due to racism. If anything, the film's portrayal of black suffering through Speilberg's rosecolored lens was itself racist as it chose old-world Hollywood charm (1 kept expecting Uncle Remus and a flock of cartoon bluebirds to pop out of the landscape shuffling to "Zippidee doo dah") over Alice Walker's gritty and unsentimental novel. I also agree it was a crime that "Do the Right Thing" received only one nomination (and I hold my breath with anticipation that Lee will receive the original screenwriting award), but to call the academy's neglect a crime of racism is both uninformed and disap­ pointingly juvenile. Lee's film obvi­ ously moved you; it certainly moved me. I'm not sure if a bag of Oscars will change that.

In a report delivered at the meeting, SG ASenator StevenSchmotzer presented his findings on coastruction of the pro­ posed student activities center. Schmotzer said he had met earlier in the week with Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette and Chancellor John Thomas to discuss the facility. The student activities center is sched­ uled to be built in the area behind Kidd Brewer Stadium commonly known as "Upper Kidd Brewer Field." According to Schmotzer's report, the proposed site had been reserved by the university for such construction. Schmotzer added, "That hill was planned for future building (by the university) anyway." He also said that grading of the hill will be kept to a minimum. Schmotzer noted that in the plans for future buildings was a natural science research facility that is to be built behind the proposed student activities center. Schmotzer said the SAC will help the physical education department by allow­ ing it to have full use of both Broome-Kirk and Varsity gymnasiums. He said this would help the department to centralize and give the students greater use of the facilities. According to Schmotzer, ath­ letic offices will in turn be moved to the SAC. Schmotzer said, "Office space in (the SAC) will be incredible." He also noted that the 11,584-seat arena which is pro­ posed for the SAC will include'2,000 seats that can be retracted for concert use. According to Schmotzer, Trivette had said earlier that the university needed a facility that would grow as it did. Schmotzerreportcd that the site is sched­ uled to be graded in February of 1991, with completion of the facility scheduled for sometime in 1994. In his report, Schmotzer also noted that the university will replace the wooden bleachers located on the visitors side of Kidd Brewer Stadium with aluminium bleachers. According to Schmotzer, this is being done for safety reason and also because it was felt by university officials that the older bleachers were becoming something of an eyesore. According to Schmotzer, the cost to replace the bleachers is approximately 538,000. In other business, senate members passed the constitution of the Student Athletic Trainer's Association. It was also noted that A.P.P.S. is planning a benefit concert for Grandfather Moun­ tain. Students beware: laws will be strictly enforced over break By BETH RIDGILL Appalachian Staff Writer The resort area of Key West, Fla. has asked universities and colleges to encour­ age students to spend spring break else­ where this year. As a result of damages that occurred when 20,000 students vacationed on the 2-by-5 mile island lastyear, Key Westcity manager Ron Herron sent letters to 210 college and university officials asking them to help control the number of people who vacation in the Keys this year. To cut down on the percentage of vaca­ tioners, university officials were asked to point out other resort areas that might be of interest to students, and to supply vaca­ tioners with a few facts about the city. According to Herron, Key West has the highest cost of living in Florida, and stu­ dents wishing to spend time there will find a hotel/motel room for no less than $ 100 a night. Herron also said Key West main­ tains one camping facility that is usually full, and camping on the beach or sleeping in automobiles is not permitted. Two resort areas which welcomespring break tourists are Daytona Beach and Myrtle Beach. According to the Daytona Police De­ partment, the city wants students to feel they can come to this Florida resort area and enjoy a well-deserved vacation, but they say they also want to make people aware that a task force to ask students to behave civilly has been dispatched.

No matter where you go, beware. Photo" by Troy Horocfc Officials at several resort areas have warned students that laws will be strictly enforced during their visit; one resort town. Key West, Fl„ has even asked students not to come at all. As a result of the number of students vacationing in Daytona last year, the po­ lice department says the city suffered "enormous property damage, littering, alcohol violations, indifference to parking and traffic and disregard of private prop­ erty." In order to maintain Daytoria as a city that people enjoy visiting, city officials wish to make spring break vacationers aware of certain regulations that they say are to be obeyed. According to the Daytona Beach Police Department, climbing balconies is an offense that occurs every year and has resulted in the injury or death of the indi­ viduals who engage in this activity. The police department said balcony climbing is illegal and those who participate will be arrested. The police department said Daytona Beach is one of the few beaches on the East coast that vehicles are permit­ ted to drive on, added that tourists should keep in mind that the speed limit on the beach is 10 mph at all times. They also add that driving on soft sand, in the water, or at night is prohibited. Police officials also said that sleeping or camping on the beach is not permitted, and animals of any kind arc strictly forbidden. They added, hitch­ hiking, littering, trespassing, camying and consuming alcoholic beverages in public, whether the individual is 21 or not, is also illegal. According to the Myrtle Beach Police Department, violations of drug-related laws are some of the most common of­ fenses which occur in that area over the spring break period. They added that if found guilty, the offender can be sen­ tenced to a maximum of 30 days in jail and/or fines of up to $210 for possession or use of any drug paraphernalia. Consumption of alcoholic beverages in public places is also prohibited, the police department said and added that there are laws that prohibit sleeping on die beach or in automobiles after 9 p.m. The Myrtle Beach Police added that riding on portions of a vehicle which are not designated for passengers, carrying weapons, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and trespassing are also strictly prohibited.

According to the manufacturers, the Hurricane Express comes with brass rail­ ings, a brass conductor's bell, red oak panelling, slatted oak seats, and a vertical drop window design.

This transit bus can hold 20 to 25 passengers, and has air conditioning. When asked what the main reason for purchasing one of these vehicles would be, Turner said he hopes a trolley or bus would renew interest in, and induce more people to use, the AppalCART system. "It would be something people could ride for fun." He also stated that any one of these vehicles, if purchased, would require less maintenance, less money to operate, and would last longer than the AppalCART mini-buses now in use. As for performance in Boone's inclem­ ent weather, both transit bus manufactur­ ers state that their vehicles are made to meet rigorous demands. While the trolley manufacturers state that their products are tough enough to survive the rigors of everyday mass transportation.Turner said both trolleys would be weathcrized to stand up against the cold. If approved,thenew trolleyor bus would not arrive until next spring at the earliest, according to Turner. He said what is needed now is a show of support for the troject.

Cash and Express Accounts Accepted — 1 �V V DIVERSIONS The Appalachian, Thursday, March 1,1990 Beating dead musicians Alternative duo sings weird song By DOV SHERMAN Appalachian SUIT Writer I originally set out (here) to draft a neat little piece of informative rock'n'roll journalism. I had what I was convinced was a fantastic "idea (uh-oh) about new CD re-releases. Unfortu­ nately, the re-releases are CD's by Wire, The Flamin'Groovies, Killing Joke, Savage Republic, The Buzzcocks, Throbbing Gristle, Eno, King Crimson, Ian Hunter and David Bowie. With the exception of Bowie, it would (for the most part) be a review of the alien-stuff that is unrecognizable to pretty much everyone reading this newspaper. Oh well - some music is just going to be popular and some isn't, and I'm starting to accept that's just the way it is. The fact that ev­ ery time I turn on the radio and I hear the same thing being played in a different way is, I guess, my problem. In some cases, having a sealed tomb of a mind has its own set of advantages. It cuts out a lot of the frustration and irritation that arises from thinking too much. Why use your head? Just play it safe, play by the rules, get by and grow into a real life version of the "Married...With Children" scenario. In music and radio, this undue fondness for playing it safe means repeating yourself. Ninetynine percent of the radio stations— actually, no, 100 percent of the radio stations within receiving range might as well play one song a day, over and over again, ad nauseum. Rock'n'roll used to exciting; rebelEon may be a stance, but it has some meaning, and popular music—music of the radio—should say something to you. However, most of it actually alienates me. Today, popular music is sleazy dancers, leather pants, disco crooners painted blue, and play-it-by-the-numbers stairstep guitar solos thai probably have Hendrix turning in his grave. This packaged music—music from the boardroom—is not rock'n'roll. I don't know what it is (I have a few unprintable ideas), but it isn t rock'n'roll. There's nothing original, fun, entertaining, rebellious, cool or daring (insert your own adjective) about repetitive yodeling from brain-dead geriatrics who should've taken their riches and retired years ago, instead of hying to prove to the world that they aren't miserable has-beens. 1 know I'm flogging a dead horse here. Some of us are so insanely desperate to get back to a lime before we were born (and, of course, the msic from that time) that we are willing to let Ihe most dismal, diluted versions of the past be thoved down our throats by people who really could care less—just as long as you pay for that •icket and don't make copies of that CD for all of your friends. For example, when I saw a •crtain ex-Beatle's VISA commercial, I think I what little bit of respect I had left for him. The term "sell-out" is so cliched and overbut how did it get so overused? There are "Kerns. With every time I have been subjected £ The Delicate Sound Of A Lightshow," the 1re I have become convinced that Roger 1% hit the nail upon the head when, a few aters ^ars back, he referred to Pink Floyd as a "spent alive force." I'll bet that last album reduced Ike original Pink, Syd Barrett (Who? Who? f ). to tears. Go figure. Most of the trouble here can be traced back to u10 and record labels. Major record labels can c original, interesting bands, and reduce them ™bble. Music corporations sole talent seems deceit and finance, and a weird ability to (lake 8°od bands and suck the life out of them. The same goes for commercial radio/video. IOWs working with or featuring new talent are Rurally relegated to unpublicised late-night "me slots Nn ^ on-commercial (i.e. college) radio stations ^ c little excuse for imitating regional mmercial stations, as they aren't accountable m Vcrt'sing and thus are free to experiment new things, mographics be damned—if The Cure, u ' '>ub"c Enemy, REM and New Order Nd sell a million records in years past on %d 0f tnoutb w plan •' hile the latest Bad Company i. cr is cruising straight into the $2.99 cut-out ||*rli"1<jn obviously some idiot is not using his/ David Alston Although this, their third album, seems to be an attempt at serous music and a political and social statement, it is still tinged with the hyperverbal, absurd lyrics and music which gave their first two albums such a bizarre quality. Among the songs composed on"Rood," "Birdhouse in Your Soul," Particle Man and "They Might Be Giants" best show the bouncy, pop sound that makes them comparable to a modern, alternative version of XTC. Birdhouse in Your Soul" has an accompany­ ing video which appears occasionally on "120 Minutes and 'Post-Modern MTV;" it features After high school, Linnell spent a year at the University ofMassachusetts playing for three years with a band called the Mundanes. Ransburgh earned a B. F. A. in printmaking from Pratt Univer­ sity in Brooklyn. In 1981, they coincidentally moved into the same Brooklyn apartment building on the same day, a coincidence which they decided meant fate had put them together. Their first performance took place at a Sandinista support rally which billed them as "El Groupo de Rock and Roll." In 1984 they named themselves They Might Be Giants after a 1972 George C. Scott movie which had taken the name from a line in "Don Quixote." They played small basement clubs and perform­ ance spaces, unable to get a recordcontract—until one day they came up with "Dial-a-Song," an answering machine on a regular phone line in Flansburgh's apartment which played a new song each day and allowed the listener to leave com­ ments after the song. Years later, the line still exists. Just call (718) 387-6962; as the Giants advertised in the"Village Voice," it's free when you call from work." In 1986, they made their debut album "They Might Be Giants" with an independent company called Bar/None. In 1988, they released"Lincoln" under Bar/None which then signedon with Enigma, the company which has now marketed their latest album, "Rood." ics claim he and his partner are "dancing on the corpse of rock 'n' roll with their unusual lyrics." "In some ways," he said: "rock music has be­ come like this giant, dead dinosaur sitting on the side of the highway, and it's surrounded by people who are looking down at it fondly. And yet, I have spent my entire life listening to rock 'n' roll and playing the electric guitar, and if I don't believe in it by now, what in God's name have I been doing with myself all these years?" Linnell explained that the two don't often col­ laborate on individual songs. "We both write songs and bring them in, and the other guy gives it the hearty thumbs up or the doleful thumbs down," Linnell said. "John is more lyric-oriented than I am, and I'm more music-oriented than he is—we work from thosedirections and go towards the middle." Linnell plays the accordion and bass saxo­ phone, Ransburgh plays guitar. They decided to use a drum machine after a year of auditioning incompatible drummers and realizing that hiring a drummer would mean paying a drummer. Flansburgh said it really angers him when crit­ In any case, "Flood" has a very strong element of fun about it, something rare in today's market. I highly recommend this album. "They Might Be Giants is available now in shopping mall record stores, under theT's," Ransburgh said with pride. "Right next to Tiffany."

Specifically, their stated goals are to prevent commercial develop­ ment of Grandfather Mountain, guarantee its pres­ ervation and promote public awareness of the problem.

Life After Lunch since its beginning six months ago. Mike Green­ span, a member of the group, said their popularity is already spreading to other campuses statewide. When asked about theirconnection to thecauses behind the show, Greenspan commented, "Every­ one in the band is really concerned about these types of issues, but we're just happy to be in a position to help these important issues." Soul Britches, another participant, has only been playing together since October of last year, but the band already possesses enough drawing power to sell out the Pub and other local venues. They play self-described "music to get high by," with large debts owed to reggae, funk and certain residents of San Francisco. In keeping with the environmentally conscious Haight-Ashbury stereotype, the band feels very strongly about our environment, particularly Grandfather Mountain, which is currently threat­ ened with resort-style development. Member Billy Ross said: "Grandfather is a very spiritual and special place that I spend a lot of time at. I believe its development would not only be detrimental to the environment, but to all of those who enjoy its beauty." In full agreement are the members of Life After Lunch, four veteran musicians. Together since early 1988, Life After Lunch is made up of people who have been active separately on the area music scene for some time before, and have demon­ strated staying power indicative of their abilities. The band plays "high-energy progressive" music which should round out the evening's selection nicely. Proceeds from the concert will go to support SAVE and Friends of Grandfather Mountain, two The show will be held at Legends on Mar. 15; doors will open at 8:30 p.m. and Life After Lunch will start off at 9 p.m., followed by Soul Britches. The Scene will close the show. Tickets will be available today and next week during normal student union ticket booth operat­ ing hours; they will also be available at the door. Prices are $5 for students and $6 for guests. Another local artist. Doc Watson, will be host­ ing a benefit concert in Wilkesboro on the last weekend in April; however, Mar. 10 is the last day to get discounted three-day passes for the show. The show, which will feature some of the best bluegrass, folk and country musicians alive, is being held in memoryof Merle Watson, Doc's son and a brilliant bluegrass player in his own right. Merle died in a farm accident some years ago; all proceeds from the show will go to help fund the Eddy Merle Watson Garden for the Senses, a part of the Wilkes Community College Gardens. The Watson Garden will feature highly fragrant and tactile flowers placed on raised planters, with braille labels. The special Mar. 10-deadline ticket prices are only S36 for three days; after that date, the week­ end passes will cost $45. Daily rates will remain S16, $21 and $17 for Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively; student and child discounts are also available. Call 1-800-343-7857 for more details or to reserve tickets. Faculty member, author focuses on Appalachians By SHAUNA D. WALKER Appalachian Staff Writer John Foster West may have retired from teach­ ing in the English Department at Appalachian State University, but his work as a writer contin­ ues. His latest accomplishment arrives in the form of "The Summer People," an enjoyable novel about a young widow's therapeutic stay in the North Carolina mountains. The story is set in the heart of Watauga County, in the year 1974. It revolves around the experi­ ences of 24-ycar-old Anna DcVoss, the widow of a Navy pilot killed in Vietnam. After six years of uncertainty, the body of her husband is finally found, and her mother-in-law convinces her to spend some time alone at the family's mountain cabin. Anna agrees, and her transformation begins. She arrives at the cabin in a red Porsche, bring­ ing with her all the fast-paced glamour the book protests so strongly. As she begins to know the mountains and their inhabitants, however, we see her life take on a slower, more appreciative pace that allows her to absorb the sumptuous beauty of the area. Her indoctrination into rural mountain life is aided primarily by Jay Webber, a neighbor and childhood friend of her deceased husband. As the story and her relationship with Jay prog­ ress, we realize, along with Anna, that she is ready to love more than just the mountains. "The Summer People" reaches its climax when Anna and Jay, on one of their excursions, discover the body of a drowned hiker. While Jay goes for help, Anna stays with the poor bedraggled corpse, holding it and weeping for the first time since her husband's disappearance. The burial of the un­ known hiker represents a burial of the past for ^nn^^n^r^ovakenin^iUh^friture^^^^^^ John Foster West has a startling ability to climb inside a woman's mind and describe her thoughts and emotions. This ability may of may not explain the fact that heoriginally submitted the book under the pseudonym Amanda Foster, after his grand­ mother. Anna is real, and West treats her psycho­ logical changes with sensitivity and superior skill. In addition tobeing a touching accountof Anna's healing process, "The Summer People"is a outcry against the destruction of the mountains in the name of "progress." West's love for his native Appalachian mountains is as obvious as his dis­ may at the development that threatens them. Jay Webber serves as an articulate spokesper­ son against the paradoxial revenue and damage tourism brings to the mountains. He illustrates how the influx of tourists, or "summer people," simultaneously supports and destroys the already veakening mountain culture. Many of the areas described in the novel will be familiar to local residents. Anna discovers Grand­ father Mountain, Tweetsie Railroad, Blowing Rock, the Mast General Store and various other local places of interest. Additionally, West incorporates many of the folk legends he himself grew up with, such as the appearance in the forest of the "Wee folk" and the story of the local man who carefully fashioned his own coffin, only to be washed away in a flood. West's devotion to the mountains and his per­ sonal investment in "The Summer People" is really apparent. Although Random House, pub­ lisher of several of his earlier works, called the novel "too regional," The Appalachian Consor­ tium Press unanimously voted it the winner of their Appalachian Fiction Award. Whether your interest lies in romance, environmental issue or mountain culture,"The Summer People" will be a worthwhile addition to your library. \w �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Appalachian Stall Writer After losing 15 games in a row to Marshall over me last several years, ASU's men's varsity basketa 1 team broke out of the slump Monday with an impressive pounding of the Thundering Herd, 8269. Well, the Charlotte Hornets pulled out another |0SS Wednesday night against Orlando. It's getting to be too much of a habit. Most people don't ask how the Hornets did the night before, it's more like "How much did they lose by?" That really gets boring. Let's face it. Hornets fans. Our boys in teal are really playing miserably these days. So miserably that Pete Rose is their biggest fan because he can always bet against them and win. Rex Chapman couldn't hit the broad side of a bam if he were ten feet from it. Kelly Tripucka looks like an 8-year-old lost in the middle of a shopping mall every time he steps on the court. While I'm at it, respect is due to General Manager Carl Scheer for finally finding a sucker learn that was fool enough to take Stuart Gray. And to think we traded our second-round pick last year for that deadweight. Hey, at least we still have Richard "Larry Bald" Anderson. Since the Hornets are in their second season there's been enough time to tell the difference between the trendy fans and the fans who plan to weather out the team's streaks of futility. I've found a sure-fire way to separate the "true" and the trendy. All you have to do is ask somebody what they think of Muggsy Bogues. The true fan might reply like this: "Well, Muggs is doing a great job. Fourth in the NBA is assists...in tire top ten for steals. You can always expect a In the last Mountaineer home game of the sea­ son, senior guard Kemp Phillips led the way with an 18-point, eight assist effort. ASU started the game off with a 14-2 run highlighted by a Phillips Uiree-pointer and a break­ away dunk by Ben Miller. The Thundering Herd continued to collapse under ASU's pressure de­ fense, and injured forward Steve Spurlock came into the game with a crowd-pleasing reverse slam and a tip-in. He then added an exclamation point by dunking an alley-oop pass from Tim Powers. lock, who did not start, played 16 minutes in the game with a strained tendon in his fool and Peel played 32 minutes with a bruised tail bone. Marshall was led by Tafl who finished with 29 points on 10-25 shooting from the Field. "We threw everything we had at Taft: double-teams, a box and one. He's a tremendous player. But I think Hie key was our big guys played excellent inside defense. We won the game defensively," Apke explained. The Apps held Marshall to just 40 percent shooting from the Field, while forcing 19 turn­ overs. ASU was led by Phillips (18 points, eight assists), and Peel (15 points). Broderick Parker added 13, while Sam Gibson added 10 poinLs, 10 rebounds and three blocked shots. The game was the last game in Varsity Gym for seniors Phillips, Miller, Gibson and Smart. The Apps finished the regular season with a record of The Apps finished the regular season with a record of 17-/0, including an 8-6 record in the Southern Conference that was good for third place. Marshall responded by giving the ball to the Southern Conference's leading scorer, John Taft. Taft kept the Herd close with his 16 first-half points. Phillips hit for 12 to give the Mountaineers a 43-34 lead at the intermission. In the second half, ASU continued to dominate Marshall. The Herd managed to cut Hie lead to five with 10:40 left in the game; however, Ed Ward and Rodney I eel hit successive three-pointers to stretch the Appalachian lead back to 11. ASU controlled the last five minutes of the game which were high­ lighted by senior Tim Smart's 16-foot jumper with 17 secondsremaining, which gave Hie Apps an 8269 win over Marshall. "Well, I Hiink it was a great time to catch Marshall (after Hiey lost to ETSU in overtime Saturday), ASU head coach Tom Apke said. But I was really proud of our walking wounded. We weren tat full strength physically, but we gave more than 100 percent mentally," he added. Spur- 17-10, including an 8-6 record in the Southern Conference that was good for third place. When asked about his feelings on the regular season, Apke said: "I'm ecstatic. We finished third in a tough conference and we got a good draw for Hie tournament." The Mountaineers play The Citadel Friday at 9:30 p.m. When asked about Hie key to beating The Cita­ del, Apke said, "Stop Elmore." Patrick Elmore leads The Citadel in scoring and rebounding, and he must have a big game for the Bulldogs to be successful. As for the injury outlook for the tour­ nament, ASU athletic trainer Kevin Allran said Hijngs are looking better. "Stcve (Spurlock) should be close to 100 percent. Rodney Peel is on a more day-to-day basis, so we'll have to see how he responds to treatment," he said. When asked about his injury, Peel said, "It's sore, but I'll definitely play (Friday). This is Hie best draw we've had in the tourney in a while." Shawn O'Neal good game out of him. As long as th'ey don't start him. Don't get me wrong, He's great, but he's more of a sixth-man sparkplug." The trendy fan has a much more simple reply: "He's so cute." Being cute may be nice, but cute doesn't get a team wins. One of the great things about the Charlotte Coliseum is the food on sale. You say Charlotte's not an upscale city? Check out the list of food items at "the Hive." There's Haagen Dazs ice cream, pork barbecue, steak fajitas, Domino's pizza - the list goes on, and some yuppie fans still complain there's not enough selection. Here's some food selections I believe *ould fit into the culinary lineup. Quiche — Perhaps the coliseum would allow Friday's restaurant to put up a stand «'th "Quiche Hugo" on sale.

Lady Apps split two games, prepare for tourney By KAREN POPE Appalachian .Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineers split two games in Hie Southern Conference last week. Last Wednesday Hie Lady Apps traveled to Johnson City, Tcnn. to take on ETSU and defeated the Lady Bucs, 81-70. Last Saturday the Lady Apps traveled to Hunting­ ton W. Va., only to suffer a tough 69-67 loss to Marshall. "It was a big win forus," Coach Linda Robinson commented on the game against ETSU. "When it was all said and done, it secured us second place," Robinson said. The Lady Mountaineers had a sluggish start in Hie first half of the game, and shooting 61.5 per­ cent from the free-throw line kept them only down by a point at halftime. In the second half, Hie Lady Apps came out strong and outscored the Lady Bucs 47-35 giving ASU an 11-point victory, 8170. "We knew (ETSU) would be tough," Robinson explained. "We played flat in the first half, while East Tennessee was hot. In the second half, we played much better," she said. Scoring for the Mountaineers were Shannon Thomas, 20points;GlcndaCunningham, 19poinls; Karen Gruca, 18 points; and Val Morgan, 10 poinLs. "Shannon Thomas played extremely well on boHl ends of Hie courl" Robinson said. "Karen Gruca had a very good shooting night and Val Morgan did well defensively," she added. The following weekend, the Lady Mountain­ eers traveled to West Virginia to play Marshall University. Playing a tight first half, ASU led bv two at the intermission, 33-31. In the second half, the Lady Apps could not maintain their lead! Marshall outscored them, 38-34, handing Hie Lady Apps a two-point loss, 69-67. Robinson said: "This was a disheartening loss. If we would have won this game, we would have 1 T.G.I. The Lady Mountaineers club soccer team Finished second to Lees-McRae in the Brevard College indoor soccer tourna­ ment this past weekend. The Lady Apps played Presbyterian College in Hie opening game, winning 40 on two goals from Holly Boggin, and one each from Melissa Gibson and Carson Satterficld. On Sunday, the Lady Apps played four games, including the playoffs. Maryville (Term.) College fell to the Lady Apps, 41, with Laura "Deanie" Goodwin, Satter­ ficld (2), and Boggin scoring goals. The Lady Mountaineers then faced UTChattanooga and won by a 7-0 score that was not as easy as it sounded, according to Coach Bob Goddard. "The UT-C pro­ gram is a new one, and they have some Fine talent. We were just so intense and up for this game, and having Hie men's club team cheering for us really broughtout the best in our players,"Goddard said. Megan Cunnane scored a goal, and Goodwin and Gibson had three each for Hie ASU squad. In the semi-final playoff round. Hie Lady Mountaineers faced the Asheville club team, and won by a 4-0 score. Gibson (2) and Goodwin (2) scored the goals. Going into the Final match against LeesMcRae, the Lady Mountaineers had scored 19 goals, while giving up only one in four matches.

This is discriminatory behavior on the part of the resorts. Students are being stereotyped as loud, unruly, disorderly, beer-drinking hoodlums. And while many are, resorts should only discourage t his kind of behavior, not tell all students to just stay away. Even in towns that normally welcome students, stricter laws are being im­ plemented and enforced in attempts to hold over-zealous students at bay. Perhaps students should take these resorts' advice. Maybe students should keep themselves and their money as far away from these oigoted places as possible. It would be interesting to see if, after huge losses in revenue, these places changed their tunes next year. With ever-increasing numbers of people opting for a college education resort areas, which are currently selective in their choice of clientele, may soon find they have alienated both present and future customers These merchants are very short-sighted to condemn those who pay for their extravagant lifestyles. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sci­ ences award the Oscars every year for the best achievements in film, or at least that's what they claim. I find that the Academy consists of a bunch of old fogeys who are fairly biased in their nomina­ tions and totally biased in selecting winners from those nominations. It is comprised of workers in all aspects of the film industry. The largest part is made up of mem­ bers of the acting branch, which may explain why so many of the Best Film nominations have gone to movies about actors ("Tootsie," "All That Jazz," "Stage Door," and "The Great Ziegfield," just to name a few). You have to realize that becoming a member of the Academy is a bit like becoming a member of the Supreme Court; it's for life. And, much like the Supreme Court, the Academy is composed of an overwhelming percentage of rather old people. Considering the rapidly increasing number of young moviegoers, the generation gap between the Academy and the average film fanatic lends itself to some very unpopular choices on the part of the Academy. In the 1980s, the movie screen was blasted with an astonishing amount of teenage movies. I'm not talking about trashy skin flicks; I'm talking about well-written, well-directed, artistic films with ex­ ceptional acting in them. It is strange that these films were conveniently overlooked when it came time to pass out the Oscars. Examples of these mov­ ies and actors could take pages; the more notable ones are: John Hughes' "Sixteen Candles" and "The Breakfast Club," with Molly Ringwald, Em ilo Estevez, Judd Nelson, and Ally Sheedy. This year.Jack Nicholson, a usual favorite of the Academy, was given the cold shoulder for his appearance in the somewhat juvenile "Batman." Critics and moviegoers alike agreed that he was a shoo-in for either Best Actor or Best Actor in a Supporting Role; but, because of the film's nature, the Academy left Jack with nothing but a smile on his face. This gap between the two groups has also caused the academy to conspicuously overlook films with outstanding techonological innovations. The most striking oversights were the Steven Spielberg films "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T. The Extra-Terres­ trial," "Poltergeist," "Back to the Future," "Young Sherlock Holmes" (a less known film), and "Indi­ ana Jones and the Last Crusade." Although "Raid­ ers of the Lost Ark" and "E.T." both won Oscars for Best Achievement in Sound, none of these films money they're spending. It is time for all who love ASU to speak out. After all, as citizens of the state it belongs to us. The administrators arc public servants and stewards of a public trust. Those who support the university with their taxes and contribu­ tions and especially those students and parents who pay continually rising tuitions and fees for doubtful benefits should learn what is going on and let their voices be heard. Token offerings If state buildings are not to be built on the basis of need but are to be erected on die basis of the enthusiasm of politicians, then perhaps we should all petition them to locate the much disputed low-level radiation waste dump in. the ASU administration building. The university administration would undoubtedly accept, and two problems could be solved at once. Sincerely yours, Joseph C. Logan Professor of Music don't justify cost Thomas reflects To the Editor: I wish to congratulate those 500 or so citizens who marched in the rain on Feb. 22 to protect the proposed new ASU student activity center.

Gifts should enhance our quality of life Although spring break is a time for fun, students should be cautious while participating in whatever activities they enjoy. Certainly, an injury-free vacation is a primary concern of the university community, and students shoukUtccptheirownas wellas others' safety in mind. Drinking responsibly, having a designated driver, and respecting the property of others should be paramount in students' minds while away from ASU. THE FAR SIDE were considered for any of the six (Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor RPc,, muscles supersede minds. So why don't we all acknowledge reality and admit that the university-mission statement is just so much eyewash? We are about to spend $24 million on a sports areana, $4 million on a campus-based Italian restaurant, and nothing on a math and science center. Has the concept of appeasing the masses with bread and circuses ever been more graphically illustrated? We are in the process of becoming a vast gladiatorial complex where a few studies are still grudingly maintained for the benefit of the feeblebodied. There was yet another article in the "Charlotte Observer" on Feb. 23 that deserves mention: By the time today's first-grad­ ers graduate from college, nearly 700,000 science and engineering jobs in this country will go beg­ ging. That prediction by the National Science Foundation leaves open the question: Who will power that technology evolution of the next century? (p. 3C) By supporting the sports arena instead of ecological studies and the math and science center, Dr. Thomas has given us one answer: It won't be graduates of ASU. devalued education Spending $24 million of the citizen's money to build this less-than-necessary building on an irreplaceable wooded mountainside is incredibly foolish. And for the university chancellor to attempt to justify its construction on little more than "state legislators this year were more enthusiastic about spending for the sports complex than for a $35 million math and science center that ASU also wants to build" (Winston-Salem Journal, Feb. 23) is the weakest possible reason to proceed. It may be good politics, but it is poor educational leadership. Should the university leadership present the real needs of the university to higher authorities and really fight for the educational needs of students and faculty members, or should the leadership merely bend to the whims and enthusiasms of politicians and outside money interests? In the event any reader may question the priorities involved here, I suggest he or she visit three places on campus. First, arrange to tour existing science classrooms, laboratories and offices. I am sure any science faculty member will gladly assist you. Second, look through Broome-Kirk and Varsity gymnasiums. Third, walk over the beautiful unspoiled mountainside which is the proposed building site for the proposed new sports complex. Then, independently decide what you believe should be the university's priorities. Remember, this is supposed to be an educational institution, and it is your Zohara Boyd Department of English To the Editor: It was extremely heartening to see 500 ASU students protesting on behalf of more educational facilities and bitterly disappointing to hear John Thomas' response. The "Winston-Salem Journal" and "Charlotte Observer" of Feb. 23 carried articles indicating that Dr. Thomas' attitude reflects the devalued status of education in much of North Carolina. The "Charlotte Observer" carried a letter to the editor from a Charlotte schoolteacher. Part of the letter stated: My school organization re­ cently requested activity buses to go on a cultural/educational trip. I was told that we could not get the buses because the athletic teams have them reserved, (p. 10A) The "Winston-Salem Journal" described a plan to help raise North Carolina's abysmal SAT scores by not scheduling any high school events on the nights preceding SAT exams. This suggestion from an educational committee elicited the following response: "This has implications for foot­ ball and basketball," said Susan K. Carson, a spokesman for the school system. The proposal had not yet been discussed with the coaches, she said. (p. 11) Dr. Thomas' attitude, therefore, simply mirrors the opinion prevalent i the North Carolina school system that names of famous ASU people all aroins them every day and still aren't inspired to even pick up their college catalog ml read the first few pages.

WJ ASU Box ^ Senior told nothing about senior gift To the Editor: I resent Nancy Falls attempt to speak for all seniors in her letter to "The Appalachian" concerning the senior gift. I also resent her characterization of seniors who didn't apply for the Senior Committee or contribute ideas for the class gift as "part of the problem." As a senior, I was not contacted about the Senior Committee or the class gift. I first heard about both when they were publicized in "The Appalachian." I don't know about the rest of the senior class, but I don't like the idea for the senior gift. What is a statue for anyway? To be looked at and admired. It docs nothing. It says nothing. I know that contributing to scholar­ ship funds is a quiet type of gift. I know such a gift won't get as big a picture of the Senior Committee and gift (if any) in the "Watauga Democrat," "The Blowing Rocket," or 'The Appala­ chian." Granted, a statue is a pretty idea, a unique idea, but also a pompous, egotistical idea that glorifies the giver.

I'm not a student, but I am a townspeople (person actually) and a faculty member, and I want to see said coliseum about as much aS I want to see a tax auditor or a huge boil on my butt. I attended graduate school at Emory University, about a mile from mid-town Atlanta, and there experienced less traffic, fewer tasteless neon-festooned, tacky businesses (a la B.R. Road), and considerably more peaceful, wooded areas than are to be found here (at a university 50 miles from anywhere). Even winos are reduced to imbibing behind Dcmpsey Dumpstcrs. The proposed site of the coliseum is the one truly peaceful area that I have found adjoining campus. Given the potential for beauty and tranquility this town and campus once possessed, we have done an extraordi­ nary job of trashing what might have been. We don't have much left (even a decent vista). Let's not poop where we eat, so to speak. ATTENTION - GOVERNMENT SEIZED vehicles from $100. Fords, Mercedes, Corvettes, Chcvys.

Number of freshman applicants down for fall By KELLY ARNOLD Appalachian Staff Writer Freshman applications are decreasing at ASU and at other universities in North Carolina. State education officials have attrib­ uted the decline in applications to a de­ crease in the number of high school sen­ iors who will graduate this year and to the possibility of graduating seniors choosing not to apply for admission to state institu­ tions of higher education. . .. According to actual and projected fig­ ures from the State Department of Public Ins truction, the drop in the number of high school graduates beginning this year will continue tlirough 1994-95. Officials at ASU said the university has received ap­ proximately 7,000 applications for the 1,800 available spots this fall, which they term a substantial decrease from last year. Associate Vice Chancellor for Aca­ demic Affairs and University Planner Dr. Judith Pulley said the biggest factor con­ * * tributing to the decline in the number of The minimum admission requirements applicants can beattributed todemograph­ for next fall have been raised.

According to Pulley, ASU does not want to discourage graduating seniors from applying. According to Watts, the university will continue to stress its unique qualities. Incoming students are more likely to encounter smaller classes and full-time senior faculty members in their freshman courses rather than graduate students. While the applicant pool is down, the number and quality of students who have been accepted for the fall and paid depos­ its is up compared to lastyear. Admissions Director Joe Watts said, "We are not alarmed with the decline of applicants be­ cause the quality of the pool is up." He added, "We feel good about where we are." Watts said faculty members will be asked to take a more active role in per­ suading students to actually enroll at Ap­ palachian. He said they will be encour­ aged to write letters, make phone calls and invite students to visit the campus.

Three of the cases involved violations of article 2 sections 2.129 and/or 2.113 of the judicial code. Section 2.129deals withunderage possession and/ or consumption of alcoholic beverages, while section 2.113 states that it is unlawful for any student to violate any provision of the Appala­ chian State University Policy on Alcoholic Bever­ ages. One of the tliree cases wasdropped and declared null after it was determined that the student no longer attends the university. A second student pled guilty to violating section 2.129 and received • sanction of three months specific probation. The third student was involved in two separate cases. First accused of violating section 2.129 and 2113, the student was also accused of violating section 2.121, contempt of court for failure to pay t prior courtfee. The student pled guilty to all three charges and was sanctioned to 8 months specific probation. Another cases involved the violation of section 2-121, for failure to meet with area coordinator.

In addition, those three appointees would have the right to appoint fellow faculty members to inform the university, in the words of Appleget, "the difference between aesthetically pleasing and environmentally sound." —The discontinuing of the use of non-recy­ clable products by ASU Food Services. —The state-funded clean-up of the steam pian t located on Rivers Street. "Human progress is capable of blunders of an astronomical scale," Boone dermatologist Peck Gamer said. He added that in his ten years in Boone he has seen the town suffer from progress, which he says will need to be redefined in the future. Gamer cited an article that ran on the commentary page in last Tuesday's issue of "The Appalachian" in which the writer supported con­ struction of the student center. "Some of the trees on the construction site can be incorporated into the coliseum landscape," Gardner quoted from the article and added "but even my 10-year-old daughter knows that a forest doesn't just have trees." A group of approximately 500 ASU students and Boone residents marched from Duck Pond Field to the front of the administration building last Thursday afternoon to protest the university's plans for future development, including a plan to build a student activities center on the hills above Kidd Brewer Stadium. As rain threatened to disrupt the march, chants like It s our money, it's our land; join together and make a stand,' rose above the participants as they marched along a route from the Duck Pond, down Rivers Street, todriving range parking lot, to the student union. After marching through the SanfordMall, the group stopped at the administra­ tion building, where various speakers, represent­ ing both sides of the issue addressed the crowd. Marchers expressed concern about planned construction projects and their effects on the local environment. Graduate student Karen Lohr said she wanted to take part because the university did not make an environmental impact study on the proposed arena site. According to Lohr, the site had earlier been an environmental studies area. She said her firstconcern was for themany species Following Gamer, former Boone Town Coun­ of plants and animals which are indigenous to the cilman Saul Chase called the arena a gigantic area. mistake in the naturepreserve.

Seventy-eight credit hours are required for a BFA, compared to 40 hours for a BA in art. With a BFA, a student can prepare for a career as an artist or attend graduate school. According to Humphrey, students trying degrees will allow the art to gain admission to graduate schools in £[U to become more competitive. n ew the past would have to take additional semester hours of work after completing the requirements for the bachelor degree.

In the 1950s and 60s it was civil rights, then came Vietnam, followed by Watergate and international terrorism. Today our television screens are once again filled with black and white images of violence and bloodshed, but this time it is a world away. This time it is South Africans who fight among themselves. For many Americans the anti-apartheid battles in the streets and villages of South Africa seem strikingly resemblant of our civil rights era. But according to one South African native studying public relations at ASU, the two are very different. You cannot draw a comparison between the civil rights era in U.S. history and South Africa today," ASU senior David Telford says. Telford moved to the United States in 1987 after growing up in Durban, Natal, the home of antiapartheid leader Nelson Mandela's native Zulu tribe in South Africa. At the time of the civil rights movement there were approximately 30 million blacks living in the United States compared with 200 million whites " he pointed out. "In South Africa it is the reverse!" According to Telford, in South Africa the black population outnumbers the white 5-1. "The whites are frightened," he says. White people are in charge of the country. They have put themselves in power. Now they are scared that their power will be taken away from them," he said. has arisen not only between blacks and whites but Telford said that because of the UN's ban against also between the English-and Afrikaan-speaking South African participation in the OlympicGames, "People live badly under apartheid," Telford whites, between the different native tribes and he questioned the allowed involvement of some said.

Snow in February! yi1* Appalachian Staff Writer Graduate school is no longer a fear. In today's society, graduate degrees are increasingly impor­ tant. Dr. Hank Schneider, assistant dean of the graduate school at ASU, said: "Graduate school is not just for geniuses. But it is for people with clear career objectives." Many people think acceptance into graduate school is extremely difficult. According to Sch­ neider, there are several things that admissions people look at: "They look at undergraduate per­ formance as well as standardized test scores. Let­ ters of recommendation, work experience and career objectives are important as well." Dr. Wesley Patton, professor of marketing, said that some schools looking for MBA students want people with two or five years of experience in business. Others schools, such as ASU, design MBA programs for undergraduates. ^tg here and diinking back on all of my ln8 breaks, I have decided that maybe 10 the beach after all. 1 don't know how "rest T'II 11 get at home.

Schneider said to look for a program that meets your needs and interests. Don't look for one that fits the latest trend. Cost and location are also important factors that can't be overlooked. Patton said when looking for a master's pro­ gram, look to see if the program is accredited. The school name may be just as important. Find out if the program is general or specialized. He said, 'They may look similar, but aredifferent in thrust." These are what he called the "intangibles" of programs. Schneider said, "Doing your homework on different programs is essential to finding the best program for you. "Graduate school is not just for geniuses.

Apartment hunters find shelter at Rental Fair By JAMIE A. CHRISTENBURY Appalachian Staff Writer On-campus housing may be worthwhile for many students at ASU, but after a year or two in a residence hall, students often feel the need for space only an apartment can provide. Very often, students don't know where to go to get information about all the apartment complexes around Boone. ASU'sStudent Government Asso­ ciation took the thought to heart two years ago,and as a result, organized an event where all the major renters around Boone could show off their proper­ ties. This event is known as Rental Fair. This year's Rental Fair will be held Wednes­ day, Feb. 28 in the Student Union Pub from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to SGA Off-Campus Affairs Chairperson Steve Yost, the Rental Fair is primar­ ily for students currently living on campus who wish to live off campus next year, but it will be beneficial to any student desiring to live off cam­ pus. Fifteen landlords and rental owners plan to attend the Rental Fair, a figure higher than in any years past. ASU's legal intern will also have a table set up to provide advice on the legal aspects of renting an apartment or house. Harold Tillcy of Appalachian Management encouraged students to "come out and look" at the fair. He noted, "when they come to the fair, all the landlords are there, and they can see where they want to live." Tilley said that by dropping by the Rental Fair, students can find out what is available for rent, where they want to live, and who is in charge of renting it. Pictures and price lists are available, and students can also put their names on without cars. Because the Rental Fair is held on campus and the renters are all there in one place, it is not necessary to visit the offices of the repre­ sented companies. By not having to visit the indi­ vidual offices, the students do not have to spend time figuring out where the offices are located and a waiting list so that they will have a chance to live how they will get to the offices. where they want. Ward also said that although students try to find PSI Properties Manager Renae Ward noted that a place to rent by phoning a realty company, the the benefits of the Rental Fair to students include Rental Fair is much better for this purpose.

This is my first year at Appalachian and the first time I have been able to attend college basketball games on a regular basis. Of course, as a first year fan, I am far from being a connoisseur of fine gymnasium etiquette or a fine cheerleader analyzer, but I just wanted to share a few thoughts. By KAREN POPE Appalachian Staff Writer T wenty-five membersof ASU basketball squads from the Classesof 1935 through J 988 returned to [ Varsity Gymnasium this past Saturday for a Mountaineer alumni game. The alumni ball players returned for both the white/gold game and the fellowship associated with seeing old friends. "I was pretty excited and wanted to see old friends," said the most recent class representative, DarTyl Person from theClassof 1988.Real' isn't known much anymore, but I had 'real' friends here." Fans can play a major role in the outcome of any sporting event, but this is especially true in a basketball game. Basketball is played indoors, where every scream can be heard by the players, the referees, the coaches and the other fans as well. The screams, yells, stabs, slurs, etc. can either help or hurt a team. The 10 guys on the court thrive on the fan involve­ ment, and this in­ volvement, or lack thereof, can make or break a game. Kurt C. Ward It is the cheerlead - ers' job to bring about this enthusi­ asm and to maintain the highest possible level of excitement. I feel that our cheerleaders, or perhaps all college COMING AT YOU: Rodney Peel (12) throws a cheerleaders, fail to do this. pass right at you in a recent game against ETSU.

I wanted to come last year, but I didn't get to. 1 was hoping more people would show up, but it's good to see those that are here." 1973 graduate Bobby Tate, who resides in Ranner Elk, said that he continues to attend ASU's home games. Commenting on thealumni event he said, "It's been great. I loved it; I still feel like part of the organization." c MM Appalachian Photo by Trey Horack Tournament. ETSU will be the topseed going into the tournament. The winnerof the tournament gets an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. In the game itself, the White came from anearly seven point deficit to handily defeat the Gold squad, 101-84. The oldest alumnus present, Bob Weaver from thcC lass of 1935, initiated thegame by tossing the opening tip off. The Gold squad jumped out to the early lead and grabbed a 7-0 advantage with 8:04 remaining in the opening quarter. The White squad netted its first points at the 6:38 mark. Following a time-out and numerous substitutions by White Coach Bob Light, thegame became deadlocked at seven-apiece as a White team member popped a three-pointer. The White took its first lead, 11 -9, at the fourminute mark and lead by as much as seven, 20-13, with 32 seconds remaining in the opening period. The Gold pulled to within five, 20-T5, at the con­ clusion of the quarter. s With 9:10 left in the second quarter, the White stretched its lead to eight, 25-17, with a three-point bomb. Two fast breaks by the Gold reeled in the streaking White squad and made the score 25-21. The White then pulled away. With 1:03 remain­ ing in the half, David Lawrence slammed in the game's first dunk and increased the White lead to 46-32. Tate sank a three-pointer with 17 seconds on the clock to pull the Gold squad to within 13, 50-37, at the half. The White squad maintained its lead through­ out the third quarter, with strong inside play and another dunk by Lawrence. However, by the end of the period, the Gold squad had pulled to within seven, 75-68. Early in the fourth quarter, the Gold squad pulled to within two, 78-76, as Dave Abernathy from the Class of 1957 scored two buckets from inside. The Gold squad was unable to come any closer, however, as the White pulled awa\ so a 17point advantage down the stretch and ruled the game with a 101-84 victory. SC tourney tips off this weekend in Asheville The Citadel has also had a disappointing sea­ son, witli a 5-8 conference record. They are led by Patrick Elmore, who is leading the Southern Conference with 9.8 rebounds per game and is second in the league with 21.4 points a contest. Wi thout Elmore, they would probably be the worst team in the conference. Even with Elmore The Citadel has about as much of a chance of winning the tournament as Western. The Furman Paladins have a 4 9 record in the conference. Behind the scoring of Bruce Evans (14.2 points per game), they can surprise people. The Paladins beat ASU ana ETSU this season, showing that they are either talented or lucky. They will need both talent and luck to make it past the first round. Tenncssee-Chattanooga has had an up and down season. This year UTC compiled 6 conference wins and 7 losses (12-13 overall). Derrick Kierce provides much of UTC's offense, averaging 19.7 points per game. However, for UTC to advance in tire tournament, Kierce will need some help from his teammates. ASU has also had what cpuld be called an.up and down season. After returning the nucleus of last year's 20-game winning team, the Mountain­ eers have struggled to obtain a 7-6 conference record and an overall mark of 16-10. If ASU plays up to their capabilities, watch for the Mountain­ eers in the championship game. The Mountaineers are led by center Sam Gi­ bson, who ranks in the top 10 in the conference in scoring (15.6 points per game), rebounds (6.8 per game) and field goal percentage (52.8). After scoring only seven and four points in the first two games of the season, Gibson has scored in double digits in the last 23 games. A pleasant surprise for the Apps this season is the emergence of sophomore forwardSteve Spurlock. Spurlock ranks second on the team in scor­ ing (12.6 points per game) and tops the league in field goal percentage (56.3). The Thundering Herd of Marshall has posted a conference record of 7-3, with a 14-10 overall record; Marshall has the conference's leading sea ter,Jnhn Tafl,i ttrhfit it aw waging SilrFjxnnts per game. The Herd has a good chance of winning the tournament, if they keep up the intensity they have played with for most of the season. VMI started the season in the cellar of the Southern Conference. However, after last-second wins over ETSU and ASU, they seemed to gain confidence. They now have a 7-6 record in the league and are 13-13 overall. VMI is led by the Williams' twins, Damon and Ramon. The twins score 40 points per game, but for VMI to win the tournament someone else must step up and score, and no one else on the team is averaging in double figures. The Bucs are talented and athletic. Barring any major upsets they should meet ASU or Marshal] in the finals. However, with this year's topsy turvy season, any of the top four teams could win the tournament.

Cm , . The Mountaineers were led by senior Sam Gibson 's21 points, with junior Rodney Peel adding 19. The Keydets were paced by Lcnnon Mings with 18. The first five minutes of the game belonged to Gibson, who had 10 quick points, including three dunks. The Apps continued to dominate for most of the half, with Peel hitting four three-pointers. The Mountaineersstretched the lead to 13 atone point, then VMI went on a tear, with Mark Craft hitting eight quick points and Percy Covington adding six. Covington's three-pointer with seconds left in the half cut the ASU lead to only two, where it remained as time expired. Peel was the leading Mountaineer scorer at the half with 15, and Gibson added 12 points. Covington paced the Keydets with 12. The second half was full of lead changes and ties. Both teams played good defense, and the score continued to seesaw back and forth until the last minute of the game. Gibson scored from the inside, but the Keydets continued to counter with a bucket from one of the Williams twins (Damon and Ramon). In the last few minutes of the game, Gibson and Kemp Phillips simply took the game away from VMI. Gibson blocked three shots, and his defen sivc boards prevented the Keydets from picking up any easy baskets. Phillipsscored eight points in the last three minutes of the game, including six clutch free throws which iced the 80-75 ASU victory. "I think it was a really gutsy performance," ASU head coach Tom Apke said, "We showed a lot of poise at the end of the game, and our seniors really did the job. "Defensively, we played with emotion and in­ tensity, and we have tried to stress that," Apke said. The effect of the intense defense showed the most in the scoring of the Williams twins, who were held 14 points below their combined aver­ age. ASU played well down thestretch, with Phillips hitting the key free throws and Ed Ward coming up with a big steal. Keydet head coach Joe Cantafio said: "(Ward) made a good defensive play. And Phillips' foul shots just killed us. He doesn't get as much credit as some, but he's probably one of the best guards in the league. And Gibson's blocked shots were very big plays. It was just a heck of a game." Besides finishing with 21 points, Gibson has nine rebounds and four blocked shots. Peel fin­ ished with 19 points and Phillips added 16 points and eight assists. Mings led VMI with 18, and Mark Craft added 15 points and eight rebounds. The Mountaineers shot 48 percent from the field (6-14 from three-point land) and an impres­ sive 80 percent from the free-throw line. The Keydets hit 48 percent of their shots also, but only managed 70 [xircent from the free-throw line. They hit only four of 19 from beyond the three point arc. Spurlock, ASU's second leading scorer and rcbounder, is out with a strained tendon in his foot. His condition is listed as day-to-day, so he could be back in lime for the Southern Conference tournament. Peel suffered an injury to his lower back in the game, and his playing condition is questionable also. The win pushed the Apps record up to 16-10,76 in the conference. VMI dropped to 13-13 over all, 7-6 in the conference. FORM ER ALUMNI COMPETE: Former ASU greats returned to their greatness last Saturday.

ASU is just saying no to the environment in the year the administration proclaimed the Year of the Environ­ ment. Last Thursday, 500 students marched from the muddy remnants of Duck Pond Field to the front of the admini­ stration building to protest the building of a $24.5 mil­ lion, 11,000-seat student activity center. We are not only opposed to what the center will do to our fragile mountain environment, but we also oppose spending funds on what amounts to a big gym when our faculty is losing office space, we are losing classroom space, and our library is in dire need of renovations.

Last 7 uesday, the SGA Senate passed a bill which would allow resident assistants guaranteed parking close to their residence halls. Why is favoritism being shown to these individuals? The best justification for this action would be so RAs would have access to a car in an emergency situation. However, since only ASU Security personnel are allowed to transport students in an emergency, it would seem that the bill has no legitimate purpose. 11is not disputed that RAs serve an important purpose to the university community. However, other students also hold important positions within the university and are not given priority parking. The SGA Senate itself has numerous members who work for no pay. Also, ASU has many studentsorganizations with hard-working members, and many students work extensively on campus with no such favoritism or benefits. Why is one group of students singled out for special privileges? In! -do i V ... . fi Ihe only other student to receive special consideration for parking privileges is the SGA president who, as a full voting member of the ASU Board of Trustees, receives a parking sticker that allows him or her to park just about anywhere on campus. This is a great privilege, since other organization heads are not even considered for such a fringe benefit. The site of this new facility will be the area behind the stadium which currently is used as the soccer field. The new student activity center will not only do away with the soccer field, but it will also take up the area known as Suicide Hill, the rhododendron-covered hiking trail which leads to a secluded pond and the grounds where Yofest is held. It will destroy hundreds of trees and plants and be constructed on an unstable 30 degree slope. Of the $24.5 million needed for this center, $14.7 million will come from student fees. Have you noticed the steady increase in fees over the last few years? It's not just inflation folks! It is for what will become the greatest mistake and biggest environmental flaw ASU has ever made. Another proposed construction project on campus is the renovation of and an addition to the student union. Part of the addition will go toward a mini-Quinn Centertype facility. If the administration is so concerned with the health and fitness of students, then why don't they leave the area behind the stadium for hikers, mountain bikers, the Sunday afternoon football gang, and the students who participate in intramurals and need a place to practice. They've already taken Duck Pond Field away from us to accommodate those students whocannot walk to the cafeteria or Food Court from the residence halls on the westside of campus. If they take away this grassy area for a $24.5 million eyesore, they will leave us with absolutely no place on campus for outdoor recrea­ tion. Also, where Yofest is concerned, will they bus us to the outer limits of Watauga County to enjoy what has become a tradition at Appalachian? Ihe SGA Senate also dealt with the possibility of pre-registering student vehicles according to class status. Whilenot all underclassmen would agree with this proposal students could, at the very least, be assured of adequate parking for one year. *** By GARY LARSON We have opted for games over grades To the Editor: I am confused about a couple of topics that involve our university. First, I wonder if this is the Year of the Environment here at ASU. I have read that it was, but, I have only heard news of the development of an 11,000 seat student activity center which brings me to my next problem. Are we here for academics or athletics? Why would we build such a structure when we are in dire need of classroom space, faculty offices and library improvements? Are we all confused or just greedy? I feel that our priorities are distorted and would like some answers. Andy Lester ASU Box 6271 Unstable decisions harm our future To the Editor: In response to the article in the Feb. 12 "Mountain Times" about the new activity center/coliseum, I think the college needs to carefully examine their values and priorities. "Wait! Spare me!... I've got a wife, a home, and over a thousand eggs laid in this jelly!" Compromise is too expensive at ASU To the Editor: The very thing that draws people to our area, that makes it unique over UNC and NC State, and Charlotte and Winston Salem, is its unspoiled natural beauty. Ihe present system has no recognition for senior status and no subsequent privileges. This may also appear to be favoritism; however, if privileges are granted to all seniors, such as argument is obviously invalid. Students can control whether they become seniors, whereas they cannot control whether they become RAs. THE FAR SIDE One fact that the administration seems m; ignore is ,h effect of rising enrollment here at Appalach'.' enrollment rose from 6,6*55 in 1970 to 9,794 in HIS °L is now around 11,000 for 1990.

We cannot deny that ASU's growing population is bringing about the need for more facilities on campus. We are going to have to cut down some trees and raise some fees, but we need to do it for the right reasons. Belk Library is way too small for a university of this size. There is a lack of much-needed group-study rooms and space in general.

To discourage this.Security would ticket and tow a car displaying someone's lost or stolen tag. Still, it would be extremely difficult to detect this every time it occurred. Also, the proposed system makes it easier for more than one person to use asingle tag. It is much easier to borrow a tag than it is to borrow a car. Rest assured, tag borrowing will become a frequent occurrence if the new system is adopted.

ASU, give academics a sporting chance The campus parking situation is never going tosatisfy themajority of students. Yet, the situation would be much easier to take if we knew that all students were going to have to endure the same substandard conditions. Since this is not the case, it makes it all the more dil ficult to bear when some students are shown such blatant favoritism. 1 lie Senate also discussed a proposed system which would abolish the parking sticker in favor of a parking tag.

I can't believe the university has such an obvious disregard for our environment: no environmental impact studies were done on carving away half a mountain, no regard for the sediment People don't come to the mountains to shop and attend concerts and watch sports events. When I attended ASU in 1973,1 and most of my classmates picked this college because we could receive a good education while living in this beautiful natural setting—we like to ski, hike and camp, and we carpooled to the big cities if we wanted to experience New York City night life. I'm personally tired of going to sports and musical events at the Dean Dome and the coliseums in Charlotte and other places where you need binoculars to see what's going on. We've been delighted at the energy of smaller places like Spirit Square, Legends, Farthing Auditorium, etc. which attract quality performances in an intimate setting. If the legislature is so intent upon spending $12 million to further ASU, why not enhance what we already have? I would think the dollar should be spent on quality academics, better-stocked libraries, renovating existing structures toward energy efficiency, and grants for studies on environmental concerns. (We possess more biological plant diversity than anywhere else in the state just here in Watauga County.) Why tear all this beauty down to make us the same as every other college? As an alumna and a taxpayer, I'm appalled at the state's priorities for money spending at ASU. The ASU chancellor seems to be saying, in the "Mountain Times," "Well gee, the state has forced the money on us to build this, so I guess we ought to go ahead and do it." ASU is definitely into "bigger, bigger, bigger," without any sense of what "small" and "carefully planned" have to offer. As a result of leveling the mountains and expanding the buildings to attract "everybody" to college here, ASU ends up becoming a "jack of all trades and master of none," meeting no one's needs with anything of quality. ASU needs to narrow its focus and emphasize the uniqueness and beauty it already possesses. Diana Donovan Valle Crucis 963-5876 I am writing in response to Mr. Sandlin's article in the Feb. 20 edition of "The Appalachian," entitled, "Can college condone coliseum compro­ mise?" The answer, in my mind, is no, we should not condone a compromise where the coliseum is concerned. The replanting of trees and incorpora­ tion of them into the landscape of the new building is a given if the coliseum is to be build. This is no compromise even from the beginning, except against the environment. Mr. Sandlin and other coliseum advocates cannot expect to pacify concerned citizens by the mere replanting of a few trees.. Here, his logic is flawed, as the real issue is that we don't want a student activity center at all. Destroying trees and the Environmental Studies Area and spending $12 million on an 11,000-seat coliseum that we don't need, is the issue. Besides degrading the environ­ ment, the student activity center will cost the students and taxpayers the same money over and over again. The "gift" from the state of North Carolina is not "free money." It will come from the pockets of taxpayers, who include us and our parents. Then, we and our parents must match this gift with $12 million more. Further, the interest we pay on the money we need to build the facility will cost us every year, and the activity center will never be paid off. Men and women, this is the progress that Mr. Sandlin spoke of in his article. We are progressing to an increasingly bare environment that is costing us money and will eventually cost us our homes and lives, from lack of air to breathe, water to drink and food to eat (funny how a new coliseum is so much more important than food, water and shelter.) This is what "continues nonetheless," as Mr. Sandlin says, despite people who speak up in the name of the environ­ ment. My questions are these: why is building a coliseum progress? how can it add to the income of the university when it is taking so much away? There won't be any money left for the improvement of existing buildings and parking, as the article suggests. Additionally, is an 11,000-seat coliseum alone going to attract big name entertainers if we don't have the money to pay them? And why is that so important anyway? The most important issue—and the one we should most fervently address is, however, the role the student activity center will play m degrading our natural ^jjjrounding^The coliseum is not a part of the progress, as Mr. Sandlin sugg in his article.

English lecturer Dr. George Alexander litman Jr., 42, of Hill Street, Boone, was jrrested by Boone Police officers Tues­ day and charged with four counts of mainnining a vehicle for keeping and selling marijuana, four counts of possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver marijuana, and four counts of sale and delivery of marijuana. Police also seized a 1978 burgundy Pontiac which Batman allegedly used in the offenses. Batman has been placed under a S20.000 secured bond, which, according to police, had not been posted at press lime. According to the district attorney's office, the arrest charges include three indictments made by a Watauga County Grand Jury on Jan. 2. The grand jury indictments stem from undercover operalions dating back to July 25, 1989. Court records show that Batman was indicted on three counts of possession with the intent to sell a controlled sub­ stance (marijuana) and an additional three counts of selling a controlled substance. The indictments, which were previously scaled pending arrest, show that Batman allegedly possessed and then sold to an undercover policeman amounts of mari­ juana ranging in weight from one-half to one ounce on July 25, Aug. 2, and Aug. 8 of last year.

ASU Senators deny Ash's appeal By BETH R IDGELL Appalachian StafT Writer student Deliberations concerning former SGA Public Defender Kathleen Ash's appeal for reinstate­ ment ended Tuesday night when senate members voted to uphold SGA President Brad Edwards decision to fire her. drowns SGA Vice President Patrick Wooten addressed senate members before beginning Ash's appeal proceedings by stating that Edwards had the con­ stitutional authority to dismiss Ash, and that Ash had the constitutional authority to appeal thedeci­ sion. By DIANNE WALLY Appalachian Copy Editor J Both Edwards and Ash were allotted 10 min­ utes each to present their views on the issue, which was followed by an additional 20 minutes of questioning by the audience. ASU senior Carol Jean Hughes, 21, was the victim of an apparentdrowning late Tuesday afterloon. According to Watauga County Shcrriff Red Lyons, Hughes' tody was found by a diving team kom the Boone Police Department yesterday at J|ll:15 a.m. at the bottom of Watauga River Falls in icrevice between two rocks.

Two of the charges that were cited by Edwards as reasons for firing Ash were violations of the code of ethics concerning confidentiality and a disrespectful attitude toward the court. Ash stated she did not believe she had violated the code or shown disrespect to anyone. Ash's ethics concerning client confidentiality came into question after she submitted an editorial about the university's specific probation policy to The Appalachian," in which she referred to a client as "he." In doing so, Edwards held that she had broken a canon in Article 1 of the judicial code which states, "no case pending, or otherwise, before anycourt should be mentioned, commented upon, or discussed in any manner by any justice except when the court itself is sitting in to consider the case." Ash said her reason for contacting "The Appa­ lachian was to let the students know what was going on and to motivate the student body to change the specific probation policy. According to Ash, the student referred to as "he" in the editorial had consented to an interview with a reporter from 'The Appalachian," agreed to the reporter being present during the proceedings of his court case, and knew beforehand of her inten­ tions to write an article for the newspaper. Ash claimed the use of the word "he" in the editorial did not break confidentiality because of her client's willingness to participate and the fact that no specifics involving the case were divulged. She maintained that "he" is a generic term which can describe half of the student body population and, therefore,cannot be interpreted as identifying the client or breaching his confidentiality. Appat*cruan Photo oy iroy norocft FORMER PUBLIC DEFENDER KATHLEEN ASH and SGA Vice President Patrick Wooten listen as senators question whether to reinstate Ash or uphold her dismissal by SGA President Brad Edwards. Ash also stated that Edwards knew of her inten­ tions to go to the school paper and did not voice any objections to her doing so at that time. "If caring, doing a good job, and letting students know when something going on is wrong, and voicing my opinion, being assertive—if all of that is a violation of the code of ethics,"said Ash,"then maybe you should not re-instate me. I will con­ tinue to do that if I get my job back. I will continue to fight for the students." Edwards distributed copies of the judicial code to senate members with areas marked which he said were items Ash had violated. Edwards ar­ gued it did not matter whether the defendant referred to as "he,"gave his permission for Ash's article, and maintained that the client's right to confidentiality was broken. Concerning prior knowledge of the article, Edwards said Ash had informed him of her wish to go to "The Appalachian" and he said that she should speak to Chief Justice Glenn Roseman concerning this action. Ash maintained that Edwards at no time asked her to inform Roseman of her decision. Edwards said, "Whether she had my approval or not it doesn't matter. She should have known these (rules)." Edwards added that no pending case should be mentioned or discussed, as is stated in the judicial code, and that by using the word "he," Ash com­ mitted adirect violation of thecode. Edwards also said he felt any justices reading Ash's article may have been biased toward the case. "She should not have gone to the newspaper," Edwards said. "She should not have exploited (the case), and let any information out beforehand." According to Edwards, the charge describing Ash as having a disrespectful attitude stems from what he termed a heated discussion which took place on Jan. 31, outside of the student courtroom. The disagreement, involving Edwards, Ash, Roseman, Center for Student Involvement and Leadership Director Lee McCaskey, "Appala­ chian" Editor-in-Chief Jon Jimison and News Editor Jenelle Autry, was supposedly over whether or not a reporter should be allowed in court. Ac­ cording to Ash. the courtroom can only be closed to visitors by the public defender's office and the attorney general's ofFice. Ash maintained that both offices and the defendant were aware of the reporter's presence. According to Edwards, it was during this inci­ dent that Ash was accused of not showing proper respect to members of the court. Edwards said "There was a conflict going on with Ash and this is why I was called in." Edwards stated it was at this point that Ash displayed a "disrespectful attitude" toward the court, and it was brought to his attention that he needed to look See APPEAL pg. 2 ampus officials nationwide question anti-drug efforts Hi Pus officials across the nasaid anti drug efforts on college |?UScs ^ failing.

By 1991, all campuses are supposed to have anti-drug programs in place, along with the means to expel collegians con­ victed of drug offenses. Few students seem to equate such oaths and threats with a serious drug problem. I don t think it s going to have any bearing on anyone,"said Julianne Marley, head of the U.S. Student Association, which represents campus student presi­ dents in Washington, D.C. Already, campus aid officials are sup­ posed to report students convicted of drug crimes to the Department of Education, which is then to take the money away. Legally, the student also may be prose­ cuted for fraudulently signing the pledge not to usedrugs, fined $10,000 and sent to jail for five years. Financial aid is losing its purpose, which is to provide higher education," "It's a copout, a nice way to think, 'Oh, we're doing something for the War on Drugs," she added. Even the nation's top "drug warriors" agree. I m sure (national drug policy director William J. Bennett) will concede it's not a great deterrent," Bennett aide David Robb said. "If i sign something and not comply, that's up to them." Robb also maintained that, when it comes to combating illegal drugs,"all too often, universities are looking the other way." Yet Bennett and Bush, who on Jan. 25 proposed putting another $1.1 billion in the effort, both believe the drug war is successful. "The momentum is shifting," Bennett said. "The scourge is beginning to end." Recent studies suggest that the "scourge" has beendiminished for several years. Researchers at the University of Michigan, who annually report on drug use among high school seniors, found that the number of college students using illicit _drugs has been steadilydeclining.

Spring Festival Has Been Cancelled for ' Shortfalls in funding and staffing needs means ASU's ^CTter f°r Appalachian Studies will no longersponsor the Watauga Spring Festival. Center director John Alexander Williams said recent festivals have lost money, and the center could not cover tesuva1 costs without diverting funds from its academic programs. I 1 festival was also becoming a burden on the limited number of statt members available to organize the event, he said The festival may return in 1991 under new sponsorship. The Northwestern Small Business and Technology Development Center, housed in Appalachian's Walker College of Business, is exploring ways to continue the festival, according to director Barbara Lawrence. "We would like to develop an effective plan for a.first-class event which will appeal to a larger audience and provide a greater economic benefit for artisans, business participants and the community at large," she said. Sponsoring the Spring Festival would give the Small Business Center the opportunity to work with the numerous' cottage industries in the area, Lawrence said.

Acting PublicDefender Reggie Murphy said in Ash's defense, "Kathy Ash has the most respect for the student judiciary system," and added that during the discus­ sion she was not the only one to act disre­ spectfully. Edwards, in defense of his decision, said, No one at all from the administra­ tion played any part in this at all." Following testimony, amove to uphold Edwards' decision was made and then objected to. Five rounds of debate fol­ lowed. In order to overturn Edwards' decision. Ash's appeal had to be approved by a twothirds majority vote, meaning that of the senate members voting Tuesday night, 35 had to vote in favor of Ash being rein­ stated. The motion to uphold Edward's decision passed with a vote of 30 to up­ hold and 22 to overturn, with one absten­ tion. During the discussion following the acceptanceofAsh'sdismissal, Randy Hill, a member of the Traffic Rules and Regu­ lations Committee, resigned his position, saying, "I'm going to resign from that committee because the leadership of Brad Edwards sickens me." Hill is the third person to resign an SGA position.

Simmons cited her reasons for resigning: "I believed our system to be fair and honest. I also be­ lieved in the integrity of those who 'con­ trol ' our court. It is now obvious to me that I believed in things that do not exist." During the senate meeting SGA Rules ' Committee Chairman Corky Collins stated, "Brad (Edwards), in my opinion, it was an asinine decision that you made to fire Kathy Ash." He added, "I think that she is the best thing that students had going for them." In an attempt to calm tempers and unite senate members.Senator Sam Herard said that personal feelings may have been torn at during this trying time, but he expressed his wishes that the senate would get back together and put any personal grievances aside. Speaking on behalf of Edwards, offcampus senator Randy Riddle said he felt Edwards "was justdoing his job in the best way he felt." After the meeting, Murphy said he felt the decision by Edwards was upheld be­ cause some senators do not like Ash. Murphy stated thathe believed"they (some senators) don't like her (Ash) because she would notkiss the behindof thesystem. If SGA is supposed to be made of, by and for the students, they should have been for Kathy Ash." Murphy went on to add, "I will continue to work for the student judiciary system, not because I like SGA, but because I want to take the torch passed to me by Kathy Ash to work for students."

Israeli dance group coming Wednesday By DEE SMITHER.MAN Special to the Appalachian Shalom, a colorful festival of sight and sound, will perform in Farthing Audito­ rium on Wednesday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. The production is sponsored by the AS U Performing Arts Series, a division of the Office of Cultural Affairs. Universal in appeal, Shalom, is an expression and celebration of life featuring 45 of Israel's most dynamic and enterprising young singers and dancers; the performance will include appearances by special gueststars, all former members of the Israeli army. Shalom was founded in Tel-Aviv, Is­ rael in 1976, performs inlsrael, and repre­ sents the country throughout the world. Annually, the group changes its repertoire and dancers. The company's name ex­ presses the hope in the heart of every Jew in Israel and around the globe for peace. Israel is a nation that knows war's suffer­ ing and years for peace, tranquility and security on its land. THURSDAY, FEB. 22, A.P.P.S. FILM COUNCIL will present "The Accused" in the I.G. Greer Theatre at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Jodie Foster, who won an Academy Award forherpcrformance in the film, stars as the victim of abrutal barroom rape. The film's other star, Kelly McGillis, admitted after its release that she really had been raped wlier in life, but had covered it up. She said she made the film as a way to show other "omen the necessity of speaking out if they arc victimized. One of the most important and agonizing cinematic experiences of our times, "The Accused" is a disturbing film that explores the damaging after-effects of a de­ humanizing crime on one woman—and the shocking sense of apathy which allowed it to happen. Following the first showing, there will be a forum in room 119 of I.G. Greer which will beled by representatives fromOASIS, WataugaCounty's rapecrisis center. Gavri Levi is the initiator, choreogra phcr and natural father of the group. His original selection of dancers comes from the various Kibbutzim throughout the country, where folk dancing has played an important part in the cultural life of the community. Today, Gavri directs many dance groups in Israel, moving his best performers up to theShalom Dance Group. The group is comprised of dancers from every comer of the country, among them soldiers, farmers, teachersand profession­ als from all walks of life. These individu­ als are engaged in their work during the day, and in the evenings meet for practice and performances. In every place where the group per­ forms, it brings with it the story of a country whose roots are thousands of years old, a country that united its people from every part of the world—east and west, a country that calls to its sons and daughters to return home, and a country that knows ho w to preserve its rich and varied culture. It is this culture that Shalom gives expres­ sion to, in dance, song, costume and rhythm. The uniqueness of Shalom dance is in its combination of ancient tradition and the growth of a renewed country that has built a modem and advanced society. The group has captured in dance the tranquil­ ity of the rural areas, the kibbutz (the simple farming collective that is a charac­ teristic only of Israel), the strength of the belief and the heartbeat of the bustling C'T . <l w .... ' Shalom enlightens audiences with an international showcase of modern, jazz, folk and traditional dances" from such countries as Romania, Russia, Israel and the United States. This festival troupe made their first stateside visit in 1975 after more than three years of entertaining sol­ diers and statesmen in their homeland. Now audiences the world over thrill to the exciting and inspiring performance by this award-winning company which has re­ ceived top honors in England, Belgium, Israel, South Africa, Holland and Amer­ ica. Tickets for the performance are $4 for students and $8 for non-students, and may be purchased Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Farthing Audito­ rium lobby.

This is a classic example of names indicating a person's type; how­ ever Sid is definitely not vicious, while Nancy is a true sponge. Her meddling and influence over Sid led to his downfall and the inevitable destruction of their lives. This is a sad and haunting look at today's society and two people violently at odds with it. The "second part" will play at 9:30 p.m. with Sid and Nancy changing their names to Bill and Ted. These excellent dudes must travel through time so they may learn history from the leaders of the past. If they do, they will become leaders in the future; if they do not, they must face the most egregious world of military school. A very enjoyable movie all around, and both parts are definitely worth the $1 ad­ mission. Capping off the weekend movies will be a midnight showing of "Amazon Women On The Moon." The twenty sketches target Yuppies, old sci-fi mov­ ies, Republicans, video dating and life in this modem world. All are very funny and each are worth the admission price of $1. Friday night Club Candlelight presents "Last of the Red Hot Lovers." Performed by the Alpha Omega Players, this adapta­ tion of Neil Simon's play is an exciting tale of secret trysts.

Sunday, there will be a woodwind trio recital in Rosen Concert Hall. Featured instruments will be the oboe, clarinet and bassoon. The recital will begin at 8 p.m. and is free. Once agai.i there will be a benefit con­ cert up here in these lonely mountains. This one is for Amnesty International and appears to be the best one yet. Advertised as "Three bucks, four bands, five hours," this show is hot. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the first band will be Goodbye Mr. Fancy. Following them will be Life After Lunch. A validation of the pop world, this band is good and should beat a dancy tune. This third band is the best band I have ever seen come out of the High Country in my three years here. While this may not say much about And Siamese Urbain, they are great. A tribal beat mingles in found and created noises and rhythms. This results in music that is as obtuse as the band's name, yet still "tres" danceable. The last band is Dromedary. Three brothers make up most of a band steeped in classic rock'n'roll taste. The lead singer's voice is great, and he plays flute along the lines of Jethro Tull. In order to keep up the fun, a comedy troupe has been scheduled to perform in between bands. Come to the ASU Pub this Saturday for a worthy cause, good bands, and a fun lime. On Wednesday, the Performing Arts Scries will present "Shalom." This dance and music troupe has represented Israel around the world. Their performance is a representation of the Israeli cultural life in hopes of creating a better understanding of them and ourselves. Price of admission to the 8 p.m. show in Farthing Auditorium is $4 for students and $8 for general public. Also that night will be a science-fiction classic, "Things To Come." A stunning visualization of H.G. Wells' depiction of the future and adapted by Wells himself, the film is at times aloof, but always inter­ esting. This taleof a post-war world is free and definitely worth your time. This week 1 shall leave you with a new feature, "Thought For the Week."

CT (16840 MIR IS4 �SPORTS The Appalachian, Tuesday, February 13,1990 Buster , Tyson whines On Saturday, Feb. 10, sports fans everywhere were stunned as the then undisputed, previously undefeated heavyweight champion Iron Mike Tyson lost to James "Buster" Douglas. However boxing promoter Don King tainted the magnitude of the event by protesting the fight and not ac­ knowledging Douglas' well-deserved victory "Buster" handily took care of Tyson, beating him from the opening bell. The fight proved to be oneof the major upsets in boxing history, and was destined for the record books. However, approxi­ mately seven hours after the bout, theTyson camp said the former champ, Tyson, was robbed of the fight. King and his "yes men" claimed that when Tyson knocked Douglas down in the eighth round, referee Octavio Meyran delayed the start of the count and ultimately took the victory away from Tyson. Mountaineers maul Bulldogs, 88-80 By KURT C. WARD Assistant Sports Editor The Mountaineers' men's basketball team look an 88-80 Southern Conference victory over the Citadel Monday evening at Charleston, S.C.. behind the 21 -point effort of Sam Gibson. Gibson went 10 for 17 from the field to lead all scorers. Patrick Elmore led the Citadel with 20 points. The ASU squad stretched a one-point halftime advantage into the eight-point victory by ouLscoring the Bulldogs 46 39 in the final half of play. The Mountaineers went 11 for 13 at the charily stripe in the second half, and the 89.6 free-throw percent­ age aided in the win. Elmore entered Monday's match-up averaging 33.7 points and 16 rebounds in the last three games. This average included a 40-point, 15rebound game against SC leader. East Tennessee State. Monday, Elmore hit just six of his 15 at­ tempts from the field, and the fact that he scored just 20 points proved to be a defensive victory for ASU. Head Coach Tom Apke of the Mountaineers praised his team's defensive effort. "We talked Saturday in our team meeting and Sunday in practice about needing moredefensive intensity to be successful," Apke said."1 think that was the key to this game. We didn't have many defensive lapses." AS I s Ben Miller was given the responsibility of covering Elmore for the majority of the game, and was given credit by Citadel Coach Randy Nesbit for slowing down the Bulldog's high scorer. M il ler did a good job of keeping the ballout of the post, said Nesbit. "Patrick (Elmore) couldn't get the ball in good position like he has the last three games. Miller is a very quick post defender and he has a lot of confidence on the defensive end." The Mountaineers also performed well on the offensive side of the ball. "I thought ASU did a solid job of running their offense," said Nesbit. "They only look really good shots on the perime­ ter. They were patient, and that's the sign of a veteran team, to nut that type of offense on the road." By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Mountaineer wrestling team enters the final weeks of the regular season sitting atop the Southern Conference standings with a 14-2 overall record and a 3-0 conference mark. Head Coach Paul Mance is pleased with the Mountaineer season so far."We're wrestling about what I expect us to"Mance said."We're where we need to be at this lime of year, but not at the end of year." Adding to ASU's record is the tough schedule they've faced. In addition to their Southern Con­ ference foes, the Mountaineers defeated James Madison, 22-18. Appalachian's only setbacks of i|i»ti-x By holding the decision tor three days, two of cthrc. sanctioning bodies in boxing (WBA and 'ce «>ajN °C) also lost my respect. Sure, they should reviewed the fight, since King wrongly otested it, but they shouldn't have held their s until Tuesday. By whining about the fight, Tyson, King and all jr associates completely overshadowed Tyson's 1 "res and Douglas' championship. They °ngly disputed the bout, tarnishing their credi"y.

The nine seconds when Douglas was not stand­ ing, was the only period when Tyson wasn't getting beaten. Douglas pounded Tyson, aggra­ ding him with powerful jabs. Tyson landed the one upper-cut that sent Douglas to the mat, and that proved to be his only highlight, as Douglas dominated the rest of the fight. Tyson and his men wanted the public to sec this sole highlight. They tried to make it look like Tyson won the fight. That absolutely, positively did not happen. Douglas won. Douglas put on a true boxing clinic, destroying "lat-footed, non-moving Tyson on Saturday. By unseating the champ, he deserved immediate '-cognition of his great feat. With the victory, the Mountaineers move to 149 overall and 6-5 in the conference. The ASU squad will next travel to ETSU Saturday to face the conference-leading Buccaneers. The Apps will be trying to avenge the 96-94 loss they suf­ fered at Varsity Gym on Jan. 20. Southern Conference Meyran did noth­ ing wrong. He started his count when he saw Tyson in a neutral comer and counted to 10, with Douglas rising at about the count of nine. Douglas did noth­ ing wrong. As a matterof fact.hcdid everything right. When down, he picked up the count from Meyran, the only rules enforcer in the ring, and stood up before Meyran On Tuesday, King withdrew his protest; how­ ever, the damage had already been done. King's protest caused the World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council todelay their acknowledg­ ment of Douglas as the new heavyweight cham pion. This delay brought doubt to those who didn't see the fight. Anyone who saw the fight first hand knows that Douglas deserved the championship. He entered die fifcht a 42-1 underdog and completely devaslatedTyson from the opening round until the 10th round knockout. Tyson finally admitted that he lost, on Tucsday. By waiting three days to make the admission, • yson lost a lot of respect. He was a great cham­ pion and is still agreatboxer. But when he allowed dispeople to protest the fight, he lost his greatness, Jist as he lost the fight. AS U received Ijie eight-point margin of victory compliments of Peel's scoring down the stretch. Peel netted lOof the Mountaineers final 12 points, including four free throws in the closing minutes. ASU wrestlers lead the This was ridiculous. Even if Meyran were a couple of seconds off, that wouldn't have taken away the fight. Just like any sport, the referee is in charge, and he is only human. When Meyran made the count, Douglas got to one knee at about the half-way point, looked atMeyran and took the next lour seconds, as any smart fighter would, to steady himself and prepare for the remainder of the round. Kurt C. Ward Kemp Phillips followed Gibson in ASU scor­ ing, netting 15 points for the night. Phillips' points included two three-point bombs and five free throws. Rodney Peel and Broderick Parker each added 11 to aid the Mountaineers. Peel went 4 for 5 at the line, while Parker hit five of seven from |he field. Parker also led the team in rebounds with seven. they could, but we were happy with the overall effort."

The wrestling team travels to Charleston, S.C., this weekend to compete in the Southeastern Invitational. The Mountaineers return home to take on The Citadel in Varsity Gym in two weeks. The March 3 match will begin at 3 p.m. On Feb. 2, ASU defeated the VMI Keydets by a score of 29-10. Individual winners for the Mountaineers were Antonio Calloway (188 pound class) Tom Elphick (134), Adrian Hines (150), Corey Creech (158), Dale Robin (167) and Chris Zwilling (190). Jevon Morris (126) and Rock Burch (Heavyweight) tied their opponents. Assis­ tant Coach Joe Boitnotte, who took Mance's place as coach for the match, said:"We wrestled well as a team. A couple of guys didn't wrestle as well as on Feb. 24. The Mountaineers then close out the regular season with a March 3 home match against The Citadel. The Southern Conference Championships will take place on March 10 in Charleston. The Citadel will serve as the host school. The Mountaineer coaching staff is very confident heading into the tournament. "It's a two team tournament (ASU & UT-C)," Mancc said."Whoever is ready to wrestle that day will win, and whoever gets help from other schools will win." Coach Boitnotte added: "I feel we've got the best team. I'm confident of us winning." He added: "Our team is working really hard right now. They think they can win." If successful in the Southern Conference Cham­ pionships, the Mountaineers hope to send several wrestlers to the NCAA Championships inCollege Park, Md. March 22-24. S p o r t s F l a s h Ladies Participate in Tourney The Lady Mountaineers club soccer team won one match and tied a second this past Saturday at the Lees-McRac Indoor Soccer Tournament. The Mountaineers' only victory came in their final game of the tournament as the squad defeated an all-star 19-and under team from Tennessee, the Kingsport Wave, 1-0. This game was one of the team's better efforts of the indoor soccer season, according to Coach Robert Goddard. The squad was missing two players due to an injury and a prior commitment, and Missy Smith, a starter, was sidelined with a knee strain. This left the team with only one substitute. Despite the apparent setback of the lack of players, the Mountaineers played a strong defense to take the 1 -0 victory. The defensive effort was led by Shelley Oberle, Carson Satterfield and goalie Katie Williams. The Lady App's single goal came from Melissa Gibson in the second hal f. In the team's opening game, the Lady Apps deadlocked with the Lecs-McRac II team, 0-0. The scoreless battle was "very lethargic on both sides," according to Coach Goddard. In the second contest of the day, the LcesMcRae I team handed the ASU squad a 6-3 loss. The Mountaineers held a 3-2 lead at the intermis­ sion. with Melissa Gibson recording one goal and Laura (Deanie) Goodwin notching two in the opening half. The Lady Bobcats picked up the in­ tensity of the match in the second half and battled back to put the 6-3 win into the books. The Lady Apps conclude their indoor season this weekend as they participate in the Brevard College Tournament. The Ladies will be trying to repeat as champions of this event. Following Spring Break, the squad will begin training for outdoor matches against Salem Col­ lege on April 3, and for the Funnan University Outdoor Tournament April 6-8. Club Teams to Hold Meetings The Office of Recreational Sports announced that several ASU club sports teams will hold or­ ganizational meetings on Thursday, Feb. 22. The teams involved in the organizational process in­ clude women's Softball, men's team handball, men's and women's bowling and racquetball. Each of the meetings will take place in room 211 of Broome-Kirk Gym on the evening of Feb. 22. Women's softball will convene at 7 p.m., men's handball at 7:30 p.m. men's and women's bowling at 8 p.m., and racquetball at 8:30 p.m. Once established, these club sports teams will represent ASU in competition against other universi ties. For more information on these meetings, interested students should contact Dean Duncan, Club Sports Coordinator, at the Quinn Center (262-3035). ASU News Bureau Most of the high school football injuries in North Carolina last year occurred during prac­ tices, not games, and they could have been pre­ vented through better conditioning, two Appala­ chian State University professors say. The 1989 annual report on North Carolina high school football injuries and illnesses surveyed 70 high schools participating in the program spon­ sored by the state departmentofpublic instruction's sports medicine division. Dr. RodWalteTsandDr. Robert Johnson at Appalachian State University collected and analyzed the results of that survey. Walters said the level of injuries reported since the survey began in 1986 has remained the same and is comparable to national studies. But an increase in hand, wrist and finger injuries follow­ ing a rule change may need closer scrutiny. "There was a rule change last year that allowed more use of the hands, by offensive backs and line­ men, for blocking," Walters said. "It's not an injury that results in a great loss of playing lime. My concern is the injuries may be sloughed off and, if not treated, could become more severe." According to the survey, 57 percent of all inju­ ries reported occurred during practices. The fact that the majority of those injuries were muscle sprains and strains emphasizes thecontinuing need for good conditioning programs, Walters said. The American Medical Association lists five ways to prevent injuries in its "athletes' bill of rights." At the top of the list is good conditioning, Walters said, followed by good facilities and equipment, medical care and competent coaches. "We reiterate in the study that by having coaches who understand the physiology of the body, you can reduce the severity of those injuries," he said. Seventy-seven percent of the high schoolsin the state use the services of athletic trainers. Walters would like to see 100 percent of the schools have trainers. "More kids are involved in preseason practices and tryouts than in the games. It's so important to have a trained individual at practice, o that mild injuries do not become severe." •M Working out at the Quinn Center �CLUB CANDLELIGHT 500 Meadowview Drive Clubhouse Boone, North Carolina 28607 (704) 264-9145 presents Alpha-Omega Players In STILL ONLY $125.00 per person per month* Come by and see our model Neil Simon's LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS Directed by Each apartment features: •Two bedroom, two full baths • Carpeting throughout • Complete kitchen with refrigerator, disposal, dishwasher and range • Private Deck (each apt.)

Drug tests smack of "Big Brother" When Bush declared his "War on Drugs," few were aware lhat the first casualties would be our personal freedoms. A sad example is the recent proposal to test all Pell | Grantrecipients for prior drug use. This proposal should not be allowed to become law [or several reasons. First, this kind of unwarranted prying by the government is a violation of our personal freedoms. Certainly, if a Pell Grant recipient's past drug use posed any kind of real threat to the public, the testing could be warranted (as in the case of airline pilots). However, Pell Grant recipients are surely no more likely to be in a position to harm others by their drug use than other average citizens. Many argue that government monies should not go to support someone's drug habit. This is true; however, all students who attend state-supported institutions are .recipients of government money (to the tune of three fourths of tuition costs). Are we all next? Indiscriminate drug testing of all students may be just around the corner if we allow this frightening precedent to be set. Perhaps more importantly, this policy discriminates against a group of people who are already suspiciously under-represented at colleges—the poor. Only people who need this money receive it. The government is, in effect, saying, "Look, we know a bunch of you poor people use drugs, and we're going to make good and sure you are never able to attend college and better your lives."This law is a slap in the face to poor Americans. Along the same lines, the government is establishing a stranglehold on those who desperately need these Pell Grants. Many people have nochoice but to submit to these !j discriminatory drug tests for fear they will not be able to attend college in the future. If we allow this kind of "Big Brother" mentality-bending the constitution to fit the tocial mores of the day-then we are parties to a bleak future for American democracy. Finally, why are we so concerned with drug use? We don't refuse money toformer Burderers, drug dealers or other criminals. Are we saying drug users are the absolute worst elements in our society? Certainly, many would disagree. Rapists are scared of women As adults, we are obligated to admit our problems. As a group of adults, we are obligated not only to admit our problems, but also to take measures to eradicate them. One problem ASU's community of adults must quell is rape. Every studentshould be here to gain aneducation. Why is it that we are not educated about the degrading violence of rape which men perpetrate upon women? Most women can only be men's equals in non-physical ways. When a male forces himself on a female, he is denying her equality. Do males seek to wreck females' self-esteem Litrough abuse? Can anyone who has self-esteem commit such disgusting acts? Fifty-one percentofcollege-agemalesreportedly would rape a female if they knew they would not get caught. How could these people live with themselves after such a heinous act? Evidently veryeasily. Males haveconveniently agreed that females enjoy the humiliating experience of being privately intimidated, assaulted and penetrated. Our male-dominated courts only convict two percent of alleged rapists.Since more than 90 per cent of rapes are not reported to police, only about one in 500 alleged rapists is convicted. Of every 500, only about 50 of them are ever sought by police. For females to come forward and identify rapists, they will need societal assurance that they will be protected from further harm. Society does not often guarantee protection from injustice. How is a male-dominated society going to protect females from males? Until males come to believe rape is unacceptable and undesirable, females will mostly have to protect them­ selves. It is a sad commentary when normally passive people must become violent to protect themselves from violence. I Michael Bovkin show the negative consequences of such acts. Then they should show the positive consequences of mutual respect between the sexes. Police forces should vow to apprehend rapists and protect victims. They should show society lhat rape exists, but also that every effort is being made toeradicate it. They should open their files and show how prevalent rape is in our society. They should encourage victims to seek recourse through police action. They should com­ fort, not accuse, these victims of societal decay. The courts should imprison rapists so they will have only each other to abuse. They should take away the same amount of liberty and dignity from the rapists as the Males who want to help females should not be viewed rapists took from their victims. They should make sure no as traitors. We are, above all, humans, not merely females rapists return to the streets without therapy, and then not or males. until they admit the wrongness of their acts. And last, society should embrace the victim. We must Males who want to rape females are insecure. They no longer stand behind the weak justification that victims feel there is only one way to besuperior to the fairer sex— of rape deserve what they get. In America, people are free through violence most females are averse to. to dress and act as they like, as long as they stay within the limits of the law. Rape is not within these limits. I think many testosterone-soaked males are scared that females will dominate them legitimately in every non­ Justifying the actions of criminals based upon the violent category of human existence. They assume they actions of law-abiding citizens iscruel injustice. Females will maintain dominance in society, not by excellence, do not provoke males to rape them; the provocation lies but by cheating females of their dignity and self-respect. within the diseased recesses of these males' warped I have the utmostrespect for females whohave struggled and succeeded in our chauvinistic society. Males who let their aggression turn into paranoid violence against women are not strong men; they are weak juveniles, no better than pathetic animals. minds. The provocation also lies within the archaic fabric of our male-dominated society. Men must come to appreciate the different gifts which women bring to today's open society. Though women are no longer kept behind the walls of their homes, they should not be viewed as a threat to men or America's future. They should be accepted as valuable assets with new and fresh perspectives. Our society can now freely view the injustices which men traditionally inflict upon women. Rape is one of the most abhonable of them all. We, as a society, must not It is time for real men and women to join and demand There are males in our society who would like to help solutions to this problem. These solutions must come females achieve freedom from physical and mental domi­ from all areas of society. nation. They are often blocked by other males who revel Parents, teachers and other role models should stress in—or at least accept—the status quo. how unjust rape is to everyone involved. They should allow the injustice of rape to continue. (•wlib This new idea is but the latest result of the "drugs are our biggest social problem" media blitz. Politicians are moving fast to give the public the impression that they are dealing with the problem. Unfortunately, this misguided solution to the problem would be ineffective in curtailing college drug use. In addition, it may prove to be an all-loo-effective tool in die hands of "drug czars" who believe drug use must be stopped at all costs. In this c»sc, unfortunately, the cost may be our personal freedom. Jen Jimison, Dianne Wally, Eric Miller, Jenelle Autry, Heather Hartsog, Michael Boykin, Shawn O'Neal and Bruce Minor.

Ward, Jeff Turner and Trey Horack. ASU should remain within its image To the Editor: I have just discovered the plans of the university and the state for building an 11,000 person coliseum behind the Broyhill Center. This disturbs me in that it would destroy many acres of land, but it goes beyond that simple fact. This sort of expansion is pan of a social attitude that is racking our global environment. Stop and look at all the unnecessary development going on around us. Our wants and desires have run away with developing technology, consuming natural resources and upsetting vital biological processes supportive of our lives. People forget that without those little green plants and trees, the environment will change radically. From figures obtained from the administration, I know that ASU has been spending three times as much money on campus growth/expansion than on academics. The "Master Plan," a written document expressing the goals and intentions of the school, states its objective is to grow qualitatively, not quantitatively. Improvement of existing facilities, better wages or new textbooks seems a necessary part of growth; but these issues have been kept on the back burner. We, the students, deserve a say in campus growth when, in reality, we are the ones who support this institution financially. We need to bring this issue up to face with the administration. Change begins in the local sphere, and if we intend to make this world a betteT place to live in, we, as the student body, need to set an example of resistance to this form of growth. Sean Martin ASU Box 21357 We do not need a more crowded home To the Editor: Stuart Shirey said in his letter to the editor, "We are but caretakers of this planet," and as a caretaker of this planet, I object to all the proposed development for ASU. Why do we need an 11,000 seat coliseum? This valley is only so big. Traffic is already bad, and the very things that attract people to the area the mountains, the trees, the small size—keep being destroyed. From an environmental perspective, killing acres of trees by the Broyhill Center to build an unneeded and unw anted coliseum will severely affect our environment. The university will directly contribute to our planet's global warming and ozone destruction by cutting the trees which absorb carbon dioxide and purify the air we breathe. We need the trees more than we need a S 24 million coliseum. Furthermore, I think it is wrong that students' opinions were never asked as to whether we want the Student Activity Center or any of the other proposed development. This is our school and our planet; we should have a right to help make decisions which affect us. Maiji Ackerman ASU Box 6548 See LETTERS pg. 8 �The Appalachian. Tuesday February /? IQQfi Letters Column about court scores high marks Continued from pg. 7 State Farm Field To the Editor: adjoins junk heap To the Editor: With all the letters being written complaining about ASU's lack of action in environmental issues, I have been amazed that no one has written about the dumping going on at the State Farm parking lot. For those of you who have not gone past the parking lot and looked left, there is a large heap of trash. Scrap metal and useless appliances are heaped m an unsightly pile. I think ASU has done a wonderful job creating the State Farm playing fields, buy why this one gross oversight? Pitch in, ASU, and haul it to the dump. Julie Winkelmann ASU Box 17468 THE FAR SIDE 1 just wanted to say how impressed I was with Michael Boykin's commentary article Can students court justice," (Feb. 8). It is the best and most well put of anything written on this situation. I am glad that he felt the need to support students and their right and that he expertly pointed out the violation of their rights in his article. Keep up the great work! Steve Yost ASU Box 11820 Student's remarks possibly mis-taken To the Editor: I think my quote in the article entitled "Residence hall housing applications to be available" in the Feb. 6 edition of "The Appalachian" was taken the wrong way by many who read it. Although 1 do agree that the food prices on campus are high compared to area restaurants and grocery stores, on-campus living is a bargain, especially when compared to other UNC-system schools. I also disagree with the comment in one of the quotes that suggest that the residence life staff does not provide a good environment to live and study in. For the most part, residence life has picked and trained a good team of resident assistants. If the RA is doing his/her job correctly and upholding the policies, the the hall should be a good environment to study and socialize in. Sure there are going to be some "bad apples," but if a person is having a problem they should go down and talk to someone on the residence life staff. I have talked to them on several occasions and have always found them willing to listen and offer a solution. \% \ awf / ' JM In closing I would just like to slate for the record that I am not employed nor am I under consideration for employ­ ment by residence life.

In last night's Rules Committee mectbotli Ash and SGA President Brad Iwards defended their respective posiins concerning the dismissal. Edwards Id that he had sufficient reasons for his cision, while Ash claimed she was wrongfully dismissed. Edwards said, "The reason for die dismissal of Public Defender Kathy Ash i violations of the code of ethics." Ed­ wards presented to the committee a copy flhc judicial codeof ethics with six areas marked which he claimed Ash violated. Edwards said he was called to student court on Wednesday Jan. 31 concerning the presence of the press in the student court session. During a lengthy debate which occurred outside the courtroom, Ash said she felt the press should not be excluded from the proceedings. Edwards said, "At that time, I was made aware dial Kathy Ash was not representing her posi tion as she should." Following the debate, student court justices made the decision to continue the case until the following week, pending a decision to be made as to whether or not the press would be allowed into the pro­ ceedings. Edwards maintained that Ash acted disrespectfully to the court" during the conversation because of "her attitude after the decisions of the court and her temper." Edwards also said his decision was affected by articles printed in 'The Appa­ lachian" in which Ash referred to a client on specific probation as "he." Edwards said that the articles were a breach of client confidentiality.'The defendant was not being treated fair," he said. Edwards then referred to Article 1 sec­ tion 1.41 of the judicial code which states: "No ease pending or otherwise for any court should be mentioned, commented upon, or discussed in any manner by any justice except when court itself is sitting in to consider the case. This applies equally to cases heard privately or publicly." Edwards then said that another section of the judicial code, section 1.41. also ap­ plied to the public defender. Edwards was asked if Ash contacted the defendant before she contacted the newspaper concerning the case. Edwards said, 'The defendant said it was her (Ash's) idea, whedicr it was with his blessings or not." Ash maintained the defendant knew she was going to contact "The Appala­ chian" prior to her doing so. "I had his permission," she said and added that the defendant granted an interview to an "Appalachian" reporter prior to the court hearing. Ash added that she informed Edwards of her intent to contact "The Appalachian" before she did so. Ash said she was told that she was fired for breaching their code of ethics by re­ leasing information to a reporter from "The Appalachian." She said, "I don't feel I violated the code of ethics at all," and added that she was also told she was dismissed for showing disrespect to the court by her actions during the debate outside the courtroom on Jan. 31. Student cases heard Ash said: "I don't feel that should have mattered at all. We were only discussing letting 'The Appalachian' in." "1 thought the specific probation policy needed to be changed," Ash said and added when she talked to Edwards about going to the student newspaper he told her it would be all right. Edwards claimed that when he was contacted by Ash concerning the article, he informed Ash that she needed to talk to Roseman. Ash said Edwards did not tell her to go to Roseman concerning the ar­ ticle.

According to one AS U security officer who was on the scene Thursday afternoon, a secretary in tire history department received an anonymous phone call at approximately 1:30 p.m. The officer said the male caller told the secretary the building was "going to blow in 20 minutes."

Tugman said the entire building was evacuated and searched. He added that once it had been determined there was no danger, classes resumed at 2:30 p.m. Eyewitnesses at the scene reported that observ­ ers were not cleared from around the building and that people were still being evacuated at 1:55 p.m., approximately 25 minutes after thecall was made. Tugman would make no comment concerning this. Tugman said that security has no leads on the case, and they are still in the process of investigat­ ing the incident. According to reports from campuses across the country, ASU is not the only institution that has been affected by bomb threats. Pipe bombs exploded at one campus; others were discovered before they exploded at another school. And bomb threats were phoned in to three more colleges in mid-January, but the incidents probably arc unrelated, a college safety expert said. "Bombs and bomb threats aren't a significam problem on campus," president of the Interna . tional Association of Campus Law Enforcemeni Administrators, Donald Salyer, said. * According to Tugman. the procedure for bomb threats is if all indications point to the possibility of the threat being real, the building is evacuated immediately and searched thoroughly.

Tugman would not comment on what he considered to be mitigatingcircumstances.

Some professors still held their classes outside, rather than cancel them. Security officials still have no leads concerning the threat. At Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., three small pipe bombs exploded, and two stu­ dents were arrested in connection with the inci­ dent. The bombs did not cause any injury, but campus officials were forced to cancel classes for the day. Tugman said that neither the fire department nor the police department was notified of the threat. Police discovered a pipe bomb at a FloridaState University fraternity house. Two Tallahassee Community College students were arrested in connection with the incident. Boone Fire Chief Reggie Hassler said he would have liked to have been notified of the situation "just in case something did happen." Hassler said, "We don't want to go running in on something wc don't know anything about." Last year. West Texas State, Michigan State, Harvard University and the University of Califor­ nia at Santa Barbara were threatened by false bomb threats. following legislation introduced by state representative Congress may require universities to release crime reports fCPSA Tu 1 nis month Congress will be(L a bill that would force to tell students, employees, ap^ "nd their parents how many crimes c"ns>dcr Milp l',C'r camPuses-1" niany Public relations-minded u 'Slr"lors oppose the bill because they tonip" r m ''lc'r schools look bad, co"c8c security experts retoed i •JULI , •• '2 to oppose it because it ^unenforceable. X 1 i*h C no1 'n favor of the law because Prcv''ICCah'e'" Ccmcr f°r tlic Study •rev,. ^eruion of Campus Violence rs°n Jan Sherill said. suPport for the bill comes from Tarcr"s and faculty members who say they need to know- about local crimes in order to protect themselves. Currently, only 352 of the approxi­ mately 3,200 two- and four-year colleges in the country report crimes to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which tracks criminal activities. Bill supporters say the quality of the statistics is uneven. While one school may report a crime committed on what is le­ gally a city-owned curb, another school may decide not to report it as a "campus" crime. Consequently, they say the former college may have a harder time recruiting students and faculty members than the latter one. "It's easy to get a false scnsc„of security on campus," University of Wyoming stu dent Amy Bell said. ".Students, especially freshmen, think nothing bad will happen to them." "Students often have a false sense of security on college and university cam­ puses," said Rep. Bill Goodling (R-Pa.), who in September introduced the federal bill that require schools to tell the public about the crimes committed in their com­ munities. "It's interesting that students do things on campus that they would never do at home," Sherill said. "You would never prop your front door open for the pizza man or leave the win­ dow ojicn for your boyfriend to crawl through at home, yet it happens routinely in tlic dorms," Sherrill added. Just such an incident sparked in the current move to force colleges to confess that crimes happen on campuses. In 1985 Lehigh University freshman Jeanne Clcry was brutally beaten, raped and murdered in her Pennsylvania dorm room. Her attacker got into the dorm because a pizza box was propping the main dixir open, anil C'lery's nxim re­ mained unlocked while she slept. Jeanne's parents, Howard and Connie t lery, sued Lehigh for negligence, claim­ ing that, given the dearth of crime statis­ tics, no one knew such an assault was likely or even possible at the school. They were awarded S2 million in an out-ofcourt settlement. The couple used the money to start a non-profit organization. Security on Campus, dedicated to help other universi­ ties improve campus safety measures. Due to the Clcry's lobbying. Pennsyl­ vania was the first state to require schools to rcpori cTimc statistics. The bill became law in May, 1988. Since then. Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee have passed crime statistics laws. New York, New Jersey, Massachu­ setts, Missouri, California and Delaware are considering similar laws. The penalty for non-compliance would be SI0,000, except forTcnnessce and New York where the fine would be 51,000. Goodling s bill, the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Actof 1989, would make all campuses provide"timely noli cation of crimes and publicize their set rity policies. "If details of crimes are not publicize a student may unknowingly walk ale into a parking lot where several raj occurred, or may prop a dorm door op unaw are that burglars robbed students other dorms where doors were left open these students were properly infonn they might have made different choice Goodling said. Bell believes Goodling's bill woi make a difference. "Crimc(oncampus)happensmorcofl than students know. If ihcy knew mo they would be a lot more careful," R said. �She Appalachian. Tuesday.

The new form is for the 19901991 school year and the 1990 summer sessions. According to Assistant Director of Student Financial Aid Wesley Weaver, the most obvious change to the student's eye has been the Budget Information sec­ tion with which Weaver said, the student must do a great deal of figuring and esti­ mating. Included in the budget information is a list of the student's resources, which in­ cludes such things as contributions from parents, amount from summer earnings, scholarships and loans. Weaver said stu­ dents should remember not to record re­ sources they arc unsure of (i.e. scholar­ ships), but to notify Financial Aid if re­ ceived at a later dale. Also included in the budget informa­ tion is the Student's Expense column which, according to Weaver, has seemed to cause the most question. This column includes an csiimalcol tuition, fees, books and supplies, and food, which Weaver said arc among the easier decisions. Weaver said entries such as commuting costs, medical and dental, laundry and child care costs are more difficult to esti­ mate. Weaver said after estimating these cos is the student must then make an estimate of the amount he or she needs by subtracting the total resources from thetotal expenses.

Fur the past few years, I've carried a grudge against Cupid, and rightfully so. Cupid may be a cute, fat baby with wings, but he's a poor shot with the bow and arrow.

Greene staled. "These songs speak of a different lime and feeling, a lime of the supernatural and mysterious." A favorite song of Greene's, which was passed down from her Grandmother, is called "Barbara Allen." " Barbara Allen' is the story of two sweethearts who communicate through messages, which in­ evitably gel confused in passing. Ultimately this causes the sweethearts to never gel together.

FIRST OF lis KIND: Shown above is a clay model of "Celebration of Life," a new sculpture created by Boone artist Richard Hallier. The most impressive feature of the life-like sculpture is that il is the hirgest statue in the world to be cast in silver. It is also the first life-size Figure to be cast in silver. The figure is presently being cast in Sandy. Ore., but will make its show debut at the New York Expo on March 29. Also, dancers, according to Hallicr, give up more for art than anyone else. They give of them­ selves by constantly being in shape and by having the strength to perform. He thinks they are won­ derful, but still down to earth. Hallicr wished to portray them that w ay with no makcupor disguise. When Hallicr got out of high school, he couldn't afford to go to college, so he joined the Marine Corps. During his last 6 to 8 months in the Ma­ rines, Hallicr worked as an illustrator. After leav­ ing the Marines, he went to the Kansas City Art the beginning of the Financial return is having enough money to let a foundry cast his statue, so he can be free to create, which is what he enjoys most. Tit is type of art is really accomplished by team­ work. The artist, Hallicr said, must be free to create and leave the selling part to the seller and the welding and other labor to others. This way more work can be put into creation. Hallier is being represented exclusively in New York by Shelia Barcclle. Presently Hallicr has three pieces in the Fine Art Collectors Gallery in Hawaii, and they have ordered another. HallicT has sculptures in Los Angeles, Accopuco, N.Y.. and in Florida. Hallier believes the upcoming New York show is his chance for a break through. After the show, he is not sure where the figure will go. Il depends on whether a collector buys il. One thing is for sure: the title, "Celebration of Life," explains lite artist. Hallicr said "If the work you arc doing is what you want to do and what you are gifted to do, then it is a celebration in itself." Ambassadors introduce students to campus By JEFF MEADE Appalachian SlafT Writer They may be responsible for studentscoming to Appalachian.

Their job is to insure that students and parents visiting ASU receive personal attention while being informed about university jxilicies and admission require­ ments. Appalachian Student Ambassadors is a service organization on campus which acts as acotnnuini cation link between students, alumni and the uni­ versity community Appalachian Ambassadors slay busy year round by giving campus lours to prospective students, hosting alumni rallies throughout the slate, and assisting lite Alumni Affairs Office.

"They are an outstanding, close knit group of as Appalachian. They do a great job promoting the university," Patrick Henderson, assistant director of Alumni Affairs and ambassador advisor said. The Ambassadors are extremely proud of their organization and proud of ASU. When looking for new Ambassadors, they sponsor a thorough membership drive in the spring. They seek such requirements as a 2.35 cumulative CPA, a recom­ mendation from a faculty member, an outgoing personality and the ability to share his or her enthusiasm about ASU Each Ambassador is responsible for one office hour per week. "Giving campus lours is the high­ light of my week My I irsl impression of ASU was great because of the Ambassador giving the tour. I have alw ays remembered that, and I try to give a tour as good as the one 1 received," Stephanie Lineberry said. TOUTS run Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday at 11 a.m. The purpose of each one hour tour is to introduce the campus by pointing out key buildings and residents halls and Following each lour. Ambassadors write a let­ ter to each prospective student from the lour. "It is important to write your follow-up letters soon after the lour, so you can remember who they (the students) are and make it more personal," Scott Cannon said. The letter thanks prospective stu­ dents for being interested in ASU and reminds them to keep Appalachian their top choice. Along with their work on campus. Ambassa­ dors enjoy involvement with the community through service projects such as "Skate for the Homeless." The students also attend conferences which help them develop new and creative ideas to help better the organization. Tampa held the district conference last year, and East Carolina University was the location of the national confer­ ence this semester. The group attended both con­ ferences and plans to attend another district con­ ference at Carson-Newman in die spring, along w ith the national conference at Kansas University next fall. At ECU, Jeff Bark ley, Scott Cannon and Sarah by educating people on admission requirements, Oldham had the honor of giving a workshop on meal plans and parking. Each Ambassador adds "Making the Most of Campus Tours" for Amassahis or her experiences about campus life and dors from across the country and Canada. "The answers any other questions parents and prospec­ seminar we presented was a very good learning tive students may have. experience for us as well as those who attended," During 1988 Ambassadors gave 690 lours to Oldham said. North Carolina students, 417 to out-of-state stu­ dents and 1,351 to parents and friends, which amounted to 2,500 tours durintt the vcar Last year, Ambassadorsprovided lours to about 3,(KK)campus visitors during those two days. The Office of Admissions, for the '89-'90 academic year, received 8,700 applications from high school seniors. Joe Watts, director of admissions, said. Because of all the applications turned in, we were able to select some excellent applicants." The average SAT score for the 1989 freshmen class w as970, and the average GPA was 3.2. Walls said that the outstanding number of applications re­ turned was a positive reflection of the efforts of Ambassadors. Alumni involvement is another major aspect of ASU Ambassadors. An alumni contact table is set up on the home side during football games for alumni to gather information concerning events like Young Alumni Day, Homecoming, spring rallies antl concerts. Items such as game sched­ ules, window dccals antl pens are available at the contact table. ASU Student Ambassadors constantly work to improve the organization."An emphasis on build­ ing, growing and learning as a group has been the key to the success of Appalachian Ambassadors." Jeff Barkley, president of Ambassadors, said. Ambassadors do several activities during the year to emphasize team building and cohesion among members. Their spring retreat, pizza parlies, con­ ferences and the group interaction course are a fewexamples of their team building activities, which bring them to the conclusion that service can be fun!

Major league baseball* the NHL, the NFL and the NBA are all a level above college competition. Only a select few are good enough to make it to the "Big Leagues." Qf course, once they do make it, big money comes jitoplay- Those who are the superstars in college Income the average million-dollar athletes of the pros. But every once in a while someone will explode into the scene who is better than everyone else in a certain sport. What happens then? He or she is elevated to a level of stardom that few people (including movie stars, singers, and presidents) everachieve. Who would yourather meet—Robert Redford, Frank Sinatra, George Bush or Michael Jifdan? I know who my choice would be. Anyway, here's my list of the best athletes in Lady Mountaineers slip past UNCC By KAKKN POPE Appalachian SlalT Writer The Lady Mountaineers had a sluggish week, dropping two of three games. Hosting UNC-Charlotte at home Wednesday, Jan. 31. the Lady Apps pulled out a 61-58 victory. The following week­ end, the Lady Apps traveled to East Carolina only to be handed a 5-point loss, 76-71 Then at Furman on Wednesday, Feb. 7, the Lady Apps dropped another game, 74-63. ASU's first half against the Lady 49ers was close, with the Lady Apps holding a one-point advantage at the half, 27-26. In the first half the 49ers shot 41.4 percent from the field while the Lady Apps surprisingly only had a 33.3 field-goal percentage. Although neither team's field-goal percentage was gixid, the free throw percentage for each team was high. UNCC shot 66.7 percent and ASU 80.0 percent during the First half. The Lady Mountaineers field-goal percentage improved during the second half while the Lady 49crs field-goal percentage lessened. Both teams maintained their good free throw percentage, ASU outscored UNCC by two for the half, to win by three, 61-58. Glenda Cunningham led the Lady Mountain­ eers in scoring, with 24 points. She was followed by Karen Rruca with 10, Jimma Smith, nine; Shannon Thomas, eight; Mit/i Younl, six; and Val Morgan and Neoma Konrad each with two. The following weekend, the Lady Apis irai eled to Greenville to lake on East Carolina. ASU led at the half once again by a point. Although the Lady Mountaineers had the advantage at the half, their statistics were not as good as die Lady Pirales'. East Carolina pulled away for a 76-71 win. Scoring for ASU were Cunningtiam, 22; Tho­ mas, 12; Gruca, 12; Younl, seven; Smith, six; Ikard, six; Morgan, four; and Konrad. two. Following their lough loss to ECU. the Lady Apps were up against yet another lough contender-Furman. Furman had a 14-7 overall record and was 5-1 in the conference coming into their game with ASU. Both teams had trouble getting started. The Lady Mountaineers shot only 28 percent from the field, but made up for it at the free throw line, shooting 60 percent from the strqie. Furman shot 40 percent from the field, w hile hitting 57 percent at the line. At intermission. Furman had the lead. 28-24. In die second half, the Lady A[>ps still could not manage to set the statistics on their side. Furman. on the other hand, improved their shinning from the field and free throw line and outscored Appa­ lachian 46-39 in the second half. By die end of the game the Lady Mountaineers had raised their free throw shooting to an excellent 71 percent, but not being able to hit the baskets from the field kept them from the final advantage. Furman finished the night with a 74-63 victory over the ladies from ASU, leaving the Lady Apps with a 14-7 overall record and 4-2 in conference play and pushing Furman's record to 15 -7 overall and 6-1 in confer cnce play. Leading ASU was once again Cunningham with 18 points, and she was followed by Yount and Thomas w ith 13 and 12 points, respectively. Also scoring for ASU were Smith. 11; Gruca. 5; and Morgan and Annette Cain each with 2. The Lady Apps w ill host Western Carolina Wednesday night, Feb. 14, in Varsity Gym. Then they will have a week off before traveling to Johnson City to take on tile Lady Bucs of ETSU the following Wednesday night. Mountaineers lose to Paladins again, 91-81 their respective sports. You may agree, disagree, or you may not care. But these superstars have all burst into the lime light of their sports and become Appalachian Sports Kdltor mown as simply the best. Baseball: I'll start with the toughest. Jose Con­ an unreal combination of speed and power, and if his gun-toting, speeding ticket, offseco displays • , s_. ^ __ thc-ficld personality were to mature, he could get even bel­ ter. He was the first player in major league baseball to make the40-40 club (40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the same season). What's next, 50-50? Don't be suprised. My other pick is a John Thompson Jr. Purc Physical mar vel. Nolan Ryan is over 40 years old, anil he still pitches fhe baseball at over 95 miles per hour. Only & few other pitchers can do that, and most arc 20 years younger than Ryan. He owns the record for the most no-hitters in a career (five) and last season he came within one inning of a no-hitter several limes. No one else is close to his records of most l-strikeout seasons or career strikeouts. His pitching arm should be bronzed after his career or maybe made into a national monument, because it is truly a scientific miracle. Hockey: No conlesthcrc, folks. WayneGrctzky isover bearingly awesome. Mario what's-his-namc may catch him (doubtful), but for now no one else iscven in his class.They should just throw out the NHL record book and use "The Great One's" autobiography in it's place. Football: Joe Montana is the first name to come h mind when talking about the best of the NFL. Maybe it's the glimmer of all those Super Bowl diampionship rings. Or the ringing in your ear of 'he 55-10 score of the last Montana playground Jaaie. It could be all of those game-winning, come-from-behind, two-minutcs-left, 800-yard scoring drives that he's led. Whatever makes you fonkof Montana, one thing shouldcome to mind— featness. No one is cooler under pressure, and no "sicts more accurate when the game is on the line. On the other side of the line of scrimmage, only Cc player should be mentioned. Known by his initials (L.T.), Lawrence Taylor of the New York Giants has become probably the best linebacker in ^history of pro football. No one else causes such in quarterbacks, because even when fighting 'Nrough double teaming blocks, L.T. always seems 10 got his man. basketball: Finally, the best of the best. Profesai basketball players have to be the greatest L,Cs in the world. They have the stamina of 'athon runners, the speed of sprinters, and the 'b °f gymnasts. At least most do. Larry Bird ^Pbing but typical: he is a slow, lethargic look'n°n-leaping white guy who has to be ranked of the best.

C mQSl e'eclr'fying player in the game, E By JEFF TURNER The Mountaineers continued their losing ways against the Paladins on Saturday night with a 91 81 loss. With the win, the Paladins extended their win­ ning streak over the Mountaineers to eight games and pulled themselves out of last place in the Southern Conference. ASU shot 50 percent from the floor, compared to Furman who shot just over 45 percent. But the Paladins hit 30 of 33 free throws and out-re­ bounded the Apps 42-26. The Paladins went on a 12-2 run in the second half to kill any hope that ASU had for victory. The victory was the third in the conference (two of which came against the Mountaineers) for the Paladins. Mountaineer coach Tom Apke was not really discouraged by the Mountaineer loss. "My big­ gest disappointment is we didn't rebound well, and dial's a strong point of our team," Apke said. "Other than that, 1 thought it was a very even game," he added. Furman coach Butch Estcs knows the domina­ tion of the Mountaineers will have to end somelime. "1 don't think it's that big a deal," Estes said. "We've just been lucky. We really respect Appa­ lachian State and cherish every win over them. The streak will end. I hope we don't play them in the tournament," lie said . The Paladins were led by Traccy Garrick, who had 25 points, and by Hal Henderson and Derek Waugh, who each had 17 points. Waugh, a fresh­ man, also had a game-high 13 rebounds. The Mountaineers were led by Sam Gibson and Broderick Parker, who each had 18 points, and by Steve Spurlock, who added 15 points. "We've just been lucky. We really respect Appalachian State and cherish every win over them. The streak will end. I hope we don't play them in the tournament." Hutch Estes Furman Coach In the first half, the teams battled back and forth. There were seven tics and 12 lead changes before the score was lied at 39 at the half. At the start of the second half, the two teams continued to exchange baskets before ASU went on a 12-4 run, which gave them a 58-54 lead with 10:39 remaining in the game. This was when die Paladins took over. Furman went on their run, and the Mountaineers were unable to recover. ASU shot five of 13 from the diree-point line, compared to seven of 17 for the Paladins. The Mountaineers also committed 19 turnovers, while the Paladins turned the ball over 17 times. The Mountaineers were plagued by poor shoot ing from their starting guards. Kemp Phillips and Rodney Peel shot a combined three for 11 from the floor, and three baskets were three txiinters. With the loss, the Mountaineers remain in third place with a 5-5 record in the Southern Conference and a 13-9 record overall. The win moves the Paladins into seventh place in the conference with a record of 3-6 (two of the three wins over the Mountaineers) and an overall record of 12-11. The Mountaineers played another conference game last night against The Citadel. ASU re­ turns home this Wednesday to face a non-con­ ference foe in Wofford College at Varsity Gym. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. The Mountaineers return to Southern Con­ ference action this Saturday night when ASU travels to Johnson City to face the Bucs from ETSU. The Mountaineers lost a two-point heartbreaker when the two teams met in Varsity Gym earlier this season. T W O POINTS: Sam Gibson(44) scored two points against UTC in a recent game.

When education lives in glass specimen jars Students, cast stones to raise a stink It was apparent to any eyewitness Thursday that the threat was not treated with the utmost in seriousness by ASU Security or students. The threat was called in at approximately 1:30 p.m. with the promise of an explosion 20 •minutes later. Yet, university personnel were still exiting the building at 2 p.m. In addition, hundreds of students were standing beside the building and would have been in danger had a bomb exploded. The fire department was not even contacted. | In defense ol Security, numerous bomb threats have been made over the years, with no subsequent explosions. Yet, each threat must be taken .seriously for the sake of everyone who might be affected. If just one of these teals resulted in a real disaster, it would signal a new period of safety awareness across campus. It shouldn't be necessary for a disaster to take place before such threats are taken seriously. In theevent of a bomb threat—if indications point to the threat being truefoe threatened building is evacuated immediately and searched thoroughly, fticn Security conducts a follow-up investigation. This indicates that some threats arc not taken seriously and some threatened buildings are not evacuated. For the sake of every person on campus, let's hope this has never been the case. Campus safety encompasses more than just bomb threats. Winter weather concerns are very prevalent this time of year.

The only way to get that is to sign a paper anthagrecraftirfejt' your right to privacy. J The Jan. 30 meeting of our Student Government Association was marked by controversy over a proposed resolution to do away with the policy of requiring stu­ dents who accept a Pell Grant to sign a paper saying that they will not use drugs.

So, indirectly, we all gel financial aid from thegovernment by being allowed to attend oneof itsschools. Should all students at a public school be required to submit to a school at any lime? I certainly don't think so. Our university is setting a poor example by letting this policy continue. In endors­ ing this action, ASU is supporting dis­ crimination and inequality.

This senior class (those of them that voted on the proposal) has, however, lost sight of its priorities. This university is Dr. Dougherty's monu­ ment, and its recognizable symbols are the achievements of its students. Given his history of dedication to higher learning, 1 am sure that, were he alive. Dr. Dougherty would rather have this money spent providing someone with the opportunity of a college education or enhancing the learning process of those students who are already here. undents and stalf are proficient in driving on icy roads. In addition, the lack on-campus housing has forced many students into apartments that arc out reasonable walking distance to the university. For the sake of those who musl c'r'vc to the university, care must be taken by the university administra­ te responsible for class cancellations. In short, it should not lake disaster to signal safety awareness. Students arc get an education, not to have their lives endangered by preventable equations. c 10 THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON We are bronzing a golden opportunity to be remembered Thank you, Jenny Walton ASU Box 16706 Have we been led to believe a lie To the Editor: concerning Christ? "Any senior who contributes to this statue can come back and say, 'This is what I gave to the university.'" Thus The deadly couch cobra — coiled and alert in its natural habitat. To the Editor: says SGA President Brad Edwards of the decision of this year's senior class to erect a $30,000 statue of ASU founder B.B. Dougherty as a senior gift in lieu of the traditional scholarship fund. "I gave to the university a six-foot bronze decoration," they can say. "I gave one artist a job and another a year at Hardee's because he could not afford to go to school, and there was no scholarship available." In the article, "'Temptation' reveals human aspect," appearing in the 1/25/90 edition of "The Appalachian," Dr. David N. Mielke asked the poignant question. "What is there about this film which would cause people to get so upset?" Proverbs 25 verse 18 intro­ duces why those who identify them­ selves with Christ should be upset. "Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony Out-of-state tuition (per semester) is roughly $2,500, in-state about $500. A single personal computer costs around $1,000. $30,000 could go a long way. against his neighbor." 1 believe that the film, "Last Temptation" by Martin Scorsese is an idolatrous portrayal of Christ, because its humanistic emphasis is contrary to the written Word of God. There is no reference in the Holy Scripture testifying that Christ struggled with being God and man. He knew from where his authority came and what his purpose was. In Matthew 5, Jesus revealed that he had come to fulfill the law and the prophets. He was fully aware that the entire Old Testament was a foreshadowing of himself. A clear depiction of the actual temptation of Christ is seen in Matthew 4, verses 1-11. The temptation was to flaunt his supernatural powers, to meet his own needs (first temptation), to obtain a following of his own, by means of the miraculous (second temptation), and to make a concession with Satan (third temptation). Jesus, the Son of God, defeated temptation from Satan by wielding a weapon that all Christians have; the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. 6:17). He faced all three temptations with truth from Deuteronomy. He was not tempted to consider what would happen if he were only man. He was templed to walk in his own will instead of that of the Father. Christ, "being in very nature God (Heb. 2:6), did not sin in anv way, neither by words and actions nor by inner desire. Even lliough he was a man, he had no tendency to sin, as wc do, because he was God. But the "Last Temptation show's Christ sleeping with Mary Magdclenc in his dreams. If the message of this film is true it would incriminate Christ as having sinful inner desires. This is a falschotxl according to the Scriptures. Jesus, himself, tells us in Matthew 5:28, "but I tell you that anyone who looks on a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. In accordance Proverbs tells us "as a man ihinketh so is he." Fornicating with someone in your dreams would definitely be a sin of the heart. So, the film's depiction of the sexual struggle of Christ is false, because it sets itself against the very Scripture w hich testifies of the same Christ. Second Corinthians 5:21 tells us that "he had no sin." I am grateful for the passage in Hebrews that explains that Christ was templed as we arc tempted. He identifies with us and is our great high priest. But we cannot lake for granted (because it is in a movie) that Christ had sinful or Satan-led dreams and fantasies. Dreams and fantasies can expose the condition of our heart long before they arc acted on in the physical sense. I agree with Dr. Mielke as he stales that it is important that wc understand that Christ w as God and came in human form. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." Christ had to conic in the form of flesh so that we could have redemption of sin. Romans 8:3 explains it well; "for what the law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh and as an offering for sin..." Hebrews 10:1 turlher explains, "for the law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near." The flesh sacrifices of bulls and goats could not lake aw ay sin. Christ came in the flesh as the Lamb without spot or blemish and fulfilled the law and the prophets Regina L.

Tuesday. February /.?. 1990 The Lettuce Leaf Letters Continued from pg. 7 Motherhood is a personal decision To the Editor: In response to Tracy Tarleton's article in riiursday's edition regarding "loving alternatives to abortion," i would like to remind Ms. Tarleton and other pro-life advocates that even though education and pro-life services, such as pregnancy counseling and adoption, are certainly alternatives, they arc not always the only "human" option. I myself am a pro-choice activist—that is my personal belief and 1 do not wish to change anyone's mind on this issue. However, many pro-life alternatives to abortion are based upon idealistic attitudes towards life. Ms. Tarleton mentioned in her article that crisis centers for pregnant women are an option. Indeed they arc, but for any women, receiving counseling and medical care are not viable options. It is idyllic to assume that anyone who accidentally becomes pregnant is financially, socially, physically and emotionally able to carry a child to term and raise it. Is it "humane" to bring a Serving you the best hamburgers in to^n the most delicate croissant sandwiches and subs, as well as the famous Gyro! child into the world who is sickly, po­ tentially malnourished and uncarcd for? Adoption is certainly an option for people unable to raise a child. But again, it is foolish to assume that a high school or college woman can put her life on hold to carry a baby for nine months, then give it away. Currying a child involves making many compro­ mises and sacrifices, which may be trying to the mother who is unprepared to do so. Is this "humane"? Even though ignorance is certainly a factor in many unwanted pregnancies, even people who are informed about, and using, contraception become accidentally pregnant. The failure rate for birth control pills-—corrccdv used is up to six percent. Is a woman uneducated simply because her contraception fails? Adoption and counseling for pregnant women are indeed good options for some people, but they are not the only loving ' options. Before a woman can love a child and care for it the way it needs to be cared for, she must consider what is best for her as a person. To me, that is "loving." Lealha L. Fields ASU Box 17632 Reader prays that words touch home To the Editor: Ms. Tarleton, thank you for your article "There are loving alternatives to abortion in the Feb. 1 issue of "The Appalachian."

Following his announcement, Edwards commented: "When I made the dismissal of Kathy Ash, these were the rules of ethics that she was supposed to adhere to and follow according to her job as public defender. She didn't follow these rules." on to vote on Ash's reinstatement. "I think everyone needs to go into senate with an open and objective mind and hear the testimony of both sides before they make a decision on the dismissal, if it was right or wrong," Edwards said. Ash disagreed with Edwards' reasons for her dismissal saying: "I do not feel I ever violated confidentiality. 1never used names or specifics concerning any case.

Former Student Court Justice Mike Miller By BETH RIDGILL Appalachian Staff Writer SGA Vice President Patrick Wooten made a motion to send all items of new business to rules committee for discussion and possible recom­ mendation. According to the by-laws, this is the normal procedure followed by the senate. The motion was seconded, consented to and passed with no objections. SGA Parliamentarian and Rules Committee Chairman Corky Collins then moved to suspend rules which would allow Ash's case to be heard at that time. then read an excerpt from Article 5, section 3, C3 of the SGA Constitution which states that the vice president of the legislative branch will as­ sume temporarily the duties of the president in the event of his or her absence. Wooten stated that according to the constitution (Article 4, section 2, D), the vice president only assumes the position of the presi­ dent in the event that the president cannot fulfill his or her duties for reasons of removal, resigination, declaration of academic ineligibility or Following Collins' request, Wooten refused death. to entertain the motion by saying he believed it Collins then made apoint-of-order motion to would be out of order to hear Ash's appeal since suspend the rules and to present Ash's case at Edwards was not present at the meeting.

Hinkle added: "I thought it was interesting that Brad (Edwards) did not show up at what he knew would be a difficult meeting. I would like to hear his reasons for missing (the meeting)." Hill said that he found it "interesting that Brad (Edwards) went to most, if not all, of the meetings last semester and did not go tonight." Hill then said: "I feel that senate is not representative of the student body on certain issues. I feel that the majority of those in senate are apathetic." When questioned about his absence at the senate meeting, Edwards stated: "It was in my best interest (not to attend) because of all the anger involved among senate members and cabi­ net. I had a previous commitment to work with the Senior Committee at our phone-a-thon." After the senate meeting, Collins said he had informed Wooten earlier in the week that there would probably be a call for a suspension of the rules in Tuesday night's meeting. Collins said: "Brad (Edwards) had a good idea that this motion would come up tonight and should have been there in case it did. He was just stalling." Edwards stated that Wooten is responsible for anything that comes before senate. "Mr. Wooten informed me that it (Ash's appeal) was on the agenda for new business. I am not required to attend senate meetings; it is my option." Collins addedconcefhing Ash'ssituation, "The students would have been served better had this been administered more swiftly." Collins also said he believed there is nothing in the SGA Constitution or in the Judicial Code that is defi­ nite on Ash's situation. He said, "They (Wooten and Edwards) are reading stuff into the SGA Constitution to suit themselves." After the meeting, SGA Senator Mary Dixon stated: "I feel there has been an extreme bias in SGA in what's been said. The facts havenot been heard. I am waiting to make my decision on Ms. Ash's case when I have heard her case." Dixon added: "As for Mr. Edwards, I feel Brad has his reasons for not showing up. I cannot make an opinion on him until I've heard his side of the issue. I feel Brad has done a good job represent­ ing Student Government thus far, and I am giving him the benefit of the doubt." After the meeting. Ash said that she informed Edwards to be ready, and stated her assumption was that "he (Edwards) knew he was not going to come." She also said it was her opinion that the situation surrounding her dismissal was "the only reason he (Edwards) did not show. If he's got valid reasons, then he should be ready to go." Ash stated that she had not been told the exact grounds for her dismissal asof Tuesday night.

Dunnigan said,"Students who live offcampus can pick up an application at the office of Residence Life between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. from Feb. 12-16. The office is on the ground floor ofHagaman Hall and the deadline for these applications is also 5 p.m., Feb. 16. "All students who want to room to­ gether should return their applications attached to each other," Dunnigan said. "The request for aspecific roommate must be a mutual decision between the two individuals," he added. Dunnigan alsosaid students who return single applications will be matched with roommates selected by random drawing. According to Dunnigan, the first assignment notifications will be mailed before March 12. When students have received their assignments, they have two weeks to confirm. According to Dunnigan, a $300 deposit will be required to insure a room reserva­ tion. After the deposit has been made students have until June 30 to decline their reservation and receive a full refund. No partial refunds will be available after that date. To insure that student assignments are correct and that overcrowding does not occur, we are monitoring the assignments of freshman and upperclassmen more efficiently," Dunnigan said. "We had a situation last year where approximately 120 freshmen were housed in temporary spaces for three or four days. This hap­ pened because we took a gamble and guessed wiyng on the upperclassmen dropout rate .' he added. .A If a situation arises where triple accom­ modations are necessary, Dunnigan said volunteers who will agree to share their room with an additional student will be taken first instead of simply assigning three to a room. Dunnigan said,"We want the transition from high school to college to be as enjoyable as possible for our in­ coming freshmen. For all our students, residence life should be as enjoyable and as effortless as possible." Dunnigan said an attempt to accommo­ date as many students who will be put on the waiting list for a room assignment as possible is also being made. He added that students who have been on the list the ongest will receive the first assignments. �lThursday.

According to Edwards, hehas explained to Ash why she was dismissed. Edwards stated: "The day I dismissed her, with the code of ethics in my hand, I explained to her the reasons for her dismissal. She was unwilling to hear what I had to say. Again in the letter that I sent her, I stated that the code of ethics was the reason for her dismissal. She knows the breach of con­ fidence she broke." Edwards added: "The facts of the case do not need to be resolved beforehand whether in the newspaper or by who sup­ ports whom. The senate needs to keep an open mind and decide at that time (the meeting) whether she was right and should be reinstated or whether I was following the correct procedures in her dismissal. Both cases need to be heard with objective minds." Johnson stated: "There are ways to changepolicy withintheconstitution. We should respect the institution we operate under when we work to change policy." Ash, who was among those who left the meeting early, said she is still going to appeal Edwards' decision by going before the rules committee on Feb. 12, and then appearing at senate on Feb. 13. <M< 5^. i And I do respect the court; if I didn't, I never would have tried to get this rule L Deliverei (specific probation) changed." E According to Ash, some of the viola­ tions stated do not apply to the Public Defender's Office. "Thisfirstone(rule)is a canon (of the Judical Code) that can' t be applied to the Public Defender's office or the Attorney General's office." Ash also suggested Edwards could have handled the situation differently. "Maybe f he (Edwards) had just talked to me first, ne would never have had to fire me. He never got my point of view, and I think he did students a great disservice by firing me." y Buy a classified Costumi n Dream E R Prince c A T I Playboy Cupid o N S Downhill Prices ^ On Everything lnS,0Ck All Skiwear Includes Junior Skiwear French Club The ASU French Club will meet to­ night in Sanford Hall's fifth floor faculty lounge at 5 p.m. All those interested in French are urged to attend.

Apparently it will be a strange mix of bands Friday night at the Pub Atomic Gandhi, a high school hard-core band, will be opening up for ModelTesting, a synthesized pop-industrial band. Atomic Gandhi plays energetic hard-core in the area cleared by the Sex Pistols, Ramones and Dead Kennedy s. Their best stuff involves parodies and a biting look at life in the mountains. Expect typical hard-core played for restless rejects from teenage-hell. Modcl Testing is a band that sounds like the members just listened to Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb and Dead Can Dance. When the rhythm section keeps it up,-the resulting product is verv danceable. And Model Testing doesn't only beat out good techno-dance music; they usually pro­ vide an interesting visual program also. That is, once the dance floor is cleared of all the bodies from the first band.

WARD Assistant Sport Editor Finally, after a long time in coming, ASU is part of a big basketball rivalry. East Tennessee State's men's squad rolled into Boone last month along with 3,000 of their fans and beat our team before the largest crowd in Varsity Gym history. Next Saturday night, it's their mm to host the ASU/ETSU game and I, for one, want to be part of the mass caravan heading to Johnson City for the clash. It's going to be a war, and it's not going to be pretty. As a member of "Apke's Animals," I try to cheer the team on whether they are stomping on someone or even in their worst of moments. After all, a team can't always play like champi­ ons. Something 1 want to comment about is keeping the volume up. Sometimes the crowd really gets into the action, which is always good, but in the case of the game Monday night against UT- Chattanooga, the unicyclist kids at halftime got more applause than the basketball team. Now I'm not trying to cut down my fellow Apps, but some other schools like to call us Apathetic State U„ since Varsity Gym sounds Bjorn Nittmo, star place-kicker with the Moun­ taineers from 1985 to 1988, returned to the Boone area recently for the off-season following a sixgame stint with the New York Giants. Nittmo rew rote the record books while at ASU, placing his name in 13 of the 22 kicker scoring slots. The collegiate milestones included "Most Points Scored by Kicking" in a single game (15, twice), season (92) and career (277); as well as "Most Field Goals" in a game (four, three times), season (22) and career (62). The record-breaking college career prompted pro interest after the 1988 season. Nittmo signed as a free agent with the Giants and participated in their preseason camp. Nittmo said: "I had a pretty good camp. Evi­ dently the coaches saw potential in me." Although not placed on the active rosier imme­ diately, Nittmo w ent to the Giants developmental squad. "They w anted me to stay with the team, in case Raul (Allegre, the Giants' place-kicker) got hurl." Nittmo said. According to Nittmo, Allegre has a history of injuries once the season enters its later stages. The New York squad activated Niumoon week 10 of the NFL season. He replaced Allegre in the next six outings, hitting nine of his 12 field goal attempts. By JOHN THOMPSON JR Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU varsity men's basketball team sur­ vived a close encounter Monday night with the University ofTennessee-Chattanooga Moccasins, taking a 75-74 victory after leading by as much as 12.

As it turned out, the Mountaineers were only a few inches away from overtime, the situation was almost deja vu, with the Apps taking the ball out with a slim lead and only seconds left. At the VMI game, the same situation arose, except VMI stole the inbounds pass and hit a buzzer beater to win the game. Fortunately for the Mountaineers the same didn't happen here.

ASU's Homecoming Game Moved to Oct. 20 ASU's 1990 homecoming football game has been changed to Oct. 20 to accommodate the possibility of national television coverage of an earlier game with Furman University. Officials have designated the Oct. 20 game against Western Carolina as the homecoming game, and will move tire Furman game to Oct. 11 if the television broadcast is confirmed. The ESPN cable netw ork has expressed interest in televising a 1990 Southern Conference game. The cable sports network broadcasts Division IA A football as part of its Thursday night program­ ming. and is considering live coverage of the Southern Conference game between Appalachian and Furman. If ESPN commits to the broadcast, officials at ASU will move the Furman game to Oct. 11. "It's not the money for us as much as it is the national exposure," said Athletic Director Jim Gamer. "We could end up playing Furman on Saturday (Oct. 13), but by agreeing to move the game to Thursday night (Oct. 11), we've opened the door for live coverage." Gamer said the game w ouM not be plat ed on a weeknight unless it is on national television. Dr. James Strom, vice chancellor for develop­ ment and public affairs, said the opportunity for national exposure w arranted changing the home­ coming date. "The exposure for the university and the athletic program is valuable and adds to Appalachian's growing image as a major compre­ hensive university," he said.

Student Judiciary hearings can be critical factors in some students' aca tonic careers. However, under current university "policy," these proceed­ ings may be closed to the public and the press. While ASU s legal system is generally effective, there are some potential problems in conducting Student Court behind closed doors. When the public is welcome in court, suspicions of misconduct and abuse of the system are somewhat alleviated. When the court opts to conduct its business in complete privacy, one must question exactly what the court is trying to hide. As the Judicial Code of ASU now states, all court proceedings are to be conducted openly unless the public defender, attorney general or defendant calls for a closed hearing. According to Student Court Advisor Lee McCas- Can students court justice? For those of you who walk the straight and narrow, this column may never have any meaning to you beyond principle. For those of us who have "courted the courts," this may be an issue which will affect us personally. Regardless of our v ie wpoint, these words are about the justice which all ASU students are supposed to enjoy. They are about the justice guaranteed to every American in the U.S. Constitution and supposedly ensured by the court systems—all court systems. There is one court system currently under scrutiny w hich has attempted to keep its form of justice a secret. This court system has attempted to remain anonymous to all except those who fall under its wrath. Recently, a brave, determined public defender in this system challenged the rules. Though she may have made an error in judgment regarding her duties, she acted only in the best interests of her clients. Regardless, without so much as a wanung, she was summarily dismissed by her employer. She is supposed to have betrayed her client's confiden­ tiality in an article she wrote for "The Appalachian"; she referred to him as a "him." This undoubtedly gave away his identity to everyone who reads our paper. The point of the matter is that she was fired on questionable charges for trying to reform an unjust law in the student Judicial Code. She also attempted to open up the court to the press against the wishesof Lee McCaskey and Chief Justice for Student Judiciary Glenn Roseman. Every other state court in the country is open to the press. Why is this one closed? Judicial Code Article 9, section 27 demands open hearings for all cases which are not specifically asked to be closed by either the attorney general or public defender. The Constitutionality of closing the court even under these circumstances is highly debatable. Both of these participants and the defendant in question agreed to have an open hearing, but McCaskey and Roseman would not allow the code to be upheld. McCaskey is the adviser to University Student Court. His power over the members of the court seems obvious. Not all members of the court bow to his whims—as can be evidenced by Ash. Those who stand against him and Icy, the chief justice can also call for a closed trial. Simply stated, every trial can be held in private with the entire university community unaware of what is taking place. The Supreme Court has ruled that the public's right to attend regular court u^ k. .. J 1 1 Michael Bovkin i N the outdated, arcane justice he stands for can easily be removed.

If. hypothetically, I had been caught with a multiplesocket extension cord in my dorm room, under the current non-interpretable sanction regarding specific probation (Judicial Code Article 2, section 34) my 3.7 GPA and I would have been necessarily dismissed from campus. This sanction clearly conflicts with section 21 of the same code which "...seeks to preserve flexibility of sanctions, so that each student offender is afforded the greatest possibility for appropriate and just treatment by the sentencing court...." Where is the flexibility when "during the [specificprobation] period, a conviction for violation of Student Law will result in suspension"? Apparently, Ash won­ dered the same thing. At the time I was a member of in-hall security. After this harrowing brush with "justice," I (possibly) chose to ignore visitation-policy violators who acted respectfully, Power is not something which should be abused in any lest they be "hung" in court for such a minor infraction. form; it should be viewed as especially contemptible McCaskey believes Ash violated ethics through her when a party alienated from student concerns attempts to courtroom actions.

It is the duly actions, Ash herself. of those in power to listen openly and objectively to Ms. Ash was obviously viewed as a threat to the status quo of student court. She wanted to change the statusquo which she considered unfair. Her efforts got quick re­ sults. Her firing has not gone unnoticed by her peers. As a footnote, I would like to describe my encounter with specific probation two years ago. As an honor student with a 3.7 GPA and no past history in student court, I was summoned for fighting on campus. The serious charge was assault. I defended the honor of my girlfriend against a male who had not only made several obscene phone calls to complaints about the status quo. At limes, this duty is not fulfilled. This was one of those times. Ash's job centered on the protection of the accused student. If being the automaton of Edwards and McCas­ key was not in the best interests of the students she was hired to protect, she should have been allowed to speak her mind. I hope, for the comfort of student court, the next publ ic defender is more cooperative. If the next one tries to protect the students rather than merely represent them, he/she could disrupt the orderly flow of justice. Are brothers living the dream or the lie? uials is an inherent freedom under the First Amendment. They further maintain that open courts are an advantage of the governmental system of the United States. They also feel that when courts are subjected to public and iress scrutiny, the courts tend to improve the way they conduct business. Of course, trial judges can choose to exclude the public and the press in extreme cases, such as ones involving national security. It is doubtful that ASU's Student Court will ever handle a case dealing with national security. Recently, "The Appalachian" attempted to cover Student Court and was subsequently thrown out; other students, however, were allowed to stay. It »ould seem obvious that including some people, while excluding others, is 'violation of civil rights. Perhaps at ASU,some people have more rights than others. lust what is happening in Student Court that merits such secretiveness? Now can anyone know if abuses are taking place when thepublic is excluded? % is Student Court trying to deny rights that no other court in the country can? The preamble to the Judicial Code states: "The University Judicial System tt'sts to promote justice and fairness, to encourage responsibility, and to i*oiect the rights of the indi vidr.al and the university community." However, °f *ilh the way court is now being conducted, it is solely the "responsibility" court personnel to determine if they are upholding their pledge to the diversity.

The new generation of black collegians Murphy is a 19-year-old history major has a lot of prejudicial attitudes to face, Appalachian Columnist but none so pertinent as racism among ourselves. With slogans such as "Fight the power" and "It's a black thang, you wouldn't understand," our ascension is hopeless. In his speech. Murphy stated,"...racism is a dog that we must muzzle...as blacks, we should try to make the people under­ stand. Slogans such as these merely per­ petuate the stereotype . If we want to 'Fight the power,' we must fight the power of racism by unclinching our fists and unfrowning our faces." He went on later to add, "Here we are30 years later. We still have the KKK, blacks are still in the poorhouse and we, as a people, are still oppressed.... Still, I am not going to let the way one acts toward me dictate the way I react toward them. In the 1960s it was 'non-violence-vs-violence;' in the 1990s, it is 'non-violence-vs-nonexistence.'" Blacks have become violent against everyone in America's melting pot. We cannot excel as a people until we learn to have self-respect and respect for others. After hearing such a remarkable speech by a truly dynamic young man, I was compelled to see how others viewed Murphy. I interviewed Rev. Willie C. Fleming, coordinator of multicultural affairs in the Center for Student Involve­ ment and Leadership, on the day after the commemoration. Rev. Fleming stated, "The speech was inspiring and challeng­ ing. It shows that Reggie is far more mature than his biological years indicate. Not only does he speak a good game, I really believe the young man lives it." I, too, believe Reggie leads the life. We, as black and white Americans, must strive to become like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Mahatma Gandhi; John F. Kennedy; and yes, even Reginald Murphy. As college students, we must try to seek knowledge that will not only better our­ selves, but also help our society to lov­ ingly grow. We must overlook the plat­ form of racism and raise the stage of brotherhood. We must start at home. As students at ASU, we must realize thecolor of our skin is no real factor. Color is as useless as a square wheel. Love has no color. Love shows noevil to its people.

One such decision was made Jan. 30 on a resolution presented by Daryl Ghent, director of student affairs. This involved a "Resolution Against Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988— Certification for for Financial Aid Recipients." On Sept. 5, 1989, Pres. George Bush announced an initiative to combat drug use in America. Section 5153(a)(2) of tins federal act requires students to certify that they will not use drugs before they can earn federal financial aid. Part of this application, which must be returned with a student's financial aid information, includes the following statements: "I certify that, as a condition of my Pell Grant, I will not engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispension, possession or use of a controlled substance during the period covered by my Pell Grant...." "Warning—To receive Title IV financial aid, you must complete the Anti Drug Abuse Act Certification. If you proposedly give false or misleading information, you may be subject to a fine of up to Si0,000, imprisonment for up to five years, or both." Now the federal government is attempting to incorporate mandatory random drug testing on financial aid recipients to try to catch these people and punish them for using drugs. This drug testing will only be reformed on those students who do not have the money to attend college w ithout government support. Is it fair to have financially needystudents sign statements and be subjected to drug testing, when students with more resources are free from any such scrutiny? I say no! This is not a drug issue but an issue that deals with the rights of the common man. Last time I checked, I had rights against illegal search and seizure under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. So do you! I am calling for the elimination of the application of the act requiring federal financial aid recipients to undergo mandatory random drug testing. I, as a student and citizen of the United States, feel this is discrimination against those who are on financial aid and feel that if they have to be subjected to this violation of their rights, then so should all students (not saying I believe in drug testing). In defending my belief, I would like to point out that random drug testing of student athletes by the NCAA has already been struck down by the courts as unconstitutional, and I feel that income level is hardly a more legitimate probable cause for invading student privacy with random drug tests than participation in athletics. Also, urine tests more often than not produce "false positive" results, which could place law-abiding students who have no intention of using controlled substances in danger of losing their financial aid, facing fines of up to SI0.000 and possibly spending five years in jail while the students who receive money from their parents and also support drug habits go untested and unpunished. In closing, I would like to say that my life has been completely drug free. I don't encourage or defend the use of drugs of any kind and would willingly support any legitimate plan proposed by the government to help fight the war on drugs. But when a plan such as this is proposed to fight drug use, and it blatantly discriminates against one class of students while also violating their rights under the Fourth Amendment ol the U.S. Constitution, I cannot support it! The resolution presented by Daryl Ghent to protest the random drug testii of financial aid students was debated heavily in Student Government, but eventually lost. I believe something needs to be done to keep the rejection this resolution from reaching the Secretary of Education, because if don the entire student population of Appalachian is conveying the message that the federal government should be allowed to randomly drug-test fmancia aid students. .And who knows, if the government wins this battle, it may determine that all students be required to partake in random drug testing. So stop taking thi vivarin and drinking excess amounts ol coffee—I would hate to see vou go to jail. Any questions and comments about this issue are welcomed.

Edwards cited article one, section 1.42, saying: "It states (the violations) right there. And there are several reasons why she did violate those and why she was dis­ missed." Edwards declined to comment cont1^t "l ^ concerning ethical violations, 1 was told to resign at first. I would not resign.... I nat would have been too easy for them," Ash said. Ash later received a letter specifying the grounds for her dismissal. 'The reason they gave (for the dismissal) is because I violated the Judicial Code of Ethics by breaching confidence."

McCaskey, who also serves as student ju­ diciary adviser, said in addition that a meeting was held last Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m. with SGA Chief Justice Glenn Lee McCaskey Patrick Wooten Roseman, Edwards and McCaskey. According to McCaskey, in the meet­ ing Edwards was told by Roseman that Ash had been very uncooperative with his (Roseman's) office. Roseman refused to comment concerning his role in the deci­ sion. The three also discussed a recent inci­ dent in which Ash invited a reporter from 'The Appalachian" to attendStudent Court last Wednesday, McCaskey said. In response. Ash said, "I figured that it was going to be an open hearing, because only my office and the attorney general's office can close it." She added, "This is Student Court, and I saw no reasons why the students couldn't see what was hap­ pening. According to McCaskey, in the meet­ ing Edwards, Roseman and he also con­ sidered an article written by Ash which appeared in the Feb. 1 edition of "The Appalachian."The articleexpressed Ash's opinions about the current policy con­ cerning Specific Probation. In the article. Ash mentioned a present client, although not by name, who was directly affected by this policy. Ash explained: "The reason why I went to the paper in the first place was that I knew that in order to get these changes made, the students had to know about them.

LATTIMORE Appalachian Staff Writer Residence Life officials announced last week that 1990-'91 housing applications will be made available Feb. 12-16. According to Director of Auxiliary Services, Lynda Slate, 4,400 ASU students live in campus residence halls. Approximately 175 live at Moun­ taineer Apartments, and the remaining 6,925 stu­ dents live off campus. "Beyond the freshmanyear, it is the individual choice of the student whether or not to live on campus,"Slate said. "It is important that students make the decision that is best for them," she added. Regardless of their decision, Slate said, most students are faced with an economical factor that determines what they can afford. She said this leaves many students with the task of determining which is the better deal in housing arrangements— living on or off campus. charges are billed to the student. Canipe said, "The aesthetic value of residence life on campus has become increasingly important to the univer­ sity. Projects arc always underway to enhance and improve the quality of liv ing oncampus." Accord­ ing to Canipe, lobby renovations, additions of study areas, carpet replacements and microwave oven access are all improvements that have added to the quality pf residence housing. Canipe added that the halls are staffed by per­ sonnel who are trained to assist with orientation, to be counselors, and to help with the adjustments students make when they become college stu- For many students, having their own apartment is more desirable. "I enjoy having my own apart­ ment," one student said. "Personally, I don't feel that the residence halls provide an adequate study environment. I also feel that it is cheaper to cat off campus." Many students who were interviewed in a ran­ dom survey said they feel it is more economical to live in their own apartments than to pay the subsistence charge each semester to live on cam pus. "Room charges and a meal card are over $1000.00 per semester. In many cases, students can live in an apartment with roommates and pay While many feel residence halls provide several advan­ tages over off-campus housing, some students and staff members believe there are drawbacks. "The quality of residence life is very important to the university," Slate said. "The university supports on campus housing as an environment that is convenient, desirable and economical for students," she added. Currently, undergraduate subsistence charges arc $580.00 for room and $475.00 for a standard meal option per semester. "These charges com­ pare quite favorably with the other schools in the North Carolina University System," Slate said. "Out of the 16 universities in the system, only one has subsistence charges that are lower than Appalachian's," she added. Appalachian Photo by Tray Horse* Belk and Frank residence halls dents.

According to USSA Vice President Julius Davis, his organization also be­ lieves that drug testing for Pell Grant recipients only is discriminatory.

"That I was trying to make a change for the better and so many prob­ lems have developed worries me. That I went to the students—1 went to tell them what was going on—and so many people got upset that are high up scares me. It scares me that they're trying to keep this secret, and I don't understand why." Ash said she was disappointed in Edwards' decision. "It worries me that Brad Edwards, who is supposedly an advocate for the students, fired an advo­ cate for the students," Ash commented. Edwards responded by saying, "If she were in my shoes—in my situation—she would understand where I was coming from." Following Ash's dismissal, according to SGA Rules Committee Chairperson Corky Collins, several members of SGA expressed disapproval of Edwards' deci­ sion. According to Collins: "We're con­ cerned about the volatility of SGA right now. We have a majority of the senators who are really upset that Kathy (Ash) was dismissed." Collins explained that Ash could be reinstated if two-thirds of the SGA Senate were to vote to overturn Edwards deci­ sion. Collips went on to explain that whether or not to put Ash s appeal on tonight's agenda is at the discretion of SGA Vice President Patrick Wooten. Wooten said Ash's appeal would be put on the agenda as new business and would not be discussed tonight. Collins said, in a meeting with Wooten, "Steve (Yost, SGA off-campus affairs chairperson) and I advised him (Wooten) about...the possibility of a mass walk-out and of the downfall of the SGA, which we are looking at." According to Collins, "He (Wooten) said he is willing to take the responsibility of the downfall of SGA." Wooten responded by saying that when the SGA cabinet members were installed in their present positions, they agreed to work as a team. He said that he feels the SGA will continue to work as a team in the future. Other members of the SGA judiciary expressed discontent with Edwards' ac­ tions.

I quit smoking. I haven't taken a puff in a week. Come to think of it, I haven't even wanted one. It makes me feel good. Very good. Appalachian SUIT Writer It's been a long time in coming for this one-aday smoker. Mind you, my problem wasn't as bad as it is for many of the puffers out there, because my one-a-day habit meant one cigarette a day instead of a whole pack. I'd have a drag before I went to sleep, because the nicotine would always give me a good "headrush." Sometimes when I fell into a short spell of depression, I'd smoke two in a day. (I'm so evil.) I don t know why I ever started. I can assure you it certainly was not because of the way ciga­ rettes taste. So many tobacco companies try to sell cigarettes with "taste," but have you noticed that cigarettes just taste like smoke?

At the end of my first cigarette, I looked into the mirror and didn't see a Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography, "It has always been my belief that I w ill die by violence." The controversial black nationalist, who did not live toseehis autobiography published, was assas­ sinated on Feb. 21, 1965, at a Harlem Ballroom where he was to speak. This complex and often misrepresented black leader was viewed by many whites as a symbol of racial hatred. While his portrayal of the black-white conflict was blunt, it was always honest. To commemorate the tragic death of the most misunderstood black leader of our time, Peter Bailey, former press aide to Malcolm X, will be speaking on college campuses across the country. Bailey will be at Rosen Concert Hall Wednesday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. Admission is free. Malcolm X, bom Malcolm Little in 1925 in Omaha, Neb., dropped out of school in the eighth grade and was educated by the rules of the streets. He became a street hustler and then a convict. While in prison, he memorized the dictionary and became a Black Muslim minister and Islamic convert. He took the name Malcolm X ("X" stand­ ing for the name his ancestors used when they were taken into slavery) and became an assistant minister for the Nation of Islam's Detroit Mosque. This was his power base for his bitter attacks on while society—"all of us who might have probed space, or cured cancer, or built industries were, instead, black victims of the white man's Ameri­ can social system." With an aggressive and charismatic style, Mal­ colm X had no trouble stirring up controversy in his criticism of the white man and pleas for black unity. He believed that the black man must sepa­ rate from the white man and form his own nation within a nation. He told the repressed black com­ munity that freedom is a right that must be taken if withheld—taken, as Malcolm X phrased it, "by any means necessary." Many whites were affaidof this possible advocacy of violence, but Malcolm X referred to political, economic and social means as well as a physical stand—anything necessary. "Malcolm X was a racist," said Harry Williams, assistant director of the Office of Admissions, "until he traveled to Mecca."Williams is referring to Islam's holy city where Malcolm X experienced spiritual enlightenment. At the press conference gathered at his return, Malcolm X (who had changed his name to El-Hadjj Malik El-Shabazz) said that the pilgrimage "blessed me with a new insight." The one-time separatist was profoundly impressed with the idea of brotherhood, "people of all races, all colors coming together as one." Malcolm X had completely abandoned racism, separatism and hatred. Since the assassination. Bailey has been a guest speaker at several colleges, an instructor of jour­ nalism and black studies courses, a guest on many television and radio shows, and is currently work­ ing at Virginia Union University as the sports information director and manager. He is also working on a biography of another black pioneer, the late Alvin Ailey, who was a dancer and chore­ ographer. He is still a committed "Malcolmite" and has commissioned a nationalist song dedi cated to Malcolm X's memory.

ASU's first annual Camp Placement Day will be held Feb. 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the sjudent union's Pub and mini-mall. Fifty-two camps from the southeast will have representa­ tives at Camp Placement Day, and other camps have been turned away due to lack of space. Yates Pharr, the current liaison between the Office of Conferences and Institutes and the Lei­ sure Studies Association, the hosts of the event, explained that Camp Placement Day was previ­ ously part of the annual job fair. Pharr also stated that the day has already gained widespread recog­ nition and attention in the area. He hopes that next year, with the use of both floors of the student union, 100 camps can be represented. ^jfjmncntan mow oy *»nn mrrwon Apparently the four-wheel drive pictured above didn't have the juice to run to the satisfaction of its owner. The owner wants to make sure other Boone residents don't get squeezed too hard by the company that sold him the car. Presently, the car is on the side of Blowing Rock Road near the entrance to Boone Mall, within viewing distance of a used car lot that some customers complain acts too tart toward them. Pharr, a leisure studies major, said he has had 14 years of experience with camps, and has been a counselor for five years at a camp in Hendersonville, N.C. He added that he may make a profes­ sion out of camps. He enjoys camps because he feels "it is really rewarding to work with kids." ASU sophomore Michelle Mills worked at a camp this past summer, and she too stressed that it was a very rewarding experience. Mills worked at Camp Sky Ranch, a camp for the mentally retarded, in Blowing Rock. Mills said that her job only lasted for eight weeks. However, she said:"By the endof the summer, Ifelt like I had done so much. I experienced so many different things. I just really felt like I had done something." Pharr was very enthusiastic about Camp Placement Day and said that it was "good for Appalachian and its students, because camp direc­ tors will realize that there are students here who will make very good camp counselors." One of the best decisions I made to get myself off the habit was to have a super-guilty conscience implanted in my head. I just happen I lo have a friend enrolled in Slippery Scalpel Medical School of Mail Correspondence, the first school to give final medical exams which "n be answered over touch-tone phones.

After a while. §°i sick of being threatened by my own brain. I concentrated on domestic civil rights with peace­ ful demonstrations, Malcolm X believed in world­ wide human rights, by "any means necessary." This scenario was expressed in last year's contro­ versial film"Do the RightThing," in which blacks bum down a white-owned pizza parlor in a black neighborhood after a black is killed by a white po­ liceman. Director Spike Lee ended the film with two quotes—one condemning violence from Manin Luther King Jr., the other from Malcolm X, condoning it in self-defense. According to Mills, working at Camp Sky Ranch was not all fun. She said"It was so hard at first. The first week was the longest week of my entire life." Mills feels that she learned a lot, some ofit the hard way. She said she had learned so much about how to deal with retarded people that she reached a point where their retardation was "no big deal." Pharr noted that most of the camps planning to attend this year's Camp Placement Day are from North Carolina, but some are from South Carolina and eastern Tennessee. He added that camps in Georgia and Virginia will participate by sending brochures and applications. Pharr stated that students interested in work­ ing at camps should be able to find positions that appeal to them at Camp Placement Day. He said that both full-time and summer only jobs will be available in areas ranging from "outdoor pro­ grams to arts and crafts to nature." Pharr added that "Who needs snow to ski?"says By WILLIAM PLRCELL Appalachian Staff Writer "If you like it wet," then check out the new club making waves on campus, the ASU Water Ski Club. This up-and-coming club offers many trips during the spring as well as discounts on ski merchandise The club provides a common meet­ ing ground for veteran and new skiers alike to combine both recreational and competitive skiing to create, "a new tradition at ASU." The first organizational meeting last fall was attended by 50 anxious skiers. Only 15 people attended the first meeting this semester; however. President Carmen Cox said she was optimistic about future meetings: "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 great way to learn how (to ski)." The only requirements lo join are payment of S10 dues and the love of sun and fun. There is a guest policy if anyone would like to go on a trip to et a feel for the club before joining. The club is planning eight weekend trips start­ ing after Spring Break. Expected trips are planned for Lake Norman, Lake Watauga, Kerr Scott Reservoir in Wilkesboro and Lake Hickory for skiing, hydrosliding, tubing, waverunning and sailing. Several of the trips will be overnight with lodging arranged at lakehouses the club members own. Trips are also planned for the summer, if there is enough interest. retary Jennifer Vilas, Treasurer Crissy Marks and Secretary Noel Pointer. The adviser to the club is Dr. Fred Webb of the geology department. Cox and Hadly first talked about forming a water ski club while attending a Durham Bulls game last year. The fact that Carolina had a suc­ cessful Snow Ski Club prompted the idea of a club for water skiing for Appalachian. The long term goal of the club is to organize a coed team for intercollegiate competition. Other universities that compete in North Carolina are UNC-Chapel Hill, N.C. State, and East Carolina. The club requests women who can ski well for the team formation join. Water ski competition in­ volves the average scores of performances by six men and six women. Most teams do not have six women, which significantly lowers the team's score. The current officers struggled with the devel­ opmental stages of the club last semester. "Asso­ ciate Director of Student Leadership Dino DiBernardi, the ASU Ski Club, and the Carolina Water Ski Club offered a lotof help inorganization of the club and development of the club's constitution." Cox said. If a team can be created, then the course is clear for the purchase of a boat. Companies are willing to sell ski boats at cost to schools with competing tcams.The club now uses boats and equipment that members own. The officers of the club, other than Cox are. President Sallv Hadly, Corresponding Sec­ According to Cox one of the biggest problems is motivation, "I'm tired of hearing people say you can't have a club for water skiing in the moun­ tains." When asked about the criticism the club has received about its entire existence being ab­ surd perhaps because of location, Vilas responded, Carolina has a Snow Ski Club and no mountains and no snow! Cox added: "There are several lakes less than an hour away from ASU, Lake Hickory_and_Lake Watuaga, for example. There According toMills, working at CampSky Ranch "was the hardest job I've ever had, but it was the most rewarding .... That's almost a cliche, 're­ warding,' but it really was...It wasn't always fun and wonderful... but when I look back it was such a good experience." Mills described her work as a "unique" experience, and plans to work at Camp Sky Ranch again this summer. Camp Sky Ranch will participate in Camp Placement Day. are a lot of people interested in water skiing at ASU, and this club allows contact between avid skiers." The club will hold a raffle this month to earn money for trips this spring. A pair of leal colored skis, a vest and rope all donated by Tapcrflcx will be raffled off as well as dinners in several local restaurants. Tickets will be sold in the student union for SI, from Feb. 7 to Feb. 27. There will be a display in the student union, starting Feb. 6, containing information about the club and the raffle. Many companies have donated equipment or offered discounts for the Water Ski Club and its members. These companies include: Wellington Leisure Products Inc., Cut-N-Jump. Waterwork. Ski Warm. Wavelength and Sun-N-Snow. The club could not exist without the enthusiastic members who donate their boats and equipment, and we would like to thank them also," Cox said. The ASU Water Ski Club hopes to establish a firm foundation in this first year. The support of the student body will ensure smooth sailing for the club's success. The next meeting will be held Feb.7 in room 211 of the student union at 5 p.m. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Tickets to the Super Bowl are expensive and sell out months in ad­ vance. Apj*l»chi«n SufT Writer By BRAD EDWARDS Appalachian Staff Writer ASU Student Trainer Scottic Patton recently returned from New Orleans, where he was an assistant to the head trainers of the Super Bowl Major Larry Holder, tin instructor in the mili­ tary science department, had the opporunity to at­ tend the Super Bowl for free and see San Franciso and Denver play for the World Championship in football. Holder went to New Orleans to work for James Morris of Deep Gap. Morris had a contract with CBS to build the sets from which Brent Musburger, John Madden and the other broadcasters telecast the Super Bowl. The larger sets were built in Morris's shop and then sent down to New Orleans in a transfer truck. "All we had to do was piece them together once we got down there," said Holder. Even the sets in the winner's and loser's locker rooms, where they held post game interviews, were built by Morris. After the game was over Holder went into the 49ers locker room to make sure the platform was ready. Holder said that he had to stand on the side of the platform to make sure that no photographers got into the television picture. Holder had his expenses paid by Morris as compensation for the work he did. Holder was in New Orleans from Jan. 10th to Jan. 30th. Holder said the work day began about every morning and did not end until late in the evening. Most of the work was done in the late af­ ternoon after all of the media had left. One day Holder had to get up at 2 a.m. to help set up for the CBS morning show. After the show was over. Holder said, he went back to his hotel room to catch up on his sleep. When the All-Madden team, the best players as seen by CBS football analysist and former Oakland Raiders coach John Madden, was announced. Holder had to help set up a platform. During this show Holder was able to see the Madden Cruiser. The Cruiser is a big bus which carries Madden from game to game, because he is scared of flying. But the entire trip was not just work. Holder attended a reception by CBS for its workers where FIRST OF THREE: Jerry Rice (80) of ihe San Frar!^<H9eriOm!l^iT)ri^iOii^e«!rcu!^e he had the opporunity to meet many of the celeb- Joe Montana touchdown passes in the squad's 55-10 Super Bowl rout of the Denver Broncos. rities that were there.

Patton re­ ceived this opportunity because for the past two summers he has done an internship with San Francisco in Rockland, Calif. How did Patton get this chance? He attended a conference in Greensboro two years ago, where Phillip Horton, President of the Minority Athletic Training Association, was seeking qualified mi­ nority students to assist NFL Football teams. This opportunity became a reality for Patton two summers ago when he spent six weeks with the 49ers training camp. This past summer, he w orked with them again for eight weeks. Patton was responsible for setting the field up for prac­ tices, assisting in rehabilitation of the players and the taping of the athletes. Patton got chosen to go to the Super Bowl by chance. He said. "I called and congratulated the team after the NFC Championship victory and asked if they needed any help." Patton arrived in New Orleans on Wednesday and held some of the same responsibilities he had during the summer. The Super Bowl has many memorable mo­ ments for Patton. He said, "It's hard to describe, everything was so incredible and done on such a large scale. There were people and media every­ where, but probably the best moment was running out of the tunnel with the 49ers onto the field and looking up and seeing all those people, that's w hen it hit me that I was at the Super Bowl." Patton is a senior from Gastoma and has been interested in Sports Medicine since high school. He has been a part of the ASU Student Trainers since his freshman year. Patton looks at train in g as .1 career. "I would like to go on to the professional level, but first I plan on attending Graduate School and studying physical therapy," he said. Patton enjoyed working for the Super Bowl Champs He said. "The 49ers are a first class football team, and each of the athletes are super guys. They all are very approachable, even the coaches." Patton said he enjoys taping players before the game, but there was pressure on him. "There is no room to make an error. You just learn to do the best job that you can." Patton said the best benefit was the opportunity to be there with even one and to be a part of such a special event. �Jhe Appalachian. Tuesday. February 6.

What qualifies humans to be the managers of the world? Is it our above average brains? Opposable thumbs? Does our ability to change the environment give us the right to do so? Does our ability to kill give us the right to do so? If so, is it wrong to expect humans to kill other humans? Can we be expected to limit the use of our obvious leverage over other animals because we are ethically advanced? Have we proven to be exemplary wardens of Earth? We have made several mistakes which question our abilities and, therefore, our right to determine Earth's fate. Earth s population is dwindling. Though this goes against traditional evidence, it's true. comfortable human existence today—meaning living in towns and cities—we clear our land of forests. The felled trees are then made useful to humans through pulping, building, and burning. The latter use, especially, exhausts our oxygen sup­ ply. Sure, cutting down trees takes away their ability to provide animals with oxygen, but burning them as fuel reclaims the oxygen they have already produced. In essence, we are racing toward our doom with every child that is bom. Our artificial habitats, which culmi­ nate in "palatial" settings such as New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Moscow and Bei Jing, limit the habitats of other animals. I stress other because we are also animals. For every human bom on Earth, several other animals must perish.We use some of these animals to feed and clothe ourselves. Some are merely killed because we choose not to co-exist with them. This has been termed the survival of the fittest, but I think it is the proliferation of the stupid. Before long there may be no chance to leave our palaces to see where we came from. We will be forced to view other habitats through the pits and rails of the palace zoo. Because of the overabundant amount of people on Earth, our environment is radically changing. For Of course, ranches will become ever more popular. With no animals in the wild, we will have to rely on Was wildlife ever intended to be viewed as an oddity with only token existence on Earth? No longer will humans have to lower themselves u> the status of hunter. We will not have to rely on our old abilities to outwit animals; animals will have no uncul­ tured purpose at all. We will be supreme among all animals which have no outside chance of survival. Lnlike the way a victorious hunter would place his foot on his vanquished prey in days of yore, furriers w ill place their thumbs upon the helpless necks of our caged animals, and butchers will pull the blade across the throats of our penned herds. Yes, then we will be the supreme animal. Having vanquished our prey, we will stand alone on Earth. Nature will be a thing of the past, obliterated without mercy, a spectral monument to our dominance. Then we will have only each other to dominate. At this stage, with all our prior experience, we should have no problem exterminating ourselves. Then Mother Nature will return from human im­ posed purgatory to erase the vestiges of human exis­ tence. Considering all the waste we produce, the task will bedifficult. After she takes millcnia to complete the job, she will have to rebuild. Her only regret might be the knowledge that some­ thing like man may arise from her endeavors. After all, she is not God; she is not perfect. How can she expect her creations to be? Like all life, regardless of its level of development, she must hope for die best and learn from her mistakes. Maybe if she doesn't give any animals op|x>sable thumbs this time, they won't come to believe they are her masters. Can Mother Nature leam before it is too late? When living in a material world The fur choice can mean feast or famine By Richard Truax Appalachian Stiff Writer iLiL'r Furs arc hot these days! They seem to have acquired some innate power to make people jump up and down and sweat in dicir pants. The debate over furs is getting hotter every day. There are more and more ar­ ticles written, speeches and precious air time on the evening news devoted to the issue of furs. I have a hard time under­ standing how so many people have gotten so hot on this topic. The anti-fur movement's pointsof outrage are the same points that make the issue so weak. Fanaticism seems to have taken over, and everyone wants to jump on the band­ wagon. Many of the strongest backers of the anti-fur movement are walking, talk­ ing models of hypocrisy. Many fur oppo­ nents have not taken time to stop and really examine the issue. Because of this, the anti-fur movement has gotten bigger than the issue. The resources of the environmentalist movement are too scarce to spend so much energy on an issue that is so weak and small. This drain of resources, combined with the alienation of the mainstream moderate American —caused by the vio­ lent and unfounded attacks on fur wear­ ers—has made the fur issue a white elephant for the environmentalist movement.

I haven't heard anyone stand­ ing up for the rights of fish and lobsters. Another major issue is the case of van­ ity.

An act that just about every American takes part in is the killing of rats and mice. We can rationalize using poisons that lit­ erally rot a rat from the inside out, but not trapping minks and foxes. Do mice and rats not feel pain? Are minks and foxes more important than rats and mice? Most folks also eat fish. Have you ever wondered what a fish goes through to come to your local grocery story? It is slowly dragged behind a boat while it drowns, and if it survives then it is tossed onto ice to slowly freeze to death. This way we can have our fish nice and fresh. This New Years, I made that resolution again. I resolved for the fifth year in a row to get in shape. And what better way, I asked myself, than aerobics at the Quinn Center? After all, I paid for them already. So, after an experiment with a toning class (I was sore for three days), I decided to try low-unpact aerobics. I needed a class before 5 p.m., and I found that there was one scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30.1 found this information on a photocopied paper I picked up in the Quinn Center. This information was also in "The Appalachian" of Tuesday, Jan. 30. "Great! Perfect!" I said. So I hiked up to the Quinn (a long trek from my residence hall). Guess what! The instructor decided not to do low-impact aerobics but to lead a hi-lo impact session instead. My body is not ready for hi-lo impact aerobics. I lasted for fifteen minutes. I was not happy. As you can probably guess, I'm pretty down on the Quinn Center right now. In general. I tend to think the Quinn is pretty great, and that Appala­ chian is lucky to have it. I just wish they would stick to the schedules they set. I plan my hectic schedule around their schedule, so when they don't follow theirs, I can't follow mine. I can understand that if there is a greater demand for hi-lo impact aerobics than for low impact, then more hi-lo impact classes should be offered. If the Quinn needs to change some of its low See LETTERS pg. 8 �The Appalachian. Tuesday. February 6. IWO Letters Continued from pg.7 impact classes to hi-lo, I understand that. But if I go to whatl assume to be a low-impact aerobic class, there is a reason. I know what my limits are at this point, and hi-lo impact is beyond them. If 1 attempt to take the hi-lo class anyway, 1 become a physical wreck. If I do not take the class, I have wasted about half of an hour walking to and from the Quinn Center and waiting to see if the class will be low or hi-lo impact. I just don't have that much time to waste. All I ask is that the Quinn Center make and publicize an accurate schedule, and stick to it. facility. Now stop me if I am" wrong, but I do not recall the student body being asked about any of these new and socalled necessary facilities. The University has put a "ceiling" on enrollment at 11,500 students. Yet it ap­ pears to the critical eye that ASU is planning to grow. This growth follows the way most of us were brought up— "progress is good." responsibility for the success of the recycling program lies in the students. It is up to us to separate aluminum from bi-metal cans, green glass from clear or brown. This program can work, but of course it's going to take some effort. But isn't it worth the energy to know that you are doing something to slow down the use of finite resources? Or do you want to go and trash the Earth even more? ASU is an excellent medium-sized university in a nice small town. Building an 11,000 seat Student Activity Center seems uncharacteristic of a medium-sized university.

According to University Attorney Dayton Cole the employee, who at press time had repaid the university $2,807 of the total amount was expected to pay the final installment of approximately $530 "at any time." Cole said the majority of the amount was paid in a lump sum and added that the money was embezzled in a "cashier's operation involving room deposits." Al­ though he said he was not sure exactly how the money was embezzled, he said. It evidently came out of room deposits which were sent in ahead of time." Cole added that the money was taken either directly from the deposits or at a later time. According to Cole, no decision has been made as to whether or not the univer­ sity will seek criminal prosecution against the former employee. "That is not up to the university," Cole said, "that remains entirely within the discretion of the dis­ trict attorney.' Despite other reports, District Attor­ ney Tom Rusher said he was not aware of any agreement made on the university's part whetherornottopresscharges against the individual. He added: "Whatever their decision, I don't view it as being binding on my part. But my understanding is they have not made any agreement to prosecute or not." Rusher said he has not made a final decision about prosecuting the individual. "We are currently studying what our re­ sponse will be," Rusher said and added, "This is a case we are giving the full consideration due, and we have not, at this time, completed studying it." Rusher added that currently no criminal charges had been made. Rusher said that, although the Dec. 11 audit report said he had been notified by the university concerning the embezzle­ ment, he did not receive the report until Jan. 4 and had not been notified of the Smoking on decline Rusher said he had no idea as to why he was not contacted when the report said he was, but added he does not find fault with anyone at the university. "I don 'l want it to appear that I find any fault in the way this was handled,"he said. "It could not have been handled any more expeditiously." According to Cole, state law requires cases of embezzlement from a state insti­ tution be reported to the State Bureau of Investigation. "As far as I am aware, it is not in any statute that we have to report these cases to the D.A.," Coleeaid. "We only have to report it to the SBI." He added. "I assume the SBI would then report the incident to the D.A." See EMBEZZLEMENT pg. 2 SGA Senate overturns motion on drug testing (CPS)—College-educated people are less likely to smoke, but college men are using chewing tobacco more than they used to, two separate studies have found. By RAE BEASLEY As*istent News Editor SGA Senate discussed a proposal to abolish a statement concerning drug usage from Pell Grant applicants at their Tuesday night meeting. SGA State Affairs Director Daryl Ghent introduced the resolution which Senators voted down. A Centers for Disease Control survey of about 20,000 people found that less-educated people, who also tend to be of a lower social and economic status, are more likely to be smokers than high school graduates or people with at least some college credits. Ghent proposed the resolution, which involved the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988. This act deals in part with the recipients of Pell Grants, who are required to sign a statement as a condition of their aid declaring they will not participate in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensa­ tion, or use of any controlled substance. "There has been progress in reducing cigarette smoking, but the study shows most of the progress is limited to the well-educated," said Dr. Luis Escobedo of the Atlanta-based CDC. Among the 18-to-34-year olds surveyed, 41 percent of the people who didn't graduate from high school were smokers. By comparison, 34 percent of the high school graduates smoked, and only 19 percent of the people who had more than a high school education smoked. Student Court Attorney General Bill Goins stated " I have a Pell Grant and do not mind signing this statement . I am proud to say that I do not use drugs." Goins added, "You are receiving money from thcm(the govcrment) to go to school, you must abide by these rules. 1 feel we should support a statement of this sort." Another senator, Sam Hcrad, staled, " Pell Grants are one of the largest loans given out. I dc not want to pay for someone's else's drug habit You should be in school for education, not drugs.' Ghent said after the meeting," I feel a lot of personal problems were involved in this issue. 1 feel the student's needs were not served." SGA President Brad Edwards stated," I thi the resolution can be looked at in two different ...when it comes to drug testing the federal government should attack the whole pie-not a piece." Yet tobacco remains a campus staple. Sepa­ rately, a PennsylvaniaState Universitystudy found lhatone in five college men use chewing tobacco, almost double the number of college men who smoke. Pat Wooten SGA Vice-President Elbert Glower, director of the Center for To­ bacco Studies at Penn State and head of the study, said he was surprised to find a high number of students who use smokeless tobacco. Ghent said he felt the program was discrimina­ tory. He said th6 program only tested the lower class students whose only means of financing an education would be through these grants. Ghent said this was the only source of funding from the government which required such signa­ tures and add that 2,285 students were affected by the policy. Of the 5,894 college students surveyed, 22 PC|ccnt of the men chew tobacco while only 13 percent said they smoke. Of the women surveyed, ^ percent said they chewed, and 16 percent said •bey smoked. Ghent claims these forms should not be al­ lowed at ASU, and that other schools, including the University of California at Berkeley were taking measures to do away with the statement SGA Vice-President Pat Wooten said, "I sup­ ported the resolution. I feel it is extremely dis­ criminatory towards a limited sector of students, and when it comes to drug testing the federal government should attack the whole pie—not a piece." People seesmokeless tobacco as a safe alterna­ te to smoking. They very first hazard people "ink of with smoking is lung cancer," Glower said. However, a 1986 surgeon general's report said smokeless tobacco causes cavities, gum disease snd oral cancer. It is also believed to be as addicte as cigarettes. Glower fears an epidemic of oral cancer, a 'seasc that typically doesn't become evident until 'ls victims are in their mid-fifties, will erupt in a , or two when the current generation of c ewers moves into late middle age. embezzlementpreviously. "Theonly thing I found wrong with the report was that it said (the D.A.'s office) had been previ­ ously notified," Rusher said. "That is not true. I'm not trying to say that anything was handled wrong; we just were not notified when the report says we were,"he added. Appalachian Photo by Rat Booaloy SGA State Affairs Director Daryl Ghent addresses the SGA Senate, Other members of the senate stated the require­ ment was only the beginning of a series of govcr­ ment grants which would require students to sign statements saying they would not use drugs.

According to Ghent, if one is convicted of usinf illegal drugs then that person will have his or hot Pell Grant suspended. He or she may then be denied financial aid. However, according to someSGA senators, the laws on these charges are not yet clear. Pell Grant recipients are also subject to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000 if they sign the statement and use drugs. According to Ghent, this can be cited as trying to mislead the goverment.

For MBA graduates, CPS reported the average expected salary is $39,840, a 3.1 percent increase. Companies also promised $33,740 for master's degrees, up 3.3 percent, and $37,111 for doctoral degree graduates. The CPS report also stated that the "relatively small salary rises and limp job opportunities" seem to stem from an attitude change from '88-'89 when employers, worried there wouldn't be enough grads to hire in the future, scrambled to get the best prospects. sa'4 he attributed the slower job market to Ju Cono"fic outlook, which he said is "not as s,0n fir the period as it was last year." to be °eiZ COmnientcd,"It (the job market) is going This year, the report said, many of the biggest is s '8 game of musical chairs, and somebody firms are cutting back. • Suing to lose out."

According to the Michigan State report, when 479 key corporations and employers were asked about their nationwide college grad hiring plans, the companies foresaw a collective 13.3 percent age of fewer job offers to students this year. Ball said he had seen a drop in the number of recruitment schedules for this year. "We have had some recruiters reduce the number of recruiting schedules they make," he added. Ball said although there may be some drop in the number of graduates hired by these compa­ nies, "I think our students are going to fair very well." He added, "ASU graduates always have." According to Ball, approximately 250 compa­ nies and agencies recruited at the university last year. This year he said he thinks that number might drop slightly. "It could," he said,"it all just depends on the economy and the outlook." According to Ball, those who recruit at ASU range from local businesses and plants to state agencies, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. CPS quoted Nick Basia, the author of'Top Pro­ fessions: The 100 Most Popular, Dynamic, and Profitable Careers in America Today," as saying, "Students should view their jobsearch as an extra course during their senior year." Basta added, 'This entails library research, writing reports, and talking to people in various fields." Ball said, "I've always said that the job search process is like a three-hour course." He added, "persistence pays off. If we are persistent in our job search we will be successful. I don't just say that, I believe it" �The Appalachian. Thursday.

Embezzlement Continued from pg. 1 Cole said he thought this was a peculi­ arity to North Carolina. He said, "Al­ though it is not in the statute (to report the incident to the D.A.), I would do things differently if something like this were to happen again and notify Mr. Rusher at the same time as I did the SBI." Cole added that the reason for the delay in Rusher receiving the report was "my oversight." He said, When I discussed the matter with the state auditor, I intended to contact Mr. Rusher duripg the fall and I simply didn't do it." He added, "After returning from the Christmas holidays, I realized my oversight and immediately rectified the situation." He also said the delay was "no one's fault but my own." Despite rumors that other departments or individual employees were involved in the alleged incident. Cole said this wasnot the case. Neither Cole nor Rusher would release the name of the employee who allegedly embezzled the money. When given the name of one possible employee, Cole would neither confirm nor deny the alle­ gation, but instead said, "I would prefer not to confirm on that at this time." He added, "I am concerned about doing that in the absence of criminal charges being made against the individual in question." During a later conversation, Cole ex­ plained his reasons for declining to make a confirmation or denial, "Until criminal charges are filed by the District Attorney, the university runs the risk of being sued if the name were to be released or printed in "The Appalachian."

Their last ' jm, "Fun 311(1 Games," was their first •each the Top 200 album chart in "BillLid" magazine, and they'vealso played Jd-out shows not only in their home jlalei but as far away as Chicago. That's „i bad for a band which has built its ••putation on catchy pop hooks that rejanble the dB's and Let's Active more tlffl the pop which is played on major pdio stations. We'll take success as it comes," said T.m Parker, the head of the Connells' glade Park Management based in Raleigh. -The record company (TVT) naturally the next album will be our big one, hey also said the last one would be our hg one. We're really comfortable with our situation is and we hope to con;:ue steady success. Instant stardom isn't jeally healthy for any band, but in time, playing larger places is a good thing." Their show at Legends next Thursday ighihas been billed as their last club tour, il this is also special because new mateil is being tested out live for the first ne. According to Parker, this is their ily North Carolina appearance until larch, when the band plays at UNClapcl Hill's Memorial Hall. The band has traveled far and wide to iain their ever-growing audience. Parker saidRn«tnn^ock«— a popular stop for the 1 s aid Boston has been band since the first time they played there, and the New York audience has been quite receptive as well. The Midwest has also welcomed the band with open arms. Large and enthusiastic crowds greet them in places like Madison, Wis. as well as in larger cities such as St. Louis and Kansas City. The Connells have traveled as far West as Los Angeles, where support has been good but not as immediate as the popularity back East has been. "New bands from the East Coast always have a hard time getting airplay and large audi­ ences out West, but the same holds true for West Coast bands as well when they come over to this side of the country," Parker said. The principal songwriter for the band is still guitarist Mike Connell, but in the course of the past couple of albums, the song writing chores have also been taken up by guitarist/keyboardist George Huntley and the band's lead singer, Doug MacMillan. Parker said MacMillan has always written the lyrics for the band's songs, except for words penned by Huntley, but "now he's more into the musical side of writing." The trio have also been working on songs together and, according to Parker, they are getting bet­ ter at incorporating ideas with every song they write. Songwriting, however, has not become a spontaneous art for them. New songs are rarely, if ever, written on the road. The band finds it more comfortable for them­ selves to do basic songwriting back in the comfort of theUhometown, Raleigh. "It's generally just an easier feeling and every­ one has their mind set primarily ongetting new material down," said Parker. One of their most recent performances in the area was in Greensboro, opening for Australia s Hoodoo Gurus. The Connells played about 19 or 20 shows with the Gurus, which helped both bands. Accord­ ing to Parker, both bands wanted more exposure, as well as the chance to play places larger than clubs. Since their tours are booked by the same agent, it was all the more convenient. Parker said that while the band has a steady following in the East, the tour was a chance to play for people who never heard the Connells before—with the same possible exposure in return for the Gurus. Playing larger clubs (such as Legends) theaters does take away all the excitement that first-time tours and shows in small clubs bring. Parker made an example of shows played at Charlotte's Milestone back in December 1987 "when the place was so cold that we had to bring kerosene heaters in, and those barely helped out." Parker also said that the band's tour expe­ riences in the past can be easily romanti­ cized now, but "it is belter to be able to sleep in a nice motel room instead of THECONNELLS:ShownhercperformingalIastycar's Yofest wondering where you're going to crash.

"Raisin in the Sun"tells the dreams, ambitions and frustrations of a family in this situation. Sidney Poitier and Louis Cosset star in a four-star screen adapta­ tion of Lorraine Hansberry's play. This film will run at 8 p.m. for free, and is definitely recommended. The two films for the weekend also deal with contemporary black life. The first film is the "true story" of Joe Clark, America's most provocative public edu­ cation administrator. Focusing only on the results of Joe Clark's bat and bullhorn, "Lean On Me" was promoted as a feel-good-about-society-and-life film. Basically ignored were the reasons why New Jersey's Eastsidc High School became"a cauldron of terror and violence." Despite the fact that "Lean On Me" may favor entertainment over reality, enough truth remains that it's worth seeing—even if only to watch Morgan Freeman act. The second flick is Spike Lee's"School Daze," a musical-comedy with a touch of social commentary. Based at Mission College, this look at campus life has the students acting their conflicts out with music and dance. An all-black cast with many different characters presents a criti­ cal look at cliques and racial prejudice inside one's own race. An overall funny Drawings on display |Sodal movie with a few slow spots, this film alone is worth the Si.50 for berth movies. "Lean On Me" will play at 7 p.m. and "School Daze" at 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Several bands will be playing around town this weekend. Soul Britches will perform in the ASU Pub for $2 Friday night. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m. and the Britches will come out later to play their funky music with such influences as the Butthole Surfers and The Grateful Dead. Sollccito's has the Paralyzers for 54 Friday night. The band will start after 10 p.m., and they are supposed to be players of hot-rocking blues in the vein of Jason and The Scorchers. Saturday night at 10 p.m. the Outer Limits will be playing at Sollecito's for $4. These guys have been around for the past four years and continue to be a tight, though occasionally repetitive, pop-rock band. Billed as a benefit cdncer't for South" Africa and Central America, guitarist/ singer Marsha Lee Cutting will be per­ forming "peace and justice music." She will play at 4 p.m. this Sunday at the Catholic Campus Ministries Center, 901 Faculty St. The price is S2 for those under 12 and S4 for everyoneelse; proceeds will benefit the Central American Scholarship Fund. If you did not know already, then letme tell you February is Black History Month. To help celebrate that, the Special Forum awareness and uni9ue Series presents Peter Bailey with a speech entitled "I Remember Malcolm X." Malcolm X was a controversial and militant black rights activist who helped popularize the Black Muslim movement in the 60s, before being dismissed from the group. Later! after a pilgrimage to Mecca, he toned down the violent aspects of his message. Despite this, he was assas­ sinated nearly 25 years ago. Bailey was his press aide until the assassination. Bailey's talk will be in Rosen Concert Hall at 7 p m. Admission is free. Those wanting to go sec the Connells with Satellite Boyfriend next Thursday will need to purchase a ticket soon. Two hundred fifty tickets were sold the first day; beat the rush! Legends will only hold so many people. rustic folk-rock help Indigo Girls fill Legends By CHARLES PIPPIN Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Photo by Mcoto Quinn IL ON PAPER-AND WORTH $6500: The drawing shown here ( Fatli." _ Lilharong) is part of a collection of works by great American draughts.°* °n display at the Catherine Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. For 0rrnation, please see the related article on the next page. I went to Maine last summer and 1 took my Indigo Girls tape along with me. My friends and I listened to that tape con­ stantly during our stay. While driving the 21 hours home we had an Indigo Girls marathon. By the end of the ride we knew almost every song by heart. From that day on I haven't listened to the tape much at all. I did convince myself to go to their concert in Legends last Wednesday night, however. When I stood 20 feet away from Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, out from Atlanta, every song they sang stuck me with nos­ talgic images of Maine. The songs (that battered my ears then) seemed to Fill me with a feeling of freshness— as though they were just conceived. The Girls put on a great show. Ray and Saliers havestrangely compat­ ible, yetcontrasting, styles. Emily usually handles the lead guitar chords, contribut­ ing her clear, high soprano vocals mostly to accent the deep, throaty magnificent singing of Ray. The two also seem to contrast in personality, Ray seeming at times moody and serious, Saliers almost always bright and upbeat. No one seemed to mind the disparities on Wednesday, though-wc were all too caught up in the experience. The sell-out crowd filled the nooks and crannies of Legends, seemingly ignorant of the experience about to unfold. The Girls walked out on stage through the thick noise of cheering fans. The applause thinned as their voices filled the room with the harmonies of "Strange Fire," from their re-released 1987 album of that name. Emily's nimble fin­ gers tickled the neck of her guitar while Amy strummed out chords that, together, shadowed the lyrics the two sang. There were a few technical problems early on; the IndigoGirls couldn't play for aboulfiveminutes, after which they fixed the problems. Once they started playing again, the crowd forgot all about the de­ lay. Darkness;" and a new single from the "Fire" album, a cover of "Get Together," the proceeds from which will go to the hosing charity Habitat For Humanity. There were a lotof guitar strings broken that night, but this didn't distract from the concert, either. Ithelped that the show was very simple.The light show was minimal, with just a few variations in gel colors. The stage was also simple, with no rock-star effects. They didn't need ef­ fects: their talent as performers was more than enough. Their covers were equally well chosen. In addition to "Get Together," they also played a rousing rendition of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower," complete with extemporaneous additional verses by Amy. The perfect group for the Indigo Girls to cover, however, has to be Simon and Garfunkel. This was proven beyond doubt by the final song of the show—a rendition of "American Tune" that ranks Song selection was another strong as­ pect of the show. Their material com­ prised most of the show. Highlights in­ cluded: the opening "Strange Fire;" their major hit. "Closer To Fine;" "Prince Of with the best live music I've ever heard. The small areaof Legends seemed ideal for this type of performance. All in all, it was a very well-done concert. The performance was superb and the audience was completely receptive to the entertain­ ers. I even got goose-flesh on a few of their songs. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to speak to them after the show. I didn't really have time for a full interview, but I was able to find out some items of interest. They will be touring for another few weeks, then taking some time off to catch up on mail (they read every letter written to them, and answer personally as many as they can)and write songs for a new album. They'll be recording the album in July and August; it will be out in September. When they write songs, they tend to write separately. Then they share thesongs and pick the ones they'll do mostly on the basis of what feels best. The same goes foT covers—whatever feels good to listen to, they'll play. Anyone who has listened to their first album knows they are vocal Christians. They remain staunchly politically active and aware as well. Both Emily and Amy see our greatest current priority as educa­ tion. A blanket issue for them, in their opinion both interpersonal and national political attention should be focused on educating the youth of America as broadly as possible, with attention to establishing a work ethic and conveying self-esteem. Self-esteem also became an issue in the choice of their chief charitable cause— Habitat for Humanity. Habitat focuses on the need for inexpensive homes for those people who can use them. It provides lowincome persons with interest-free 20-year loans, donated or inexpensive materials, and volunteer labor. In return, recipients help build their own homes. If you are looking for a clue to under­ standing Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, perhaps it can be found here. In the end! they focus both on what they can give you—and what you have to do for your­ self. Certainly, their show Wednesday nighl,gave us plenty of the former. �the Appalachian. Thursday. February I IQQn " *pr'n9 O Being married to Lisa Bonet will do this to a guy... Lenny Kravitz "Let(s) Love Rule" By PAUL CURRIER which Kravitz only adds to with his wonderful and sometimes strange voice. His words, which are almost as intriguing as his music, seem to be from a conversa­ tion between an older brother and his younger one. It's advice...not like "don't make that face or your face will freeze like that, but rather, in Lenny's own words: Appalachian SUIT WrIUr Take Jimi Hendrix, Terence Trent D'arby, Prince, Stanley Jordan, Paul McCartney, and a little bit of Elvis Costello; mash it all together, add a big nose­ ring, and you've got Lenny Kravitz. On his debut album "Let Love Rule," the influences of all these music greats, as well as many others, can be seen.This 13 song album has several different feelings, from folk music to psychedelic 60s stuff. Kravitz performs all lead and back­ ground vocals, guitars, bass, drums, and percussion; he also receives occasional help from Henry Hirsch on organ and piano and Karl Densonon the saxophone. The opening song, "Sittin' on Top of the World," has a rather funky groove. "The only way for you to survive/Is to open your heart—it will guide." The title track is a slow-moving funk train, driven by a conductor with an in­ credible sense of rhythm and percussion who is not afraid to scream at the top of his lungs. He once again offers friendly, use­ ful advice, and that is simply that love rules all, so if you let love rule, then everything will be quite hip. "1 11 Build This Garden for Us", has a "Sgt. Pepper's" Beatles feel to it. It has a lovely, almost classical accompaniment with an organ, violin and cello. He speaks of an imaginary garden where everything is as yet uncorrupted. You can do pretty much what you want in his garden. He and his family are going to bathe in the ocean like little fishes in the sea/say hooray." Hooray Lenny! This garden you are build­ ing sounds like a pretty cool place...no war, no racial prejudice—and you wait to teach the rest of the world when they are ready to be taught. I hope he is inviting us all to his little garden, because it sounds like a place we all need. For those of you not famil iar with Lenny Kra\ itz, he is engaged in holy matrimony or whatever with Miss Lisa Bonet (they probably run around naked with their noserings interlocked playing the bongos, but hey—that's their business). Anyway, Lisa Drawings on display at Smith wrote the words to one of these songs; "Fear". The guitar sounds as if it is being played in a fishbowl, he percussions his tail off, and the bridges of the song are de la Led Zeppelin. However, the scary, awful, frightening sounding place Lisa describes is the exact opposite of the wonderful garden Lenny is building for us. Ho w can two songs so blatantly contra­ dict one another? Maybe the "Fear" comes from the notion that our world is too much like the way Lisa describes it, and there­ fore the garden is not vdry fertile. The lyrics used on this album are con­ troversial, but so very important and cur­ rent that need to be discussed or at least noticed. "Does Anybody Out There Even Care" starts off sounding like an Elvis Costello love song, and ends up with Prince-like screams. By the way...if you hear this song, you will care. "Be" is a nicesong which covers all the bases of human existence. Junkie, flunkie, doctor, priest, rapist, psychotic prancer, Times Square dancer, or whatever you are: believe in something, and you will "forever be...be, be, be, be, be, be, be. Nice thoughts along with a nice melodic FRO/vi S $ 359 For More Information r , Wendy hull 262-8702 1-800-395-489 6 tune. Lenny Kravitz's debut album is sensa­ tional. He has a great^ car for music as well as an excellent thumb for thumping the bass, and his words (or those of his lovely wife) mean a lot. If you like music that makes you think as well as shake your buttocks, "Let Love Rule" is for you. After all, without music we would all be dancing for absolutely no reason at all. You're smart enough to know the diftefcnce Gallery emphasize Americans Special to the Appalachian "American Drawings," a collection of drawings by some of the nation's best draughtsmen, has been assembled in ASU's Catherine Smith Gallery in Far­ thing Auditorium. The exhibit will remain on display through Feb. 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The majority of the drawings arc from the collection of Phil Desind of Capricorn Galleries in Bethesda, Md., considered to be one of the premiere collectors of American Realism. The exhibition is an exploration of techniques, styles and indi­ vidual visions which investigate a variety of subject matters, including landscapes, still life, portraiture, scenes from rural life, nature and fantasy. The pencil draw­ ings have a photographic accuracy in the techniques used by the artists, and many of the works have a three-dimensional quality. hatched, sparsely-colored and disarming still lifes;Steve Lotz, known for his haunt­ ing, exotic works on black paper; Gerry Tepper, whose work focuses on endan­ gered species and instruments of war; and Tony Eitharong, whose ability to portray objects and individuals in acute precision is considered technically and aesthetically remarkable. Drawings on loan from Desind's collection include those of Cyril David, RogerMediera, Stanley Moltzman, Gail Hunter Smith, Eric Chan, Dennis Martin and Stephen Fisher. One such work is "untitled still life #11" by artist Skip Steinworth, a piece galletw director Mark Alexander Vpljfa techn/t^Tj j tour-de-force for the artisBs use of light and shadow to depict form and texture.

It presents the idea of drawing as a fine art unto itself, and it re-emphasizes the fun­ between perestroika and glasnost. damental substructure in teaching art, which is the teaching of drawing. In conjunction with the exhibit, Nathan Goldstein, a master teacher, painter, au­ thor and educator from the Art Institute in Boston, will hold a lectureon composition Feb. 8 at 8 p.m., in the recital hall of Broyhill Music Center. He will also hold a two-day drawing workshop. And you're still smoking? A public reception for the exhibit and several of the participating artists will be held Feb. 9, from 4-6 p.m. in the gallery.

I directly stated to someone early last week that the Niners were definitely going to lose, and I had a comparison to back up my claim. Last week the undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champ, Mike Tyson, who most say is unbeatable, was knocked down in a sparring match. Tyson iiad never felt the canvas before as a champion, and when I say the photo of Tyson on the mat, I directly connected it with this year s Super Bowl. The 49ers were said to be unbeatable entering the game, just as Tyson was said to be untouchable. Well, 1 figured since 1 yson was finally hit hard enough to be dropped to the mat, the Niners would follow suit and bow to the Broncos. Boy, was I wrong. Mountaineers fall into third place By ERIC D. MILLER Appalachian Managing Editor It was a week of close games and heartbreaking losses in the Southern Conference, with four games being decided by three points or less. ASU, UTChattanooga, ETSU and Furman all felt the sting, ending up on the short end of hard fought games. The week began last Monday with a couple of conference games, as well as two other SC teams in action against non-conference foes. The Citadel started its week off in a productive way handing VM1 a 13-point loss, improving its record to 3-2 in the conference. Patrick Elmore scored 33 for the Bulldogs, as well as grabbing 10 rebounds. Marshall, along with a rejuvenated John Taft, embarrassed Furman at home in front of a crowd of 3,140, beating them by 23. ASU and Western both won in non-conference action. Western beat Coastal Carolina by six, shooting 92 percent from the free-throw line. improving their records by two all-important ASU had to overcome a one-point halftime deficit to down Davidson in front of 3,618 Mountaineer fans and improve their record to 11-6 overall. The Mountaineers used the three-point shot to its full potential shooting 56 percent behind the line. conference victories. VMI, after an abysmal 0-4 start, showed some heart, pulling out three very close games, all at home. The teams VMI beat were all in the upper echelon of the conference standings, and in the case of East Tennessee State, VMI handed the conference leader its first loss in six conference The first nail-biter of the week came on Wednes­ day night in Lexington, Va., as VMI hung on to beat UT-Chattanooga by three after leading by 15 at intermission. Senior twins Damon and Ramon Williams celebrated their 22nd birthday by con­ tributing 30 and 24 points respectively. Damon was later named Southern Conference Player of the Week, scoring a total of 77 points in three games. Then came the weekend, and with it eight games in three days with each SC team playing twice. For ASU, The Citadel and Furman it was not a good series, with each team dropping two important conference games. On the other hand, for VMI, Western and UT-Chattanooga, the week­ end was quite productive with each of the three games.

Records were being broken left and right, but who cared; I, personally, wanted the game to end. I thought the Broncos would at least make a respectable showing as the AFC Champs, but it was too much to ask of the team from the Milehigh City. John Elway, who performed well below expectations, stated following the game that he was "happy we had a chance to go to bat." Elway connect his team's defeat with baseball, a sport he played on the professional level with the Yankee organization. Perhaps Mr. Elway should have stuck to baseball after his passing performance of 10 of 26 for 108 yards with two interceptions.

Women's Basketball: ASU vs. East Carolina 7 p.m. at Minges Coliseum, Greenville, N.C. As for the records being broken, let's take a look at some of them. Joe Montana, who went 22 of 29 for 297 yards on the day, shattered many Super Bowl milestones. Montana threw a record five touchdown passes, had a record 13 straight completions, and received a record third Super Bowl MVP award. This being his fourth Bowl appearance, as well as win, Montana was also able to rewrite some career Super Bowl records. Before the day was complete, he held eight of lite 14 Super Bowl passing records. Montana was just incredible. He received plenty of time thanks to his offensive line, and his receivers found huge holes in the Denver secondary. Other records included Jerry Rice's three touchdown pass receptions. On the Denver side, Head Coach Dan Reeves was participating in his eighth Super Bowl as either player or coach, which was a record. However, Reeves probably wishes he hadn't been a part of this one, which turned into the largest blow-out in Super Bowl history. I had gone home to watch this great winter classic with my dad. However, neither of us was able to show much enthusiasm after the opening quarter. By halftime, I nearly dozed off; by the fourth quarter, when the Denver squad was hoping someone had warmed up the bus, I was packing the car. After routing the Broncos in a humiliating yet boring way, the 49ers exited from the field chanting 'Three-peal! Three-peat!" The Niners entered the record books again as the first team to repeat as Super Bowl Champions. Now they are after a tliird straight title, and some football analysts are already giving it to them. Joe Theisntan has already predicted them as next year's victors, as have other. Come on guys. Sure the 49ers are good. Sure they have built up a dynasty. Sure they were the team of the 80s. But three Super Bowls in a row, I'm not so sure about that. On this day in sports...

' Feb. 5,1990 Men's Basketball: UT-Chat­ tanooga vs. ASU 7:30 p.m. at Varsity Gymnasium Lady Mountaineers win two in conference play By KAREN POPE Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineers, continuing to play well in the conference, beat two tough opponents last week. They downed Western Carolina on the road 72-68 Wednesday, Jan. 24, and beat Marshall at home Saturday, Jan. 27. Afterdefeating Marshall 85-59, Coach Linda Robinson and the Lady Apps improved their overall record to 13-5 and 4-1 in the Southern Conference. When the Lady Mountaineers traveled to Western, they were not looking for an easy win. According to Robinson, ASU has not lost to Westem Carolina in the last 6 years, and "you can only beat a team so many times before you have to lose," Fortunately, although the Lady Apps were down by six at halftime and nine in the second half, they came back for a 4-point win. "Everybody in the league is improved and much more equal," Robinson commented. After the Lady Apps poured on a full-court zone press, they were able to pull away for their victory. "Our press fired up and we had good shots on offense," Robinson added. Forward Shannon Thomas led the Lady Mountaineers with 24 points and 15 rebounds, shooting 7 of 8 from the field. "Our post players answered for us," Robinson said. Against Marshall, the Lady Mountaineers compiled good statistics. They shot 62 percent from the field during the first half, 55 percent in the icond half, and 59 percent for the game. Also, in addition to the good field goal percentage, the Lady Apps were lOof 11 from the free-throw line. Along w ith thegreat offense, the intense defensive play held Marshall to only 34 percent shooting from the Field. They ve (Marshall) been a bit down at this point in the season, but they'll be coming back," Robinson explained. The game started off with even play, but after five minutes, the Lady Apps elevated their play and pulled away for a 26-poinl win. To add to the solid team statistics, individual players chalked up their ownexcellent slats. Glenda Cunningham led with 29 points, shooting 14 of 17 from the field. Thomas led on the boards with 9 rebounds, and Karen Gruca shot 4 of 6 from the field and finished with nine points. "Jimma Smith had an excellent game-one of her finest games all season," Robinson commented. She shot 4 for 9 from the field a perfect 4 for 4 from the free-throw line, and had 12 points and eight rebounds. Also, Ncoma Konrad had four blocked shots for the game. The Lady Apps will take on East Carolina University in Greenville, Feb. 3. ECU is the number one team in the Colonial League. Fol­ lowing the ECU game, the Lady Mountaineers will remain on the road and travel to Furman, Wednesday, Feb. 7. Furman and ASU are tied in the Southern Conference.

Firing a gun on campus and having a pet 'residence hall do not belong under the same heading in any code. Another flaw in the code is the vagueness of some of the laws.

J THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Super Hype buys consumers Once again it has come and gone. The buildup was Do most viewers/consumers think about these decep­ tions the way I do? The ad agencies are hoping they do not. intense, but the outcome was a letdown. I'm talking about the Super Hype. That's right. As usual, the participants were mediocre, especially consid­ ering the high price of admission. At a cost of about S1 million per minute,commercials aired during the Super Bowl should have been brilliantly unique and undeniably effective. Instead, the most brilliant minds in the ad world came up with liule or no originality at all. Even the best effort had serious flaws. McDonald's ad campaign used Alaskans to promote their McDLT and Quarter Pounder with cheese. Not only did they use the Super Hype to promote their products, they also showed people who are usually indifferent to the hype—epito­ mized by Alaskans—how important the game's out­ come was. Burger specials are a big part of our lives, right? If the 49ers won, the McDLT would be SI.09. If the Broncos won, the quarter-pound cheeseburger would be 99 cents. (I almost found myself rooting for the Broncos, because I like QPs with cheese so much.) They used Alaskans who were at best uninterested in football—can you imagine being tackled on frozen tun­ dra? These people became instant fans, in some cases buying hundreds of dollars worth of paraphernalia. The newly devoted fans chose their favorite team according to which burger they represented, but why would they spend so much money on souvenirs to show support for a paltry 30 or 40 cents saving on a sandwich? When the 49ers won, I imagine a lot of quarter-pound cheeseburger lovers became distraught. However, McDonald's executives, gamesmen that they were, quickly mended the losers' spirits by declaring all fans winners. They decided to honor both specials. Denver fans could not have been happier, right? The decision obviously had nothing to do with healing Bronco fans egos. The only reason the burgers were even associated with the Super Bowl teams was to play on the hype surrounding the game. The Super Bowl has definitely become the biggestone-day commercial event in the world. You can bet that real Denver fans were not thrilled because of the special. There is also another thing which I find disturbing about the whole McDonald's ad campaign. It stands to reason that if McDonald's ad men produced a Broncos Finally, there is the question which has been posed, it seems, since the beginning of time. Which is the best tasting diet cola? Joe Montana "chose" Diet Pepsi over its rival Diet Coke, which was endorsed by just about every other current football superstar during the regular season. Montana is undoubtedly the greatest Super Bowl quar­ terback of all time, but what qualifies him or his taste buds to judge the best diet cola? Is it his athletic prowess? It would seem so. consolation commercial, then they must have also pro duced an unused 49ers consolation commercial. If this is the case, and it probably is, thennot only do McDonald's patrons have to pay for the exorbitant costs of Super Bowl advertising, but they must also pay for ads which weren't even aired. Without advertising costs, McDonald's products would normally be less expensive than the "advertised special" costs. Unnecessary advertising may be a part of McDonald's success, but the consumers must pay for this through constant price hikes on their mediocre-quality food. I suspect another perennial Super Bowl advertiser did the same thing in its campaign. Anheuser-Busch pro­ duced "Bud Bowl II, This Time It's War." Viewers caught brief glimpses of the apparently evenly-matched contest, with Bud pulling out a comcfrom-behind victory much like the 49ers did last year in Super Bowl XXIII. This allowed them to repeat as Bud Bowl champions (sound familiar?). I wonder if Bud Light would have won Bud Bowl II if the underdog Broncos had won Super Bowl XXIV. If so, the advertisers would have had to produce a second potential ending commercial depicting something like the Bud Light team holding off a late surge by the Budwciser team. Frankly, Bud Bowl II was less predictable than Super Bowl XXIV, but this does not mean it was interesting. It should have been obvious that Budweiscr would repeat as champions when San Francisco repeated. Again, the expense of such wasteful equivocation is shouldered by the consuming public, in this case drink­ ers of Anheuser-Busch products. Does it matter whal other people think about diet colas? Everyone is different. Just because 99.5 percent ofccmsumers might feel acertain way,doesn't mean the next person will feel the same way. I suggest every diet cola lover buyone of every brand on the market—except maybe Chek and Shasta brands—and sample them for themselves. If you are satisfied with your present one. don t bother. This way personal choice remains just that. The assumption that a product such as cola is better because a star athlete either enjoys il or, more likely, is paid handsomely to promote it is senseless. Agreeing with a star athlete will not make anyone else a star athlete. However, the hyped-up connection is potent enough to sell many different brands of the best tasting, most satisfying products. Advertising pays for TV programs of all sorts. Yet this does not legitimize the blatant half-truths and eva­ sions which most commercials utilize. Instead of pro­ moting their product, they promote, as credible refer­ ences, images totally foreign to the product. I suggest someone invent and everyone utilize a machine which blocks all commercials from TV sets. Since most commercials are louder than the programs they are accompanying, volume changes could trigger the mechanism. In the two-minute blocks most com­ monly reserved for ads, we could "pet"on the couch, do a homework problem, tidy up the room, or any number of other meaningful activities which would not encour­ age us to waste time or spend money . If only we could put an end to superhype, our lives would be much simpler—even if we missed out on the "most amazing discovery of our time."

Literacy tests, for ex­ ample, were used to prevent blacks from taking part in the political process. Recent events have led me to wonder if we should have IQ tests for anyone inter­ ested in serving in stale government. The state General Assembly had one of their longest sessions in history last year and accomplished virtually nothing. Just when we thought it was on hold for a while, we got more news from Raleigh. State Sen. Richard Chalk, R-Guilford, recently suggested girls who get pregnant not be allowed to attend public schools. Those of you who follow the legislature will remember Chalk as the father of the bill that would criminalize sex for teen­ agers. Fortunately, his bill was killed in committee last year. Chalk's newest idea has several flaws. For starters, to forbid young girls who be­ come pregnant from attending school would make it virtually impossible for them to get their education. At this time. their education is of greatest importance. Very few teenage mothers would be able to afford education at a private school. The result of forced withdrawal would be many more young women dropping out of school permanently, living a life of pov­ erty and raising their children in poverty. At this time, young, single women are al­ ready the fastest growing group living in poverty. Mecklcnburg, also subscribed to the latter school of thought. I think information on birth control and better sex education programs would make more sense, but since we're dealing with the state legisla­ ture, I suppose that's too much to ask. The problems don't stop with the legis­ lative branch, however. Our state budget is also in a mess. I hope you brought some extra blankets back to school with you if Chalk reasoned that other young girls you live on campus.

Interestingly enough, there has been no mention of cutting the salary of Governor Martin in an attempt to bal ance the budget. As a matter of fact, $300,000 was spent last year redecorating the governor's mansion. Am I missing something here? Why is it that we can come up with money for perks for our politicians but not for the education of our young people? Is it because our priorities are a little out of line? Why are men like Richard Chalk al­ lowed to try to take away a young girl's right to education rather than to focus on the underlying causes of teenage preg­ nancy? Is it because we've lost interest in solving problems and only want to get them out of our sight? The state of North Carolina is in dire need of progressive, responsible leader­ ship. In suggesting an IQ test for leaders, I'm being facetious, of course; but I think, as voters, we should seriously begin to look closer at candidates before electing them to office. When faced with the dilemma of unwanted pregnancy There are loving alternatives to abortion By TRACY TARLETON As a pro-life advocate and a Christian, I believe it is my duty to do whatever I am able to put a stop to abortion.

With these services, women in violence and hate. crisis situations are given support, coun­ Appalachian Columnist Morning in the crypt seling, and alternatives to abortion—posi­ tive options that enable them to cany their babies to full-term. Another solution to the abortion prob­ lem is education. Unwanted pregnancies are often the result of ignorance. Children should be taught in school from an early age to make responsible decisions about sex, and should also be educated on the different methods of birth control. Programs could also be implemented in middle schools and high schools to make pregnant teenage girls aware of the alter­ natives to abortion, such as adoption, and to make referrals to adoption services. Certainly, sex education is already pres­ ent in schools throughout the country. Where it is already present, it should be emphasized. Peaceful protest is an excellent way to demonstrate for acause.bothpro-lifeand pro-choice. However, violent, hateful demonstration, such as blocking the entrances to abortion clinics and shouting derogatory messages to the women who are trying to enter, does very little, if any, good, and may even further the problem. This type of demonstration sends a message of hate to women who are al­ ready frightened. Some may not haveeven made a definite decision about abortion they may be going to the clinic to get information on their options. If this is the case, a message of "I'm here for you and I want to help" is more likely to be effec­ tive than being blocked from the doorway of the clinic and being shouted at. Pro-life advocates have a goal—to put an end to the countless deaths every year caused by abortion. They can protest abortion with violence and hate, but il will probably cause more harm and do very little good. A better decision is to extend a helping hand in Christian love to those who need it most in the abortion crisis— •he pregnant women and their unbom babies. If these women and babies are given the support they need, the number of abortions will likely decrease. �J_he Appalachian. Thursday.

KATHLEEN ASH K A TUl rp\r Special to the Appalachian Editor sNote: Kathleen Ash is the public • ffendcr for student judiciary. Life is a funny thing; there are no pertect situationsor absolutes. Every rule has an exception, and if it does not, problems are sure to develop. In 1987, the Board of Judiciary Review made a rule that allowed for no excep­ tions; it is the policy on Specific Proba­ tion. This policy has tied the hands of the student justices when it comes to the sanc­ tioning of defendants who are on Specific I robation at the time of their court date. The definition of Specific Probation, as it appears in the judicial code, states that a student "will be suspended," with abso­ lutely no exceptions. 1 his absolutist policy has resulted in grave injustices in the last one-and-a-half years. In spring of 1989, two students were suspended for a violation of the visitation policy. Their previous infrac­ tions were no more serious than Underage Possession and Contempt of Court. These are obviously the type of dangerous people who have no place on a college campus. Another one of these "hardened-crimi­ nal types is likely to be suspended soon. His violations are minor, and his proba­ tion is scheduled to end Feb. 7. Now, however, he might sit out the rest of this semester, simply because the justices had no option except to suspend him. I have a hard time seeing any fairness in a policy that requires minor violators to receive the same sanction as students who were caught either dealing drugs or kick­ ing someone in the head. Whatever hap­ pened to, "Let the punishment fit the crime"? Student Court is, for the most part, extremely fair. Specific Probation is the exception rather than the rule. This policy does not give the student justices enough credit. They are percep­ tive enough to realize that, when students become such a problem, they should be removed from campus. The justices should be allowed to be creative in their sanctioning. If a student has been to court several times for infrac­ tions in a residence hall, then the student should be evicted, not kickedout of school. This policy is the "baby" of many administrators on this campus; they do not The Student Court system claims to want to see it changed. It is up to the allow flexibility in sanctioning so it can students to demand that the policy be operate as an educational, rather than a rewritten.

THE APPALACHIAN Fairness, Accuracy and Public Service Since 1934 Vol. 64 No. 26 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Tuesday, January 30,1990 Questions raised about fairness of Probation By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor to SGA Public Defender Kathstudent faces suspension from the university for "very minor infractions of the student judicial code," due to what she feels is the unfairness of one portion of the code. Ash says she feels the section in the judicial .ode pertaining to Specific Probation may be unfair to some students by allowing them to be suspended from the university for repeated viola­ tions of such things as the residence hall visitation policy. Ash said, "We're suspending some students [or breaking visitation rules and at the same time jiving the same punishment to students who, for txample, are charged with possession of deadly weapons, assault, trespassing, trafficking and sell According leenAsh, one ASU ing marijuana, and shooting guns on campus." Ash added, 'This just isn't fair." The Specific Probation clause of the student judicial code reads: "Specific probation may be imposed for a specific period of time but in no case for less than three months. Notice of the action is recorded in the officeof student affairs, and notice is sent to the student. During the probationary period, a conviction for violation of student law will result in suspension." According to Ash, the policy was changed between the academic years of 1987-88 and 198889 from a former statement which, she pointedout, read in part"... a conviction for a repeated offense for any reason may result in suspension." There is a big difference," Ash said, "in 'may result' and 'will result.'" Ash claims the same sanction is contradictory to the purpose of the judicial code in that it "ties the hands of the court." She said, "The judicial code is supposed to allow flexibility to the court," and pointed out a section of the code which reads: "The judicial code seeks to preserve flexi­ bility of sanctions, so that each student offender is afforded the greatest possibility for appropriate and just treatment by the sentencing court." Ash said, 'The policy, as it reads, leaves no outlet to the justices. It is neither fair to some students who have only committed minor viola­ tions of the code, nor is it just to either these students or the justices." Acting Vice Chancellor for Student Devel­ opment Barbara Daye said she feels the policy was reviewed at length before the change was made. In her former position as associate vice chancellor for student development. Daye was a member of the Board of Judicial review, which passed the change in the code on April 14. 1987. According to Daye, during the course of the meetings during the 1987 spring semester. Spe­ cific Probation was the topic of many "lengthy" discussions. Meeting minutes showed the subject was mainly resolved during the April 7 and 14 meetings. Daye said she was a supporter of changing the policy to read as it does today andsaid shedoes not feel the policy is unfair to students. "Specific Probation was a sanction that at one timecarried a lot of stipulations with it," Daye said. "If you were on Specific Probation, you could not be an active member of a fraternity or sorority, you could not represent the university in any way, you could not even participate in the intramural program." Daye added, "It seemed that we took the student who perhaps needed to be involved in structured, developmental co-curricular activities and said,'You can't do any of these things which might be helpful to you Daye said, "What we were saying to the student was, 'Yes, you are onSpecific Probation. If you do anything else (wrong) you are going to be suspended, but while you are on Specific Pro­ bation you can't be occupied in any of these worthwhile activities which might help you stay out of trouble.'" Daye added, "So, we really wondered what we were doing." Daye said 'To say that a student can be suspended for firing a gun on campus and a student can be suspended for visitation violation is. in a way, true, but you need to look at every­ thing." She added, "For example, one action can result in suspension, i.e. firing a gun. Now when it comes down to being suspended for a violation Sec PROBATION pg. 2 Student Seniors to give statue of has founder as gift to ASU By RAE BEASLEY Meningitis AnUtanl Ntwi Editor ASU's class of 1990 is sponsoring the first senior class gift. Instead of the traditional scholar­ ship fund, the class of 1990 is raising funds to build a statue of B.B. Dougherty, the founder of Appalachian. ASU Staff Reports Senior Committee President Keith Barber said, "The statue will provide a way foryesterday's, today's, and tomorrow's students to identify with the university." Barber also stated that this was a good way to let students become familiar with the hertitage of ASU. An ASU student has been diagnosed with meningitis. Health Service Director Dr. Evan Ashby confirmed yesterday. According to reports, the student, who has »t been treated or seen for the disease by Health Novices, was diagnosed last Tuesday with a contgious form of the disease.Those who have been "iton household or intimate contact with the •Went are being treated with a series of oral antifctics. At press time, 10 students were being "Ministered the antibiotics. Henderson also stated: "This is a total class project. This was decided by the students, the money is being collected by the students, and the entire idea will be promoted by the students." Barber said, "When the statue is complete, students who contributed to it will have their name on a plaque which will be displayed on campus." According to Henderson, the statue will be placed near the Belk Library. "The students wanted a central location to place the statue. The univer sity architects will have to give their OK on the project before we decide on a permanent spot. Barber said if the committee cannot raise the $30,000, ASU alumni will be asked to help and the "This is the first year we've had this program. This will set a precedent for years to come." Patrick Henderson Co-advisor for the senior committee Ashby said at this point vaccinations for the n°t being required because of this one t#t' ')ut added that if another case is reported on Mpus within a sufficient amount of time; the Health Department may require vaccina6e given on campus." se The indications of meningitis include flusymptoms which are accompanied by a dise Hat, purple-tinged rash.

The feease can result in spinal deformation and is by a bacteria which is carried by many Mple but only becomes infectious in very few "Stances. ^ According to a News Bureau spokesperson, "is theonly time a caseof meningitis associated Mil the university has been reported. Last year. University students had to be vaccinated for «*di usease. Appmlmchim, Photo hp Wen^j Wright Belk Library According to Barber, the senior committee has set a goal of $30,000 in donations and pledges. Each senior is asked to pledge a g if t of $150, which will be paid over a five-year period. Seniors are asked to pay $10 now and will be billed $25 in 1991 and 1992. The remainder of the money, $90, will be paid in $45 installments in 1993-94.Barber said each student who pays the $10 before he graduates will receive a marble paperweight with the university seal and senior class logo. According to the ASU News Bureau, Sherry Edwards, of ASU's art department will sculpt the six-foot bronze statue. The unofficial deadline for completion of the statue is 1992. Patrick Henderson, co-advisor for the senior committee, said: 'This is the first year we've had this program. This will set a precedent for years to come." Henderson added,"The statue will lead the way for a lot of other activities." senior class will share the credit. If the committee raises over the proposed amount, the excess money will go into a scholarship fund. The senior com­ mittee will decide the details of the fund at a later date. SGA President Brad Edwards stated: "This is something we have done to get seniors involved before we graduate. Any senior who contributes to the statue can come back and say 'This is what I gave to the university."' Henderson also said the paperweights which the seniors receive when they contribute to the statue will not come out of the statue fund. He said the money for the paperweights will come out of the budget of the senior committee. Barber said the statue will be formally dedi­ cated at the first class reunion during the 1995 academic year. hi iversity plays major part in success of money-raising campaign Student contributions to United Way surpass goal by $1,671 By DIANNE WALLY Appalachian Copy Editor » After ra ising $117,602, the Watauga United ended its 1989 campaign.

Lawson said, "Student organizations were encouraged last semester to participate in the campaign." Six of the groups Lawson addressed sponsored projects, with the profits going to the Watauga United Way. According to Lawson, Phi Mu fraternity, a women's organization, collected more money for the campaign than any other campus group. Lawson said,"(They) made agiftof $1,000, which is probably one of the lop five gifts made in the county." Delta Chi fraternity gave $550, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity gave $310, Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity gave $150, the Graduate Student Asso­ ciation Senate gave $111, and the Interfratemity Council gave $50, putting the student total at S2,171. This is $1,671 more than the original goal of $500. Lawson said many sectors of the county took part in this campaign, and the student contri­ bution seems to compare favorably with contribu­ tions from other segments of the population in Watauga County. According to Lawson, the business sector raised $33,170, Blowing Rock raised $14,718, re­ sort communities raised $10,221, financial insti­ tutions raised $7,185, doctors and lawyers raised $4,112, individual contributions totaled $3,440, Insurance and CPA firms raised $3,006, county and municipal government raised $2,543, real estate agents raised $1,875, civic clubs raised $500, and churches raised $100. Lawson said, "The student participation really was super com­ pared to other folks along the way." In the future, the United Way hopes to get ASU students even more involved Lawson said "My dream on campus is that we could have a period of time that we would have all student or­ ganizations and clubs focusing in on United Way." He said he hopes that every year the university will take part in a United Way Day or Week, when student organizations can put all their effort into projects whose proceeds will go to the United Way. He said he wants to "heighten the aware­ ness of it (United Way campaign), so that it becomes a tradition at Appalachian." According to Lawson, the Watauga United Way provides funds formany different services in Wataugacounty: Old Hickory Council Boy Scouts of America, Children's Council of Watauga County. 4-H of Watauga County, Girl Scouts of the USA, Catawba Valley Area Council, Watauga Youth Network, Blowing Rock Rescue Squad Hospice of Watauga County, Hospitality House of Boone Area, OASIS (Opposing Abuse with Shelter Information and Service), Travelers Emer­ gency Fund, Watauga County Hunger Coalition, Watauga Chapter American Red Cross, Resource Development Council, Watauga County Project on Aging, Blazing Saddles, Watauga County Coalition on AdolescentPregnancy, and theUnited Way of North Carolina. According to Lawson, all contributions to the Watauga United Way are tax deductible, and individual and group contributions are welcomed throughout the year. �SGA Seats Open: The Student Government Association has a total of 16 seats open.

Murder trial moved Probation to Newland By JENELLE ALTRY Appalachian News Editor A Watauga County Superior Court judge has ruled that the trial of a man indicted on charges of murder, sexual offense and kidnapping involving an ASU employee will be moved to another county. Judge Charles C. Lamm ordered the trial of Darnel Brian Lee to be moved to Avery County. According to Associated Press reports, Lamm filed the order for the change of venue on Friday Dec. 15. The order will, ir effect, move the trial to Newland. Lee, 24, of Triplette, was indicted by a Watauga County Grand Jury Monday Oct. 18 on charges of first-degree murder, firstdegree kidnapping and first-degree sex offense in the death of Jeni Gray. Gray, 27, was a writer for the ASU News Bureau. She was reported missing on Sept. 23 after friends and relatives failed to locate her. According to one friend. Gray had left her apartment that morning to go jogging in Boone and after­ wards to attend church with her father. Gray's body was found by local and state authorities on Oct. 9 in an uninhab­ ited area of Jake's Mountain Road off US 321. With every puff, your health could be going up in smoke.

The deadline for applying is March 1. The award is $2,000 per year. Recipients must teach a full year in a North Carolina public school for each year they are on scholarship. Applicants must attend an approved North Carolina college which offers teacher preparation and must maintain a "C" average during their freshman year and a "B" average for each subsequent year to remain eligible for the scholarship loan. Loans are available to incoming freshmen through rising seniors in college. Grant Offered: Ten minority college students will be selected to participate in a six-week summer program at ASU. The June 4-July 3 program, funded by a $22,5 70 U.S. Department of Education grant, pairs students for one-on-one work with Appalachian faculty members and graduate student mentors. They will de­ velop research and computer skills and gain the confidence necessary to succeed in graduate school. The program is open to students in biology, chemistry, exercise science, geography and planning, math, physics and astronomy and technology. Each participant will receive a $ 1,000 stipend, tuition and fees for six credit hours, room and board, round-trip transportation, books and supplies and computer user fees. To be selected a student must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, a member of a minority group that is under-represented in graduate edu­ cation, have a 2.7 or greater grade point average or show great promise, and prov ide a written statement of interest in the discipline. Lee was also indicted by the grand jury for first-degree kidnapping, first-degree rape, three counts of first-degree sex of­ fense and common law robbery in another case involving an ASU student. In an earlier interview, Watauga County Sheriff James "Red" Lyons said the stu­ dent was kidnapped at gunpoint while jogging on Oct. 29. The student escaped from Lee's car when he stopped at a serv­ ice station around midnight that same day. Lyons confirmed earlier that Lee's ar­ rest led officers to search an area off Jake's Mountain Road for Gray's body. According to the Watauga County dis­ trict attorney's office, the indictments against Lee in the Gray case carry a maxi­ mum possible sentence of death by execu­ tion or alternatively life imprisonment for the murder charge, 40 years for the kid­ napping charges and life imprisonment for the sex offense charge. In the other case, Lee faces a possible maximum sen­ tence of four life sentences, 40 years imprisonment and 10 years imprisonment. According to the AP report, Lamm ordered the trial be moved because of the publicity the case has received. As of press time, Lee had not been arraigned and no definite trial date had been set. 20% off with student ID expires Feb. 6 Also: T-ShirtS (greek available) Trophies (free engraving) Plaques (free engraving) AXA Located on th< of Highland and 101 265-45 Call Toe �ET CETERA The Appalachian, Tuesday, January 30.1990 Uncle Sam's mugging me .< < > /-V /> w -mvm — I've found New Year's resolutions are once ,gain a complete waste of my time. Every New year's Eve, I jot down a list of three things I tnow 1 won't change about myself, but that sure look good on paper. This trio usually turns out to lie the same every year: 1) I resolve to stop my instant verbal warfare against Philadelphia Flyers fans (mainly because they get the point by now), 2) I resolve to stop ragging all the people who continue to let a man like Jesse Helms ttpresent North Carolina in the U.S. Senate, and, God willing, 3) I resolve to stop complaining about paying taxes. My greatest problem with taxes is 1 don't have a say as to where my money goes. I figure it Iwould be nice if at the top of my tax forms there was a place where I could list the three federal institutions which deserve the money I so gener­ ally give to the IRS. To be honest, I don't like my money going to nuclear missile research toause it's basically money down the tubes. The best way I can describe my view of the Minuteman missile program is that it's comparable to a guy buying his girlfriend a stuffed animal for another month's anniversary of going together. The first bear or puppy is consid­ ered cute and it gets a few hugs, but the ensuing plush anniversary gifts get put in a closet or on a shelf and may get looked at every once in a while. Changing presidents is to missile systems what changing boyfriends is to girls. The old toys get tucked iway into oblivion. Perhaps the government needs to invest in products that will get plenty of use. Here's a good one for example: It seems thousands of campers who spend lieir holidays in our national forests complain tbout the smells in the public outhouses. There­ fore, the National Forest Service has sought creatively to solve the problem. The solution they j^ve come up with is to hook up small fans lowered by solar cells to blow the odors through a rent in the back of the outhouse instead of •Wring up the "throne room."

Payments stopping illegal parking is the use of the wheel are only accepted if they are cash, money order or lock, otherwise known as an immobilizer. a certified check. Appalachian El Cetera Editor Secure Parking Systems, Ltd. is the company in Boone which started using wheel locks at the beginningoflast semester, primarily againstpeople parked in spaces authorized for Holton Manage­ ment apartment tenants only. The locks are easily recognizable bright yellow pieces of steel which weigh about 30 pounds. They are usually placed on the driver's side front wheel. Vickii Taylor, the present intern at Student Legal Services in Workman Hall, has already encountered some students who were seeking ad­ vice concerning wheel locks. "The university can only provide so many places to park,"said Taylor, "but often a student may be late for a class or an exam, and the only thing on his or her mind is that they get to class on time, not wondering whether their car is parked legally." Taylor also said Student Legal Services can only advise people to avoid getting caught in such a situation where a wheel lock is applied. How­ ever, SPS provided some tins to students or any Just in case someone tries to remove the lock and leave it at the scene of the crime, the driver does not get away free. The license plate number of the car is recorded by the technician, so any damages to a wheel lock can be traced to the car's owner. Fees for lock removal by SPS vary on the time of day and whether the lock is placed on a week­ end. Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, the removal fee is $30. The fee then increases to $35 if a lock is removed between 5p.m. and 8p.ni. On weekends, the cost for removal is also $35. For each additional 24-hour period that the guilty party does not call to have the wheel lock removed, a charge of $15 is added to one of the previously listed fees. * Security on the prowl Where's the water? With the end of the school year approaching, it's the college graduates who will be subjected to possible testing. The University of Tennesee, for example, now has 10 to 15 percent of its recruiters testing applicants for drugs. North Carolina also has its shareof large companies testing applicants. Companies setting the new trend include IBM, AT&T, GE and RJR. Charles Jeffries, Assistant Labor Commissioner for the N.C. Department of Labor, said the extent of workplace testing is not known in the state, but somewhere between 200 and 900 companies are testing.

Most students have the same feeling aboutdrug testing. They agree it'sonly valid when there is a question of safety. ASU senior Michele Hollowell said, "If you're in a job where some one's life or death is not an issue, then drug tests are not needed. It's an invasion of privacy." ASU junior Kappy Robinson thinks testing is a good idea, but "it should not hinder you in getting the job. Obviously you are qualified to be hired in the first place, despite drug use." !)Name 2) Address 3) Phone number 4) How much did you make this year? 5) What's 10% of it? 6) Pay it up, buddy! 2) Thank you. ^ Finishing my federal tax forms always gives J-se °f elation.

According to experts, poppy seeds can show up as opiates. Some pain relievers, such as Advil, have shown up as marijuana. These are the most common mistakes, called false positives in testing. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nearly 20 percent of the laboratories they studied had mistakenly reported the presence of illicit drugs in samples where no drugs were present. Toxicologists say a second test is the key to accuracy. People who are in a room where marijuana is being used but are not using it may test positive in a primary test. A second test could prove that they in fact have not used the drug. Another question raised aboutdrug testing is invasion of privacy. Tests can reveal more than drug use.They can show pregnancy and even such diseases as diabetes and epilepsy. Many people feel that because of inaccuracy and the risk of invading privacy states should regulate drug test­ ing. Connecticut, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Rhode Island and Vermont are among the states that have various regulations for drug testing. Several more states, including North Carolina, are considering laws for regulating testing in the workplace. Other people argue that even though thedrug test may show drug use by an employee, it does not show job impairment. William G. Simpson, a staff lawyer with the N.C. Civil Liberties Union, argues that, "If there's a problem with the way an employee is performing on the job, good supervi­ sors should be able to spot that." Opinions are mixed as to the effectiveness of drug testing, but the major concern seems to be with the quality of work being done in the workplace and the safety of employees and busi­ nesses. Testing is quickly becoming a major concern for employees and employers. College graduates should be aware that drug tests are no longer just random, but may possibly be a require­ ment for job placement. The largest increase in testing occurred in December of 1989, when over 500,000 aviation employees and 200,000 merchant seamen were put on a testing list. This month, 90,000 railway engineers, brakemen and train dispatchers will begin being tested. Not only will employees be tested, but also new hires.

People make such promises on New Year's Eve as well as throughout the year. However, many people may be in the group that starts off with a bang but just can't continue to keep up with their initial intenttons. There are several reasons people"slip" from their initial gung-ho approach. First of all, some people set too many goals for themselves. Trying to quit smoking, lose weight, and cut do wn alcohol consumption may overwhelm them. Secondly, many people have an "all or nothing" approach to getting healthy. They start off by eating lots of salads and not allowing themselves any of the "forbidden" foods. After a few days (for some, a few hours) they feel deprived and depressed— only eating the "forbidden" food will make them feel better. Others start off by running five miles as fast as they can every day for three days—until their muscles ache and they can't even walk to class. Dr. Alan Marlatt at the University of Wash­ ington studied the phenomenon of "slipping," the lapse of enthusiasm which frequentlyoccurs when people have decided to make a change in lifestyle. He found that people who were able to stick with their resolutions put an emphasis on techniques to accomplish the change and that they anticipated difficulties. He stated, "It isn't enough to just say no; you have to plan ahead." In his studies he identified three primary high risk situations that account for 75% of all relapses: 1. Negative emotional states. People are most likely to raid the pantry or smoke a cigarette if they are feeling tense, angry, or frustrated. 2. Interpersonal conflict. Roommate prob­ lems or a fight with a boyfriend may make people want to eat to feel better or "because they deserve a treat." 3. Social pressure. If you are trying to lose weight, it doesn't help when friends order pizza every night. Keeping all this in mind and utilizing the follow­ ing suggestions can help to keep the average person from "slipping" back into old patterns. Here are some tips to ensure success: 1. Focus on one thing to change at a time. 2. Examine personal motivation for wanting to make this change. See WEIGHT pg, 4 �She Appalachian. Tuesday/.

North Carolina and Duke are still in a deadlock for first place with their matching 5-1 records. The Blue Devils have recovered well from the 19-point beat jig they took in Chapel Hill by winning their last three. Dave Odom and his 0-6 (7-10 overall) Wake forest team were dealt a heavy 97-69 blow by the8th ranked Blue Devils. The Demon Deacons' scoring forces of Chris King and Anthony Tucker were virtually shut down by Coach K's pressure defense.But Jungs got tougher for the Blue Devils when they headed home to Cameron to meet N.C. State.Swap­ ping leads for much of the game, both teams dis­ played intense backcourt fire power. Duke's Phil Henderson knocked in 25 as the game's high scorer, hitting 11 of his 19 shots. Point guard Bobby Hurley added 10 points and dished out 12 assists, holding his own against veteran Chris Corchiani. Key turnovers in the final minutes allowed Duke to clinch an 85-82 vic­ tory, even though State threw the ball away seven fewer times during the game. Intheregu lar season's first rematch, Duke beat GeorgiaTechforthe second time this season. The Ram­ bling Wreck's " tr i v e c to r" backcourt scoring force of Scott, Ol­ iver and Anderson ired just over 90 percent of Tech's points, but ildnot make up for Duke's balanced attack. Blue ivilcenter Alaa Abdelnaby hit three straight inside skets to help his team come back and move ahead of Tech by five late in the game. Dennis Scott's tee-pointer, with less than a minute to go, narjiowed the margin to two, but a jump ball call with wen seconds left gave the ball to Duke and sealed :ltienarrow victory. One team that has not had a narrow victory in 6»e straight conference games is Carolina. The Tar Heelsare averaging a 19.2-point margin of victory in ACC play. After suffering an upset to 3-3 (12-6 overall) Maryland, Dean Smith's squad has been Moppable. In their closest game since meeting the 'Terrapins, UNC defeated Wake Forest 71-63. Then '"as back to business when Clemson paid their beaded annual visit to North Carolina.

The Mountaineers suffered through a tough road trip losing two conference games at Marshall and VMI. In the first half of the VMI game, the Moun­ taineers and Keydets exchanged leads with ASU holding as much as a six-point lead. Coach Tom Apke said before the game he was looking for the Mountaineers to be more patient on offense since ASU held a decisive size advantage over VMI. With Sam Gibson, Steve Spurlock and Brodrick Parker each scoring six points, the Mountaineers held a one-point advan­ tage at the half, 35-34. The Keydets were led by Damon Williams who had 11 points in the first half. At the start of the second half, VMI jumped out to a one-point lead, and ASU came back on a Gibson basket to retain the lead. The teams exchanged baskets, with Rodney Peel hitting a three pointer to tie the game at 40. The Keydets then went on a run and led by as many as eight with 7:35 left in the game. The Mountaineers started cutting into the Keydet lead and took the 64-63 lead on a Kemp Phillips field goal with a little over five minutes left in the contest. The Keydets tied the score at 65 when Phil­ lips missed a free throw and Ramon Williams hit a short jumper. The Mountaineers took the lead on two free throws by Ed Ward with 2:35 left in the game. The two teams exchanged baskets until 30 seconds left in the game, with ASU holding a 6968 lead. Spurlock hit both free throws increasing the lead to 71-68. Damon Williams drove the lane and hit a short jumper, with two seconds remain­ ing to cut the lead to one. The Keydets stole the ball at midcourt and called timeout with one second remaining in the game. Williams hit a three pointer at the buzzer to give the Keydets a 73-71 victory. In the Marshall game, ASU was unable to come back after Marshall built a 16-point lead in the second half, and the Thundering Herd defeated the Mountaineers, 82-75. The loss extended the Marshall winning streak to 15 games over ASU, with Apke never beating the Thundering Herd. ASU was led by Gibson, who scored 15 points on 7 of 17 shooting from the floor. Spurlock was the second leading scorer with 14 points and 10 rebounds. The Mountaineers were held to just 43 percent from the field and admitted they were not in the game mentally, especially down the stretch. ASU shot 3 for 14 from the three-point line, with Peel. Phillips and Ward each hitting one. "I'm disappointed that we didn't do the little things that you know you have to do to beat a good team, Apke said. "Some of the games lately, we've played well and still lost. But I didn't think we played well tonight. I didn't think we played well at all." Marshall was led by John Taft who is the conference's leading scorer averaging over 20 points a game. Taft finished the night with 22 points in his first start since spraining his ankle seven games ago. Thundering Herd forward Andre Cunning­ ham scored 17 points, including two key baskets down the stretch that kept the Mountaineers from taking the lead. Maurice Sandersscored 11 points, and Omar Roland and Harold Simmons scored 10 points each. The Mountaineers are now 3-4 in the Southem Conference and 11-8 overall. Globetrotter tour stops at ASU * The 1990 tour of the Harlem Globetrotters made a stopover in Boone last Sunday at 1 p.m. The Globetrotters are entering their 64th season and currently hold a 6,695 winning streak over the Washington Generals. Traveling the world, these goodwill ambas­ sadors play everywhere. Recently the Globetrot­ ters went to St. Croix, where Hurracaine Hugo had left massive destruction. "It was very sad," first year Globetrotter Gerald Gray said. "Only 20 per­ cent of the nation had electricity. It was a terrible thing," Gray said. The Globetrotters play a show a day from Sept. until mid-April. "It's a great thrill," Tracey Williams said. "The travel lets you see different places," Williams said. After the end of this tour, the Globetrotters will take a couple of weeks off before going to Europe. After the European tour the Globetrotters will begin their 1991 tour in Australia. Williams attended James Madison Univer­ sity and was recruited by the Globetrotters during college. "They wrote my college coach a letter," Williams said. "It's a great tradition." The travel does have its hardship though. "I realize as a professional they (the audience) are paying money and they could care less (if we played last night)," Williams said. Gray feels there are differences between the basketball he played at Austin Peay State and the type played with the Globetrotters. "Both are competitive. This (the Globetrotters) is entertain­ ment basketball, " Gray said. The travel is probably the hardest part for most of the Globetrotters. "The hardest part of the travel is the wear and tear and the injuries," Wil- liams said. Gray feels another problem that aces the team is there are 11 different persor i iiies playing together. As for the game, the Generals held an ear (y 6 4 lead with nine minutes remaining in the first quarter. The Globetrotters took the lead for good at 8-7 with 7:40 remaining. The quarter was highlighted by an 85-foot shot at the buzzer by 'he Generals The Globetrottrers held alO point lead at the end of the quarter, 30-20. The Globetrotters.etqjandettyjrjgir load in the second quarter and led 45,31 atthohtilf: Michael "Memphis" Douglas and Sandra "Sweetness" Hodge helped the Globetrotters retain their lead by hitting three-pointers and lay-ups, but the Gener­ als cut the Globetrotter lead to 10 at 65-55 with one quarter remaining. In the final quarter the Globetrotters kept the 10 point advantage for a 73-63 victoiy. During the game 10 Globetrotters used their usual tricks such as throwing water on the crowd and using a ball connected to string. The Globetrotters also used many people from the crowd to help in the scoring as well as in the dancing they seemed to do during every quar ter. With the win theGlobetrotters extended tbeir streak to 6,696, but every streak must come to an end. What would happen if the Globetrotters lost? "Sometimes I think it would increase the popular­ ity of the team," Williams said. "It would be devastating (if the Globetrotters lost). The Globetrotters are supposed to win and I hope I am not part of the team that loses," said Gray. Sports Flash Physical fitness has become a way of life for many ASU students, and with this in mind the Quinn Center is offering many new challenging aerobic programs. Sherry Crane, Quinn Center fitness and fa­ cilities coordinator, feels the new programs can add variety and meet the needs of more people. These aerobic programs are directed to those who are interested in just starting a fitness routine and to those who want a maximum workout. Some of the same classes that will still be of­ fered are the low impact, high impact and super high impact aerobics. The low impact aerobic classes are held Monday through Thursday. This program offers a high-intensity cardiovascular workout with a low-impact structure. The high impact aerobics are offered every day of the week. This class provides the same cardiovascular work­ out as the low impact class but requires more intense energy. The super high impact aerobics are offered for those looking for a challenge. This includes the best of high impact and cardiovascu­ lar work with an added fifteen minutes over the regular workout time. One of the newer programs is hi-lo impact aerobics. This is a combination of both aerobics and is great for those who are slowly increasing their fitness program. Cardio is another new pro­ gram offered this semester.This high impactclass consists of a warm-up, a cardiovascular workout and a cool down. It runs 45 minutes in length and Ls perfect for supplementing your own weight program. Toning classes will again be offered, along with anew program called beginnin g toning. Those non-aerobic classes concentrate on isotonic exer­ cises that ase muscles from the shoulders to the calves. Those who are looking for more can take the toning with tubing class, which is offered Monday through Thursday. This class consists of using exercise tubing for ex tra resistance and extra workout. Circuit training will als.o be offered this semester. This workout provides a median be­ tween cardiovascular exercise and weight train­ ing. A series of 15-minute lectures called nutritalks will be featured on Wednesdays. A speaker from the Wellness Center will discuss the topic of diet and nutrition and answer personal questions and concerns. These classes are aimed at challenging those who arealready inshape and those who want to get there. The Quinn Center aerobic program is a great opportunity for people to enjoy the many benefits of exercise. 7:30 p.m. Super High Impact 9:00 p.m. Toning Thursdays 3:30 p.m. Low Impact 4:30 p.m. High Impact 5:30 p.m. Low Impact 6:30 p.m. Toning with Tubing 7:30 p.m. High Impact Fridays 5:30 p.m. High Impact Saturdays 12 noon High Impact Sundays The Quinn Center aerobic schedule for spring 7:00 p.m. High Impact 1990 is: 8:00 p.m. Circuit Training Mondays Powerlifting 3:30 p.m. Hi-Lo Impact 4:30 p.m. High Impact 5:30 p.m. Low Impact ASU's Roland Hanes qualified for the Na­ 6:30 p.m. Toning with Tubing tional Powerlifting Tournament after placing 7:30 p.m. Super High Impact second in the 165-pound teenage division at the 9:00 p.m. Toning regional tournament.

He could use help from a person or a business sponsor who could benefit from his publicity. Hanes is a sophomore at ASU and works hard at weight lifting because he loves it. Even though he is not school sponsored, Hanes feels he will represent ASU at nationals. Men's Volleyball Men's Club Volleyball team will be hosting a tournament at ASU on Feb. 3. The tournament is approved by the United States Volleyball Association and will be played at the Quinn Center from 9 a.m.-until. Twenty teams plan to attend, and students will be admitted with their ASU IDs.The sponsors of the tournament are Sun-n-Snow, Visual Graph­ ics and Sideout. Lacrosse ASU's Club Lacrosse team needs more play­ ers, experienced and beginner.The club will begin their winter season soon, and you are invited to join. For more information, call 265-0511.

How can anyone justify appointing just one student to a committee figure in an Ai>U student's college tenure?" According to the "Faculty Handbook,' such a search andbook," committee should consist of at least seven persons representlttf£Uky; lfndUHdin^ department chai^ersons, the administrative staff and students. wh? *£,?", % search committee is SGA resident Brad Edwards. While Edwards is the best choice for f/s^e J?osltlon> how can he be expected to represent over IJ,UUU diverse opinions concerning the choice of the new vice chancellor? How would the faculty feel if, on a search committee for the vice chancellor for academic affairs, just one faculty member were chosen to serve. This would be a distinct possibility if . the provision in the "Faculty Handbook* stating that a majority of such a committee be faculty members. Obvi­ ously a double standard is present. There is, at least, one token way for students to voice their pinions. From 10 a.m. to 2p.m. in the student union today m tomorrow, students can discuss their opinions with search rommittee members on the qualities the new vice chancellor mould possess. Yet, anyone who has ever served on a vommittee at this university knows this forum is simply a ?upiic relations ploy to downplay the fact that the student race is being ignored. The only student opinions that will be sn seriously by members at this discussion will be the ones ' which members agree.

After all, the vice Cth °f/or stu^ent development is supposed to be hired 2e welfare of students. Perhaps it is time to remind admin^'ors why they are really here. The time-worn expression of "people kill people, not guns" is a popular catch phrase used by organizations like the National Rifle Association. Opponents to gun control often use such slogans in defense of their love for guns as they tragically overlook the reality that people withguns kill people. Roughly 30,000 people died last year from gunshot wounds. In the past two years more people have died from gunshot wounds than AIDS, and the NRA says it is the American way. The freedom to own and use fire arms is granted by the U.S. Constitution, clustered together with other inalienable rights. Placed in context with such sacred rights as the freedom of speech and religious expression, the privilege to bear arms is viewed in a distorted light. Paranoia leads gun lovers to assume tighter restrictions on firearms would equal the eventual denial of other freedoms. This fear was understand­ able among the early Colonists, frontiersmen and revolutionaries, but times have certainly changed now with modem urbanization and the illegal nar­ cotics trade. The only thing that has not changed is the relative number of guns in the United States. In fact, the basic ratio of one fire arm per citizen has stayed the same since John Smith and his fol­ lowers settled Jamestown in the early 1600s. Ac­ cording to the Washington lobbyist group Handgun Control Inc., this country has 60 million hand guns, 120 million long guns (rifles, etc.) and two to three million assault weapons. No other nation in the world can boast this kind of private firepower, but then again, no country would be proud to also disclose the kind of deadly statistics which accom­ pany such a large arsenal. In the July 17 edition of 'Time" magazine, the shocking statistics were disclosed in a week-long By GARY LARSON David Madison record of fatal shootings from May. The 28-page article contained pictures and information about 464 victims. Reading the brief descriptionsabout each death is startling. Almost every one is linked to the easy availability of a firearm. Simple arguments turned bloody as friends, family and foes backed their anger with bullets. Suicides were also tragically common, accounting for 216 of the deaths. Shootings in self defense piled up the fewest 'x>aies—on'y Id. This comes as no surprise, con­ sidering guns most often kill their owners or some­ one close to the owner. A gun kept in a dresser drawer to protect a family against intruders is most likely to be used against a member of that house­ hold. Guns offer people in a state of rage a perma­ nent solution for a temporary problem. Families are destroyed when arguments which might have ended The growing drug trade is another leading cause of excessive shootings. Last year's nation­ wide homicide rate jumped five percent, and many speculate drugs were the cause. This explanation seems too simplistic when you compare this nation's problem with those of other drug-infested countries. Seattle had five times as many murders from guns as Vancouver, B.C., which has tighter gun-control laws. The two cities have similar crime rates and are located just across the border from one another. The one drastic differ­ ence is that guns, especially handguns, are made easily available in the United States. Harlon Carter, vocal gun proponent and con­ tributor to the book"Gun Control" insists such com­ parisons are "simply nonsense." He cites racial pu­ rity in countries such as Japan as the key to a low shooting death rate. Senseless statements like this are commonplace among those who support total firearm freedom. Lawmakers need to look beyond such shallow claims and acknowledge the need for stricter federal gun control laws. Currently the individual states pass their own measures concerning gun sales. Without a uniform set of restrictions, gun control laws are often totally ineffective. Washington, D.C.'s unusually firm fire-arm policy is virtually negated by the lax laws in the sur­ rounding statesof M ary land and Virginia. The guns flowing into the nation's capital from just outside the town gave this city the nation's highest murder rate. And the violence will keep growing. People will continue to kill people as long as guns circulate freely and organizations like the NRA have their say. Human machinations are a part of nature By RICHARD TRUAX Appalachian Columnist + In today's ever-complicated world, it is becoming ever more difficult to differen­ tiate between what is and is not natural. Advertisements fly at us from all direc­ tions claiming their product is 100percent natural, is made the natural way or gives you that natural feeling. The American public is more environmentally aware today than at any other time in its history. Results of this are a surge in the popu­ larity of the word natural, and the Ameri­ can public's drive to buy or do anything with the word natural attached to it. So we now have naturally decaffeinated coffee, all-natural/artificial sugar, nature's own shoes and clothes, and naturally dehy­ drated and processed junk. Manufacturers would like to label eve­ rything as natural. However, consumer groups feel some sort of guidelines are needed. They would like to differentiate between and non-natural goods and serv­ ices. This won't work because it's impos­ sible to say one thing is natural and an­ other is not. Everything on this planet is natural: THE FAR SIDE with a push or slap turn into murder when a firearm is present. THE FAR SIDE The B-1 Bomber is as natural as a freshly sprouted spring mushroom. ." " According to Webster's dictionary, natural is "anything in accordance with or determined by nature, based upon the operations of the physical world." This makes dropping the atomic bomb on Hi­ roshima as natural an act as the recent San Francisco earthquake. The contrary holds true. Everything we do, no matter how small, has an impact on the system. An act as simple as tossing a stone into a lake causes some change. Whether I'm building a mud hut to protect me from the sun or a 5,000 square foot castle todo the same; both are natural, and both will affect the system. The same holds true if I build a mud sculpture or a chemical plant. thought out, it doesn't make it unnatural. Our brains and bodies have evolved from simple crude units into highly complex machines. This isa result of change through time. Our bodies are as natural as any other animals and, thus their actions are just as natural. Nobody knows what is right or wrong.

I was quoted as saying, "By that, I don't just mean who the man's name is, but the type of person he is." I must state to the readers of "The Appalachian" that I did state clearly "man or woman." 1 here are many male and female student development professionals wonderfully qualified for this position, and I will look forward to the selection of our new vice chancellor, either male or female.

Sam Kellicut, Robby Wimberly, Scott Wray, and Chris Tilley claim that Food Service Director Odis Wellborn told them (Jess they cut their hair above collar joigth they would no longer have their jobs at the Food Court. According to the indents, Wellborn also told them they had until the beginning of Spring Semes­ ter or their jobs would be terminated. According to Food Services Director Ron Dubberly, last semester Food Service officials were in the process of trying to promote a cleaner image for all eating areas on campus. In an earlier interview Dubberly stated, "We want to present a clean-shaven, neat image. We are not trying to force anyone to do anything they do not want to do." He added, there are certain standards that we have set. If you don t want to meet these standards, you will not have a job." T Joggers Until last semester the Food Service handbook entitled," A S tudent Handbook," under the headingofgrooming and sanita­ tion policies, read, "Hair must be kept clean and well groomed. Guys need to keep haircut above collar length, not fly in the face or over the food. A hat or hair net must be worn by all food production and service personnel. Hair nets need to cover a good portion of your hair—no excep­ tions." Dubberly said, "The new rule in the handbook basically states anyone with long hair, men or women, must wear a hair net. A hat must be worn if hair is above collar length." He added, this goes along with North Carolina's basic lawsconcern­ ing sanitation." When Dubberly was asked whether media coverage of the event at its onset influenced the University Food Services' decision to revise its standards on appear­ ance, he would neither confirm nor deny the allegation. "ASU felt that we didn't want to distin­ guish or have different rules concerning men and women," Dubberly said.

Grand Jury points finger at Petersilie By JENELLE AUTRY By ANDY SWOFFORD Appalachian News Editor Appalachian SUIT Writer A 25-year-old Watauga County resinthas been charged with two counts of nying a concealed weapon, driving lile impaired, and operating a motor J hide without a driver's license in conton with a Jan. 15 event where two e joggers were harassed on Faculty A Watauga County grand jury has named PSI owner Frank Petersilie and three of his employees as the source of illegal campaign tactics attacking former Town Council candidates Saul Chase and Louise Miller in the Nov. 7 run-off elec­ tion. According to the WataugaCounty Clerk Court's office, Erik Scott Meeks of 138 tgwood Hound Rd. in Blowing Rock il appear in court on Feb. 7.

The alle­ gations stem from two un­ signed fliers which were distributed by Petersilie and his em­ ployees at PSI Proper­ ties, the larg­ Saul Chase est real-estate developer Boone. Petersilie ran for a seat on the Town Council in the general election but lost. While Petersilie claims he never wrote the fliers, he does admit to having his em­ ployees copy and distribute them. The two fliers prompted District Attor­ ney Thomas Rusher to call in the State Bureau of Investigation to help find the fliers' authors. In response to the grand jury's formal accusations. Rusher is in­ vestigating Petersilie and his employees for breaking a 1931 state law prohibiting the distribution of unsigned, derogatory political literature. According to Petersilie, his mother first received a copy of the flier through the mail. On the front appeared an article written by Nan Chase, Saul Chase's wife, which ran in the "Washington Post" and other newspapers. The article by Ms. Chase discussed the mixed blessings members of the Jewish faith face and the difficulties of raising non-Christian children in the"Bible Belt." The Chases are Jewish and moved to Boone from Wisconsin in the early 1980s. The article states, "Individuals are kindhearted and generous, of course, but the institutional overlay is visibly and agressively Christian, fundamentalist Chris­ tian." On the back of the flier aletter attacking the article and Chase claimed the article "ridiculed the people of Boone for their support of Christianity." The flier also states, "It can be assumed that Chase al­ legedly has a goal to wipe out Christian influence from our town, take it away from the veryGod-fearing Christian people who helped put him in office." The letter ends "Vote against Saul Chase!" Petersilie, who said he was already dis­ turbed by an incident in which Nan Chase resigned from the Parent Teacher Asso­ ciation because each meeting began with the "Lord's Prayer," said he was "deeply moved" by the flier. According to Peter­ silie, his employees made 50-60 copies of the flier and mailed them in hand-ad­ dressed envelopes to what he termed "interested" people on Nov. 3. Although Petersilie said he doesn't attend church,he describes himself as a man Leaving Legends in awe: Emily Saliers(shown), along with fellow Indigo Girl Amy Ray, blew away a sell-out crowd of adoring fans last night in Legends. The Girls interspersed songs from their first two albums, "Strange Fire" and "Indigo Girls," with a number of well chosen covers. They closed the evening with Simon and Garfunkel's "American Tune." After completing this tour, the duo will take a few months off before starting on their next album, due out in September. Acting vice chancellor named By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Former Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Development Barbara Daye, has assumed the role of Acting Vice Chancel­ lor for Student Development as of Jan 1. Daye replaces Dr. David Mclntire, who accepted a position at the University of Missouri at Columbia earlier in the aca­ demic year. Daye will remain in her current position until a permanent succes­ sor to Mclntire is hired by the university. Daye said as the acting vice chancellor she foresees no major changes in the department. "We want to continue to be a strong student development division with good staff and programs," she said and added, "We will be looking at the existing a<|ded, "It is very unfortunate programs to see if we need to make any like this puts them (joggers, changes.

According to Daye, she will not be directly involved in the actual search process but will meet all candidates for the position once they are invited to the cam­ pus. "It is important for us to take time to find out who our new vice chancellor will be," Daye said. "By that, I don't just mean who the man's name is, but the type of person he is," she added. Daye says she feels it is important for all members of the university community to be involved in the search process. She said she urged all students to voice their opinions on the qi/alities they feel the new vice chancellor should possess. Accord­ ing to Daye, students will have the opportunitytodo so next week. (SceNewsbriefs P- 2) According to Daye, the position has been advertisednationally and all applica­ tions for the position are due by Feb. 1. "The search process really cranks up after Feb. 1," Daye said, "when all the applications are in." She said students and staff members will serve on the search committee. "For that reason, the work needs to be done prior to the end of the semester," she said. According to Search CommitteeSecre­ tary Bob Snead, the new vice chancellor will start work on July 1, when Daye will return to her former position as associate vice chancellor for Student Development. Daye said, "My position at that time will be redefined to incorporate the needs of the new vice chancellor." At press time, Snead said 57 applica­ tions from 31 states had been received by the university. He said the job had been advertised both locally and regionally as well as nationally. "The number of states these applications are coming from is about as good a level of representation as pos­ sible," Snead said. According to Snead, after all applica­ tions are reviewed by the search commit­ tee members, the number left for consid­ eration will be reduced. "This process will take a long time because of the num­ ber of applications and the schedules of each of the committee members." Snead said after the initial number of applications, which he estimates to be 65, is narrowed to "five or ten," committee members will discuss the applicants. At that time he said the number will be fur­ ther reduced to "five or so," who will be invited for interviews on the campus. According to Snead, the final decision will be made by May 1. with deep religious convictions. Petersilie claims Chase is a threat to Christianity in Boone and attacks Nan Chase by saying, "She is more atheist than she is anything." Saul Chase said, "The Town Council doesn't have anything to do with religion in Boone." He said he feels Petersilie used religion as aploy: "I feel that Boone voters were manipulated and religion was used against me to protect certain business in­ terests." Petersilie denies he is using religion as an opportunity. He said, "If He (Chase) can sit on the council and raise the garbage taxes just for apartments, w h y couldn't he take religion out of our public build­ ings." The sec­ ond flier, which ap­ peared to be an endorseil*!"lofboth Miller and Chase, dealt Fratik Petersilie with the subject of liquor by the drink and depicted both candidates as "The Pro-Liquor Candi­ dates." Petersilie said he thought the flier came from students from ASU who were campaigning for Chase and Miller. According to Petersilie, Chase and Miller had told only ASU students their position on a liquor-by-the-drink referen­ dum and did not inform the townspeople of the position. "It was, in our opinion, unfair that the townspeople of Boone had not been made aware of Miller and Chase's stance on this important issue," Petersilie said. Petersilie said he had his employees make copies of the second flier in the PSI office, address envelopes and pass them out to whoever walked in the door on the eve of the election. According to Petersilie, he did not sign the letters because he did not write them. "I was told when I was a little boy not to sign anything I didn't write," he said. Petersilie alsodenies any knowledge of wrong doing. He said, "I wouldn't have sent a single letter without my name on it if I knew I was breaking the law." According to Petersilie, when the SBI was called in to investigate they had a suck of envelopes which were not ad­ dressed by him or his employees. "We could not identify all the envelopes be­ cause there were some that did not have any of our handwritings on them,"he said. If indicted, Petersilie said: "I will fight. I will go all the way to the Supreme Court." Petersilie claims this law, which he said took his lawyer 45 minutes to find, vio­ lates the Constitution because he feels it precludes politicians from First Amend­ ment protection. He argues that the law gives citizens more freedom than politi­ cians, which violates the latter's equal rights. Petersilie sutes, "My lawyers have 14 cases and one Supreme Court ruling which relate to this law, and they all lost." See PETERSILIE pg. 4 �The Appalachian. Thursday.

"Our first concern is to provide a stimu­ lating and aesthetically pleasing living and learning environment," Chancellor John Thomas said. "Our next concern is that we preserve for ourselves and future generations the natural beauty with which we have been blessed." According toThomas, ASU has adopted a growth program entitled"M aster Plan-— 2000 and Beyond," in order to accommo­ date needs created by its broadening role as a comprehensive university while en­ suring harmony with the needs of a grow­ ing Boone and a fragile environment. "In the last five years the campus en­ rollment has grown gradually," Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs, Ned Trivette said. "It's very difficult to keep facilities growing at the same gradual pace as other growth. (The building projects) are geared to help accommodate the en­ rollment and staff demands we already have," he added. According to enrollment estimates, Appalachian will enter the 1990s with more than 11,000 students, up from 9,794 in 1980, 6,665 in 1970 and 2467 in 1960. The plan proposes to open creeks and streams that have been covered, restore and expand green spaces, reduce vehicle traffic on the main campus by building parking decks on its perimeter and developing a system on walkways on campus. According to the plan, automobile traffic would be prohibited on some streets to create better walkways and to help im­ prove the air quality on campus. A walk­ way and bike path is also planned to run alongside Kraut Creek beside Rivers Street. Construction has already begun on a new food services building on Stadium Drive overlooking the duck pond. The facility, which, according to plans, is designed to seat about 200 for Italian cuisine, will make dining more accessible to the 50 percent of campus residents living in nearby dormitories without du­ plicating the menu of any other on-campus eatery. Business Affairsofficials said. Vannoy Construction of West Jefferson is building the $2.8 million facility, which should be finished around Christmas 1990. According to university officials, ASU is also planning a$24million, 1 r,600-seat student activities center. The state legisla­ ture appropriated $300,000 for a feasibil­ ity study for the project and $3 million to continue the planning process. University officials have identified a site for the facil­ ity, determined the layout of the building and developed a detailed model of the proposed arena. Trustees recently announced the SAC will be named after Seby Jones, a busi­ nessman, philanthropist, former Raleigh mayor and trustee at Appalachian. The center will allow large gatherings, such as commencement and convocation ceremo­ nies and concerts, and will be the home of several athletic teams. Varsity gym, the present site of such events, was finished in 1968 when Appalachian's enrollment was 5,500— less than half of the current enrollment of 11,501. For several years commencement ceremonies for Appalachian's six degree- granting colleges have been held in three separate building s on graduation day. Trivette said, "We will go back (to the legislature) for one half die cost of the structure with the balance funded through a student fee." He said the facility will be located on what is now an activity field above Kidd Brewer Stadium. According to Trivette, site preparation may begin by late fall 1990, and construction should be finished by 1994. ASU asked the General Assembly this year for $8 million to build a new aca­ demic support building and received $1 million to plan the facility, Trivette said. The structure, planned for an area along Rivers Street where faculty houses were formerly Ideated, will house support of­ fices such as financial aid and housing. According toTrivette, thebuilding should help free academic space on campus that has been converted to offices, and it will consolidate many of the offices that pro­ spective students and parents visit for in­ formation about the university. Contracts will probably be awarded for that project in a year, he added. Trivette also said the university is pre­ paring to advertise for an architect todesign a $4 million parking deck for 300 cars. As part of the long-range plan, the parking deck should be completed within the next few years. A parking fee increase will help pay for the deck, he said. The deck will probably be located between Justice and Coltrane residence halls betweenStadium Drive and Rivers Street, Trivette added, where a parking lot is already under con­ struction. In addition to the new buildings, Triv­ ette said, the university is also hoping for funds for an addition to the student union and for renovations to the auditorit Chapell Wilson Hall. Trivette sax renovation s likely will amount to million, and he hoped the UNC Boa Governors would fund the project According to Trivette, the new hoi the John A. Walker College of Busi under construction since April 1 should be finished in mid-January and should be occupied, on schedu] summer. He said the building willis crowding in the College of Busi current home in Walker Hall andbri of Appalachian's business program faculty together under one roof.

Appalachian SUIT Writer Born on the Fourth of July," starring Tom Cruise, is the true story of Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic. The movie smoothly shifts through 20years of Kovic s life, from when he was an innocent young boy playing war with his friends, to his high school years, his wartime experience and his life after Vietnam. The movie ends with his brave protests against the war, protests that reached the entire nation. When Kovic was a teen-ager, he longed to join the Marines to provesomething to his family and to fight for his country, which he dearly loved. He wanted to see "a little action" in Vietnam but It was hard for his family and even Kovic him­ self to adjust to his new behavior and life. The war destroyed part of Kovic; as a parallel, he destroys a part of his bond with his family. Kovic begins a new life on his own and eventually becomes in­ volved in anti-war protests. Kovic still loved his country, but hated the government for lying to the nation and the Ameri­ can soldiers about the almost impossible situation in Vietnam. He devoted the rest of his life to fighting against a war neither he nor his country was still engaged in. seen by a very special veteran.

Pete's "Ironman" album didn't do much to quell the senility rumors either. By PRUITT Y. ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor So what's the problem? What's wrong with a bunch of old guys giving it one last go? Eric Miller Nothing. My only question is— why? These guys kould be kicking back, drinking beer (or noking pot, as the case may be) and living off he interest from all that money they've already ude. Maybe, occasionally, they could put out ulbum, just for fun. Yes, he's lean, he's green, he's plasticine— that hero of cartoon and song is back! It's Gumby time again, folks, and the same malleable appeal that propelled him through the 50s and 60s is, according to some prognosticators, sure toprovide a sort of shape-your own dramatic hero for the 90s. For those of you who know Gumby only through a fondly remembered "Saturday Night Live" skit, it's time for a little history lesson. Gumby was created in the mid-50s by a man named Art Clokey. After his appearance in Clokey's artsy jazz-and-animation film "Gumbasia" (three guesses which Disney movie that title borrows from), the character stuck. Soon gumby and his pony sidekick Pokey took to the airwaves in their very own animated show. - The show-provided comic relief and inspira­ tion for an entire generation of comedians (like Eddie Murphy, the man most remembered for spreading Gumby-mania in the SNL days), and for budding musicians as well. . So, when Buena Vista Records found them­ selves responsible for bringing Gumby to the millions of strife-tom youth just waiting to hear his message, they called producer Shep Stem to col­ lect a number of songs, in celebration of the "the Green one." Instead, they're on the road, making more oney and, at least in the case of Townsend, ring themselves. Come on, it's time to givjp leone else a chance. Why has there been such an explosion of est in "classic rock" lately? Nearly as many ™ons now play classic rock as top 40, which igranted, a good thing. Today's pop music is bad, it would seem the only way to find good osic is to go back to the "good 'ol days" and ten to the same old stuff our parents did. my of my generation have developed the itude that all current music is worthless, so ty not just listen to the great oldies? It is this id of attitude which has fueled tfre "return of i dinosaur" tours. It is somewhat difficult in the TV-jaded age to appreciate just what Gumby meant back in the days when the medium was young. Suffice it to say that Stem had no difficulty finding known musi­ cians who had felt his influence. "Gumby really belongs to the audience that was young back when television was young. The medium was so excit­ ing that we watched every thing that was on. Gumby was right up there in my face with Colonel Bleep and Clutch Cargo....Every artist [on the record] had something genuine to say about Gumby." Those artists turned out to be an incredibly diverse group. Remember the Turtles? Well, Flo Let there be no mistake, all the groups I've entioned are great. They are so great I hate to diem cheapened by all this and that is, untunately, what I feel is happening. Also, die McCartney, Dylan, The Dead, and to a tet extent, The Stones have all made strong mils in the 80s, no one seems to care. At the "eerts, everyone cries for the oldies.

How about the one and only Frank Sinatra Jr. remaking the original TV theme song, "The Gumby Heart Song?' Would the speed-metal-educated children of one of rock's great avant-garde spokesmen be more your style? Perhaps you'd settle for Dweezil and Moon-Unit Zappa? Well, perhaps not. The most interesting music on the Gumby CD (or "The Green Album," as it's also billed) is reserved for some more unknown artists. Most particularly, a new polka/zydeco/ska/rhumba group called Brave Combo is very impressive in a couple of pieces. The Combo seem to play their music with really excellent feel and total mastery of the complex Latinand Cajun rhythmsfor which they're becoming famous. Brave Combo, in fact, made the grade in "Downbeat" magazine's 1989 critic's poll. The best song on the album however, is reserved for a fellow I've never heard of. Rick Schulman. "The Ballad of Gumby" is a perfect spearing of the traditional country and western ballad. Consider this description of a shootout between Sherriff Gumby and villain Soggy La­ goon: "Gumby coughed a tiny cough/and hedusted himself off/ and said, "Hey, folks I'm really OK/ Lagoon missed me today, his shot went thisaway/ but my head slopes thataway." You owe it to yourself to grab a copy of the Gumby CD.

Starting itoff will be "Blithe Spirit" at 7 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights. This British film is a delightful adaptation of Noel Coward's comedy-fantasy and is every widower's nightmare. A man's long dead first wife appar­ ently is back to haunt him in his newly married life. Margaret Rutherford is excellent as Madame Arcati, an eccentric medium. In 1945, "Spirit" earned a special effects Oscar and it would still deserve one today. The second classic oldie is "I Married a Witch," and no, this is not the pilot for "Be­ witched." Samantha is a bit nicer but not as good looking as Veronica Lake, who plays the vengeful witch. She was bumed at the stake in Old Salem and now is back to haunt descendants of the puritan who sent her to death. This saucy comedy is based on a story by Thome Smith and also has good special effects. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. Fri­ day and Saturday nights, and it's free. At midnight, there is another movie with excellent special effects, compliments of the after In film, 1989 was the year of hype. In the spring an unknown director with a cast of nonstars walked away from the Cannes Film Festival with the Palme d'or (best film), best director (Steven Soderbergh) and best actor (JamesSpader) awards for "sex, lies, and videotape." A hot summer discussion topic, the film was not re­ leased until the fall, when summer art-house hype quickly created economic success. Not to be outdone. Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" (a controversial loser at Cannes) created a little hype of its own as journalists, politicians and critics discussed its ambiguous message of racial inequality. Did the film provoke violence and rioting? No, but it did sell tickets. Hypeobviously worked. And then there was that man in the black suit.

"Wuthering Heights" is a stir­ ring adaptation of the classic Emily Bronte novel;—or at least the first 17 chapters. Viewers will not argue, though; sensitive direction and sweeping performances propel this classic story to four-stardom. A haunting film of doomed love in pre-Victorian England, it features Oscar-win­ ning moody photography. Showtime is 8 p.m. and the price of admission is nothing less than curios­ ity and a love of the classics. Upcoming Events: The Connells with Satellite Boyfriend, Feb. 8, Legends. Burton's "Batman." T-shirts, buttons, hats, post­ ers, beach towels, coffee mugs, bubble gum, and even a Prince album were sold by the millions. Forget the fact that the film had more holes than bat cheese. Forget the film lacked structure or dramatic tension. Forget Kim Basinger. All it needed was Jack Nicholson, great sets, and a macabre sense of the absurd to make over $220 million. 1989 will go down as the biggest year for film (around $5 billion worth of tickets), and this included a number of startling debuts. Along with Soderbergh's whose film also introduced a very sexy Laura San Giacomo), 1989 introduced five other very promising directors Kenneth Branagh ("Henry V"), Michael Moore ("Roger & Me"), Jon Amiel ("Queen of Hearts"), Vincent Ward See FILMS pg.7 �The Appalachian.

Don t Be Cruel," Bobby Brown (Andy Swofford, Assis­ tant Secretary for Public Affairs). This listing is an attempt to create a broad and definitive listing, not just of the best music of 1989, but of the music that *is "discovered" in that year by a cross-section of our campus. The only rules given to our esteemed critics were that they could only list ten recordings, and that the year of release didn't matter just that they discovered it last year. The results were, we think you'll agree, somewhat surprising. Pruitt Allen, Diversions Editor, "The Appalachian" (no order) 1. "Three Feet High and Rising," De La Soul, or "Ghetto Music," Boogie Down Productions: I was torn between includ­ ing a number of rap albums I really started listening to rap last year, and now find it the most inventive form of popular music. An honorable mention to Young M.C. 2. "When Harry Met Sally..." soundtrack, Harry Connick, Jr. The future of both big band vocalists and trad-jazz piano. Who could ask for more? 3. Michelle Shocked. I tend to veer away from artists about whom there is a lot of hype. Big mistake in this case. The video VOn the Greener Side" was captivating. 4. "Vivid," Living Colour. Vemon Reid puts forth sounds from his guitar like no other. The best guitarist to break last year. 5. "Greatest Hits, Vol. 1," Roy Orbison. A voice like his comes along once. Period. A great loss to us all. 6."Indigo Girls, Indigo Girls. Deeply moving music. I wore this tape out last year. My vote for debut of the year. 7. Poi Dog Pondering. Hawaiian acoustic street music by way of Austin, Texas. Richly arranged, with melodies that stay with youfordays. I missed seeing them live in New York; my biggest disappointment of the year. 8. "Fifth Symphony," Shostakovich. I'd had this tape for a while, but the incredible power and movement of this work hit mconcnight last winter. Nothing less than a musical guide to the heart and soul of Russia, and its people. 9. Lyle Lovett and his Large Band. Lyle and k. d. Lang play the only country I can listen to. His big band album side was incredible. 10. Mr. Potato Head. A Triangle-area band that played at last summer's Bartender's Ball in Raleigh, an event I was fortunate enough to attend. The most infectious dance band I've ever heard. Do yourself a favor and go to see them. 3. Storm Front, Billy Joel (Brad Edwards, President). 4. "Forever Your Girl," Paula Abdul (Kristin Crawford, I Assistant Secretary). 5. Journeyman, Eric Clapton (April Blanton, Secretary). • 6. Loc-ed After Dark," Tone-Loc (Daryl Ghent, State] Affairs). 7.

Being your average basketball fan, I can The past few weeks have been a period of ups and downs for the ASU men's basketball team, the ups include a win over Nichols State that pushed the Apps to a third place finish in the Youngstown Christmas Classic.The lows include a heartbreak­ justifiably classify the recent ASU-ETSU basketball game as a genuine slam/block fest. From Sam Gibson's blocking a dunk to Ben Miller s in-your-face-over-everyone slams, fans young and old witnessed a great basketball game. However, I have one question. Did ASU really lose the game? Before you begin your whatever he s on I want some" questioning, let me justify myself. Sam Gibson, who had 16 points and 15 rebounds. The team quickly bounced back against Nichols State with an 83-66 victory. Gibson again led the way for ASU, with 17 points, and sophomore Steve Spurlock had 14 rebounds. On Dec. 28, the ASU men's team took on Southwestern Louisiana. The Apps nearly took this one away from S.W. Louisiana but couldn't hold out down the stretch, losing 104-96. Junior guard Rodney Peel led the Apps with 24 points, while Gibson added 11 rebounds. On Jan. 3 the Mountaineers rebounded to beat UNCW in an away game that saw Gibson score 18 points and grab 8 rebounds. Peel added 17 points for ASU. Two days later the Mountaineers traveled to Chattanooga to take on conference foe UTC. The Apps controlled the game from the start to finish, coming away with a 70-56 victory. ASU was lead by Gibson who had 14 points and 8 rebounds. tournament to a Top 20 Oklahoma team with players such as Mookie B laylock and Stacey King. Continuing to surprise some of the best Division I teams with upsets, this year's ETSU squad beat North Carolina State by a Next the Mountaineers went to battle Western Carolina. Western played a tough game taking an 8 point lead into half time. But the Mountaineers, led by Spurlock's 19 points, turned it on to pull out a two point win, 80-78. Sophomore forward Broderick Parker added 18 points for ASU. modest 10 points. Appalachian State came into Saturday's game prepared to play like there was no tomorrow. With some of the best players in recent history, the Apps had a chance to do well. The Mountaineer's backcourt has speed and good shooters, while their frontcourt has big men to control the inside. After two straight losses, it was time to give the App fans On Jan. 13 the Mountaineer*finally returned to Boone after a six-game road trip. They responded by destroying the Citadel 101-64. The Apps were led by Parker and Peel, each with 15 points. Gibson and Spurlock added 7 reboundseach. ASU shot a stunning 59 percent from the field while their defense held the Citadel to a dismal 37 percent. However, everything that went right against the Citadel went wrong against Furman two nights later. Furman won 80-75 despite Gibson s team high of 20 points. The game was ul­ something to cheer about and ASU was ready to Play- Even with all the hype and good, fast-paced basketball, the Apps lost the game by two points, 96-94. Now let's take a look at that fact. Yes, the two team's records reflect a difference in their win/loss columns, but what.about inside the player's minds? The Apps were supported by 5000 plus fans, which were coupled with ETSU s fans to form a record crowd. The team they played was no slouch—the Buccaneer's backcourt, led by "Mister" Jennings, had hung with the best—Chris Corchiani and Rodney Monroe of NC State. Against the odds, however, the Apps led the Bucs by seven at the intermission, 54-47, even leading by as much as 10 before halftime. Now, let's reexamine the game. ASU loses a ballgame in the last 10 seconds of the contest. As far as ETSU and the statistics go, yes, that's true. But morally, inside my mind, and hopefully inside the players' minds, we didn't lose. I, along with many others, believe ASU is just as good, if not better than, ETSU. Why, then, one might ask, did ASU lose? Perhaps' the same reason James Madison lost to Carolina in the final seconds of the first round in the Maui Classic—just plain luck. As most spectators at this weekend's ETSTASU clash know, the Mountaineers clearly outran, outshot and outplayed the Bucs. The Buccaneers thought coming to the "App Dome" would be an easy victory, no matter what Les Robinson or any of the other team coaches or members said. That was apparent with the team s cocky attitude and showy style of play. The irony of the situation occurs as ETSU barely scraped by. Yes, it is written in stone that they did win the game; that fact will never change. But I, along with most other App fans, know that the team that won left the court designated as losers. highlighted by Gibson and Peel scoring8? ** each, withGibson adding 11 rebounds.?,? taineers couldn't overcome the hot shoo Southern Mississippi, who shot an am??0' ing 96-94 loss to ETSU. TheMountaineers started theirChristmas break with a 68-77 loss to Central Michigan. A bright spot for the Apps in that game was senior center Easl Tennessee State came to Boone as a pretty hot ball club, picked to win the Southern Conference hands down. The Buccaneers looked to repeat last year's 20 win season as they returned all five starters. Last year the squad lost by only one point in the NCAA Before a crowd of 8,654, ASU set out to show ETSU what it was made of. From tire be­ ginning, the Apps were hot. All the Mountain­ eers were up for the game, even the fans. To fire up the fans even more, Gibson started things off right with one of his many in-your-face-slams for the game's first two points.

Steve Spurlock continued to be the goto guy for the Mountaineers, hitting clutch basket and grabbing key rebounds. ETS U shot a blistering 65 percent from the field in the second half, and this proved to be too much to overcome. Keith Jennings hit an 11-foot jump shot with 17 seconds left in the game to give ETSD a two-point lead. The Bucs played great defense on the following inbounds play that caused Rod­ ney Peel to force up a desperation shot at the buzzer. ASU head coachTom Apke said the game was a great one in which both teams played hard. "1 thought the key down the stretch was that we were still getting good shots, but they kept hitting clutch three pointers to catch up and finally get aheado( us," said Apke."I have nothing butrespect for Les (Robinson, ETSU head coach) and his program" ETSU coach Les Robinson viewed the game in much the same way."We were very lucky tocoroe away with; a jvin. This was our toughest win of the' year, including the N.C. State game," said Coach Robinson. See ASU pg. 11 Lady Mountaineers defeat Lady Buccaneers By KAREN POPE Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineers defeated ETSU 6967 for their second season victory now. "1 was proud of the kids because they did what it took to win," head coach Linda Robinson said. The Lady Mountaineers held the lead from the tip-off until 15:45 in the half. At that point, Carla Cantrell dropped in a basket for East Ten nesscc to tie the score at 6-6. After Shannon Thomas came back and responded with a basket of her own, the score was tied again at 8-8. Glenda Cunningham pulled ASU back up as the Lady Apps jumped to a 16-8 advantage. After an inten­ tional foul was called against ASU, the Lady Bucs were able to come within five. With 6:43 showing on the clock, Nicole Hopson scored to push East Tennessee to within one at 18-17. Thus, she forced Robinson to call a timeout and pull the Lady Apps back together. ASU was able to stay in control until :43 showed on the clock. Then Kim Fryar dropped in a field goal to push EastTennesseeback to within one. As time ticked off for the first half, the Lady Bucs managed to pass inside for a lay-up with :03 left. After the final basket of the half. East Tennessee had their first lead of the game at the intermission 32-31. In the second half Mitzi Yount scored early, giving the Lady Mountaineers the lead again at 3332- Karen Grucahit a three-pointer to put the score at 41-38. The tension remained as the lead exchanged hands throughout the rest of the game. At 1:43 Jimma Smith dropped a shot to push ASU upagain 68 67. With the shot clock running down, the Lady Bucs drew a foul from the Lady Apps which stopped the clock at :38. Robinson felt the need for a timeout, so the game was halted to discuss last- The Lady Bucs grabbed the rebound and drove downcourt, but they stopped to call a time­ out. In the last seconds of the game, East Tennes­ see was unable to get their shots to fall, leaving the Lady Mountaineers with a two-point victory.

As East Tennessee missed the free thrown, the Lady Mountaineers pulled down the rebound and brought the ball downcourt. At :25 Smith was fouled and put on the line for a one-andone. She hit the first shot, but missed the second to leave the score at 69-67 in favor of ASU. We have to know that we've got to play fully concentrated," Robinson explained "We didn't play near as well as we can." "I give credit to them(ETSU) because they had a good game plan and to our players for making good decisions." Commenting on the exchange of lead Robi son said,"At one time I thought we were going take control but East Tennessee was stubborn ar wouldn't let us." Robinson added, "Glenda and Shannon bo had good block tonight, and Annette (Cain) had big assignment in defending the last shot. And si did a good job." To sum it up, Robinson commented, "Durin crunch time, our folks made the right decisions. Before, the East Tennessee game, the Lad Apps hosted Furman. After having a 37-31 lead: the half, they defeated them 56-53. Commenting on the Furman win, Robinso said, "It was the most enjoyable win here." Previously, they Lady Mountaineers tookoi Virginia commonwealth. ASU led by as many a eight points in the first half, but only led by four a the intermission.

Coming back home, ASU hosted Radford and pulled off a 68-53 victory. Also, playing 31 home against Howard, they won 94-80. Returning to the road again, they Lady Apps traveled t° Florida State and Georgia Southern only to two more tough losses, 77-62 and 91-89 respective!) Finally whileplaying at Campbell, the Lady Moun­ taineers came home with a 69-58 win. Prop 42, drug testing, revised at NCAA convention in Dallas By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor The NCAA held its annual convention in Dallas, Texas Jan.5-10. The main topicsdiscused for theconvention were drug testing, shortening of spring football practice, fewer basketball games and the release of graduation rates of the athletes. Another major proposal discussed was the revision of Proposition 42. The original proposal was passed at last year's convention. The first Proposition 42 said a student with less than a 2.0 grade point average and a 700 on the SAT or a 15 on the ACT could not be offered athletic grants while they sit out their freshman year. The new proposal stipulates that financial aid may be given on a need basis. The source of the aid may not be athletic related, but a partial qualifier who receives need based aid will not count toward the maximum awards limitation until the studentathlete practices or plays with the varsity squad. Proposition 30, the other major porposal at the convention, took four hours and 42 minutes, the longest the convention has ever devoted to one proposal. "We (ASU) voted against it," said Ath­ letic Director Jim Gamer. The propositionconsistcdof three major parts. It reduced the number of regular season basketball games from 28 to 25; reduced spring football practice to 15 sessions from 20, 10 of which may involve contact, and moved the start of pre season basketball back to Nov. 1 from Oct. 15 with the first game not being played before Dec. 1. r< \ Ibrce less basketball games will affect us $30,000 to $35,000," said Gamer. At the convention, Syracuse University said that three games will cost them $2 million and Louisville said it would cost them S1.5 million. "It will cost us some revenue," said Dr. Alan Hauser, ASU's faculty representative to the NCAA. "It seems to me to be a drop in the bucket. I feel it was more of a 'PR' move," said Hauser. The idea of cutting back spring football to 15 session seems like a good idea to Hauser, but he feels there should be contact, especially for the linemen. "The original proposal was no contact," said Hauser. Proposition 30was the ideaof the President's Commission. The President's Commission con­ sists of president's of universities and is supposed to help in the welfare of the student athlete. "The President's Commission has their hearts in the right place but I do not think they know enough about athletics to know if their proposal will do any good," said Hauser. Another major part of the convention made drug testing mandatory for athletes. This new rule does not affect ASU because it has been drug testing for many years. "Drug testing is a neces­ sary and solid move," said Hauser. "I think it's safe to say drugs are a real problem. The student athletes have the chance to use performance in­ ducing drugs. We have been ahead of the game though, said Hauser. Even though this convention started much new legislation there are even bigger changes exPfff^The 1990s are going to be a radical change from what the 80s and 70shave been.

Monday night against the Wildcats of Davidson the Apps looked to bounce back and end their three-game skid. However, the Wildcats seemed to want to spoilt that idea in the first part of the game. Davidson out-rebounded AS U by tenin a very sloppy first half. The Cats held an eight-point lead at one time and were ahead at the half by 1. ASU responded by going on a 27-2 scoring run early in the second half that put the game away. Kemp Phillips hit three-pointers while Gibson and Spurlock controlled the lane with powerful inside games. The Mountaineers cam away with an 88-60 victory. Coach Apke was disap­ pointed with the first half, saying, "Davidson was hungry and we were a little flat after Saturday's (ETSU) game.

Parrot said she also discovered the as­ sailants most likely are men who live in the same-sex dorms or fraternity housing, and have "macho" attitudes which she claims devalue women. In the same study, one of every 15 men said he had committed rape or had at­ tempted rape in the same period. By and large, universities are giving us a much lower (rape) report rate," Parrot said and added that ignoring that rape is a problem on college campuses is a "com­ mon response" among administrators. "Every institution has a problem," she said. After hearing reports of the fourth rape of the semester. University of Missouri at Columbia officials in mid-November banned all little sister programs in campus fraternities. "The environment surrounding the little sister programs makes it more conducive for sexual abuse or alcohol abuse to oc­ cur," Missouri Associate Director of Residential Life Don Grahams said. According to Parrot, the victims are harder to classify. She said she had found that a woman's chances of being a victim of either rape or attempted rape are in­ creased as the number of men she dates increases. She said she had found that the more these men drink, the more likely the woman is to be attacked. Parrot's figures are consistent with Fraternity members were charged in all national figures. four of the incidents. According to official In a 1987 survey of 6,000 students on reports one victim of the rapes was a little 32 campuses nation-wide, one in sixfemale sister and another had been invited to students reported being the victim of rape become a little sister. Three of the rapes or attempted rape in the preceding year. occurred during or after fraternity parties. According to the survey, most women Greek leaders at UMC say they are knew the assailant. getting a "bad rap." "The rapes weren't because of the little s is ter program." President of theSigma Pi Little Sister program at UMC Julie Andcrsohn said. "Guys would have been drunk anyway and would have done it regardless of a party or not" UMC Pi Kappa Phi President Chris Wilson said, "The problem of date rape goes muchfurther than fraternities. We're just easy scapegoats." UMC Interff atemity Council President IelT Garrett said, "The press seems to be focusing on the greek system, but rape and alcohol abuse is a problem of society, not just fraternities." Wilson said banning little sister pro­ grams will not change the statistics. "Regardless of the ban," he said, "the basic party scene on campus will con­ tinue. (The ban) will have no major ef­ fects." L Y Sixteen of the 35 fraternities on the UMC campus disbanded their little sister programs in 1987 when the National Interfratemity Council discouraged them.

The rule, originally reported on in the Dec. 7 edition of "The Appalachian," lied that "guys need to keep hair cut above collar length, not fly in the face or «r food." The Food Service administrators, who originally said the rule was there pd students would have to abide by it, either had a revelation or realized their iorance, because the next day the rule was changed. While it cannot be disputed that Food Services speedily repealed their sexist rule, (fact that it was in existence at all must be questioned when attempting to Bluate the competency and intellect of the "powers that be" at ASU food heaven. It seems the only way to deal with incompetent, medieval rules is to publicize km so the public can see the absurdity in them. One must wonder whether this iticular rule was conceived before or after the Civil Rights movement. Food Service Director Ron Dubberly originally said the organization was asked ijook at its image and this was why the rule was enforced. It should be obvious it the best way this organization could improve its image would be to serve edible id at a reasonable price. Food Services, which does make a profit at the expense [students, has an obligation to improve its marginal-al-best food quality, not to nss the students who work for it. The rule also refers to male employees as "guys." At the very least, this organiza• should realize the students who work for them are men and women who should [treated with proper respect, must be pointed out that the same Food Service administrators who said the ^ was not sexist were among those wfco had the «il&changed. Don'the surprised crow is added to the wide array of "delicious" foods already offered. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that letting women with long hair use a net hilemaking men cut their long hair is sexist. Perhaps the amount of college alon required for a Food Service administrator is lower than that required for I top positions at the university. If that were the case, at least there would be an able reason for their ignorance, mination in any form is a disgrace. Both sexes must be treated equally in a tocratic society. ASU, a governmental institution, has an even greater obligation Heat every person equally. It is to be hoped that in the future this institution will ilay integrity and thought when making "laws" affecting so many who simply no input in such decisions. Recently, narrow-minded Americans have sought hair tied back with bows? Talk about sissy 1 Were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry and Paul Revere—to name but a select few—confused about their masculinity or political phi­ losophies because of their hair styles? I shouldn't even mention their silk stockings. to limit freedoms guaranteed by the U. S. Constitution and its amendments. Now, ASU Food Services has attempted to take away men's rights to wear their hair as they choose. Last December an archaic policy was enforced which would have forced all male—not female—employees of Food Services to cut their hair above their shirt collars—even though the men agreed to wear their hair in nets like the women. Though long hair was a mostly upper-class custom in Colonial limes, we would not have formed our demo­ cratic ideals without the wisdom under their wigs. Does this mean only wise men choose to wear their hair long? I think not. Not only was this mandate sexist in nature, but it was also unconstitutional. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of expression, and hair style is one of these freedoms. However, it is a wise man who welcomes diversity and sees it as the pre-eminent tool for cultural, ethical and technological advancement. Contrary to popular white The mandate has since been withdrawn, but the au­ fact. Brother Jim, who evangelized on campus last year, Anglo-Saxon Protestant belief, the diverse cultures and dacity of Food Services' attempt to limit their employees condemned several of them to hell. I can see no reason ethnic backgrounds of American immigrants is what has freedom is appalling. These people evidently assume why hair style would negatively affect faith in any way. made the United States of America the greatest nation in there is some inherent difference in the proper length of the world. men and women's hair. Fortunately, in America we have a separation of Some people believe we were created by God; others believe we evolved from natural forces. In either case, the powers that be apparently intended for hair to grow freely on most people's heads. If God had intended for men to have short hair, would he not have designed it to break off after it reached a certain length? Also, why is it so easy for some of us to accept Jesus as having long hair—which he may or may not have had—and condemn modem Christian followers of his supposed example? church and stale to prevent such narrow-minded people from limiting our First Amendment right of expression. One of our patriotic duties as Americans is to express ourselves freely. This leads nicely into the political end of the right for men to wear long hair. Many rednecks and other narrow-minded people would argue that all modem long­ haired males are sissies and/or unpatriotic "pinko com­ mies." I wonder how our forefathers would feel about this. I wonder how rednecks and narrow-minded people feel I know of "radical Christians" with long hair whose (I know they don't think) about our forefathers. After all, faith has been denounced by narrow-minded people. In didn't they wear powdered and perfumed wigs of long Long hair may not signify a new era of advancement in the world, but (coincidentally?) a new era is upon us anyway. Long hair was popular during the First wave of de­ mocracy which spread across the American Colonies and Western Europe. Long hair is once again popular during the second great wave of democratic philosophy which has swept through Eastern Europe and China. Long hair on men, in a sense, is a symbol of democ­ racy. Not all men will choose to wear their hair long. That is their right. However, those men who want to wear their hair long—as a sign of protest against the status quo or whatever—will wear their hair long. If their reasons are questioned, they may simply answer—if they choose to answer—"It is an expression of my freedom." "Temptation" reveals human aspect By DR. DAVID N.MIELKE Department of Educational Foundations > lui'djl of SL John's Lutheran Church Special to The Appalachian ordinarily good people become violent at this film's opening—in three cities—yet tolerate such filth as is currently being shown in some of American's cinema theaters? I suggest it is the inability of Christians to deal with the fundamental Christian doctrine of the two natures of Christ. In the film, he is depicted as wres­ tling with these two natures—God and man—and, at the end of the film, fantasiz­ ing on the cross what it would have been like if he had been only man and not man and God. This "last temptation" is the primary objection being voiced by Christian crit­ ics. But there are things about faith and the film which should be discussed in order to put the film into a Christian perspective. In the context of the freedom of serious inquiry, I am pleased that A.P.P.S. has decided to present Martin Scorsese's film, "The Last Temptation of Christ" on Jan. 19 and 20. During the past year, there has been a lot of effort expended by the Chris­ tian community in the criticism of this film, and the town of Boone hasreacted by not only refusing to book the film in its theaters, but self-righteously refusing to stock it for rental in its video outlets. (I find this fact puzzling when I peruse through the list of trashy films which are available from them.) During the mid 1960s, I was a student at First of all. Christians need to be re­ East Tennessee State and enrolled in a minded of what they know about Jesus class entitled "Philosophical Perspectives Christ.

I was so underwhelmed by that literary experience I completely forgot Third, he died on the cross, was buried, about the book until the current film con­ and rose from the dead so all who believe troversy arose. might have everlasting life. The question which begs to be asked is what is there about this film which would It is important for Christians to under­ cause people to get so upset? Why would stand that Christ was God come to earth in human form. Christ was the union of God and Mary. This is called the incarnation. and, as John tells us, "The Woe* flesh and dwelt among us." Think about how difficult it is to under­ stand such a concept; Jesus Christ fully human and fully God. This issue was settled at a church council more than 1500 years ago. Fully human, fully God, sub­ ject to the same things in his life as we are in ours, desire, temptation, suffering, etc., but divine and sinless. In Hebrews 2:18, Paul tells his readers that Christ knows what it is like when people suffer and are tempted, because he has been through both. Later in Hebrews 4:15, the reader is toldChrist has the same temptation we do (including, of course, sexual temptation), through he never once gave in to them and sinned. There are many places in the scriptures where Jesus is recognized as man, but not as God. Consider John 6:41-42: "The Jews...said. Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whosefather and mother we know? How does he now say, I have come down from heaven?" It was a great leap of faith for his followers to see Jesus of Nazareth as God come to earth as a man, because this man lived among them. Consider Christ walking on the sea during the middle of the night following the feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:22221. The disciples were terrified whefl thly saw Jesus, thinking of him as a ghoa ghos* , saw Jesus, (r:26). But whatmakesthfrwalMfiifon the water so miraculous? It isn't that they viewed God as doing it, because God may believably do anything he wishes. No, it was because this man Jesus was walking on the water. Over the past 1500 years or so humans have formed concepts of Christ in their own minds which sometimes do not accu­ rately reflect the biblical Christ. For ex­ ample, many people today want to make Jesus Christ more God than human, when Christians know he was fully both. Think of how Christ was portrayed by Hollywood in such motion picture epics as "The Robe," "Ben Hur," or any similar films. It seems as if Christ is always de­ picted as something more than he was — God as man. I would suggest the reason for that is because people recoil from Christ's humanity. They don't want their Lord and Savior to be both human as they are as well as divine. This humanity re­ minds them too much of themselves.

I am writing in response to the commentary "Poor Attendance Hurts Team" in the Nov. 21, 1989 edition of "The Appalachian." I am fed up with football getting all the publicity at ASU. I've been taking all of "The Appa­ lachian's" sports pages devoted to football too long. Before I put people on the defensive, I realize that football is a revenue sport and engages more athletics in play than other sports. I run cross-country, and the aforementioned article is the straw that broke this camel's back. To those who may not know, there are other teams at ASU and each "team needs to know that the whole university community is behind it and is proud of what it has accomplished this year," not just the football team. Just to inform you, unlike the football team, the men's cross-country team did win the Southern Conference title and our new coach, Al Fereshetian, did deserve and received Southern Confer­ ence Coach of the Year. We didn't complain when only a few people came to watch us run. I would personally like to thank all of those who did come to support us, all 20 of them (and that's including parents). I'm sure the football team would be upset with only twenty fans. Before "The Appalachian" goes thrashing students for not coming to a football game, remember that other sports have been putting up with low attendance for years. It's time that changed. But we (the other athletes at ASU) continue to work as hard as we can to belter ourselves, continue to read all the articles about the football team, and continue to wish we could perform before a crowd as attended the Marshall game. By the way, I'm sure Mr. Jim GameT can't remember the lowest attendance for a cross-country meet because he's never been to one. But go ahead. Go on and give all the coverage to football, go on and complain about a crowd other sports would be overjoyed to have, and go on putting all the money into football. We've gotten along just fine without it. Thank you, Mr. Jim Gamer, for being the Football Director instead of the Athletic Director. Steve Simandlc ASU Box 5144 There are clear-cut ways to conserve To the Editor: Over the last few months as a freshman at Appalachian State Univer­ sity, I've been exposed to many disheartening figures relating to our environment and present state of humanity. These figures relating to our environment and present state of humanity. These figures are enough to make even the staunch optimist feel the weight of depression. Please realize that you can make a difference. I have been beleaguered by all of these down to earth facts, but realized that humanity does have a chance. This chance lies in the commitment of every individual to the preservation of our common envi­ ronment. This includes the dedication of the individual to participate in preserv­ ing the environment through such methods as recycling. Another very crucial contribution can be made through communication of concerns to legislators. Recently I have been examining the very controversial issue of clearcutling. This issue is of special concern to the people of this area who have the advantage of being surrounded by the mountains, but also involves everyone who has an interest in the preservation of beauty in our environment. By understanding more factors involved with clearcutling, I have realized that until society's demand for wood and paper products is curbed this problem can not be alleviated. Without recycling or the development of alternate resources, clearcutling is the only solution, and is not a very good one. When it comes to clearcutting, whether or not there is a problem, you be the judge. Currently, less than five percent of our native forests remain.

The Who, The Rolling Stones and others are touring and playing for sell-out crowds that range in age from 14 to 45. The Grateful Dead have a second generalion of "Dead Heads" (I hate that name!) and not even a yuppie's wardrobe is complete without a tie-dye. And, of course, everyone knowsabout Woodstock. Right? Wrong! A few months ago, I asked someone I tnow—who shall remain nameless for his 0wn well being—what Woodstock was. He said it was the little yellow bird in the "Peanuts" comic strip. He honestly had no idea it was a festival of love and peace attended by over a quarter of a million people in 1969. This was obviously a situation that needed to be remedied. So, with some help from a "Life" magazine that described Woodstock, I promptly educated my deprived and unenlightened friend. Alas, I think he blew some circuits. It was completely beyond him why a quarter of a million people would want to be together night and day for three days through sun­ shine and rain just to hear some people sing. I tried to explain it to him, but it didn't go well at all. I eventually realized I would have to be content that he at least knew what Woodstock was. After this odd occurrence, I went on with my life, unaware that he was unin­ formed about other things as well. I made this discovery one afternoon when I excit­ edly went to tell one of his roommates I had gotten floor seats tor the Grateful Dead show in Charlotte. Since his room­ mate wasn't there, I told him. "Grateful what?" he asked. As it turned out, he had never heard of the Grateful Dead, had no idea what a "Dead Head" was and, of course, had never heard their music. I thought surely he had at least heard TouchofGrey."Anyonewhoeven turned on the radio in the last three years must have heard the song at least once. Again, 1 was wrong. He had not heard of that song nor any other by the Grateful Dead. Immediatelylput'TheBestofThe Grateful Dead/What A Long StrangeTrip It s Been in the tape deck, sat him down and made him listen to the music. I explained about their widespread popularity among certain people and told him about the people who follow them all over the country sleeping in tents, cars or wherever they can find a space. The poor guy was more lost than ever. I thought he was absolutely confused by the concept of Woodstock, but I was wrong. He reached absolute confusion while trying to understand the popularity of the "Dead Band," as he now calls the Grateful Dead. My story gets even better(or worse, depending on your point of view). Last week I was going down the stairs in the Student Union when I ran into him again. He said he had just been thinking about me. I asked him why, and he said there was something for sale that had something to do with the "Dead Band," but he wasn't quite sure what it was. I thought it might be recordings of the Charlotte shows so I asked him to show me where it was. The notecard read,"For S ale: Grateful Dead tie-dyes." He pointed to the word tie-dyes and asked what it meant. Well, DON'T SIGN UP FOR A STUDENT LOAN UNTIL YOU SIGN UP HERE.

If you haj^ened to be in the Student Union at the time, you were proba­ bly one of the 20 or so people who turned and stared with their mouths on the floor. OK, I'm exaggerating, but only a little. People did look. I really couldn't believe it, though. The poor guy must wear blinders toclass every day because at least 75 percent of A.S.U. students own at least one tie-dye. Again, I had a situation that needed to be remedied. The quickest way to show him a tie-dye was to take him to the Sweet Shop. We walked in and there were three people wearing tie-dyes. Upon realizing a tie-dye was nothing more than a shirt with "the colors all swirled up," he informed me he owned one but didn't like it—his mom had bought it for him. The thread that travels through my entire story is that I was wrong. I was wrong in assuming everyone knows what I con­ sider to be "common knowledge." As much as I hate to admit it, a person can survive college without knowing what a tie-dye is or who the Grateful Dead are. I won'tconcede Woodstock, though—even "Doogie Howser, M.D." did a show about that! So, we both learned something. I learned that I, along with a lot of other people on this campus, need to realize that even though we're all different, we're all here to get an education—from "granolas"(another name I hate) to Greeks. Part of that education is meeting people who think and believe differently than we do. We shouldn't deprive ourselves of that by having a closed mind.

By JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Columnist I was amazed and horrified to turn on my television a few weeks ago to leam that we were invading Panama. In the eraof the most sweeping political changes since World War II, when the East Bloc is going in to business for itself and we're even starting to glimpse the possibility of the USSR implementing a multiparty system, we roll out the tanks to lake out a two-bit dictator and supposedly restore democracy in a country that has had little more than a succession of dicta­ torships we've always propped up as long as they've gone along with our party line. There has been much frantic raving about why we went in: American lives were threatened, drugs were coming through Panama like money through a savings and loan, Noriega declared war on us, and, even though they said the oppo­ site, leaders in the region wanted us to come in. I don' t know much about military mat­ ters, but it seems to me it would be awfully difficult to threaten a group of 35,000 people who have military bases handy. Noriega did announce that Panama was in a state of war with the United States, but that seems to be one of the favorite activi- tiesof NazisinCharge"worldwidewhen­ ever things aren't going their way politi­ cally. I m pretty sure that if we invaded every time the head politico began spouting this kind of gibberish, Havana would have a McDonald's by now and Libya would be an American state. Hate and bad karma with the 5 ankee Imperialist" are particu­ larly popular lines of thought in Latin America, which has plenty to resent about the United States as it is. There is a tremendous drug trade in Central and South America, but it doesn't look like wiping out Noriega is going to have any effect on the business end of this trade. The belief that hunting Noriega down like a wounded animal will make any inroads toward ending the scourge of narcotics abuse in this country points to the general naivete of our approach. The notion of supply and demand in an economy posits that as long as there is a demand that can be fulfilled in a profitable fashion, there will be a supply. Supplying people with alternatives to narcotics abuse will do a lot more for ending the problem than any number of military action. This approach is bound to be less costly both in terms or money spent and in human lives. In fact, the "War on Drugs" in Latin Amer­ ica is starting to sound a lot like the Viet­ nam War, only with worse music and more poorly defined objectives. To top it all, we have the audacity to believe that even though they said no, the leaders in the Organization of American States really wanted us to invade. This notion is antithetical to the democratic ideals on which our government is sup­ posedly rounded. We have invaded sover­ eign nations in Latin America around 150 times since weranoff the British and went into business for ourselves. The recent action in Panama was roundly denounced in Latin America, and our allies in other parts of the world didn't exactly call out the cheerleaders for us either. We were denounced when we invaded Grenada and for our ongoing abuse of Nicaragua. When are we going to leam? This is not to say we should not honor those who served bravely in this action. We should take great comfort in the fact that the military in this country, unlike the militaries of more countries than I care to think about, does what it's told to do when it s told to do it. Dying while defending America is a noble sacrifice, but it is equally noble to avoid situations in which such sacrifices have to be made. What I question here is the soundness of govern­ ment policy, not the bravery or our troops. Surely the way to democracy in places like EI Salvador doesnot include giving as much as one million a day in assistance to governments who deal with political dis­ sent in a fashion that would make Josef Stalin proud. Education, health care and economic opportunities are going to do a lot more for promoting the American way than war toys. Environmentally sound economic opportunities that are more stable and sustainable that growing opium are the wave of the future for diplomacy, rather than greasing down dirt-poor peas­ ants with Spike - a herbicide banned for use in the U S that works on people about as well as it does on plants. The way to encourage demo­ cratic reforms in Latin America is to take notice of Gorbachev's approach to Eastem Europe: stay out. There areless violent ways to encourage change than resorting to force. The problem is they are not "quick fixes." There is nothing nearly so dramatic as watching American troops flying in with all of their machinery and weapons at the ready. It is much more exciting than comprehensive economic sanctions or economic assistance. In the long run, however, helping the people of developing nations to become empow­ ered to produce for and rule themselves will do more good than sending in the troops to do whatever it is they do when they get there.

When I was a boy there were a number of us sitting around discussing the great truths of our human existence, primarily human sexuality. After arriving at the mechanical understandingof sex (for some of us that was even hard to believe) one of the older boys told the group: "Your par­ ents did that to have you or you wouldn't be here now. A little boy, echoing my thoughts, stood up and exclaimed: "No! Not my mom and dad! They would never do anything like that!" There are human things which simply need not be considered.

In "The Last Temptation of Christ," Jesus is depicted near death on the cross having a devil-led fantasy (sec Second Corinthians 11:14). The fantasy centered on what it would have been like if he had been only human; growing up, falling in love, having a family, working as a car­ penter and dying a natural death. These are human thoughts and tempta­ tions which Jesus faced, and the film depicts him as not giving in to tempta­ tions. Instead, he returns to the cross to face death and fulfill his destiny. Cer­ tainly the presentation of Jesus' thoughts and temptations are well within the realm of possibility. Prior to the crucifixion Jesus was I I I I I I I I I WIN tempted by the devil, and several of these accounts are recorded in the gospels. The objected-to sexual temptation is certainly no belter or no worse than any of the biblically reported temptations Jesusfaced. How should Christians respond to this film? The decision has to be the individual's alone. A mature person of faith can deal with the subject matter. If people finds it affirming of their faith (as many people have) then that's just fine. If they finds it offensive, then that's fine, too. We live in a free society. You know God would die a horrible death nailed to a cross of wood, followed in three days by resurrection from the dead—an event awaiting all believers at the time of the Second Coming—because this God chose to give his life for us. If you see the film, you, unlike many of the protesters, will know where you stand on it. If you are a committed Christian with the understanding of the scriptures and articles of faith taught by the church. One film, "The Last Temptation of Christ," should not pose a threat to Chris­ tians' faith. Is the film good or bad? That is for you to decide. At any rate, it has certainly pushed many people to consider more deeply the humanity of Christ. A SUPERBOWL PARTY Name Address City Telephone.

Edwards added SGA is currently in the process of forming a committee to study campus beautification. According to Edwards, the Academic Affairs Committee saw the completion and finalization of the first December graduation. The Off-Campus Affairs Committee put together a proposal to place four new crosswalks around campus, which has been approved by the ASU Administration and the Boone Town Council. The proposal will now be pre­ sented to the North Carolina Department of Transportation. He said the Student Affairs Committee had passed bills which will place four ice machines in residence halls, one for each cluster, and will allow for early registra­ tion for parking stickers. According to Edwards, this will occur in the spring if accepted by the administratioa Edwards also noted other issues and concerns that SGA has addressed this semester, such as bringing the USA Dis­ count Card to students, faculty and staff, which gives them discounts at 27 area businesses. He added SGA also adopted North Carolina Central University as ASU's "sister school." Wooten said: "The accomplishments of SGA this semester have been outstand­ ing. The various bills, resolutions and pro­ posals are important to the future of ASU. The quality of SGA is the best it has ever been." Edwards said he wanted to avoid spot­ lighting individuals: "The key to success this fall has not been a one man job or cabinet oriented. It's been the involve­ ment and participation of the 75 to 80 people involved directly with SGA and the other 11,000 plus students." In the address, Edwards reminded sena­ tors that, "We still have another semester to work together and foT the students, so I challenge and encourage you, as we head into the 1990s and a new semester, that we will keep our focus on the service to the students of ASU." Next semester will not see a drop in activity, Edwards said. The Academic Affairs Committee is preparing a "Sylla­ bus Guide"of all professors' syllabiintoa booklet to give students a chance to com­ pare professors. Edwards said the com­ mittee is still working on afull May gradu­ ation. According to Edwards, SGA will be working hard to complete their platform with efforts regarding thenoise ordinance, Greek housing and the beautification of campus. Turn the page ...

Mary On the Dash had been together for about a year with a different lead singer/guitarist and different songs. Then the singer split. So Leon stepped in at the vocal end of things, and guitarist Brat Flyn (also known as David Thrower) stepped into the guitarrole when Hege V broke up. The band, which also includes bass player Rob Boyle and drummer/singer David Liggett has been together in their current lineup ever since. Of Personality' was getting really popular, so the crowd was really good." Another single show of real note was the band's performance at CBGB's in New York City last spring. On the bill with three other bands, Mary On the Dash had an excellent well-attended set. That might have been what got the ball rolling for the band's recording-contract hopes. Mary On the Dash has just come off a two-night stand at Rockefella's in Green­ ville, one of their regular stopping places. While they've never really been much Mary On the Dash plays rock tinted with a veritable smorgasbord of influences, from punk to rap to country to funk to blues to those old TV westerns the band watches so many of. The band began building a large fol­ lowing in the Triangle area after playing a few gigs around their home base, Chapel Hill. Since that time, their fan base has grown both deep and wide, and the press accolades never stop rolling in. Perhaps their biggest concert so far was the opening set they did for Living Colour back in late January at Memorial Hall in Chapel Hill. Despite a few pre-show jit­ ters, Mary On the Dash went out and played a superb set of their own music. When asked if he enjoyed working with Living Colour, Leon replied: "Yes, I did. It was really fun. It was right when 'Cult west of Tennessee, their travels as a band have extended from The Big Apple down to Atlanta, Ga. Leon can'treally come up with a defnitive reason why the band is so popular. "We go up there and play really hard. And just good songs." Well, that's all you need in rock'n'roll. Do yourself a favor and get on over to Legends tonight for a sample of one of the hottest new bands in North Carolina. Doors will open at Legends at 8:30p.m. and admission is $3. You can buy a ticket at the door or at the ticket window in the student union. Broaden your musical horizo, $1.50 admission to the 7 or 9 p.m. show tonight at I.G. Greer Theater. For those of you who have a strong desire for loud, hard rock'n'roll, with just enough rough edges to make it fun and entertaining, A.P.P.S. has Mary on the Dash in Legends tonight (see related ar­ ticle, this page). This four member troupe from Chapel Hill mixes a storm of Southem guitar rock with enough influences to get anyone to enjoy them. Their name comes from the 70s fad of having aplastic version of the the Virgin Mother sticking to the family dashboard. The price of admission is just $3 and a desire for fun. While Christmas means all sorts of dumb movies will be played onTV, it also means such interesting things as Christ­ mas tree lighting and caroling. Tonight the United Campus Ministries is sponsor­ ing just this at 5:30 p.m. in front of the Belk Library. The School of Music is hosting the Men's Glee Club as they perform in Rosen Concert Hall at 8 p.m. Friday (see photo, this page). Also, Tuesday night has the Appalachian Chorale and Woodwind Ensemble performing at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall. Both of these events are free and should be very enjoyable. Some of the dumbest moviesever made that were not Christmas movies will be shown atl.G. Greer Theater this weekend. A.P.P.S. is even trying tomakepeoplepay to see these movies; they should have to pay people to see these stinkers. First off, Friday night at 7 p.m. will be the "Apple Dumpling Gang." A predictable westerncomedy starring Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Bill Bixby and Slim Pickens, this movie probably made Walt Disney's ashes turn over. Saturday at 7 p.m. you can see "The Parent Trap," a film so dumb it might just make you see double. It is aimed at every­ one who wished they could go blind and ' make everyone else sony they treated you so bad." The Indigo Girls catc them.

This movie is horrible. It shows Jim Vamey as his bumbling self, ruining the simplest of tasks. Both nights cost only $1 each, and might beenjoyable—if only forthe warmth of the theater. For those of you who are a bit more energetic and enjoy "alternative" music, A.P.P.S. has a pretty good fix for you. Friday night, local band Psycho-Acous­ tics Research and Development will be playing in the Pub, with Model Testing, an industrial dance band, opening up. Psycho-Acoustics will be coming off a packed performance at the Attic this past Friday and should be in good shape to work out some great guitar-driven rock'n'roll songs.

See HORIZONS pg. 4 early next semester On their self-titled Epic LP, Atlantabased singer/songwriter/ guitarists Amy Ray and Emily Saliers—collectively known as Indigo Girls—serve up a strik­ ing collection of 10 radiant, dynamically performed songs highlighting the duo's contrasting yet complementary vocal styles. From the stark intimacy of "Secure Yourself' and "Kid Fears," to the gentle spirituality of"CloserTo Fine" and "Prince of Darkness," to the sheer tunefulness of "Tried To Be True" and "Land Of Ca­ naan," their eponymous Epic debut album is one of 1989' s most emotionally satisfy­ ing and musically compelling releases. i War" are very danceable, and everyone should "boogie 'til you drop."

Two keyboardists and adrummer beatout an ethereal,moody melody coupled with industrial rhythms and aggressive drums. They promise to be very different than most of the music coming out of Boone and hope the audi­ ence will like them and choose to dance, though keyboardist Matthew Hatch says, "I'll kick... anyone who just jumps up and down in front of the stage." The price is only $2 for students and $3 for the genera] public. Doors open at 8:45 p.m with the first band going on at 9 p.m. The show is also being billed as "a visual experience you will not forget." So be sure to come early and bring your dancing shoes.

In 1987, Indigo Girls made their first full-length album, "Strang# Firn,"one® again relaawd on th® duo's homespun Indigo label.

Amy and Emily set out to make a sparse, direct record while still making tasteful use of outside musicians,"We wanted tocapture our live sound for this record," explains Emily. "We recorded the songs all the way through, the way we play them on stage," Amy adds. "But we worked very hard to make sure that every single note was in tune, and we did them over if it wasn't." "Indigo Girls" features contributions from an impressive supporting cast. Fel­ low Georgians R.E.M. add a jangly rock kick to 'Tried To Be True," while that band's frontman, Michael Stipe, sings on "Kid Fears."

It is the illusory visionof the choice of normal life and its comforts instead of sacrifice and death. Yet it seems to me that his Christ is by no means humanized to just another martyr, but that he has the essen­ tial once-for-allness of Christian theol­ ogySearching analysis of the book is not possible here. There is space enough only to add that it is an extraordinary work of art, overwhelming at moments, seeming to falter at others, inconsistent yet essentially sustained. Itpurges. There are wonderful passages of many kinds, such as the first two paragraphs of Chap­ ter 19, beginning, "Great things happen when God mixes with man." Elsewhere, Jesus in the desert finds the carcass of the scapegoat: "My brother, you were inno­ cent and pure, like every animal. But men, the cowards, made you bear their sins, and killed you. Rot in peace; feel no malice against them. Men, poor weak creatures, have not the courage to pay for their sins themselves: they place them upon one who is sinless." Later: "God placed him along my path to show me who I am and where I am heading." Kazantzakis is at his lush best in a wine-treading scene as rich as a Breughel. His Judas, nationalism incarnate, puri­ tanical, violent, and tragic, is tapped to do his terrible duty because he is the strong one. He is the composite, in part, of some of Kazantzakis's earlier saviors. His Lazarus raised is a cryptic, silent golem. Earthy, crafty, wealthy Zebedee is a bril­ liant portrait. His painfully emerging Jesus and the temptations that assail him are from the spiritual history of Kazantzakis, haunted always in book and life by the Manichaean dualism of flesh and spirit. The author's prologue movingly states his purpose. "This book was written be­ cause I wanted to offer a supreme model to the man who struggles; I wanted to show him that he must not fear pain, temptation or death—because all three can be conquered, all three have already been conquered." I suspect that "The Greek Passion,"the awaited "St. Francis," and "The Last Temptation of Christ" ultimately will prove to be the dominat­ ing triptych in Kazantzakis's massive body of work. As more and more of the work of Nikos Kazantzakis becomes available in English translation, inevitable compari­ sons will be made between his work and personality and that of D.H. Lawrence. Both were Dionysian, demon-drivenmen; both place the instinct, the promptings of the blood, above themore ordered deduc­ tions of the mind; both celebrated the primitive and even atavisticorigins of the human spirit; both were true travelers who in landscape and inscape discerned the contours of God's or Nature's pur­ pose (the two words areexact synonyms); both turned to the physical universe for their imagery and away from urban mechanics and subtleties; both extolled strife and crucifixion as the unavoidable and necessitous law of life and even of love; both were impatient with refine­ ments of craft and entrusted themselves to the demonic outpouring of creative in­ spiration; both were disciples of Nietzche's Zarathustra, valuing above all else themoment of cleaving insight given the man of vision; both placed theprophet above the man of letters; both were obsessed bymessianic drives and dreams. And each became the untidy skirmish ground where friends blinded by love and foes blinded by hate fought not so much over his meanings as squabbled over his values as man and prophet. This summer in the United States we shall be reading two books by Kazantzakis which add fuel for further comparison with Lawrence, and for controversy: a book of spiritual exercise, "The Saviors of God [SR, July 28], and the novel reviewed here. All his life Kazantzakis had been obsessed with the meaning and flesh and spirit, God and the Devil are in purpose of great spiritual leaders—Bud­ physical and moral tension. What Louis dha, Moses, Mohammed, St. Theresa, St. Untermeyer has called the obsession of Francis—and especially with Christ. In D.H. Lawrence is also thatof Kazantzakis: early youth he had written a poetic drama, "the dark fire, the broken body, the "Christ"; later, a poem in terza rima, struggle, death, and resurrection of cruci­ "Christ"; and toward the end of hiscareer fied flesh." two novels, "The Greek Passion" (in Greek entitled"Christ Recrucified"), and Reprinted from the Saturday "The LastTemptation of Christ." For his Review, August 6,1960 heretical treatment of the Savior and examination of his motives, the Greek Orthodox Church tried to excommuni­ cate him; and the Roman Catholic Church placed "The Last Temptation" on its Index. To the Committee of the Index, Kazantzakis telegraphed a sentence from Tertullian: "Ad tuum, Domine, tribunal, appello." He added the following note; "I address the same sentence also to the Greek Orthodox ChuTch, 'At your tribu­ nal, Lord, I make my appeal.' For our Metropolitans and Bishops I add the fol­ lowing: 'Holy Fathers, you gave me a curse, butI give you a blessing. Mayyour conscience be as pure as mine, and may you be as moral and as religious as I.' " Like his good friend Albert Schweitzer, Kazantzakis spent his life in a struggle to find, assess, and assert spiri- , tua] values. For him, the motive of all life was to transubstantiate flesh into spirit. ! But because of certain refinements in ' theology and church dogma during the past half century, certain ambiguities in 1 the mind of his readers must be clarified: [• Kazantzakis did not believe in personal immortality, nor in an unearthly Para­ dise, nor inChrist as the Sonof God in the literal and dogmatic sense of that term. God, forKazantzakis, meant man'ssearch for spiritual refinement of matter in the physical universe; and in this sense only is Christ, and all other spiritual leaders, the SonofGod. Thespiritualmanmust eternally be crucified, like Christ, on the dualities of the Cross: the horizontal beam of the grave traversed by the verti­ cal beam of life where good and evil. • 1 �i "c rippaiacnian, i nursday, uecemoer /, ivov Call us today and enjoy the luxury of hav­ ing your own bedroom!

Peel, Parker put an exclamation point on the game with a breakaway jam. • AppalaihUn SUIT Will« The ASU men's basketball team held off a late rally by UNCC to defeat the 49ers, 88-81, in a very physical and emodonal game. Seniorpoint guard Kemp Phillips led all scorers with 23 points, including five three pointers. Students The Mountaineers were led by Phillip's 23 points and Parker's 22 points. Also scoring for ASU were: Miller, 5; Gibson, 15; Peel, 6; Steve Spurlock, 10; Billy Ross, 5; and Tim Powers, 2.

Could it be that Steve Spurlock hit his head on the gym rafters traded leads a few times, and the game was tied at 71 with 5:37 left in the game. in each of the two games? Maybe. But neither of these is the most accurate answer. The correct answer is that the wackos were in attendance and yelled their lungs out at both of the games. Then ASU senior center Sam Gibson hit a 10-footer and the Mountaineersnever looked back. After someclutch free-throw shooting by Broderick Parker and Rodney If you have been to a basketball game this year you have most likely heard this group of fans that sits in the lower section on the far side, close to the near goal. These fans call themselves the wackos or the crazies or something to signify they are not like normal basketball fans who come to games and analyze things like momentum and yho's getting the most offensive rebounds. These fans just come to the game to let it all hang out and yell their lungs out. "I don't know what his final stats were, but Williams had to work and fight for everything he got. I thought Rodney Peel played excellent defense on him." Tom Apke Mountaineer Head Coach ASU head coach Tom Apke said this was "a very big win for us, and a good experience. I have so much respect for Mullins and the program at UNCC, so this should give us more confidence as the season goes on." He said the keys to the game were senior leadership (Phillips and Gibson) and the team's defense, espe­ cially on Williams.

State to claim the Magus Cup for the North Carolina Club Football Association Championship. Claiming the trophy for the second year in arow, ASUhas won eight outoflhelast 12 Magus Cup Championship games. The ASU offensive line allowed for a solid running and passing attack, despite the harsh weather conditions. Quarter­ back 'Toss" Oliver connected for two touchdown bombs to receiver P.J. Sovza in the first and second quarters for a combined 164 yards. Tight end Mike Greer earned his first career touchdown in the second quarter on a 35 yard pass from Oliver. A fourth quarter touchdown came from tailback Mike Delphias on a three yard run. Placekicker John Ottendorf added the PAT. Delphias and fullback Charles Martin combined for 153 yards on the ground. The ASU defense held N.C. State to only one touchdown. NCSU's Chris Mervin ran for a two-yard touchdown that came as a result of a Brent Keadle inter­ ception in the third quarter. Winning 25-6, ASU finished the year with a9-1 record. ASUaveraged 38 points per game and allowed only 8.7 points per game. NCSU ended the season at 7-3. As for secret to the club's success. Club Football President Pete Macaluco says, "We are just a bunch of adrenaline junkies who are determined on winning." Another factor to the team's success is head coach Steven Ginader. Ginader has been the club's coach for a decade and is 38-5-1 in the last four games. "I get a great rush out of knowing my players put out 110% for me, that's all I can ask of them," Ginader said.

The final round of the flag football tournament was held at Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium on Monday, Nov. 27. The playoffs, which were supposed to have been held prior to Thanksgiving break, had to be postponed several times due to unfavor­ able weather conditions. In women's flag football. O.S.D.C. and the Boozettescollided in the final round of tournament play. These two teams had battled before in the second round of the tournament with the O.S.D.C. fighting its way to a 27-0 victory. In the champion­ ship playoff, the O.S.D.C. defeated the Boozettes 19-0. There was no stopping the O.S.D.C. this year. "We played well together as a team. Our offense ran the ball well and our defease could not have been better. The defense did not allow any scoring to be made all season," said JoAnne McPhail of the O.S.D.C. squad. Members of the winning team are captain Lisa Ollinger McPhail, Andrea Langley, Donna Shel ton, Sherrie Meyers, Angela Dale, Jen nifer Bijan, Dcnise Bishop, Diane Bishop, Diane Ross, Trish Boyles and Jennifer Wilson. In men's flag football, the Rock Chalk ers and the Captain Crunchers clashed in the championship playoffs. The Captain Crunchers fought their way to the win by defeating the Rock Chalkers 25-19. After they lost last year to the Nikes in the final Playoff game, winning this year's cham­ pionship was a sweet victory for the Captain Crunchers. This season the Crunchers beat the Nikes 21-12 to go to the final round of the tournament. "Last year was a great disappointment (losing to the Nikes), but this year we played better as a team, and the hard work paid off,"said Bill Burham of the Captain Crunchers.

Recognizing a i special staff This is the time of year when the Editor-in-Chief usually bids farewell to departing section editors and welcomes new staff members. However, this jiH is unusual in that the entire editorial staff will be returning after Christmas break, probably a first in the 65-year history of the newspaper. My sincere thanks go out to this year's staff who have dedicated their time and energy to the success of this newspaper. It takes approximately 75 students to produce the paper, and this is undoubtedly the best overall staff the paper has ever had. The caliber of writing this semester reflects the care and dedication this editorial staff and their writers demonstrate in their assignments. This thoroughness and dedication is indicative of the ever increasing quality of The Appalachian." This year, 'The Appalachian" entered the computer age with the addition of over $30,000 in computer equipment and software. The sophisticated graphic look of the paper goes hand-in-hand with the renewed emphasis on quality journalistic writing. In addition to the talented section editors mentioned in the masthead above, ^production, business and photography staffs, as well asnumerous writers, give much of their time for very little money. These "unsung" heroes and heroines of Student Publications are greatly appreciated. The production staff, who rarely have their names in the paper, includes: Lenore Hoyt, Tom Lawlor, Larissa Lewis, Kayla Dufour, Anita Grant, Angeline Hymes, Teresa Smith, Scott Hoosier, David Washco, Buffy Racey, Beverly Lee, Pam Pearce, Paula Floyd and Beth Charles. Thanks also to Jack Small for his computer advice and to student publications' new graduate assistant, J. Jeffrey Turner. The advertising production staff includes Janet Creech and Monzell Dunlap. The business staff includes: Tina Fulbright, Sandy Mitchell, David Orcutt, wy RolisOn, Greg Stewart and Ray Tutterow. The Student Publications office staff helps out in many ways and includes: wnda Baldwin, Adriane Watkind, Kim Hubbard, Tonya Johnson, Don WlIs°n and Vicky Lytle. A very special thanksgoes to the newspaper's advisor and Coordinator for wdent Publications Mary Ann Sabo whose long hours and dedication have an inspiration to the entire staff. Jon T. Jimison Editor-in-Chief THE FAR SIDE If George Bush is a true leader— not a promising way to start a sentence— he will demand answers from the government of El Salvador. The senseless and brutal murders of six Jesuit priests were only the latest in a long and continuing series of injustices carried out by Alfredo Cristiani's government against their own people. Year after year, this hard-line, right-wing government has murdered , raped, pillaged, burned and terrorized the Salvadoran people and never had to be accountable to the government of the United States. This is despite the fact that we are sending them almost $550 million in aid every year. The only reason we seem to allow this is because the Cristiani government is pro-American and claims to be a democracy. I fail to see how they can be pro-American while not allowing any of the American values, such as freedom and human rights, to flourish in their country. Furthermore, it's always been my understanding that democratic governments don't terrorize theirown people. What s even more astonishing than the horrors com­ mitted in that nation is the reluctance of our government to react to them in an appropriate manner. While mem­ bers of the church (both American and Salvadoran), as well as every other human rights organization in the world, have condemned the Salvadoran regime; our own government has sat passively by, continuing the massive aid to this government. The United States does itself no favors in supjpjorting Cristiani. We should not allow this kindof behavior from these pjeople simply because they claim to be on our side in the fight against communism. The U.S. claims to be — and for the most part is— a moral nation. We, as its citizens, should aspire to be moral leaders around the world By refusing to denounce the actions of the Cristiani government, the U.S. government is failing in that role. doran pjeople, our president has found no time to address this situation. He can do better. Some may argue that we must supjpjort the current gov emment against attacks from the leftist rebels. Certainly, I don't want the rebels to gain control of that country either. They are pjrobably no better than the current gov­ ernment and are guilty of just as many atrocities. But at least the American taxpayer isn'tsubsidizing their activi­ ties with over $500 million a year in aid. While members of the church (both American and Salvadoran), as well as every other human rights organization in the world, have condemned the Salvadoran regime, our own government has sat passively by, continuing the massive aid to this government. Also, the U.S. is earning a bad reputation by allying itself with these people. While the Soviet Union is allowing its neighbors the opportunity to shapje their own future, we are supjpjressing that sentiment in our own hemisphere. The American people are getting no leadership from their president on this issue. As more repjorts come from different sources telling of the atrocities to the El Salva- The U.S. government should demand that the Cristiani government clean up its act or face the pjossible loss of American aid. We should call for free and honest elec­ tions in which the pjeople can decide who they want to lead them. As long as the Cristiani government continues its reign of terror in El Salvador without fear of losing U.S. supjpjort, the United States will lose credibility as a spokesman for human rights around the world. . When disdaining the principles of our neighbors We should reflect on our past practices By RICHARD TRAUX Appalachian Columnist Apartheid! This word makes one think of thft atrocities of a white minority group ruling a large black majority. In today's age of mass communication, millions of Americans know the problems of South Africa and its system of apart­ heid. We see pictures of the brutal beat­ ings andrepression, and we hear about the denial of basic human rights and liberties and how this situation has pjersistcd year after year with little pjrogress. We also hear the reaction of the "civi­ lized nations"to the latest developrnent or atrocity and the steps, or lack there of, that are taken to help bring about a pjeaceful solution. The ruling whites are not only a minor­ ity, but one which moved in and stole the land from the native blacks. They used brute force to take away what was once land used for farming, hunting and living by black Africans for thousands of years. They moved the blacks into "townships" where theycan be watched andcontrolled. It's all worked out great for the whites. They have large houses, plenty to eat and comfortable lifestyles, but for the blacks, it's been a shambles. Apartheid is in direct contrast with the United States and its Constitution. Ameri­ cans are outraged at the atrocities taking place in this far away nation. Demonstra­ tions are held in such hot spjots as New York, Washington, San Francisco and By GARY LARSON college campuses across the nation. We want to see a wrong righted. Unfortunately, the scenes from South Africa make very few Anreric'ah^'tKink about our own country, the pjrice that Was paid to have all that we have, and the many parallels between South Africa and this Indians and the pjrice they paid to make it all pjossible. Our ancestors came to this land and rapjecLpiU agedand drove the natjv^In^ ans 6fr tne land. The whites continually signed treaties to serve their purpjoses, and then, when the treaties were no longer useful, broke them. Slowly, the Indians Apartheid is in direct contrast with the United States and its Constitution. Americans are outraged at the atrocities taking place in this far away nation. Demonstrations are held in such hot spots as New York, Washington, San Francisco and college cam­ puses across the nation. We want to see a wrong righted. "land of the free." There, it's the native blacks against Europjean settlers: here, it's a case of native American Indians against European settlers. We sit and watch our big TVs, drive around on our nice high­ ways, dine in our fine restaurants, play golf on our manicured courses, hike in our vast parks and forests and build our huge homes. Yet, we rarely think about the were pushed west, from the best land to the worst. In the process, they were killed and cheated of everything they had, mostof all their dignity. In the end, to ensure pjropjer control, we boxed up what was left of them and put them in reservations on unpjroductive land.There, thousands more starved to death, and thousands of others became alcoholics. They became a race without a cause, a home or any sort of pride or dignity. All of these were stolen by the "whites." Unlike South Africa, where the blacks have the opjpjortunity to regain much of what was taken from them, here in the states, we can't change what's already passed. It's not realistic to think we can erase all that has hapjpjened. However, we can help the Indians gain the respiect and dignity they deserve and stop the continu­ ing repression. One step forward would be the im­ provement of education. Americans need to know about the Indian nations and their colorful history and culture, not just the image of old western films or the way our history books now depict them. Without ^knowled^e: of who the Indians are and tfle understanding of their heritage and history, there is little chance Americans will ever come to respject them. A walk into the rotunda of our Capitol building in Washington, DC, along with a look at the huge life-size paintings that fill the room, shows how America views the Indians today. Life-size paintings of our founding fathers and settlers fill the room. All portray greatness and the almost supjerhuman qualities that built this nation. In this huge room there are only two pictures of Indians. One is of Pocahontas being Christianized, and the other is of an Indian scalping a white man. This is hardly the way we should re­ member these great pjeople. This has been passed down through white generations. Today's reservations are a constant re­ minder of thecontinuing repression. Little has changed over the years. American Indians are still second-class citizens in this "land of the free." The only way this piercepjtioncan change is with time and education. We must change the way American history is taught to our children. School books and courses must be changed to teach about the Indi­ ans' history and culture, about the Indians before the white settlers arrived, and also what hapjpjened when they did arrive. Most impjortantly, we must teach where Indians stand today, the problems they face, and pjossible ways to help them re­ gain some of what has been taken from them. — We were able to change the way we looked at the Vietnam War, to look at it openly and critically and to honor those we sent to fight in it. We can do it also in respject to the Indians. All it will take is the desire on our part. In time, the American Indians can gain back some of the pjride and respject they once commanded. With that respect, they can stop being second-class citizens and fully enjoy the freedoms of this land. Why do victims have no recourse? "So, Professor Jenkins!... My old nemesis!... We meet again, but this time the advantage is mine! Ha! Ha! Ha!" To the Editor: The ASU students rallied to the occa­ sion with their help in the letter writing and pjetition against Jon Eric Clemmer's parole. You are to be commended. My thanks to each of you for the time and effort you have given to this cause. Mr. Clemmer will be considered for parole again in November, 1990, and regardless of what we do, he will be pjaroled in 1993. Many of you learned forthe first time of the Fair Sentencing Law and how unfair it is to victims. We, as North Carolina citi­ zens, now have to work together to pass a constitutional amendment for Victims Rights. Victims do not have legal rights! As I continue to pursue this matter, I ask for your help and your pjrayers. Wishing you a wonderful holiday and best wishes for your hapjpiness in the New Year. My love and thanks, Shirley L.

Council supports crosswalk proposals By ANDY SWOFFORD Appalachian StafT Writer The Boone Town Council unanimously voted tosupport four SGA proposals which would place new crosswalks at points of heavy pedestrianand vehicle traffic around campus. SGA President Brad Edwards, Off-Campus Affairs Director Steve Yost and Senator Steven Schmotzer presented the proposals at the Thursday council meeting. The proposals call for crosswalks to be place in four specific areas on campus which, according to Edwards, have a his­ tory of problems for pedestrian traffic.

Arts Council to Host a Lecture on History of Christmas Tree According the Mclntire, final exams will not start until Dec. 14, the week following the ceremony. Mclntire said if the university did check grades before the In recent years, the university has had only one commencement ceremony which was held in May. According to SGA Academic Affairs Chairperson Kristi Burgess, the bill to reinstate December graduation was passed by the administra­ tion in September after being recom­ mended by the SGA Senate. Burgess said prior to the decision, ASU's graduation policy required graduates who wished to "walk" in the ceremony to return to the university in May after receiving their diplomas by mail. I p.m. !!ec°rd Tuesday December 5,1989 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Assistant News Editor The Board of Trustees voted to increase student fees by $225 for the 1990-91 academic year. The Board's vote included a $20 increase in parking fee instead of the initial proposal suggesting a $40 increase which the Student Senate voted down several weeks ago. Other fee increases include: $30 for the student union expan­ sion; $80 for physical education, recrea­ tion, and athletic facilities; $5 for Student Facilities; $9 for a residence hall room with a telephone; and $50 for residence hall board. The $20 parking fee increase may be adjusted later when the estimates on the parking deck feasibility study be­ come finalized. SGA President Brad Edwards said, "I can't say it's a complete victory. Our goal was to completely abol- telephone systems and looking into addi­ tional campus lighting. Thomas said the educational programs provided by the counseling center are probably the most helpful for students: "The violation of women's vulnerability is of great concern and has to do with male attitudes (toward women) and a combina­ tion of attitudes. These attitudes can be changed. The university will continue to bring updates on the situation before the Board (of Trustees)." Thomas also an­ nounced the retirement of Vice Chancel­ lor for Business Affairs NedTrivette who will leave his position on July 31.Trivette willYtay on as a part timeconsultant to the university. Safety issues were also discussed at the meeting. Counseling Center Director Don Sanz discussed the major efforts the cen­ ter is focusing on. According to Sanz, the center offers workshops dealing with sexual assault prevention, violence against women and acquaintance rape. University Attorney Dayton Cole dis­ cussed ways to enhance campus safety. Cole stated the problem was not isolated to campus or the Boone area. Chancellor John Thomas said that after the tragic death of Jeni Gray, the univer­ sity began undertaking measures for campus community safety. He said the university has implemented programs such as expanding the blue light The second proposal calls for cross­ walks to be placed at the intersections of King Street, Hardin Street and Highway 421 and would include the usual walk/ don't walks signs which appear at other city intersections. According to Yost, this crosswalks will serve as a safe place for students walking from Kingswood and other apartments as well as for all citizens of Boone. He added there is not another safe place to cross 421 for several blocks in this high traffic area. Another proposal is to place a cross­ walk across Highway 321,(Blowing Rock Road) between Hoey Residence and the Red Onion Cafe. Schmotzer said this is a dure the SGA has chosen to oblam 'he crosswalks. Edwards explained that the ideaori nated at SGA and was presented lo the ASU Administration for support. SGA appeared before the council to solicit • »• support of the town before taking 'h proposal to the Department of Trans^ir , tion in Wilkesboro. Marsh also made the suggestion overpasses for thecrossing of RivetsSin-, and Blowing Rock Road. Marsh said sti dents deserve the building of ovetpas ;c and that they would be the safest soluti.» Edwards said when the idea was urtgi nated, they had considered overpasses a possible solution, but added, "We ai entering the Year of the Environment r ASU and are concerned about both environment and the beautificalion of campus." He said considering the factor: as well as safety, the crosswalks are t.1 : best solution. Councilman Smith moved t< supp the SGA crosswalk proposals, the motion "We are entering the Year of the Environment at ASU and are concerned about both the environment and the beautification of campus." Brad Edwards SGA president "This is a true Appalachian man who's devoted 34 years of his life to this institu- "I can't say it's a complete victory. Our goal was to completely abolish the $40 increase, but the members of the board were more capable of accept­ ing the $20 increase." Brad Edwards SGA president ish the $40 increase, but the members of the board were more capable of accepting the $20 increase. "We feel there were still other opportu­ nities to handle the $40 increase," he said. "I feel the separatecommittees we formed showed the facility a clearer picture of the parking situation." The first proposals is for a crosswalk, with the appropriate warning lights, to be place across Rivers Street at the Hill Street intersection, nearOutdoor Programs. Yost said this crosswalk will serve the students walking from Mountaineer, App South and other apartmentcomplexes which are on.that side of Rivers Street. tion," Thomas said. "He has served with dedication, and his mountaineer reason­ ing, steadfast ethic and practical insight have been invaluable tools for him as he has guided the physical growth of this campus. All you have todo tosee his work is walk across the campus." Trivette, 56, joined ASU in 1956 as an assistant in the business office. In 1965 he was named director of Business Affairs, a title which was soon changed to vice presi­ dent and then vice chancellor. In other business, the board members voted unani­ mously to name the new activity center after current trustee Seby Jones. Jones is chairman emeritus of Davidson and Jones, A Raleigh-based construction and development firm. Jones said: "This is great honor. When I think back and see the many people who have made contribu­ tions to the university, I almost feel like it should go to someone else. If I had to pick a building to have my name on it, it would be this one." frequent crossing area for students who live in Plymouth Trace and the houses in that area. He said this crosswalk, again with the appropriate warning lights, will give students a target to cross the heavily traveled road. The final proposal is to place a cross­ walk across College Street, located just outside Whitener Hall. Schmotzer said this crosswalk will serve the heavy pedes­ trian traffic between Whitener and the post office. He also mentioned several near misses he has heard about and expe­ rienced at this crosspoint. In the discussion which followed the presentation. Councilman James Marsh expressed someconcerns about the proce- was seconded and passed with a 5-0 vote. Mayor Larry Keeter congratulated SGA on what he termed "a job well done.

I Center offers aid to those in need By SAM POLEY Appalachian Staff Wrlttr When a man rapes a woman, it is a vio­ lation of not only her body, but also her emotions. Rape leaves women perma­ nently scarred. There is no way around that, but there are ways to cope with the fear and the emotions accompanying rape. The Counseling and Psychological Serv­ ices Center is heavily involved with coun­ seling rape victims, and they are devoting equal energies to the prevention of rapes through education. Dr. Donald Sanz, the director of the center, has been here for three years and is very concerned about the problem of rape. The national averages show that 20 to 25 percent of the women on college cam­ puses will be rape victims. Sanz said that Not many people think of Christmas these numbersrepresent "completed rapes, 11 holiday to praise heroes. Though I which include stranger rape and acquain­ ^ 4th of July salutes our founding tance rape." j^rs who heroically stood up to The center has two ways of dealing jritish tyranny, and Veterans and with rape.

I'm pregnant." men might be able to get the slightest idea "You're WHAT?" of how threatening rape is for a women, "Pregnant." Sanz said men should try to imagine a "Oh, yeah. Who's the father?" "God." "Oh, that's a good one, Mary, fou're probably going to tell me an gel came down here and told you id wanted you to have his child." 'An angel did come. His name is brie! and he said I'd carry the Mes- Xmas has heroes too situation where they have been bullied and intimidated and had no control. That might begin to give them an idea of what it is like for a woman to be assaulted. When asked about the success of the treatment of victims, Sanz said: "We don't know what success is, people are perma­ nently scarred. We try to help people get back to their lives, but there is always some scarring that never goes away." The prevention aspect of the center's work is quite impressive. The center has formed a group called Preventing Sexual Assault. It is a group of 25 members and is composed of people from the Counseling Center, residence life, students, faculty and staff. PSA has been extremely active this semester, speaking to an estimated 1,000 students in groups ranging from residents to athletes. And they have had very posi­ tive responses from the groups to which they spoke. PSA was even invited by the athletic department to come in and do a series of programs for all scholarship athletes. Sanz saw the athletes as genu­ inely concerned with the problem of rape, and is very pleased to see that they are interested in being informed. Debbie Kelly, astaff person at thecenter, is also a member of the PSA. She joined the group for two reasons. She said there is a real need for education about the issue of rape on campus, and she said, "At the center, we deal with reaction (to rape), so it's nice to deal with prevention." The group has had many programs this semester dealing with the way women should conduct themselves so as not to become victims of rape. They will have one more program this semester. It is tonight from 6 to 7 p.m. in Our House in the Student Union. It is titled "A Joint Look—Rape Prevention For Men And Women." and they will explore why rape occurs, examine some of the myths and facts about rape, and look at what students can do about it. Good prevention starts with people understanding there are certain number of social attitudes among both men and women that lead to rape. According to Sanz, theseattitudes underlie women being treated in a violent way. PSA tries to help women avoid rape by teaching them how not to get into vulnerable situations, and the group tries to get men to examine their attitudes toward women. Sanz said, "Rape is a man's problem, but women are the victims."

See the related articles about the Counseling Center on this page. "Anna," 21, had the tragedy of experi­ encing a rape by an acquaintance. More people know this act as "date rape." The setting was a typical day in a resi­ dence hall. Anna, fully clothed, rested on her bed while her roommate studied for a test. The door opened and a mutual male friend of the two walked into the room. All three of the room occupants talked for a few minutes, and later, Anna's room­ mate left the room to continue studying in vietini lives pain and fear after attack in a quieter atmosphere. Minutes after the practice called a "rape kit," standard for roommate departed, Anna was suddenly all rape victims. Her clothes were taken attacked and raped. Her screams were off and placed on a sheet, with the excep­ heard in the rooms next door, yet they tion of her underwear. Then her tempera­ went unnoticed because the neighbors ture and blood pressure were taken and believed it was perhaps something more recorded. Doctors combed her pubic hairs, like a "tickle war" than a rape. pulling 50out to be tested. Scalp, hair and After the attacker left the room, the roommate returned, only to be told by Anna what justhappened. The victim was then immediately sent to the infirmary, which in turn notified ASU Security of the incident. A security officer performed standard procedure by asking Anna vari­ ous detailed questions about the attack, in­ cluding the name of the rapist, since he was aknown acquaintance. She refused to give his name. Anna was immediately taken to blood samples were also taken, followed Watauga Hospital, where the doctors by a full pelvicexamination.

There are many people which Anna hopes to thank as she still lives with her ordeal. These people include her room­ mate, the doctors and nurses at Watauga Hospital and ASU Security. The Counsel­ ing Center is also thanked for their posi­ tive reassurance. Watauga Hospital recommends that if any women on campus are raped, they should follow some simple steps, includ­ ing not changing or cleaning clothing. ASU Security commented there have They shouldn't shower or bathe, and they been only two other rape cases reported to shouldn't take any medication between them this year, but if an attack did happen, the time of the attack and the medical ex­ a "date rape" would most likely go by amination.

We've got a bunch of young kids finding out what life is like on the road." Bob Reinhart Georgia State Coach The Mountaineers led by 16 at halftime thanks to tough defensive play that forced Georgia State to turn the ball over 14 limes in the first half. The Panthers never got close in the second half, as the Mountain­ eers took control of the game and held Georgia State to a 32 percent shooting Smart, two; Joe Saba to, three; Ed Ward, six; Pat Lyons, eight; Tim Powers, four; and Jimmy Stewart, four. The Mountaineersdrew first blood, with Miller hitting a foul shot and Phillips nailing a three pointer. After trading bas­ kets for a few possessions, the Mountain­ eers scored 10 unanswered points that widened the lead to 13. The App's opened the second half with a 16-2 scoring run that saw Gibson score six points including acrowd pleasingdunk. The Mountaineers never looked back on their way to the 41-point victory. Mountaineer Head Coach Tom Apke saidhe was happy about his team'soverall performance. "I was pleased with our defense and with our aggressiveness on the boards, which led to some easy bas­ kets. I thought we could have been more patient on offense, but overall this was a good win for us," Apke said. Behind Gibson, with his team high 18 points, were freshman Billy Ross with 15, Parker with 13, junior Rodney Peel with 13, and sophomore Steve Spurlock with Coach Bob Reinhart of Georgia State put it more bluntly stating,: "It was just a good old-fashioned butt-kickin*. We've got a bunch of young kids finding out what life is like on the road." Reinhart sited too many mistakes and a lack of experience for his team's loss. The game was one of the worst losses in his career. The bright spot for the Panthers was probably its youth, with freshman Matt O'Brian lead­ ing the way with 22 points. The Varsity Gym was packed with 3,712 fans who yelled, screamed, and chanted their sup­ port throughout the game.

Analyzing the trustees Student Government won a Pyrrhic victory at last Friday's Board of Trustees meeting by reducing next year's parking fee increase from $40 to $20. Although SG A voted down the increase in theirmeeting in late November, the trustees characteristically overturned their decision. However, SGA President Brad Edwards, realizing an increase was imminent, offered an acceptable compromise to the trustees' Business Affairs subcommittee. This means after a feasibility study is completed on the proposed parking deck, the fees may be adjusted upward. While this is not ideal, students can thank SGA when they only have to pay $70 next year for a parking sticker instead of $90. However, the Board of Trustees forced the student voice tobend to its own wishes. This is a group of people who usually seem anxious tosolicit student opinion and input only until it differs from their own. While Edwards certainly accomplished quite a feat in even getting the board to listen at all, he, as well as his student constituency, was forced to take a very unwelcome $20 increase. IB Many students wonder why the cost of parking goes up as the number of parking places goes down. If the last increase of $30 is any indication of how parking fees and available spaces are related, next year's parking situation will be intolerable. The most surprising announcement at rfae Board of Trustees' meeting was the retirement of Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette, who is only 56. What is perhaps more suprising is that he will remain employed by ASU as a part-time consultant with a modest salary of $18,000. Is the university going to offer such attractive benefits to all its retiring employees? With this announcement, ASU will have lost its third vice chancellor in a six-month period. Considering there are only four such positions, it is tempting to ask what is happening in the upper ranks of the university's administration. Do you want to shed some light on this, Chancellor Thomas? The main focus of Friday's meeting was the problem of sexual assault in our society. Dr. Don Sanz, ASU Counseling Center director, spoke of ASU's prevention efforts, and University Attorney Dayton Cole gave a legal perspective while plugging ASU Security. Chancellor Thomas gave a pledge that henceforth, the trustees will receive a safety update explaining what the university is doing to make our campus safer. Let's hope Thomas follows through on his promise. Too often it seems that real safety measures are pushed aside in favor of safe ASU rhetoric. It is to be hoped that Thomas has some real safety accomplishments to report to the trustees. The soon to be built Student Activities Center will be named after a current university trustee, Seby Jones. Jones has worked extensively with the Business Affairs subcommittee and on this project. Surprisingly, the chancellor has decided to let the Board of Trustees vote on which buildings get named after whom. This is probably a smart move on the chancellor's part, so that he cannot be accused of favoritism among trustee members. However, this will probably eliminate the possibility of any buildings being named after non-trustee members. As usual, the Board of Trustees has handed down several decisions which most students will find frustrating. One day, perhaps the board will realize ASU is comprised of 11,000 people other than themselves, and they should listen to what these people say. THE FAR SIDE When is the Tar Heel state going to join the rest of the country in the latest creative and popular means of revenue enhancement? I'm referring to the state lottery, of course. While state after state around the nation adopts its own version of a lottery, thecitizens of North Carolina get left out. The option now is to spend our money in another state and see the revenue go to help their schools and highways or spend our dollars on something else. Our state is getting left behind. Some of our state legislators are pushing to get the ball rolling for a lottery, but efforts, so far, have proven fruitless. Despite the fact that polls have consistently shown support for a lottery in our state, the cries of a few right-wing fundamentalists have stopped the idea cold on several occassions. How long are we going to let a minority rule over the wishes of a majority? There is every reason in the world for North Carolina to have a state lottery despite the objections of a few. The number one reason is obvious-money. A state lottery would generate millions of extra dollars that people would voluntarily pay buying lottery tickets. It should come as a surprise to no one that the state is in desperate need of financial resources these days. Our schools are currently ranked last in SAT scores nationally, and Governor Martin has just unveiled a $9 billion highway package. We, the tax payers, are gong to pay for this one way or another. Wouldn't you at least like to have a chance at getting something in return for your money? The state lottery is a perfect answer for everyone. The politicians could avoid the unpopular position of calling for a tax increase, and the public will get the lottery and a chance at winning. will be different here. Opponents also are inclined to oppose the lottery for moral and religious reasons. My response is that in America we should have freedom of choice. If you don t believe in the lottery, then you don't have to play. Also, please do your fellow citizens the courtesy of allowing them to make the decision for themselves. large will benefit from the revenue pumped into government's spending fund. More money can h!'5'*' without the taxpayers being forced to "cough it < if we hurry, we can still gain revenue from people ^ ^1 states who want to play the lottery but don't haT^ e^ advantage at home. The state lottery's time has come. In times of f need and public interest, there could be no better1^011' tion than permitting a lottery or at least calling11 referendum where the people could decide. I am dent it would pass. We must have confidence that The option now is to spend our money in another state and see the revenue go to help their schools and highways or spend our dollars on something else. To say that there will be an increase in addiction to gambling should not be an excuse not to have a lottery in this state. After all, gambling has not been proven to be nearly as addictive as cigarette smoking—which kills hundreds of thousands of Americans every year. But don't look for any legislation to ban cigarette smoking in this state any time soon. It generates too much revenue. No one doubts that there will be many people who spend their money foolishly on lottery tickets under the expectation of winning when chances are very slim. But let's be realistic. Americans spend their money foolishly anyway; this will be nothing new. At least now the individuals will have some chance at getting something back for their "investments." Furthermore, the public at citizens of North Carolina are mature and responsib; enough to make this decision and live with the cons quences. I'm not saying that anything that general! money is acceptable regardless of moral standards but really don't see anything wrong with the lottery. AfK all, many groups in our state have been doing it for year If you have ever bought a raffle ticket, you have suj ported the institution. If Boy Scouts, elementary school community groups and even churches can do it, wh can't the state? When these groups raffle off television stereos and other items to raise money what are the doing if not having a lottery? The bottom line is that someday we will have a loiter in this state. How long are we going to stall progress ft the sake of security against unfounded fears? If self-appeasement is our only concern The bus to understanding may pass us h At what cost do we bypass security? To the Editor: "I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert.... Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown. And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command. Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that collossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away." -Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Ozymandias' By GARY LARSON To those who think the lottery will not be successful in generating revenue, let me point out that numerous other states have been doing this for years and are perfectly satisfied with the results. There is no reason to think it because administration has less to spend on security? Where is the concern for the students thrown into the fiery^jumace of victimization because of this golden image? Concern has been expressed that the proposed science building has been bumped down on the list of priorities. Where is the concern for the fact that neither science nor technology nor business can survive in a society that regards the individual's life, liberty, property and happiness as disposable? Still another concern prompted building the pizzeria and the new student union: keeping students from burning calories. Where is the concern for keeping students from being robbed, raped or murdered? Like Samuel Taylor Coleridge's Kubla Khan," the ASU administration "did...a stately pleasure dome decree" the Appaldome. Where is the concern for the "ceaseless turmoil seething" or the "voices prophesyng war!" on this campus? Marji Ackerman has expressed the concern that "the university has raped that Land" around the duck pond, has "destroyed hundreds of years of tree growth, and taken away one of the few beautiful areas of campus." Where is the concern for the rape and destruction of human beings, the very ones who endow beauty and meaning to the world? Bob Snead is concerned that the Jeni Gray scholarship go to "someone who has the values, personality, and lovable traits Jeni had." Where is the concern for protecting the lives of those who have the "values, personality, and lovable traits Jeni had?" Where is the concern for assuring that no more Jeni Grays have to be raped and murdered in order to get their names pinned on a scholarship? If the Jeni Gray scholarship doesn't keep her fate from befalling others, it will be nothing more than a vain piece of salvage blood money designed to appease us and make us forget Where is the concern for this fact? Novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand once pointed out that "All public projects are mausoleums, not always in shape, but always in cost" As with Ozymandias, the public projects we undertake may well be our mausoleum. Let's not let it be this way. From the "works" the ASU admini­ stration has "stamped upon lifeless things," and from the way we've responded to these works, we indeed have reason to "look on...and despair." We have reason to despair because the ASU administration and the rest of us have learned nothing, either from the lesson of Ozymandias, or from this community's tragic events. As the front page of the Nov. 21 edition of "The Appalachian" points out, the ASU administration has been juggling quite a few projects. On top of creating a rightfully praised scholarship in memory of Jeni Gray, the administra­ tion has created a 25-year plan for Sincerely Yours, building assorted campus pyramids. Much like Ozymandias building his A1 Human pyramids, the administration has done this for the sake of gaining prestige in the eyes of future freshmen generations. But in the midst of all this, the admini­ stration and all of us have failed to plan for the most timeless concern facing any society: concern for irTeplacable, individual human lives. Concern has been expressed that people in the new business building will To the Editor: either swelter or freeze because the windows can't be opened. I am writing to clarity the capabilities Where is the concern for the students of AppalCART in meeting future crushed under this pyramid's weight transportation needs. The Nov. 16, 1989 AppalCART is as good as its riders "Appalachian" article "Fee Increase Debated" by Jenelle Autry had a quotation attributerd to Steve Yost which is misleading as far as what AppalCART could do to meet future needs. Mr. Yost is quoted as saying, "The alternative of additional Appal CART routes is not feasible....because the AppalCART system currently has no comprehensive plan developed to become such a central part of campus, it would take from five to ten years for it to become an alternative." While it is true AppalCART, as a Section 18 project (non-urban part of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration formula grant program), must have a four year transportation development plan (TDP) in order to receive state and federal funding, local projects with local funding can be implemented much more quickly. Two years ago, when the university expressed an interest in having satellite parking with parking shuttles to serve the losts, AppalCART was able to plan the shuttles and implement them within six months. This was possible because AppalCART had the vehicles to do the job within its existing fleet, and the university was willing to pay the cost of operating the routes. The Gold Route, State Farm shuttles for the Stadium and Legends area, and the Broyhill Shuttle, which operates on Sundays when the Gold route does not, were all begun with very little start-up time. If more service is needed than can be done with the existing fleet size, it does require more time to amend the transportation development plan and secure state and federal funding. Since the formula in this grant program calls for 10/10/80 matching of local, state and federal monies for capital purchases, it would be best to try and get any future capital needs included in the next transportation development plan which will cover the period 1991 to 1995. The steering committee,which will guide development of this plan, will probably be appointed in the spring of 1990. The reason for trying to obtain capital through the grant process is simple to minimize local costs. If an entity within the local sector, i.e. ASU, Boone, or Watauga County wanted to increase service to include local procurement of vehicles, then the process can be shortened considerably. If, for example, the students and administration at ASU determined it was in their best interest to secure four new 30- foot transit buses with doors at front and rear and wheel chair lifts, they could be obtained for about $130,000 each with a life expectancy of ten' years. It takes about a year to secure buses once the order is made. This would be about a 50 percent increase over the fixed route capacity AppalCART now has. I do think that a study should be made of the future level of service ASU will require, and the choice of who is gomg to park where will certainly affect the outcome. I have been working with the OffCampus Affairs Committee of the Student Government Association to try to more closely monitor AppalCART service to the University and future needs. I think it would be a good idea expand the committee to include oncampus students, and possibly staff at faculty, since they can also ride by showing their I.D. cards. In fact, a subset of such a committee could sen on the steering committee guiding the next transportation development plan, think the Off-Campus Affairs commit tee should be commended for the wor they have done in studying ways to make walking and bus riding safer on campus. AppalCART wants to expand to me the transportation needs of ASU, and can do so to the extent the university and town are willing to pay for such expansion. Sincei Christopher D.

We went in because of lack of initiative by the group," replied new CAO Vice President Gidget Wilson. "We'd thought about it, we were organized, and we had reasons for what we did." New CAO President DaveRose said it was "not a communist takeover. Everything was done democratically. The former officers are sore losers." At that time, College Republican National Committee headquarters in Washing­ ton, D.C. sent a memo to its campus chapters recommending ways to wreck rival "leftist" student groups like PIRG. At Minnesota, College Republicanmembers attended a PIRG meeting in full force, outvoting unsuspecting previous members and eventually gaining control of the board. The newcomers voted to refuse to accept more funding. College Republicans have publicly stated that the CAO is against everything they believe, so why would they want to run it?" he said. Campus College Republican President Wes Ward did not return repeated phone calls, but Rose denied any connection between the takeover and the chapter."I'm not iCollege Republicah," Rose said. Student GovernmentPresident Jim Humphries dismissed Rose'sdenial. "Because (the takeover) was motivated by College Republicans—even if all the members weren't College Republicans—it still reflects on them, so they are responsible."

ASU Receives Broadcasting Grant SGA Senate members debated two is­ sues at length before accepting anew club constitution and defeating a bill which would recommend freshmen be fined $25 on their first parking offense rather than having their vehicles towed. In the first debate of the night, senators accepted—with some objections—the club constitution for Eckankar, an organi­ zation based on the beliefs and practices of members of the Eckist religion. ASU student Will Harmon presented the Eckankar constitution to the senate and fielded questions from the floor. Ac­ cording to Harmon, Eckankar is a world­ wide spiritual organization compared with the Eastern mystical religions, including Zen Buddhism. According to the Eckankar club constitution, the organization has char­ tered affiliates in all countries. In North Carolina the affiliate is the NorthCarolina Satsang Society, with which the campus organization will work closely. Accord­ ing to Harmon, there are approximately 20,000 Eckists worldwide. Harmon, who said he has been an Eck­ ist for 15 years, said the purpose of the club would be self-realization and "Godrealization," and would also provide a way for interested students to participate in Eckankar classes, workshops and ac­ tivities. According to Harmon, six ASU stu­ dents and three Boone area residents cur­ rently attend the bi-monthly meetings. He said in order for people to become full members, they must attend meetings and classes for one year, after which they may be initiated into the organization and the faith. Harmon said the reason for the oneyear waiting period is to allow interested people a chance to makesure "this is what they really want." In response to a question raised con­ cerning whether or not Eckankar is a cult, Harmon quoted definition of the word "cult" from a dictionary and said, "If it The A.J.

Harmon added that all religious beliefs, by defini­ tion, were devoted to an idea, not just Eckism. It had been pointed out earlier that the Eckist religion was founded by Paul Twitchel, who called the organiza­ tion a cult According to Harmon, Eckism is a monotheistic religion which is centered around an energy force called God, which is neither male nor female, but rather an "it." He said the religion does not include the belief in Satan, but rather the belief that there is a positive force and a negative force which counteract each other to "balance things out." Harmon said meetings conducted on campus would center on educating those in attendance on the different topics re­ lated to the religion, such as dreams, self realization, soul travel and reincarnation. He also said those interested in becoming DEBATABLE ISSUES: SGA Senators voted Tuesday night to reject a motion which would have recommended freshmen be fined $25 for their first parking violation rather that having their vehicles towed. Also debated at the meeting was a motion to members would, over the course of one year, keep a journal of dreams for discus­ sion at meetings. According to SGA Vice President Pat­ rick Wooten, the constitution will be for­ warded to Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr.David Mclntire for final approval, and he added that allowing the group access to campus buildings for meeting purposes would not constitute a violation of the Fust Amendment.

Convicted killer's parole denied by state By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor From the National Weather Service... Thursday, November 30, 1989 Convicted killer Jon Eric Clemmer has been denied parole. According to North Carolina Parole Commission Chairman Louis Colombo, Clemmer's parole was denied by the commission last week. Colombo would not release the exact date of the decision. Clemmer was convicted of second degree murder in the 1987 shooting death of ASU student Jabe Hardee and sen­ tenced to 15 years in prison. ASU compared Colombo said the five members of the commission carefully reviewed Clemmer's case before making their deci­ sion. "The bottom line is that we made a determination that he not be released at this time," Colombo said. Colombo did not comment on whether or not the commission's decision was influenced by state-wide efforts of con­ cerned citizens headed by Shirley Hardee, mother of the victim. involved and treat each case as a separate issue." According to Colombo, the five mem­ bers of the commission are required to jointly decide on parole for a prisoner when that prisoner has been given a life sentence. "In this case," he said, "only two were required to review the case be­ fore making the decision whether or not to approve his parole. All five of us reviewed this case." According to Colombo the five commission members may choose to review acasenotinvolvingalifesentence if they wish. Colombo said, "It is (the parole commission's) policy not to divulge in­ formation regarding the reasons for our decisions, in any case."

These statistics are considered important factors in ASU's recent favorable rank­ ings by "U.S. News and World Report." "U.S. News and World Report" ranked ASU as the 13th most selective regional college or university in the South. ASU's selectivity rate, in terms of applicants offered admission, was 48 percent, well belowtherateof76 percent five years ago and thel988 UNCSystemaverageof58.5 percent. Only UNC, at 31.4 percent, had a lower selectivity rate. Other influential factors in the rankings were average SAT scores of entering fresh­ men and the percentage of freshmen who were in the top fifth of their high school class. The average SAT score for ASU's 1988 freshman class was954. ASU ranked third behind UNC and North Carolina State University where SAT averages were 1101 and 1052, respectively. ASU's average SATs have increased by 65 points over the past five years and a 10-15 point increase is expected for the 1989 freshman class. ASU, at 52 percent, had the third high­ est percentage in the UNC system of fresh­ men who were in the top fifth of their Turn the page ... The report showed that ASU finished third in the number of SATsreceived from prospective freshmen. UNC and NCSU were ASU's chief competitors for stu­ dents. In 1988 ASU received 33.5 percent of all scores sent to UNC System institu­ tions. UNC and NCSU received 40.2 per­ cent and 38.3 percent respectively. UNC and NCSU are also theschools with whom ASU shared the largest number of SAT score senders, at 36 percent each.

X, �2 The Appalachian, Thursday, November 30,1989 Student sues universities for fixing tuition (CPS)—In response to a federal probe tnto whether some schools have to raise Ibeir tuition rates so fast each year, a Wesleyan University studenthas sued his school and 11 other private colleges, charging they illegally fixed their tuition prices. In response to both the probe and the suit, "higher education institutions are running scared at this point," former Presi­ dent of Kalamazoo College in Michigan David Breneman said. Student Roger Kingsepp claims the schools "engaged in a conspiracy to fix or artificially inflate the price of tuition and financial aid.' Under federal anti-pricefixing laws, he is asking for triple dam­ ages on behalf of the 125,000 students allegedly harmed by the increase. I don t think it's fair to students who economically might not be able to take advantage of certain schools to be forced out of the market," Kingsepp said. The suit apparently is based on a confi­ dential Wesleyan memo, since made public, that indicates administrators knew tuition prices at 11 other schools for the 1988-89 year before the prices were made official. It is illegal for competitors in any busi­ ness to swap price information, or to di­ vide the number of potential customers. Such conspiracies prevent customers— in this case students—from being able to choose among competing products or services, and relieve businesses from having to control their cost, improve their ample supply of dancing partners, so both Lowe, Demi Moore, JimBelushi and Eliza­ programs and keep down theii prices in singles and couples are encouraged to beth Perkins, and starts at 8 p.m. in the I.G. order to be successful.

Hill said the present policy of towing freshman vehicles was implemented two years ago with the creation of the State Farm perimeter holding lot. According to Hill, freshman vehicles are the only ve­ hicles towed, except for vehicles parked in marked areas such as fire lanes and loading zones. He said the passage of the bill would not affect the towing policies for these areas. Following Harmon's presentation, senators debated whether or not to recog­ nize the club based on the vagueness of their constitution. Several senators ar­ gued that the constitution needed revision to clarify some points. After a vote was taken, the motion to approve Eckankar for official recommendation was passed, with some objection.

Senators also voted on a bill which would recommend to the university the placement of ice machines in some resi- • dence halls. According to one of the bill's authors, Kim Enfield, the machines would be coin-operated, dispenser types. Fourpound bags of ice would be bagged by the machine and dispensed to the purchaser. The bill proposes that one machine be placed in each of the four residence hall clusters. Enfield said the estimated cost per machine, excluding installation, is $3,500, which would come from the university food service fund. According to the SGA Rules Committee, a future goal dealing with the ice machines is the possibility of using meal cards to pur­ chase the bags. The bill passed with no objections.

Let's face it folks, ten years is a long time for any of us; those among who actually grew up over the course of this decade—which will soon enter the pages of a cleansed and sanitized history text—will forever look back upon it with decidedly mixed emotions. The 80s did have their good points I think. We were all relatively stable, economically speaking. Those of us who were poor stayed that way. Those of us who were middle class worked a whole lot harder to stay that way. Those of us who were rich became much, much richer generally at the expense of the poor and the middle class. That, over the course of a decade, has become the American way. But why gripe over sociological issues? Our elected officials made us feel great, and that's what really matters. Right? Those of us who are perhaps a little bit older learned to relive the past, thanks to "The Big Chill" and "thirtysomething." Leave it to the prevailing moods of the 80s—greed and false sentimentality—to rip off something that once had meaning, and then sell it back to us. This lead to commercials using Beatles songs, 60-second MTV blurbs about how "Uncle Bob vomited at Woodstock," etc. Of course, those of us who are too young to be nostalgic for anything worth being nostalgic about learned to fake it, thus leading to the inevitable string of Grateful Dead reincarnations. Music and movies became bona fide, mainstream members of the corporate establishment in the 1980s. The most effective way of making a buck in Hollywood was to create a blockbuster (sexy girl, strong stupid guy, fashion­ able handsome guy, Kenny Loggins soundtrack), and then repeat the formula with some numbers after the trie. Cinema has never been so bland, rite and predictable. But, then again, it roade lots and lots of money. The recording industry proved that it rio was corporate, mainstream America abcr all. The catchy spontaneity of The Beatles or The Kinks is long gone, replaced by prefab, overproduced schlock clogging the average commer­ cial radio station today. The reckless, Wplosive energy of The Sex Pistols •"d The Clash was replaced with the Paste-on sneer of Billy Idol. Heavy discovered hair gel and cross essing.

Appalachian's very own department of theatre and dance presented the Bard's "Twelfth Night," a story full of love, deception, and mix-ups. The play begins with Orsino, Count of Ulyria, declaring his love for Countess Olivia, who will have nothing to do with him. A ship-wrecked lass named Viola enters, and the story of her twin's brother's death unfolds. Deciding to disguise her­ self as a young man, Viola becomes Cesario and joins the court of Orsino as a messenger. The play develops into a love triangle. Orsino is in love with Olivia. Olivia is in love with Cesario, who is actually Viola . And Viola is in love with Orsino. Confus­ ing, huh? As it turns out, Sebastian, Viola's twin brotlier, arrives in Illyria. Olivia mistakes Sebastian for Cesario, and they are mar­ ried. When Orsino learns the truth about Cesario, he takes her as his wife. It's an­ other story that ends happily ever after. The play is full of characters; to de­ scribe and comment on all of them would be confusing. However, each attributed to the networking of the production. Kudos should go out to all the cast, especially the principals: faculty members Bill Griffin and Bruce Roberts respectively Orsino and Olivia's boisterous cousin. Sir Toby Belch; Heather Roberts, as Viola/Cesario; Michelle Poole in the role of Olivia; her servants Malvolio and Maria, played by Brian Hervel and Karen Taylor; and Jim Bumgamer, who prodded and sang the plot along as the court jester, Feste. The castof performers portrayed their charac­ ters extremely well, both physically and dramatically. Set in the time of the Italian Renais­ sance, the costumes were brightly col­ ored, flamboyant and fabulous. The time and effort put into the creation of each one was easily apparent. Martha Marking, director of Costume and Make-up design, had her work cut out for her and she came through wonderfully. In my opinoin, theplay'Twelfth Night" was a success. It achieved all that a play should and more. It was quite entertain­ ing. I heard mixed reviews as I left the theater, however, one student thought the dialogue was too hard to understand. If it were not for the language, would it be Shakespeare? I think not Sometimes we must look beyond such potential ob­ stacles to find the overall themc-the point at which the play works best. By observ­ ing the actions and behavior of the actors, this theme can be reached—hopefully without losing all of the beauty of Shakespeare's work.

This holiday season should prove to be the biggest ever, and it will be in large part due to the new Eddie Murphy vehicle "Harlem Nights" and what will probably end up come February as the new king of sequels, Michael J. Fox and Steven Spielberg's "Back To the Future, Part H." So, here's a little blockbuster primer for you. Well, it's finally happened. Eddie Murphy believes that he Is the reincarna­ tion of Elvis. How else to explain a movie as inexcusably bad as "Harlem Nights?" Just like Elvis, he and his entourage of yes-men have finally decided that Eddie's considerable comedic abilities are suit­ able substitutes for everything else about making movies. You know, stuff likeplot, dialogue, flow reality—all that. And since Eddie starred in, produced, directed and wrote "Harlem Nights," there's no one to blame but himself. What we are left with after Murphy's posing and profiling is a series of kind-of- storyline. Characters are brought in and dropped with no background and no fol­ low-through, just to further the shred of a plot, and some truly brilliant comedic talents besides Eddie's are wasted (Arscnio Hall and Redd Foxx, most noticeably). The script revolves around Eddie's character, a streetwise orphan named Quick who is adopted by Sugar Ray (Richard Pryor) and who helps Ray's nightclub achieve incredible success in Harlem. The big crooks want in on the operation, however, and after a few mostly pointless shenanigans. Murphy, Pryor and the doo-wops plan a scam to nab some major cash and relocate. Revolves around is a perfect term, too. Everything happens in orbit around Ed­ die: all thecharacters defer to him, regard­ less of the circumstances; women are stereotypically stupid victims whom Eddie either beats up or goes to bed with, then shoots; his 1938 "posse" play the syco­ phant as well as the 1989 variety; in short, nothing goes wrong for Quick. Plenty is wrong with this movie, though. No characters are adequately developed. nearly every ihmgisiolajly the cast is wasted, the film is far mora violent than it needs to be... sftj j Oh, why bother. The pinheads will go to see it in droves anyway and laugh at the moderately good humor because it's Eddie Murphy and they're conditioned to, and Murphy will rake in the dough. Too bad he's so ego-driven and out of touch with reality, though—at one point he was the best comedian working. Now he'sa cheesy Elvis wanna-be, coming soon to a Krispy Kreme near you. Can't wait 'til he rests loo much on his fading talents, and that fat head topples him. "Back To the Future, Part II" is a bit better, but still flawed. All of the cast returns, naturally including star Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly; some of them play double or triple duty, in roles from the past or future as well as the present. The plot picks back up where the first left off. Marty and girlfriend (Lea Thompson) are flown to the future by the Doc (Christopher Lloyd) to help save their kids from some untold disaster. While they are so occupied, the nefarious Biff reappears, nabbing a sports almanac and Making an Animated Splash Can ft°r a backlash eff' act; things can't get any worse—can ey (hopefully they will improve on ^ local front, at least)? ac'sm and sexism became OK ain in the 80s as well.

Well, the plot gets truly confusing to describe from there (besides, if I tried I'd give away more than I already have), but it's presented well enough thatanyonecan follow it readily. For iqstpnee, script ju$l ends in the middle of a sequence of events that shouls not be an ending. At least the first "Back To the Future" tied up its loose ends be­ fore tying on a new thread. This one is a Gordian knot that just gets slashed off. The amount of time spent in the future is way less than it should have been, especially as compared to the drawn-out All the performers are excellent, par­ ticularly Fox, Lloyd, Thompson and • 50s sequences.

In 1971 Stanley Kubrick released a vivid adaptation of Anthony Burgess' novel" AClockwork Orange." At the time, this merciless vision of a not-too-distant future was too strong for many to stom­ ach; today it is still just as potent. "A Clockwork Orange" functions as a scath­ ing satire on a society and one of its prime misfits, superbly portrayed by Malcolm McDowell. The 11:30 p.m. showing both Fnday and Saturday nights is almost not late enough to show this violent eye on the future. Be there, though, to see this Film at I.G.

Fans of ballet and Shakespeare should come out of the woodwork this Saturday night to I.G. Greer Theatre with A.P.P.S. presenting a free showing of "Romeo and Juliet at 7 pun. and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at 9 pun. "Romeo and Juliet" is performed by the British Royal Ballet and is a must-see for anyone inter­ ested in dance. It is a great performance that is hurt by a zoom lens and the lack of immediacy involved in live performances. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a re­ cording of the New York City Ballet's presentation of Shakespeare's comedy. A very good artistic performance with some attempts at being cinematic, it is quite en­ joyable. Saturday you can see some of the finest talent at ASU showcased in the Mountainer Talent Search in Farthing Audito­ rium.

Tailback Ritchie Melchor picked up 35 yards on the first play to get the ball to the 12-yard line. Fullback Kevin Hart ran 8 yards to the 4-yard line. After returning from the final break of the semester, the Thanksgiving holiday, ASU students are settling do to the final three weeks of the fall semester of 1989. Or are they? With the closing weeks of the grading period upon them, students should be spending endless hours studying, reading, writing, and making all the final preparations to pull out those much anticipated "good" grades. However, with the extra burden of the end of the semester comes extra stress, extra anxiety and all around extri tension. To relieve this built up tension, students don't hit the books harder. They don't read more; they don't study for final exams which are just days away. They participate in sporting activities to relieve this heightened stress. With the weather outside getting colder and students finding the need to stay close to their books and rooms, some of the outdoor sports are brought | indoors. Taking a break from studying, students want to step away from their books for just a few more minutes, not s prolonged period of time. So more and more in-hall games are being developed Students are not just rushing downstairs to the green grounds of the hall ping pong table, they are staying on their floors and playing newly developed games. Stick-ball in the lobby is becoming popular. Several hall members, as many as 10, gather in their floor's lobby for the exhilarating game. The pitcher, usually the plastic ball's owner, unloads a pitch to the batter who is no more than 30 feet away. The batter, of course, attempts to hit the fastball, which is usually high and tight. The other eight players stand around, yelling and screaming as if it were their first littleleague game. The spectators yell out their pitch selection and instruct the batter on what he is doing wrong, for the batter is always doing something wrong. But come on, what do you expect when you are faced with a wild, study-tired student standing 30 feet away and hurling a softball-sized plastic object at you? It's not that easy to get solid wood on it. And there's always one person in the crowd that is the selfproclaimed umpire. He screams balls and strikes, not accommodating an argument from anyone. Then there are the indoor football games, with receivers bobbing and weaving in and out of hall doors. The quarterbacks's target is always narow, just the width of the hallway or perhaps one of the doorways. Of course a real football is not used for safety's sake; however, the game can be played with a Wilson Soft Sport ball or some other smaller football shaped object. This game, as the baseball game, only requires the participation of a few people. However, stationing students at the hall's four corners gets more people involved. Yet to be played are the games of basketball, hockey, racquetball-although pingpong is a scaled down version of both tennis and racquetball-skiing, roller derby and wrestling. Games that are definitely out are auto racing, for it's hard to get the cars into the elevators; horse racing as well as polo, for the halls are too narrow; hunting, for students are not in season; and volley­ ball, for the ceilings are too low. Of course these games are purely imaginary and never played on the fourth floor of Gardner, where I live. The sports infringe on many hall policies and therefore students must resort to going outside or up to the Quinn Center to relieve the built up stress. They are forced, by the rules, to make the trek out into the cold air and work off their anxieties in the frosty atmosphere.

The keys to the drive were two runs of 19 and 15 yards by Campbell. Melchor scored on a 1-yard run, and after the Millson kick ASU led 21-14.

ASU loses to Wolfpack on second game of road trip ' gryyn /SSgjg" "*j Mountaineers roll over East Carolina, 69 5 By PATRICK WOOTEN Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU men'sbasketball team showed different looks on a recent two-game road trip. The team beat East Carolina 69-59 on Saturday in Greenville and lost to North Carolina State 97-67 on Monday in Raleigh. In the ECU game, the team was led by junior guard Rodney Peel who scored 14 points. ASU hit only 43.4 percent of their shots, but ECU connected on a dismal 38.3 percent of theirs. The Mountaineers did connect on 9 of 15 three-point tries. The team was led by Peel whoshot4of 8 from three-point land. ASU, which led 32-25 at halftime, rushed to a 67-44 lead with 6:28 remain­ ing in the second half and from there, cruised to the season opening victory. Freshman Billy Ross and sophomore forward Broderick Parker scored 1Opoints each for ASU. Other scorers for ASU were: Ben Miller,1; Sam Gibson,7; Kemp Phillips, 4; Ed Ward, 8; Pat Lyons, 5; Steve Spurlock, 8; and Tim Powers, 2. ASU travelled to Raleigh on Monday to face NCSU in Reynolds Coliseum, where they were beaten 97-67. ASU was hoping for an upset of state, but they came up short due to poor shooting, foul trouble and turnovers. The Mountaineers hit only 28 of 74 shots for a 37.8 percentage, whereas the Wolfpack connected on 55.5 percent of their shots. ASU was led by Parker who scored 14 points. Personal fouls were troublesome for the Mountaineers who had 27, compared to 15 for the Wolfpack. The fouls led to 34 free throws for NCSU, and they con­ nected on 24of them. ASU attempted only 13 free throws and made eight of them. Miller, one of ASU's starting forwards, fouled out of the game at the 15:30 mark of the second half and Gibson, ASU's starting center, fouled out with 7:32 re­ maining in the second half. TheMountaineers were plagued by turn­ overs throughout the game. ASU commit­ ted 20 turnovers, compared to 17 for NCSU. The turnovers were key in turning the momentum to the Wolfpack's favor.

COMMENTARY Manager !nay be reaChed a'262 2157 i editorial staff may be reached Help make the holiday season better The Christmas season is here, and again it seems that the emphasis is being put on the selfish aspects of the holiday. Why is it that the happiest" time of the year is actually a time of increased suicide, drug use and crime? Experts are saying that while the good is emphasized at Christmas, the bad is emphasized even more. The less fortunate sometimes feel forgotten during this time of year. One way to help others have a better Christmas is by participating in the Angel Tree project sponsored by A.P.P.S. This annual happening gives people the chance to help children receive presents that they would not normally receive. It must be disheartening for parents who can not afford to give presents to iheir children, especially when these same children have to hear all about the great gifts their classmates received. The Santa Claus "myth" does not last long for children who do not receive Christmas presents. A.P.P.S. is not the only organization helping the less fortunate. SGA's Hungerfight II"collects canned foodsand other non-perishable items for the poverty stricken. In addition, numerous organizations, clubs and various fraternities have led successful campaigns to help others. Campaign Director for Alumni Development and United Way volunteer Tom Lawson said many ASU students have helped in this year's Watauga County United Way campaign. He said that S1,800 will be contributed from studentorganizations, with thePhi Mu sorority making the largest singlecontribution. Moreover, Lawson indicated that hundredsof hours of community service have been performed by university students. Itappears that those people who wrongly characterized university students as strictly party oriented should reevaluate their opinions. It is clear that ASU can have a positive influence on a seemingly capitalistic holiday. Regardless of religious beliefs, Christmas should be a time of family, fends and most importantly sharing. Too often, Christmas is reduced to cheap sentamentalism, materialistic overindulgence and gratuitous ritual­ ism. Quote of the week: "... to see what is right and not to do it is cowardice." Confucius (551-479 B.C.) Cliinise sage, philosopher When thinking of Boone's liquor controversy Listen to logic, not emotion It seems that my article supporting liquor-by-thedrink sales has stirred up some controversy in the Boone community. The most visible opposition to my article came in the form of a letter to the editor in the Nov. 14 issue of "The Appalachian." economy with over 12,000 customers who patronize local restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, shops and stores. I'm sure the town of Boone could get by without ASU, but I'm not as optimistic about the survival of the present economy. In this letter Katie S. West claims that I've made "untrue statements that need to be addressed." Instead of addressing ' any of my so-called "untrue state­ ments, Westsimply pitted her opinions againstminein what basically seemed to amount to a personal attack. West took most of my statements out of context and read too much into the main points of the article. I feel that West's letter warrants a response on my behalf to set the record straight. What bothered me most about West's letter was that it was based on the very stereotypes I had protested only a week earlier. West used the usual preconceived no­ tions and stereotypes of college students to defend her point of view. It seems the main reason people are against liquor-by-the-drink sales is that the only result will be an out-of-control drunk student body. West basically protrayed students as irresponsible, selfish, belligerent, not serious about our education and only concerned with paryting and having a good time. Wrong as usual, folks. It looks like, once again, people have let the actions of a few individuals guide their judgements of an entire group. have so much of liquor-by-the-drink profits going to law enforcement, thereby abolishing the need to raise taxes to hire additional officers. First, the letter claims that the sale of liquor by the drink will result in increased taxes for the citizens of Boone. Supposedly, these taxes would be necessary to hire more police officers. What needs to be realized is that a great deal of money has already been raised for these purposes through taxes. West claims that since ASU and its students don't pay taxes, our opinions and our arguments are not solid or valid. Granted, we may not pay local taxes, but any student who works in Boone pays state taxes. This tax money is allocated for such projects as road mainte­ nance and improvements, schools, and state law en­ forcement, all of which have an impact here in Boone. Every bottle of liquor that is sold out of the Boone ABC store is charged with an added excise tax, just like every sale of liquor by the drink would be taxed. Revenue raised by these added excise taxes goes di­ rectly to the state and eventually comes back to Boone in the form of state funds. Since there isn t anything else in Boone I can use as an example, I 11 stick with ABC stores. At the present, ABC stores are self-supportive and are operated strictly from sales revenue and receive no tax money from the state. Profits from liquor sales are divided as follows: 5 percent goes to law enforcement, 7 percent goes to alcohol education programs, and the remaining profit goes to the town of Boone. In a liquor-by-the-drink situation, I'm sure a similar plan could be invoked to West s letter also claims that Boone could get along without ASU and that its students shouldn't take an interest in local happenings or attempt to initiatechange, because we don't really belong here. We're just "pass­ ing through."True, most of us may only be here for four or five years, but each year another class of new students comes to school here at ASU. It is up to today's students to take an interest and initiate change which will affect future students. As far as Boone getting by without ASU, I would only like to restate that this school provides the local The letter stales "the citizens of Boone should come first and ASU students want to "totally dominate" this town. First of all, the students of ASU should be consid­ ered members of this community just as much as any­ one else. Why should the students and their opinions be considered less than others? It can hardly be said that ASU and its students have "total domination of this town." In fact, with past developments like the noise ordinance, ASU students havehad to struggle to achieve equality, much less domination. West also insinuated that I have put education second to socializing. I never even hinted at that. Actually, this issue really doesn't involve caliber of education, but is more of a clash over social culture. There is more to college than an education. College allows people to See LOGIC pg. 10 Is it manly to ignore what we deplore? By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Columnbt Dexter Manley has been banned from football for life. The game he loved is now a thing of the past for him. More important is what will happen to him now. Op Nov. 18 the word came from the NFL Commissioner that Manley would become the third man ever to be banned from the sport for life. Manley had tested positive for substance abuse for the third time. According to reports, the amount of cocaine found in Manley's sample was 10 times the minimum amount allowed. The story gets more disturbing when weremember that Manley testified before a Senate committee last spring that he was functionally illiterate. It seems he had suffered from a form of dyslexia which caused words to appear jumbled when he saw them. It was one of the saddest sights I've every seen watching Manley break down in tears and admit this secret he had been hiding for so many years. But in recent months it looked like Dexter had been trying to turn his life around. He was getting treatment for his learning impairment, and in interviews he often spokeof keeping off drugs and trying to make a better life for himself. Suddenly . that all changed. Just as quickly and dra­ matically as the turn around started, it seemed to be over. The 30-year-old Manley is already approaching retirment age, and it will be at least a year before he can apply for reinstatement; prospects look bleak for his every playing in the NFL again. But tcJh .InKtHUci State University. How did he keep going through school for so many years without being able to read and not be kept from playing football? Why did his teachers not force him to do his homework and make the grade like his fellow students? Is it because he excelled on the playing field? This is no reason to require less of him in the classroom. We've all heard countless stories of athletes whose talents in athletics excuse them from aca­ demic responsibilities expected of their fellow stu­ dents. The schools sacrifice integrity, education and their honor for the big bucks of big-time athletics. there is a far bigger and more improtant issue here than football. Certainly, Manley deserved to be pun­ ished. But there is more than one violator of the rules in this whole ugly mess. We must ask ourselves how did Manley ever get this far without being able to read on the simplest level? After all, he did graduate from high school and spend four years at Oklahoma Throughout the nation, many college athletic programs are rotten to the core. This is not the first case of an athlete receiving preferential treatment. We've all heardcountless storiesof athletes whose talents in athletics excuse them from aca­ demic responsibilities expected of their fellow students. The schools sacrifice integrity, education and their honor for the big bucks of big-time athletics. Adminis­ trators look the other way. While it's obvious that the fans and honest students, as well as tax payers who support the university, are victims. It is of­ ten forgtten that the athletes themselves are being exploited. We do our athletes no favors by letting them think they are above the rules. We owe them an education and lo «nil eislamoD A .Lr.9jr,?o'N inlJoV |9jr 4 Z the discipline they need to survive off the field, as well as on. Today, many schools will take young men with raw physical ability and dreams of a great future in sports, and play on that to their advantage. These schools have no regard for the long term effects the lact of education and discipline will have on the young man. Many times the athlete will not make "the pros." At the end of four years at an institution of "higher education,"he will find himself with no future in sports, and no education to prepare him for life. Who's fault is this? It is the fault of every coach who does not make sure his players are making the grade in the class­ room. It is the fault of all the teachers who let the star player get by without doing his work like his class mates. It is the fault of administrators who know of, or suspect wrongdoing in their athletic department, but refuse to do anything to correct it. There are a lot more men like Dexter Manley who have been cheated by the system. As long as we continue to justify the status quo by using the frail excuse that it brings in money for the school and enhances its reputation, there will be more Dexter Manleys. Manley deserved punishment. But he deserved it many years ago, before he ever got this far. If he had been punished then, maybe by now he could have straightened things out, and this mess could have been avoided. Now there is a new generation of athletes whohave the potential to be abused by the system, and one day may find themselves in the situtation Manley is in. They deserve better than what they are getting.

Former Town Council Candidate Lou­ ise Miller said the results of Tuesday's election may be invalid, but added that she is not sure if she will request a re-call or a new election. Miller made her statement after District Attorney Tom Rusher called a press con­ ference yesterday to announce incidents involving the run-off election may have resulted in placing an "unfair or illegal influence" on the citizens of Boone. According to Rusher, state law enforce­ ment agencies will conduct an investiga­ tion into two separate mailings received by numerous members of the Boone community prior to Tuesday's polling. According to Rusher, the second mail­ ing appeared to support Chase and Miller and could have been mistakenly identified as a campaign tactic utilized by both. By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor Based on past seasons, ASU chances of hosting a playoff game are lower than previous years. "We are not bidding as high as we did in '86 and '87," Athletic Director Jim Gamer said. The Athletic Department submitted a bid to the National Collegiate Athletic Association that they could sell 4,000 tickets for the first round, 7,000 tickets for the second round and 8,000 tickets for the See INVESTIGATION pg. 2 K? . - - • * *• ' A , PRESSING ISSUES: District Attorney Tom Rusher called a investigation is the result of two anonymous mailings which press conference yesterday morning to announce a pending may havehad a negative effect on the campaigns offormerTown investigation into incidents which may have resulted in the Council Candidates Saul Chase and Louise Miller. illegal influence of voters in Tuesday's run-off election. The semifinals. The finals will be played in Statesboro, Ga., the home of Georgia Southern University. According to Gamer, the reason for such a low number of ticket sales pro­ jected in the first round is because of the date. The game is scheduled to be played on Saturday Nov. 25, just three days after Thanksgiving. Although the actual bids have not gone out yet, Gamer has mixed emotions con­ cerning ASU's chances.

Miller said the second mailing was "an attempt to discredit us (Chase and Miller) in a way that's not true." She added: "I stated I was in favor of a liquor by the drink referendum. I didn't say I was in favor of liquor or actively promoting liq­ uor sales or Liquor by the Drink." According to Miller, one phrase on the second mailing read, "Continue the party; vote for the pro-liquor candidates." North Carolina law provides that any person who publishes in a newspaper or pamphlet any charge that is derogatory to a candidate's chances of nomination or election will be charged with a general misdemeanor.

Rusher said the mailing was not sanc­ tioned by either party and was possibly used to "create a reverse negative esteem among the people who received it." The second mailing called for voters to support Liquor by the Drink in Boone by voting for Chase and Miller. According to Chase, the poster-like mailing did not clearly express either his or Miller's posi­ tion on the Liquor by the Drink issue. The anonymous mailings were directed toward Boone town council candidates Saul Chase and Louise Miller. According to Rusher, local law enforcement officials have suspects in the case. "We are principally concerned about an anonymous letter... in which some people expressed an attitude of intolerance to­ ward a religious group," Rusher said in reference to a letter which accused Chase of planning to "wipe out Christian influ­ ences from Boone," and urged citizens to vote against him. fountain craftsm an Charles Earnhardt has designed a commemorative ornament *An Appalachian Christmas 1989. ^Appalachian Christmas is a festival which benefits Appalachian State University's M Center. ^ornament is a cast of Santa Claus holding a sack of presents in one hand and Ffldle of switches, for naughty children, in the other. us-Ben Studios of Boone produced the ornament, which sells for $10. ^reserve one of the500limited edition ornaments, call 262-3117.Ornaments may feed up at the Cultural Center Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. or for an additional $2.50.

Thursday November 9, 1989 James Dugger and Jim Marsh won the two eligible seats for the town council in Tuesday's run-off election. Dugger won the majority by a 16 vote lead over Marsh, who won the remaining open seat with 757 votes. Saul Chase and Louise Miller lost with 666 and 660 votes respectively. Chase's campaign came under fire over the weekend when an anonymous letter was sent out to more than 30 Boone citi­ zens totry to persuade them to voteagainst him. A separate mailing came out Monday which appeared to support bothChase and Miller. The mailing, however, was neither sanctioned nor supported by either party, and both feel it was designed to negatively influence theoutcome of their campaigns. fact that we have hosted four playoff games, we are well-known with the NCAA," Gamer said. The NCAA accepts bids based on how much money a university feels it will make. The NCAA receives 75 percent of that dollar figure regardless of sales. If the university does reach its projected sales, everything above that amount is NCAA property. Hosting a playoff game does not mean that ASU will not make money off the ticket gates. "You project on all three games. You try to 'guestimate' how many tickets you sell," Gamer said. If ASU tries to bid too high, then the athletic budget goes further into the red, according to Gamer. The playoffs are broken up into four separate regions with each region having a top seed. "They (NCAA) try to make it as regional as possible," Gamer said. Gamer said he feels like ASU will fin­ ish among the top eight teams in the na­ tion. Currently the Mountaineers are ranked ninth, and although Holy Cross is ranked sixth, their conference does not participate in the playoffs. Gamer does not feel like the NCAA will ship the team out west."They (NCAA) could send us out west, but they probably won't," he said. Head Coach Jerry Moore is not sure how to evaluate the fan support. "I don't know what the pulse beat of the area is yet," Moore said. "Saturday was the worst student attendence I can remember." Jim Garner Athletic Director Another reason for the low bid was fan turnout this season including last week's game against Marshall. "Saturday was the worst student attendance I can remem­ ber," Garner said. The Mountaineers have been in four playoffs and all four first round games have been played in Boone. "Realisti­ cally, it might be better to go on the road for the first round over Thanksgiving," Jim Marsh Gamer said.Gamer said he feels that with no one left on campus over the break, the District Attorney Tom Rusher said the football players feel down. second mailing, which was in the form of posters, was "designed to create a nega­ tive esteem among the people who re­ ceived it." Moore does, however, want to play a home playoff game. "If we get to the playoffs, I would love to play it here," Moore said. "Sports is a big business and our people have to be willing tosay "let's go,"'Moore said, referring to the fan support over the season. Moore said he is realistic about what the students like."I want things done right for our pi ayers. I am real isti c. There i sa lot of things to do in this areaon Saturday," he added. Turn the page ... Chase said he is disappointed with the result of the election and added that he feels both letters affected the election. Miller said several people contacted her Monday nightafter receiving the poster in the mail. As to whether she feels it directly effected her chances of winning. Miller said,"I know it did." Records show 19.5 percent of Boone's registered voters turned out to vote in the run-off election. According to the Watauga County Board of Elections, there is no possibility of a second run-off election. At press time, neither Marsh nor Dug­ ger was available for comment.

According to Rusher, the statute was enacted in the 1930's and has never been interpreted nor has anyone been prose­ cuted for a violation of the statute. Rusher said the author(s) of each docu­ ment, if found guilty of violating the law, could face a possible maximum prison sentence of two years or a fine designated by the court. According toChase, both mailings were wide-spread among the citizens. Rusher said the first letter seemed to be a reaction to an article printed in "The Washington Post" which was written by Nan Chase, Saul Chase's wife. Chase claims quotes from her article were taken out of context in the first mailing and were re-printed without their supporting mate­ rial. Rusher identified the mailings as"dirty tricks and said that each mailing had caused reaction among Boone citizens. The overwhelming concern of the citi­ zens (seems to be) 'we are offended by the tactics and would like the DA to do what he can to investigate these occurrences in hope that future occurrences of this type will not happen.'" He did say, however, that some people were concerned "the candidates (Chase and Miller) caused the letters to be pub­ lished" in hopes the letters would some­ how improve their chances of winning, but Rusher labeled the idea as "an inap­ propriate conclusion." Chase said the mailings affected his campiagn and added he was more con­ cerned about the second rather than the first. "It (the second mailing) was more ambiguous (than the first) and it was not clear as to who sent it out," Chase said.

His professional inspirations include Laurel and Hardy, Benny Hill, Richard Pryor and the classic comic movie stars Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. On the philosophical side, he seems most strongly influenced—mentally and physi­ cally—by Kafka. The only method Emo admits to using in writing material is—surprise—some­ what off the beaten path: "I'll sort of go into a trance, and after a few hours, I'll have a few puns and a knock-knock joke."

At the age of four he began his piano playing, strongly influenced by Armando, his fa­ ther, a band leader in the '30s and '40s. Corea's early employers, Willie Bobo, Herbie Mann, and Monge Santamaire, instilled in him a love for Latin American music. In 1968 he joined Miles Davis' band and played electric piano on the landmark In A Silent Way album. His avant-garde group Circle, which ran from 1969-1971, was an important force in free form im­ provisations, reflecting the influence of jazz musicians like Paul Bley and drawing from 20th century composers like John Cage. CHICK COREA AND TRIO: Chick Corea, who is widely renowned as one of the seminal pianists and keyboardists in the history of jazz, will bring his Akoustic Band to Farthing Audito­ rium Monday. Corea, shown here with John Patittucci and Dave Weckl, has been a part of thejazzrenaissance foryears, perhaps mostnotably for his work with Miles Davis. Since he became a leader in his own right, Corea has combined traditional, bebop and fusion styles while moving from his earlier electric phase into the current all-acoustic mode within which he now performs. Tickets areon sale now at the Farthing Auditorium box office. Cost will be $4 for students and $8 for non-students. In 1977 Corea toured with a 13-piece band (including horns and strings). Since the late '70s, he has toured and recorded in a number of contexts, ranging from fusion quintets to straight-ahead jazz quartets and trios to classical duets. He formed the Chick Corea Elektric Band in 1985, and now travels with the Chick Corea Akoustic Band. John Patittucci, who plays bass for the Akoustic trio, has been recording and touring with the Elektric Band since its inception. He has gained critical acclaim from major music magazines. Patittucci stands out as oneof the most masterful and inspiring bassists of today. Patittucci's creative talents have also contributed to the performances and recordings of Larry Carlton, The Crusaders, Freddie Hubbard and David Sanborn, to name a few. Dave Weckl,drummer for the Akoustic band, has also been a member of the Elektric band since the formation. Weckl was named"Best Electric Jazz Drummer" by "Modem Drummer" Reader Poll and "Mr. Rhythm" in the "Jazz Life" Reader PolL Weckl has performed with Simon and Garfunkel, George Benson, Randy Brecker and Robert Plant among others. Corea holds a special fondness and fascination for the trio format. "The way I (Corea) came up as a musi­ cian, this combination was always the basic jazz-making unit...youadd the drums to bass and piano and I seem to groove into the tradition that filters back through Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Horace Sil­ ver, Bud Powell, Earl Hines and Duke Ellington" Corea said. This trio is a finely tuned unit that features all the swinging spirit of the Vitous-Haynes rhythm section yet also in­ corporated the high degree of give-andtake ^at defined the Holland-Altschul unit. "The Newport Providence" has si about the Akoustic trio, "Corea and I able sidemen-bassist John Patittucci ai drummer Dave Weckl-came through wi a muscular set of bebop and achieved surprisingly big sound." Corea's recent switch to an acoustic piano and an all acoustic band represents a dramatic development in his music. Although Corea is one of the pioneers it the use of electronic keyboard, he his mixed feelings about their use: "Music is an art form that involves communication between people: between musicians is well as between musicians and their audi­ ences... There never will be a machine that can replace what human musicians cm do." During his career spanning more that 23 years this jazz legend has won seven Grammy Awards and been labeled "Composer of the Year," "Jazzmanof the Year," and "Musician of the Year" by national and international music industry publications. This will be an unforget table night of jazz! The performance will be held at Far­ thing Auditorium and tickets may be putchased there Monday through Friday, fro® 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tickets are $4 for students and $8 for non-students. The keyboards for this event are provided by YamahaThe performance is sponsored by tb{ performing Arts Series, a division of the Office of Cultural Affairs. For morefflfwmation call 262-4046. Find out what to do besides Emo By STEVEN M. GEBEAUX Appalachian Staff Writer It's time once again for a chronological listing of what's happening in the groovy homestead of Boone this weekend. The ASU Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. William A. Gora, will be holding a free concert in Rosen Concert Hall at 8 p.m. this evening. The concert, featuring guest artists and new composi­ tions, is sure to be worth far more than the admission price. The title character in the film "The Pope of Greenwich Village" is a throw­ back to some of the earliest Catholic Popes, a fast-talking hustler who is overwhelmed by debt.In order to overcome his troubles, he joins his cousin in a heist of some of the Mafia's millions. This richly textured film is more than an action filled story; it is a funny collec­ tion of character studies, people who have grown up in a rough neighborhood in modem day New York, a place where laws don't mean a thing. A true cut of life that can be seen for only $1 this Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. in I.G. Greer The­ atre. Your dollar will also include admission to "9 1/2 Weeks"at 9 p.m. This film is the saga of an obsessively sexual relationship between Mickey Rourke and Kim Bassinger. It is a raw, erotic study of two people drawn together, and ultimately torn apart, by their intensedesires. Although some of the more explicit material was cut, it still deserves to be Rated R. You know nothing about total weirdness until you have experienced one of John Waters' earlier films and seen or heard Emo Phillips. Emo looks like he has come directly from the College for Court Jesters in medieval England. If he had gone there, he surely would have been class valedictorian, or maybe class dunce. Either way he isone of the funniest come­ dians to come this way on tour in a long time. Brought to you by the A. P.P.S. Comic Strip, he will be at Legends for only $5 students and $6 non-students, general admission. Doors will open at 8:30 p.m. Friday night and I will be seated in front row at my pick of the weekend (see inter­ view, this section). Yet another sultry and sexy film, "Angel Heart," will play in I. G. Greer on Friday night, this time at 11:30 p.m. This film, which stars Lisa Bonet ("The Cosby Show") as well as Robert DeNiro as a thinly-disguised Satan, was also put under the censor's knife before escaping with an R rating. The cost for this hot midnight movie is a mere $1.50. Can you believe it? For two events in a row, ASU has been mentioned in nation­ ally published magazines, first for George Thorogood and now for The Chick Corea Akoustic Band. Jazz keyboardist Chick Corea has been around for more than 23 years and has won seven Grammy Awards. If you take a jazz course, his name will be in the text book! This man knows his jazz, and he is good. Tickets are only $4 for students and $8 for general admission. The show is this Mondayevening at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium It used to be that when you thought of Clint Eastwood, you thought about Dirty Harry or a cheesy mayor. Now you also have to think of him as a great director, at least for the movie "Bird." A stunning biographical film, "Bird" jumps back and forth in the life of the late Charlie Parker, a great jazz saxophonist also known as "Yardbird" or just plain "Bird." Set in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, this film traces Parker's life through hiscreation of be-bop jazz to his drug problems and legal See EMO pg. 5 JOHN VICCUTCHEON TO PERFORM BENEFIT-Trad tional and folk music jack-of-all-trades John McCmcheon'will perform in a benefit for the OASIS organization in Farlhine B Auditorium this Saturday.

They seemed to have created a system and were acting out through dance and music the fluctuations of that system. The group broke down into smaller systems—groups of four. They moved in similar fashion, exhibiting the group's dynamics. Still further breakdown into a single person, a self-contained system, followed, the soloist moving in rigid, jerk­ ing fashion. Then the music changed to an airy feeling, and so did the movements of the dancer. The the system returned in its entirety. All in all, a very satisfying con­ clusion. Lar Luboviteh was bom in Chicago and was educated at the University of Iowa and the Juilliard School in New York. He danced in many modem, ballet, jazz and ethnic companies before forming the Lar Luboviteh Dance Company in 1968. Luboviteh has made contributions to the choreography of many ice dancing per­ formances, including dances for Olympic Gold Medalists John Curry, Peggy Flem­ ing and Dorothy Hammill. Recently, he choreographed a version of "The Sleeping Beauty." In 1987, he received his first Tony nomination for his musical staging of the Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine musical "Into the Woods." For this season, which includes per­ formances in West Germany, Switzer­ land, Denmark, and Guatemala, the company will be performing two world premieres. Their performance in Farthing was superb.

Gerard Ruiter, another of the founding members, displayed a qual ity of tone with the oboe which brought marvelous beauty to the piece. An die Musik finished the concert with a well chosen "Quartet for pianoand strings in E fl at Major" by Lud wig van Beethoven. It was during this Quartet that Constance Emmerich showed her leadership as the force behind the group. Emmerich, the star pianist of the group, is the third of the founding members of An die Musik. This professional group was started by friends who played Chamber music for fun. When the friends were being split up by their careers they quickly became a formal group so as to continue playing together. An die Musik played their debut season at St. Stephen's Church located in Man­ hattan in 1976-77.

ASU leads this series with the Indians, This will be the first time the two teams which dates back to 1929, 21-14-3. Their have faced each other since 1971, when series with Catawba is the Mountaineers' third longest at 38 games behind Western Carolina (53 meetings) and Lenoir Rhyne (45 meetings.) This is the seventh time the Indians have made an appearance in the now Kidd Brewer Stadium and the first time they have competed in the facility without it being a Homecoming contest. The Indians, under the direction of Head Coach Bill Mauldin, were idle last week, giving them an extra week of preparation time. They will be entering the game with an overall record of 4-5 this season and 42 in the South Atlantic Conference, not losing a game to a North Carolina team.

Appalachian Staff Writer See ROTC pg. 8 According to race coordinator Capt. Michael Altomare, the race is designed to raise funds for the ROTC Pershing Rifles. The money will be used for a variety of activities, including a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of Watauga .County and Pershing Rifle drill competi­ tions. Altomare said, "The goal for this first race is to have 300 people participate." He added that expecting 250 participants in the race is more realistic. According to Altomare, 115 people had registered to walk or run in the race as of Monday, with a majority of them being students. "A smooth running race and people wanting to come back to next year's race is the goal for this year," said Altomare. Mountaineers Carlos Lee, Brian Flynn and Rudi Schmoll each scored goals in the game. ASU had to prepare to take on the Paladins of Furman for the finals Sunday. To top off the event , Lee was also named the Southern Conference Player of the Year while ASU's Head Coach Art Rex was named Coach of the Year for the Southern Conference. For the third straight year, Lee also made first team All-Conference, along with defenders Jeremy Mittag and Salandy, and goalie Earl Morgan. Salandy was also honored the previous two years. By the final tick of the clock, the Paladins finished with a 4-0 win over ASU. The win gave them a 10-8 record and the tide to the Southern Conference Tournament. Although ASU did not win the tournament, there were many other highlights for the Mountaineers. In the final match, ASU reflected on an earlier season match with Furman. The Mountaineers defeated the Paladins in the regular season at Kidd Brewer Stadium 31. Remembering and looking for revenge, Furman hoped to beat ASU. The Mountaineers looked to once again pull out another win which would give them the Southern Conference Tourna­ ment title. Unfortunately, they could not seem to even score against Furman as the Paladins avenged the earlier season loss. Jeff Turner The Appalachian Sports Editor Andrew BurT pulled Furman through the final match with three goals and one assist. He scored at the 12-minute mark and the 24-minute mark, during the first half. Although ASU did not win the tourna­ ment, there were many other highlights for the Mountaineers.

Dirty politics rule in Boone Tuesday's run-off election for the Boone Town Council was a despicable example of dirty politics at its worst. Before the election, a sheet was circulated detailing candidate Saul Chase's "anti-Christian" sentiments. The paper tried to convince voters that Chase was some kind of immoral individual, since he did not subscribe to the ever-popular fundamentalist form of Christianity. Not only was this a ridiculous thing to imply, but the presentation of this propaganda was also illegal. For this reason, the election should be nullified and a repeat election should be held. Another run-off is obviously warranted in this situation, since the election was unfair and criminal actions were involved. However, to add to this unfairness, the Watauga County Board of Elections is saying that another election will not take place. Perhaps the most miserable aspect of this election was the way the voters appeared taken in by this kind of unethical stunt. Chase was among the top vote-getters in the earlier elections and was considered by many to bea shooin for a council seat. Obviously, a lot of people bought the argument that Chase was not a "good Christian" and blindly voted in ignorance. Is this the way democracy is supposed to work? In a country where there is supposedly a separation between church and state, the opposite actually seems to be true. Perhaps the peopleof Boone areactual ly saying they would prefer to live in a theocracy, where dictator-like preachers rule in God's name. It is also important to note that the only two candidates who actively campaigned for the student vote, Chase and Louise Miller (another victim of dirty campaigning), lost. Miller was wrongly portrayed as a sell-liquor-atall-cost candidate. This whole election mess does not say much for the students, or for their power to change things in a place where they practically outnumber the permanent residents. Students can now look forward to what appears to be die most anti-student town council in years. Don't be surprised to see the death penalty implemented for noise ordinance violators. Perhaps we shouldn't be so surprised, since this kind of gutter campaign"1seems to be a national trend. The first item on the new council's list may *ell be an amendment saying it is illegal to burn the Boone town flag. Substance just doesn't seem to matter, only slander and catchy slogans. Non-Bible-thumping activists, where were you on election day? Inacdue? Don'tyou care who runs your lives for you? Students, where were you when the two candidates who even bothered to try to win your support were king defeated? Perhaps in a re-election you will all come out in droves. For sake of local politics and the town of Boone, one must hope so. THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Mud is often the end result Modern political strategists are subverting traditional issue -oriented campaigns and opting for campaigns which personally attack the opposition. This is an attempt by politicians (or their strategists) to shift attention away from their personal weaknesses and onto often irrelevant topics. When issues are brought out, they are usually ones which are controversial in nature and serve, not to bring out the qualities of the speaker, but to show the faults of the opposition. Part of the fault of this trend lies within the voting populace itself—a populace which would rather know the "dirt" on someone than leam about the political and diplomatic qualifications of the candidate. Not all registered voters prefer or even tolerate this sort of mudslinging; however, these are the voters who stay home insteadof participating insuch unworthy elections. The only other times candidates address issues, they talk out of different sides of their mouths when address­ ing different audiences. Their efforts to attract a larger segment of the voting force only serve to further weaken already nondescript stances. Those who only follow the issues which they feel most strongly about fall prey to these opportunistic politicians who try to befriend all groups when the need arises. It seems as though the campaign managers and candi­ dates themselves hope those who come to understand these underhanded policies will become fed up and refuse toparticipate in the "circus." Of course, this would only leave the uninformed, truncated body of the elector­ ate to place hypocrites and sleaze mongers in office. If this is the case, then the more hypocritical and dirty a campaign is, the greater its success will be—as long as these tactics reach a great enough number of potential voters through mass-media advertising on such shows as "Wheel of Fortune." Are these strategists looking for a greater quality of voter or a greater quantity? When the informed voter stays home, the "leftovers" are those who react strongly to strongly negative cam­ paigning. Most candidates who are worth considering for office are those with a wealth of worldly experience. Most people with a wealth of worldly experience are those who have gone out on a limb a time or two to experience what life has to offer. When experiencing what life has to offer, peopleoften make human mistakes. No one is perfect, and those most qualified to represent a majority of the people have made mistakes in their attempts to become qualified. By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Columnist On a recent Friday night when my modest budget restricted me from taking in a rock concert as I wished, I had the occasion to view a Dr. Seuss cartoon fes­ tival with some friends. Having not seen a Dr. Seuss show in years, I really was not expecting the educational experience to which I was to be treated. Many may be under the impression that Dr. Seuss is something we outgrow with lunchboxes and Little League. However, from what I saw,itprobably wouldn't hurt for more of us to rediscover some of the underlying messagesof selected Dr. Seuss productions. There are two in particular that I would recommend. The first is the story of the Snceches. Sneeches were creatures who inhabited the beaches. There were two kinds of Sneeches, some had starts on their bellies and others had none. The Sneeches who sported stars thought of themselves as being superior to theothers. Children were taught not toplay with "inferior" sneeches, the star-bellies refused to associate with the other kind—even on a social basis. Naturally, this was a source of great pain to the sneeches who had no stars. One day an opportunist came to town with an amazing invention—a star-on machine. The sneeches without stars all paid small fees to have stars placed on their bellies. When the other sneeches heard of this, they were outraged. They could no longer tell each other apart, there were nolonger different kinds of sneeches, therefore, there was no longer any group to look down upon. In response to this, they called on the opportunist to use another of his machines to remove their stars from their bellies. This set off a chain where all the sneeches went through one machine and then the other trying to keep up with their original group. When the excitement finally died down and the sneeches had spent all their money having stars removed and put back on, no one could remember just which group they originally belonged to. Faced with the reality of not knowing who the "superior" sneeches were, they made a wise decision to end their senseless old ways and embraced one another as equals, star or no star. The sneeches learned a lesson in one day that humans haven't figured out in thousands of years. The sneeches lived happily ever after and lived together as mature one. It's not too late for us to do the same. When we end systems like apartheid and segregation and learn to see all of our fellow humans as brothers and sisters, we, too, will be free of the bonds of fear, ignorance and hatred that the sneeches were smart enough to rid themselves of. Another story dealt with the trials of a being named Lorax. Lorax defended trees against an industrialist named Mr. Onceler who was cutting down trees to make his product called "thneeds." As Onceler made more money and got richer from selling his thneeds, the pleas from Lorax to save the environment were continually ignored. Lorax was written off as a weirdo standing in the way of progress. After all, the industrialist reasoned that what he did was good for the economy and people needed his product for a better life at any cost. In actuality, only Onceler, who was getting rich, had a better life. Eventually all of the trees were cut down, and the animals were driven out of the forest. Fed up with the sickening greed of Onceler and the overwhelming apathy of common people, Lorax leaves his home that is now in ruins from the destruction it has suf­ fered at the hands of Onceler's corpora­ tion. The area is now in economic and envi­ ronmental ruin but there still remains a small glimmer of hope. In theend Onceler realized the mistake he had made and the great harm he had done. He is alone for many years after he's destroyed all the trees. Amazingly, he still has a seed to plant one tree. In his regret of his past insensitivity, he throws the seed down to a young boy and tells him to plant and nuture it. If all people will take care of the last remaining tree and let it grow, even­ tually they might rebuild the forest. It may not be too late for useither. If we (the people) will stand up to the real life Oncelers we can save our beaches, rain forests and ozone layer. Wecan't afford to wait until all of our trees are gone to start fighting back. In the two Dr. Seuss stories just men­ tioned, one group learned a valuable les­ son in time and the other learned when it was all but too late. In real life, the human race must learn these lessons in time, and time is running out. If we are not careful we may discover, one day in the future, that we have run out of tomorrows. The atmosphere of change is building To the Editor: Cow philosophy. If candidates make human mistakes when they are young and seeking experience, should they be forever persecuted by the oh-so-perfect voting community? Should they not instead be allowed to help others leam from their mistakes, so others will not make the same mistakes? Should they not be forgiven when truly repentent? How can anyone without a wealth of experi­ ence—not to mention accompanying mistakes—be competent when dealing with issues where experience is mandatory? It would be like the blind leading the blind— which, unfortunately, is often the case. The reason I have brought up this point is because, as long as voters base their vote on the false idea of perfect leaders, the past mistakes of all candidates will be cov­ ered up in a self-protective effort, only to be dug up by unscrupulous tacticians on the opposing side. The tacti­ cians with the bestcommunication sources will be able to win elections for their clients/candidates, not on the basis of merit, but on the basis of how well they can discredit the opposition by bringing skeletons out of their closets. Running for office should be a baring-of-the-soul proc­ ess where the simple mistakes of the past can be brought out and subsequently put aside, only being used again as a learning example for those fortunate enough to benefit from it. Only perfect people should vote for perfect candidates. Since America is bereft of both, it is obvious that each American should vote for the candidate with whom he or she most agrees. The full gamut of issues need to be addressed in every campaign from county dog catcher to the president of the United States. How can we make these candidates uphold the prom­ ises made during their campaigns and keep them from making contradictory promises to different interest groups? We can make them write out a contract stating their agenda and legally hold them responsible for the contract's content. If they feel a need to change the Seuss f meaning changes as Students try to salvage tomorrow © '983 Chronic*# FcaturM by Uniyrm Pr#*i Syndicate Michael Boykin content of their contracts after election, they could be required to submit the amendments in the form of a public referendum. This way we could effectively clean up the filthy mess politics are in at this time. This would also give much of the power inherently belonging to the people back to the people. We would be much more inclined to vote for a definite agenda in which we know where all candidates stand on all issues. As a matter of fact, we, the voting population of each election, should formulate the issues on which we would like to get definite stances from each candidate. This way there can be no side-stepping of issues as is so commonly done in American campaigns. This would, in turn, bring the informed, though reluc­ tant, voter back into the voting booth to choose a candi­ date who could be expected to follow through on cam­ paign promises. Campaign rhetoric would no longer drive those"in the know" away from the election process. We could feel secure knowing that anything stated in the campaign contracts would hold future incumbents ac­ countable for their actions. We must take back our rights, because politicians increasingly listen to small segments of the voting pol­ ity—in the form of special interest groups—who offer them power and/or money to represent them and only them. Americans have the right to accept or reject as they choose. We have the right to accept or reject candidates based on their high-power campaigns. We also have the right to reject the system used by moneyed candidates which allows them to dwell on negative aspects of the opposition over their own positive aspects. This type of campaigning is like saying, "I have no redeeming quali­ ties of my own; however, I am less harmful than my 'esteemed' opponent." I want to know about the past of each candidate, but I want to hear about it from someoneother than the biased opposition. Confession is good for the soul. Let the candidates admit their pasts and get on with the future. Just to keep them honest, we could also do independent background checks. This would encourage them to either "tell all" to begin with or not get involved in the first place. We have the resources to find out any negative aspects acandidate has; weshould know about them. The opposition, however, should not be able to use these aspects to reflect attention away from their own short­ comings. On the weekend of Oct. 27-29,1 had the opportunity, along with a number of other ASU students representing several different organizations, to participate in the Student Environmental Action Coalition national conference at UNC. It was the first meeting of its kind in history and unprecedented in both its purpose and its magnitude. Consisting of 1,600 intelligent, well-informed students from across the entire country, its objective was to consolidate the student environmental movement into a national network. Environmental issues today are no longer simply a matter of "keeping American beautiful," but are a question of global survival. A carcinogen irresponsibly spewed from a corporate facility, for just one example, does not discriminate between liberal, conserva­ tive, Christian or Hindu. It only knows that you are a living organism just as any other living organism. Furthermore, the environmental movement of today is not driven by empty-headed liberal "crackpots" as may be popularly misconceived. It is led by some of the most brilliant scientists and world leaders of our time. How can we, also as intelligent people, ignore the conclusions of the world's most powerful intellectual forces on the cutting edge of scientific knowledge? The answer, of course, is that we cannot, and as college students it is our responsibility to place ourselves at the front lines of environmental action. Radical sounding? Maybe. The solutions to these problems, however, are incredibly simple and only require a minimal adjustment in life-style. For some examples, recycle your beer cans and bottles, writer letters to your representatives when an issue concerns you, and try to avoid disposable products. Most importantly, though, pay attention to your political candidates and vote. As small as these solutions appear, they are some of the keys to survival—but only if a concerted effort exists. To quote the SEAC welcoming message, "As inheritors of the future we have everything to gain in this struggle and everything to lose." Through this movement we can empower ourselves to safeguard our future, but we need your support. One of the most important lessons from which we can all leam refers to "the man who knew he could only do a little, so he did nothing." Please, join one of the environmentally active organizations on campus if possible. They include SAVE, the Highland Biology Club, the Anthropol­ ogy Club, the Blue Ridge Environ­ mental Defense League, and others that I may be apologetically unaware of. We need you, and you can make a differ­ ence. Thank you. A point that makes such a dynamic argument is that no one side is correct. Choices need to be made. I realize that no one ever is endowed with the skills of being a perfect parent. People aren't perfect; they make mistakes. I am not in favor of abortion, but I understand that child abuse and other economic sanctions hamper a typical, normal environment. Yes, abortions are not fair, but get used to it Yes, abortion is an alternative to a serious dilemma. Why would someone be for the abortion issue? I am proAndrew Dolby choice, I say this only because the ASU Box 5194 choice is not my obligation, and for many that is what a child is. If we, as a society, want to curb the amount of abortions; then we, as a culture, need to embrace motherhood. I believe that some reasonable solution exists, if we study deep into our hearts and minds for a solution that is made with the least amount of regretful consequences. Remember, either choice is final. Mr. O'Flaherty, that is what pro-choice means to me. "Choice" is always a personal dilemma To the Editor: Yes, abortion is murder, but it's not always wrong. Is it?

This position fulfills the 12 semester hour internship requirement that criminal justice majors must meet in order lo graduate. A special comm i ttee,composed of student government representatives, chooses an intern for each semester. The selection process invoices reviewing applications and interviewing the applicants. Thestudent who is chosen for the internship is exposed to a variety of responsibili­ ties. The duties of the intern are based on office management, interpretation of North Carolina law, advertising and promotion of the office, and personal relation skills. Students who visit the office for free legal advice come in for a variety of reasons. Ikse individuals are usually concerned with traffic violations, landlord/tenant lisputes, consumer problems, family matters and much more. These situations allow the intern to learn about both civil and criminal law. The position pays a $1,000 stipend, which is paid to the intern in monthly istallments. Hie office is located on the ASU campus in Workman Hall. Applications can be obtained in room 319 of Workman Hall. They must be ompleted and turned in by Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 4 p.m. CIA Uses Misinformation to Fool Students at New Mexico and Middlebury CPS)—The Central Intelligence Agency resorted to fake and misleading statements Opacify students at the University of New Mexico and Middlebury College who object to its campus recruiting in October. At New Mexico, CIA recruiters confused demonstrators by showing up one day Wlier than scheduled to interview students. AtMiddlebury, a recruiter convinced protesters to disperse by promising the CIA *ould never recruit at the Vermont campus again. I will not come back on campus to do any more recruiting. I promise you that," nan Peters, chief of the agency's New England recruitment center, told 15 students iohad staged a sit-in at Middlebury's placement office while more than 50 others 'femonstrated outside Mark Mansfield, a CIA spokesman at the agency's Washington, D.C. hcadquarWs, however, quickly clarified that Peters had not meant the CIA would not return "Middlebury. Though Peters signed a statement saying that he "will not indicate interviews" at ^ ''600-student school,other CIA recruiters might continue toconduct interviews Mansfield said. Peters was trying to quell a very tense situation," Mansfield said, noting Middle"T had not provided any security for Peters. 'n a separate incident at the University of New Mexico, the CIA began recruiting eampus on Oct. 5, a day earlier than scheduled, to avoid confrontations with Ments. Last year, UNM students disrupted recruiting and took CIA literature during a ^mment career fair on campus. CIA officials left and said they would not return recent years, protests against the agency have rocked the universities of Colorado, Massachusetts, Iowa, Washington, Vermont, North Carolina ' harlotte and California at Los Angeles, as well as Brown,Syracuse, Northwestern cand Ohio State universities, to name a few. Students have the right to demonstrate, just as the CIA has the right to recruit," sfield said, adding campus opposition sometimes helps its recruiting.

Dan Duke misrepresented facts concerning a spring Academic Integrity Board appeal where Duke charged a student with cheating. "Dr. Duke misrepresented evidence," Vice Chancellor forStudent Development Dr. David Mclntire said. Mclntire serves as Chairman of the University Court of Appeals that ruled on Duke's charges. Duke alleged that the committee acted with a"lack of integrity" after thedecision to charge a student with cheating was dropped by the appellate court. Duke, who also serves as editor of the Faculty Senate publication "Faculty Voice," dedicated the October issue of the publication to relating his side of the story surrounding the event. He also featured the incident in the November issue. Associate Vice Chancellor for Aca­ demic Affairs Dr. Clinton Parker said Duke was wrong in several aspects of the article. Parker said Duke was incorrect in stat­ ing a witness for the student charged was present at the appeal hearing. "(The wit­ ness) did not appear at the appeal hearing. We don't allow witnesses to come before the court." According to Parker, who has served on the court for 10 years, the only people By ANDY SWOFFORD Appalachian Staff Writer ASU's self-proclaimed "Year of the Environment" will bring events and pro­ grams throughout the year aimed at rais­ ing environmental consciousness in this area. "Earth Year" organizers will bring en­ vironmental exhibits, conferences and speakers to campus during the academic year to address environmental issues. The university is also planning immediate and long-term changes to the campus to har­ monize with the environment and leave a lasting legacy. The idea for "Earth Year" grew out of Earth Week, a week long celebration designed to pay homage to the planet on which we live, and was planned by the Environmental IssuesCommittee. The EIC recognized the need for ASU to take an active interest in the environment and prompted Chancellor John Thomas to declare this the "Year of the Environ­ ment." "Much of the physical plant at this institution was put in place long before there was sufficient concern for protect­ ing the environment," Thomas said. "We built in the flood plain, covered up creeks, disposed of waste water in storm sewers, placed buildings and roads in less than desirable locations and generally acted like the majority of the population who felt that the United States had unlimited resources and could forever respond to our insatiable demands for energy and space." to "The Charlotte Observer," the Russian pianist, Vladimir Horowitz, "heart attack at his Manhattan home on Sunday.

Although Ash agreed with Duke in saying the testimony of the witness could be considered"new evidence," Parker said, "The court had discussed the issue and decided it was not new evidence." Parker and Ash also said that Duke was wrong in accusing Mclntire of abusing his power in the November issue of the "Faculty Voice." "I don't know where Dr. Duke is com­ ing from and why he has chosen to vent his anger against Dr. Mclntire," Parker said. "He (Duke) is out ofplace." Parker pointed out that Mclntire only serves as chairman of the Appeal Committee and does not have a vote. In the November issue of the "Faculty Voice" Duke also said both the defendant and his witness were "friends and football players." Parker commented: "The court did not know anything about either of the students. It wouldn't make any difference what color theii skin was, if they were football players or Chancellor's Schol­ ars." "The court is interested only in seeing that justice is done," Parker said, "no matter who is being charged." Ash said the original ruling was over­ turned because "the court wasn't 100 percent sure the defendant was innocent. but they were not 51 percent sure he was guilty either." She added, "The court did what they had to do." Ash said the burden of proof rested on Duke. According to her, in the first hear­ ing, Duke had the preponderance of evi­ dence which proved the student was guilty, but only because the defendant was unpre­ pared. Ash said that in the appeal, when the testimony of the witness was entered, Duke no longer had enough evidence to prove the defendant's guilt. Ash also said that Duke's claim that either he or the student would have to be found to be at fault "is just not right." Ash said: "He (Duke) had a good case, it just wasn' t enough to prosecute the defendant That doesn't mean Dr. Duke was amiss or did anything wrong." Parker said, "If I understand in (D'ike's) first 'faculty voice' epistle, he asked that all members of the court of appeals be fired, or if it is found he (Duke) is not telling the truth, he be fired, so...(ha, ha,ha.)" ASU Faculty Senate Chairperson Dr. Sally Atkins said the senate is "concerned that it is not fair to re-Cry this case in public," but added that they are also look­ ing into Duke's allegations of the faculty being left out of the appeals process. "We are going to look into (Duke's) allegations, but we are not ready to say See DUKE pg. 2 EIC Chairperson Dr. Melissa Barth decided to expand Earth Week, and the April celebration of the 20th anniversary of Earth Day, to "Earth Year: Our Com­ mon Future." The idea was to keep envi­ ronmental issues at the forefront of cam­ pus concerns throughout the entire year. "The goal of 'Earth Year' is to get the people of ASU involved in environmental issues and to get them active in preserving and protecting the local and global envi­ ronment," Barth said. "If they don't do it now, the next generation will have to deal with it, and the generation after that won't be here at all." There will be a number of exhibits which will be set up in the Student Union lobby throughout the remainder of the academic year.

Parker said that this being an appeal by the University's Academic Integrity Board, AIB Chairman Dr. Dan Hurley was invited to participate in the hearing. According to Parker, thiscase was the first case appealed by the AIB. "Dr. Hurley expressed a willingness and perhaps a desire to be present at the hearing,"Parker said, "He (Hurley) shared the discussion from the first hearing with the appeal committee." Parker also refuted Duke's claim that the court heard new evidence which had not been presented earlier. "He (Duke) alleges the court accepted new evidence," Parker said. "To my way of thinking, that's false." Duke claimed new evidence was en­ tered when the court accepted the testi­ mony of a witness who claimed to sec the accused student take a final exam which Duke alleged the student did not take. SGA Public Defender Kathleen Ash said the witness was not present at the first hearing but that his testimony was consid­ ered in the appellate hearing. Parker said, "The defendant testified before the AIB that he was present for the exam on reading day and had witnesses, but he could not corroborate that."

In a prepared statement released from this office, the letter in question "appar­ ently is calculated to affect the candidates chances of election." According to the Watauga County District Attorney's Office, the person or persons responsible who have engaged in this activity may have committed a misde- North Carolina law provides that any person who publishes in a newspaper or pamphlet any charge that is derogatory to a candidate's chances of nomination or election will be charged with a general misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of two years in prison or a fine designated by the court. Numerous inquiries from Watauga County residents have prompted the Dis­ trict Attorney's Office to investigate the matter. "Any person who may haveknowl­ edge of the identity of the anonymous letter writer or anyone involved in publi­ cation of this letter is encouraged to report this to the District Attorney's Office," the statement said. The letter contains a copy of an article written by the candidate's wife.Nan Chase and published in "The Washington Post." The letter includes criticism of Nan Chase and accused Saul Chase of making plans to "wipe out Christian influences from Boone; thus deceiving the very people who fought hard to put him in office." The letter accuses Chase of deceiving his supporters, by not supporting the"good, wholesome beliefs"of Boone citizens and of "wanting to remove the aggressive Christian influence" from public build­ ings and schools. The letter states that litis is "a deception that is allegedly a deliber­ ate attempt to gain power to take our Christian atmosphere from us." According to Nan Chase, the quotes from her article were taken out of context and without the supporting material that originally gave it balance. Saul Chase stated that the allegations are untrue."Government and religion have nothing to do with each other. Providing public serv ices does not concern religion." Chase also stated that since he is Jewish, he does not attend a church in Boone. "This is anexampleof dirty politics and I hope this is one of the last examples of this kind of campaigning," Chase said. He also stated that he hopes this will inspire his supporters to go to the polls on Tuesday and vote. Chase says that he knows of at least 30 letters that have been circulated, but feels that there were substantially more circu­ lated throughout the Boone area. Nan Chase added that they have re­ ceived a great out pouring of community support. Turn the page ...

All oecics Day celebration, greenway hike ud cleanup, soil, air and water testing, u ee planting, and a fun run and games day. Many of the environmental groups from this area are expected to participate. Along with these activities, there are specific programs throughout the year that directly involve cleaning up and keeping the university clean. The university has started a recycling program and is improving its steam plant by adding emissions control devices and by rerouting wastewater from storm to sanitary sewers. So far, the university has spent $350,000 on improvements. The recycling program is expected to turn the university's 6,000 tons of solid waste, 83 percent of which is recyclable, into useful products, according to land­ scape engineer Jim Rice. The biggest percentage of solid waste is high quality paper products, and an effort is under way OLLIS what kind of, if any, changes are needed at ihis point." Atkins said: "We want to preserve academic integrity and individ­ ual rights. We need to address the issues ind see if we are maintaining academic integrity and individual rights and see that we are treating people fairly and consis­ tently." Atkins said she hopes Duke's allega­ tions will not make faculty members be­ come "discouraged and abandon the (academic integrity) system, but make it (the system) more effective." According to Parker, in the October issue of the "Faculty Voice," Duke asked faculty members to ignore the current Academic Integrity Policy. Parker said: "The thing that scares me about the (Octo­ ber) "Faculty Voice" issue is he (Duke) urges faculty not to use the Academic Integrity Policies. This could be very dangerous." Classifieds 265-3724 Parker added. By not going through the proper procedures, faculty members could get themselves into a lot of trouble." Parker said he is unsure as to the out­ come of Duke's charges. "I don't know where this all will lead," Parker said and added that he feels the entire event had been escalated out of proportion. Parker pointed out his opinions were not necessarily those of the other mem­ bers of the appeals committee or those involved in the appeal process.

The Speech f t bet all of you have heard Paul Anka's "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" countless times, but I have reason to believe it is one of the most true-to-life pop songs ever written. Breaking up should be so easy. A guy or a girl should be able to walk up to his or her "significant other" and say, "It's over, by," with no questions asked. The best example of the classic straightforward lover is John Wayne. Everyone knew when the Duke loved a woman when he savagely took her in his arms and kissed some sense into her. 01' John knew how to break up with a woman as well. He'd just slip off his horse and say: "Look here, little I'm not a man to run away from anything, but watching Bess here swat (lies with her tail is more exciting than you are. As they say in Mexico, 'Adios."' The problem I have about breaking up relationships is that everyone I know around here does it all wrong. When the situation arises that a mate must be dumped, the person who wants to end the relationship does more waffling than Joe at the Waffle Express. Since I've been at the receiving end many times, I want to tell all you young lovers how it is done, just so you can prepare to fly free or get depressed. The best way to get rid of your mate s "The Speech." I bet all the girls who have dumped me on this campus can "cite it as well now as they did to me on the days I received it. To all of you vho don't know it word by word, it Joes like this: "(Whoever's name), you re a great guy (or girl), and I really hke you. But I just want to be friends *ith you. Besides, I'm not ready for a relationship right now." The fastest hme I vc ever had that done to me was seconds in line at the Sweet Shop, whilc she was waiting in line for a Coke. At least it wasn't at the finest restaurant in town, right after I ordered a bottle of champagne to go along with ''1c f''ct mignon and duck a l'orange. There are also a couple of lines that change the wording of the speech, but certainly not the intent. How many of yau have been told "you're loo good 0rme .

The anthropology department offers two four-week field study programs, one to Barbados and the other to Honduras., six hours of anthro- Horinc said these programs are a major new venture for ASU. "I hope and expect it to continue to grow," he said. International Studies office works with universities all over the world in many different ways.

In addition, two universities in England, Kingston Polytechnic and Sheffield Uni­ versity, host a study abroad program in conjunction with ASU. The International Studies office is a member of the International Student Exchange Program (ISEP). ISEP allows ASU students to study abroad for a semes­ ter or a year in one of 100 institutions around the world.

Giving up smokes demands support By STEVE COLLINS Appalachian Wellness Center This article is published as a service of the Appalachian Wellness Center located in the Student Support building.The Center provides educational programs, support groups and individual consultation with the goal of helping students improve their health. r v "• November 16 is the day to drop out— from the ranks of smokers and users of smokeless tobacco products, that is. On that day, ASU will participate in the American Cancer Society' s Great American Smokeout. The American Cancer Society spon­ sors the Great American Smokeout each year to encouragesmokers to take a break ffom their cigarettes for 24 hours, just to prove to themselves that they can do it. Dippers and chewcrs are asked to give up their activities as well. 3. Be ready for the urge to smoke to hit and have a plan to handle it, such as: • Take a deep breath, hold it a second, then release it slowly. • Take deep rhythmic breaths similar to smoking to relax. • Think positive thoughts and avoid negative ones. • Brush your teeth. • Chew on carrot sticks, sugarless gum or straws. • Do a brief exercise (isometrics, pushups, deep knee bends, walk up a flight of stairs or touch your toes). • Call your Adoptive Guardian or another supportive friend. • Drink a glass of cold water. 4. Keep your hands busy. (Write a letter, do a crossword puzzle, etc.) 5. Keep your mind busy by rcplanntng your schedule for the day; for example, don't sit around the table long after you've eaten. Get up and take a walk. LEAVE THE PACK BEHIND.. .THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1989 If you would like to quit smoking, you are not alone. According to a recent sur­ vey by the American Cancer Society, approximately 85 percent of current smokers would like to quit. Trying to quit by themselves and staying smoke-free is difficult for many smokers. For these reasons, the Great American Smokeout encourages the "Adopt-a-Smoker" pro­ gram. "Adopt-a-Smoker" materials and survival kits will be given out free at the Smokeout Booth at the Student Union beginning Monday, Nov. 13. There are a number of things a smoker can do to quit during the Great American Smokeout: thinking: * 1 ' " ^ ready for a relationship 1 e Tdl- Y e a h , that's g o o d .T h a t 4 ) ^ ^ tan get free drinks from my date f '' Ac 8° to the party after the . >a" game."

The above driver for Domino's Pizza on E. King Street,doesn't just have to"avoid the noid," but also to avoid problems that slow down productivity. BEHIND EVERY GOOD STUDENT IS A GREAT PARENT: Even though the original ASU Family Weekend was cancelled as a result of Hurricane Hugo, it was later changed to Family Day which took place this weekend before the football game against Marshall. Tours of the campus were given, and parents were also given a chance to talk to ASU administration members. The Appalachian Parents' Associationgreeted parents and students to the university and also answered any questions parents had about ASU. 6. Eat several small meals. This main­ tains constant blood sugar levels and helps prevent the urge to smoke. 7. Wash nicotine out of your body by drinking lots of water, juice and caffeine-free soft drinks. 8. Take a warm shower. 9. When you do go out, go to places where smoking is prohibited— theatres, libraries and churches. 10. Above all else reward yourself. Plan to do something fun for doing your best. (Go to a movie, call your best friend.) 1. Find a friend who will promise ahead of time to adopt you for the day. 2. Get rid of all cigarettes, ash trays, matches and lighters in your home, office and car. Quilting cigarettes is a difficult task but one well worth the effort. Have a friend help you by adopting you for the day. Call the W ellness Centerat 262-3148 and get more information on the Grca American Smokeout. �DON'T let this happen to you!

The Mountaineer defense continued to dominate the game by holding a powerful Thundering Herd team to just seven points in a 28-7 ASU victory last Saturday. ASU held a Marshall team that was averaging over 360 yards per game to only 253 yards. Marshall was averaging 122 yards on the ground, and the Moun­ taineer defense held them to minus two yards. After Marshall took the opening kickoff at their own 18-yard line and drove the ball down to the 37-yard line, their drive stalled. Marshall punted and the Moun­ taineers received the ball for the first time on their own 2-yard line. ASU then ran two plays, on the third play Kevin Hart fumbled, and Marshall recovered it on the ASU 20-yard line. Marshall took the ball down to the ASU two, and then on two consecutive plays the Mountaineers stopped the Thundering Herd and took over on downs. "This was the big turning point of the game," said Head Coach Jerry Moore. Marshall Coach George Chaumph had problems with the goal line stand. "Our phones went out and I didn't know where the ball was," said Chaumph. The drive continued in the second quar­ ter getting the ball down to the5-yard line. On first and goal,Campbell ranaround the left end for the touchdown. The drive went 19 plays for 99 yards and consumed 9 minutes and 38 seconds. This was the first of three touchdowns Campbell had for the day. "I love to run," said Campbell. "I want to be aquarterback who can run and pass. I think a quarter­ back should be able to do that."

ASU drove down to the Marshall Millson's field goal attempt was blocked 48-yard line before the quarter ended. and the half ended with ASU ahead 7-0. The question of what is actually a sport often arises. So I looked up the word 'sport" in the dictionary. In my opinion, the best definition Webster gave us was this: physical activity engaged in for pleasure. Another dictionary said a sport is anything showing competition. When reading the definition, we must relate it to sports that people question, like professional wrestling, auto racing, golf and fishing, just to name a few. Keith Collins received kickoff for the Mountaineer; it 63 yards to the Marshall This return set the stage I second half. Campbell the Melchor for a 13-yard tou and after Millson's extra ix 14-0.

The r was picked off by Dwayne Pelhan, l the Mountaineers were unable to score The next interception was by Dandrid his second of the game. "We knowfe were going to pass a lot,"s r ' ' ~ "I just broke on the ball." See ASUpg.? The first sport that we will address will be professional wrestling. Many say that the whole thing is for real, and the people are really trying to hurt each other in the ring. Well, the whole thing may look very real, but we must look deeper than this. New Jersey law has declared profes­ sional wrestling is just a show. Why, you ask, did the state of New Jersey have to rule on such a stupid thing? The reason is simple insurance. For a sporting event to be held in the state of New Jersey, the insurance is much higher than just for a normal show. I will admit to you, that is just in die state of New Jersey, and in the other states die wresding may be real. But if you think about it, most of the CATCH THE BALL: John Brown (13) watches theball come into his hands. Kemal wrestling organizations are national, find a hole in lhe have ^ Y"* on the season.

Of course this is only speculation, and until the other 49 states pass a law that says it's fake or just a show, I guess it will be specula­ tion. The next sport is auto racing.

Voter turnout should improve Today is election day for the run-off election in the Boone Town Council race, and registered students once again have the opportunity to decide who will represent them for the next two to four years. In the last election on Oct. 10, only 19 percent of the town's 7,908 registered voters bothered to show up to vote in the mayoral and Town Council elections. If the run-off in Boone is similar to those in other cities, then today's turnout will be absolutely dismal. It seems that since the dawn of time, the students have been complaining about town politics and decisions that have been made concerning them. Yet, it seems that when it comes time to register and vote, no one is concerned, i Of course, students are not the only ones who did not take much interest in ' recent elections. The townsfolk really did not fare much better. Most > students, at least, have the excuse that they arc only temporary citizens of ' Boone. So, what's the town's excuse? It is important to note the types of issues that interest the townspeople versus students. It seems that both groups are only interested in a very narrow range of issues. Most students only care about issues related to parties or alcoholic beverage consumption. The noise ordinance is, according to most students, an unfair attempt by the town to control student activities. While they have a good point, other relevant issues should be considered before deciding on a candidate. Townspeople, on the other hand, seem only to care about their own brand of narrowly defined issues. Their issues often seem to be diametrically opposed to the students' interests. Some of the candidates appear to agree with almost everyone, depending upon which group is being addressed. Voters should keep this in mind and not immediately lend their support to someone who seems to be "too good to be true." In any event, all registered Boone voters, regardless of whether or not they voted Oct. 10, are eligible to vote in the run-off election. With strong voter turn out in this election, perhaps voters can redeem themselves. THE FAR SIDE The Appalachian, Tuesday, November 7,1989 JEFF TURNER Et Cetera Editor PRUITT ALLEN COMMENTARY By GARY LARSON For Boone's economic thirst Liquor makes a lot of cents they should be able to walk down to a bar on K' right here in Boone? ®^ I'm sure that everyone has seen the "Just Say Yes"Tshirts that have seemed to crop up all over campus. You know, yellow and black with the Absolut bottle on back —Appsolutely. It seems that the question over the sale of liquor by the drink has recently become an issue in Boone. It only stands to reason that college students would be in favor of liquor by the drink, being the wild impetuous youth we are. On the other hand, there are other, less frolicsome reasons to support the liquor by the drink issue. The largest benefit that would result from the sale of liquor by the drink is the stimulation of the local econ­ omy. Walking down King Street the other day, I realized Boone is becoming a ghost town as far as nightlife is concerned. This semester alone has marked the passing of at least two Boonenightspots. Amadeushas closed and Bash Riprock's has now become a florist. Right, like Boone needs another flower shop. Whatchamacallits' , one of the last cool places to watch a band and pound down a few cold ones, is now for sale and also seems to have gone the way of Amadeus and Bash Rip Rocks. Liquor by thedrink would bring some nightlife back to this fair city of ours. The clubs that have closed because of the ABC percentage sales laws could re-open as fullfledged bars, once again providing an entertainmentstarved student body with a quality nightlife. Liquor-bythe-drmk sales would not only cause more businesses to open, but it would also give a much-needed boost to the area restaurant business which has been in a slump lately.

Why should this happen when See LIQUOR p8. Big politics rule at our small school? By JEFFRY WULFHORST Appalachian Columnist There are things going on at this cam­ pus of which we are unaware. The ma­ nipulative forces of the administration of this university are increasing every day, and we do less and less about it every day. Otif passivity is OUT Call to doom. How much do you know about how others at this campus control you? If you stop to think about it, many discrepancies in equality and fairness of say-so are obvious and evident to the untrained eye. Let us take an example of what can go on at our university that we do not know about. Most ASU students know that John Thomas is the chancellor of the univer­ sity. What most of those students do not know are the policies of Thomas and his administration. (This is no personal attack on Thomas or any particular individual per se, rather a plea for some change, substantive and direct, not lip service.) Although the apathy level here is high in terms of creating change, there is a grow­ ing senseof awareness on thiscampus that students and faculty are a largely unin­ formed body. Each one of us has a respon­ sibility, as part of our education, to de­ mand to know what goes on at our univer­ sity. I question whether the average student knows the issues and debates raised be­ tween the Faculty Senate and the admini­ stration. Further, the average student, which we will assume is yourself, proba­ bly does not know how we are suppressed and exploited by the "higher"levels of the university system. On Monday, Aug. 21, while we were all busy checking our schedules and rent­ ing books, Thomas gave a speech to the university faculty. As far as I know—and this is something that we should all be looking into—this sort of meeting is un­ fortunately closed to students, thus per­ petuating our ignorance of university policy. Even if it were an open meeting to students, who knew or heard about it? Definitely the overall student body did not; I did not see signs at the bookstore announcing a meeting for us to come hear the chancellor speak. If one were to play devil's advocate, true, it was a faculty meeting, but why should students be excluded from any meeting at our university? Our input in our own education seems somewhat worth­ while to me. However, the point I want to focus on in this article is relations between the faculty and the administration. Tho­ mas said to the faculty, "The strength of this comprehensive university is its tal­ ented, dedicated faculty." This is a direct quote, taken from Thomas' speech; use your resourcefulness to find out what you ought to know. So if Thomas really thinks so highly of the faculty, why would he screen salaries and take ultimate rights to decide whether each one of the faculty will get a salary raise? One might think someone has got to do this process, and I cannot deny this obviously; however, it does not have to be done in dictatorial or supreme-rule fash­ ion. Before this semester started, there was an interoffice memorandum circulated that stated "salary-increase funds '...shall be used as determined by the chancellor to be in the best interest of the institution to discover, to uncover; just take the timt award increases to faculty, non-faculty get involved.

We built in the flood plain, covered up creeks, disposed of wasted water in storm twers, placed building androads in less than desirable locations and generally acted b the majority of the population who felt that the United States had unlimited sources and could forever respond toour insatiable demands for energy and space." The university is in the midst of an ambitious building program that includes a new less building, adining facility,parking decks and a student activities center with icre roof. 'If all these projects are handled well, we have an opportunity to enhance the ent," Thomas said.

"For example, East Carolina seems to do very well in attracting black faculty." Phoenix also noted that Western Caro­ lina University has more black faculty than ASU. According to Phoenix, there vokes feelings of both racial and cultural isolation among black professionals. According to Durham, until recently, there has not been an effort at the depart­ mental level or the vice chancellor's level in recruiting minority faculty. He said. T According to the 1989 "Affirmative Action Plan For Equal EmploymentAppalachian State University," "Appala­ chian State University emphatically states that it will provide equal employment opportunities for all persons regardless of race, color, national origin, creed, reli­ gion, sex, age, handicapping condition or related employment requirements." While ASU has had such apian in effect foryears. Assistant to the Vice Chancellor forAcademic Affairs (for minority recruit­ ment) Dr. David Phoenix says the univer­ sity continues to have a low percentage of minority faculty. Dr. David Phoenix The university currently has five fulltime black professors. According to Phoe­ arc some negative connotations, among nix, this represents less than one percent blacks and others not familiar with the of total faculty employed at ASU. region, associated with mountain schools. "We have a very small number of black Phoenix said he feels that this negative faculty on our campus," Phoenix said. perception may be one reason that ASU Phoenix said he feels there are many has difficulty recruiting minorities. reasons why ASU hasdifficulty recruiting minorities. According to Phoenix, other reasons "I personally think that ASU has suf­ include the fact that Boone is a small fered over the years from stereotypical community and has a small black profes­ thinking and that the region has suffered sional population. This situation pro- however, that many steps are now being taken to recruit minorities. "There are a lot of positive, active ef­ forts being made now in recruiting black faculty that just did not exist a couple of years ago," Durham said. One incentive the university recently devised for recruitment of black faculty is regarding departments which hire blacks. "This past academic year, we (the uni­ versity) devised a plan where if a black faculty member is recruited and subse­ quently employed-using the same proce­ dures that anyone else would go through-the department that employed the black faculty member would be rewarded with another position which they could recruit on," Durham said. According to Durham, several black faculty members have been hired through this procedure, but it has been some time since this has happened. Durham said that Dr. Phoenix was the last black faculty member hired. According to Durham, the position of assistant to the vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs (for minority recruiting) was recently created to address the recruit­ ment of black faculty. Durham said that Dr. David Phoenix was hired to fill this position. Phoenix built data banks on black fac­ ulty so that when a position becomesopen he (Phoenix) will know which black fac­ ulty member would be qualified to fill the vacant position. Phoenix would like to see at least one minority faculty member in each of the colleges represented at ASU. According to Phoenix, apredominantly white university's ability to attract quality minority students depends on the number of black faculty that work at the univer­ sity. "There seems to be a direct relationship in terms of (minority) students wanting to come to a university that has American blacks, American Indians and Chinese," Phoenix said. Restrictions placed on campus speech By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Editor's note: Materialfor the follow­ ing article was taken from CPS press releases. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently joined several other universities across the nation in adopting rules which limit what campus residents can say. The rules are a reaction against what some professors and students around the country are calling a re-escalation of campus racial tensions. College Press Service reporters Darcia Dorries and Amy Hudson, attribute a Sept.1-4 riot at Virginia Beach, Va. to "three years of burgeoning racial tensions on campuses nationwide and the August murder of a black teen by white assailants in New York." According to some estimates, as many as 100,000people gathered in the Virginia Beach area during the first weekend in of incidents led to a riot in a black New August for Greekfest, a four-day celebra­ York neighborhood. tion marking the end of summer.

Williams said programs like the Black Student Association, black fraternities and sororities and the Black Gospel Choir help to keep minority students at ASU. Minority numbers up By JULIE F. WILLIAMS and MARK S. WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writers Recent statistics indicate that ASU's total minoritystudent enrollment increased over last year's total. According to the data compiled by Director of Institutional Research, Dr. Bobby Sharp, from Fall 1989 enrollment reports, the university currently has 492 black, 24 American Indian and 144 stu­ dents of other races. In 1988, total minor­ ity enrollment comprised 5.8 percent of ASU's student body. In comparison with the 15 universities in the North Carolina State University System, ASU ranks 14 in black enroll­ ment according to the 1988 "Statistical Abstract of Higher Education in North Carolina." According to the same source, the only university in the North Carolina State System to have a lower percentage of blacks is the University of North Carolina at Asheville. The statistical abstract ranks North Carolina Agricultural & Technical University first with 5,250 black students which make up 85 percent of that university's enrollment. According to Assistant Director of Admissions Harry Williams, ASU has a strong commitment in recruiting minority students. Williams said there was a federal man­ date, called the Concent Decree, issued in 1982, which stated that all schools in the UNC System had to increase their minor­ ity population by a certain percentage based on the geographical area in which the school is located. According toWilli ams, ASUis attempt­ ing to attract minorities by offering schol­ arships based on academics. "The university committed scholarships based on academics for minority students, Gamma Delta fraternity held the party. Guests were given tags featuring Jewishsounding names and names of Nazi lead­ ers. In September members of a University of Mississippi fraternity painted racial slurs on the naked bodies of two white pledges and dumped them on the campus of Rust College, a nearby, mostly black school. The two freshman pledges of BetaThcta Pi had "KKK" and "we hate niggers" painted on their chests. National Beta Theta Pi leaders have suspended the fraternity's charter and plan to investigate, UM Interfraternity Coun­ cil President Brad Gunner said. In August 1988, an arsonist torched a home on the UM campus that was sup­ posed to house the school's first black fraternity, Phi Beta Sigma. On Sept. 27 about 20 University of Masachusetts at Amherst students burst through the back door of the offices of the campus paper "Collegian," to sit-in until Collegian Editor David Mark would agree to resign. He refused. The sit-in was a reaction to an editorial Mark had written where he called United Nations observers on the Israleli-ruled West Bank"sickeningly pro-Palestinian." While people have tossed dirty names at each other before, new anti-racism rules adopted at some schools, like UNC-CH, have made accusations of racism potent weapons that can cost instructors their jobs, student editors their positions and even classmates their college careers. Tufts, Emory, Penn State and Brown universities. Trinity College, and the uni­ versities of Connecticut, Michigan,, Wis­ consin and Pennsylvania, along with UNCCH, recently adopted ruleslimiting speech. Professors and university administra­ tors, along with students, are divided on the issue. 'It's hard enough to get students to speak up (in class), and when they are afraid of the consequences, it only makes it worse," a student at the University of Southwestern Louisiana said. The president of Students Against Racism at Arizona State University said, "If the intention of a remark is to motivate violence, then it's a problem, but if the intention isn't to hurt, then you shouldn't be punished for what you say." Darious Peyton, a Black Student Union leader at Michigan State agreed the new rules should punish only those who mean to harm others, not those who are simply ignorant. 'To educate should be the number one goal of the rules," he said. Today's issue of The Appalachian focuses on the problem of racism in today's soci­ ety. In addition, the news page takes a look at minority recruitment of faculty, staff and students. �The Appalachian, Thursday, November 2,1989 Greeks react to recent grade reports By ANDY SWOFFORD Appalachian Staff Writer . In reaction to the release of Greek grades, the Panhellenic Council praised their scholarship programs while the Interfraternity Council looks into ways to improve fraternity grades.

ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor "Gross Anatomy," the new "comedrama" starring Mathew Modine jnd Christine Lahti, features as its main attractions the extreme charisma of Mod­ ine, a strong performance by Lahti and a cadaver in one of the stronger supporting roles. But what else can you expect from a movie that shares its name with one of the hardest first-year medical school courses any student will face? The movie, which centers around a group of medical school students and the various challenges they face, is by no means perfect, but it's quite an enjoyable film, nonetheless. Modine is the focus of the movie, a pregnated male of the lab group. Miles talented and clownish but lackadaisical Reed (ably played by John Scott Clough), fisherman's son who has always been able for instance, comes off as a total schmuck to get by pretty well on looks, charm and without any motivation shown for his innate intelligence. At school, he comes behavior. He needs some sort of justifica­ upon two reasons to change his attitude: tion for his actions—other than the desire Christine Lahti as the "Dragon Lady" to be a rich, respected doctor that the doctor who teaches him Gross Anatomy, writers required us to infer. and Daphne Zuniga as the girl from his Gross Anatomy lab group with whom he reluctantly falls in love. The plot is well thought out and moves in logical succession, with only a few minor gaps. Although close to a formula film, it has just enough twists to keep it interesting and enjoyable, a real feat in the face of that awful boredom that is promi­ nently possible for any movie of this type. In the end, though, it transcends the for­ mulaic roots of its plot through the per­ formance of Matthew Modine, who has to A real muddle is made of Modine's be one of the most charismatic and under­ roommate, played by David Schreiner. rated leading men working today.

His character in this film falls somewhere between the An unfortunate oversight along those latter two; the role demands a great deal of same lines is the failure to explicate the charm and comedic ability, but also the personalities of any of the lead female range to pull off weighty, serious subject characters.

He, too, was an uninspired student until a strict and driven anatomy professor inspired him to perform up to his abilities. In the final analysis, "Gross Anatomy" is far from perfect.

Closer to home is Alan Parker's "Mis­ sissippi Burning." While the film is obvi­ ously entertaining and thought-provok­ ing, it is also the poorest example of civilrights history you are apt to find. What is more distressing than this, however, is the lack of strong black characters. With the exception of a young boy (Whose strength appears to be Parker's need for a black symbol), black actors in this film decorate scenes more than enhance or charge them. There is no black vitality here; Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe's FBI char­ acter carry the emotional weight. Yes, it is the image of minorities in film (or the lack thereof) that is the most dis­ couraging issue in American cinema. Whenever I think of Darth Vader, I can only visualizean evil mandressed in black with James Earl Jones' voice. What mes­ sage does that image impart to black youths? The situation, however, is not entirely grim. There are some significant films out there that aredefying the system and providing minorities with strong characters aware of and embracing their cultural traditions. Black films by black artists have a long and significant history. Starting with the films of OscarMicheaux during the1930s, blacks have had an alternative source for film entertainment throughout much of the 20th century. It was not until the late 1960s and early1970s, however,thatblack films began to be noticed by a larger audience. Perhaps the most confrontational of black films was Melvin Van Peebles' "Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song." Van Peeble's crude film angrily and des­ perately taunted the national psyche. What it lacked in story or character develop­ ment, it made up in energy and nerve. A new black cinema was bom. During the 70s a number of films emerged to entertain and educate both blacks and whites. Gordon Park's "Shaft" reconstructed the image of the white de­ tective into a new black hero. This film was cool and tough; it had rhythm. Mi­ chael Schultz's engaging study of black youths, "Cooley High," presented a vital­ ity rare to the screen. Schultz's "Carwash" was also successful in presenting tliis vi­ tality as it portrayed young, old, rich and poor black characters interacting. Finally, the growing popularity of comedian and actor Richard Pryor gave America its first bona fide black star, one who not only embraced his heritage but celebrated it. The 1980s have seen closed doors unexpectedly open. The successes of Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby and Prince have broken down many barriers. Black film has moved into new directions. RobertTownscnd's legendary satire, "Hollywood Shuffle" (he paid for the film by running up credit card bills) exposed the film community as an igno­ rant, if not racist, establishment. In one wildly funny vignette, classically trained black actors undergo a demeaning work­ shop in street swaggering, ghetto anger­ ing and prostitute primping. This film's humor has claws. Keenanlvory-Wayans' "I'mGonnaGit You Sucka" is similar in approach. Here Ivory-Wayans is lampooning the bastion of 70s black films—the "blaxploitation" film. Even Prince's "Purple Rain" offers an honest look at struggling black musicians in Minneapolis. These films are alive with emotions, humor and a vitality that is uniqueamong black populations. The most significant memberof the blacknew wave, however, is one of the 1980s' most auda­ cious and exciting filmmaking talents, black or white. His name is Spike Lee. Recently named one of the "25 Ameri­ cans on the cutting edge"by "Newsweek" magazine, Spike Lee has unwillingly become the cultural voice of black Amer­ ica. His vision does present some prob­ lems. Unlike other black artists, Lee does not offer positive role models or tidy reso­ lutions for this audience. Thecharactcrs in his films are not moralistic towers of strength, butconfused playersdeal ing with their own internal contradictory impulses. It is these impulses, however, that fuel his films. Never before have black characters been presented in such a direct and honest manner. In his first film, "She's Gotta Have It," Lee projected black sensuality and sexu­ ality with honesty, wit and humor. It is one of the first films I can recall where blacks fall in love, fall out of love and make key decisions about their lives. After a while one forgets he or she is viewing a film about blacks. This is a film about human interaction. In "School Daze" Lee tackles a more difficult subject—racial prejudice within the community of an all-black college. Here he asks black people to metaphori­ cally wake up and examine their place and their potential for future success and growth. If blacks continue to prejudice themselves according to the degree of pigmentation in their skin, they they de­ feat only themselves. In his greatest achievement thus far, "Do the Right Thing," Lee enters deeper, murkier waters. Lee's story of racial ten­ sion on the hottest day of summer in the Bedford-Stuyvcsant district of Brooklyn is a maelstrom of anger, confusion and hatred. Racism isnot a one-sided issue for Lee, though it is obvious where his opin­ ions fall. The film asks a lot of important ques­ tions, but does not begin to answer any of them. There is no right and wrong, only public acceptance and compliance or public action. What these actions can or will be is the difficult question. Lee con­ cludes his picture with a quote by Mal­ colm X advocating public violence and another quote from Martin Luther King asking for change through nonviolent means. Lee certainly is not asking you to choose, but he docs realize that ambiva­ lence is the culprit. Spike Lee is obviously attempting to educate black people more than entertain whites. What is remarkable and exciting is the fact that he is accomplishing both. He is succeeding in Hollywood on his own terms, not because his films incite intelligent response but because they make a profit. This issue of profit is obviously the bottom line in Hollywood.That is too bad, because the majority of film goers today are white Americans and studios looking for a bottom line will seek it out with them. There are black actors and directors work­ ing, but problems exist here, too. Plugging black actors into traditional white charac­ ters does not solve the problem. These actors arc little more than token players, fine actors playing white characters be­ cause Hollywood realizes there is a black audience out there, but can' t bring itself to reach them. While most of this article has dealt with the minority majority,black films by black artists, there are other films by other filmmakers that also provide intellectual insight. Ramon Menendez' "Stand and Deliver" and Gregory Nava's "El Norte" are two strong examples of hispanic American filmmaking. Jonathan Wacks' "Powwow Highway" offers a Cheyenne Indian perspective on the modem Ameri- EMO PHILLIPS, NATURAL ODDITY: From out of the depths of Downer's Grove, 111. comes Emo Phillips, oddball from another dimension.

To learn more about this pioneer of the dry, incredibly intellectual and off-the-wall wit that made can West. Another worthwhile picture that celebrates hispanics and native American cultures is Robert Redford's "The Milagro Beanfield War." Wayne Wang's "Chan is Missing" and "Dim Sum: A Little Bit of Heart" arc two excellent investigations into Chinese American activity. Finally, Joan Micklin Silver's "Hester Street" and "Crossing Delanccy" are two fine examples of Jewish American culture in the 20th century. America is no longer a "melting pot," it is a mosaic; we cannot expect the variety of cultures in America to melt into the common whole (translated: white AngloSaxons). The concept of multicultural pluralism insists upon the celebration and acceptance of diverse cultures and heri­ tages. Spike Lee, Robert Townsend, Ramon Menendez, Joan Micklin Silver and other minority filmmakers arc strug­ gling with this issue.

Whitney Ball led the Lady Mountain­ eers with a time of 17:13.96 giving her first place in the conference and an allconference selection. Vanessa Kosmala finished a close second behind Ball with a time of 17:18.56. Ball's time was the fastest time ever posted in the conference and at ASU, according to head coach John Weaver. Heidi Barger finished in fifth place and Traci Mclntyre finished eighth, but both were awarded all-conference for finishing in thc top 10 in the meet. The Southern Conference title was the fourth straight for the women, and it was the fifth straight individual championship for a woman from ASU. "It is great to continue the tradition, and we hope to continue in the next couple of years. I was surprised with the fast time of Whitney Ball and Vanessa Kosmala to run that fast time. It was national caliber," Weaver said. "Heidi Barger had a great meet. Her time puts her in the top 10 in the confer­ ence and top 10 on the all-time ASU list," he added. The next meet for the Lady Mountain­ eers will be the NCAA Division I District III Championship at Furman on Nov. 11. The top four teams and the top four other runners will compete in the NCAA Championship on Nov. 20 at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. ASU's men's cross country team was co-Southem Conference Champion, along with EastTennessee State. The top runners for ASU were Pete Vandenberg, who finished third; Brad Dodson, who finished fourth and Todd Walter who fin­ ished fifth. All three runners were named to the All-Conference team. "We are just thrilled to death," Head Coach Al Fereshetian said. "We set our goal at the ished third, VMI finished fourth, WCU finished fifth, UTC finished sixth. Furman finished seventh and The Citadel finished last. The last time the Mountaineers won the title was in 1987. Only the top four teams and four other runners qualify for the NCAA meet. "I believe Pete Vandenberg might have an outside shot (at the NCAA meet)," Fereshetian said.

The finish by Vandenberg was the best finish ever by an ASU runner in the con­ ference meet. Fereshetian was also named Southern Conference Coach of the Year. ASU finished with 53points along with ETSU. The Buccaneers had the top two runners in the conference. Marshall fin- knows there is a chance. "I think we could finish in the top 15 and upsetsome people," he said. "We are in the toughest division in the nation," Fereshetian said."We are also in the largest, with over 77 teams."

The seminar will feature two nationally and locally recognized bodybuilders, Gene Howell and Jodie Knox. The bodybuilding seminar is free and open to all interested ASU students, faculty and staff. Gene Howell and Jodie Knox will each speak for one hour and 55 minutes with a 10 minute intermission between presenta­ tions. "It's going to be a broad spectrum with something for everyone. Beginners to advanced bodybuilders will be targeted. Gene and Jodie will be fielding questions from the audience, so come prepared with any questions you have," said Sherry Crane, Quinn Center fitness and facility coordinator. Both Howell and Knox have been rec­ ognized for outstandingaccomplishments in their respected divisions of bodybuild­ ing. Howell began bodybuilding and competed in the summer of 1980. During his teenage years, Howell competed and won first place and overall in 10 straight contests. Knox has been lifting for four years. She is agraduate of ASU with a bachelor's degree in Physical Education. Knox's ac­ complishments include thc following: Ms. Mountaineer 1987, Ms. North Carolina Heavyweight 1988 and Ms. North Caro­ lina Heavyweight and Overall Champion 1989. "The two arc locals; Jodie is even an Appalachian graduate. Gene does this professionally and is even working with several of our local weightliftcrs to get ready for Mr. Mountaineer," Crane said. She added: "There is a great student interest in weightlifting and bodyshaping here at Appalachian. I think there will be a good turnout." Because of that fact, the Quinn Center will close at 6 p.m. on Nov. 8, to clear and prepare the Quinn Center for the Bodybuilding Seminar. For more information on thc seminar, contact Crane at the Quinn Center (262-3035).

On the receiving end of Gregory's passes are Andre Motley, Ron Darby and Eric Ihnat. Prior to last week's action. Motley had pulled down 31 passes for a total of 548 yards and five touchdowns to lead the conference.

This Thundering Herd alignment has not proved effective as Marshall is sev­ enth in the conference in total defense. They have allowed 2,447 yards in seven games, giving up an average of 349.57 yards per game. The passing defense of the Herd has been damaged since the loss of starting cornerback Derek Grier to an injury. Grier's separated shoulder has sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Through the opening seven games of the season, the Marshall passing defense ranked next to last in the league. Marshall's Dewey Klein led the confer­ ence in number of field goals entering last week's match-up with VMI. Klein had completed 11 ofl3 in the seven games, giving him an accuracy percentageof 84.6.

Presently, Mel­ chor needs only 185 yards to become the first ASU 1,000 yard rusher in three years. The Mountaineers are also ranked fourth in the Southern Conference, but after last week's performance, their ranking is due to rise.

Last year, Darby scored two rushing touchdowns against ASU, leading to a 30-27 Marshall victory. Appalachian Staff Writer As the girls' volleyball team looks toward the end of their season improve­ ment is showing. "I feel we've got a young team this year, but they'veshown signs of improve­ ment. Also, theexperience these girls have gotten will show next year," Said Coach Traci McGee. The Lady Apps played two games at home last week against UNCC and ETSU. Wednesday night the Lady Bucs came to Varsity gym to take on the Lady Moun­ taineers. ETSU came out strong winning the first game 4-15. The Lady Apps came back in the second game, but could not manage to hang on losing 11-15. ASU has one of the top ranked passing defenses in the nation. Dwayne Pelham is leading the team in tackles with 78 and Gary Dandridge is second with 68. The Mountaineers are also ranked in the top 20 in scoring defense. Marshall is ranked in the bottom half of the conference in both rushing defense and passing defense. The Thundering Herd gives up over 18 points per game. Although ASU could not keep hold in the second game, they jumped ahead in the third game of the night and pulled a 156 win. The Lady Apps came upshort in the final game falling 13-15. 'The girls had good defense and offense but our own errors gave us the loss," Coach McGee said. "Kris (Zubay) was setting real well against East Tennessee." There were only five service errors and 10 reception errors which came early in the game. The ladies had eight service aces. ASU quarterback D.J. Campbell has passed for over 900 yards and has a passing completion percentage of over 50 percent. Ritchie Melchor and Joe Briggs are ranked in the top 10 in the conference receiving. Thundering Herd quarterback John Gregory is leading the Southern Confer­ ence in almost every passing category.

She has a sea­ sonal recordof 57 aces, while the previous record was set at 50. Tammy Craig had a hitting percentage of .259,13 kills and six errors in 27 attempts. Craig also had a great game as she had three solo blocks for the night. Sabrina Hill had a hitting per­ centage of .250, three errors and 16 at­ tempts. Carla Andrews led the team with 11 digs. Earlier in the week, the Lady Apps went up against UNCC. The Lady 49'ers went home with a 3-0 win. Scores of the match were 4-15, 11-15, and 3-15. The statistics were low in the UNCC match. Craig had a .214 hitting percent­ age. Holly Shamberger led the team with a .333 percentage. She also had 4 kills in 12 attempts. The service errors were not bad for the night with only six errors. The passing percentage was down early in the match. "Their serves killed our offense and we couldn't rely solely on defense," Coach McGee said. The Lady Mountaineers are fourth in the Southern Conference at the present time. After losing to ETSU, the win put the Lady Bucs into first place. Western Carolina falls behind ETSU in second, Furman is third, and after the Lady Apps, UTC is fifth and Marshall sixth. EVEN The Mountaineers are, so far, undefeated at home this season, winning three out of their four games in Kidd Brewer rather handily. The last loss to Marshall at the stadium was in the 1 -AA playoffs in December 1987. The Apps have also won nine of Intangibles the last 13 meetings with the Herd. ASU victories over Marshall in 1986 and 1987 led toSouthern Conference championships. Appalachian needs to startquick against Marshall and gain an early lead. So far this year, ASU has scored only 12 points in the first quarter. AND THEY CAN'T WAIT TILL NEXT YEAR TO GIVE AGAIN.

J Exploring racism Several years ago it was almost possible for one to believe that racial tension in America had subsided, that America was not two separate nations divided by skin color bound together only by governmental decrees, but one Ration of people united by a past of struggle for both freedom and equality. During the 80s, Americans' ideals of equality have become threatened. Suddenly, the news has been filled with stories reminiscent of the civil rights Rattles of the 50s and 60s. Our generation thought it had overcome the petty, color-based ideas of our forefathers. However, our society is now finding , itself thrust into what is quickly becoming a new age of racism. As ASU students face the start of a new decade, we must ask ourselves what went wrong and how we can prevent this resurgence from dividing us once again. ) Racism is a complex issue not easily defined by skin color or statistical , information based on desegregation attempts. It is the ideas, the feelings and >, the actions of Americans against Americans, and it is slowly tearing away at Ilhe progress America had made following the battles and bloodshed of the i civil rights movement. { In order to combat what is once again becoming a national tragedy, Americans need to once again focus their attention on the classroom, for this is the most effective outlet for our society to fan the flames of racial division or to extinguish them. Most of today's college students grew up in an era of desegregation in the jipublic school system. Although the government succeeded, somewhat, in Tilling the public schools with multi-colored faces, it failed to give all •students the same chance at higher education. > Typically, minority students, along with those who came from financially unstable families, somehow ended up in "crip-courses," while the honors programs consisted mostly of those from the white, upper-middle class (homes. This resulted in the low percentage of minority students who are given the chance at a college education. Anti-black and anti-woman biases |n standardized testing have only exacerbated this problem. |College admission requirements are steadily increasing. How can we expect to see an increase in the number of minority students graduating if they eannot get into an institution of higher learning in the first place? As .Americans, we need to re-evaluate our educational system and give all Students the same chance. 'tj g We have tried to hide the shortcomings of our educational system and iflisguise them as exceptions to the rule. Now, we come face to face with the told reality: Minority students generally are not given the same chance at Jiighcr education as white students; neither are the poor. • Those minority students that are successful in their attempts to further their education face a type of discrimination in the college classroom. | At ASU, all students are required to take two courses in world history. In fhese classes, one learns of the accomplishments and failures of the great Readers and civilizations of the world, or do they? P What about black history? In order for a student to learn about the cultural heritage of the Negro race, he or she must take a course in black history. Why is it that there is a separate category for black history? Why not include it IT in the regular history curricula?Historical events did not discriminate based n the colorof one's skin. Black people died in wars just as white people did. This is a problem facing all public institutions of higher learning, but there re some problems which are unique to ASU. Boone is and has been a typically white community. This is a phenome­ non spread throughout small mountain communities. : It is common knowledge that although a college degree does not ensure Success, it is becoming more and more difficult to be successful in America today without one. v We arc setting ourselves up for a fall. We are creating a dual-class system where those who start with the advantages of being born into a white, middle 0r upper-middle class family continue to get the advantages, while the poor £nd the minorities face the timeless struggle to break out of the cycle. \ Rules are made to be broken, however, and the minority students at ASU proveit. But thefactthat there areonly660 minority students herealsoshows ijhat something is wrong. Appalachian is currently ranked 14th of the public universities in North Carolina in terms of black and minority enrollment, picre arc only five full time black educators here. Something has got to thange. | The fact is that the only way to prevent anyone from being prejudiced is to promote exposure to and knowledge of whatever one's views are slanted against. The methods used in this effort, however, are far ffom clear to any $ne of us. (' Just as there is no simple answer to the reasons behind racism, there is no simple solution for it either. One step that needs to be taken today is to realize that there are racial tensions and that it is up to us to ease them. Perhaps there jyill never be a perfect solution. America may slip further into the past when facial tension dominated everyday life. If we do not do something now, it's jiound to happen. ^ We hold our future in our hands. As tomorrow's leaders, it is up to us to make the change.

ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor Perhaps the most distressing political news this year was the election of ex-Ku Klux Klansman David Duke to a seat in the Louisiana state legislature. Some of the pundits examining the event have said that Duke's election really wasn't that big a deal, that we have nothing to fear from his demagoguery—after all, the 81st State Legislative District is 99.6 percent white, there was no incumbent to lock down the seat as they nearly always do, and he only won by 227 votes or 1.4 percent. Perhaps his election was an isolated incident. Still, it points to some distress­ ing aspects of our society and to a rather interesting dynamic that has built up in Southern politics over the last 30 years or so. The problem facing us now is to assess the meaning of David Duke's election, and, assuming that a repeat is undesirable (as you must, if you are capable of rational thought), figure out exactly what we can do to prevent it from happening again. First, about David Duke's background and ideology—he grew up in an all-white neighborhood in New Orleans, thenmoved to Metairie, an all-white suburb. He never knew any black people while he was younger; the impetus for his flight into the protective robes of the KKK was a book: "Race and Reason: A Yankee View." His first real father-figure was the man who formed the Louisiana Knights of the KKK, James Lindsay. After Lindsay s murder, Duke incorpo­ rated the Klan and placed himself under salary as president, eventually rising to national director and grand wizard. He was the man primarily responsible for the takc-the-robes-off media transformation that brought the Klan to "Donahue" and "Nightline" in a new, somewhat more respectable guise. Duke learned how to use words that glossed over the real meanings of his policies—words that he still uses today, words like "set-asides" and "affirmative action" in the place of "ghetto-dwelling welfare cases" or "inferior races." He also learned the truth about our image-based society: the way to get any­ one to do what you want them to is to become a chameleon, change with the times, lie and obfuscate and twist your views for the public's consumption, and never let them know what you really are. In the age of Reagan, when image counts Myths span decades By GREGORY PERSON Appalachian Staff Writer Ebonophobia (e bon' o pho' be uh) n. 1) the fear of or aversion to dark-skinned races. 2) the biased or illogical fear of Negro supremacy.3) the fear of darkness, syn. Negrophobia, prejudice, atraphobia. There is indeed one type of ebonophobia in most American people-atraphobia or the fear of darkness. This fear stems ffom the handed-down fear of not the darkness itself, but moreover what is in the dark­ ness. In most equatoral regions and other areas where darker-skinned people are dominant, ebonophobia isa concept unre­ alized and unnecessary. In those regions, darkness (blackness) is considered beau­ tiful, romantic and soothing. In the United States, however, blackness plays a less complimentary role. The adjective "black" or "Black" has been given its place among diabolic, sinful and destructive terminol­ ogy. (i.e. black magic, black market, black list, black humor...) The concept of "black"as evil began in slavery times.The oppressive White slavemasters considered their slaves as mem­ bers of another species (perhaps "Negre sapicn" or "Equus travaille"). They sepa rated themselves from the slaves com pletely. Slave women were labelled by the wives of their slaveowners. Because of the full­ ness of their bodies, these women often had conjugal visits from "Massah." Their wives became jealous that their husbands' attentions were focused elsewhere and began to spitefully strike back.They began telling their children to "stay away from those niggra devils. They's evil. Some of dat black tar's goan ruboff on you." These women, the wives of the slaveowners, fit both the first and second definition of ebonophobia, for they feared that the "sappling wenches"of their spouses would somehow succeed them as "belle of the plantation." Black slave men were dually labelled. White plantation women can be credited with the possible myth that the genitalia of the Negro male is larger than that of their white husbands. This "myth" started as a means of striking back at their hus­ bands' adulterous behaviors, but soon became an excuse for the ladies to proceed Sec MYTHS pp, o for more than reality, the shave and the haircut get you a lot more than two bits.

Blacks are naturally less intelligent as a race. Even if they were given their "equal opportunities" they could not and would not excel. 3. Predominately black universities do not provide the quality of education as do their predominately white counterparts. Students who attend these schools are never prepared to enter their fields of study. 4. All blacks arc criminal by nature. Given the opportunity to commit a crime, the black will ultimately commit it. 5. Because most blacks' ancestry began in Africa, all blacksare able to sing, dance, and participate athletically superior to the other races. These are the only areas in which they will ever excel. These statements are all biased. Just as these statements would not be true about all members of the Jewish faith, a study body, a business firm, or a neighborhood, they are not all true about all blacks.

As with spring break, the other nation­ wide collegiate festival, many schools are promising crackdowns and rule changes to try to prevent someof the problems and even injuries that have plagued campus Halloween celebrations in recent years. The Town of Greenville, N.C. and East Carolina University have joined together to cancel the annual Halloween event that usually draws crowds of between 20,000 and 40,000. Greenville City Manager Secretary Rima Britt said the part was cancelled this year due to the large number of arrests and the unknown extent of personal injury to citizens in past years. "We had so much vandalism in the past,"Britt said, "not just personal and property damage, but people were getting hurt." According to Britt, the town and uni­ versity are not blaming students for the problems that have been associated with the party in the past, 'fit's not the stu­ dents," Britt said, "it's the groups that come in from smaller towns around the area. We are not saying to the students from other colleges that they have been coming down and have been rowdy and the cause of all the problems. They are just adding to the crowd." Britt said that crowd control was the primary reason for the cancellation. "It has gotten to the point in the past that the police cannot control the crowds," she said: "There won't be as many people downtown this way. We are mainly con­ cerned for the students' safety." According to Britt, bars in downtown Greenville will voluntarily close at 6 p.m. with restaurants closing the doors at 9 p.m. Britt said the police also have backup support from area military police if any­ thing does happen. "We're not expecting to have a problem, though," she added. "This will not be a pleasant place to be on Halloween," said Jack Dyer, Director of University Relations at Southern Illi­ nois University in Carbondale. Jack Dyer said SIU was one of the first schools to Today's Forecast: Variably cloudy with a of showers.

But SIU's much-copied Halloween bash has grown to host more than 20,000 people who crowd streets, throw beer bottles and hurt each other. Similar problems have plagued college costume parties at the universities of Massachusetts at Amherst, Florida, Colo­ rado and other schools. No one is sure how all this started, or how Halloween, of all days, turned into the biggest college party night of the year. Ernest Kaulbach, aprofessorof Middle English at the University of Texas, says it derives from the students' childhood prac­ tice of putting on costumes and trick-ortreating. "Now it gives them the chance to puton a costume and party," he said. But it's more than just an excuse for a party, says Chech, a University of Miami student who goes by just his last name. "There will be parties no matter what, but Halloween is different because there is more to the party than just drinking five kegs." According to legend, All Hallows Eve gives devilssix hours starting at midnight on Oct. 31 to do all the evil they can before they have to go back to hell in the morn­ ing, Nov. 1, the start of All Saints Day. The tradition of trick or treating comes from treating the devils well so that they won't play tricks. On campuses, the tricks sometimes turn dangerous. Some revelers at the University of Mass achusetts at Amherst v andal ized local stores in 1979, prompting officials to im­ pose a five-year ban on school Halloween parties. In 1985 at the University Of Illinois at Champaign campus, windows were smashed, bonfires were lit, fistfights erupted and party-goers were showered with glass from broken beer bottles. A visiting Northwestern University student was struck in the head with a beer bottle, and lapsed into a coma. He later had to undergo brain surgery. SIU's 1988 "celebration" was similarly tragic. More than 300 people went to the hos­ pital because of lacerations on the face from broken bottles, one person was stabbed and a woman was raped, SIU stu­ dent president Tim Hildebrand said. In response, many colleges and college towns are moving to dry up Halloweens with new rules and regulations this year. A University of California at Santa Barbara committee made up of students, administrators and local authorities is going door-to-door to preach about using alcohol safely, and to discourage students from inviting out-of-town guests for Hal­ loween. The committee alsosent letters to nearby communities, hoping they'll discourage their residents from going to Isla Vista, UCSB's town, to party. The program is working so far, said Diedre Acker, assistant to UCSB's dean of students. Acker said in 1988 only about half the usual 30,000 people showed up. Boulder, Colo, police will be out to enforce public drinking laws atthis year's "Mall Crawl," the University of Colorado fest that began as a small party in 1909 and has grown into a rowdy mass of 40,000 people, reported Frank Grey, who heads the city's efforts to control the event. University of Texas at Austin officials, in turn, take a laissez-faire stance toward Halloween, letting the city figure out how to control the 60,0000-plus crowd. People dressed in costumes gather on Sixth Street, a seven-block stretch of bars and dance clubs. The area is closed to traffic and 214 police officers will be on hand. COPS AND...STUDENTS?: Slowly but surely, Halloween has becomethenational student holiday. As it has also become one of the most violent days on campuses, • many schools are hiring police and even inventing "fall breaks" to end the revelry. National surveys, reports and test results raise the question: How effective is our educational system? Appalachian Staff Reports All collegestudents should have to take at least 50 credit hours of humanities courses to graduate, said National En­ dowment for the Humanities Chairman Lynne Cheney in one of the first collegelevel refoim calls of thesix-year-old school reform movement. If adopted, the report's suggestions would radically change how most stu­ dents go to college. Cheney said the changes would force students to learn the "basic landmarks of history and thought," satisfying critics who use surveys showing some colle­ gians' unfamiliarity with certain geogra­ phy, history and literary facts as proof colleges don't educate people well. in the Rosen Concert Hall.

From the National Weather Service... Tuesday October 31, 1989 The NEH's report, titled "50 Hours," calls on colleges to strengthen their gen­ eral education requirements by concen­ trating a core of learning around cultures and civilizations, foreign languages, mathematics, natural sciences and the social sciences. The suggested core would require 50 semester hours of studies which would take a full-time student nearly two years to complete. "Entering students often find few re­ quirements in place and a plethora of offerings," Cheney said, and added as a result, these students skip from class to class thoughout their college careers with "little rationale" or any sort of consistent pattern. The report is the first since President Bush's "education summit" with the nation's governors at the University of Virginia Sept. 27-28 where he agreed to set national school goals, almost exclu­ sively for pre-college education. Bush and 49 governors said they would set definite performance goals for schools by early next year and agreed to leave meeting the goals up to the states. The summit produced only one goal for higher educational institutions—to make college more accessible. Reaction to the NEH report has been mixed, with some university officials praising the suggestions and others label­ ing them as "absurd." Tulane University English Department Dean James Kilroy said, "A college edu­ cation should be more than just a technical kind of training." University of Nevada at Reno Engi­ neering Dean Walter Johnson said, "I think a 50-hour core curriculum would be ab­ surd." "I think people from humanities get as focused if not more focused than engi­ neers areaccused of being," Johnson said. "They oftenlook at their world as the only world, and they fail to see the world around them." Johnson said he thinks even a 36-hour core is too much. "They no longer have time to explore," he said. Nationwide, the average college gradu­ ate in 1988 took 1.5 more credit hours of humanities than did the average graduate in 1984, the NEH found. However, they concluded that most colleges don't make students take enough humanity courses. The report also found that four out of every 10 colleges let students graduate without ever taking a history courses. Nearly 45 percent didn't make students take English or American literature classes, while 62 percent didn't require philoso­ phy, and 77 percent didn't require foreign languages. Some professors feel that students should get general knowledge in high school, not college. American Association of University Students head Thomas Goldstein said, "I don't know if it's necessarily a job for higher education." According to Cheney, the survey re­ sults prove that colleges need to revise their curricula so that undergraduates get a broad education. Others, while acknowledging students should know basic facts, didn't think the survey results are an indictment of higher education. "Although we can do a better job, let's not throw up our hands and say that we're hopeless,"said Kilroy. 'To be able to read 'The Tempest,' that's what's important." Goldsteinsaid, "The testitself iscircum­ spect" and feels that it may not be as important as it is being made to look. "Do I have to know these things to be a good citizen?" Goldstein asked. The NEH survey was released shortly after results released from the 1988 Scho­ lastic Aptitude Test showed that years of slow progress by women and minority students on the SAT stalled during the last school year. Average combined scores of the SAT, sponsored by The College Board and administered by the Educational Testing Servicein Princeton, N.J., dropped apoint from last year to 903. U.S. Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos called the results "disheartening at the end of a decade marked by substantial education reform efforts." Co-Author of "Standing Upto the S AT," a publication of the Massachusetts-based watchdog group FairTest said the lastest scores "prove that the College Board and ETS have failed to address the issue of bias.... The SAT is simply not a level playing field for women and minorities." Other studies reveal that nearly twothirds of the students who became Na­ tional Merit Scholarship semifinalists in 1989 were males. FairTest said the phe­ nomenon was more proof that standard­ ized tests are biased against females. FairTest also claims that some educa­ tors are helping their students cheat on standardized tests. A report released by FairTest said that cheating is causing mislcadingly high scores on the SAT. In the NEH's report, Cheney urges trustees and administrators to support faculty members who are working to strengthen general education require­ ments. She also encourages alumni, par­ ents and students to work for reform. Cheney said: "It is through the curricu­ lum that college and university faculties establish a design for education. It is through the curriculum that they commu­ nicate what i t is an educ ated person should know." A required course of study, Cheney said, gives order and coherence to a col­ lege education. "It provides a context for forming the parts of education into a whole." Turn the page ...

I'm not sure which I enjoyed more—all the candy my sister and I collected door-to-door, or dressing up as a character just short of the real thing. I guess Halloween was a sort of magical time, full of mystery, where my sister and I could be anything our hearts desired if only for a day. My mother could, somehow, always pick out just the right piece of clothing that would make my costume perfect and make my sister and me feel like we were the scariest, funniest or just plain craziest people alive. Now that I'm too old to Trick-orTreat, I sit around and reminisce about Halloween when I was a little girl. I remember the time that my sister and I left to go trick-or-treating and then to the annual church Halloween carnival. When we got home, we realized my father had polished off four bags of tandy that had taken us most of the night to collect. Needless to say, we cried; my father became gravely ill, and my mother vowed never to let him forget it. After that Halloween, my sister and I faithfully counted every piece of candy in our bags, just in case. 1 can remember the time my mother took my sister and I to Roses to buy our Halloween costumes and instead of picking a lovely princess costume or a "Barbie" costume, my sister and I picked ape costumes. Yes, my sister and I went as creatures from the show Planet of the Apes." Not only did the neighborhood kids think we were "eird, my mom refused to let us watch the show anymore. We loved that show! I can remember all the fun Hallow­ een used to represent.

Or how about the old timey {host stories you used to sit around a fire and tell each other? That's before the world became crazy and people started putting razor blades in candy.

Unfortunately, she misses living in a haunted room just because it was a dis­ tinction. As she said, "How many people do you know can actually claim that one of their roommates was a ghost?"

Coffey Student Court promotes campus justice By CHASE HOLCOMBE Appalachian Staff Writer Many students at ASU have experi­ enced Student Court, whether they've wanted to or not. Student Court handles cases involving violations of university policy by students. In the court, defendants are prosecuted, defended and sentenced by fellow stu­ dents. All sanctions by the students are approved by administrators. Several changes have taken place in Student Court this year. One such change is the new penalty for alcohol-related offenses. Students are now required to attend an alcohol workshop held by the Wellness Center staff and to pay a $25 fine Bring your rice to "Rocky" By KEVIN HARTBARGER Appalachian Staff Writer You enter a dark room filled with men dressed in drag, women in very skimpy outfits and some people fading away into some androgynous blur.

The class gives information about alcohol and responsible drinking throughactivities like group discussion and role playing. "The only problem that the instructors of the class are facing is the students come in with an attitude about the money," Public Defender Kathleen Ash said. "A lot of people are under the assumption that the $25 fee is going to the Wellness Cen­ ter. Actually, it's just going to the univer­ sity in general to fund another program," she added. Officers in the Student Court believe that the added fine has been a factor in the number of alcohol related cases they have tried this year. In August of 1988, 96 percent of the cases tried in Student Court were alcohol violations. In August of this year, that percentage dropped to 73. "I think people are being more careful and maybe more responsible," Ash said. The work of the Student Court has been made more efficient with the instal­ lation of computers.They are now able to use computerized dockets, and they are moving through cases at a quicker pace. Cases are usually tried within a few weeks of the incident, whereas in the past, they have been 50 to 100 cases behind. Chief Justice Glen Roseman said: "In the years that I have been in it, there have been improvements in Student Court. Each year has been a better year than before." The attitudes of the students being brought to court vary. Factors affecting this can be the student's attitude in gen­ eral, the violation with which he is being charged, and the attitude of the person who filed the charge. A student can be brought to court by Security, RAs and RDs, as well as by the university and other students. Although most cases arc alco­ hol-related, other charges include assault and battery, theft and damage to univer­ sity property. The Student Court is currently trying to better educate students on its procedures and standards. Pamphlets that outline Student Court procedures and sentences are put in each student's post office box. Officers are also speaking to RAs and RDs around campus in hopes that they, too, will be better educated. "This way, when RAs and RDs write upa person, they can be his first source of information," stated Ash. The court also wants students to under­ stand the policies it follows. Ash said, "Student Court is not so much a punitive system as it is an educational system." The effectiveness of the court is a direct reflection on the current staff. Adminis­ trators trust the court's decisions and feel it uses sound judgement in making them. Students take Student Court seriously, and they treat the officers with respect Cooperation from the defendant is a key asset in every case. The new Student Court staff is commit­ ted to giving every student a fair trial. Every officer tries to keep an open mind when considering each case. Deputy At­ torney General Michelle Simmons said: "The public defender's office and the at­ torney general s office are working to­ gether, and these students are going to be treated fairly. They're going to get a fair chance." Halloween means many Batmen By JONATHAN E. HOLLAND Appalachian Staff Writer al/th'01'161 St'" Believes he gives it to j e children on the street.

Instead, the Stadium HeightsCluster RSA invited children from Hardin Park Elementary School to a special Halloween party. What are going to be the hot looks for this Tuesday night? What's in for the night to go out? Over the years many different styles and fashions have sur­ faced on theominous Oct. 31. Here'swhat will appear this year. K and K Toys commented on this years fashions. The hit movie "Batman" has definitely left its mark on this year's fes­ tivities. Batman and the Joker are proving themselves to be the most popular items this year. This issupposed to be a one-year hit though, unless there is a sequel as big as the first. Expect to see the usual group of ghosts and goblins and ghoulies this Halloween as have been seen over all the rest. "The old standbys," according to Jowayne Eppler of K and K Toys, are still popular: witches, Frankenstein's monster, Dracula, the mummy, and even clowns, prin­ cesses, pirates, Garfield, lions and tigers will roam the streets of Boone in search of high-calorie plunder. Last year's hit was the five-time movie star Freddie Krueger. He is expected to be seen, but not as much as in years past The popularity of the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies had faded a little by the time the fifth film in the series rolled around. Also, parents are not too happy with their beloved little child dressing up as a fiend who slashes little children with metal claws. Even so, Freddie's not out of style quite yet. Halloween paraphernalia seems to be on the rise. It was reported that rubber bats and spiders were becoming more and more popular items. Slime and Halloween toys are also the creepy delight of imps across this nation. Glow-in-the-dark items are selling more than they have in years past. Spider web decorations similarly share the attention of young monsters (and some older ones too). More and more of Amer­ ica is becoming possessed with this un­ earthly masquerade. Not many ASU students areplanning to dress up for Halloween. That seems to be the habit of the young trick-or-treatcr. One high school student decided to dress as "Cousin It" from "The Addams Fam­ ily." Years past have presented aliens, the blue nun. Elvira, a pygmy golfer, beer cans and one flasher sent home after about 10 minutes for showing foam rubber breasts. Whatever students choose to be this year, they should remember to have fun, but be careful. People can be and have been hurt when a "nranW"opi^o'ii of h-mH �The Appalachian, Tuesday, October 31,1989 »* "Rocky" Continued from pg. 3 pation version or the one with just the songs should do. The basic purpose be­ hind this exercise is to know a few of the songs do. The basic purpose behind this exercise is to know a few of the songs before you attend. It isn't important that you know the nines word for word. You just need to know bits and pieces of them and where they appear in the film. There are also two songs in the movie that are not included on the "just songs"soundtrack Rocky's "The Sword of Damocles" and Frank s Planet Schmanet Janet." Don't let this confuse you. The one song that you must know be­ fore you enter the theater is "The Time Warp. Ifyoucan'tsingthissongyouwill be exposed as the "virgin" that you are. There is a lot of sudience participation during this scene. You'll be able to sing, dance, clap, cheer and yell responses. Every character in the movie,except Frank, is mvolved in the production, so it proba­ bly has the biggest audience involvement. For the uninitiated, here are simple directions to "The Time Warp" dance. First, jump to the left. Then, step to the right—kick your right leg three times to the side while standing in place. Next, put your hands on your hips (your own hips!) and pull your knees in tight. Finally, do the pelvic thrust until it drives you insane. During this final maneuver, be sure to scream "ooh-ah" in rhythm to the music. Your cue to begin this dance is given by the narrator. He also has "how-to"charts, in case you forget these instructions. A final note to you "Virgins": it may be a good idea to go with people who know what they are doing. The movie is really fun, but nothing can quite compare with the possible humiliation at the hands of the more experienced. In addition, if you are the least bit offended by sexual and scatological profanity, do not attend the CXKLzY movie. The audience responses are very risque and are very funny in their place. It is not for the faint-of-heart. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" will be presented as part of a Halloween dou- bleheader at Legends. The frivolity be­ gins at 9 p.m. with "Little Shop of Hor­ rors." Admission is S3. This Appalachian Halloween tradition has to be seen to be believed.

Friday had the wonderful parade showing off the 10 Homecoming Queen finalists, as well as the wonder­ ful floats made by the residence halls. The winner of the best float award was Winkler Residence Hall. It was a great float that took a lot of time. But "the best float made in a short period of lime" award has to go to Frank Residence Hall which threw charcoal to the onlookers and had a classic statement on the back of the truck. It said, "Our buns are not stale." The actual game time finally came, but this was not like the other home Mites. Instead of the crowd waiting until midway through the first quarter o arrive, most of the 20,122 people »ere there before the opening kickoff. Before the game started, three tletes presented Jim Garner and a tuthern Conference official a contract ned by athletes saying they will stay ig free fora.ycar. Also, all the players wore red sweat bands which sere given to kids after the game. The captains for ASU were all of the seniors. And of course the luck of the Mountaineers reigned. ASU won the coin toss and deferred it to the second half. Like in the past, ASU scored first with a field goal, and not a touchdown, hy Millson kicked another field goal, hut then UTC scored. Everyone in the stands remembered what happened last year with the loss to Furman. Would ASU come out and play in the second half? With halftime on the day of Homecoming comes the crowning of the juccn. The winner was announced; n Parker was crowned. After she 'cccived her crown, the game was back "everyone's mind.

The Mountaineerscame out to play this Saturday as the Homecoming crowd of 20,122 watched ASU win 41 -7 over UTC. The win was highlighted by Ritchie Melchor breaking the 38-year-old single game rushing record. Melchor rushed for 267 yards breaking theold record by eight yards. After the game Melchor was asked how he felt. "I am happy," he said. "I guess 267 yards is pretty good." The win keeps the 15th ranked Moun­ taineers' hopes of a playoff berth still alive. With a win this weekend over Marshall they will almost be assured one. UTC received the opening kickoff but was unable to make any ground on the tough Mountaineer defense. The Mocca­ sins were forced to punt, giving ASU good field position. ASU took the opportunity and drove down to the UTC 12-yard line, using both running and passing plays. But Campbell fumbled on the 12-yard line and lost 3 yards, which forced the Mountaineers to kick a field goal. Jay Millson kicked the field goal and ASU led 3-0. The Moccasins, once again, were un­ able to muster anything against the tough Mountaineer defense. Again, they were forced to punt. This time the punt went all the way back to the ASU 9-yard line. The Mountaineers took the ball and drove down the field. Using only running plays, the Mountaineers drove all the way down to the UTC 17 yard line. Rocky Clay was thrown for a 2-yard loss, and, once again, the Mountaineers were forced to kick a field goal. Millson's kick was good and ASU held a 6-point advantage. Alter the ASU field goal, the Mocca­ sins took the ball on their own 20-yard line, and using the pass as well as the run, broke the Mountaineer defense for the first time that day. The Moccasins drove to the goal line then scored on a 1-yard run by Cedric Smith. After the extra point was good, UTC took a 1 -point lead. Each team had two drives stopped by the other team's defense, forcing both teams to punt. At halftime the Moccasins held a 1 -point lead. With the start of the second half, the Mountaineers began to play. On their first possession, ASU started on their own 34 yard line. Relying on the passing of D.J. Campbell and the running of Melchor, the Mountaineers drove to the UTC 16-yard line. Campbell then completed a pass to Ivan Copney for 16 yards and the first Mountaineer touchdown of the day. The 2-point attempt failed, and ASU led 12-7. This time the Mountaineers used a mix of the run and the pass to drive down the field against the Moccasin defense. On a third and goal from the UTC 6-yard line, Campbell ran it in giving the Mountain­ eers a commanding 34-7 lead. Both teams then committed turnovers. Gary Dandridge intercepted a UTC pass, and Kemal Atkins fumbled. But neither turnover amounted to any points after ,>!>0ke'1 Using the running attack to full advan­ tage, the Mountaineers drove down to the UTC 2-yard line. Campbell rolled out to his right and threw a touchdown strike to Jeff Dudan. The extra point by Millson was good, giving the Mountaineers a 277 lead. The Moccasins were able to get one first down on this drive but no more, as the Mountaineer defense stiffened. After a 53-yard punt by Pumpy Tudors, ASU took over on their own 20-yard line.

Rex has led lite Mountaineers to four Southern Conference titles. First in 1981, then in 1982, 1985 and in 1989. He was named Southern Conference Coach-ofthe-Year in 1984 and 1985. "The titles in 1985 and 1989 are special to me, because these were the kids that I recruited. I could see them building and maturing as they worked toward winning," Rex said. There are four seniors on the '89 squad: Chris Malmfelt, Doug Kidd, Brian Flynn and Kris Svensson. Malmfelt who was a member of the 1985 squad is the only senior with a conference title feeling. In Southern Conference play, the Mountaineers remain undefeated with a record of4-0-0. In 18 seasons as amember of tire Southern Conference, ASU has compiled a 91-10-6 league mark. The Mountaineers have won 12 Southern Conference titles in the last 18campaigns. The Mountaineers won six consecutive crowns from 1977-1982. They won four in a row from 1972-1975. ASU and Furman each captured five Southern Conference titles since 1980. ASU's unblemished league mark in 1989 has been a record for the Mountaineers since 1984. Against current Southern Conference members, ASU has an overall record of 55-6-2. They are 14-1-1 against The Cita­ del, 13-1-0 against Marshall, 21-0-0 against Virginia Military, and 17-4-1 against Furman. The four wins over those teams this year marked the first time since 1985. Through 16 matches in 1989, ASU has played in 11 shutouts. All five losses this year have been by shutout. The seven shutout victories for the Mountaineers are the most since 1986 and are more than the total shutouts in the 1987 and 1988 sea­ sons combined. The 1989 team became the 11th soccer squad at ASU to post 10 or more victories in a season. They were fourth to capture 10 or more wins under Rex. By winning the 1989 Southern Confer­ ence Championship, Rex became only the third coach in the league's history to claim four or more conference titles. Former ASU Head Coach Vaughn Christian had five titles and current Furman HeadCoach John Tart also has five titles. Scott Griffith, a 5-foot-8-inch fresh­ man, leads the category of game winners with five game-winning goals. Carlos Lee, a 5-foot-7-inch junior, follows with Goalkeeper Earl Morgan, had 64 saves for the season which placed him ninth on the single season list at ASU. Morgan, a 5foot- 11-inch sophomore, has 80 career saves which is good enough for the sixth all-time record. He falls behind David The Moutaineers will begin playing in the conference tournament Saturday at Greensboro. The tournament begins Thursday, but the Moun­ taineers will not play until Saturday. three. JohnCerak, a 6-foot junior, has two game winners, while Andy Salandy, a 5foot-11-inch junior, follows up with one. Lee and Cerak each have been honored this season as Southern Conference play­ ers-of-the-week. Lee earned his honor the week of Sept. 18-24. Cerak was honored Oct. 15-22. For the first time since 1985, a Mountaineer,Carlos Lee, had three goals in a game. BrodeTick, a 6-foot~4-inch sophomore, who has recorded 117 saves during his soccer career at ASU. Brian Flynn, a 6foot-l-inch senior, has a tie for eighth place on the ASUcareerlistwith21 goals. Lee comes in 10th with 20 career goals. Also, Lee has 14 assists, which ties him for eighth place on the all-time ASU list. Cerak comes in with 11 assists for his career, and Salandy has 8 assists.

Ifj^ r l l S t n g M a n a 8'r * * r e a c h e d a t 2 6 2 - 2 1 5 7 ; t h ee d i t o r i a l s t a f f m a y b e r e a c h e d Fee increases: are they necessary? The Student Senate will be voting soon on next year's proposed student fee increases which total an additional $245 that students may have to pay. While some of these fees are justified, others should be carefully considered before the senate votes. Among the proposed changes is a $90 increase in annual housing costs. This total can be broken town into $40 room fees (additional personnel and operational functions) and a $50 increase in board fees (additional personnel and increase in food prices). There does not seem to be any real justification in an increase to aid Food Services which already makes a profit from students. Also, citing reasons such as additional personnel is characteristi­ cally vague on the part of the university. The budget proposals also show an additional $5 increase in the student facility fee. This increase seems justified, considering the large amount of * t* construction that will be taking place at the univerisity over the next five s< years, and students should expect this category to continue to rise in the !' coming years. If the university is going to build new building, then the students will have to pay. The most dreaded increase for students is the proposed $40 increase in student parking fees. If this sounds familiar, it is because in 1987 a large increase was implemented which brought the total to the current fee of $50. What justification did the university have for raising the fees in 1987? The university promised that the additional money would go to the construction of parking decks. So, where are they? What justification does the university have for raising the fees in 1990? Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette says the increase will go toward a parking deck for approximately 300 cars. This promise sounds just a bit familiar. In addition, Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr. Dave Mclntire has said that parking fees could be increased even more at a later date. If the students were able to see something tangible coming out of these parking increases, then perhaps the fees would not seem so unfair. In all fairness to the powers that be, most students realize that the state will not allocate any money toward parking deck construction. Yet, parking ticket revenue could be used to finance some of the construction costs. SG A President Brad Edwards will represent the students at the December meeting of the Board of Trustees. However, Edwards' vote will just be one among a board of 15. If the university wants morestudent input, then it should give the students more voting power concerning things that affect them. This gives the SG A the added responsibility of having to give irrefutable reasons why they are for or against a certain fee change. Even with this, the trustees still have the power to easily overrule what the students think. This certainly destroysany illusions that anybody other than high-ranking admininstrators has any real decision making power at this university. THE FAR SIDE C iM3 Chrome* Fmiutm DWributwJ by UmvwMiPr»M Syv*cat« By GARY LARSON 10-30 When we become adults Choice is our burden Are we playingGodl By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Columnbt Although generally thought of as a women's rights issue, abortion is in some ways broader and in others not as broad as that If attempts to outlaw abortion are suc­ cessful in North Carolina, it will not be all women whose personal liberties are in­ fringed upon; infringement of rights will only extend to the poor and lower class women who genuinely need the abortion option. A woman with the personal fi­ nances will have the luxury of traveling to another state where abortion is legal and safe. Lower-income women who find them­ selves with an unwanted pregnancy will be forced to resort to unsafe means which are often dangerous to the mother. Uppermiddle-class and wealthy women will be immune to the influence of the right-tolife movement which seeks to impose its moral standards on everybody. The fact is that abortion will continueas it always has, even before the Roe vs. Wade decision of 1973. The only question is, "Will abortion remain everyone's per­ sonal choice or only the choice of those with substantial financial means." The abortion fight in this country cen­ ters on individual rights. The individual rights of every American are at stake. The fundamental question we must ask our­ selves is who decides personal and moral decisions for us. Do we, as individuals, make thechoice or do the government and extremist pressure groups? There is noquestion who the anti-abor­ tionists want making the decision. The anti-choice people will justify (or at least try to justify) their stance by saying the individual they are concerned with is the unborn baby. This position seems some­ what peculiar when you consider that the same peopie who care so much about that unborn baby often oppose any govern­ ment assistance to the baby once it is bom.

I like my booze and cars safely stocked My opinion simply: keep it to yourself To the Editor: With regard to Eric Miller's column about racing in the Oct. 24 edition of "The Appalachian," I think you need to keep your negative opinions to yourself. The title of the article asks whether or not racing should be called a sport. In your column, you halfway answer this question but put racing down 100 percent. I enjoy the sport, hobby (whatever you wish to call it), etc. of racing along with many others. I will admit there are many sports that I dislike, but (like a normal person with good common sense—other than you) I keep my opinions to myself. I suggest that you take my advice and do the same. If you don't, you'll probably run into someone someday who disagrees with you like I do. However, unlike me, they'll probably express their feelings in a less calm manner and possibly invent a new "sport, hobby, etc." dealing with ex­ tracting newspaper columns from un­ comfortable places in the author's body. Go buy some common sense and fit in with the rest of us. Marcus Roseman ASU Box 14616 ASU illusions: image over integrity "Chief say, Oh, yeah? ... YOUR horse ugly." If we choose who lives or dies To the Editor: "It's not just what we inherit from our fathers and mothers that hurts us. It's all kinds of old, defunct therories, all sorts of old, defunct beliefs and things. I've only to pick up the newspaper and I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines. Over the whole country there must be ghosts, as numerous as the sands of the sea. And here we are, all of us, abysmally afraid of the light." —Helene Alving in the Henrik Ibsen play "Ghosts" Like the character who said this line, we in the Boone-ASU community live lives dominated by ghosts brought by illusion and pretense. We live with ghosts in the memory of Jeni Gray. Two women and their loved ones live with ghosts in their memories of life before they were physically and mentally violated. Numerous other persons with unknown stories live with these same ghosts in their membories of life before some vicious criminal took away some part of their lives, liberty, property or their pursuit of happiness. What are the illusions, the "old, defunct beliefs," which have brought about these ghosts? It's the illusion that some things have value above and beyond individual human lives. It's an illusion which drives the town of Boone to spend its time catching noisemakers and throttling developers, but not preventing real crimes with real victims. It's an illusion which drives the ASU admini­ stration to pretentious spending on new food services, new art works, new Appal domes but not on protecting the very lives served by these. It's the illusion of both the university and the town that this is a safe little Mayberry RFD where Andy and Barney could "nip it in the bud" if Opey and his gang attempt a "reign of terror." It's an illusion held by administrators who hire only 17 full-time Security officers to protect over 10,000 students. It's an illusion "The Appalachian" writer Mike Cook has when he says: "It troubles me that people have lost so much faith in campus and local law enforement that they feel the need to have a gun in order to feel safe." ("The Appalachian" Thursday, Oct. 19.) What illusions will continue to haunt with ghosts if we aren't careful? In addition to those mentioned above, it's the pretentious illusions of those who claim to speak for women and all humanity. These are the spiritual ambulance chasers who use brutal crimes to cash in and condemn all men as savages, who use these crimes as soapboxes for making and peddling their bee-hive Utopias, and who crown themselves the future queen bees. It's these Utopians' illusion that society's images create rapists, murderers and other criminals. It's these Utopians' illusion that rape is an exclusively male act, ignoring the fact that rape is not a sexual act, but a violent act which can be done by or to anyone, regardless of gender. What can be done to shatter these illusions haunting us with ghosts? The ASU administration and the town of Boone should set their priorities in terms of how these priorities affect individual human lives. They should acknowledge that, as our governments, it is their sole purpose to protect our individual rights. They should fulfill this purpose effectively and cooperatively, and if they can't, then we students and citizens should act to do the same, whatever it takes. We should immediately drop any notion that criminals are somehow products of forces beyond their control. We are all exposed to the same "images" of society, but certainly we're not all criminals. We certainly shouldn't bear the burden for criminals' actions The notion that criminals are made by outside forces only confuse us in fighting crime. Criminals are not "made" by environment or heredity, but arc self-made by their own sewer of thought, holding human lives as disposable pawns. As such, we should make the criminals bear responsibility for their actions. Finally, we should rebuke those i these crimes to promote their pet totalitarian visions of men and sock Instead of splitting the world into c: and setting them against each other, should make it our commitment tha wherever anyone's rights are violati any way at any time, in the words i Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wic!

They know it will ^ be cold and snowy, yet they still cling to live- For now, however, it is cool, crisp and clean. A hungry chipmunk scurries down its jee and onto the gentle grass. While searching for its breakfast,he comes across I something very strange—an oblong ob^.j 0f a hard, clear material. He jumps uound it to check and see if it is safe. He sniffs it and backs off very abruptly. He hesitates, but retreats. He knows it is a product of humans. He knows it means danger- Like a butterfly back to a hideous cater­ pillar, the ASU campus slowly metamor­ phoses. Its beautifully 1andscaped grounds, (lowered country ways, streams, fields md fresh, clean air slowly turn to a litterbested junk heap. From ripped down posters to emptied peer bottles and cancer-drained cigarettes jt comes, slowly invading the pristine beauty of this scenic school. Nothing is safe from its creeping mass. No field, no flowerbed, no building is safe from its de­ struction. With the "Jaws" theme song in its head, it engulfs and devours this cam­ pus like a ravenous shark. Why is this monster, pollution, winning the war? Have American college students lost their morals; do they even care? Is this the beginning of the end at ASU? It all begins Monday moming, roughly around 7 a.m. People from all walks of life arrive in their fancy sports cars and rust ridden metal monsters. Some are in bad moods; others are happy to be here, but all are more concerned about their personal problems than the environment's.' Their morning breakfast (fast food, of course) soon gets tossed to the side, fol­ lowed by that moming's nicotine fit.They go through school ignoring their ever­ growing donation to the "shark," even as the trash piles higher.Tuesday rolls around, bringing with it more destruction. Then it continues on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, until the destruction is complete and the shark is in a feeding frenzy. Duck Pond Field is a pig sty, Sanford Mall is trashed and Justice's lawn is a dis­ grace. The Stadium parking lot is buried with debris, Belk Library is overloaded with torn posters, and cigarette butts drown in our fountains. More bottles line our roads andeverything is in a complete shambles. Over the weekend most of the con­ tributors go home, leaving the rest of us with the "lovely" view. Of course, not all of these commuters are like this, but a lot seem to be.It appears that the majority of the trash is donated on the weekdays and not the weekends. I ask you "why?" Yet, can I blame it on a single group of people? Do I really have the right? I don't think so. If one person litters, and another sees the trash but doesn't pick it up, then the second person is just as guilty as the first. It is the entire community's prob­ lem. A problem which seems to be get­ ting out of control. When we see litter, we should pick it up and put it where it belongs. When we see someone litter, we should confront them.

'This is the third tune in recent years that we have experienced higher than anticipated retention of already enrolled students," she said.

"The campus should be more roomy in iespring after we lose the December graduates and admit fewer new students, and there should be less pressure on the physical environment and a few more parking No one can fully explain ASU's rising retention rates, Pulley said, but retention is probably closely related to the increase in the quality of students. Preliminary figures indicate that the average SAT score for this year's freshman class will be at least 10 points higher than the average for last year's class. This year s enrollment increase is seen mostly in the junior and senior classes, which together total 426 more students than last year's junior and senior classes.

Gray's body was found Monday eve­ ning Oct. 9 in an uninhabited area off Jake's Mountain Road. Rusher sr.id the body was found by a combined elfort of ".ate and local agencies. According to Rusher, the North Caro­ lina Cltief Medical Examiner has listed thecaur eof Gray's death asstrangulation. According to Lyons, the medical exam­ iner has deter' nincd that Gray died shortly after she v as abducted on Sept. 24. Rusher will be the prosecution attorney in the case and said that he may have assistance in prosecuting Lee. He would not comment on any aspect of the case or whether or not he would seek the death penalty for Lee. At press time, the next court date for Lee had not been set. New Student Union closer to reality as Final plans for building await approval By DEBRA L. POARCH Appalachian Staff Writer After a year of committee meetings and discussion, final plans for the expansion of the Student Union are ready. According to Vice Chancellor of Stu­ dent Development Dr. David Mclntire, the plans began a year ago with a survey asking students what they did or did not like about the present Student Union. Mclntire said student response indicated that they liked the Sweet Shop, but that it should be bigger. He also said students indicated that the Student Union lacked adequate meeting space. under 55,000 square feet. The new build­ ing will adjoin the present Student Union and extend onto the land now occupied by Workman Hall, and it will also house office space for the departments now housed in that building. It will also include offices for Outdoor Programs. Mclntire said there will be 7,800 square feet of meeting rooms in various sizes. Also in­ cluded will be a fitness area with an aero­ bics area and a weight room. A large study room along the lines of theSkylight Lounge will also be in the new facility. According to Mclntire, renovations to the existing Student Union will include expansions of the Sweet Shop, the Game Room and the Skylight Lounge. Mclntire said building costs have been estimated at $100 per square foot. Ap­ proximate cost to the students will be an $80 increase in student fees per academic year. He said during the construction, depart­ ments in Workman Hall will be housed in the present Student Union in theOur House and Forum area. Outdoor Programs will go to the Game Room on the top floor of the Student Union. The Game Room will move to the Mini-Mall area. Mclntire pointed out that plans are tentative and awaiting approval by the Board of Trustees in their December meeting. Mclntire said, "The Student Union was adequate when we had4,000 students, but it has long been inadequate for our needs." According to the latest figures, present enrollment is 11,501. Mclntire added,"Our students deserve adequate facilities; the Student Union is the living room of a campus, and I am excited that we will have an adequate facility." Mclntire said a committee of students and University personnel toured the cam­ puses of several southeastern universities to look at other Student Unions. He said after the tours were completed, the committee began work planning the expansion project. Mclntire said, "I have been pleased with the way the committee has worked together to meet the students needs in this expansion project." According to Mclntire, the committee has completed its work, and building plans are finalized. The architectural firm of Dellinger, Lee and Nichols of Charlotte is handling theplans and will submit them to the North Carolina Contract Office for approval on Nov. 1. Mclntire said plans for the new Student Union set it to be three stories with a little mmmsmarn THE CHANGING FACE OF TIME: Final plans for the renovation of and addition to the existing Plemmons Student Union are complete. According to Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr.Dave Mclntire, the plans are awaiting approval by the University Board of Trustees. The plans for the building Appalachian Knoto by irey Mon-k include the tearing down of Workman Hall and the construction of a three-story addition. The facility will house departments currently located in Workman Hall and other offices and meeting areas Hot Topics discussion raises questions By ROGER WATSON Appalachian Staff Writer and writer-text variables. According to the District Attorney's office, Lee faces a possible maximum sentence of four life sentences, 40 years imprisonment and lOyears imprisonment. Lee is being held without bond in the Watauga County jail pending further ac­ tion. In response to the recent assaults in the Boone area, the Hot Topics Committee held a question and answer session last week to answer questions and consider suggestions from ASU students and members of the community. The forum began with Chancellor John Thomas paying tribute to Jeni Gray, an ASU staff member who was abducted and murdered several weeks earlier. Gray's body was found one day prior to the dis­ cussion. "These have been dark, dark days for Appalachian State, and for the entire community since JeniGray was abducted," Thomas said. "It has focused our undi­ vided attention, at the university and in the community, on the tragedy." A letter from a family member of a recent rape victim was read during the discussion. It stated "Where as I certainly deplore the violent degrading acts that have been committed in Boone over the past three weeks, I strongly disagree with those who wish to lay the blame on the local police and campus security." The letter continued, "if there is a problem with these agencies, it is only that there isn't enough of them, and that, I suppose, is a financial problem." The author of the letter was unable to attend the meeting. Each of the panel members opened with comments about why they were on the panel and what their jobs were. Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs Barbara Dayeproposed that wcremember Jeni Gray and the other rape incidents by holding an annual march every fall from the administration building to the Lewis Harold Senior Center. Daye said, "It should be a march of awareness, to remember Jeni and to promote safety, caring and concern for ourselves, for others, and for our community." After Gray's disappear­ ance, her car was found in the senior center parking lot. Director of Public Safety and Security, Roy Tugman, explained that security has 17 full-time officers each working40hours a week. He said security also has a walk­ ing patrolman and 11 emergency tele­ phone systems to help protect students on campus. "The department is putting forth maxi­ mum efforts at this time to assist you the student in this time of crisis," Tugman said. He urged students to obey all security regulations, specifically ones prohibiting the propping open residence hall doors. Tugman also discouraged students from arming themselves with weapons in order to protect themselves. "We would like to provide more people to do more things, but with the existing resources we can not do that," Tugman said. Melissa Schrift, an ASU student and one of the organizers of a march against violence, which was held in Boone2 weeks ago, discussed how society projects vio­ lence upon women. "The next time you're in a video store go to the horror section and count how many covers have pic turesof women being attacked or threatened on the front," Schrist said. "We need to start examining our own attitudes. We cannot makechanges unless we start with ourselves." Jeff Rucker from the Crime Prevention division of the Boone Police Department spoke of a triple homicide which occured in Boone 17 years ago. Rucker says the See TOPICS pg. 3 Turn the page ...

Bumley said she has concerns about safety aroundBoone and has already insti­ tuted patri Is and self defense courses. She will continue to do so until the demand for such measures ceases. "We need to do all we can to make Boone a safe place to live," Burnley said. Miller said that only 19 percent of the town's registered voters turned out for the election. According to her, 1,502 of the to wn's7,908 registered votersparticipated in the election. Incumbent Town Council Members James Marsh and James Dugger will face Louise Miller and Incumbent Saul Chase in a runoff election scheduled for Nov. 7. She also said the communication with ASU and the town is one of her top priori­ ties. Burnley said: "I hope ASU and the town can work on a number of issues together. This will break down a number of barriers, both real and imaginary." Bumley added, "I feel we are all citi­ zens and should be treated the same." She said she feels that anything that is good for Wc corr yo the university is good for the town, "and vice-versa." Burnley said that holding the office of mayor will definitely be a different role for her. "I will not have a vote unless the town council ends in a tie, but I can set the tone for the things I want done." In the general election, Ben Suttle won a majority of the votes to serve on the council. Another councilman, Jimmy Smith, was not up for re-election. Burnley defeated mayor pro tern Bill Rucker and candidate Craig Austin for the mayoral candidate position in the Oct 10 race. According to Watauga County Board of Elections Chairman Mary Sue Miller, Burnley received 746 votes, enough to win a majority of the support needed to ensure her victory. I S She added, "I will be able to speak with anyone who vishes to talk about concerns or suggestions." SGA President Brad Edwards said that he does not feel any immediate major changes will be made once Bumley takes office. He also said that Bumley plans to have an open meeting so the town has a chance to speak on the issues that concern them. "I feel this is a good idea and hope many persons will become involved in the program," Edwards said. "I feel (Bumley) will work with the university and try to implement programs that both the town and ASU will be pleased with," he said.

ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor Ever since the early 1970s, George been making his own style ftock and blues music. On Friday, Nov. ! -1£ jnd his band, the Delaware Destroyas will bring their unparalleled stage to ASU's Varsity Gym. In recent years, Boone has become a baven for serious blues enthusiasts, espeThorogood has ciniiy111056 Wlth a twist of rock in their BOIS. The King Bees, the Alligators, Bob Margolin and many others have found the jllgh Country to be a vigorous market for [he style of music they play. So, when A.P.P.S. went looking for a headliner for the second big show of this semester, the tradition of blues fanatics in his area naturally led them to seek out a -emier act like George Thorogood. 0 They probably weren't too distressed at | knowledge that hehas built up asteady t Allowing ever since the Destroyers formed in 1973, and that he puts on one of the greatest stage shows in rock today, full of bisown guitar pyrotechnics and the amaz­ ing things you can do with a tight band ihat's been together intact for almost sev' enteen years now, and that not too long ,gohe was all over MTV with the single "YouTalkToo Much," from "BornTo Be Bad," his most recent album. But the fact is that Thorogood has been proven a successful draw no matter where he goes. Part of this can be explained by the great tradition under which he has learned the art of the blues. Earlier in his career, he opened for or played with such greats as John Hammond, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, PinetopPerkins and Hound Dog Taylor. His set still includes some of the masterpieces recorded by these elder statesmen. Another probable reason for the longterm success of the Destroyers is Thorogood's commitment to the music, and the integrity demonstrated by himself and his band. Wejustdothebestjobwe can and try to make people have a good time,"Thorogoodsaid. "If we have integ­ rity, it lies in our giving the utmost respect for our profession. We put everything we have into our shows." One way that George Thorogood and the Destroyers have not chosen to achieve popularity is trend-following. Nor, how­ ever, have they chosen to deliberately play whatever is not trendy. Instead, the band just sticks to the essentials of their craft and remains true to their own in­ stincts. Those instincts are honed by a relent­ less commitment to playing live. The band will play in any town, in whatever venue is available, and they always take each show as if the people there have never heard of them. "We work hard to keep the music fun...That's how we ap­ proach it, and that's what we're about," said Thorogood. It pays off; u.e band is nothing short of incredible live, and the thrill of watching master musicians tear it up with some of the funnest songs ever written will put the fear of George in the most anhedonic of us. When I spoke to Thorogood just before fall break, he was in California doing an unnamed promotional gig. Boone is, for Thorogood as with 38 Special, one of the jumping-off points for a national tour that will, in the Destroyers' case, last about five and a half weeks. Thorogood doesn't listen to much popular music these days, saving his time to catch local talent wherever he goes. Two of the acts that he mentioned as great talents carrying on in his footsteps are Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, from Boston ("...theself-proclaimed Wild-man of Rock according to Thorogood), and a duo from Santa Barbara named Tom Hall and Ken Solton. "But no one today is cutting records like the traditional stuff,"saidThorogood, except maybe Stevie Ray Vaughn or the Fabulous Thunderbirds. "The business is killing creativity, not talent,"he said, going on to explain that the people who really want to get big on album have to give up a portion of their individualism in order to fit with the industry'sprogram, while there are plenty of talented people around who don't or won't. Interestingly, he sees the current con­ troversy about artists and their songs in commercials from a different perspective than the usual knee-jerk yes-or-no. From his point of view, what's operating in a commercial like the Michelob ad that uses the Genesis song 'Tonight, Tonight, Tonight"is that people begin to recognize the singer and the song by the commercial, just as Joe DiMaggio was the Mr. Coffee man to the newer generations. That sort of personal, different obser­ vation is fitting to George Thorogood's personality. When I was handed over from his manager to him on the phone, he immediately assumed that I knew it was him. He comes across as self-assured to the point of occasional forays into cocki­ ness. But that's what you need t< succeed in showbiz—chutzpah. And it's that kind of confidence that allows George Thorogood to lead the Destroyers as one of the great­ est live shows in rock/blues today. You, too, can see for yourself Friday, Nov. 3 in Varsity Gym. Tickets will go on sale today at the Student Union (you can use the Appala­ chian Express Card, remember) and at Record and Tape Depot and Record Bar here in Boone.

It is also time to hit the blues arena for a continuance of our blues education. Can you handle a trip back in time? This weekend the King Bees will be appearing at Sollecito's with legendary harp man Chicago Bob Nelson. This show is guaranteed to bring you a taste of authentic blues. I HICAGO BOB NELSON: Legendary harp man Chicago Bob Nelson will give I done a taste of the blues this Saturday at Sollecito's. Chicago Bob has played taigside such blues greats as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. The show starts ' Op.m. and costs $4. Local favorite The King Bees will open the show. The King Bees are a local favorite who have been playing for over two years. Led by Rob"Hound Dog"Baskerville onguitar and vocalist "Queen Bee" Penny Zamagni, the band delivers a wide range of blues tunes. "We don't have a current sound. We have a '50s style," explains Baskerville. The two have led the band from the beginning with numerous drum­ mers and harmonica players sitting in. However, they now have a band that they both feel has the right chemistry for con­ cocting some mean blues. Joe Dickens spends his time blowing harp for the band as well as keeping the audience amused with his unpredictable antics. Drummer Robbie Stevens has played everything from gospel to rock, but his hard-driving sound makes him at home with the blues.

"Children of the Corn" is not quite as bad as "Children of the Full Moon," but it is still a real turkey of an adaptation of S tephen Kiiig's short story. A couple come to a Midwestern farming town, butlo and behold, a mesmerizing young preacher has already been to town and instructed all the children to brutally murder adults to appease a sa tanic demon. This low-budget horror flick is at times funny, but not enough to rank it up there with "Plan 9 from Outer Space"as a classic bad movie. On Friday it plays at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 9 p.m., the price is $1 and includes another Stephen King movie. "Cat's Eye" is a trilogy of terror in the anthology style of "The Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery." The first story con­ tains a lesson to be learned by all you smokers out there. James Woods plays an average man who has been trying to quit smoking. Afterfailing by himself, he goes to a clinic that guarantees that its custom­ ers will stop smoking, or else. This funny and spooky tale is the bestof the threetales in good, old-fashioned, tell-me-a-scarystory fun.The second story involves Robert Hays as a tennis bum living it up with the wrong man's wife and ending up facing a deadly wager. Drew B.anymore is once again a loveable tyke in the third tale, this time she is plagued by a rather nasty creature from her closet.This movie plays at 9 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m. Saturday, the price is $1 and includes "Children of the Com." Closing out both Friday and Saturday nights will be another of A.P.P.S.' Late Night Movies. "Creature from the Black Lagoon 3-D" is all that a 3-D honor film that is rated G can be, loads of fun.

"Just A Feeling" and "Just Your Fool." It also has great remakes of Jimmy Roger's "Sloppy Qrunk" and J. B. Hutto's "Too Much Alcohol." As Penny says, "The crowd is out for a good time and they want to party. Mr. Nelson is known for a good time." His sound has been described as pure '50s mainstream Chicago Blues. "Living Blues" magazine said, "This al­ bum could just as easily have been cut three decades ago, so authentic is its sound." Chicago Bob spends his time touring the east coast and playing regu­ larly in Atlanta's hot blues clubs. "This is the blues. Chicago Bob will bring an authenticity that might be a first in this area," Baskerville promises. He started playing at the age of nine So, do you think you can handle this when he picked up a harp and tried to play large a dose of the blues? For this show, it at a front porch jam session.

OCTOBER 19,1989 Pixie's music speaks for itself " Doolittle" grinds and shrieks By DAVE ALSTON Apptlachlui SUIT WrIUr I love things that can get an immediate reaction out of everyone.I figure that must be why rock-n-roll renegades The Pixies have quickly turned into favorites of mine. I've got this secret weakness for bands that can clear a room in under 10 seconds, and there s not too many bands around that can get under your skin as quickly and effectively as The Pixies. They're not one of those attitude bands; ' honest" is a more accurate tag for 'em. rheres no nifty, neat nu-wave 'dus sprout­ ing from their heads 'cuz the music tends to speak for itself, and the semi-coherent lyrics about stuff you shouldn't discuss in polite company are cathartic in some to­ tally original ways. This bandseems toget all of this angst out of its system in one quick, mad rush, and that's why you get little of the nice, contrived sentimentality coughed up by far too many pompously "original" bands around today. This frenzied energy also outdoes most (if not all) of the neo-R.E.M.ishness that tends to make the Southern "Alternative" music scene so crushingly dull (maybe The Pixies should move south to inspire us a bit). In any case, this is an acquired taste band—bands thissonically assertive don't often go to number one (and it's a cryin' shame). Nevertheless, the latest release from The Pixies, "Doolittle", is still hands down one of the best releases this year. From the beginning "Doolittle" sort of grinds you into the dirt with delightful glee; "Debaser"is an almost-too-enthusiastic ode to surrealist films. It's followed by the ironically titled 'Tame," which crashes headfirst into thealbum's (or CD's, for all us laserheads) statement-of-purpose, "Wave Of Mutilation." Maybe I'm a masochist, but the shrieking at the end of Tame is one of my favorite moments here. The sense of humor is evident in"La La Love You ' (silly Vegas parody) and "Mr. Grieves, which sounds like a garageoverhauled show nine. "Monkey Gone to Heaven ' and the bubblegummy "Here Comes Your Man" both indicate that, yes, even The Pixies wouldn't mind asuccessful hit single— on their own terms. Like I said, they're honest. The most musically interesting sniff is to be found at or near the end. "Silver" is the musically weird one here; it's way out of place, but that doesn't really matter too much. Besides, a little beatnik C&W (country and western, that is) every now and then never hurt anyone. And "No.13 Baby and "Gouge Away" both synchro­ nize disturbing (er...)sexual imagery with sophisticated melodies to striking effect. Closing Doolittle ' with "Gouge Away" creates a musical cliff-hanger that Dy­ nasty would be hard-pressed to duplica'e— this literally leaves ya hungry for more. OK, OK, sure this stuff isn't for ev­ eryone. If you are easily disturbed, if ya love America's Top 40," if you swear by the stale, smug, sexist, bland, predictable, boring (pick an adjective) money machine known as Empty-V, then stay away from The Pixies. However, if you happen to think getting a bit disturbed every once in a while is not necessarily such a bad thing, then Doolittle is probably right up your alley. For those among us who are really big fans, there are also two CD singles from Doolittle both with killer extra tracts. The "Monkey Gone To Heaven" single* features "Manta Ray" and "Weird At My School, a couple of hyper rock tunes, and Dancing The Manta Ray," two minutes of avant-dance strangeness. The "Here Comes Your Man" single includes a slow version of Wave Of Mutilation," another straight-out-rocker ("Into The White"), and something called "Bailey's Walk," which sounds a bit like a thrashed-up Tom Waits cover.

Both Pacino and Goodman c0ps from two different sides of the city trying to muddle through the mysteri­ ous killings. Their strategy? They place their own personal ad similiar to those of the now-dead men. Pacino and Goodman receive an overwhelming amount of re­ sponse mail from ladies more than willing to make a date with the writer of the personal ad. Pacino and Goodman make dates with every one of die women who respond in hopes of getting their finger prints on a wme glass and thus capturing the mur­ derer. There is one unexpected twist for Pacino. One of his dates—Ellen Barkin does not want to drink her wine. This date is looking for an "animal attraction," and she just does not feel it with Pacino. The chase is on. Pacino cannot seem to get Barkin out of his mind. While becom- ing an obsession for him, Barkin suddenly does find an animal attraction for Pacino and the heat is one. But the killer has yet to be found. Somewhere in the city there is a murderer running free. The police are continuing to make dates, but the possibilities are run­ ning out and so is their time. Pacino can­ not bring himself to check Barkin out as more of the clues point to her as his prime suspect. As far as Pacino's colleagues are concerned, Pacino cannot seem to get a copy of the suspect's finger prints. Save for on his body, of course. The suspense continues, leading the viewer through and around a maze of confusion, lies and turmoil. Pacino as the main character in this suspenseful movie, struggles with his own feelings for a re­ cently divorced wife, an aging career with pected twist in the ending which makes the police, alcoholism, and this new and Pacino's efforts worthwhile, bringing all perplexing desire for a woman who is the conflicts surrounding him to a finish. suspected of murder.

Special to The Appalachian The people who work with Mountain­ eer Talent Search each year have always ihought it was a special event, but evi­ dently others think so too. A few weeks ago Jean Roberts, advisor to A.P P S- Special Event Council (spon­ sors of the Talent Search) got a call from last year's master of ceremonies, Lewis Nixon. Lewis is a professional comedian who won AS U' s first annual Talent Search 1980. Lewis wanted to know if he could come back this year and do the show again. After it was agreed upon and all the details worked out, Lewis had another offer. It seems he had talked to his big-wig talent attorney in Florida. The attorney -Jap. '/fw/M? happened to be an ASU alumnus, and he had voiced some desire to come and judge the show. So a few more calls were made and that was settled. An hour later, Lewis' manager (also an ASU alumnus) called and he wanted to know if he could come to the show, too. No, no he didn't want to judge; he just thought it would be fun to be there. But he did have a friend who might want to be judge. It seems that the friend is the talent director for Carnival Cruise Lines. Yep, the big one. The Carnival Cruise Lines. Would A.P.P.S. be interested? What do you think? So if a $200 first prize isn't enough incentive to pull out that guitar from the closet or dust off those dancing shoes. then maybe the opportunity to perform in front of several major entertainment/tal­ ent professionals is. Applications for the annual showcas­ ing of student talent are available in room 204 Student Union. The deadline for applying is Oct.31. Auditions will be held in mid-November.

His mom said,"There's no job like that, especially for a nice boy like you." In school, Kier's classmates agreed that he was a fun guy to hang out with. His teachers mostly agreed that he needed to hang out at the principal's office. But he was not deterred. Besides, it was a great place to tighten up his act. When Kier got into music, his humor went with him—particularly, his gift for impersonation. He found that people like to hear Bob Dylan singing a Princesong or Willie Nelson singing Elton John.

Real men are back on real ice playing a real snort. OK, that last comment didn't malce all the sense in the world, but can't you tell I'm happy about the new NHL season? Sometimes there's nothing better than waking up and watching the 20 seconds of hockey highlights and scores every morning on Headline News. Too bad I can't watch the games this year...again. Before all you Boone Icemeisters turn your TV dials to ESPN on cable channel 27,1 might as well warn you that the NHL isn't on there again this season, and probably not for the next three years as well. SportsChannel America, which is considering a name change to "SportsChannel Connecticut and some of Florida" is currently basking in the sunlight of an exclusive five-year deal with the league. flow if any of you were lucky to see SportsChannel Greed's coverage of hockey last year, you might have been impressed. Three nights of hockey a week on some occasions (two a week during most weeks) was enough to wet the whistle of any hockey fan fortunate enough to get the channel without having to buy a satellite dish, but the (antes were shown in between the big high school game of the week (Huh?), lii sorry, but I can't imagine Chris Jerman saying that the NHL Game of iheWeek will not be aired in order that ESPN show St. Agnes of the Venetian Canals against Archbishop O'Whatshisname.

I understand that Home Team Sports can be received through each of those cities' cable systems, which means they get to see my Washington Capitals and I don't. (Big boo-hoo.) Of course like I've said before, a sports bar in Boone »ith a satellite dish would easily get a good share of hockey fans with every gsme it would show.

En route to the victory, the Furman squad accumulated 369 yards of total offense while holding the Apps to just 144 yards. Of the yardage, the Paladins racked up big rushing numbers as they ran for 300 yards. Conversely, theMountaineers were held to just 79 yards on the ground. Scoring five times on the day, four touchdowns and one field goal, the Pala­ dins possessed the ball for a time of38:27, nearly 17 minutes longer than ASU's 21:33 time of possession. Furman's first score of the contest came with 8:54 remaining in the opening quar­ ter. The drive consumed 61 yards in nine plays. The touchdown came as Dwight Sterling found an opening in the center of the line and blasted through it for an 18yard goal-line breaking run. The Paladins extended their lead to 140 as they again scored on their next pos­ session. Furman began the drive with good just 23 yards rushing and 12 yards pass­ ing. They had possession of the ball eight times, yet they only picked up two first downs. While the Apps accumulated just 35 yards in total offense, the Paladins gained as total of 187 yards in the first two periods of the contest. The ASU defense held their ground on the Paladins' first drive of tlie second half. A 15-yard clipping penalty forced the Furman offense into asecond-and-19 situ­ ation. Then, on the third down, ASU de­ fensive lineman Sean Swoope sacked quarterback Frankie DeBusk forcing the Paladins to punt. The Mountaineers picked up twoquick first downs on their initial possession of the second half; however, they were soon faced with fourth-and-six from the Fur­ man 40-yard mark. The Mountaineers opted to fake the punt, but ballcarrier J.K. Reeves was dropped for a 2-yard loss. This set up yet another Furman touch­ down, as the Paladins moved the ball the necessary 58 yards. With just nine sec­ onds remaining in the third period, Bobby Daugherty carried the ball around the left end and into the cndzone from 6 yards out.

The Mountaineers elected to go for Hornets try Turner By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor The life of a free agent is not an easy one, as Andre Turner is finding out he tries out for the Charlotte Hornets. Turner was a standout point guard for Memphis State when the Tigers were a national power. He holds the school rec­ ord for assists and steals and had 15 assists in a single game. But that was college and now he is trying for the pros. Drafted by Los Ange­ les in 1986, he was waived by the Lakers and signed as a free agent by the Boston Celtics. After playing in only three games for the Celtics, he was signed by the Rockford lightning of the CBA. Turner was traded to the LaCrosse Catbirds for Milt Wagner midway through the 1986-87 season. Turner was then signed by the Houston Rockets in October of 1987. Heplayed 12 games averaging 2.9 points per game and 1.9 assists in 12 games for the Rockets. Turner then sat out the remainder of the season with a punctured right eardrum. Last year Turner was selected by Mi­ ami in the NBA expansion draft. He waived before the start of the season and then signed by the Milwaukee Bucks to a 10day contract. After the contract was up, Turner went back to play for the LaCrosse Catbirds where he averaged 17.8 points and 5.8 per game assists in 38 games. Turner feels the differences between the college and professional levels. "It's different and strange to go from starter in college to this system in the NBA," said Turner. Turner passed up chances at New Jer­ sey and Dallas to accept the invitation to come to Charlotte on just one-day notice. "It seemed like a better choice. I thought they might need someone and you have to look at where the opening is," saidTurner. The chance that Turner is referring to is the injury to Michael Holton. Holton went down with a back injury and his return is still uncertain. going to let Andre Turner's game talk for itself," said Turner. His game did speak for itself in Boone. On several occasions Turner blew past the defender for an easy basket. But the Hor­ nets already have the short quick guard in Bogues, so where doesTurner fit in? "It is difficult to say. It dependson the coaching staff," said Turner. Turner did, however, enjoy his travel­ ing camp in Boone. "It is different in 'Big Boone.' I am kind of accustomed to a larger city," said Turner. Turner might just make it on the Hor­ nets, or some other NBA teams this year, but the truth of it is that being a free agent in the NBA is not easy and finding a job is not always as simple as it looks.

Memories fade, facts don We remain slaves to fear TREY HORACK MICHELE HOLLOWELL Copy Editor /{ JEFF TURNER Sports Editor Asst. News Editor Diversions Editor THE APPALACHIAN. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19 , 1989 ft Now that the mystery of Jeni Gray's disappearance is over and a suspect has been charged with her murder, it is imperative to remember the lessons learned in the past few weeks. Time tends to fade memories and people may be lulled again into a false sense of security. With the holidays on the way, fall colors at their peak and the possibility of snow, it would be excessively easy to put this tragedy out of the mind. While Jeni Gray's death was tragic and senseless, it should be a reminder to all that violent crimes occur in many places, and our best defense is to take precautions. The Mountaineer Escort program is a good way for students around campus to get safely where they need to go. The SGA sponsored program operates out of the ASU Security office and can be contacted at 262-6438. A television monitoring system is being installed near the Edgewood parking lot in attempts to prevent any possible crimes. While it is impossible to predict the effectiveness of such a system, it is a step in the right direction. Regardless of the amount of security measures imposed by the university, students must try to be responsible for their own safety. Security's involvement (or lack thereof) cannot insure that all violence will disappear. Students should exercise common sense when they are walking alone atnight or in an unpopulated area of town. Because Jeni Gray s case received much publicity, other concurrent crimes were given more attention than usual.It is essential that the ASU community not lapse back into complacency when the uproar dies down.The university understandablydoes not like to have this kind of bad publicity released to the media, and it often seems to downplay crimes on campus. Just because you don't hear about violent crime, don't assume that it does not occur. C 1983 Chronicle Features Distributed by Universal Press Syndicate The events of the past few weeks have put everyone in Boone on guard. The brutal murder of Jeni Gray, along with the attacks, assaults, and rapes that have occurred, has caused much fear, shock and concern among the students of ASU. Reaction to these violent crimes has been varied. Most of the reactions have resulted in positive, student-oriented actions. The Take Back the Night" march through Boone by students, faculty and staff helped amplify the protests of students who feel that the campus is not as safe as it once was. It provided an outlet for those individuals who were concerned about the recent increase in attacks and as­ saults on campus. The march also allowed individuals to voice questions about the efforts of the administration and ASU Security in providing effective student safety. Probably the most beneficial result of the march was that the media exposure given to the event brought the problem out into the open. This undoubtedly assures that the problem of student safety will not be minimized by the administration. It will have to be fully addressed and acted upon to avoid any accusations of not doing everything possible to ensure the safety of every studenton this campus. The recent wave of crimes has also resulted in more calls to Mountaineer Escorts and has put emphasis on improving this service. There have also been programs in the residence halls on student safety and how to make yourself less of a target. These have all been positive attempts at increasing student awareness and safety. These efforts, along with increased efforts by Security, will surely prevent future incidents and make the campus a much safer place. to students for "protection."A fewphonecai] shops showed that, along with recent h mace and stun guns were also doing health • ^ ^ It appears the town of Boone is gearing i1?"5®1'! 1 troubles me that people have lost so much faith and local law enforcement that they feel th ' a gun in order to feel safe.

The thing that has worried me most about this entire incident is that in spite of all these positive efforts, fear still seems to dominate in Boone. Who didn't see the flyers plastered all over the Student Union and the Post Office advertising "handgun specials" at some of the local area gun shops? Who hasn't paged through the last few issues of "The Appalachian" and seen the ads for mace?

Apparently a large majority of these were sold I'm not the one to say, "I told you so.' What choices have we in life rs scheme? WILLIAM E. O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Columnist Of all the jokes I've heard, nothing matches thisone: those who want the right to kill (oops, their term is abort) say they are pro-choice. Guess what? They're not, even if they have the media, John Q. Public and some in the pro-life circles calling them that. I have yet to see or hear any on the proabortion side provide services to help the mother who has an unplanned pregnancy keep the child if she chooses to do so. The sole "service" they provide is the ending of a human life.Only the pro-life side has crisis pregnancy centers that actually give the mother the provisions to carry the baby to term, even to the point of finding a family to stay with and the money to get prenatal care. Pardon me if I'm trying to think this tltrough too logically, but I always thought tit.', word "choice" meant you have op­ tions from which to select. This is not so with the side who claims to be pro-choice. They offer only one choice—abortion. Choose another way and they don't help. But, you say, they don't force anyone to have an abortion. No, they don't. But, it's the only choice for which they provide an incentive. To put it in another light, it's like friends saying they're in favor of whatever you decide, but won't back you up if you choose an option they don't like. W,th friends like that, who needs ene­ mies? Back in context, the picture looks like this: if a pregnant woman goes to a prochoice clinic and wants help to keep the baby (cither to raise or put up for adop­ tion), she's told something like this: "We'll help you end your pregnancy, but if you want to bear the burden of carrying the blob of tissue around for the next several months, good luck and have a nice day." for yourselves: in a full page ad (we re talking big money, folks) in the"WinstonSalem Journal,"Planned Parenthood listed "five ways to prevent abortion." A few sounded pretty good, yet not one men­ tioned the fact that abortion can be pre­ vented by the mother carrying the unborn child to term and that there arc places to go to get the help for that choice. It must be that Planned Parenthood isn't one of those places where you can choose to keep the baby. If they did provide an incentive to choose to keep the baby (as they do to kill it), they certainly would not have forgotten to mention it—after all, that's what their ad was about, preventing abortion. Keeping the baby, and not kill­ ing it, sounds like a sure fire way to prevent abortion (oops, Imust be thinking rationally—I'll do my best to stop doing 6 that). My friends, wherc's the choice? When are those who say they are in favor ofchoice going to put their money where their mouth is? If they truly believed in choice they would also have some sort of Notice I used the word pro-life through­ set-up like the thousands of crisis preg­ out and not the term anti-abortion.

It is unfortunate that there is such a tendency in our society to justify one form of injustice or crime on the basis that there are other injustices and crimes as well. This is the typical form of apology for those who wish not to understand the implications of specific types of crimes where people act out their insecurities through violence or through perpetuating injustice. Such were the responses to a letter to the editor that appeared in "The Appalachian" on violence against women. "Well, men are attacked also," they said. "Other kinds of crimes are also happening in this society," they said. "I am a bjt embarrassed when girls get raped what can I do?" [emphases added] they said. It was clear that the authors of these responses had not read the original letter to the editor well to have understood its content or its intent. They were also exposing their social and political insensitivitics and naivete in their haste to apologize for the perpetrators of crimes. Of course, after the apologies, they wanted to say, "I am against all such terrible things." Tliis docs not stop them, it seems, from choosing to attack those who do speak out when such things happen rather than choosing to attack the source of violence. I must say that as someone who has participated in struggles for democracy, justice, and freedom in the United States and elsewhere, I am not surprised at such attacks by those who would most benefit front the establishment of a system of freedom and justice. Lacking freedoms and having internalized the injustice, they become ardent defenders of a system and the masters that exercise control over 'Jicir lives. Almost with envy for those who are not afraid to speak out and struggle for democracy and justice, they attack and want to make sure that others also suffer the humility as well as the humiliation they feel themselves. Hopefully, in the United States, as well as around the world, the voices against violence will Will. Fuat Firat Professor of Marketing Don't apologize for violence To the Editor: she is wearing a miniskirt and tanktop. We must reinforce the idea that it is not awoman's fault when she is raped. Tnere is no such thing as a woman "asking" to be raped. It is also not the fault of all men when one man rapes a woman. It is the fault of the rapist. However, rapists are not all crazed men who come out of nowhere to rape women; rape occurs at much too high a frequency for this to be true. Our society creates rapists, nurtures to maturity and them makes it acceptable for them to commit violence against women. We need to be aware of Ute images that society projects upon us. he next time you are in a video store, go to the horror section and count how many covers have pictures of women being attacked or threatened.

According to ASU Security, Christopher Bragg was hit by a1978 Dodge two-door, after the driver of the car turned off Stadium Drive into the lot. The name of the driver was not released. A spokesperson for the hospital said Bragg was brought into the emergency room at approximately 9:30 for X-rays and other tests. The incident was still under investigation at press time; no charges had been filed. Sister School to Attend Homecoming North Carolina Central University, ASU's sister school, is sending a delegation from their student government to attend Homecoming at ASU this weekend. The students expected to attend, Fred Freely, Earl Himes, Ron Brinson, Kinsey Wright and Kia Hardee, will be the guests of ASU's Student Government Association. They will be here throughout the weekend and will participate in many Homecoming '89 events. The visit by NC Central is the first of many exchanges planned between the two sister schools. SGA President Brad Edwards said: "Wehope that they can learn from our Homecoming as we hope to leam from theirs. This is an excellent way for both schools to get new ideas about our student programs." An ASU delegation will be attending NC Central's Homecoming next weekend in Raliegh.

After student is cleared of cheating charges Professor questions integrity of process By JENELLE AUTRY Jail and Bail Returns Jr ' Homecoming events kicked off Tues­ day afternoon as students rallied on San­ ford Mall to show support for their indi­ vidual residence halls in the annual race for the Chancellors Cup. According to SGA Vice President Pat Wooten, the theme for this year's Home­ coming celebration is "Back in Black." Wooten said: "It's short, sweet and to the point It's also a takeoff from the football theme." Wooten added, "It shows our attitute will be extremely enthusiastic about ASU and the game." Yesterday, male students participated in the first annual "Homely Court" con­ test. The winner of the contest, John McPherson, was crowned "Miss YoQueen'.'(See article p. 4) Last nights' events included a dance at Legends' sponsored by CRSA. Accord­ ing to SGA Assistant Public Affairs Di­ rector Andy Swofford, the dance was part of the Chancellor's Cup contest and the winner was based on the percentage of students who attended the dance to sup­ port their residence halls. Tomorrow's events will begin at 11:20 a.m. when residence halls will be judged for their Homecoming spirit as shown by their efforts in the banner contest. The annual Homecoming Parade will begin tomorrow at 3 p.m. with lineup in Stadium Parking lot. Among those par­ ticipating in the parade will be ASU march­ ing band, ASU cheerleaders, BSA, sev­ eral residence halls, the Senior Commit­ tee and the 1989 Homecoming Court. Members of the court include: Christy Clark, Carolina Crawford, Chantd Faulkner, KaraGates,Denise Had,Wendy Hull, Keven Parker, Kendall Stiles, Tina Waddell and Beth Wooten. A tail-gate party will be held on Duck Pond field prior to Saturday's game with music provided by the "Soul Snatchers." The party begins at 10:30 a.m. Appalachian News Editor Editor's Note: Document referred to in the following article is re-printed on p.4. An ASU professor has publicly called for thecensure andremoval of administra­ tors and faculty members who he claims acted "either incompetently or with a lack of integrity" in clearing a student on charges of cheating. Psychology professor Dr. J. Dan Duke, editor of the ASU Faculty Senate publica­ tion "Faculty Voice," dedicated an edition of the publication to relating the events surrounding the incident and requesting that the faculty refrain from using the newly revised code of academic integrity until a review of the incident can be made. Greek grades: the good and the bad By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Associate Director of the Center for S tudent Involvement and LeadershipDino • DiBernardi, upon releasing the GPAs for the university's 18 social Greek organiza­ tions said, "Generally, there is some good news in the grades, but all is not good news." According to DiBernardi, sororities outperformed fraternities in last spring's GPA ratings. "The sororities have done exceptionally well," he said. "Every sorority but two is above the all women's average." Grade reports reveal that the average GPA for female students at ASU is 2.74. DiBernardi said the sorority GPA was 2.78. "Although that's only four-onehundredths of a point, it is still significant that our sororities rank above the aver­ age." The Greek grade report also shows that five of the eight sororities on campus increased their current GPAs. Cumula­ tively, DiBernardi said, only two sorori­ ties fell below the all women's average. "Our sororities are doing very well," he said and contributed their success to the pledging system. According to DiBernardi, sororities on campus are requiring higher GPAs of their pledges. "You can't just walk off the street and pledge," he said. "You have to meet their grade requirements." DiBernardi said in order to pledge any of the sororities, one must have either a 2.70 high school GPA (freshmen pledges) or a 2.50 college GPA. He said another reason for the success of the sororities in maintaining their high GPAs is their grade maintenance pro­ grams. "Sororities are taking a more ac­ tive role in maintaining and bringing up their GPAs," DiBernardi said. He added that this is done through awards, cuts in dues and probation and assistance pro­ grams for those members who need help with their grades. Although DiBernardi said he was pleased with the results of the sorority GPA, he is not pleased with some of the fraternal GPAs. "The numbers don't read out as well," he said. Greek grade reports show that of the 11 fraternities on campus, two rank above the cumulative all men's average. Current GPA averages show that none of the fra­ ternities ranked above the all men's aver­ age last spring. Duke also requested that the Faculty Senate committee that developed the new academic integrity code review thecase in question. He wrote, "If my complaints seem justified, pleasestart making neces­ sary reforms immediately." In the publication, Duke said he be­ came suspicious of one of his students, whom he titled "Mr. X," after the student, "despite wretched attendance caught my attention by ranking first in two sections (100+ students) after three exams had been taken." Duke said a breach in office security led him to suspect Mr. X had been cheating. According to Duke, after he took steps to ensure the security of his office and of the tests prepared therein, Mr. X's grades "fell to the bottom of both sections on his last two tests." Duke said that since he had no hard evidence with which to convict Mr. X of cheating, "I resigned myself to monitor closely Mr. X's final exam performance." According to Duke, he decided to offer the final exam in the class on two separate days to allow students to leave campus early if they so desired. He said that on fall reading day last year approximately 60 of his students chose to take the early exam. After the exam materials were distributed, Duke said he began to look for Mr. X. "I looked especially for Mr. X," Duke wrote. "I never saw him. Whenever he took his final, my plan was to watch him closely." Duke said that following the exam, the tests were scored by computer and Mr. X's name and test score did not show up on the printouts. On the officially scheduled exam day, Duke said he again watched closely for Mr. X but that the student never showed The current average GPA for fraterni­ up for the exam.

Duke said neither of the students showed upfor the conference and he never received a reply from the student. According to Duke, his next step was to formally charge Mr. X with cheating. He said he requested that Mr. X receive an F in the course. "The first stage of the hearings was conducted in the proper manner," Duke said. According to him, the student was found guilty of cheating. During spring final exam week, Duke said he received a memo from Vice Chan­ cellor of Student Development Dr. David Mclntire informing him that the case against Mr. X had been dropped. Duke said he confirmed by phone that the Academic Integrity Board's verdict had been reversed. Duke said he is angered by his lack of knowledge or involvement in the appeals process. He wrote: "Why had I nothing to do with the appeal process? Nobody talked to me. Nobody asked me ques­ tions. I learned, on the other hand, that (another student) Mr. Y did appear. Mr. Y testified that Mr. X took the exam on reading day. So far as I know, this was the basis for dismissing the case." Duke said: "At the point of appeals, exit me. What is appalling to me is that no one discussed it with me...I don't know why they dismissed the case." He added:"The only way I can see they could find Mr. X innocent is to find me reprehensible and to file charges against me and fire me. ... If somehow they found him innocent they would have to charge me." "As a result of this experience," Duke said, "I know my security was broken." Duke said that he has spent over 80 hours re-preparing other materials for class lectures. According to Duke, he has received no response to his charges or suggestions from any members of the administration, but he has received numerous letters and other forms of support from faculty members. "One student cheating is not a problem with me; one student stealing from me is not a problem," Duke said. "It bothers me that the university participated in a stu­ dent getting away with this. I'm not after him, I'm after my university." �The Appalachian, Thursday, October 26,1989 Homely guy crowned By RAE BEASLEY Assistant News Editor I ain't gonna shave my leggs," stated "Brandi Wine," alias John McPherson, as he won the first annual 1989 contest Miss Yo-Queen on Wednesday. The Homely Court,"sponsored by the Special Events Council of A.P.P.S., was a tongue-in-cheek look at Homecoming. Advisor to the Special Events Council Jean Roberts stated that the contest is not intended to make fun of the actual Home­ coming Court but to try something differ­ ent and maybe make this an annual event. Twenty different clubs submitted a male, dressed him as a female and pre­ pared him for the questions such as "Who is your role model?" Each contestant was escorted by a female dressed as a male. The pageant consisted of four judges, 20 contestants and Miriam Ribeiro as the master of ceremonies for the event. The judges were SGA President Brad Edwards, Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr. David Mclntire, and two members of the student body, Angela Gore and Lucy Kemp. First runner-up to McPherson was "Margarita Chiguita Ole," alias Jeff Johnson, who was selected in case YoQueen cannot fulfill "her" duties. McPherson was awarded a SlOOcheck for Delta Chi, the organization that spon­ sored him, and was awarded tickets to the Band of Oz and Chairman of the Board concerts, as well as future events A.P.P.S. is sponsoring. The award for Most Photogenic went to "Flossy Mae," alias WayneTeasley, as he represented BSA. Most entertaining went to "Gertrude," alias Robert Kotseos, rep­ resenting Chi Omega, and the best couple award went to "Prissy Patricia"and Becky Higbee. They both represented the Senior Committee. Edwards stated that he felt the event was something that livened up the week and also added: "Some of student body needed a release from the tension that some have felt in trying to make sure all theevents comeout well.This event served this purpose well; I hope to see this be­ come an annual event." Johnson stated: "I am honored to have been picked as the first runner-up to Miss Yo-Queen. Remember, I can be found in the November Playboy issue. My aspira­ tions now are to join up with Miss Brandi Wine and to sell Avon for a living. I would also like to escort SGA Vice President Pat Wooten to the 1989 Homecoming game." Ray WatTen, a student who saw the show stated that he felt the show was one of the funniest events here on campus, and he hopes that this will become an annual event. The Chairperson for the Special Events Council Kammy Eggleston stated: "I thought the event went well, considering it was something new. I was surprised at the crown the show gathered; I wasn't sure students would stick around to see who won the contest. I was pleased with student reaction; it made all the hard work worth the effort."

Roll was not always taken, but my records indi­ cated that he missed 22 more days after that date. Despite wretched attendance, he caughtmy attention by ranking first in two sections (100+students) after threeexams had been taken. A security breach that was uncovered led me to fear that Mr. X may have had access to my exams. Therefore, I person­ ally saw to the security of my exams. Mr. X's grades fell to the bottom of both sections on his last two tests. (Mr. X thereby became my only student ever to cam pluralities ofhighest and lo westgrades in the very same class.) Uncertain that cheating had occurred, I resigned myself to monitor closely Mr. X's final exam performance. While I be­ lieved he might have cheated, the evi­ dence was circumstantial. There was no smoking gun." One doesn't convict on suspicions alone, so I planned to let it go. I would grade Mr.X in just the same way as I grade all my students. tartnsno oj orto aiccn-j ori azsnyvuj.. • Voice Mr. X and I presented our respective testimonies and evidence to the AIB.

Local self-defense instructors say that they have seen an increase in the number of people inquiring about and registering for self-defense classes. "We have seen about a 10 percent in­ crease in thelevel of participation in martial arts classes," saidTeresa Goodwin, owner of a Dancer's Corner where martial arts and self-defense classes are offered through the Taekwon-Do Works martial arts school.

In order to help people become more aware and more informed of ways they can protect themselves against attack, Crane said the Quinn Center offered two self-defense seminars Tuesday night and will hold another Sunday night. According to Crane, Tuesday night's seminars were taught by Larry Bullard, a fifth degree black belt. Crane said Bullard is a local high school P.E. instructor who has been involved with the martial arts since 1969. According to Crane, the seminars were broken into two sessions—one at 8 p.m. for women and one at 9:30 p.m. for men. She said the sessions were divided so Training will help you be successful in managing an attack. You can avoid getting hurt, and if it is one of your goals, you can hurt your opponent or at­ tacker as the case may be. Larry Bullard "People are now more aware of the things that go on in our modem society," Goodwin said. She also said there has been an increase in the number of parents registering their children for self-defense and martial arts classes. The university and the Boone Police Department recently offered a two-hour self-defense program for employees and their spouses at the department. Recreational Sports Fitness and Facili­ ties Coordinator Sherry Crane says that although the interest in self-defense "has always been out there, recent situations have widely publicized the need to be able to defend yourself." According to Recreational Sports Di­ rector Dr. Jim Avant, Crane, a former YMCA instructor in Belleville, Ind., is responsible for initiating the idea of selfdefense classes for students at ASU. Crane said she came from Indiana two months ago to take the position at the university "partially because of the size of the town." Crane said that she was told Boone was a small town in a relitively crime-free area. Crane said that recent events prove that people should be aware of their sur­ roundings and avoid placing themselves Bullard could concentrate on different specific techniques which could be used separately by men and women. Bullard said that approximately 50 percent of the people he teaches in selfdefense classes are college students. He also says that there are many rea­ sons to learn self-defense or various mar­ tial arts. "Beside the obvious benefits of being able to protect against a would-be attacker," he said, "it's (martial arts) a lot of fun." According to Bullard, many psycholo­ gists say that a good physical workout is an ideal way to deal with stress. "It's a great way to manage your stress level,"he said. Bullard also said that it is an ideal way to maintain and manage one's physical fitness and help with weight control. Bullard said that he closed his intructional school school approximately 10 months ago. "I gained about 13 pounds in the elapsed time period," he said. According to Bullard, training in the martial arts can enhance mental skills and build self esteem and confidence. Obviously, Bullard said, participation in such an activity will improve fighting effectiveness and enable one to channel lion ASU 'BUSCH fear into either "planned reactions or an effective impulsive reaction" rather than the victim of an attack giving into panic and confusion. 'Training will help you be successful in managing an attack," he said. "You can avoid getting hurt, and if it is one of your goals, you can hurt your opponent or at­ tacker as the case may be." "Self-defense trainingcan develop your winning attitude and may save your life," he added. Crane said another women's self-de­ fense class, which will be held at the Quinn Center Sunday at 8 p.m., will be taught by ASU student Jeaneen Dohn. According to Crane, Dohm holds a black belt in karate. "Jeaneen is a small, petite girl," Crane said. "She proves you don'thave to be big, strong and mature to be able to defend yourself and get out of a threatening situ­ ation." Although Crane said there is no guaran­ tee that the methods taught at the seminars will work for everyone in all situations, she said they will promote self confidence and "an awareness that may keep them (self-defense students) from going into many dangerous situations." Crane said that self confidence is a very important aspect of self-defense. Studies have shown that people who appear selfconfident are less likely to be attacked. "The main thing we are trying to do with the self-defense seminars is let ev­ eryone know they need to maintain their self confidence, and provide for them a way to do that," Crane said. "Every situation isdifferent,"she added. "Maintaining self confidence and self control could make thedifference between being able to escape an attack or not." J COLDUJeU.

You do get more conservative about certain things as you grow older. All the lofty feelings and beliefs people experience in life are subject to change once in awhile. Sometimes, living in an intellectually stimulating environment is worthwhile, because it opens your mind, but so does living in a world full of dummies, radicals, "Jesus freaks," Marxists, College Republicans and ethnic activists. I've found that more groups around ASU and the nation will tell you what they don't like before they tell you what they do like. After all, both the media and public like it when people are protesting something rather than praising something else. One of my favorite protest groups are the students in South Korea who keep on wanting the United States to get out of their country. That's fine by me because if the country fell to communism, then their ports would close to American ships and you wouldn't see a whole bunch of rice-burning Hyundais and Samsung VCRs. If South Korea did fall, the only difference would be the name of the government. After all, the differences between a conservative party monopoly and a Marxist party monopoly are minimal, since both.are controlled by some general. I don't want to get too political on you, but that is a good example. My own little protests are a little closer to home, such as the local McDonald's. For the past few years, I've been trying my best to avoid the "golden arches" because they "kill the trees." God only knows which trees and where, but someone has been quick to tell me that Ronald McDonald is a mean lumber­ jack as well as a clown. Oh yeah, don't forget the fact that their styrofoam packaging is depleting the ozone layer. As you're reading this, some penguin isn't just getting a tan on the South Pole, but also skin cancer. Boycott Ronald and save the penguins. I've been good to my word and have avoided McDonald's burgers for years. 1 found out my own homemade burgers are worth the effort. Besides, if you cook your own burger, you can put anything you want on it. Have you ever tried to special order at a McDonald's? Talk about a fuss. The high school kid behind the counter gets a zit wondering whether it's against company policy. Then the McRib came back.... I've found that I am addicted to those sandwiches. It's one of those simple pleasures in life where you can chaump" just like the people in the commercials. McRibs themselves wen't so bad...even for McDonald's. This past week I actually walked into •he McD's and got a McRib. I want to tell all you "golden arches" enemies jftai it was good, and I have no guilt. ure, I helped kill a tree and gave a P^guin skin cancer, but I also contributed to the Ronald McDonald Houses in Durham and Winston-Salem.

It stands 1 foot and 6 inches tall, sits on a wooden base and "shines" with a dingy, goldenhue. So why does every residencehall on campus strive so hard to possess this trophy? There are four events which decide the Chancellor's Cup winner. The first is a "yell" contest in which the halls prepare a spirityell that is judged by the ASU cheer­ leaders. Second is a "black and gold" spirit dance, and the winner of this event is determined by the percentage of hall resi­ dents who attend. Next in the series of events is the build­ ing and banner contest. Residents design spirit banners and decorate their buildings in the "Back in Black" theme. Finally, there is the SGA-sponsored Homecoming parade. The residence halls that partici­ pate are judged by RSA for their float entries. RSA has been sponsoring the Chancellor's Cup competition for three years now and the winner every year has been Doughton Hall. "I think it's thespirit that everyone hears about before they get here. They want to keep the tradition. It's a really big thing that everyone looks forward to," Doughton RSA President Laura Updike said. She also feels that her hall has the advantage in tradition, reputa­ tion and creativity. Obviously, many of the other residence halls would like to have the cup in their lobbies. Coltrane plans to build the first "live" Homecoming float ever. Coltrane Resident Director Molly Donnelly wouldn't go into any more detail, but she added that the cup competition is a good way to "build memories." Gardner RSA President Moe Peacock has a committee thatgoes around knocking on doors "being obnoxious" to arouse the spirit of the hall. nates with a big cookout Friday at noon. Boyd added: "I think a lot of buildings are excited about it this year. The winner of this is going to be the school." Winkler's strong effort may be surpris­ ing to some who believe that upperclass halls are harder to motivate than freshman halls. That stereotype is not necessarily true. Many upperclass halls are strong com­ petitors and, in contrast, many freshman halls don't make a serious attempt to win. Spirit obviously does not hold to class distinctions, but rather to the presentation of the residence hall staff and the willing­ ness of its residents. The hall that seems to be mounting the most serious charge to take the cup is Winkler. RSA President Rob Smith and RD Karen Boyd have been planning since this past summer. One of the first things the Winkler staff did to challenge for the cup was to "borrow" it from Doughton Hall. Smith said, "We sent them on a fourhour wild goose chase on a Friday night. We left clues all around campus and they finally found the cup in the Chancellor's yard." Winkler's RSA is offering many incentives for their residents this week, including food and prizes. It all culmi­ The overall feeling of each residence hall's staff is that this year's competition will be very beneficial to school spirit as a whole. The cup is not a superficial token of one building's dominance over the others. It is, according to Campus RSA President Jennifer Shiflet, "a way to pro­ mote Homecoming in the halls and on campus. It's to get everybody involved and spirited for Homecoming week." It seems that no matter who gets to display the Chancellor's Cup for the up­ coming year, ASU Residence Life can only be the better for it. Do you know who had "a By JOHNATHAN HOLLAND Apallachlan Staff Writer Recently many questions have been asked about the quality of education in America. This is even more pertinent to students here because North Carolina ranked last in SAT scores. Many students get through high school and even into college without knowing even the most rudimentary fundamentals about history, literature, math,science and even the world around us. This past week two freshmen English classes took a survey designed by a group of seniors at Watauga High. Of 34 ques­ tions, only one was not a part of the basic high school curriculum, not just for Watauga High, but for the whole nation. Here are a few sample questions. These include the ones most missed, the ones Piccadeli pours it on Boone's best bartenders found By SHERYL GLAUM Appalachian Staff Writer Piccadeli Restaurant's Paula Dickin­ son and Lauren Curtis are "Boone's Best B artenders."They raised $205 in a contest sponsored by Boone Jaycees to donate to the Bum Center in Chapel Hill. The ten bars in Boone and Blowing Rock together raised about $600, between Sept. 11 and Oct. 4. The winners received an all ex­ pense paid trip to Myrtle Beach. Dickinson and Curtis agree that the loyalty of their regular customers won the contest. When the bar was busy, like on Mondays for the football game, custom­ ers would help circulate the jar.

Many come be­ cause they know that therewill be a friendly face and a cold beer waiting for them. Bob Brown, a regular at Piccadeli, says Dickinson and Curtis bring in the custom­ ers. He has been going to the bar since it opened and says it is the best bar in the area. Curtis called the customers "unique clientele." She said, "You learn so much about people; you can tell what mood they are in when they walk in the door." Dickinson said she felt like a part of the community instead of just another ASU student.

She said the biggest reason she won was the publicity, in the form of flyers, handed out by her fellow ROTC students. This Saturday, Sanzari will crown one of 10 finalists elected through­ out the week toserve on the Homecoming Court which will be presented during halftime of the football game. J After a successful reign Present queen loved spotlight By MARY STORELLA The ROTC used the pictures to their advantage by putting up about fifty post­ ers of Sanzari around campus. "I was so embarrassed, seeing pictures of myself wherever I went," she said. Appakhbn SUIT WrIUr Last year on a clear, crisp Saturday afternoon, everybody gathered at the sta­ dium for the homecoming game against Furman. Since ASU got trampled, the only reprise was to wait for halftime and the announcementof Homecoming Queen. 1 he moment finally arrived. Tensions mounted in the crowd, and finally, Sue Sanzari stepped forward as the 1988 Homecoming Queen. Howdidshe, afreshman ROIC woman, get to be the prestig­ ious Hoinecomig Queen? Being a freshmen nominee was diffi­ cult for Sanzan. She was harassed by many of the upper classmen, but still was able to have a good time with it. The ROTC was very supportive and she was able to recruit many new people for mili­ tary science classes. When Sanzari went to thegame, shedid notexpect to win.On the arm of her father, she lined up with the other girls in the "I took MSI (Military Science 1) to met court. Her fatherand she joked andlaughed people," said Sanzari with a laugh. She while they waited. When the runner-up never expected to be nominated, let alone was announced, her father said, "Maybe to win. In fact she just joked about the next year." Then Sanzari heard her name notion of her winning. called for queen. She said the ROTC nominated a few girls.1 hey then voted among themselves, Regarding that moment, she said, "I and she was chosen to run.

Service group aids Bostonia^ By RICHARD DERRENBACHER Appalachian Staff Writer A dozen volunteers from ASU spent their recent fall break in Boston, Mass., helping the less fortunate. These volun­ teers are part of the Student Community Service Project, a service group formed to make students aware of the problems in our community and to give the students the chance to help the community through hands-on service. This group of 11student volunteers and one faculty member went to Boston to work in cooperation with the "League," Boston University's service group. The group worked with local agencies including the Food Bank, Habitat for Humanity andThe Food Rescue Service and helped tutor elementary school chil­ dren in after-school programs. Jill Martin, the director of Student Community Services, explained what types of work were done. Martin said tasks involved going to local food stores to salvage dented cans and crushed boxes of food that were distributed to needy families, area shelters, and soup kitchens in the area. The group also helped to build and finish homes for the homeless. Through "Habitat for Humanity," homes are built for the homeless. Often the famil.es that are to move into these homes take a major role in building them. The groupdid everything from painting to sanding and were happy to say the home they worked on was near completion. helping to solve these Project also helps out the P^blem \ Cn working with 14 area agenci!"11"1'1^ the Watauga Youth Network the Hunger Coalition. ^ At present there are about 60 ntem of the group.

ALLEN Appalachian Diversions Editor As the parade of musical releases by Ider artists continues to string itself out ^foteoureyes, thenewestmembermarchm the uniform beat would seem to be Jyjoel. Like the Rolling Stones before 1^ [,is style has changed from energetic and angry with mellow spots to low-enffgy sing-by-numbers music with occajonal returns to form. The newest album from Joel, "Storm Front," is mostly lackin the kind of overpowering energy so jppealing in earlier works like "Turnstiles" and "52nd Street," leaning instead 10ward the tepidity of the Stones' newest lelease, "Steel Wheels." I sort of pine for the rage of, say, "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)," or "Angry Young Man," or (specially the live version of "Captain Jack" - the songs, which are invariably better live, that make you feel like couch dancing upon the first rendition of the chorus. It used to be that Joel played everyth ing with that sort of verve. On the lasttwo albums -"The Bridge" and "Con­ cert," the Russianconcert album (recorded on the 1987 tour of Moscow that Joel undertook) - his performances got limp ind powerless. Perhaps being married to Christie Brinkley will do that to anyone... However, despite his newfound tepid­ ity, it's difficult to fault an album as downright good as "Storm Front." There seems to be enough songwriting ability leftinBilly to at least provide the potential for some real roof-raising on the next tour, and he even offers us a preview on a few of the cuts. The album opens with some miscellaneous noise, then a quaint Bon Jovi-esque count-off. The rest of the song sounds like Steve Winwood yelling. That's not necessarily bad, though - it Ally cooks, and the harmonica, ably payed by Don Brooks, lights up the cho­ uses. The lyrics are a charged-up defense of a thinly disguised Christie Brinkley figure and her misreported excesses. I must confess my dismay at the count-off, but my appetite had been thoroughly whetted at the end, and I was even faintly optimistic. Leningrad," a gentle ballad with a slightly uptempo chorus, comes next. My favorite song on this album, it tells the story of a Russian man who loses his father in WWII. After his own armystint, he becomes a circus clown in Leningrad, where Joel and his daughter Alexis meet him. Throughout, Joel juxtaposes his own easy, well-protected life in Levittown U.S.A. boomer version of REM's "It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," the lyrics count down the years from 1949 to the present, with a few wellchosen names for each year until 1964, then a furious cascade of images through the last twenty-five. Ilreaffirmed my faith in Joel's ability to convey the anger and intense emotion created in him by memo­ ries such as, "U-2, Synghman Rhee, pay­ This simple pairing of the cultures from ola and Kennedy...Pope Paul, MalcolmX, which these two entertainers spring turns British politician sex/J.F.K., blown away, out to be more effective at bridging the what else do I have to say." gap between our cultures than any presi­ I'm glad that"We Didn't Start the Fire" dential visit hoped to be.

Itmovesbriskly along, driven by a fierce chorus line that you can sing along with as soon as you hear it. It also holds a place in my heart as the only song with the true-to-life Billy Joel piano style on it. If you listen to any of his old songs - again, especially the live versions where he's really jamming - he plays these ringing chords that catch up with each other and cascade towards the end of the bar; a unique and uplifting sound. It was curiously absent in the later works, and where it appeared on the Rus­ sian "Concert" album, it didn't really do too much for me. I believe that Bon Jovi did,in fact, write the next song, "Shameless." I just wish they'd kept it. God knows it's no reach for Billy Joel. Maybe he should have given it to Warrant, to really challenge them musically... The title track begins the second side with a healthy dose of Memphis horninflected blues. The lyrics aren't neces­ sarily avant-garde, but then blues, even upbeat blues, isn't supposed to be bril­ liantly inventive. It's supposed to beeasy to sing along to. In this, it succeeds admirably. ANGRY OLD MAN: Billy Joel, after taking some time off to have children, tour Russia and spend time with his wife, Christie Brinkley, has released a new album. "Storm Front" marks a return to much of the old energy and verve that used to be so distinctive in his music.

Hallstrom) The story of a 12-year-old boy whose mother is dying of tuberculosis is a sweet and sad story of growing older and grow­ ing wiser.

"LOCAL HERO" (1983, Bill Forsyth) Scottish filmmaker Bill Forsyth's ("Gregory Girl," "Housekeeping") "Lo­ cal Hero"is the closest any filmmaker has come to creating a fairy tale for the postnuclear generation. Full of wit and warmth, Forsyth's story concerns a small Scottish fishing village and the Texas oil corpora­ tion that wants to buy it—all of it Twists and turns abound in this disarmingly simple tale that contains (among other things) a mermaid with a Ph.D., punks with green hair and a CEO (magi­ cally played by Burt Lancaster) more in­ terested in the stars than company profits.

Head is averaging 11 yards perception, while Drake is accumulating 10.7 yards per catch. The offensive line is composed of four returning starters, two seniors and two juniors. This gives that unit a lot of expe­ rience as well as depth. On thedefensive side, senior linebacker Junior Jackson (6 feet, 242 lbs.), led the team in tackles as he was in on 93 halts going into last week's content. Fifty-two of those tackles were unassisted. Junior Derrick Willis (6 feet, 1 inch, 199 lbs.) was next in total tackles with 55 from his free safety position. Also with 55 tackles entering The Citadel match-up was noseguard junior Billy Glanton (6 feet, 1 inch, 297 lbs.). Sophomore Jackie Washington (6 feet, 177 lbs.), cornerback, pulled down the most interceptions, three, in the squad's first six games. Behind Washington is Willis with two. Freshman Rodney Allen (5 feet, 9 inches, 158 lbs.) is responsible for the kicking duties. Allen was 7-10 on field goals going into last week's battle, while he was 8-8 on point after conversions. Punting for the Mocs should be handled by sophomore Pumpy Tudors (5 feet, 10 inches, 210 lbs.) who is averaging 41.6 yards per punt. The Mountaineers are trying to prevent the Moccasins from picking up two con­ ference victories in a row.

By PATRICK WOOTEN Appalachian Staff Writer point-guard. She shows transition from inside as well as the perimeter shot. Mitzy Yount saw a lot of playing time as a freshman. Yount, a sophomore, was High School Player of the Year and was highly recruited. There are five newcomers to the team this season. Karen Gruca is pushing for the starting role as point guard. In high school, Gruca had an excellent year where she expressed her quickenss and good defense. Another freshman, Reginalkard, from South Iredell High School, shows tremendous athletic ability. Ikard should play power forward. "After learning the system, she (Ikard) should do really well," Coach Robinson said. Freshman Nemoa Konrad had knee surgery before the school year started, but now, after a slow start, may be able to participate. Konrad was also a highly recruited high school player. She plays strong post and according to Coach Robin­ son the Lady Mountaineers need her size and overall ability. Lori Williams, another Jeff Fiercey WASU " Sports Director newly installed player, will add depth in X die backcourt. "We have an extremely^ young team this season. It's going to be different this year because of not having the older play­ ers," Coach Robinson said, "but we're rebuilding with ladies who play an intense game." Coach Robinson feels the women's basketball program has a tough schedule ahead, one of the toughest schedules in the Southern Conference. The season begins with the Appalachian Sheraton Tourna­ ment which will be played during Thanksgiving weekend. The first two months of the season consist of non-conferenceplay, while die final half of the season is mainly Southern Conference competiton. 'There is no one on our schedule that we can prepare to play well against and come out winners. We're going to have to go out everyday and play hard," Coach Robinson commented. "Also it gives us a challenge this year not to bechosen to win. I'm really excited about theseason,"Coach Robinson added.

Head Coach Tom Apke will hold the scrimmage following the Homecoming football game. The Mountaineers return eight lcttermen and four starters from last season's 20-8 squad. Heading the list of returnees are: All-Southern Conference center Sam Gibson, Kemp Phillips, Rod­ ney Peel and Ben Miller. All four were starters a year ago and averaged double figures in scoring for the season. We wanted to give our fans an oppor­ tunity to see us in a game situation and also give our players a chance to perform be­ fore a crowd and to break the regular practice routine," said Apke, in his fourth season as head coach. "We hope people will just walk from the football stadium to the gym for the scrimmage. We think they will have a good time." ASU Holds Substance Abuse Activities ASU athletics, in conjunction with the Southern Conference, will hold its second annual Substance Abuse AwarenessWeek, Oct. 21-28. The program is intended to give student-athletes a means of express­ ing their feelings concerning substance abuse. MACE® ORDER FORM • YES! I'm concerned about my personal safety and Among the activities planned for the week, 5,000 posters dealing with sub­ stance abuse will be distributed to the public at the Appalachian football game against UT-Chattanooga on Oct. 28. In addition. Southern Conference "NO DRUGS" lapel pins will be worn by stu­ dent-athletes, administrators and staff. A special feature of this year's program will be "NO DRUGS" wristbands which will be worn by both Appalachian and UT-Chattanooga football players during the Oct. 28 contest. Cheerleaders will also distribute wristbands to children during the game. Each ASU athletic team member will have the opportunity to sign a petition pledging to be drug-free for the next year, with the petition being presented during a pregame ceremony for the UT-Chat­ tanooga game. Public address announcements will be aired featuring ASU Football Coach Jerry Moore, Men's Basketball Coach Tom Apke, Women's Basketball Coach Linda Robinson and Athletic Director Jim Gar­ ner. Also Mountaineer student-athletes will be speaking to junior high schools and civic groups in the community about stay­ ing drug-free. ^ r% Stoiehiig? agree that carrying MACE makes good sense.

Intramural Football Despite the "unpredictable Boone weather" lately, intramural flag football is well into another competitive fall season. Men's, women's and co-rec make up the three divisions of the intramural flag foot­ ball program at ASU. The season is half­ way completed, and the race for first is tight in each division. "We're getting down to the end of the season, so the game are becoming ex­ tremely competitive,"Team Sports Coor­ dinator Robert Reeve said. With only one week to go in men's and women's flag football competition and three weeks left for co-rec competition, the rankings are becoming very impor­ tant. To get into the flag football tourna­ ment, teams must post three wins or more during the regular season. This applies to all three divisions of the flag football program The intramural officials hope that the weather will cooperate in order to get the tournaments underway as sched­ uled. Sunday, Oct. 29, from 9-11 p.m., the top four men's flag football teams will play at Kidd Brewer Stadium. These games will help determine who will be in the upcoming tournaments. • I'M INTERESTED IN BECOMING A MACE DEALER. PAYMENT INFORMATION • Check/Money Order enclosed Charge my • MC • VISA Exp. Date.

ASU kicker Jay Millson is getting betterwith every game; so far he has kicked six of seven field goals He is, however, only 10 of 14 on the PAT attempts.

Rivers Street needs improvements With heavy pedestrian traffic,a common occurrenceat ASU, drivers have [Obligation to drive with extra care when near the university. One of the busiest streets in Boone, especially during the hours of 8 a.m. 16 p.m., is Rivers Street. Students are constantly crossing this street, msequently slowing traffic considerably. Fortunately, thereare two tunnels ider the street and several crosswalks, the most prominent being the one seated near the Walker College of Business Building. In addition, many Hents cross at whatever location is most convenient for them, not where t ^designated crossing areas are located. This is understandable, taking into pint the considerable distance between crosswalks and tunnels. Driving through this area can be most frustrating at times with people iting out in front of vehicles. Yet, this would not be a significant problem people would drive the posted speed limit of 25 miles per hour. However, :iialmost impossible to drive through this area while observing the legal teed limit and not be tailgated by other motorists. Die reason this speed limit is not observed on a consistent basis is because non-school hours, the traffic is so light through the area that it seems llous to have to drive at such a slow speed. But motorists beware, Rivers »Itet is regularly patrolled by the Boone Police Department, Watauga •ty Sheriff s Department, the North Carolina Highway Patrol and, of Jurse, ASU Security. lis obvious that the solution to this problem would be to have situational ^fluctuating speed limits similar to the ones in regular elementary and high tool zones. This would lessen attempts by bored drivers to "chance it" 'tough this area by exceeding the speed limit. Another safety measure for this area would be the installation of a tunnel toe the current crosswalk is near the business building. When classes are out, hundreds of students are crossing the street and traffic is iilinually delayed. This would not only speed up traffic, but would insure ; udentsafcty by keeping them away from anxiousdrivers hurrying down the wt Another good location for an additional tunnel would be at the oswalk between "D lot" and the grassy area in front of Wey Hall, fie traffic light at the intersection of Rivers Street and Stadium Drive "traffic up with cars trying to make a left turn onto Stadium Drive.

I am forced to wonder why, because: (1) He did deserve his stiff penalty. (2) He did not have God rain "blue funk" on all who sided against him. (3 He will not enjoy his tenure in prison, though Tammy Faye will have lots of new competition for his affection. I think the real reason I feel so "blah" is because no justice was done by condemning Jimmy to prison. Sure, he should pay—and handsomely—but how is 45 years behind bars (much less 10)and a mere $500,000 fine going to make up for $158 million in squandered chari­ table donations? And more importantly, what about the thousands of lives he twisted in an ungodly fashion? Basically, there is no way he can ever repay these people he so wantonly bilked for many small fortunes. For many "investors," their smalldonations amounted to a fortune to them—an unrecoverable fortune. This is why there can be no justice done in this sordid little chapter in the annals of Big Business Christianity. The only faith Jim and Tammy ever exhibited (I apolo­ gize to all zoos for tarnishing this word) was that the Lord would provide for them. Now that I have brought Tammy Faye into the picture, I should state I think she isjust as guilty as Jim. And while 1 am on her case—wipe that disgusting glop of dead Michael Boykin rabbit fetuses off your otherwise remarkably unremark­ able face. So sue me you underside of a swayback sow. And maybe those devoted followers who Bakker swindled were actually being looked after by God. After all, is it not easier to get into Heaven as a poor person? If so, God was using Jimmy as a tool to facilitate the salvation of these misguided Christians who thought a theme park was the best way to commune with God and other Christians. In an effort to steer (no pun intended) them away from the dreaded "golden moo moo syn­ drome," God would see, through Bakker, that they be­ came udderly couldtn't resist destitute monetarily. So, in essence, Jim and Tammy may be saintly pawns in God's Big Game of Chess in the Sky. Their destiny may have been to save thousands of people from eternal sunburn. They even gave these misguided souls a taste of this damnation at their infernal waterpark. I wonder whose ingenius contribution that was. Do not think I have finished with you, Jimmy. Amazingly enough, you have done more to stain the already spotted image of God in our country than Jerry "$20 a prayer" Falwell, Jimmy "palm—not to be con­ fused with psalm" Swaggart and Ernest "heal me, baby" Angely combined.

A sense of could one day be the same as choosing a laundry detergent. Candidates' commer­ cials might begin to refer to opponents as "Brand X" and themselves as "New and Improved." To prevent this decay in democracy, I suggest the establishment of regulations designed to control political sidetracking and sensationalism. Let the news media have a monopoly on digging up negative facts about candidates and only allow politicians to advertise about themselves. Of course the first amendment prevents anything like this from happening, but what is important to recognize is the need for change. George Bush would certainly strike down such a proposal, calling it "unAmerican." He would rattle on about how this communist infiltrator from Appala­ chian State wrote a column promoting the use of goverment-controlled propaganda. My only response to these attacks would be, "Maybe so, but at least my wifedoesn't make Aunt Bea look young." Then I'd crack another brew, sit back and watch old George sweat.

I am a 25-year-old junior who just got out of the U.S. Navy after six years service. When I came to Boone a few months ago, I naively believed that I had left violence behind in the Persian Gulf and in the major cities I've lived in. I think Mr. Cook is also being a little naive in his assumptions that the "positive efforts" of the Boone Police Department, ASU Security and student awareness will "make Boone safe once again." I agree that these measures will help a tremendous amount, but nothing will eliminate crime—in New York City or in Boone.

(Oct. 19). Plenty, unless, of course, we allow groups such as the prolife movement to take those choices away from women and place them in the hands of politicians. The pro-life movement (or shall we call it anti-choice) would have us believe that the pro-choice movement is encouraging abortion. I believe they are missing the point. The pro-choice movement is simply fighting to keep abortion as a legal alternative to an unwanted pregnancy, not the only one. If the pro-live movement succeeds, however, there will be only one choice: to carry an unwanted child to term. Nothing is more tragic than a young girl whose life is changed forever by unwanted pregnancy; unless, of course, it is the unwanted, unloved child she was forced to bring into the world. True, life is precious thing, and I'm glad I have it, but for an unwanted child, some things are worse than death. Rachel Catron ASU Box 17144 benefit the youth in placei ;menu Landship House.

Whenever I travel around North Carolina, I feel considerable pleasure in seeingyoung people, most of them products over the past 25 years of our public schools, tech­ nical and community colleges and our higher education resources. Many ambitiousyoung people are doing well for themselves, buying homes and raising families. Many, though not all, are making good money, looking foward to a life as materially rewarding and fruitful as their parents who are now retiring. But every time I reflect on this particu­ lar groupof successful young people,I get a surge of anger. They are being short­ changed, they are being hoodwinked and they are being sand-bagged. They are the ones who will have to pay off the unprecedented $3 trillion national debt, now growing at the rate of nearly $300 billion a year. Yet even worse than that, their very future is being put in hock, without their knowledge, for their own government is lying to them (indeed to all of us) about the magnitude of the debt that darkens their prospects for tomorrow. The president announced with a degree of satisfaction that we were making prog­ ress with the deficit, that in his first budget we had reduced the deficit to less than $100 billion. One hundred billion is badenough news, but that statement is a bold, direct and knowing lie.The deficit was not decreased. The deficit was increased. It will be $265 billion. What the president was saying is that his administration, with the help of the Congress, had managed to cover up more of the deficit than we had been able to cover up the year before. Sure, I know some will say I am being partisan. Some aresaying Congress could balance the budget if it had the will. All I want to do is to present the facts. The measureof our annual deficit is the increase in the national debt For fiscal year 1990, that increase will be at least $265 billion. We willcover up all but$100 billion of this increase by putting our pension funds. Social Security and others on the bottom line as if they were income. These funds belong to a trust, not to the government. Then we pay out interest to these trust funds that hold our government securities and, believe it or not, we count those payments as income to the govern­ ment so they can be used to cover up more of the deficit. Then we hold the back highway and other dedicated funds that help conceal the deficit. The "Honest Budget Act" would re­ move the cover-up for Fiscal Year 1990 and require the full amount of $265 billion to be shown to the tax-paying public. The "Honest Budget Act" would show you that 40 cents of every tax dollar collected goes to pay interest on the rising dept. It would unmask Gramm-Rudman's false budget targets and it would expose the fraud of using Social Security to mask teh deficit. People may not understand deficits, but they understand debt and interest. And they understand honesty. An honest budget is the first step to a fiscally honest government, and that is the first step to getting the younger and work­ ing generation out of hock before it is too late.

Marching Band Can't Play "Louie Louie" (CPS)— The University of South Carolina has asked its marching band to stop — playing "Louie Louie" at football games, for fear dancing fans will cause Williams Brice football stadium stands to collapse. Dean of Student Life Jerry T. Brewer told banddirector James Copenhaver that the insurance Reserve Fund, which insures the stadium, "specifically mandated that Louie Louie' not be played." John Trussell of the Insurance Reserve Fund denied the fund had outlawed any songs, and figured it is unlikely the stadium could collapse from dancing fans in any case. — "Structurally, if you've got the whole student body out therejumping up and down constantly for 75 years, you might have some metal fatigue,"Trussell said. "But with only six or eight games a year, it will fall down from old age long before that." Separate engineering studies have deemed the stadium safe, although Williams fee's east upper deck did start to sway under dancing fans at the 1986 Nebraska game. It was a frightening thing to watch," Copenhaver recalled. Structural problems have plagued other stadiums. Memorial Stadium at the University of Illinois shook violently during agamein 1982. Arizona State University PWed $6.5 million during a three-year period into Sun Devil Stadium to keep it from sinking into the ground. Part of Husky Stadium at the University of Washington collapsed in 1987. To alleviate some of the worry of the stands falling, USC has moved some student "•fog to lower levels of the stadium, openhaver agreed to refrain from playing the song and to stop any other piece nen or if anyone observes the stands swaying. He also agreed to warn visiting bands 11 fe potential problem. We didn't want to dampen the spirits of students,"Copenhaver said. He took the «uf • '"ou'e L°u'e" philosophically. ., "c've grown a little tired of the song. We still play it sometimes at peprallies, but '"lot as popular as it was two years ago," Copenhaver said, adding that "I Feel Good-" "Under the Boardwalk," and "Land of 1,000 Dances" are the more popular Pep band songs this season. The autumn air of Boone buzzed with excitement as the Charlotte Hornets opened their 1989-90season with training camp at VarsityGymnasium Friday morn­ ing to an audience of 3,100. The Hornets arrived in Boone Thurs­ day evening for five days of pre-season drills. Training began for the 18 Charlotte players and prospects at 10 a.m. Friday morning. Hornets Coach Dick Harter commented on his reasons for bringing the club to Boone. "This is a nice university and a nice town. It gives us a chance to get away from the distractions of Charlotte." Harter added, "It is just about the right distance away, not too far yet far enough." Harter saidASUhead basketball coach Tom Apke was another reason the Hornets came to Boone. "I have known Tom Apke and I knew he would do a good job hosting us." The Hornets practice schedule consisted of two sessions per day. The club partici­ pated in a closed two hour session from 10 a.m. to noon each morning of their stay in Boone. Friday through Monday the team also held an afternoon session from 5 to 7 p.m., which consisted of mini-intrasquad scrimage games. These games were open to the public. ASU Sports Information Director Rick Covington said: "This is. of course, great exposure for ASU. All the newspaper datelines say Boone, not Charlotte.""It is also great exposure for the Hornets," Covington said.

On Wed­ nesday, the club will depart for Texas where they will face the Dallas Mavericks Thursday for their first preseason game. Preseason practices will conclude on Thursday, Nov. 2, with the first regular season game slated for Nov. 3, against the Washington Bullets. Rookie free agents invited to the ASU camp included Terry Dozier, Hubert Henderson, Mike Jones and Clifford Lett. The Hornets wrapped up their opening training camp this morning and plan to Covington said: "By coming to Boone, the players and coaches are getting achance to see that they are not just a phenomenon in Charlotte. I think the Charlotte people were surprised with the crowd that turned out on Friday. I don't think they expected 3,100 people to show up just to watch them practice. It seems like everyone has got something with 'Charlotte Hornets' on it, whether it be a hat, a t-shirt or some other article of clothing,"Covington said. "By the team getting out they arerealizing that the whole area is Hornets crazy." Entering into their second year in the National Basketball Association, the Hornets have several new players to work into their offensive and defensive struc­ ture. Of the new team members, the most widely publicized is J.R. Reid, whom the Hornets signed as their first round draft choice last Wednesday. Other new faces who received invita­ tions to the opening camp were Stuart Gray, whom the Hornets acquired from Indiana, and Andre Turner, a 5-11 point Escort acquires van Appalachian Staff Reports According to SGA President Brad Edwards, the university has given Moun­ taineer Escort a university van to operate along with the service's regular walking escort service. Edwards said, "The sole reasoning behind this acquisition is to enhance and improve the escort system as a whole." He said, however, that the addition of the van would not cause the boundaries of the service to be expanded. Mountaineer Escort Director Jeff Hullander said the reasoning behind the decision not to ex­ pand the current operational boundaries was to prevent Mountaineer Escort from becoming a "taxi service." Mountaineer Escort boundaries are the Courthouse on King Street, the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, Kingswood Apartments, and Horn in the West parking lot. Edwards said that he feels the addition of the van, along with other possible addi­ tions, will help improve the service, but considers the main advantage of the van to be a "safer way to travel throughout cam­ pus." The Mountaineer Escort van will help speed up the process of escorting females to the perimeter areas covered by the serv­ ice, Edwards said and he added, "The escort system will still have walking es­ corts since it is still easier to walk than to drive to most areas on campus." According to Edwards, the van to be permanently used by the service is cur­ rently being repaired, but the university has given the service a temporary mini Astro-Van to use in the interim. He said that either van may be identified by mag­ netic signs which read "Mountaineer Escort-Call 262-6438." Edwards also said that a few "quasiescort services" have been set up in sev­ eral residence halls. "We encourage these residence halls to follow the same proce­ dures as those of Mountaineer Escort," Edwards said. He added that Mountaineer Escort is not affiliated with the escort services sponsored by individual residence halls. According to Edwards, plans are being discussed toextend the Mountaineer Escort service to cover Friday and Saturday nights. He said that a problem with the idea would be the possible lack of volun­ teers. "Since we are a volunteer organization we have to see if we have enough people to work on these nights." He added that more research would be done to deter­ mine the feasibility of the expanded serv- College Students Need Help Appalachian Photo by Trey Horacfc HORNETS BUZZ BOONE: Hornets star center Kurt Rambis goes up for a "slam" during the team's trainingcamp inV arsity Gym.

Conlisk said the Miller Brewing Com­ pany "shares the concerns of college administrators, but the approach to con­ trolling and curbing alcohol abuse is through education of consumers, not control of the product." UND Residence Services Directory Terry Webb imposed the new rule, be­ cause he says beer-can pyramids and alco­ hol-related posters create an impression that drinking is allowed in the dorms, where, according to him, it's actually been banned for years. UND students say they can understand banning empty containers, but think the sign ban is a "dumb idea." "It doesn't make any sense; it won't stop people from drinking," said UND sophomore John Bratelli. "You don't have to be 21 to have a poster. If that was the case, you couldn't buy them in stores," he added. "Signs give the perception that, yes, this is okay, when it's not," Webb said. Other campuses are also trying to drive images of alcohol from their properties. President of California State Univer­ sity at Chico, Robin Wilson, warned in early September he would force the cam­ pus newspaper to cut back on the number of alcohol-related ads it takes, and would disassociate the school from all activities sponsored by beer and liquor companies. Separately, outgoing U.S. Surgeon Genera] C. Everett Koopsaid he'dsoon be sending disapproving letters to college presidents who still allowed beer and liq­ uor firms to promote events on their campuses. According to "The Charlotte Observer,"college students are ignorant of basic facts thought. The National Endowment for the Humanities is urging all colleges to e^Sthen core requirements. They propose a 50-hour curriculum which will reguire ^ American history course, a year of math, two western civilization courses, and two oUnn ^a ^ore'8n language.

"We recognize that people aren'tgoing to stop drinking altogether; even prohibi­ tion didn't work," he said. UND dorm resident Matt Hollifield said, alcohol-related signs might not "portray a good image for the university but people shouldn't be told they can'texprcss them­ selves just because it doesn't paint a pretty picture." Webb said the new restrictions are no different from living in an apartment or condominium that may be controlled by covenants. "If I thought (the rule) violated their rights, I wouldn't do it," Webb said. Turn the page ... From the National Weather Service... Are you safety conscious?

Oh, please tell me I " The mailman is way too used to my routine by now, so he just replies with his usual response, "No, but if you want the bills for apartment four, then you can take 'em all." Just like any other person destined to be caught in is situation, I run back inside the apartment very quickly so the bills can't track me down. Two years ago, I found I suffered om a chronic case of "postaphobia," the fear of not getting mail. It's not contagious in the true sense of the word, but all ASU students get it about the same time they get their first cold. Forme it's now worse because I have two mailboxes, which means either twice the joy when I receive a bunch of friendly letters or twice the sorrow when I receive nothing but the weekly loses or Wal-Mart sale advertisements.

Students around ASU's campus have their favorite Hornets players as well as ones they like to make new jokes about.

Tenants should know rights By ANNE HUTCHESON Appalachian Staff Writer Problems arising from landlord disputes or conflicts in leases are not uncommon for ASU students. Many of these disputes could be avoided if tenants understood the privileges and limitations of leasing an apartment. Landlords have the right to evict a ten­ ant if there is any violation of the rental agreement. They must follow a special court preceding called summary eject­ ment to cancel the tenant's lease. It is unlawful in North Carolina for the land­ lord to cut off utilities or lock out a tenant as a means of self help. Immediate evic­ tion is also unlawful. A tenant with an annual lease must be given 30days before actual vacating of the premises. Monthly tenants must receive seven days' notice. Tenants have the right to complain to the landlord or to the appropriate legal services if the landlord fails to live up to his responsibilities by law, without fear of eviction. Most landlords charge their tenants a security deposit that is redeemable at the end of the lease. The deposit by law can­ not exceed two months rent if the period of the tenant's occupancy is greater than month to month. The General Statutes of North Carolina, sections 42-50, state se­ curity deposits "shall be deposited in a trust account with a licensed and insured bank or saving institution located in the state of North Carolina." Within 30 days of the beginning of the lease, the landlord is required to notify in writing the address of the banking institution that holds that tenant's deposit. The landlord can legally withhold the security deposit to protect himself against loss if a tenant refuses to pay rent, dam­ ages property, leaves without proper no­ tice before the end of the lease agreement or if the landlord has court fees from eviction or re-renting property. However, the landlord must refund the security deposit or present an itemized billing of witholdings within 30 days after the end of the lease. It is unlawful to witlihold the security deposit for normal wear and tear of the rental property. Although many tenants believe a good way to get the landlord to perform a repair on the rental property is to withhold rent, in North Carolina it is unlawful to do so. The landlord is required to make repairs that tenants have submitted in writing and on the premises and any damages those guests create. "The landlord is under obligation to furnish a good and habitable quarter for the rental period," said attorney Wade. E. Brown of ASU Legal Services. Jlowever, if a problem does occur, the tenant should immediately notify the landlord in writ­ ing. It is wise for the tenant to make a copy of the statement for his records. The na­ ture of the problems will determine the reasonable amount of time that the land­ lord has to reverse the situation. If the problem is an emergency, then written description is not necessary. Tenants should also be aware that any additions or improvements made to the Appalachian Photo by K»rl* Smltt HORNETS FANS HAVE A FEEL FOR THE PURPLE AND TEAL: Two ASU students, as well as Hornets fans, were caught in full regalia last week. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of Hornets gear around campus, whether it's a T shirt, a cap or a Hornets cooking apron.

Cute beer ads mislead public By DALE KIRKLEY Special to the Appalachian Tenants have the right to complain to the landlord or to the appropriate legal services if the landlord fails to live up his resposiblities by law... "provide fit and habitable conditions" for the tenant. If the landlord does not comply to these conditions within six months, he can be released of his obligations by a court of law. The tenant is responsible for keeping the premises clean and in good condition, and is responsible for any damage or de­ facement of the property unless it was due to normal wear and tear. A tenant is re­ sponsible forhis guests and their behavior premises become a part of the property upon the termination of the lease. This includes bathroom fixtures, light fixtures, carpeting, shrubs, and shutters. As problems arise, tenants should seek legal advice as needed.

As one anonymous fan said"How can you like a player that gets posted up by Spud Webb (A 5-4 guard for Atlanta)?" Tradition usually separates the college fans from the pro spectators. Rick Bonnell of "The Charlotte Observer" said the professional fan, by nature, is usually "much more sophisticated and cynical, but because Carolinians were weaned on college basketball and its high drama, then the Hornets fans believe their enthu­ siasm can change the outcome of a close game to benefit Charlotte." McGregor, in addition, said though the NBA hasentered a region so steeped in college basketball tradition, "Pro fans have done nothing to diminish the basketball enthusiasm on Tobacco Road." frit? ®entjQt'n !end w'rit the problems I just Point J).0 ^ne day ' hit the critical en help needs to be sought...

Everyone ofus is subjected to the influ­ ence of the massive advertising campaign of the rich and powerful alcohol industry. How rich? Anheuser-Busch spends $10 million per yearjust topromote Budweiser beer, one of the 14 beer brands they pro­ duce. This $10 million is more than the entire annual budget of the National Insti­ tute on Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse. The alcohol industry claims the huge advertising campaigns are for thepurpose of influencing brand selection only. Yet many knowledgeable professionals real­ ize that the advertising has two other purposes — to recruit new users and to encourage increased consumption. As the international advertising expert Jean Kilbourne puts it, "obviously, when you are selling a product that kills people, you need to recruit new users." We've all been exposed to the clever, humorous and high quality TV commer­ cials advertising alcohol. It's important to realize that while we chuckle, there is a subtle process of manipulation occurring across our culture to support and increase alcohol consumption and further ingrain the cultural norm of acceptance. f Seeing an alcohol advertisement onTV can become a teachablemoment by taking the time to discuss the technique being used and what is not being told about the product. It is important to realize that the alcohol industry subdy directs certain advertising and marketing toward yo r people. Do you think it's the aging b?by boomers that think Spuds McKenzie is cute? What age group do you think the soda-pop-look-alike and sweet lasting, liter-size bottles of winecoolers are aimed to attract? There are anumber of ways the alcohol advertisers manipulate andpressure people to use their products. There are numerous personal testimonies of famous people, especially athletes. And of course sexi­ ness and success are often associated with the advertising. A very common theme of the ads is the notion of bubbling popular­ ity and rip-roaring fun associated in using the product. You may recall the TV alcohol ad that says "tastes great" and then "less filling." One of the famous athletes of that particu­ lar TV ad was in a homecoming parade at his alma mater, when the two sides of the street broke out in "tastes great" and "less filling." This athlete did not like being remembered for a beer commercial and has since become active in prevention education. Simply be aware of the motives and manipulations of the alcohol advertising industry. "See" their ads with new eyes and a deeper understanding of the other side of the issue.

After VMI punted twice and ASU once, the Mountaineers took over on their own 31 -yard line. After three completions and a9-yardrun by Campbell, ASU was on the VMI 10-yard line. The Mountaineeres were called for an ineligible player downfield penalty and were moved back to the 15-yard line, where Millson kicked a 32yard field goal giving ASU a20-0half time lead. VMI received the kickoff to begin the second half. Once again their drive was halted by a fumble. ASU took over on their own 29-yard line.

Harter looking forward to upcoming season By KAREN POPE Appalachian Staff Writer | "Greatenthusiasm" was highlighted in lie words of Dick Harter, head coach of iieCharlotte Hornets. Coach Harter spoke Sunday night in Farthing Auditorium as partof the year-long Forum series "Meit Culture, and Society." The most asked question was "Why did the Charlotte Hornets choose ASU to be part of their practice camp area?" "I have a great friendship with Coach Tom Apke. We love the area and the school, and the first few days of the camp have gone so well that it may leadto many, many, years of coming back," said Harter. ASU prepares for Furman showdown By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Editor Entering Saturday's game with the Paladins both ASU and Furman have something in common. Both Teams are toming off Southern Conference victoties. Furman defeated 16-ranked Marshall 'He ASUdefeated VMI. Alsoboth teams '"conly one loss on the year. The differ­ ent the losses are noticeable. Furman s'lo the Division I opponent Clemson " Mountaineers lost to The Cita«1.

But the top back 30 this year has been Bobby ,jkiiie|t0UCtldowns 'ast Daughcrty who has gained around 300 yards in five games this season. De Busk leads the team in total offense for the year averaging about 120 yards per game, while Daugherty is gaining about 60 yards per game. The Paladin defense returns six starters and 21 lettermen. Returning is the second leading tackier fromlastyear's team, Kevin Kendrick. He picked up where he left off last year averaging over 14 tackles per game. Defensive captain Brian Pitts is averaging almost 6 tackles a game includ­ ing one sack and a fumble recovery. Pat Turner, the other defensive captain, aver­ ages about five tackles a game and has one interception on the season. "All these things came together and helped us to have a successful season," Harter said. The Charlotte Hornets led the league in attendence last year. Harter also men­ tioned that Charlotte is a fantastic place to play because of all the great enthusiasm from the supporters and spectators. He felt the toughest and worst place in the NBA to play was in the Boston Gardens. In the upcoming season, Harter and Hornets will be facing a new challenge as they play in the Mid-West Division. "With playing in the Western schedule, we'll have a lot of extra traveling," Harter said. The extra miles may have an effect on the Hornets, but according to Harter, "It may not; we'll have to wait and see." There are 17 players trying for only 12 spots on the team. In the first few days of the camp, some of the players that were impressive were Rex Chapman, J.R. Reid, Stewart Gray, Jerry Sichting and Clifford Lett. Explaining the NBA, Harter said: "It's kinda crazy. My job is to be a manager to 12 millionaires. It's a challenge, but it's fun!" The NBA has a long season with 82 regular season games and 8 exhibition games. The life of an NBA player i»not always easy according to I larter. "A lot of times, we travel around non-stop playing game after game. After a while it can wear down a player." Harter also felt that the difference for him in coaching at the NBA level instead of the college level is that in the NBA, play is harder; one has to put more time into it and can really accommodate a certain personality. Harter likes NBA rules bet­ ter, but he would like to add another couple of seconds to the shot clock. "I feel it could give a team time to set-up and play better offense, " he said. Harter expressedhis feelingson whohe thinks are the 3 great players in the NBA, "Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, "Magic" Johnson of the LA Lakers, and Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics." In closing, Harter once again mentioned the enthusiasm in theCarolinas along with the love of his game. "I love being the Hornets' basketball coach, and I hope to come back here to ASU," he said. Jeff Turner The Appalachian Sports Editor Furman runs a Multiple 50 defense. Furman was ranked first in the Southern Conference in total defense and in scoring defense last year. On special teams, Furman returns sophomore punter Bruce Leicht who was second team All-Southern Conference last year. Leicht averaged 40.3 yards per kick last year and is averaging over 30 yards per punt this year. The field goals will be kicked by Glen Connally who kicked 10 for 16 last year, including a 48-yard field goal against Clemson. This year he is only 3-7 on attempts. Mike Wood will again handle the extra pointduties. Wood connected on 29-31 attempts last year and has hit 13-14 this year. Saturday's match will be played at Baladin Stadium on the campus of Fur­ man University in Greenville, S.C. Kickoff for the game is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Although Rex has come a long way from last year and showed much improve­ ment, he still has growing to do, " Harter said, "We were able to add J.R. Reid in the draft, and he has looked pretty strong in the first few days of practice." Hatter said the Hornets are always looking to trade. There were four main areas Harter commented on concerning the Hornets' successful season last year. The first area was the great enthusiasm from owner, George Shinn. Second, Carl Sheer showed good management. Next, over the last couple of years the Carolinas have had a great basketball tradition with strong support from the fans. Last, Harter said the players played exceptionally hard and managed to keep themselves enthused. Kurt Ward 1 he Appalachian Asst.

Normally, men don't violate Recently, violent events have led toaccusations against males as a gender. While everyone, male and female, could rightly be accused by others of some deviation, it is not fair or arguably sound to classify any major group through the acts of a few. Granted, some males are violent; most are simply aggressive, though. There is a big difference between raising a child, any child, to be aggressive and raising one to be violent. Not many people take the time, to see the difference between the two states of violence and aggres­ sion. Violent people lash out at everyone, however, they soon leam they can more easily get away with violence toward women, children and small animals. Men, as violent people, are also less likely to get negative rein­ forcement in return for their violence because of their sheer size and strength in comparison to their intended victims. However, any violent person who perceives a distinct advantage over another is likely to act out his or her desires. When mothers kill their infant children, the act is as or more violent than violence directed toward an adult. Blanket accusations such as "all men are violent" do not fit everyone categorized. No one person is the same as another. How can a whole group of different people be the same? Most men are not violent and were notraised to be so. Most men are aggressive and were raised to be so. Men are told to go after what they want, to play aggressive games and to take charge in a potentially dangerous situation. A few women are now being taught to be aggressive, also. A woman will not go far in a "man's world" without showing aggressive traits. Ask any woman in the competitive field of business how far she will go without being aggressive. Now that Jim Bakker has been officially convicted on criminal charges many people are wondering what his sentence will be and where he will serve his time. Although Bakker's crimes are quite serious, if the sentencing of other white-collar criminals in the past is any indication, Bakker will serve his sentence in a prison which in many ways resembles a country club. The "Club Fed" prisons, which have been featured in "M" magazine as the lop places to do time, offer tennis courts, fishing lakes, swimming pools, food bars and golf courses. This is not exactly what comes to mind when one thinks if the stereotypical prison. Instead of signing up for work detail, Jim Bakker will probably be signing up for early tee off. If fact, if Bakker is fined $5 lillion as expected by the courts, he may never want to leave. What kind of message is this sending to future white-collar criminals? It is saying that what they are doing is wrong, sort of, and society is going to make ton pay, but pay comfortably. Are the crimes committed by "common"criminals really that much worse than what Bakker has done? Our society often seems to miss the point that just " ause a criminal does not directly hurt someone, he is still responsible for ing many people's lives. A thief may steal a lot of money from a lot of Nople, but few criminals take as much from as many as did Jim Bakker. So m the end, Bakker is being treated better for crimes which, while they are not as violent, are just as "criminal." Many argue that mixing white-collar criminals with the rougher, "common" " only turns the once docile professionals into true social deviants who will entually turn to more violent forms of crime. However, these same people wn say that the main reason for putting people in prison is to show those "linking of committing a crime what will happen to them if they try it. We are sending a message that future televangelists may fraudulently take ney from the poor, spend it shamelessly, and then get off with simply Ming several years in a modified private resort. Maybe, just for fun, we M let Bakker spend a little time on death row and see how the white-collar e drops before we send him away to serve his regular time. 1 ineone hope that Bakker will be sent toa "real" prison lies with U.S. District W Robert Potter who will make a recommendation on the choice of prison which Bakker will be sent. A formula, which weighs whether a defendant Ma weapon, poses a threat to society, or has a risk of escape or criminal ora will be used in making the decision. In its computations, however, this ula does not consider the deterrence factor, so relevant to white-collar li [If the prison system is going to work, then the act of serving time should not FPeasant. Also, the process of justice should not favor those who were in Q"ions of power or those who arc wealthy. Sentencing Jim Bakker harshly ending him to a "real" prison would be a good first step in this direction. THE FAR SIDE i \ Sports Editor lust. News Editor PRUITT ALLEN i JEFF TURNER By GARY LARSON Classic examples of male aggressive tendencies are found in contact sports. I love them; most aggressive males do. In this form, aggression could be considered controlled violence, because, although the play is rough and prone to injuries, all participants know the dangers and agree to their possibility, whether explicitly or tac­ itly. There is a certain equality of danger for everyone. I wouldn't even want to watch football if each player didn't try to dominate his opposition. It's preferable to war. Without these outlets for our aggressivenatures, many more men (people) wouldbecome uncontrollably violent in society.This is not because we prefer to Be violent, but because we build up aggression due to our chemical makeups. I feel lucky to be a relatively strong male with aggres sive tendencies, even in this age where physical prowess has become unnecessary and its merits all but forgotten. Whether through the guidance of my mother or some Michael Boykin other mentor, I have learned to temper my temper most of the time (don't ask my girlfriend if this is true) and use my faculties of reason to excel in today's world. However, I love a physical challenge to remind me of my heritage. Testosterone, the dominant male hormone, causes aggression. In the past, men had to be aggressively violent for humankind to survive against its natural enemies. Just because the dangers of prehistoric life are mostly gone, our genes are not going to cut our levels of male "aggression hormones." If we could educate men against the perpetuation of war, then maybe aggressive tendencies would wane. The problems of violence are societal in nature, and as long as we rule society with archaic principles of domi­ nance, aggressive levels will remain high. Many people will argue that men rule the world, and it's their fault that the world has been shaped this way. Men likely did instigate this mess, but women such as MargaretThatcher have shown that, as technology obviates the need for personal prowess, women can be as aggressive toward others as males. Technology has also enabled women to compete in the traditionally male strength-dominated job market. I think a woman can just cs easily— maybe more so— operate a computer keyboard as a male. Bionic arms can now lift heavy burdens betU : than any male ever could, probably less expensively. Twopointsmaybe seen from this. One, until about 100 years ago, most men had to be strong to survive. What they gained in strength, they lost in intellect. Two, men are losing their status, not their aggression, to women who may be intellectually more adept. If my genes had been, and they were, based on success through aggres­ sion or violence, I would be more than a little frustrated and perturbed by recent "strength cheating" in the job field. Unfortunately, this and other losses of job security have caused aggressively violent lashings by displaced males upon the lessphysically strong (displaced aggres­ sion). But, I do not condone non-legitimate outlets for ag gression. I consider these to be the roots of violence Though most men (people) prefer legitimate outlets foi aggression, there will always be those who prefer sadistic forms of aggression due to having warped minds. I donot want to be heldresponsible for these few demented souls. And, unfortunately, many more people simply have no legitimate outlets for their aggression which can be compounded by frustration. There are multitudinous statistics which show how much violence is perpetrated by men on women. These stats also claim that most of these types of acts go unreported. If women would speak up instead of worry­ ing about societal repercussions and make it apoint to get each and every one of these deviants off our streets, then the offenders would not be able to repeat their violent acts. I think these abusers, rapists and murderers become addicted to violence, and a relatively small number account for a majority of violent crimes. Now I shall have to lambast the criminal justice system which treats the victims of violence such as molestation, rape or abuse as guilty parties who bring these crimes upon themselves. Only a sick mind would invite such atrocities to occur. For our court system to portray all of these victims in the same vein, as sick instigators, is as bad a stigma as feminists portraying all men as sick violators. Accusations by one group towards another must stop if we are ever to get a handle on major problems such as stigmatizing in our society. Cooperative effort between the sexes is mandatory if we are to survive past the twentieth century. We men are going to have to compromise our ancient beliefs in order tokeep up with women who are generally quicker thinkers. We will have to become more logical and less aggressively bullheaded. We built our house, and now we must pay room and board, so to speak. Women have and will continue to become more aggres­ sive in order to meet us halfway. Who knows, maybe someday the only significant difference in humans will be whether they donate the sperm or carry the child. As powders through the grinders pass Drugs are the banes of our lives By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Columnist There is a growing movement in our nation in support of a radical change in policy to deal with our major drug prob­ lem. This problem is affecting every seg­ ment of our society. more prosecutors. If we make drugs legal, these expenses are eliminated. 2.

Identification isn't exclusive to gender Societal violence is omnipresent To the Editor: OK, here we go! Remember, wiggle those noses, stuff those cheeks and act cute — and no smoking, Carl." Oh please, give it a rest with the "violence against women" business! The disappearance of Jeni Gray is tragic, no matter what the outcome. The beating of a teenage boy outside a theater in Kannapolis was also tragic. The point I'm trying to make to the raging feminist community around here is that violence is everywhere. We arc all in peril. Convenience store clerks everywhere can testify to the fact most robbers don't care if a man or woman is being held up as long as they can get their booty. Linda Lewis' editorial of Oct. 3 gives the impression that women are the only beings alive that are victims of violence. Tell that to the boy in Kannapolis or the four teenagers run off the road in their car last year by a still-unknown assailant. It appears that Linda Lewis is an advocate of equal rights. If Linda Lewis was truly a believer in equal rights she would be crusading to put an end to violence, period. Educate us all on safety awareness, don't make it appear to be an issue that only pertains to women. As sad as it is, even little children need to be educated about violence today. The availability of crack cocaine has escalated the level of violence in the United States today to unprecedented levels; continue to educate people about drug abuse and push for the courts to prosecute hard drug pushers. Also, to be fair, women do their share of violent crimes. On any given day you can read in the newspa­ pers about some woman killing her own child. Remember the woman a couple of years ago that opened fire on a class­ room full of children in Illinois? Violence is an issue that needs to be addressed by stronger law enforcement and education about avoiding violent situations...all of us need instruction By the way, I would imagine my "raging feminist" statement will irk some folks to no end but if the shoe fits....

Club Forced To Admit Women The SupremeCourt declared Monday that the Burning Tree Golf Course must give up its $300,000-a-ycar tax break or admit women to the club. According to "The Charlotte Observer," the club, which is know as the golf course of presidents and is located in Maryland, claims that admitting women will cost a lot of money because they must add women s locker rooms andrestrooms and will have to make shorter tees for the women on the course. Some members of the club include President George Bush, Vice President Dan Quayle, former Secretary of State William Rogers and Marriott Hotel President J.W.

Thursday October 5, 1984 Mountaineer Escort Director Jeff Hullander gave a special report to SGA Sena­ tors concerning the Escort Service at Tuesday night's senate meeting. Although Hullander made no mention of the incidents which have occurred on or around campus in the past several weeks, he explained the purpose of the service. According to Hullander, the Mountain­ eer Escort Service gives students an alter­ native to walking home alone. He said that in order for a student to get an escort, "all they have to do is call." Hullander said the boundaries for the service are the Courthouse, The Broyhill Inn, Appalachian South Apartments and Horn in the West parking lot. He said that currently working for the service with more applications coming in. Hullander said he saw the number of employees as a good sign."I would like to have as many people working for us as possible." He urged all females to take advantage of the service. "We don't mind walking around campus," he said. He also pointed out that the listing for the Escort service in the new Student Directory is listed incor­ rectly. The correct number is 262-6438. had a lot of unfortunate incidents involv­ ing students and staff, Mountaineer Es­ cort could not have prevented those from happening. People may say that we need a few more security officers. I agree. But students need to be more aware of their own safety." Mclntire urged all students to use the buddy system when walking on campus or in town, to use the blue-light system on campus, when necessary, and to lock their doors at night. He said that although this might mean a change in habits, "there are precautions we all ought to take." SGA President Brad Edwards and Vice Chancellor for Student Development Dr. David Mclntire met yesterday afternoon to discuss extending Mountaineer Escort to cover Friday and Saturday nights. Mclntire said that one problem with the proposal is the fact that all escorts are "...People may say that we need a few more security officers. I agree. But students need to be more aware of their own safety." Dr. David Mclntire Vice Chancellor for Student Development Students Lobby To Replace 'Wimpy' Mascot (CPS)—Student government members at the University of Central Florida are pushing to replace their "wimpy" school mascot with a macho one. The current mascot, Mac the Knight, isn't tough enough, complained government staffer Jeff Laing. Student leaders, along with the Entrepreneur Club, have come up with their own macho mascot, Knightstalker, a big burly character who has spikes protruding from his shoulders and carries a big club. He'll be in front of the student section at the football games. Alumni and other fans will settle for the official mascot, Mac the Knight, who, students say, is too much like the McDonald's character who "sings syrupy songs" on television commercials. "For football, you need a mean guy," Laing explained. The athletic department has the final say, though, and alumni response to the Knightstalker hasn't been good so far, Laing said. Students and administrators have battled over sports mascots frequently in recent years, mostly because students wanted to replace mascots or team images perceived be offensive to some. In 1988, St. John's University inNew York and Northeastern State University both replaced their Indian symbols, and St. Mary's College in Minnesota dropped its "Redman" nickname for the "Cardinals." In 1986, New Mexico State University revamped Pistol Pete, its mascot, making him a symbol "more deserving of respect." Petition For Full Graduation Started The SGA and the Senior Committee are co-sponsoring a petition drive for a full tentralized graduation ceremony beginning in May 1990. All students are eligible to iign the petition and are encouraged to do so.

He added that the service is available Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 12:15 a.m. "Things have really started picking up in the past few weeks," Hullander said. "Last night (Monday) we had 14 calls on the first shift." He said that 35 people are volunteers. He expressed concern that it might be difficult to get volunteers to work on the weekend. According to Mclntire, the idea is still being discussed and has not been resolved as of yet. Edwards was not available for com­ ment.

Boone takes a bite out of Big Apple By PATRICK WOOTEN Appalachian Staff Writer The streets of Boone will be filled with hundreds of runners as the seventh annual Big Apple Road Race takes place Satur­ day. The race will begin at 10 a.m. at the Varsity Gymnasium. According to Big Apple Road Race Director Barbara Daye, the race began in 1982. She said it is designed to enhance involvement between the university and the town of Boone. Daye said the race has grown in popu­ larity every year and added, "The goal for this year's race is to have 600 people finish the race with a majority of them being students." Daye's secretary, Tracey Gibbs, said that as of press time 201 people had regis­ tered to run in the race. Gibbs added that some faculty and staff have entered.

The resolution was introduced by Di­ rector of State Affairs, Daryl Ghent, and emphasizes "the need for continued learn­ ing through diverse human interaction." According to SGA reports, the resolu­ tion was presented on grounds that there is a need for constant learning in education and student government, and that this need is best met by learning from fellow stu­ dents and their personal experiences. SGA Assistant Public Affairs Director Andy Swofford said the idea was dis­ cussed by delegations sent by both univer­ sities at thefirst University of North Caro­ lina Association of Student Government meeting in Chapel Hill. According to Swofford, the UNCASG brings together all student governmentsof the 16 public universities in North Caro­ lina. The ASU delegation consisted of Daye added that the race is designed to foster student interest and participation. She said that students are charged a lower entry fee than all other participants. The costs for students is $4 if they pre-rcgister by noon tomorrow. The cost for nonstudents is $6 if they pre-register. Daye said that each participant who finishes the race will receive a long-sleeve shirt with the ASU logo. According to Daye, the money received from the race will go toward "enhancing programs and opportunities for Appala­ chian's students." She said that this is possible because of the financial help of the Forester Beverage Corporation. Daye said they will furnish all the aw ards for the race including the shirts. She said that this allows the entrance money to be put into a special student development account. The money is then used for spe­ cial programs, equipment and supplies to benefit students. Daye said the race has enticements for the more competitive runner or walker. She said that there are a number of awards being furnished. Daye said that awards will also go to the first three overall winners (male and female.) Daye said that Sollecito's is furnishing campus.

HW Concerns are voiced nationwide Will Court decision affect college women; (CPS)—-Various students and campus health clinic officials across the nation have predicted that the U.S. Supreme Court's July 3 decision to give states the power to restrict abortion could radically change the way college women, espe­ cially those at public campuses, deal with pregnancies. In Florida, which is expected to seize the chance to restrict abortion, Florida State University student health clinic states will soon take advantage of the court s ruling that allows them to restrict the use of their funds, facilities and em­ ployees for abortions. The effects on college women will be determined "on a case-by-case basis," Anne Higley of the American College Health Association (ACHA) in Rockville, Md. said. "It all depends on what state" a campus is in, whether the campus is public or More than a dozen states have already passed laws to restrict and outlaw abortion, though many legal scholars wonder if the laws are enforceable. gynecologist Dr. Harvey Klein feared he'd be barred from counseling FSU women or from making abortion referrals. "Of all the pregnancy tests we do that are positive, probably about 95 percent will want to terminate (the pregnancy)," Klein said. "I'd be concerned that a lot of (pregnant women) would get into hands that maybe weren't competent." The National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) thinks at least 23 other private, secular or parochial, she added. Higley and others speculated that, in effect, states might be able tostop campus health clinics that use state funds from making abortion referrals or even coun­ seling women in a way that ultimately would lead them to have an abortion.

SGA officials at ASU say that ASU is already assisting NC Central in starting a program much like the Mountaineer Es­ cort Service for the Central campus. The SGA has also sent NC Central a copy of their constitution and is consulting them on getting greater results from student government. Wootcn said: "The bottom line of this sisterhood is the sharing of ideas between ASU and NC Central. The campus of Central is 85 percent black, where at ASU we only have a 6 percent minority popula­ tion." Wooten added, "We feel that this will result in a diversified and open exchange between campuses and produce a growth in our governments." According to the ruling, the Webster restrictions givestate legislatures permis­ sion to make abortions more difficult to obtain and permits a preamble that states life begins at conception. Many college health care professionals say they feel that college women will more than likely be the ones most af­ fected, especially those who attend state supported colleges and universities.

The general feeling on campus is reflective of tin generalfeelings throughout the state.The feeling that until the state makes its move, it will be busi ness as usual. Some students and staff members say they feel that there is growing concern on the campus concerning the recent deci­ sion.

A dramatic poetry reading by a troupe from Asheville, Poetry Alive! is the center­ piece of this Special Forum presentation. An organization that tours the United States visiting schools, organizations and dinner theaters. Poetry Alive! believes in"poetry as theatre," that poetry is not just to be pondered butenjoyed. A four person troupe will team up to present various poems, such as Lewis Carroll's works or "Casey at the Bat," in order both to entertain the audience and to show that the audience can acquire this talent as well. Be sure to show up by 8:30 a.m., as it is scheduled to last from 8:45 to 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday nights are witness to a relative orgy of short horror flicks at I.G. Greer Theatre. Starting it off will be two classic Lon Chaney horror films, "Phantom of the Opera" and "The Hunch­ back of Notre Dame." Both of these films are set in Paris, and they capture it in their silent beauty. The Phantom is a vengeful composer who hides out in the catacombs of the Paris Opera and kidnaps a young protege. The famed unmasking scene still packs an amazing jolt; you'll be sitting on the edge of the pillow you bought to put on top of the horrible seats of I.G. Greer. "The Hunchback" is a lavish filming of New hardcore aims to please Appalachian Staff Writer * some punkers who think that they have hit the sexual jackpot. But the poor kids must pay the ultimateprice for their pleasure — death. The hunger in Bowie and Deneuve requires them to take blood once a week. Not all is right in this world though; Bowie soon begins to see his health dete­ riorate rapidly. As Bowie falls to the side, with help from a marvelous makeup job depicting him growing older, Susan Sarandon takes over as the mistress to Deneuve. This is my pick of the week, as seeing Sarandon and Deneuve in bed together is definitely my idea of a good time. For only $1.50, you can afford to see this movie. When you come back from Fall Break, A.P.P.S. will have "The Amityville Hor­ ror" waiting for you. This Story of a family moving into a supposedly haunted Long Island home,only tofind out that"suppos­ edly" is inaccurate. Based on a best seller that was supposedly nonfiction, this movie is at times a funny rehash of old horror schtick and then at times enough to scare me onto the lap of someone five rows back! It is time for horror and it is here. And that is my entertainment update for this week, so enjoy yourselves.

Victor Hugo's classic novel about Quasi­ modo. The makeup job is incredible and the touching scenes of this horrible-look­ ing outcast with the dancing girl help this film to keep holding its own. "The 39 Steps" is a film as classic as Converse All-Stars. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, whose name is practically synonomous with horror, and starring Robert Donat and Madeline Carroll, this is a mystery with delicate touches of romance and comedy. After being wrong­ fully accused of murder, Donat gets caught up in spy-ring activities in order to clear himself. The banter between him and Carroll, who thinks Donat is guilty, is classic; it set the pace of sophisticated dialogue for years. This will be the third movie in the night of shorts. All three are free and start at 7 p.m., with a "midnight" movie coming on at 11:30 p.m. Late-night feature "The Hunger" is a sexy, bloody modern vampire tale, thus a classic midnight movie. The tone is set from the beginning as those art-poseurs and angst-rockers, Bauhaus, perform "Bela Lugosi's Dead" in a club. Mean­ while, Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie scope the scene in order to pick up There are four new records that have come to my attention in recent weeks, and I wish to share them with you, the public. They areRed Hot Chili Peppers'''Mother's Milk," Bad Brains' "Quickness," .D.I.'s "Surfin' Anarchy/Uncontrollable Urge" single, and Old Skull's"GetOuttaSchool." The first matter of business is the Red Hot Chili Peppers' long awaited new al­ bum. Many people, including myself, thought that the Chili Peppers were washed up after the death cf guitarist Hillel Slo­ vak, but they've come back with possibly their best album yet. The album starts with "Good Time Boys," a tribute to thefun and funky bands of California: Fishbone, fIREHOSE, and Thelonius Monster and themselves. This song is slow and funky, and a great way to start an album. Highlights of the song include excerpts from songs of the other funky bands. "Knock Me Down" is a pop-ish sound­ ing song about the dangers of drugs and the death of former guitarist Hillel Slovak. This song has a video currently shown on MTV; check it out on 120 Minutes (Sun­ days at midnight) or Post Modem MTV (weekdays at 12:30). Also included on the album is the Chili Peppers version of the Jimi Hendrix clas­ sic "Fire." This track was previously available as a B-side and on the "Abbey Road E.P." It features Hillel on guitar and former drummer Jack Irons. The song is done very well and quite a bit faster than Mr. Hendrix used to play it. The other tracks on the album are also very good. I like all of the songs on this album, unlike most of the other Chili Peppers albums. Get it any way you can. The next album is "Quickness," the Bad Brains' follow-up to "I Against I." "Quickness" rocks the whole way through." For those of you who don't know about the Bad Brains, let me flow you some info on them. They are four rastafarians (dreadlocks and all) who played jazz originally, and now play some of the best thrash/hardcore/punk rock (whatever you want to call it) ever. Wait a second; before you strain your brain trying to grasp this situation, they also play reg­ gae. Not much, but they play very good reggae when they do. The album's release was delayed be­ cause of line-up problems; it is kind of hard to record an album when the singer and the drummer leave the band. Never­ theless, theyrecruitedavocalistand drum­ mer to record the album. But, just as the album was going into the production stage, the original singer and drummer wanted back in. The vocals were re-recorded and the original line-up is now on tour. "Quickness" starts with a heavy song called "Soul Craft." It's kind of a 'thank Jah for life, peace, and so-on' song. It keeps you movin' all the way through, something that the Bad Brains are good at. Those of you who have the Bad Brains' previous album will recognize the intro to the next song, "Voyage Into Infinity."It is the same as "Intro" from "I Against I." They turned a short, little introduction into a complete song and did a good jobof it. The following song is a fast one called "The Messengers." This song rages at a full speed for two verses, slows for a bridge, then speeds up again. It is well done and one of my favorites on the al­ bum. Another great song is "Gene Ma­ chine/Don't Bother Me." It has all of the elements of the Bad Brains: their classic hardcore sound, the new head-banging style, and a reggae break, all in one song! "Yout' Juice" (youth juice) is a funky pop song that is reminiscentof a few older Bad Brains songs.'Get high onlife'is the basic message of this song. The one reggae song on the album is "The Prophets Eye." It is your average rastafarian reggae song but has a good groove that keeps you moving. Overall the Bad Brains have another great album that I would recommend to anyone who likes any kind of hard-rockin' music. At the beginning of summer, Califor­ nia-based punkers .D.I. released a seveninch single. The songs, a parody of the Beach Boys "Surfin' USA"called "Surfin' Anarchy" and a remake of Devo's "Un­ controllable Urge," are done very well in the typical .D.I. style. "Surfin' Anarchy' is a great parody. "Not everybody has an ocean/ across the USA/So they'll sure be chargin' / to your beach today. / Your summer's gonna be chaos / you just wait and see. / So tell the life guard you're surfin' / surfin' anarchy." On the flip-side, "Uncontrollable Urge' is changed from a jumpy Devo song to a hard-rockin' frenzy that's great to slam to. "Yeah yeah yeah yeah yu yu yu yu yu yu yu YEAH!" This is a hard one to find but well worth the look. The trio Old Skull hails from Madison, Wisconsin. Their debut album, "Get Ou tta School," came out during the summer and has sold about 10,000 copies. "What's so special?" you ask. Not much, except for SPP HAfiD PORF,. no. 4 �THE A PPA I.ACHIA V.

In an ev ening filled with smoke, smiles, symbolism and sweat, Whatchamacallits' was packed with nearly 100 eager music worshippers waiting for the rebirth of Psycho-Acoustics Research and Devel­ opment. The opening band. None Of The Above, set the pace for a high-energy festival of intense electronic spasms.

Written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, the movie stars Billy Crystal as Harry and Meg Ryan as Sally. The movie is comical, yet serious in a lighthearted way. It asks whether men and women can be friends without becoming sexually involved. For the most part, the movie debates this theme throughout. Not until the end do Harry and Sally find the answer to this question. The movie begins in the late 1970s and leapfrogs its way through the years until it reaches today. After graduating from the University of Chicago, Sally packs her things for New York where she hopes to become a journalist. Harry, Sally's best friend's boyfriend, also needs a way to New York. So, off they go, arguing the entire way. Once in New York, they part on the basis that they could never be friends. Five years later, they meet again in an airport in New York. After their flight lands and they walk a short distance together, theyonce again decide they could never be friends. Years later, Hany and Sally meet again in a New York bookstore. This time, having both just broken up with their significant others, they talk, take a walk together, have dinner and eventually become the best of friends — and more. "When Harry Met Sally..."is that rarest of Hollywood commodities, a star vehicle got hitched. The charming results add to the movie a sense of how it used to be and some food for thought on how, in some ways, it still is. Reiner's directing is simple without being insufficient, more elegant than empty. While the dialogue and scenes may lend a rose-colored gauze to his The vividly presented series of scenes show­ ing the development of Harry and Sally's "friend­ ship" was actually derived from the life of the director, Rob Reiner. that actually works as a movie. It's disarmingly depicted with the New York setting filling up the background, and the gaps between years so ably smoothed over that you hardly notice. But rather than just butt the scenes up against one another, Reiner chooses to fill in the spaces with older couples telling stories of how they Stay away from ^ indescribably bad, I me ' P'f hear it to understand Vi So go, go and buy, g0W had it,, J ad H, So pn enjoy-Getyour mitsontho^'M way you can.

They were sh0!>^ from an interview. One Continued from pg- 3 memory, one is never left with the feeling of being cheated out of reality. The casting was easy, in a convoluted sort of way. You see, Reiner and Crystal are best friends, but before he could cast his best friend, Reiner had to audition other actors in order both to be fair and to be sureof his decision. It turned out to be good judgement — Crystal takes the role and strolls through the movie with it, to the extent that it is difficult to picture anyone else in the part. And Meg Ryan is of course stunning, but she also projects the sort of easily injured, but tough as nails persona that is required to make Sally work as more than a frill. The backing roles were all played wonderfully, espe­ cially by Carrie Fisher as Sally's best friend. The vividly presented series of scenes showing the development of Harry and Sally's "friendship" was actually derived from the life of the director, Rob Reiner, and it was originally his theory that men and women cannot be friends — "the sex thing keeps getting in the way." It's not surprising that the movie feels real. "When Harry Met Sally..." works chiefly because it deals with nothing super­ ficially. When Harry and Sally talk about sex, it's what two people like this would say if they were talking about sex. When Crystal and his bestfriend talk aboutSally, you feel like you're there watching and listening. And anyone who still dates today can't help but feel the anxieties presented in the film — this ill Kbw it is. Go and see it. EXPERIENCE Retired Lt.

You're Entering this S aturday's match-up with the Keydetsof Virginia Military, the ASU Mountaineers have at least one factor in common with their opponents: they both entered the 1989 season with newly in­ stalled head coaches, with both programs having lost their previous commanders to the University of South Carolina. However, ASU head coach Jerry Moore has proved to be more successful than first year Keydet coach Jim Shuck. Moore and the Apps have compiled a 4-1-0 overall record going into Saturday's match-up, while Shuck and the VMI squad have yet to win a game with a record of 0-5-0.

The twolead a defense that is composed of four seniors, three juniors, three sophomores and one freshman. On special teams, the Virginia Military punting duties should be handled by Brian Southard, while the place kicking chores are taken care of by Wade Hawkins. Shuck commented on his special teams follow­ ing the squad's contest with Richmond on Sept. 23: "Saturday's game was a perfect example that you must be effective in all three phases of the game. Our special teams broke down completely on field goals, punts, punt returns and kick off returns." Shuck continued, "I am seeing improve ment in our overall team, but we have a ways to go if we're going to win. The best thing we have going is that our kids are playing hard." Saturday's home action is set to begin at 1:30 p.m. at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The game will mark Young Alumni Day for the Mountaineers. "I am seeing improvement in our overall team, but we have a ways to go if we're going to win. The best thing we have going is that our kids are playing hard." Jim Shuck VMI Coach Prior to receiving the VMI post. Shuck worked as assistant coach at West Point, directing Army's offensive line for five of his six years there. Shuck's Army position makes him no stranger to the military environment, and hehas brought with him the wishbone offensive set. Shuck entered the year with hopes of turning around a program that was 2-9 one year ago. However, winless in his first five attempts, Shuck has yet to bring a revolution to VMI. This year's VMI team includes lOstarters from last year. The team is young, however, with only six seniors holding down starting roles, two on offense and four on the defensive side. VMI is lacking a true quarterback, especially one who has displayed strong plenty of depth. On defense, the Keydets run a Multiple 50. The alignment can tend to look like a 3-4, depending on where the linebackers line up in relation to the line of scrim­ mage. Last year's Keydet secondary was ranked fourth in Division I-AA, but the entire unit graduated. Probable starters for Saturday's game include Mark Cager at left comer, Craig Wright at right comer, Brian Pannell at strong safety and Dewayne Arkadie at the free safety.

Prior to serving the past five years as an assistant coach on two NBA teams, Harter compiled an impres­ sive record and list of superlatives in the college ranks. Harter joined the Hornets after two seasons under Jack Ramsay as assistant coach with the Indiana Pacers.

Harter also led the Piston rookie team to the 1983 California Pro Summer League Champi­ onship. Prior to moving to the NBA, Harter coached at Penn State University, Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania, University of Ore­ gon and Rider College in New Jersey. In 18 years as a college head coach, Harter compiled a record of 295-196. He was voted Pac 8 Coach of the Year, Eastern Basketball Coach of the Year, third run­ ner-up in the voting for the UPI Coach of the Year, NCAA District Coach of the Year and Philadelphia Sportswriter's Coach of the Year. Harter is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, with a degree in Education and has been aproven teacher in the coaching profession.

Shuck tried seven players at the quarterback post this past spring, with Glen Buck and Tony Douglas lead­ ing the way as play began this fall. How­ ever, three games into the season, Shuck opted to go with freshman Tony Scales. Scales accumulated 156 yards in total offense in the Keydets' 27-22 loss to the University ofRichmond, winning him the starting spot. Douglas, a sophomore, remains the back up. In the backfield, Marcus Mines, Steve Roenker and Eric Davidson should start.

Freshman Tony Scales has passed for 214 yards for only a 27 percent passing efficiency. Passing ASU kicker Jay Millson is getting better with every game, so far kicking four out of five at­ tempted field goals this year, including two last week against East Tennessee State.

Oct.10, there are several important differences among the three candidates for mayor that you, as students, need to consider. The first is age and background. As the youngest of the three candidates and because I am a full-time substitute teacher in the Watauga County schools, I have an interest in and empathy for young people that the other two candidates cannot. It is much more difficult being a young person and growing up into adulthood today than it was in previous generations. The problems you face today are much more serious than the ones I faced when I was a student at ASU in the sixties (BS in mathematics 1971, MA in education 1972). 1 like young people and respect them as they work to get an education and a good job in the world of today. You are citizens of Boone. I recognize that fact and am glad you are here. Not only do you bring money into the local economy, but you bring much of the friendly spirit, enthusiasm, and zest for liv ing that makes the Boone area such a wonderful place to live. Unfortunately there are some people in Boone who do not feel this way about you. Because of certain events in the recent past—the beer in Boone vote, the Dougherty house removal—there is no w a deep adversarial relationship between the students and some local citizens, an "us vs. them" feeling. Even though I had nothing to do with this problem, I recognize its existence and know that one of the top priorities of the next mayor must be to heal this breach. I am the only candidate for mayor who favors a referendum on liquor by the drink. I am in favor of it not only for the added revenue without increased taxes, but also for the greater control it would give by eliminating brown bagging. I am the only candidate for mayor who is in favor of reviewing the noise ordinance. If I am elected mayor, I intend immediately to ask your SGA to submit any recommendation it wishes for consideration. Why should you take the trouble to vote? If I am elected, you will have a friend in the mayor's office who will not forget you after the election is over. I will maintain close contact with your SGA and any other student group that is having a problem with the town of Boone. If 1 can help you individually with some problem, you are to call upon me. I do not forget my voters, the people who put me in office. If Mr. Rucker wins, you will have an affable mayor who is basically indifferent to student problems and needs. If. Ms. Burnley wins, you have a problem. Although she denies it, Ms. Burnley has an immense lack of understanding of students. She is perceived by many students to be rigidly opposed to any consideration of student concerns. As mayor, she could instruct the chief of police to begin stricter enforcement of the noise ordinance and of the open beer container laws.There are other, more subtle ways that she as mayor could make your life in Boone more uncomfortable. Also, due to a quirk in the election laws, if she is elected mayor, the council will appoint her replacement on the council. You as voters will have no say in the matter. If I become mayor, I will be your mayor but I will work to be the local citizens mayor, too. I want to bring us together— to make Boone a united community again. But I need your help. If none of the three candidates receives 50 percent of the vote on Oct. 10, then there will be a run-off between the top two candidates on Nov. 7 when the final town council winners will be decided. If you go out and vote, there will be no run-off for mayor. You have the voting power to decide this election. If you do not vote, there will probably be a run-off. If you do not vote, you might wake up on the morning of Nov. 8 to find that Velma Burnley is mayor of Boone! The choice is up to you. Please take the time to vote on Oct. 10. This election is too important to you personally for you to ignore it. If I win the first election and there is no run-off, it will be because of you.

J. L „ _ .J y\. I ^t m With the recent disappearance of Jeni Gray and the rape of an ASU student, many people are discovering for the first time that violent crime is a problem in this area. The perception that violent crime is a new problem in Boone, or that these crimes have only happened in a few well-publicized cases is incorrect. The unwillingness on the part of ASU Security to release violent crime informa­ tion creates a false sense of well-being for the people on campus. ASU's official policy seems to be that only "stranger" rape is a violent crime, and information-if one can call it that- about such rapes is provided. However, date or acquaintance rape is equally traumatic and often violent. The current policy concerning acquaintance rape is that no one has a "need to know except the people involved. While names or other specific facts about such rapes should unquestionably remain secret, the incidence of such crimes must be public knowledge. Rape by this definition is incredibly frequent, helped along by the false belief that it never or hardly ever happens. If awareness of a problem is half the solution, then Security could aid in the education of this area by releasing such information. Yet, the office seems to be content in acting secretly, as if they arc the only ones entitled to this infotmation. One convenient way for any security office to cover up an incident is to designate the case "under investigation" for an extended period ol time, thereby making statements to the media impossible. Dr. Don Sanz, ASU Counseling Center director, has said that the office handles dozens of acquaintance rape cases each year, and he predicts that only lOpcrccntof all actual rapes arc reported. He also stated that 20 percent of female college students throughout the United States will become victims of date or acquaintance rape, that that figure is likely to be low because so few arc reported, and that ASU is right in line with these statistics. At ASU, the numbers add up to 1,200 females-1,200 victims. Chancel lor John Thomas has made a pledge this year to open up al 1 offices to the campus media. In general, he has fulfilled his promise, but the Security office appears to be exempt from this mandate. Public Safety and Security Director Roy Tugman and his office appear more interested in covering up their own inadequacies than fulfilling their responsibilities to the students. It is impossible to predict how well the Security office could perform in preventing rapes and assaults. However, one may rest assured that any rapist who parks illegally while on campus would receive a parking tickeL In all fairness to our Security office, their policy of releasing little or no information is not in the least bit original. A recent study has reported that approximately 90 percent of colleges and universities do not release crime information. The reason for this is obvious: imageand reputation mean more to some campuses than truth. The SGA-sponsored Mountaineer Escort is a wonderful system which gives students the option of having a safe trip home. The escorts arc volunteers and should be commended for their concern for their fellow students. In fact, perhaps more people could be attracted to this program if the escorts were compensated. Perhaps such funding could be obtained through parking ticket revenue or by dismissing the now obsolete Security personnel who used to do the paper work when parking ticket appeals were free. Monty Python does a wonderful bit in its movie "The Meaning of Life" about the issue of birth control. Lyrics like Every Sperm isSacred" comically mock theCatho­ lic Church s conservative condemnation of premarital sex in sequence with a Protestant man joyously express­ ing his freedom to wear any type of condom. These scenes were inspired by English religious de­ bates over contraceptives, but their message is relevant in American as well. In 1965, the Supreme Court struck down prohibitions against the sale of birth control de­ vices. The justicesat the time realized that contraceptives were a practical way of preventing the spread of disease and unwanted pregnancy. Currently, nine out of every 10 sexually active women in the United States usesome form of birth control. These women are not interested in having children and want to avoid the morally touchy alternative of abortion. They aretaking a responsible approach to sex. So why do antiab°rti°n groups want to outlaw the sale and production of contraceptives? The answer lies in the form of forced ethics. It is the contention of many "right to life" groups that birth control methods such as condoms and "the pill"are also forms of abortion. To them, fertilized egg is not the first stage of life, but instead, the basic sexual act of intercourse is. Joseph Scheidler, executive director of the Pro-Life Action League, says his organization believes that "the contraception mentality is a pro-abortion mentality. It is opposed to life. We believe all methods create abortion." David Madison Clearly, Mr. Scheidler is confusing personal morals with fact. It impossible to insist that women who practice birth control are pro-abortion . In many cases the entire purpose of contraceptive precaution is to avoid an un­ wanted pregnancy and the possible, unfortunate alterna­ tive of abortion. In essence, Scheidler is promoting abstinence until marriage. This argument is both unnatural and impracti­ cal. By successfully lobbying for the ban of both abortion and birth control, groups like the Pro-Life Action League would create disaster. Pregnant women would be caught in the Catch-22 of not having the ability to preventeither pregnancy or motherhood. Outlawing abortion alone is bad enough. Before Roe vs. Wade made this operation legal, extensive damage was done by untrained, unclean abortion "quacks"oper­ ating on the black market. The recent Supreme Court decision to leave the question of legality up to the states could also have a damaging effect. the only insurance against the burden of too dren. Poor families become poorer with each" Contraceptives and abortion are the necess' the battle against poverty and child neglect Lobbyists like Joseph Scheidler preach only grotesque horrors of abortion without addre other side of the issue. Nowhere in their argum reference to the sociological impact of unwai births. Abuse is often commonplace among po( mothers. "Pro-life" groups simply try to ove these facts with their own morals and ethics Women are entitled to the right of choici freedom must encompass all elements of n prevention and termination. Even teenagers required by law in some states to obtain parent', sion before having an abortion, need complete this matter. The right to life involves both mother and system of laws which inhibits a woman's decisic pregnancy is unavoidably biased. The only co fair method is total freedom. It is up to the indiv decide their own face because the meaning o always been a personal definition.

ANTHONY ADAMS Appalachian Staff Writer There has been a lot going on around the world for the past few weeks that demands the attention of those who keep up with the news (a number that seems to dwindle daily). Ferdinand E. Marcos, the former presi­ dent of the Philippines, who lately has become a good reason not to visit Hawaii, things like these. I have more pressing concerns on my mind. My worries do not wonder about the state of the world. They aremuch too worriedabout whether Adam Curry in the anti-Christ or not. Let me tell you, things do not look good. There is the realistic theory that Adam Curry, the lionmaned host of much of MTV's daily pro­ gramming, is none other than old Lucifer himself, here to destroy the minds of impressionable young college students everywhere. Just between you and me, I get the feeling that the possibility ofAdam Curry being an agent of evil is much more disheartening than everybody wondering where Marcos is going to be laid to rest. died.

Why, it's almost like in its own little special way. calling Zsa Zsa a common criminal. I toean-I don't want to go out on a limb Yes, there is a lot in the news to grab here. If I m wrong, calling Curry the anti­ one's attention and give it a good shaking, christ could possibly cause hard feelings but I don't really give much thought to between certain parties. This may result in It is only natural for any large bureaucracy to have problems. Normally bureaucratic red tape results only in inconvenience for those associated with it. However, in the case of ASU Security, bureaucratic incompetence is leading to violent crime. The least Security could do is to release this important crime information to those who may be directly affected by it: the ASU community. It is time for the student body to demand that this be done before any more senseless violence occurs as a result of students not being aware that ASU is not totally safe.

In many cases, birth "'"T—ri -«»inn my giving up my life savings to Adam due 'o the fact that I insulted him. Of course, there are special courts set up to deal with cases just like this. And if I'm right, Adam is probably at this very moment dreaming up some way of forever depositing my soul into the farthest and fieriest reaches of the nether­ world, recalling the time I stole a pack of Bubblicious from the Winn-Dixie as grounds for eternal torment. You see, the anti-Christ may not realize that chewing a pack of Bubblicious bubble gum is likely as close to eternal torment as you can get. But these are the "facts" as I present them to you to determine just what kind of creature Adam Curry is. First, it seems like every timeI turn onMTV he's hosting some show, and it seems to me that an agent of Satan would not require much sleep. I don't know how, I don't know why, butAdam Curry is seemingly unable to feel tired. Second, his hair never moves, so either he is single-handedly destroying the ozone layer with about a case of hairspray a day, or old Beelzebub has magi­ cally turnedAdam's topimmovable. Third, Adam seems to have the power to bore the dickens out of anyone who watches him mosey through a couple hours of Paula Abdul videos. Almost (dare I say it) supematurally, Adam Curry can turn the latest Bon Jovi by-product into an even morepotentsk aid than before. Imagine the number of yawns brought on by watchi Warrent struggle through four minutest a horrible ballad magnified amillionlinn and you are thinking about only a porta of Adam Curry's ability.

"Not all that money (the university ex­ pects) may be there by the time we meet in January," Diamont said. According to Diamont, any money AS U would receive for the project would come from the state's $130 million general construction fund, is one of the first funds which the legislator said could be held back or eliminated if the budget problem is not contained and somewhat solved. "I haven't heard any change in the status of the project," Zimmerman said, "but when any entity deals with a state government, there is nothing that is ab­ solutely certain." One of the major reasons for the SAC, according to ASU officials in past ad­ dresses, is to have a higher caliber of basketball teams playing in Boone. Both the ASU men's and women's teams usu­ ally have contests against teams from bigger schools away from Varsity Gym. The University of Tennessee at Chat­ tanooga, a fellow member of the Southern Conference with ASU, has the largest basketball arena of SC teams, seating a little over 11,200. The arena has been open since 1983 and has only played host to only one sellout in its history, which was in 1983 when the Moccasins lost to UNC. Student opposition to the center did not end with theclosing of this calendar year's spring semester. A sculpture located on the hill end of Kidd Brewer Stadium and built by student protestors was takendown by ASU employees after it was placed in the stadium for visiting spectators to see during the football game against East Tennessee State last month. A march in the same m anner as theone held last April in opposition to the SAC is also under initial planning. (See the Environmental Issues Committee article for further in­ formation.) The opposition, which last year's SGA President Brad Edwards claimed was"less than five percent of the student body," may actually have greater support from students.

Three ACC games give athletics big money yet limit home games By THOMAS RIGGINS Assistant News Editor and S. RAE BEASLEY Editor-in-Chief Each fall Appalachian schedules foot­ ball games against 11 different colleges and universities. And each fall, the teams meet both conference and non-conference teams onthe playing field. Matchesagainst conference opponents build ASU's stand­ ing in the Southern Conference. Non-conference matches, while they do not impact the university's standing in the SC, are, nonetheless,a crucial part of the regular season. Why does Appalachian play teams such as North Carolina State, Clemson and Wake Forest? 1 helps' MOUNTAINEERS TAKE ON ACC POWERHOUSES?: Revenue from playing non-conferance football 1icDjreSUpplemem the athletic budget. ASU can make from $95,000 to $150,000 just for playing a non-conference team. R°achel Laney said "ACC teams prefer playing ASU (as a non-conference team) because of the reputation ASU l?Ve a total of three ACC games this season: Wake Forest, Clemson (both already played) and North Carolina State football team enjoys the opportunity to play larger schools. They feel it is a great challenge. "This year is the worstpossible sched­ ule a football program could have: three ACC teams, only four home games and the last four games are on the road. The schedule is very unfortunate (but) it was inherited," said Roachel Laney, interim athletic director. Although most games ASU plays are against Southern Conference teams, there are a few ACC games. According to Laney, the Mountaineers play teams such as Clemson and N.C. State in ordeT to supplement the athletic department's bud­ get. "All money received from game guar­ antees goes into the general operating budget for the athletic department," ac­ cording to Laney. Game guarantees are monies given to the away team from the home team. For Southern Conference games, the away team is paid a set fee. "The figure is set by the SC office and is affordable for all teams of the SC. It's part of the game process," Laney said. | .. Monies received from playing nonconference teams generate extra revenue for the athletic department and help curb the team's expenses, according to Laney. He explained that dollar amounts for play­ ing non-conferencegames aredetermined by individual athletic directors. "We shop around by sending letters to other schools to find teams to fill our schedule," Laney said. Other schools in the SC also play larger teams to help supplement their athletic budget. Laney noted that Furman Univer­ sity has already played University of Florida this season while last season they were shut out at Clemson. Fellow SC to play Notre Dame in 1996. "Atlantic Coast Conference schools preferplaying ASUbecauseof ourreputation," Laney said. "We invite SC teams to balance our schedule; every year we have one open date. ASU is good because it's close enough for fans to come to the gkmes," explained Bobby Robinson, Clemson ath­ letic director. He also said the money paid to ASU is comparable to what is paid to other SC schools.^ ''^ This season ASU will have three such "money games": Wake Forest, N.C. State and Clemson; the amount earned for each game ranges from $95,000-$l50,000. Laney refused to comment on the exact dollar amountfortheClemsongame, say­ ing "I am bound by the contractual condi­ tions from disclosing the amount." According to some of theplayers, ASU's football team plays larger schools more than just for a souree of revenue. "Everybody knows we(the university's athletic department) gel paid; the money doesn't mean anything. We look at it in a very positive way that helps the team play.

SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian New, Ldllor Activities in opposition to the Seby Jones Student Activities Center and the possibility of a new environmental audit for the university and its real estate holdings were two of the topics addressed in the first meeting of the year by the ASU Environmental Issues Committee. Dr. Harvard Ayers, an ASU anthropology professor and chairperson of the committee, said the SAC is "not a dead issue and that the people in attendance at the meeting should "educate theuniversity community about the SAC." Ayers said there is a large number of people in opposition to the project on campus from both students and faculty.

"The money was the furthermost thing from our mind; playing Clemson was a great opportunity and a learning experi­ ence," agreed lineman Derek Fewell. Now that Florida State has joined the ACC, the opportunity for ASU to play larger schools will become more difficult. According to Robinson, Clemson will probably stop playing Southern Confer­ ence teams such as ASU because of this expansion. "Wake will keep us because of the name recognition," Laney noted. However, this situation could create problems for ASU's athletic budget. In order to maintain the level we have become accustomed to, we need two money games. Last year we had only one, Wake Forest, and that meant we lost be­ tween $95,000 and $150,000 and we did not make budget. I feel like with the level of our program we can play two games with larger schools," Laney said. In scheduling opponents for this sea­ son, arrangements are made by both teams years in advance. Appalachian received a call from N.C. State four years ago, ac­ cording to Laney, requesting confirma­ tion of matches in both '90 and '92. Al­ though Appalachian asked not to honor the '90 date, N.C. State insisted that it was both or nothing. "We could not afford to give up both dates with State; that would have mean only one money game in '92, which would mean a budgetcut and a budget cut would affect all 18 sports on campus. All our programs are used to astandard. A budget cut would hurt everyone," Laney said. Chet Tomlinson, one of the biology graduate students who organized the poll, said the most important factor in con­ ducting the poll, no matter what the re­ sults were, was the need to have credibil­ ity.

Forty-six percent of the students con­ tacted in the random phone poll of almost two percent of the student population said they were against the SAC construction, leading those in favor of the facility by three percentage points. The remaining 11 percent said they had no opinion about the center. AMKKH : \!N "All the polls we heard about or were given to SGA were biased, so they were instantly thrown out. Even though each of the students who helped organize this had their feelings and opinions about the is­ sue, the poll needed to be done fairly," Tomlinson said. In order to have a credible poll, the group was assisted in forming the poll by Dr. Larry Kitchens of the statistics de­ partment. Tomlinson said he hopes the administration and SGA will take this new poll into account since it received faculty backing. Students were also asked in the phone poll what they considered the most im­ portant building needs on campus. Top­ ping the list of needs, according to the students polled, is new student housing, an addition to the present library and more classroom space, especially a new math and sciences building.

William E. O'Flaherty is an Do you ever wonder who sits behind the chair in the Oval Office at ASU? Who makes the impor­ tant decisions concerning the Appalachian com­ munity? Dr. John Thomas, our chancellor, is the man who holds all the answers. According to Thomas, this academic year will be a very challenging one. "This will be our year to achieve high quality programs given restraints to resources. This will take a good bit of our time," Thomas said. ASU has several goals for the1990-91 academic year which include: the internationalizing of cur­ riculum, the expansion of the ASU Foundation program, continuing support for recycling and the completion of several buildings on campus. Thomas said he would like to see the interna­ tional curriculum established at ASU continue to grow and he would like to see more students and faculty take part in this program, and he would like to see the China and Costa Rica programs continue to develop. "The ASU Foundation is in the process of lay ing plans for campaigning for ASU. They plan to seek funds from the private sector to supplement/ complement the state monies," Thomas said. One building is under construction on the ASU campus and the plans for several more are under­ way. The Student Activity Center, after some de­ lay, is also in progress, and plans for a bell tower near the Ned R. Trivette dining facility have been discussed. This dining facility should be com­ pleted and ready to serve students in the fall of 1991. Chancellor Thomas is very optimistic about the activity of the Senior Committee whichis composed of about 30 seniors. "This organization has great potential for enhancing the university," Thomas said. What is the worst thing about Appalachian? "The never ending strugglefor resources to present excellent academic programs. It is a constant chal­ lenge to update thingssuch as the library,"Thomas said. However, the best thing about the university, in Thomas' eyes, is the commitment of the faculty and staff to excellence. "The faculty practice their craft well. A staff devoted to supporting (programs at ASU)—that's what makes the university great. The bad things pale in comparison." Thomas gave three pieces of advice to college students. "Use wisely the freedoms that are inherent in college life as opposed to high school," Thomas said. With these freedoms, college students today have great responsibilities, he noted. The second piece of advice? Schedule your time wisely. "Establish a lifestyle where you can rest, study and you can take care of your health. This is very important," Thomi s said. "Enter academic programs with an open mind and take advantage of your resources.This will be the one time in your life that you will be dedicated to absorbing knowledge," Thomas said for his third point. Thomas continued,"We hear so much about the need to improve education. We look critically at it. I consider this a plus...This is healthy. If we are going to succeed and grow as a nation, we must pay attention to education at all levels." Thomas was bom in Fort Worth, Texas on April 23, 1931. He has four children, one who attends ASU. He holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Kansas and is a registered professional engineer. He has the juris doctor degree in law from the University of Mis­ souri at Kansas City and is a member of the Georgia Bar Association and the Federal Bar As­ sociation. His master's degree is in research and development management, and his doctorate is in business administration. Both of the latter degrees were earned at Florida State University. Thomas served as vice chancellor for academic affairs at ASU from 1974-79. Prior to that, he was the dean of the colleges of sciences and technology at East Texas State University. Chancellor John Thomas Disabilities do not hinder students in academics Such impairments as dyslexia, paraplegia and visual aberrance affect 150 determined ASU students By CANDA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer When the words, "handicapped" or "disabled" are heard, they usually provoke sympathy. This is an untouchable subject for some people. But handicapped people don't want sympathy—only prayers. They are achieving their dreams and goals out in the world and here at Appalachian. There are 150 disabled students on campus. Each disabled student has been accepted into this university by meeting the college's regular re­ quirements. Arlene Lundquist is in charge of these students here on campus as the coordinator of the Learning Disability Programand Disabled Student Services. She and her staff make sure the classes and assistance provided are appropriate for each student's condition. There are different accomodations for each handicap the students may have. With mobilityimpaired students confined to wheelchairs or on crutches, accessibility to their classes is the most important factor. Their classes must be easy to get to on campus and must be on the first floor. How­ ever, the sensory impaired students having problems with sight, hearing, reading, or writing overcome their classroom difficulties by having tape record­ ers, using the learning assistance program, and having their tests read to them. David Dawson is a graduate student who is majoring in rehabilitation psychology. He is dys­ lexic anddysographic. Dys­ lexia is a reading impair­ ment while dysographia is a writing impairment. He did poorly in two other univer­ sities until he was tested for his problems here. ASU is the only North Carolina uni­ versity that gives free test­ ing for learning disabilities. Learning disabilities are neurological conditions usually caused by brain damage at birth. Dawson says, "I use a tape recorder, and teachers always give me extra time on tests if I need it. Since I've been a gradu­ ate student I haven't needed proofreading, but there's someone always there to help me if I'm having prob­ lems with something. Teachers are understanding about my spelling and grammar, and they realize that as long as I have the content and the knowl­ edge, I will overcome." Junior Lorie Singleton has been almost com­ pletely blind since birth. She uses a device called a visual tech which en­ ables her to see things that are enlarged. S ingleton hopes to ma­ jor in special education so she can helpretarded children, and her aca­ demic concentration is history. ASU is Singleton's second college, "I like the peoplehere better," she says smiling,"they let me be independent and do things on my own." Singleton men­ tioned some of the dis­ --David Dawson appointments of her Graduate Student condition:" I couldn't get my driver's license, and I'd rather read on my own without hav­ ing to be read every­ thing." Rachel Larson, a sophomore, is paraple­ gic and moves around on crutches instead of a wheelchair. "I'd feel really handicapped if I was in u Teachers are understanding about my spelling and grammar, and they realize that as long as I have the content and the knowledge, I will overcome. a wheelchair," says Larson. "Even though it's harder to get around, I use my crutches." At three years old, she had complications during open heart surgery and lost the use of her legs. She loves to swim and keep her upper body in good shape. Larson feels that, 'Teachers really aren't aware of what to do or how to help me. I don't like to be patronized because I want to do things on my own. Some students stare at me, but most of the students are helpful and open doors for me and stuff." There is a federal law that states that teachersand advisors must make the right accomadations for each disabled student. Each of these students feel that teachers are great helping out with their condi­ tion. Larsonsays thoughtfully,"God has helped me to accomplish everything. He helps me to try in subtle ways, and he's always there for me." October is Disabled Month, and on Sept. 27 the Student Council for Exceptional Children spon­ sored a program in the student union. These three handicapped students and all handicapped people are survivors because they overcome so many obstacles that continue to make them stronger. It's ironic that each of these students wants to spend their lives helping other handicapped people achieve their goals. Larson says,"Other handicapped people have accomplished their dreams. I want to show others that they can do that also." Committee decides on a class gift By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian Staff Writer Since its beginning last year, the ASU Senior Committee has become an organization that pro­ vides information concerning seniors and plans activities for them as well. According to Patrick Henderson, the committee's advisor, the purpose of the committee is to "create class unity, allow students to help in planning a speaker for the December graduation ceremony, to publish a newsletter containing important information, and to solicit ideas to sponsor a class gift for the school." However, according to Henderson, their long term goal is to "have a positive effect on the ASU campus by building a foundation to bring a class closer. We are Finding students that will continue to support the university after their graduation." He added, "When you graduate, we want you to be able to remember your class."

The Mountaineers first drive of the half stalled after three plays, but Bulldog return specialist Derek Moore fumbled Harold Alexander's punt and the Apps' Tony Leonard recovered on The Citadel 35, giving ASU a second chance. Five plays later, Campbell took the ball in from threeyards out for his second touchdown of the game. Millson's extra point gave ASU a 17-3 cushion. The Citadel then went on a 13-play drive that resulted in another Barnard 25yard field goal, slicing the deficit to 17-6 at the end of the third quarter. After an ASU punt, the Bulldogs went on another scoring drive. Led by the rushing of Douglas and Ray Wimbush, the Bulldogs drove to the ASU 16-yard line, setting up Barnard's third field goal of thegame, a 33-y ard effort which brough The Citadel within 17-9. The Bulldogs defense stifled ASU on their next possession as well, and after another Alexander punt. The Citadel be­ gan a crucial series with 7:02 to play. On the second play of the drive, Douglas ran along the right side for a 21-yard gain that put the ball in ASU territory. But Douglas was brought down for a five-yard loss on the next play by Donnie Durham. Sands and Douglas werestopped on the next two plays, setting up a fourth-and-13 from midfield. Douglas tried a keeper again but was stopped after a three-yardgain, turning the ball over to ASU on their own 47-yard line with 4:53 to play. The Mountaineers went back to their rushing game and attempted to run out the clock. Reaves, who led ASU with 127 yards rushing, ground out 25 yards on the The Mountaineers final score of the contest came with :18 left, when Mack intercepted third-string quarterback Mike Bortnick's first pass of the game and dashed 45 yards down the sideline for a touchdown. Millson booted the extra point, giving ASU a 27-9 victory. "We had a great week of practice," Mack said. "I set a goal in my mind that I was going to produce." The Bulldogs outgained the Moun­ uineers 311-188 in toul offense and 264166 on the ground, but the App defense came up with the big plays when they had to. "We had in our mind the 'bend, but don't break' attitude," Mack said. "They (The Citadel) were forced to break the things they are comfortable in doing," Moore said."We stopped a better team today than beat us a year ago." In addition to Mack and Hall, the ASU defense was led by linebackers Dwayne Pelham and Johnny Jennings, who had 13 and 12 uckles respectively. Moore espe­ cially praised Pelham, who was playing with an injured hamstring. "Dwayne Pelham did what needs to be done," Moore said. "He was playing hurt. There was a look in his eyes I've never seen before." Offensively, the Mountaineers got 44 yards on eight carries from A1 Ellis, to complement the strong performance of Reaves. "A1 Ellis is a good runner,"Moore said. "We're going to gradually get him more involved in our offense." The Bulldogs were led by the running of Sands and Douglas. Sands rushed 19 times for134 yards, while Douglas gained 59 yards on 17 carries. "Our offense continued to sputter," Taaffe said. "Our defense hung in there and did a good job, but we weren't good enough to win the game."

ASU next defeated the Georgia Tech Lady Yellow Jackets in four games: 1215, 15-8, 15-10 and 15-8. It was ASU's first win of the year against an ACC oppo­ nent, having lost to Duke and Clemson earlier in the season. 'Tech wasn't as strong as I expected them to be," McGee said. "They were good on defense, but had a tendency to sit back and not go after the ball." On Saturday, the Lady Apps fell to a Teresa Bream led Liberty squad in four games: 15-11,15-11,14-16 and 15-5. McGee was impressed with the play of Bream. "She (Bream) was a very good volley­ ball player," McGee said. "She hurt us all around." ASU finished the tournament by whipping Coastal Carolina in three straight games: 15-4, 154 and 15-9. "It was a good match to end the tourna­ ment with," McGee said. "We were able to put in all of our subs and let them get experience." The win over UNCC was especially gratifyng for McGee and the Lady Apps. "They're a big rival of ours," McGee said. "There was a lot of motivation for us to play well in that game." Tammy Craig, Kim Nelson, Joanne Myers andSabrina Hill were thestandouts for the Lady Mountaineers in the tourna­ ment, with Craig being named to the alltoumament team.

The rest of the contest was marked by excellent ball handling for AS U and costly misfires for Davidson. Time ran out on any attempted comeback hopes for the Wildcats as the Mountaineers wrapped up the 3-1 victory. When asked to assess the value of his team's victory, ASU Head Coach Art Rex said, "I think it's more than a mild upset. It's a top 20 team coming in here, and I think anytime you can beat a top twenty team you're going to be in an upset situ­ ation." Rex pointed to the Apps' difficul t,early season schedule as a key in Friday night's victory. "We played South Carolina tight when they werenumber five (in the nation) and Wake when they were number six, so we knew we could do it. It was just a matter of getting things together and get­ ting the work ethic back." Looking toward the Mountaineers' future contests Rex said, "It (the victory) will help, without a doubt. The guys will believe in themselves a little bit more, and I think they will work a little harder, and believe in everything we're trying to do here." Rex believes that ASU's focus on de­ feating a nationally ranked team in Davidson will carry over into the Apps' Southern Conference play, which begins Sunday, Oct. 7 at Kidd Brewer Stadium against the Bulldogs of The Citadel.

Brad Dodson, running less than a fiveminute-mile pace, finished first for ASU and fifth overall. His time, 24:56, was a personal best for the season. Coach Fereshetian said, "Brad was too geared up on one meet (Wake Forest In­ vitational last weekend); it's just a meet, one more race. It allowed him to relax more for this meet. He ran what he's capable of running." "You have to look at how you perform as a team," Fereshetian said. "Five out of our nine runners had personal records and seven ran a great race." Despite catching a cramp at the threemilemark, ASU freshmanBilly Pemberton also finished with a personal record of 25:51. The top five finishers for ASU were Dodson, Pemberton, Robby Sellati, Todd Walters and Mike Bowers. "Robby (Sellati) ran well," Fereshetian said. "Hehadabigpersonalrecord(26:08). He looked good, so did Mike" (Bowers, with a personal best of 26:29).

There'll be a two-or threepoint difference, and we '11 be there to pick up the pieces." Women's Three-Miler Clemson University captured first place in the women's three-mile run. Claiming second was the University of South Caro­ lina. Plagued with minor injuries, the Lady Mountaineers took sixth in themeet, with­ out help from their first, second, fourth and sixth runners.

Leigh Cooper finished for ASU with a time of 18:25. DeAnna Davis, close be­ hind with a time of 18:29, took second for the team. Finishing out the top five were freshman Melanie Babb, junior Julie Anderson and freshman Carrie Hogg. "We had a lot of improved times," Weaver said. "Everyone who ran this course in high school ran 40 seconds to a minute faster in Saturday's race." "Everyone will be back for the next meet," Weaver said, referring to the in­ jured runners.

State this weekend. In the 1990 football season, las only four home games scheduled; students are forced to travel to rait schools if they want to see their team play. Have you actually graduated?!? As winter descends on Boone once again, everyone looks forward to those activities associated with thecolder months: homecoming, Halloween, Thanksgiving and for a number of hopeful seniors-graduation. Yes, December no longer belongs exclusively to Santa Claus and mistletoe because now a select group of ASU seniors' visions of sugarplums have turned to visions of diplomas and proud relatives bearing gifts. On Dec. 9, only two months and seven days away (but who's counting?), Appalachian will have its second December commencement ceremony. A graduation ceremony in December is basically an excellent idea. In the past, those who finished their re­ quirements at the end of fall semester were simply mailed a diploma and could participate in the commencement ceremony in May, more than five months later, if they wished. By this time, I would imagine, the thrill is gone. The ceremony in December provides you with your well deserved pomp and circumstance But, as with most good things, there are a few drawbacks and maybe a myth or two that should be dispelled. You may notice if you check out your handy Appala­ chian Events calendar that commencement takes place Sunday, Dec. 9, yet the last day of classes is not until Dec. 11. So how, you ask, can you graduate before you've even completed your classes, not to mention exams? Elemen­ tary, you don't really graduate—not officially anyway. Once you have taken your exams and passed the re­ quired number of hours, your diploma is mailed to your home. The ceremony, therefore, is simply for show. This may pose a rather interesting dilemma. Picture this: Sally Senior anxiously awaits her pending graduation. Her classes are going well and her future looks bright. In September, Sally orders graduation announcements. In October, shegets her cap and gown and receives word that indent morale has not dimished while our team is playing big name »ls. Students should continue to come to the games, show school spirit hck the team 100 percent With student support, the team feels confident going on the field. Ilisalright for ASU to schedule some larger teams for the Mountaineers by, but they need to keep in mind that four home games is simply not jh for supportive fans every season. At the very least, half of the iuled football games should be slated for Kidd Brewer Stadium. Hie athletic director used funds from the Clemson game to send ASU's M Distinction" to Death Valley.

Helms has a personal agenda he works for instead of and often at the expense of the people of North Caro­ lina. One of the main reasons cited for voting for Helms is that he has a lot of power in the U.S.Senate. If Helms has so much power, then why does he allow our tobacco and textile industries to suffer while he sits in Washington with a presi­ dent from hisown party and does nothing? Ronald Reagan and George Bush have both repeatedly vetoed bills designed to protectour textile industry from foreign competition that often practices unfair trade policies against the U.S. Helms has been ineffective in encouraging both Republi­ can presidents to protect North Carolina's valuable textile industry. Helms also says heis concerned about tobacco. For the last 10years, boJi Reagan and Bush have unleased the most hostile programs to tobacco in history. Both men have acquiesced while their appointees have tried their best to destroy our state's number one industry. By GARY LARSON A day in the Invisible Man's household her entire family is coming all the way from Sacramento for her graduation. The ceremony goesoff without a hitch and all is well until Sally leams she did not pass her water ballet class. Herein lies a distressing mental and social problem for Sally. How does she explain to her family that she didn't actually graduate? Should she return her graduation gifts? This may be an etiquette problem worthy of Miss Manners. Although exaggerated somewhat, this scenario could really happen. Just the mere thought of failing a class and thus not graduating can be extremely stressful. Speaking of stressful, what about the post-graduation job search? I realize the whole idea behind college is to prepare one for a career in the real world, but somehow as a freshman and even as a sophomore, this seemed a vague and distant prospect. By junior year, the reality of my impending venture from the cozy security of college life became somewhat clearer-but not clear enough to cause any undue stress. Which brings me to my current status as a third-semester senior, unable to ignore the inevitable Editor's note: Mathews is a senior from Winston-Salem. any longer. She is majoring in English. Helms has not been effective in stop­ ping this onslaught. My question is "If Jesse Helms really has this power, why does he not use this power for North Carolina?" Helms has been running ads that dis­ tort Harvey Gantt's position on military spending. Ganttisnotsoftondefense, and he does not support drastic cuts in the defense budget. He sees the potential danger in the Persian Gulf and favors the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia. The Republican claim is that Gantt is an extremist on abortion because he does not favor further laws to take away a woman's right to make a choice. Helms, on the other hand, is opposed to all abor­ tions under any circumstances. No excep­ tions for rape, incest or for any reason. Helms is often characterized favor­ ably for not changing his positions. This must be why he decided to vote against a bill earlier this year that would allow for more funding for AIDS research. His reasoning was that a cure for AIDS would encourage homosexuality. All major medical groups now report that most of the new cases are among heterosexuals. But Jesse had madeup his mind andrefused to change no matter how out-of-date his thinking was. Helms took this stand the week after it was reported that AIDS is spreading at three times the national average in North Carolina. Gantt will support work to find a cure instead of playing on fear and ig­ norance and letting more people die. Gantt comes under fire for refusing to rule out a tax increase. But Gantt wants to reduce the high school dropout rate and improve North Carolina's pitiful SAT scores. Gantt sees that more federal funds for our schools would help. Gantt is also attacked for calling for a minimum amount of government regu­ lation. The Republicans claim all govern­ ment regulation "enslaves" the American people. I would like to pointout American taxpayers are now being forced to pay hundreds of billions of dollars as a result of the financial disasters of the savings and loan industry and the department of housing and urban development. Both of these debacles were made possible by the deregulation of the 1980s that Helms supported. It is certainly ironic that a man who made his reputation by complaining about government waste sat up in Washington right in themiddle of the biggestrip off of the American taxpayer in history and did nothing. A small amount of regulation would have prevented this. The environment is another impor­ tant issue Helms is out of sync on. He has consistently received low environmental ratings from environmental groups across the country. In fact, one group recently gave him an "award" for having the worst environmental record of all 535 members in both houses of congress. Helms was the only member of the U.S. Senate to vote against the Clean Air Act, a bill that has broad bipartisan sup­ port from virtually all members of both houses of Congress and got thepresident's seal of approval. It must be said that Helms is a man who will cling desperately to his values. But his values are out-of-date. At a time when the rest of the world is looking toward the future. Helms refuses to let go of the past. Gantt is the only candidate who has the desire to lead North Carolina forward and to concentrate on the important issues facing our state and thisgreatnation. Gantt will also stand firm for hisconvictions and more importantly, he will stand strong for North Carolina. He will be a senator that our state can not only respect but also be proud of. Gantt has no other agenda than to see the people of North Carolina get the best that they deserve. If you believe in that, vote for Harvey Gantt.

War is not needed, according to economist Special to The Appalachian THE f a r s i d e However, fellow graduates, don't despair. There is good news concerning your job search. First, ignore any myths you may have heard about the job market being either better or worse in December than it is in May. Dr. Ball, director of the Career Planning and Placement Cen­ ter, has reassured me that there is no difference in job opportunities at either time. Differences, he explained, lie in your economic and geographic preference and your area of study. So rest assured, we are at no disadvantage. Second, I want to remind you that graduation directly precedes Christmas, which provides an excellent excuse to postpone the dreaded search for meaningful employ­ ment. Wouldn't finding a job be an admirable New Year's resolution? One last reminder, graduates, December often brings a condition incompatible with travel...snow.The thought of participating in a commencement ceremony purely for the thrill of the event may be extremely disheartening if your family and friends are unable to share the moment with you because of inclement weather. Perhaps, just to be on the safe side, you should begin pricing snow-mobile rentals. Obviously there are one or two drawbacks to graduat­ ing in December. But, it seems to me that just about anything you do in life of any importance has some risk involved. In this case, the rewards far outweigh the risks. Democrats strike back at Helms article By RONNY RICHARDSON Playing Division I-A teams can have ill effects on some players. Our i las been fortunate so far as none of our football players have received nes during an ACC game. If our players are put at risk by playing these and suffer injury, then they are not capable of playing their own ice teams. They can't win the Southern Conference title or play in the I-AA playoffs if they are all incapable of playing due to injuries. Kimberly Mathews Suddenly, my once simple life is cluttered with com­ plex resume techniques, interview strategies and ques­ tions like "How do you hope to contribute to society?" This question is a fine one to ponder when what to watch on T.V. is a habitual debate. The massive U.S. military deployment in the Persian Gulf including the sending of many thousands of U.S. troops toSaudi Arabia is ill-advised and contrary to the interests of the great majority of people in the United States and in the world. Die troops should immediately be withdrawn to the United States. The U.S. government has offered sev­ eral rationalizations for its belligerent policy, all of them seriously flawed. U.S. allegation: the United States is dependent on Gulf oil, and without a se­ cure source there will be a supply crisis leading to industrial shortages and lines at the gas pumps. Moreover, the annexation of Kuwait will also lead to higher energy prices which will in turn cause a recession in the United States. Facts: U.S. dependency on Persian Gulf oil is not as extensive as we have been led to believe. In fact, barely 10 percent of U.S. oil supplies come from the Gulf states: 1.1 percent from Kuwait, 2.6 percent from Iraq and 7.1 percent from Saudi Arabia. Another 11.6 percent of U.S. oil supplies come from non-Arab OPEC countries; 22.4 come from nonArab, non-OPEC countries; and the re­ mainder (over half) from domestic sources. Thus, fears of "supply shock" are not well-grounded; no one need fear running out of gas anytime soon. The United States would be able to buy oil on the international market to meet its needseven if it does not have political control over Middle Eastern oil producing areas. The instabilities in the Gulf are causing higher oil prices (at least temporarily). Such higher prices do increase the likeli­ hood of a serious economic recession, but the major weaknesses of the U.S. economy—the S&L crisis, commercial bank failures, the budget and trade defi­ cits, slow productivity growth, loss of U.S. shares in global markets—have nothing to do with oil prices. In any case, higher oil prices are not worth a major war which will cost many times more than higher oil prices ever would, both in dol­ lars and lives. U.S. allegation: Iraq is subjecting the Kuwaiti population to occupation by a hostile, oppressive force, and the United States (perhaps under United Nations aus­ pices) should liberate it. Facts: while the Iraqi invasion was no humanitarian gesture,it should beremem­ bered that the Sheikdom of Kuwait was a virtual medieval monarchy where politi­ cal rights were limited to an all-male ar­ istocracy of 60,000 out of a total popula­ tion of over 2 million. Even such basic social amenities as public education were provided only to ethnic Kuwaitis, barely 40 percent of the population. The major­ ity of the residents of Kuwait, immigrant workers (chiefly from Iran, Palestine, Pakistan and the Phillipines) and their families, will be no worse off under Iraqi rule than they were under the Emir of Ku wait. A restoration of the monarchy by the United States or anyoneelse would not "liberate" or otherwise benefit them in the least. As for respecting the sovereignty of nations, the United States is in a particu­ larly poor position to pontificate about this so soon after having itself invaded Panama to install a government there through force of arms. U.S. allegation: the United States must hold on to its political control of the Gulf in order to guarantee supplies of oil to its allies in Japan and Europe. Facts: the Europeans and Japanese themselves do not buy this. They know that the Soviet Union, for instance, has abundant oil which it iseager to develop in tandem with them, and that in any event, they can buy oil from whatever regimes are in power in the Gulf states. The U.S.corporate interestsdesire U.S. control of Gulf oil not so much to guaran­ tee an adequate supply of oil for U.S. consumption but as a way of maintaining political leverage on other oil-importing nations, especially Japan and Germany. This kind of political leverage comes at the direct expense of ordinary citizens (and soldiers) in the United States itself as well as in other nations, and provides them no benefits; the benefits of this policy accrue only to corporate interests. Conclusion: the U.S. policies in the Middle East in fact further the interest of the rich and powerful capitalists, not the interest of the majority of the American (or other) people. Therefore we demand an immediate withdrawal of all U .S. troops from the Middle East. In the coming days, we are likely to be faced with a barrage of anti-Arab racism, caricaturing the physical features, dress and customs of Arabs. This kind of propa­ ganda is designed to win popular support for waging war against people from an­ other culture or ethnic group. Such racist outpourings were a characteristic feature of earlier U.S. wars against the Filipinos, the Japanese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the Panamanians. We should all be­ ware of falling into racist stereotyped thinking in the coming period of time, and actively oppose such racism in word and deed. Moreover, the U.S. soldiers who will die for the profits of the corporate elite consist disproportionately of black youth (some sources estimate that 65 percent of the combat troopsdeployed inSaudi Arabia are black) because racism in U.S. society has driven large numbers of minority youth into the military as the only alternative to unemployment. Therefore the fight against the U.S. intervention in the Middle East and the struggle against racism at home and abroad go hand in hand. Finally, the demand for the withdrawal of U.S. military forces in the Middle East is not an endorsement of Saddam Hussein and his own imperialist schemes. But the involvement of the U.S. military in the region will not improve things because its role is to setve the interests of the major financial interests in the United States, not to liberate, not to achieve democratic re­ form, and not to improve the well-being of non-elite people in the Middle East.

After searching the Duck Pond yester­ day, divers from the Boone Police Depart­ ment DiveTearn found no new leads in the search for Jeni Gray. Gray, an ASU staff member, was reported missing Sunday. According to Police Chief Zane Tester, the dive team searched the pond as part of the procedure he has implemented to help in the investigation. "We were trying to locate something as to what happened to her," Tester said. He added that his men were trying toeliminate certain areas where Gray may have been. Tester said a zone search has been conducted in which areas in the town where Gray is known to frequent have been blocked to allow officers to concen­ trate their search. According toTester, the search will be broadened, possibly by Sunday, if Gray does not turn up. According to officials, Gray was last seen Sunday morning after she left her house on U.S. 421 East at approximately 6:30 a.m. Her car was found in a parking lot on King Street Sunday afternoon. It was locked; her pockcibook was inside along with other personal belongings. Authorities say that the keys to the car have not been found. Gray is known to regularly walk a route along King, Depot and Rivers streets. Her roommate, Caroline Walker, said thatGray was going to walk and then run some errands that morning. Gray was supposed to meet her father at 11 a.m. to accompany him to church. She never showed up. Tester says that Gray's disappearance is a mystery to him and the other law enforcement officials who are helping in the search. Gray's co-workers at the ASU News Bureau and someof her friendshave posted fliers across campus and throughout the town hoping that someone will recognize her and be able to give officials a lead in the search. According toTester, his men have talked to many people in an attempt to find new information, but as of yet, nothing has turned up. An article in the "Winston-Salem Jour­ nal" states that Watauga County Sheriff Red Lyons said the investigation into Gray's disappearance has turned up no evidence of foul play. However, there have been reports of an attempted abduc­ By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor Vice Chancellor for Student Develop­ ment Dr. David Mclntire announced Tuesday that he will be leaving ASU in January. He has been selected to serve as Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the University of Missouri in Columbia. According to Mclntire, he was selected from a national pool of applicants. He said that he accepted the job Monday and notified ASU Chancellor John Thomas of his decision when he arrived from Mis­ souri. "Dave Mclntire has provided outstand­ ing professional service to Appalachian State University over the years,"Thomas said. "While we will miss him here, 1 extend my heartiestcongratulations to him on his appointment at the University of Missouri." According to Mclntire, he feels that he got the job based on his "vast range of experience in the student development field." He said that besides serving as the vice chancellor for Student Development at two universities, he has also held posi­ tions in the less visible aspects of the job such as in Residence Life and Career Planning and Placement. He added that another reason he feels he was selected for the position is his experience in the classroom. "At the university level, less that one percent of the vicechancellors whohold faculty status actually teach a class. " He said, "At UMC the chancellor himself gets up to teach a class at 7:40 in the morning. He values the commitment to teaching." Although Mclntire sees the move as a good opportunity, he was quick to point out that the decision was hard to make. "I '"tended Outlook: ^lr and cool with highs in the low 70s and lows in the 50s. e fecord high for today is 92 degrees set in 1939, and the 0rd low is 37 degrees set in 1947. as she left her home to go walking in downtown Boone. Accord­ ing to Gray's friends, she was reportedly wearing a light colored sweat shirt, jeans, sneakers and a jacket at the time of her disap­ pearance. She is described as being 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing 110 pounds, with short medium-brown hair. Student Development Dr. David Mclntire Thomas praised Mclntire by saying, "I can tell them for sure that the students there (at UMC) will have a strong advo­ cate and an able leader in Student Devel­ opment." He added, "All of us at Appala­ chian wish Dave, Betsy, and their children the very best of everything in their profes­ sional and personal lives." Mclntire said that he had received a lot of support from the ASU administration in reaching his decision and added that Thomas gave the selection committee at UMC a good recommendation. Mclntire says that he sees the move as a good opportunity for his own personal and professional growth. According to him, UMC has a current enrollment of 26,000 students and is the home of the top ranked school of journalism in the nation. It is also the flagship institution in the four school University of Missouri System. He said that the UMC Student Affairs department has a staff of 585 full time employees and operates with an annual budget of $46 million. Mclntire says that hesees ASU as being at a crossroad in its growth. "We are an exceptional medium-sized institution," Mclntire said, " but we have suffered an inferiority complex in the past. ASU is poised now to focus on quality. All of the building on campus will help develop our infrastructure." He added that ASU needs to "catch up in size" and said that the University could become a greater institution if it would have mixed feelings about leaving, " he said. "I have a lot of good friends at the university (ASU) and in Boone. This is a great place to raise a family." Mclntire said that he and his wife, Betsy, decided they would not consider leaving Boone until their last child gradu­ ated from Watauga High School. Their youngest daughter finished high school last spring. "We considered it a timely move," he said. Mclntire said that he feels ASU has "one of the strongest Student Affairs teams as you would find anywhere," and added "there is an exceptional mass of commit­ ted and dedicated Student Affairs profes­ sionals at this university." He said that he enjoyed his work with Chancellor Thomas and the other vice chancellors and commented that ASU has "an exemplary support network"through­ out the university. "We (the university) really do have the best interests of the students at heart." "stop trying to be cheap and stop apolo­ gizing." "With the outstanding student body, faculty and staff we have nothing will stop ASU from becoming one of the best campuses in the South." Mclntire said that when it comes to his plans after leaving ASU, he is not going to look too far ahead. "Ijust want to do as good a job as I can at the University of Missouri, and then I'll see where that leads me."

Tester said he could neither confirm nor deny the reports but added that many people have told him of similar situations occurring in the area. Tester said, "We don't want to spook people who may like to jog in the area, but we are asking them to be very cautious and alert as to who is around them." He added that such a disappearance is something ASU's Performing Arts and Forum Series is no longer under the management of Student Programs. According to Direc­ tor of Student Programs, Dave Robertson, management of the program has been Transferred to the Department of Cultural Affairs. Along with the Performing Arts and Forum Series, the department is also in charge of An Appalachian Summer. Robertson said the change was exe­ cuted in hopes that the Cultural Affairs department can supply more adequate funding for the many programs scheduled to take place on campus throughout the year. He said that the Performing Arts and Forum Series has been in existence at ASU for over twenty years and added that he does not foresee any major changes in the new management of the program. Robertson said the events involved in the change are most of the major cultural programs which take place at the univer­ sity during the academic year. He added that guest speakers, theater shows, musi­ cal guests, and such were formerly sched­ uled and managed through the Office of Student Programs. According to the Department of Cul­ tural Affairs a few of the highlights com­ ing up this Year will be the Tony Awardwinning play "Ma Rainey's Black Bot­ tom", the musical ensemble An Die Musik, the world-renowned Lar Lubovitch Dance Company and the Chick Corea Acoustic Band. Director of Cultural Affairs Robert Chumbley said he does not foresee any major changes or problems with his newly acquired responsibility. He did say, however, that An Appalachian Summer was cut short this season to allow prepara­ tions for upcoming fall events to begin. According to Chumbley, An Appala­ chian Summer is a series of cultural events which take place at the university during the summer Months . He said that the events are much like the ones scheduled during the rest of the year. See MANAGEMENT pg. 2 Turn the page ...

It was amazing how many in the audi­ ence were people under the age of 18. The band likes to publicize their audience as being between the ages of 14 and 30. In fact, at one time 38 Special turned down a sponsorship with Budweiser because of those in their audience upon whom it would reflect badly. After a 30-minute intermission, the show that everyone had been anxiously awaiting started, along with all thescream­ ing, cheering, clapping and dancing that Just as 38 Special was starting into "Chat­ tahoochee," asking if there was a doctor in the house, the real paramedics rushed in to assist a spectator needing aid. 10p.m. However, "warming up"seems eill they did.

However, much of idience felt 38 Special could have mch better in an opener. The group go along with a concert. Their opening song, which once started with a roaring cannon, now uses the lames Bond theme, with the group jumping into"Hot' Lanta." Later they used their famous line,"Do you believe rock'n'roll is alive and kicking?" Then they went into "Rock and Roll Strat­ egy" followed by "Back Where You Be­ long" and "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys." During almost any concert, it adds ex­ citement to the performance when the band pulls someone out of the audience. The girl chosen, wearing a "Just say Yes" T-shirt (promoting liquor by the drink), was certainly fullof just theenergy needed. Just as 38 Special was starting into "Chattahoochee," asking if there was a doctor in the house, the real paramedics rushed in to assist a spectator needing aid. After this incident, 38 Special rolled on, playing favorites such as "Twentieth Century Fox" and the famous jello-wrestling theme, "Little Sheeba." By this time the security guards were beginning to look a little antsy, and the spectators a little tired. Two more songs and 38 Special said goodnight. "No," we all thought. "It can't be over! The lights aren't on and they still haven't played 'Hold on Loosely.' " Several people left, but there were still those who remained, chanting "We want more!" And they came back. The band did sing "Hold on Loosely," then gave their fans a formal goodbye while singing "I'm so glad I'm living in the USA." The concert was in keeping with the style of 38 Special. They've come a long way from their previous built-upimage of "Lynyrd Skynyrd junior." 38 Special has changed their viewers from a "bunch of guys in confederate hats" to a well rounded crowd of teen-agers full of life. Their image has been changed in keeping with today's demand. But their music is 5,.. the same.

The symphony's performance was ex­ traordinary in many dimensions, within extreme boundaries. From the deep, earth shaking sounds of the drum to the shrill, ear piercing screams of the violin, the music of the symphony proved -to both delight and challenge the senses. Like in a good movie, at the symphony one can run the gamut of emotions, from joviality to fright to anguish, creating mental pictures to accompany the music. It may be this multi-sensory experience that allows the symphony to continue as a well-loved art form which has already spanned the centuries. The North Carolina Symphony was founded in 1932 by North Carolinian Lamar Stringfield, a Pulitzer Prize-win­ dency program here in Boone, and is the artistic director and conductor of the summer residency as well. The featured violinist, Nicolas Kitchen, is a native of Durham. Kitchen made his orchestral debut at the age of 12.

A few other shows that attract attention as possible hits include "M ajor Dad,'"The People Next Door," and "The Young Riders.""Major Dad"starsGerald McRaney as a Marine major who is in love with a liberal reporter with three daughters.

Pygmies cook an eclectic stew By SELBY GARRISON Appalachian Staff Writer Who can successfully lake the classic Steve Miller tune "Rock 'N Me" and turn it into a rap of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia?" And who can pull off a killer reggae version of Led Zeppelin's "D'yer Mak'er?" Who else but Swankee's Pyg­ mies? As proof, this new group made their debut at Whatchamacallit's Sept. 21 to a small but very supportive audience. There are four Pygmies. Eric Bachrnann, a native of Asheville, not only sings lead but displays talent on keyboard, saxo­ phone, and harmonica. His stage antics include showing off his "ugly shoes" and half-mooning the audience. He and lead guitarist Robert Martin have played in several bands together including"Allister T ale and "Iron Beagle." Martin, a music major at ASU, plans to make a career in performance. Bass guitarist John Willingham is a recent ASU graduate who claims fame as an ex-member of Stream of Conscious­ ness and The Rolling Stones! Drummer Chris Wabich is classically trained and has played in several orchestras as well as "We want to start zeroing in on learning rock bands. originals.

Wes Cra­ ven ("Nightmare on Elm Street") is the executive producer, and Jeffrey Jones ("Ferris Bueller's Day Off", "Beetlejuice"), Mary Gross ("Saturday Night Live"), and Christina Pickles ("St. Elsewhere") star. The first episode was actually funny (oilier critics have not been kind), but the show needs a lotof work to succeed. Mary Gross's character in particular is horribly written and acted. She needs to loosen up, and the writers need to take morechances. This one, however, may be the season's sleeper hit. "Young Riders" are a bunch of Pony Express riders forging a new trail of communication to the west. If this one succeeds, these boys will be forging a new/old genre to the screen—the western (the success of "Lonesome Dove" cer­ tainly cannot hurt). The pilot balanced cartoon violence with more than enough sentimentality, and even a little under­ cover romance.The actors pose and primp a lot, and one wonders how many comingof-age epiphanies these boys can stand.

"Chicken Soup" will succeed simply because it follows "Roseanne on Tuesday nights at 9:30. The fact that suc­ cess is imminent does not mean the show is worth your time.

"We have gotten a lot faster; we've developed the parts more. It's gonna a funk a little more," Umbarger said. "It's gotten more crystalline," Carter said. The band also has some new equip­ ment, including new amps and drum heads. Psycho Acoustics Research and Devel­ opment learned that they had picked a popular name, Fear and Loathing, while attending ex- Dead Kennedy Jello Biaff a's speech last year. "I spoke with Jello about a demo tape and said he already had three tapes of bands called Fear and Loathing," Carter said. So Fear and Loathing decided to change their name, but soon realized that process can be quite a hassle. "We had a list of 200 different names accompanied by cute pictures that Karsten had drawn. We narrowed it down to 80 and then didn't use any of them," Carter said. After the switch to Psycho Acoustics Research and Development, Carter said the band's image changed. "Our image changed a lot then, but the music hasn't." Psycho Acoustics is still Boone's own "funk, punk, psychedelic disco-death metal from hell, moreor less" band. The band None of the Above, whose sound is described as "progressive pop", will open up the show Friday night. The crazed fun begins around 9 p.m. and only will cost $3. Be sure to arrive at Whatchamacallit's early so you can see KISS's alter ego Psycho Acoustics rock the bells. Carter said,"Come drink, have fun, but don't knock any holes in any walls." Despite all their troubles, Psycho Acous­ tics is back better than ever. "We're ready to put Boone back on the face of the alternative map," Carter said.

Finally Chicago Cubs fans once again have something to cheer about. Their beloved Cubbies are the champions of the National League East for the second time in the 80s.

The majority of the die hard fans thought this was a I major coup and the worst thing to I happen-,sjnSf t&SP'at Chicago fire. I I even heartPbae Cub fan say that the Cubs would never win a Pennant while there were lights in Wrigley Field. My guess is that the same man will be in the bleachers for the first playoff game | under the lights in Chicago. Cub fans have persevered through , some tough times but they have always I supported tltc Cubs to the end. From 1973 to 1983 the best the Cubs could do was to finish at 81-81 in 1977. Older Cubs fans will remember the hard times in the 60s when the Cubs had a record |of 59-103 in both 1962 and 1966. Today's Chicago Cubs have a I youthful vigor about them that has helped propel them to the top. The fans of the Cubs deserve this kind of team effort that has caused the city of Chicago to stop and take a look at what |baseball used to be like. All of this new excitement that the Cubs have produced has caused a few problems for the long-time Cubs fans. When a team wins, it immediately attracts new fans. With the Cubs fans this is a big problem, because as the old Cubs fans describe it—there are Cubs fans and then there are "Die-Hard Cubs Fans. I have a friend who is a "Die-Hard Cubs Fan," and he even has a little card to prove it. This die-hard fan is from Chicago and grew up watching the Cubs in Wrigley Field. He explained to me that in order to get a card that says you are a die-hard Cubs fan, you have to live, eat and sleep Cubs baseball. He explained that many of the "Die-Hard Cubs Fans" are really disgruntled with yuppies in Chicago who buy all the playoff tickets so the "real" Cubs fans can t get tickets. These people are despairingly called the "suit crowd" at Wrigley Field. You can bet that the real Cub fans will do anything they can to see the playoff games live. The rooftops will be full of Cubbies when the playoff scries comes to Wrigley. It's impossible to think about the Cubs and not think of HarTy Carey. Technically Harry is one of the worst broadcasters I have ever heard. He has a raspy voice, and he sounds as if he won't be able to make it to the next inning at times. Also, he isn't objective at all and has been known to make strong editorial comments about the Cub's players and their management, but as long as the Cubs fans worship this man as a symbol of the Cubs he w ill be welcome in the Chicago pressbox. All Cubs fans should take time to really enjoy the success of the Cubs this season. As every true baseball fan knows, the Law of Averages turn the standings around like a clothes dryer, and i! is very unlikely that the Cubs fans will be bothering AT&T for tickets this lime next year. So make sure you enjoy it this year. Make sure you videotape all the games; they could be valuable a few years from now. Do you know how much a videotape of the Cleveland Indians is worth? Defensively, the secondary should be a Buccaneer strong point. Veterans Derrick (Rick) Harris (5-11,171), Juan McGarrah (5-11,194)and William Dean (5-10,180) return. Harris is closing in on the NCAA interception record and already holds the national mark for most yards on intercep­ tion returns. The team returns 38 lettermen from last season and should benefit from a good recruiting year. Seven of the 19 incoming Don Riley ETSU head coach The linebackers are all new to their positions this season, as the ETSU squad lost its linebacking corps to graduation.

Burt led the Southern Conference and was eighth in the nation in kickoff returns with an average of 25.8 yards per return last year. In the world of Club Sports... Randy Meredith (6-0,194) will be the probable starter at quarterback, with Mark Williams (6-0,170) as the back-up. Both are sophomores and shared playing time last year. Increasing the depth of the posi­ tion is Bobby Raulerson (6-1, 200, Jr.) who broke his hand one week before last year's season began. LACROSSE TEAM WINS The ASU Lacrosse Club defeated UNC-C Saturday in the first game ever played by the team. The Mountaineers played in the mud, holding Charlotte's large team to a score of 9-6. Scorers for the Mountaineers included Randy Bacon, Carter Thompson, Gregg Adams, Andy Franks, Steve Carr, and Bob Cole. Although the offense did a great job in scoring, the defense, led by goalie John Evans, won the game. This weekend the team will travel to Charlotte to take part in an eight team tournament hosted by the Charlotte Lacrosse Club. Other teams participat­ ing in the tournament will be: UNC-C, Guilford, Triangle Lacrosse Club, Pfeiffer, Charlotte Lacrosse Club, and Rhinestone College. Five of ETSU's top seven receivers return from last year. They are headed by Dale Middlcton (5-10, 170, Sr.) who caught 24 passes for 326 yards in 1988. Intramural events are coming up soon LADY APPS LOSE The Lady Mountaineers of ASU lost a close soccer game with Lees-McRae, By TABETHA JONES Special To the Appalachian September is a month full of tourna­ ments. The Office of Recreational Sports is sponsoring a weekend Softball tourna­ ment, a Putt-Putt tournament and a golf tournament. The golf tourney took place Thursday, Sept. 14. The first annual weekend Softball tour­ nament will take place the weekend be­ ginning Sept. 29. The entry deadline is Tuesday, Sept. 26. The games will be seven innings in length with a 12-run rule in effect. The 12-run rule is employed when a squad is leading by at least 12 runs at the conclusion of five complete innings. The games will be played on State Farm Field. A participant must be enrolled as a student or employed as a faculty or staff member to play. The winners will receive Intramural Champion T-shirt. Skip Eubanks, special eventscoordina­ tor, said, "This is the first tournament ever and we want to make it the best ever, so please sign up and come to State Farm ready to roll." The second annual Putt-Putt tourna­ ment will also take place this month. The tournament will be held at the new Moun­ tain Golf Putt-Putt facility, located on Highway 105. The tournament is Sept. 26 at 3 p.m. and theentry deadline is Wednes day, Sept. 20. There will be four persons to a team (4 males or 4 females). A $2 fee will be charged to each participant. Mountain Golf will provide prizes for winners. The male and female team win­ ners will receive Mountain Golf T-shirts. The male and female individual winner will receive sweat shirts. Second place male and female individuals winners will receive T-shirts, while third and fourth place male and female individual winners will receive four game passes. Fifth and sixth place individual winners take home two game passes. The first place winners will also receive Intramual Champion Tshirts. As for the golf tourney held Sept. 14, Eubanks said: "This was the first year we ever had the tournament at Roan Moun­ tain. We felt like tlie tournament needed a change and a challenge and Roan Moun­ tain offered both.The Roan Valley course is one of the best courses in this area and it was a privilege to have the tournament there." There were 15 individuals and 2 teams who participated. The team winners were the SGA Golfers who won with a total score of 369. Andy Swofford shot a 77, Caryl Ghent shot an 88, Brad Edwards SGA president shot a 91, and Randy Johnson shot a 110. The individual male and female winners were Andy Swofford (77) and Linda Campbell (111).Campbell was the only female to participate in the tourney. Eubanks added: "We had a great time on the course, but I think the $20 entry fee may have scared a few of the participants away. But the $20 was well worth it. Those who didn't enter really missed out on some very competitive golf but hey, that s OK. We'll be looking for you next year." More special events will be taking place throughout the year. Persons interested in participating in upcoming tournament should ccntact Eubanks at the Quinn Center.

Five offensive starters return and now the team is becoming more familiar with coach Don Riley's offense. As for their total running attack, the Bucs have gained 571 overall yards rushing this season, last week Searcy rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns against Wester n Carolina Running last week, ASU unveiled a new running at tack with the performance of quarterback D J. Campbell. The freshman passer ran for ali three Mountaineer touchdowns against James Madison, the first QB to do that for ASU in 13 years.

SOCIETY The ASU defense proved how consistently solid they are in the second half of their game against James Madison. The defensive line, anchored by second team all-conference pick Chris Conner, should put pressure on ETSU's quarterbacks throughout the game. The Mountaineer linebackers, including returning starters Xeno Williams and Johnny Jennings, along with leading tackier on the club Dwayne Pelham, should be able to handle any Buc threat. ETSU's has two quarterbacks ranked in the Southern Conference. Both Mark Williams and Randy Meredith have combined for 543 yards in the air. Searcy is the top receiver for the Bucs averaging 3.5 yards a catch. Campbell has been surprising this year and is currently ranked third in the conference for passing efficiency. Melchor has been a plus out of the backfield with numerous receptions. Jeff Dudan has averaged two catches a game from his tight end slot and is among the league leaders in receptions.

The ETSU secondary should be a Buccaneer strong point with three veterans returning from last season. Of the three, senior cornerback Derrick Harris is just three interceptions shy of the NCAA interception record. Harris already holds the national mark for most yards on interception returns. As for the linebacking corps, all Buc linebackers are new to their positions, as a result of being moved from other slots. Defense Lend a hand... Though the Bucs are at home at Memorial Center, the Mountaineers have taken the last several games between the two squads, including a 51 3 humbling by the Apps last year in Kidd Brewer. ASU is presently 0-1 in conference play, leaving Jerry Moore to believe that the team has its back to the wall in the very early going. The Buccaneers are already experienced with Southern Conference opponents this year and so far we have compiled a 2-1 record, including a win last week in Cullowhee over Western Carolina. ETSU needs to put their losing streak against the Apps behind them if they plan to walk away in victory.

Damage caused by the storm has been estimated at or above S3 billion, and thousands of homes arc still without water or electricity. To add to an already bad situation, looting and abnormal price inflation have occured in both Carolinas. It has been reported that gas has been selling at some locations around Charlotte for over $4 per gallon, and much needed ice has brought in as much as $12 per bag. Disasters arc a time for people to come together, not to take advantage of a situation for personal gain. There is more than one way to take advantage of a disaster, and the news media is cashing in. The people in Charleston were told to evacuate before the hurricane hit, which was just in time for every television station in the region to move in. This sets a bad example and undermines the message that the situation may be dangerous. While some of these media gladiators really want to report the situation for the sake of their audience, others arc doing it for personal gain and exposure as fearless journalisst. Needless to say, many of these ambitious people are looking to move from local television to the networks. The media has an obligation to the public to report the news as it happens. It also has an obligation to set a good example for the public. The fact that the coast was flooded with more than water last week sends mixed signals to those deciding whether to stay or evacuate during the storm. Fortunately, many persons are helping to alleviate the problems caused by Hurricane Hugo. Floridian Seth Rhodes has organized a system in Land Harbor toconvey donated canned goods to the people in Charleston. Anyone interested in helping should call (704) 733-1638. Over $2,000 has already been collected in Land Harbor alone. In addition, radio stations across the Carolinas have been collecting donations for those hardest hit by the hurricane, and the Red Cross has already been receiving food donations from prominent businesses. ASU has had an abundance of conflicting messages defacing everything from bathroom stalls to library desks. Stereotypes and prejudice give birth to libelous phrases designed to insult opposing groups. "Granola" is one label seen throughout campus, but I'm still unable to totally grasp its meaning. "Jock," "Frat Boy" and "GDI" are fairly easy to identify with, but "Granola" is not quite as clear. My instincts tell me that in order to qualify as "Granolas, people must be liberal in their politics, sport earthy clothes, such as tie-dyes, and enjoy the pleasures of THC. Of course, there may be other tangents which make up the ldcnl (jranola but no stereotype as a factual base With this in mind, I have a hard time taking any of the graffiti at ASU seriously. Shallow attempts to classify individuals are the product of insecurity. This fact is visible in the tunnels which run under River Street. Usually reserved as sites to announce Greek functions, these tunnels are at times used by artists to display their work. Abstract figures and tessellations are currently on exhibit in the tunnel next to Justice Hall. I m no art critic, but some of the works appear to be very complicated and difficult to create.

ANTHONY ADAMS Appalachian Columnist Ain't it great to live in a state that can boast having as a member of it's popula­ tion one of the most famous senators in the entire United States? Ain't it a gas to think that people all over the land of the free and the home of the brave can look to North Carolina and say: "That's the state that elected Jesse Helms to the Senate. That's right; the Old North State is who we have to thank for the wit and wisdom of Helms. Why, if it weren't for the voters of North Carolina, the Senate of our great land would be lacking one of its most prolific representa­ tives!" I bet they could go on and on... In fact, usually they do. During the past year there was a poll in a Washington magazine concerning the poularity of current Senate members. It may not come as a surprise to those of us who follow Jesse and his "crack" senatorial decisions that he finished dead last. But that's all right. Jesse is living proof that popularity isn't everything. It's more important to get the job done. Well, heck, that makes more sense,especially when you consider good taste, but I bet if we made a lot of Helms' recent record. them, they would sell really well.

Or is that the commonminded? Hey, I've got an idea! He's done so much for us, let's show him our apprecia­ tion. For our next art project, how about putting a picture of him in the bodily excrement of our choice? Now I'm not saying this would be done in the name of to be the first of his many concerns. Not long ago, Helms spoke against the pro­ posal to ban smoking on all airline flights (brought to the Senate's attention by Sen. Frank Lautenburg of New Jersey). Since Helms hails from North Caro­ lina, it is understandable that he must speak on behalf of the tobacco industry especially since he will be up for reelec­ tion soon. Never mind the fact that smok­ ing is incredibly dangerous to smok and non-smokers alike (a mute point debate anymore). It would be politi suicide to mess around with the liveliho of so many of his voters. Why, it would almost be like asking of our neighbors in South America a our pals, like General Manuel Noriega Panama, to give up selling drugs. I mei gosh, thesedrugs, like cocaine or nicotii represent quite a large bit of revenue f those in "the business." We must look past the fact that su stances like crack or cigars are dangero to folks; instead, we have to realize t)i we are taking profits away from peop when we ban smoking on airlines or d clare crack illegal.

If you don't agree with me Critical views don't cut it To the Editor: In the 9/21 issue of "The Appala­ chian, William O'Flaherty discussed some of the various interconnections between critical viewing skills and censorship, curiously enough falling on the side of censorship. I feel that, whether or not he has misinterpreted the information available to him, his view is incorrect. Mr. O'Flaherty states that, while preparing for an "Appalachian" article on critical viewing skills, an ASU professor expressed to him that "the best and only effective way to change what one considers to be a negative impact of the mass media is to give people the tools to view things in our image-based world more critically." Mr. O'Flaherty then states that this critical viewing would naturally lead to the elimination of things which are not "good," and censorship would be unnecessary. Since things which he implicitly seems to view pejoratively are, in fact, produced, something is missing from the equation presented Mid censorship is the "obvious" remedy. He goes on to say that without censor­ ship, we could not rid ourselves of the "negative effect of mass media." Humbug. While Mr. O'Flaherty is to be applauded for bringing the concept of critical viewing skills to light, it needs to be applied to his article as well. Several huge reasoning gaps exist in his arguments. To wit... Critical viewing implies the accep­ tance of what is presented to you only after analysis of a number of aspects of the information source-potential bias, brevity and/or incompleteness, ad infinitum- In other words, take a look at the piece, decide what may be accepted as reliable or useful and what is not, and discard the rest. Take note—this is not by any means censorship. It is simply the absence of blind acceptance. This process takes time, but it's rather stupid to process information any other way. It requires a familiarity with cohabitation without benefit of marriage. The producer of the si gave as a reason that he was unc able with the use of the verse. O'Flaherty calls this censorship. First, the show did discuss the Censorship? In addition, I have no doubt th Judeo-Christian ethics made thei into the discussion—but the appr< ness of a fact-based forum for m< Critical viewing implies the acceptance o is presented to you only after analysis of a m of aspects of the information source — poi bias, brevity and/or incompleteness, ad infin viu.ous,sources of information, reducing the likelihood of personal bias. Also it demonstrates that nearly any informa­ tion has value, and by extension, that censoring any of it is foolhardy. Strike one, William. Mr. O'Flaherty then draws forth several examples to illustrate his point One deals with fellow conservative newspaper columnist Carl Thomas who was bumped from the TV show "Good Morning, America" for the use of a Bible verse in an argument decrying issues, by definition unabsolutisable.,s questionable at best. Discuss the overt behaviors of individuals on such sho*s and leave philosophical or theologie issues for the more effective forums appropriate to such topics.

That's funny...I could ^ sworn that it did come out. Since it was released despite the ufusalof said movie giants, this is dearly not censorship. And many small movie producers, like Spike Lee, Robert Townscnd or John Sayles, have proven tat the initial support of the major players isn't necessary in order to ichieve success. I haven't gone into O'Flaherty's implied failure of the capitalist system. This is represented by his assumption [hat the money we don't spend in support of TV advertisers or movie releases that displease us has no effect. Neither have I yet reminded Mr. O'Flaherty that having the courage to assimilate information that challenges our belief systems (read here Christian morality, etc.) is the only way to insure tat those systems hold water, nor that failure to do so implies the lack of faith, not the strength or it. I invite Mr. O'Flaherty to examine these issues in future columns, in the process providing both a vibrant, effective forum for intellectual debate, and an assurance that the concept he championed in his last column will not have been vainly set forth, undercut by his own presentation.

"The current caught it, and it floated away." According to Ellis his truck hit a tree before it could go into a nearby creek. "My truck is totaled."Thetruck was parked at College Place apartments. Ellis is not the only resident who woke up to the damage caused by Hugo's high winds and heavy rainfall. According to Physical Plant Director Bill Winkler, the ASU campus suffered significant ground damage. Winkler said that there was ex­ tensive breakage in the trees and some were blown over. He also said that the campus had suffered significant flood damage.

T-Shirts Banned In Class Tufts University students will be allowed to wear T-shirts with insulting or festive phrases on them in their dorm rooms and while walking through campus, dnot in classrooms, officials at the private Boston campus recently announced. Tufts became the third major university to limit students' free speech rights in Kent months. During the spring, both the universities of Wisconsin and Michigan ^pted rules to suspend or expel students who use certain words, generally those (suiting to minority students on their campuses. Tufts Dean of Students Bobbie Knable announced Tufts' restrictions in response jiT-shirt that critics called insulting to women. The shirts, created and marketed by Tufts student, sported 15 reasons "Why Beer Is Better Than Women At Tufts." Tufts officials initially placed the student, whose name has not been made public, ,pobation, but later dropped the sentence for fear it violated the student's First jyuendment rights. Knable, however, searched for a set of rules to deter "offensive" speech while uspecting students' free speech rights. "We really tried to narrow the definition of iffensive speech) to derogatory and demeaning," Knable said in announcing the new lie. "There are a lot of ideas that people will encounter on campuses in a diverse (immunity that will be offensive to them, and we are not trying to protect people from kis" Under the new rule, students can wear and say anything they want in"private" areas it their dorm rooms and in areas that cannot be controlled, like campus lawns. But i other areas like dorm lobbies and classrooms, students can be disciplined for tearing clothes like the beer T-shirt.

The trial is entering its fifth week and probably will continue until after the fae rests. According to Winkler, the university is most concerned about a sink hole in front of Legends. He said the hole resulted when the soil under the pavement in front of the student night club was washed downstream in the storm. "We don't know what the problems are exactly," Winkler said. "We just want people to stay away from that area." Winkler said it would be approximately two weeks before the major portion of the cleanup would be completed. But, he added, some of the cleanup will not be completed until next spring. He said that no significant water dam­ age had been sustained by any buildings. North Carolina. So far, the damage esti­ mate stands at $3.5 billion. Power is still out in much of Charlotte, the hardest hit city in North Carolina. Several television stations reported Fri­ day that close to 200,000 homes were without power in the Queen City. Au­ thorities say it may be up to two weeks before power is restored to some parts of the city with some estimates placing the power recovery at closer to a month. In areas such as Charlotte and along the coast of both Carolinas, price gouging continues to be a large problem. Accord­ ing to WBCY in Charlotte, gas has been reported in Charleston to sell for more than $4 per gallon and bags of ice are reportedly selling for $12.

Last Tuesday, Boone mayoral candi­ dates Craig Austin, Velma Burnley and Bill Rucker squared off in a debate hosted by ASU's SGA. One of the main topics of discussion was a referendum of liquor by the drink. Austin said he is in favor of such a referendum. He said that all candidates were questioned on their position con­ cerning the issue by "The Mountain Times." In response to the question posed by the publication Austin said, "I'm for it, Mr. Rucker is opposed to it and Mrs. Burnley says she is for whatever the people want to do." Austin justified his opinion by suggest­ ing that passage of a liquor by the drink referendum would "be a tremendous method of bringing revenue into this town without raising taxes." "We already have alcohol here"he said. "That's not the issue." He added that passage of the referendum would, in his opinion, "give us a greater measure of control over how alcohol is served." Rucker said that although he is against liquor by the drink, he would support a referendum on the issue. He said that in the beer in Boone vote, he voted against the referendum, "but I am definitely for the people's right to vote. This is some­ thing we should exercise very frequently." Rucker said he has talked to students and restaurant owners concerning their opinions on the referendum: "Most of them told me they wouldn't pay three Student aid slowed (CPS)—New, hastily imposed federal rules havepitched many campus financial aid offices into a crisis in recent weeks, dramatically slowing the processof deliv­ ering Stafford Loans to students, financial aid directors around the country said. The crisis could keep some students from getting their loans until after their tuition deadlines have passed, the direc­ tors added. The rules, designed to try to minimize the student loan default rate, require campuses to counsel students taking out their first Stafford Loan about how to repay the loan. "Some (students) have already been through this with their lender," Myers Greely, aid director at New Mexico State University,noted."Here'sonemoreround of bureaucratic paperwork." "I already pretty much knew all that they told me," said Daryl Fambrough, an NMSU freshman, after a counseling ses­ sion. Aid directors like Myers said they simply didn't have time to implement the rules efficiently. The announcement that the rule would be in place for this semes­ ter, instead of next spring or fall, as most assumed, was published in the Federal Register Aug. 24, leaving aid officials scrambling to find time and staffing to counsel students just as students began returning to school. Anticipated bottlenecks,where borrow­ ers are stuck without money to pay for food, books and tuition until they get their loan, which they can't do until they're properly counseled, haven't appeared, at least not yet. "There could be some delays (in paying tuition), but the university will take a pretty lenient posture," said LenthonClark, aid director at the University of Arkansas. Most schools have resorted to offering group sessions several times a day, using a video to warn students of their repay­ ment obligations and the consequences of defaulting. "This whole process is slowing down our personnel from giving other students help," Baylor University's David Bond said. Arkansas officialsdidn't even try to tag beginning borrowers. "It's almost impossible to identify new borrowers, so we're making everyone (who takesout aStafford Loan) go through it," Clark said. The counseling dictum is partof amultipronged attack, first unveiled June 1, aimed at punishing schools that do a bad job of collecting loans. Under the Stafford, or "guaranteed," loan program, students actually borrow money from banks, but the government promises to pay the banks if the students fail to repay their loans. As the default rate has grown, the gov­ ernment has taken enormous losses. This year alone, it will pay banks $1.8 billion to cover bad student loans, or about 37 cents for every dollarCongTess appropriated for student aid. Past efforts to get more students to repay their loans havehelped. On Aug. 10, the U.S. Department of Education, which oversees most federal education programs like Stafford Loans, reported the default rate fell four percent, to 17 percent, from 1987 to 1988. The command to counsel students grew from a belief that some students may default simply because they are unaware of their borrowing responsibilities. dollars and 50 cents or threedollars and75 cents for a shot of whiskey." Rucker said that he had the impression that those he talked to were not concerned with the issue and "it would not be any benefit to them to have liquor by the drink." Rucker said that those he had talked to expressed the feeling that a passage of such a referendum would benefit the res­ taurant owners and would bring revenue to the town. "But as far as they can see, it wouldn't be of any benefit to them." Rucker said that he felt that Boone needed to "season"a little bit more before passing liquor by the drink."In due season we may be ready for it," he said. "I think we need to season alittle longer with the beer and wine. There's a lot of problems we still have that we need to solve," he said. According to Rucker some hotel and motel owners are opposed to liquor by the drink. He said the reason for their opposi­ tion is "they don't have a restaurant." He said that there were only two major hotels in Boone that have restaurants. "They think the small restaurants would suffer, it would put them out of business," he said. Rucker said that a major effort had been made by the town to recruit small busi­ nesses. "There are small restaurant own­ ers that could not or would not promote liquor—it would be a hardship on them." SGA Rules Committee Chairman Corkey Collins asked Ruckerhow he could advocate denying Boone the revenue that would be generated if the liquor by the drink referendum were to be passed. Rucker responded by saying that hedid not know how much money passageof the referendum would generate."I don't know how many permits would be issued and how many (businesses) would qualify," he said. He added that in order to get a permit to serve liquor by the drink, the permit appli­ cants would have to follow set regula­ tions. "Everyone wouldn't qualify," he said. He said that the two major hotels and some of the larger restaurants would qual­ ify first and that it may take up to twoyears for die rest of the restaurants to qualify. "It may be a period of two or three years before (the referendum) would generate a substantial amount (of revenue)." "The amount it would bring in two, three or four years," he said, "would cost the town every penny it would make to enforce the regulations." He justified his statement by saying "it would take an ABC officer to visit these places every night" to make sure that the regulations and laws were not being violated. He added that there were stricter viola­ tions on liquor by the drink than there are on beer and wine. Burnley said that Austin "mis-stated" her position cn the question posed to her, as well as the other candidates, by "The Mountain Times." "The question I was asked was, 'Do you favor a referendum?"' she said."My answer was that I believe in the people's right for a referendum." She said that she would favor a referendum if proper procedures for having such a refer­ endum were followed. Burnley added that such a referendum was something "I would not initiate on my own." There are a lot of issues in this cam­ paign," Austin said in his closing address. "They all boil down to one simple way you are being treated as citizens at this time?" Austin said, "Things need to be done differently in this town," and added that there is room for improvement "Give mea chance. You can always get rid of me in two years." He said that the mayor had no power and if elected he would "make every effort to make (Boone) a better place to live." Ste Debate Pg. 2 Turn the page ...

Mayoral Candidate BUI Rucker in a recent interview said, '1 think everyone would agree that balancing equality of life with economic growth with minimum tax dollars is the most important issue we face today." Rucker also said he supports such is­ sues as protecting resources by recycling and maintaining clean air and water. Rucker said one way to accompolish this would be to protect the ASU sheds of fresh water from toxic waste. He said he supports improving trans­ portation by the addition of more fourlane roads, maintaining streets and adding more sidewalks. According to Rucker, his priorities also include filling up industrial parks and providing required services with mini­ mum tax rates. Rucker said he supports "elimination of double taxation' and hopes to give the citizens of Boone a clearer picture of city government. He said that the people need an honest, clean and open government." Rucker also stated tha: he would like to set up a program dealing with an inter­ departmental safety council. He said such a program would be concerned with the prevention of accidents. According to Rucker, this council would also include a safety committee to review all accidents and to clarify them as preventable or nonpreventable and to make available a train­ ing and CPR program to all employees. He also stated that he would like to see programs that protected the taxpayer's services first. "It is their money we are spending." Rucker said that he would like to see taxpayers get "more for their money." He also said that he feels Boone should council each quarter. Rucker also said that he would like to establish a committee consisting of ASU students , the chief of police and the citi­ zens of Boone. He said this committee would bring to the council reasons or suggested changes concerning the noise ordinance. Rucker said," The council doesn't have to accept these ideas but <i0 i IVs ing.

She said, "Had I not believe that, I would not have sought it." She said that she believes Boone needs strong leadership and that she has the experience necessary tqprovide that lead­ ership. Rucker said that he feels that the mayor should be a lot more than a presiding officer... He said that he believes the mayor should be "a builder, a goal setter, an organizer, an educator, a promoter, and act as a liaison between the council, the manager and the public." Rucker said that he has the dedication necessary to provide the needed services to the town as mayor. "Whoever you vote for on Oct. 10 is strictly between you and your conscious," hesaid. 'But I would encourageyou highly to get out and vote." give students a quality education I'm in favor of it." He also said that if a referendum for liquor by the drink comes before the coun­ cil, Boone will have a vote on it. According to Rucker, students are a major part of the community. "Even though we have problems, we have the best students anywhere. They do a lot of work in the community and we appreciate them." Rucker added, "My phone number is in the book, my door bell works and if I am at home, I will invite you in." organizer, an educator and acts as the liaison between the council, the city manager and the public."

Neither sleet, nor snow, nor whopping great hurricanes can stop them from bringing ASU the best start of the weekend possible. OK, the above may have been a little overdramatic, but it's true. Hurricane Hugo wasn't one of thoselittle rainshowers people like toget caughtin, and the Friday morning crew atWASU wasn'ttoo thrilled with it either. "Someone could get hurt just on account of not being smart," Jeff Piercey said. He is "Hal" every Friday morning, but during the week his job is Hugo! As I watched the news all day Thursday, I can see why Americans are considered some of the most mindless in the world. As we all know by low, Hurricane Hugo is the first storm of its kind to hit the Carolinas' coasts in ibout 40 years. Newspeople have been in Charleston since last night talking about everyone evacuating the city and surrounding islands. My question is why in the world they don't leave as well. Their response might be that something big will happen. You bet it will, buddy. The power is going to go out, and the wind is going to toss cars around like they were ping-pong balls. While watching all the confusion ling on at the coast, I found there are jjiree types of people that stay in places like Charleston when a hurricane hits. The first, naturally, are the reporters. They have to show you new camera ingles of flying sheet metal that you've never seen before. Of course this is a peat time for ratings because hurri­ canes are nice and trendy for this area, (lust wait...someone will try to sell you "I survived Hurricane Hugo" T-shirt if you get to the coast this weekend.) The other neat part about TV news hunicane coverage is when they visit pocery stores. Where else can you see panicking senior citizens rushing in droves to buy bread, bottled water, candles and canned veggies? But have you ever noticed they forget to buy peanut butter, Kool-Aid, matches for the candles and a can opener so they can get to the veggies? To all those people I just say, "Good luck, sun­ shine!" (I hope all you students stocked up on enough beer.) The other types of people that hang around the coast when a storm hits are your dummy looters. They just can't resist the attempt of a "five-finger discount" any time a coastal town becomes empty. Looters also like to jet on the TV once in a while, so when die storm hits big, the cameras don't just take pictures of bending trees and tying sheet metal, but of a looter trying dieir best to snag a nice wardrobe. The experienced and well-trained looter cannot just pick out a nice wardrobe *hile on the run, but one that fits as *ell. Most looters, however, find diemselves on the painful end of a Mlyclub. Finally, there's the group of people nmply known as dummies. As the ehonal Guard is ordering the last of e people on Soandso Island to evacuate, the dummies reply, "Nah, ®®i' I ve got to stay here and protect y Property. Besides, some reporter *ask me to go on TV just so I can students get when they win. A lucky caller must answer a multiple choice question to win the prize, but the duo aren't very picky about the answer given. The following Friday, the lucky lady, as the winners have traditionally been, gets breakfast delivered straight to her bed. "Last year, someone asked for a salad in the morning," Chancey said, "It's not my idea of breakfast food, but we'll cater to what the winner wants." Other routines the campus has come familiar with are the "top ten lists" and listener letters. "And I swear we do not write our own letters, no matter what the other morning shows say", Piercey said. Piercey is pleased by the popularity of directing thesports department at the radio station. "Chuck" is better known to most on campus as Todd Chancey, news direc­ tor at WASU. The duo has worked at WASU during their whole time at the university. Last year, Chuck was half of the Monday and Wednesday morning show along with now graduate Bill "Zack" Zadeits. The Friday morning spot was their preference, so they were given the chance to kick off the weekend in style. The "Chuck and Zack" spirit still remains in the program, but most of the skits and pranks have been created by Chancey and Piercey them­ selves. Oneoftheirmos'.popular contests is "Breakfast in Bed," and that's just what the lists. "Chancellor Thomas even stopped by two weeks ago to read his own list." Another special guest to the show is Wilma at the Gold Room. Wilma takes time from her job to tell a few homespun tales and legends, including the way mountain people believed warts could be removed. A new contest aired the past few weeks is the "Dormroom Decathlon" in which a certain caller or team is timed by the DJ's as the contestant does such things as slam a dresser drawer, turn on a hair dryer, and drop a book on the floor. The contest is run at least three times every morning, but on special occasions such as Hugo, the contest was played by seven different callers.

Beginning at 6 a.m., listen By JEFFTURNER Appalachian Sports Editor The Mountaineer Battalion of ASU ROTC has just named its new Battalion Commander and B attalion executive offi­ cer. Cadet Lt. Col. Joe Patterson was named the new commander while Cadet Major Lynn Wood was named the execu­ tive officer. "I want to build the ROTC program so that it will be respected by other students and faculty," Patterson said. He feels that the ROTC cadets should be respected across campus because they present them­ selves in a professional manner. Patterson received the job of com­ mander after he completed a full summer of training. First, Patterson went to Ft. Bragg, N.C., for six weeks of advanced leadership training session called Camp All-American. "The competitive challenge of advance camp drew 40 individuals together quickly. This experience taught me the value of working with people from different regions of the country," Patter­ son said. Most people come home after the six weeks of training, but Patterson went to Germany to participate in the Cadet Troop LeadershipTrainingprogram. TheCTLT program is designed to let cadets enter a regular Army unit and be placed into an officer's job. Patterson was one of only 150 cadets chosen to go overseas for this duty. "My experience in Germany dealing with a combat-ready unit proved to me that the ASU ROTC program has taught me what I need to know to lead a platoon in the regular Army,"Patterson added. He believes all cadets should participate in this program to find out what the real Army is all about. S ince Patterson is the cadet in charge of ROTC, he must make sure that highly intense training continues. "I want to ensure that training is such that cadets can go to advance camp and maintain the high standard that the Mountaineer Battalion has established over the past 20 years," Patterson said. But the goals of the new commander do not stop there; he also wants the cadets to be ready after they get commissioned. "I want to instill a sense of professionalism that they will carTy with them throughout their military careers," he said. Patterson believes his summer was well spent "I feel this summer will enhance my professional development in leader­ ship and prepare me for the demands that today's Army places on a newly commis­ sioned officer," Patterson said. In closing, Patterson reflected on how he will have a major effect on the new officers from the Mountaineers Battalion. "I am excited about this opportunity to lead and prepare the officers of tomor­ row's Army," Patterson added. The new executive officer, Lynn Wood, took a slightly differentroute in becoming the highest ranking female in the history of the Mountaineer Battalion. Wood's father is a career officer, and she has been around the military all of her life. "He really did not have anything to do with it He would have been happy with whatever profession I would have cho­ sen," Wood said. Like Patterson, Wood attended six weeks of advanced training at Ft. Bragg but then went in a totally different direc­ tion, attending Northern Warfare School in Alaska. "It is an orientation course teaching you different ways of survival in the cold. Wood feels one of the main goals of ROTC this year is to reach out better to the college campus. "Last year we did not do too many extra activities, and a lot of people got the wrong idea about ROTC," she said. Wood feels that the Mountaineer Bat­ talion trains its cadets well. "ASU has "I want to instill a sense of professionalism that they will carry with them throughout their miliiary careers." Cadet Lt. Col. Joe Patterson ASU ROTC "You learn ropes, a mountain phase and a glacier phase," Wood added. Walking on a glacier is no easy task according to Wood. "You have spikes in your boots to keep you from falling," she said. Not all of the course was hard work. According to Wood; "It was a great social school. We had some afternoons off to get to know everyone before the actual train­ ing began." done a lot to prepare their cadets for vance camp," Wood said. She also fe< major advantage ASU has is the abilit talk to the officers. "The cadre is \ open to the cadets, and all of them willing to help any cadet that needs hel any time," she added.

Dreams and future ambitions for Pier­ cey and Chancey include marketing their own "Chuck and Hal" clothing line along with reaching finding radio jobs in a large metropolitan market.

The Appetocfelap The Big Apple Road Race is scheduled for Oct. 7. This year, we want to encourage you to join the fun. In years past we have noticed that many first timers join the race without considering a few basic musts." Because of this we have had injuries or have had people who decide that "exercise is not for them." Therefore we will provide first time road racers with a few tips to help make the race both safe and enjoyable. Tips for First Time Road Racers DO: Enter the race if you are currently walking, jogging or running and have been doing so for at least six weeks. IX): Make sure you are physically able to complete the four miles. Talk with your physician about what you are planning to do. DO: Pre-registertosavemoney.Itcosts an additional dollar on race day. DO: Get a good night's sleep on Thurs­ day night. DO: Make sure you have a good pair of shoes that are made for running or walk­ ing. DON T: Begin training the week of the race. Running hard the week of the race will just make you tired on race day. DON'T: Run the race ifyou are a"couch potato." Instead, start training now for next year's race. Race Day Tips for The Big Apple Read Race 1. Eat at least three hours before the race and avoid greasy foods and milk or juice. You—and those around you—may beglad you followed this tip. 2. Drink plenty of water before and during the race. 3. Wear comfortableclothes. Dress with the knowledge that you will get wanner as you run or walk. What was comfortable at the start will probably be too warm as you get further into the race. 4. Arrive at the gym early enough to get your race number and warm up. Race numbers go on shirt fronts. Make sure your number is visible when you cross the finish line. The Grand Prize alone is worth 51,000 and the First Prize is $500. Other prizes include cash aw^ 8.

That's right, for (jy of you who have been away from joone and probably do not know the Cubs are in first place, the Charlotte Hornets will hold their varsity training ||Lp in Varsity Gym. The camp is scheduled for Oct. 6-10 On Oct. 8 Head Basketball Coach Dick Harter will speak as part of the Forum Series. That's right, the same people iho brought you Harry Reasoner will Sting Dick Harter to speak to ASU. Everyone will get to see their heroes And all of the people who think Muggsy Bogues is good can come see fa play. Although I do not think Bogues is good enough for the NBA. Think about it, a 5-foot-l player is mo short. Yeah, he may make the fans yell, but when it comes down to it the only reason he made the team is for thr. magic word—money. If you want to have a hero on the Hornets at least he should be one that you can look up to. Say for instance Kobert Reid. Reid is a minister as well good basketball player. He serves the community well around him. But like most people, I want J.R. erman) Reid to sign so I can see him . I think with a little work he could me a good player for the Hornets lead of the reason they drafted him; ferihe money he will draw and to keep the North Carolina fans happy. The player I look forward to seeing more than any other is Kurt (Superman) Rambis. This is a player who knows all ibout winning, since he played all of tee years with the L.A. Lakers. I •ant everyone to make sure they get a Me atone of the championship rings that he has. Another player that will be worth •itching is Rex Chapman.

Williams went back to pass on the play, however, he was pursued and fled to the end zone for a 14-7 halftime advantage. Freshman quarterback D.J.

ASU hosted High Point College at KiddBrewer Stadium last Wednesday night and sent the Panthers back home with a 30 loss. The Mountaineers launched into a lead in the beginning minutes of the game as they scored their first goal of the night. Being the first on the board to chalk up a point, ASU team members were full of energy and ready to roll. At 26:45 on the clock, junior Carlos Lee brought the ball downfield, passed to senior Brian Flynn 21:21 remaining in the half, scoring the second goal of the night. He was assisted by Andy Salandy. During the next three to seven minutes, Scott Griffith and Salandy each brought the ball downfield trying for a third goal. Unfortunately, the Panthers' goalie once again refused to let them score. ASU had another substitution at 11:40 as Rudi Schmoll entered and Griffith strolled to the sidelines. Seeing that the offense was hot, the Mountaineers re­ mained in control. As the clock ticked just under six minutes,John Bondhad a throwin to his teammates near the goal. As they tried to score, the ball bounced off the goal posts and went out of bounds. Struggling, the Panthers saw time running out, hut they couldn't stop ASU as the seconds ticked away on the clock. Soaked, the Mountaineers ended the night with a three goal victory over the Purple Panthers of High Point College. cannot people would like that City better than ,';i/n^0tlnson ^'yGym. et 1 UIIJIA w c 'new ' 8 me wrong, I think we need sym but I also think that ETSU how bad their gym is.

Hornets . 1IM w THE GREAT WESTERN Continued from Pg. 5 BO^NG Well instead of just sending out the notices and letting people find out about it, the university let people find out about it on their own. And what fun they are having with it. A radio station in Colum­ bia has written a song called "No More Louie, Louie." The song goes to the tune of the great Chuck Berry song"Roll Over, Beethoven." If the university had built a stadium that was halfway decent it would handle the noise. Next thing you kno w, USC will go in front of the NCAA to request that the new N.F.L. rule on crowd noise be used in college football. I guess I better tell you fhe real reason this happened. See South Carolina is so used to being in the news with the steroid scandal and all, they are startihg up stuff just to stay in the news. Well, that'sjust one more problem that Sparky will have to hear about. But re­ member hechose to leave, and we arc just happy with Jerry Moore and being a great football team.

Cancellation needed The administration should be commended on its decision to cancel classes Friday due to the inclement weather caused by Hurricane Hugo. Student safety should always be a top priority but is often overlooked. Too often, in the attempt to project to the media an image of ASU as a safe school, real safety concerns are disregarded. For instance, when there are two feet of snow on the ground, many classes are still held or are merely delayed. Certainly Friday's driving conditions were not safe. However, commuters driving on a sheet of ice would argue that those conditions are also unsafe. In many past instances, the administration has left the decision of whether or not to hold class to the individual professor. Not only is this an irresponsible, "pass-the-buck" type of attitude, but it also places an undue burden on the faculty. Professors should be sympathetic to individual student's problems whenever possible and make allowances for these stu­ dents, who could endanger their lives by trying to drive to the university. The administration has set a fine precedent for itself by showing concern for the students during Friday's storm. For the sake of all ASU students and personnel, as well as the university's image, it is hoped that this type of responsible and intelligent action will be continued. Airport security needs improvement Last Tuesday a UTA France airliner mysteriously exploded over the nation of Chad while en route to Paris from S udan. All 151 people aboard the plane were killed, including the wife of the American ambassador to Sudan. Preliminary investigations lead to the verdict that a bomb exploded inside the plane in mid-flight. Such a case is reasoned because the plane immedi­ ately disappeared from radar screens and lost radio contact—similar to the fateful December flight of Pan Am 103. Another incident involving Pan Am took place last week as the Federal Aviation Administration fined the airline for not operating proper security checkpoints, resulting in the deaths of all those aboard. Worldwide terroristactions should not bring Americans to completely fear international travel; rather, both the federal government and airlines that fly 'Mo, out of and within the United States must increase their security levels ® prevent disasters. Many ASU students will travel overseas during holidays, and some have opportunity to study overseas through the International Studies Office. Douglas International Airport in Charlotte offers non-stop flights daily to London, and plans are being made to include non-stop flights to Frankfurt, West Germany as well. In addition, Raleigh-Durham International Airport offers direct flights to Paris, making North Carolina a true gateway to the Western world. Security must be maintained at these two larger metropolitan ^Toits. Any terrorist would take full advantage of a weak link in the chain °f security; therefore, our security from both the public and private sector lust stay on alert to see our planes stay safe and intact while in flight. '' is imperative that an aggressive security policy be maintained by the Sovernment and by the airlines. Present technology and manpower can l*event a disaster which could possibly affect those close to the university COmmunity. Efforts must be taken to prevent future tragedies. THE FAR SIDE C 1983 Chronica Feature* 0*tnt>ut«j by Univvrsai Press Syndicate Kv. Would you go to an execution Rated GG for gory goodbye? Society gains nothing from implementing the death penalty. Though the jutifications of revenge, deterrence and cost have frequently been used in its defense, none of these fantasies hold up under scrutiny. The least referred to, yet most adhered to, justification for capital punishment is retribution. Some people will say if a person takes another person's life, then that person should forfeit his or her own life.Others will back this up with biblical passages which support it. Retribution assumes it is good to become violent in reaction to violence (especially when that violence is carried out by someone else). The Bible states "An eye for an eye...."Is being provoked into destructive aggres­ sion ever a good idea? When using ancient dogma to justify our animal desires, we must not selectively pick passages which agree with our whims. When Christians, or anybody else for that matter, quote the Bible to substantiate their support for execu­ tions, they are bypassing the doctrine their faith is based upon. Though Jesus came to fulfill the prophesies of the Old Testament, he discarded many of its societal cus­ toms. "An eye for an eye" became "turn the other cheek." Jesus taught (tried to teach) pacifism as a means of dealing with violence. If he had not practiced what he preached so well, he would not be so well remembered today. So, please don't use the Bible to justify support for state instituted murder. Such ultimate retribution should be handled by the "Big Judge in the Sky"—if you believe in Him. I tend to think of executioners as instruments of the state. Does anyone think of them as instruments of God? Vengeance is whose? Some will say, "God's will or not, murderers should fry." Though they are just as wrong, at least they do not misrepresent Christian doctrine to make their point. The most popularly spoken support for capital punish­ ment is its deterrent effect on violent crime. After all, once a murderer is dead, he can no longer present a threat to society. This is a dangerous assumption. Along with the increase in executions, statistics show violent crime rates are rising also. It may be that people who identify with the executed murderers (or innocents) become vio­ lent in retaliation to state-supported violence. Our primitive survival rationales tell us the best way to deal with violence is with stronger violence—Just ask Thag how he became chief of his Stone Age tribe. This, naturally, should make those with aggressive natures walk a straight line. It doesn't though. Every time someone tries to scare me into submission, I simply become more aggressive until I either prevail or Since most convicts are not earning very good wages on the "gravel circuit," the costs of their many trials is high, averaging around$4 million persentence which the state must virtually always pay. We, as taxpayers, can never expect a return on this investment. Usually, the only time the appeal process is shortened is when, during one of the many trials, the court com­ mutes the sentence to life imprisonment without parole. An automatic sentence of life without parole would deter these criminals from ever committing another crime in society and save millions of dollars per case in tax dollars. Michael Boykin am beaten to a pulp. I know not everyone has thesedrives, but many do. These are the people who will never give over to force. These are the people who must be under­ stood before they do something as rash as murder in an effort to prevail in perceivably dangerous situations. Our failure to try to understand our fellow man will perpetuate this cycle of increased violence. Everyone wants to succeed; some do not have normal channels to work in, though. So, opening channels to everyone be­ fore they resort to murder will have a greater deterrent effect on murder than execution. Those proponents of capital punishment who are immune to reason will fall back on another justification for the continued use of execution, the cost factor. It is well known that the incarceration of a person for his or her natural life will cost a lot of money. But these same people fail to realize the exorbitant costs of sentencing a person to death. At $20,000 a year for 40 years (the average lifespan of a convict behind bars), the cost of confinement comes to a whopping $80,000 per inmate. This is arguably a lot of money to spend on a person who has heinously taken another's life. "Why can we just 'off all of them?"some will ask. "Then money won't be an issue." Wrong. Our much-esteemedConsitution allows for 11 levels of appeals for a sentence of death. Some would like to see murderers' rights thrown out the window, how­ ever, these Consitutional rights also protect those unfor­ tunate individuals who are wrongly accused of such a serious crime, whether partially or totally innocent. Evidently, our forefathers thought it was important to sacrifice time and money to preserve lives such as these. We should all be proud of this concern for human existence present in the blueprint of our country. Such concern has its monetary costs, though. Though the Constitution attempts to protect innocents from irreparable harm, sometimes it fails to do so. Once a person has been killed by execution, future findings of innocence are as immaterial as the dead's ghost. Though we can amend the flaws in our Constitution, we cannot amend the wrong execution of an innocent person. Since the turn of the century, there have been over 300 convictions overturned posthumously (meaning the innocents had already been fried, choked, shot, injected or suffocated). I guess there is much less flack given to the criminal justice system when the principal person wronged is not present to make any noise about injustices incurred. Finally, the Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual punishment" in any form. Every generation defines it in different ways. However, torture is one specifically mentioned aspect of "cruel and unusual punishment." There may be less torturous means of applying the death penalty, but anyone on death row is bound to live hell on earth while awaiting the chair, the needle, the noose, the squad, the injection, the chamber. I cannot think of any way this cruelty betters society. If we perpetuate the lie that this somehow eases the pain we feel when someone is unjustly taken from us, then we will never be able to put past ignorance behind us and advance beyond the realm of animalistic revenge. If we, as Homo sapiens, cannot end this desire for violent retribution, how can we ever rid our culture of murderous tendencies. A double standard exists when it is suppos­ edly all right for the state to carry out genocide, while it is a death-invoking crime for individuals to do so. Though I have shown the high monetary costs of capitalpunishment, there-is a higher cost.This cost is the sacrifice of human morality and dignity for mere human sacrifice. If we, united, cannot stop murder, what kind of message are we sending to our children? What kind of adults result from this indoctrination? What kind of future do they have? I wonder. When fame means more than focus It is time to raise the bottom line To the Editor: In response to the Sept. 19 editorial "Reasoner: Too Costly?", I certainly agree that $17,000 plus is an exorbitant amount to pay someone to speak on our campus for 30 minutes. But in defense of the administration, I do not believe that the university considers a "big name" to be more important than a speaker who has something important and relevant to say. The university has brought dozens of knowledgeable and interesting speakers to campus, speakers who have great in­ sight into some of the most crucial issues facing our world today, speakers who do notcharge a fortune for their services, but who are not well-known, only to have that speaker look out upon a dismally small audience. Somewhere down the line, fame has become associated with By GARY LARSON knowledge and intellect and relevance. Certainly Mr. Reasoner cannot be blamed for charging what people will pay. Nor can he be blamed if his speech was not the inspiring and thought-pro­ voking presentation we hoped for. After felt the need to bring a famous, "big name" speaker for the convocation, it is because that is what students come out for. In the past several years, the Forum Series has brought to campus some of the "...but I have seen from experience that no mat­ ter how good a speaker is, the majority of students will not turn out unless the person is a star. " / Sharon Trivette Office of Cultural Affairs all, he has made his reputation not for presenting his views and insights, but for reporting other's. If our university has most insightful and intelligent speakers in the country, speaking on some of the most compelling and timely topics. Dr. Paul Erlich, one of the foremost experts on population growth and species extinc­ tion, as well as on the effects of nuclear war, was at Appalachian last April, when he spoke to approximately 300 people in Farthing Auditorium.Imagine how empty that 1,800-seat facility musthave looked! Also last year, Mitch Snyder spoke on the needs of the homeless, Maria Hanson talked about victim's rights and David Brown, from the Cousteau Society, dis­ cussed the threats to our global oceans. All of these speakers faced less than 600 people. There have been presentations by experts on topics such as terrorism, the war on drugs and sexism in advertising. In fact, several fairly well-known (though probably not considered "famous") speak­ ers have come to Appalachian and fared only slightly better in terms of audience size. Journalist P.J. O'Rourke and activ­ ist Abby Hoffman spoke before about 800 people while author Alex Haley commanded an audience of only about 1,000. A student member on our Forum Se­ ries Committee illustrated the problems of the draw of famous speakers versus articulate and intelligent speakers best for me.While looking through a brochure from an agency representing speakers currendy on tour, she picked out a U.S. Olympic gymnast who has decided to cash in on his athletic achievements by going on the lecture circuit. She was very excited and suggested that we bring him to Appalachian. When I asked her why, she replied, "Because I want to meet someone famous." I don't mean to imply that all students here are shallow and easily impressed, but I have seen from experience that no matter how good a speaker is, the major­ ity of students will not turn out unless the person is a star. I hope that because of students' dissat­ isfaction with Harry Reasoner, they will be more willing to give lesser-known speakers a chance, and realize that fa­ mous people are not necessarily interest­ ing or inspiring. College is meant to be a mind-broadening experience and Appa­ lachian provides guest speakers to help fulfill that expectation. Speakers are coming to campus this year discussing topics ranging from global warming and air quality to South American politics to Malcolm X, among others. Forum Series brochures detailing this year's speakers have been placed around campus. I en­ courage you to pick one up and explore the possibilities available.

Boone mayoral candidates Craig Austin, Velma Burnley and Bill Rucker addressed the issues facing their campaigns at Tues­ day night's SGA Senate meeting. The two main topics of discussion were the noise ordinance and liquor by the drink. Austin said he believes the circum­ stances surrounding the noise ordinance make it a difficult problem to solve. "(Students) have the right and the need to blow off somesteam on the weekends," he said."Also, the local citizens do have the right and the need to go to bed and get a good night's sleep whenever they so choose....Sometimes those two rights are going to come into conflict." Austin said that no single law could be written to solve the problem the town is now facing over the current noise ordi­ nance. "No one law is ever going to settle it one way or the other, " he said. He added that in order to solve the problem, "It's going to take a continuing relationship between the town and the campus...to help make this a liveable community for everyone." Burnley responded to a question posed by SGA Senator Corky Collins asking her position on the noise ordinance by ex­ plaining that the present ordinance was not the town'soriginal ordinance. Burnley said the town got the current ordinance from their lawyer who modeled it after the town of Blowing Rock's ordinance. "It was not directly attacking the Appa­ lachian students," Burnley said. "It's the type of ordinance where a lot of our local citizens think it isn't strong enough. It's the type of ordinance you (the students) feel is too stringent." Bumley added, "There must be some­ thing fair about the ordinance." She calls the current ordinance a "workable ordi­ nance" and says the ordinance has al­ lowed for "some control for the person New dorms possible By CHANDRA PETTY who is giving the party to keep people from crashing their party."She added that the ordinance was a question of safety as well as of noise in the neighborhoods. Bumley said the ordinance was work­ ing in resort towns and called it a "fair ordinance." She said that she wasopposed to turning the ordinance over to a group for total revision. "It does respect the rights of the neighborhoods as well as those of the school." Boone Mayoral candidates Craig Austin, Velma Burnley and Bill Rucker addressed the issues facing their campaigns at Tuesday night's SGA Senate meeting. SGA Senator Joe Panzer questioned Bumley concerning the chain of events surrounding a petition given to the town council last year which was rejected dur­ ing spring break. Panzer asked why Bumley, when he approached her last year concerning the decision to reject the petiton, had told him that there were two constituencies in the town. Appalachian Staff Writer According to Director of Auxiliary Services Lynda Slate, ASU plans to build new residence halls "due to higher enroll­ ment and overcrowding." Slate said it has been several years since new residence halls have been built and student growth demands more living space. Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette stated that the school needs to employ an architect. "We will ap­ proach finding an architect by public advertisement to give everyone an equal chance." According toTrivette, a committeewill take four to six weeks to decide on an architect. Trivette said the architect will begin to establish a site for the new build­ ing and preliminary construction costs. Further information should be out later this fall with more exact details. Slate said," A committee made up of staff and students will help develop the new facilities and choose an architect." Residence Life staff will work on this committee. SGA is currently selecting and appointing students, and volunteers are strongly urged to let SG^, know i f they are interested. After researching trends from other schools. Slate said the university has decided that students want more living space than the typical two-person rooms offer. A proposal of suites, with a living area, is being looked into. She added that ASU students and the administration tend to agree with this idea. Thecostof the project will be an impor­ tant factor in determining the type of facil­ ity to be built. She added that funding for the project will come from student hous­ ing fees. According to Slate, students who live on campus will be paying for the new residence facility. She said state funding would not be available for the project. Hoey Hall resident Nicole Mabe said," If you want the space, you have to pay for it." White Hall resident Kelly Healy said she is more than willing to pay for new housing. "There's no choice if I am able to stay on campus." Trivette said he believes ASU has be­ come a "commuter" campus. According to him only 40 percent of the student body is currently living on campus. "With the building of new halls, it is hoped that at least 50 percent of the students will live on campus," he said. In the Sept. 1 meeting of the ASU Board of Trustees, Business Affairs Committee Chairman Seby Jones said that 400 additional beds are being considered. According to a study on residential re­ quirements given to the board by the committee, there has been a major cut­ back in residence hall construction on campus due to diminishing funds. The study stated, "After looking at several alternatives, it does appear that additional housing on our campus will cost some­ where between $17,000 and $20,000 per space." "The building of new housing facilities is not a reaction to the overcrowding this year," Slate said, "but a good indicator that new dorms need to be built." In a random telephone poll of on-campus students, most said they believe that new dorms would have prevented the overcrowding this year. "We need new dorms desperately, " Healy said. pretty good." He said that no one seemed to have any problems with the first ordi­ nance and that the town was able to take care of any problems generated by it. He said that only in the last year or two have the problems with the ordinance begun to elevate and that the change in the ordinance could be related to the cause of the problems. Rucker said that the noise deemed by the town as excessive is not created solely Burnley responded by saying: "There are people who work and have to get up early in the morning and go to early shifts to work. There are people who are elderly and who are sick." She added that instead of seeing the town as being divided into "Boone residents and ASU students," we all need to work together and respect each other's rights. "The constituency that I am talking about is that even though we have one faction that somehow objects to the ordinance, we have others that think per­ haps we should strengthen it." She added that the noise ordinance was "just a matter of respecting each other's rights and privileges." Rucker said that he was one of the council members who drew up the first noise ordinance and felt that "it worked by students. "The big crowds coming in from outside of the city of Boone are not students that are crashing in on these par­ ties and causing a hazard." Rucker suggests a continuing educa­ tion program for the students, citizens and the town council concerning theordinance. "Every two years you've got a new coun­ cil coming in that is not familiar with the noise ordinance—you've got the new students and they're not familiar with it. This is going to create a problem until they both get familiar with the law and I think that once we do it (familiarize them with the law), they will all be able to respect the law." Rucker said this would take coopera­ tion between the council and the students and that a committee which will work with the chief of police should be ap­ pointed to study the ordinance. He said that the committee's findings should be taken to the council."It doesn't mean that the council should adopt every­ thing that they represent 100 percent," Rucker said. "There may be something in this that comes before this committee tliat they can use that will be a benefit to the relationship in the town of Boone." Turn the page ... Bennett takes the war on drugs to campuses 2 Wake up to the "Mike and Mark" show 3 If it's on stage, it's covered this week 5 Mountaineers to face the Dukes 7 Golden rule/golden calf: which do you buy? 9 �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1989 Drug Czar Bennett conies to campuses (PPSt D :J /-> (CPS)—Following President George Bush s declaration of a "war on drugs," ^ illiam Bennett, Bush's "drug czar," threatened to cut off financial aid to stu­ dents who go to colleges that don't have "tough" anti-drug policies. Concerns about students' privacy as well as a sheer shortage of campus man­ power led some observers to believe a big national crackdown on student drug users probably won't happen in the near future. Colleges already have anti-drug pro­ grams in place. Bennett said he wants them stiffened. Bennett defined "tough" as a progam like the one in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, where schools expel any stu­ dents caught selling drugs. Students caught using an illegal substance are suspended, and then turned over to the police. Bennett said the goal of the program was to pre­ vent straightstudents from slipping"down _ .1- a slippery slope of drug use" and, for others, "to get them to stop." In order to get federal college loans and grants, students already have to sign a statement that they don't or won't use illicit drugs.Their school officials already are required to have anti-drug "programs" in place. The Department of Education, which oversees most federal college programs, has few formal rules for what constitutes an acceptable "anti-drug program." The definition of an acceptable program was so loose when Bennett rushed the require­ ment into law in 1987 that Ron Bucknam, then the Department of Education's drug prevention director, quipped that "a school's (anti-drug) program could con­ sist of a college dean standing on the campus quad at midnight shouting 'Don't do drugs' if that's what the college wants." In April, an anonymous "speechwriter" further confused the definition of just how the federal government wanted colleges to enforce anti-drug rules by inserting in a scheduled speech by current Education Secretary Lauro Cavazos a proposal to have students surreptitiously inform the government if their classmates were using drugs. Cavazos quickly backed off the pro­ posal before delivering the speech but not before the prepared text had been released to the press. Bennett's proposal to expel certain students would also pose legal problems for campuses, some observers said. Would students accused of selling drugs on campus be expelled even before they go to trial in the years tutw UVUIJ ututbu. J —~ ^ after being arrested? Would astudent who used marijuana suffer the same penalty as one who sold crack? North Dakota State University already has rules to prohibit drugs and alcohol on campus," said Nona Wood of NDSU s student affairs office. Wood added that penalties depend on the severity of the offense, and may range all the way from warning to expulsion. "We've kicked students out of school for drug use," Montana University Sys­ tem Legal Counselor Joan Newman said. "However, they wouldn't be expelled from school before (getting) due process." American Civil Liberties Union Direc­ tor Ira Glasser called Bennett's ideas "counterproductive and cynical" propos­ als that "attempt to fool the public into believing that prohibition can work, when all the evidence shows that it cannot."

According to Andy Franks, vice president of the club: "We are overjoyed that the sport has come together like it has. Last March the team was only a dream in the hearts and minds of a few displaced lacrosse players, but now it is a fantastic reality." The Mountaineers will take to the field against UNC Charlotte. Another organ­ izer, Bob Cole, said, "This game will be particularly interesting because it will be the first game ever played for both teams." Beginner David Parks, a new player on the club,said," I used to watch lacrosse on television, but it wasn't until I actually got to play that I discovered how addictive the sport really is." Since there aren't many athletes at ASU who have played lacrosse, the team is relying on beginners to leam the sport and build the team. A spokes­ man from the team commented on how well the beginners have learned to play and have strengthened the team. A spokesman said: "Saturday will be the culmination of a lot of work and effort. Win or lose I'm sure both teams will have a good time and enjoy the game."

I'm sure everyone has fond memories about the car they •inherited," but nobody else's car could compare to mine. Somewhere in the gnats of legend and history lies the uleof'The Green Death." It was a 1568 Plymouth Barracuda my mum bought while she was single, and as marriage and two very hellish children mtered her life, the Death was used as be official family car. In its day, the car was popular for stock car racing, but since mum was never a racer, she bought the smallest engine that came with it. The car had so much empty space under the hood, »e packed it full of suitcases when we went on vacations. Since she also lived up North when she bought it, she didn't believe she'd need a car with an air tonditioner, which we all would later regret as we drove through Death 'alley when I was around seven. Oh 1, when you turn 16, a car is a car as j as it gets you from point A to oint B without stalling too often. I didn't complain too much since it actually had a bit of charm to it. Of course before people get the hance to cruise in their first car, they ave to learn how to drive. My dad has i be the worst passenger in the world, to having his son behind the wheel I ertainly didn't lower his heart rate. I ly favorite memory is driving back to I ty house, from somewhere, and he I was in the passenger seat saying "Slow ^ lown, Shawn. Slow down." I guess I wsn t slowing down fast enough, raause his requests turned to demands "id then changed to flat-out orders. B looking "I told you to SLOW DOWN!" "I AM SLOWING DOWN, DAD!" Now my dad's first rule behind the "heel is to have a good attitude. Not laying "Yes, sir" and also not slowing town to about two inches an hour does not register in his brain as a good attitude, so he grabbed the wheel and drove the last five blocks before e reached home. Ever since then, he just puts a bag over his head when I drive. Another memory that is usually synonymous with the first car is the ret wreck. I found out very early that ave a hard time with vehicles that are "8 and yellow.

It's hotter than your morning coffee." Monday mornings aren't the bright spot in anyone's week, but imagine waking up at 5:30 just to entertain the ASU and Boone community. What incentive is there in waking up so early just to go on theair? "You get girls calling you up, that's why. Besides, morningtime is prime time on the radio and we're cer­ tainly at our prime then." Those are some of the timely thoughts of Chuck Scruggs, better known to local radio listeners as "Mike" from the "Mike and Mark" show. "Mark" is senior Mark Yarbro, and they start off the day at WASU at 6 every Monday and Wednesday morning. Both are communications majors who want to begin their radio careers on the right track, so they are getting their hands-on experi­ ence with the campus station. Getting started in the morning is hard for everyone. Scruggs and Yarbro are not alone. Scruggs said: "It takes the first cup of coffee an hour to work, but by 7 o'clock we're really rolling. Mark leaves at 9:00 to go to class, so I take it over for the most part for the next hour. By then I get a little tired, but it's not so bad." Just in case anyone on campus hasn't heard the WAS U morning shows this year. the schedule begins with: Mike and Mark every Monday and Wednesday. Kevin Cleveland and Tony Peters bring the rock'n'roll home every Tuesday and Thursday morning with their "Rude Awakening" program. The weekend begins with Chuck and Hal in charge of the Friday morning shift. Fighting for a larger share of the listening audience is tough and a competitive edge is needed. For example, a contest for a dozen donuts was run on the "Mike and Mark" show in the form of a multiple choice question like this: "What is the number one excuse used around ASU for not going to class? Is it... A) "I thought it was Thursday morning and I just couldn't stand another Rude Awakening." B) "I had my clock radio turned off be­ cause I feared that Chuck and Hal were going to be on the air.", or C) "I was listening to "Mike and Mark" and since it sounded so good, Ididn't want to leave my radio." All the morning shows try their best to insult each other, but Scruggs made it clear that all of it is in the spirit of fun. "Everyone takes it all in stride. In fact, it helps, because all the morning shows try their best not only to outdo each other, but be funnier in general," Scruggs said. Of course, WASU plays the best and latest in rock'n'roll all day, but as many of the morning songs as possible are requests from the students and townspeople. Scruggs said, "We like to play double shots and so far the response for those have been good. We try to play as many as possible." For those who are unaware what a "double shot" is, it is when the DJ plays back-to-back songs by the same artist. According to Scruggs, the response to the show and to the music has been favorable, yet the share of negative calls and comments find their way to them. "You just have to take it as it comes since it's part of the job," he said. Scruggs said there is nothing better than when a young lady calls up the station to tell them they are doing a good job..."The ladies call us more than any other morning show. I guess they have class." Scott Kleban has the position which Mike and Mark jokingly call "the intern," but he'd rather consider himself "theforce behind the force." Kleban helps the morn­ ing jocks by getting all the records from the shelves, but more importantly, helps them with ideas for that morning's show along with future ones. "I do the behindthe-scenes work, but it's not bad at all. Since I get to help plan the show, it makes the job much better. Besides, Mike and Mark are the best morning people to work with here." Kleban said, "When Mark leaves for class at 9 o'clock, things get a little more active because there's more to do and one less person to do it, but we all take it in stride." By SHAWN O'NEAL Appalachian El Cetera Editor and JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor It has been over two years since the night of ASU student Jabe Hardee's mur­ der. Since February 1988, Jon Eric Clemmer has been imprisoned after being convicted for second degree murder. The night of July 11, 1987 started as any other summer night when students gathered at the Pi Kappa Phi house for a party. Just before 3 a.m. Hardee was killed by Clemmer with a .22 caliber handgun, after a fight at the party. Witnesses to the shooting said that Clemmer and his friend had crashed the party and were asked to leave. Before leaving, they got in a fight with fraternity members over apparently harassing some of the women at the party. After the fight Clemmer and his friend returned to their car. Clemmer came back from the vehicle with the gun in his hand, aimed it at Hardee and shouted: "Freeze. Boone Vice — up against the car." Wit­ nesses recalled hearing several shots. But it only took one to end Hardee's life. Amy Bettge, who was dating Hardee at the time, said that Clemmer held the gun in both hands, aimed at Hardee and fired the gun. Hardee was shot in the face and immediately slumped to the ground. Clemmer and his accomplice then fled the scene in a late model Corvette. As they were leaving the scene, a Boone police officer saw their car speed west on U.S. 421 and immediately gave chase. Upon being stopped, Clemmer was charged withcarrying aconcealed weapon and the accomplice was charged with driving while impaired and carrying a concealed weapon. The officer was informed by the police radio of the two men's possible involve­ ment with a shooting. At that point Clemmer and his friend were arrested and taken to Watauga County Jail and held without bond. Clemmer's trial was set to open on Monday, Jan. 25,1989, but defense attor­ neys tried, unsuccessfully, to have the case moved to another location stating that an unbiased jury could not be selected if the case was tried in Boone. After all jury members were selected, opening arguments began on Jan. 29. The first witness for the prosecution was a friend of Hardee's who said that Clemmer and his friend had been making advances at the women who were at the party. The witness said that he had fought with Clemmer's friend. Defense attorneys claimed that Clemmer only fired at Hardee because he mistook Hardee for the man with whom he had fought. In the course of the trial Clemmer said, "I've got a bad temper and when I lose it, sometimes I don't always remember what I do." One witness to the murder said that she had climbed into Hardee's jeep and had turned around to talk to one of Hardee's friends about the fight he had just had. She said that she heard the words: "Boone police! Freeze!" and turned around to see Clemmer with a gun in his hands.She said he was aiming at Hardee. The witness then said that she heard Hardee ask Clemmer if he was for real. According to her testimony, she then ducked down in the floor of the jeep and when she got back up saw Hardee on the ground with blood on his head. In the trial Clemmer testified that he did not aim at Hardee but at thecrowd that had gathered. He said that he did remember saying something but could not remember exactly what. Clemmer then said that he had looked around and the gun went off in his hands. "I looked at the gun because I could not believe it had fired. I was just stunned that the gun fired." After the jury deliberated for less than four hours they found Clemmer's friend not guilty but charged Clemmer with second degree murder. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison. According to Bettge, 15 years is the minimum sentence for a second degree murder. She added that Clemmer is cur­ rently working at the same job he held prior to the murder and is only confined to prison at night. Clemmer's parole has been tentatively approved for March of 1990, 25 months after he received his conviction. Bettge said that most people did not know the events that occurred at the time of the murder."Most people are under the impression that it was a shot fired into a crowd, and it wasn't. (Clemmer) took deliberate aim and fired the gun, even though he says it was an accident." Bettge said that she was shocked to leant that Clemmer was being considered for parole."I didn't even know that he was up for parole. It just strikes me as strange that armed robbery is a mandatory seven year sentence with no parole, and if you commit murder you can get out in 25 months. MBi busy road A baby ip y about Scruggs graduates in December, so Yarbro and Kleban plan to work together next semester. "The way I look at my future, it's Boone today and I'll take over die world tomorrow," Scruggs prophe­ sied. He said he might as well do that instead of "getting himself some," play­ ing on the "Chuck and Hal" slogan. "Besides, I've got enough already," Scruggs said.

Bettge accompanied Hardee's mother and the cunent Pi Kappa Phi President Karl Kemppancn to a hearing before the parole board Tuesday. She said that nei­ ther she nor Mrs. Hardee believed that Clemmer's parole would be granted. "I'll be real surprised if he does get paroled." "It was really devastating because (Hardee) was just a wonderful person," Bettge said. "He was the kind of person who made everyone around him feel good about themselves. He was happy all the time." "It just wasn't fair,"she added."It seems so unfair, and it still seems like something that isn t real, that it didn'treally happen." "I miss Jabe terribly. Everyone does. We still do." Bettge said, "It still feels strange without him there." Bettge said that she would like to ask Hardee's killer only one question. "I just want to know why. But I don't even think he knows that." She said: "It's an injustice. Jabe's life was worth more than a two year prison sentence." Boone has new problem Homeless wander By JAMIE GOODMAN Appalachian Staff Writer In August, Boone's only shelter for the homeless received its 1,000th customer, showing what a growing problem homelessness is in Watauga County. "It's a bad situation right now. It's a lot worse than people think," acting director of Boone's Hospitality House, Fred Dodson said. Steven CarTeker, the pastor of First Baptist Church in Boone said he esti­ mates that there are 25 street people in Boone. Joan Chater of the Watauga County Hunger Coalition said that themajority of Boone's homeless are the "hidden poor." These are the people who sleep in cars or on a friend's couch. Chater said that one man slept in a sleeping bag in front of the downtown Winn-Dixie.In the winter time, many people would travel "from all-night restaurant to all-night restaurant," "The main contributor to homelessness in Boone is rent." Dodson said. There is only one low-income housing complex in the Boone area, which is the government subsidised Meadow Hills Apartments. One-third of the residents in Meadow Hills are students at ASU. The minimum acceptable income for appli­ cants at the complex is $10,000 a year. Most of the homeless, however, have no steady income. "These people really would like to work. Most of them unfortunately have­ n't graduated from high school," Chater said. Dodson said that contrary to popular belief, these people aren't lazy. Learning deficiencies, drug problems and emo­ tional problems contribute to this lack of education. Chater said that for people who have children and receive their GED, she coun­ sels them to not get a job. With a mini­ mum-wage job, a person cannot make enough money to support their child.The minimum cost for child care in Watauga County is $160 a month for each child. The program that many poor people are on is Aid For Dependent Children (AFDC). Chater said the most popula*- miscon­ ception of this program is that these people are living lazily on the money received through this program. However, there is a set maximum on the amountof money a family can collect, regardless of the number of children they have. The AFDC does not provide medical care for the children. For example, there is only one dentist in the Boone area who will take the AFDC third party check. Another way the homeless try to sur­ vive is on food stamps. Charlene Canter, a Watauga County woman who utilizes both AFDC and the stamps, said the worst part about the food stamps is that, "They set up your food stamps on income from two months ago." These people really would like to work. Most of them, unfortunately, haven't graduated from high school. The only low income child care in Watauga County is a program called Title T wenty. The rates per child are based on a sliding scale, or on income and family size. The families involved pay anywhere from nothing to $20. The state limits the number of children allowed, and there is currently a 13-month waiting list. For the children who cannot receive child care, the future looks bleak. Dodson said "The only thing these children will experience is failure." Dodson also said there has been a big increase in homeless families in the Boone area. "Five years ago, there was almost no problem at all," Chater said. "The prob­ lem is growing." �THE APPALACHIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1989 XWFS ' JEWELRY OUTLET MILLION DOLLAR GOLD SALE TWO DAYS ONLY!

Alas, the very development of the music that made it a purer, more intellectually stimulating form'also took some of the life and most 0[ the fans out of it. The scene for American jazz (and I'm referring here to "real" jazz, not this Velveeta moodmusic called "contemporary" jazz,) was bleak for a long time; three decades, roughly- Then, the famous black pianist Ellis Marsalis' two best-known progeny started making the family name known outside of their home turf in New Orleans, and, well, four-handedly lifted jazz into the 80s. Wynton, a trumpet player, and Branford, a saxophonist, play interest­ ingly opposite roles in the revitalization of the only truly American art form. Wynton quickly took on the demeanor of studious, erudite defender of the 'We-don't-talk-we-just-play-jazz" faith. Meanwhile, the hammy Branford, through movie roles and popular-music collaborations, worked to bring new fans into the jazz fold. But Wynton is quite harshly intellectual—one might even say technocratic—about his playing, and Branford seems taken by both a feeling of unsettledness in his attitude and a bit of unevenness in his performances. In other words, although they are Doth gifted artists, neither Wynton nor Branford offers what might serve to push jazz back into becoming the popular form it once was - a synthesis of thetwo-the true entertainer. No one else on the national scene really comes close •except, perhaps, for another Marsalis protege, pianist Harry Connick, Jr. No, he's not a son. And no, he's not black. He's quite white, in fact. Now 21, he has finished a run at the Algonquin in New York, considered the venue for an up-and-coming torch and jazzer. He has three albums out, including the soundtrack for "When Harry Met Sally..." He has a hit video ® VH-1. The press idolizes him. After listening to his albums, I've concluded •hat, frankly, there's not a performer his >ge that can touch him anywhere in the world. Reggae. To some the word itself con­ jures up visions of a steel band beat and Jamaican nights. Well, A.P.P.S. Stage Shows will be bringing all that to Legends on Sept. 21 with the reggae band I-Tal. The seven-member band was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1978. Since then, ITal has captivated audiences in 15 states and Canada, and has acquired national acclaim by opening for such acts as Jimmy Cliff, Average White Band, Steel Pulse, and Toots and the Maytals. The band's founder, guitarist and vocalist, Dave Smeltz, will be joined on stage by percus­ sionist Doc Smith, drummer Keith McFarren, guitarist Cayme Brown, bassist-vo­ calist Phil Myncks, saxophonist-flutist Wayne Preston, and percussionist George Gordon. I-Tal's reggae is a blend of Cuban, African and Jamaican music.The particu­ lar sound is created with rhythm, lead and electric bass guitars. Throw in some saxo­ phone, both alto and tenor, flute, timbales, drums, gourds, chimes, whistles, conga drums and special effects to do it right. There are no keyboards, but you'11 never miss them. The bass lines are strong, sax solos are prominent and guitar riffs are clear and piercing. All the members sing back-up vocals, in harmonies that are very sensual and alluring. The beat of the music helps make I-Tal's lyrics memorable. Reggae includes a wide range of styles—roots, rub-a-dub, traditional and folk; I-Tal has mastered them all. Their extensive repetoire includes works remi­ niscent of the late reggae greats BobMarley and Peter Tosh, as well as well rounded originals that have been captured on two independently-released recordings out of their home base of Cleveland. Seen as a true reggae band with true reggae roots, the band's appearance is congruent with their sound—relaxed, easy, carefree. They wear dreadlocks, jeans, overalls and head scarves, and their music holds a definite message of peace, freedom, and equality. But they are also more than a reggae band. I-Tal's music is a combination of danceable reggae with rock influence accompa­ nied by a wide range of other instruments. I-Tal has worked hard to keep their music receptive to funk, soul, and pop influence, without losing the deep spiritu­ alism that sets reggae apart from other musical forms. "We have a style that is a creation of ours, wherever itcomes from," percussionist George Gordon said. Drum­ mer Keith McFarren calls the band's style "Americanized" reggae, influenced by blues, rock, and jazz. Whatever label you put on I-Tal's music, one thing is sure— it's an energetic form, full of passion, soul and feeling. Appalachian students have consistently shown a love of traditional reggae music throughout the past years. With the likes of Awareness Art Ensemble and Bob Marley's former band. The Waiters, stu­ dents have been given the chance to expe­ rience true reggae at its best first hand. Last year's Wailers show was a huge success, breaking attendance records and proving that reggae is indeed a major force to be reckoned with on campus. A.A.E., with their most recent perform­ ance at Yofest '89, is a proven crowd pleaser. Now is the time for ASU students to experience the magic of I-Tal, clearly a phenomenon that can only be seen to be fully appreciated. Come get "Rasta-fied" at Legends Thursday night. Doors will open at 8:30. Tickets are $3 for students and $4 for guests.

Performance is at 8 pm in Rosen Concert Hall in Broyhill Music Center. After having so few bands in Boone so far, one is faced with a relative plethora of choices this Friday night. First off is Bad Checks, with The Occupants opening up. They start at 10p.m.at Sollecito's; and the cost is $3. Bad Checks is one of the most dangerous bands ever to play uphere. Last year, this foursome put on a rocking show at Sollecito's, and now they are back again to show their ugly heads. If you're into rock and roll with a touch of the blues, this should be an enjoyable show. Also Friday A.P.P.S. will be presenting The Outer Limits at the ASU Pub. This is the third year that they have played here and this band deserves to be rewarded for their efforts. The threesome has played at many clubs in the Carolinas and are cur­ rently looking for a way to put their mate­ rial on vinyl. While a tight band with a pleasing sound, sometimes the most ex­ citing moment at their gigs comes when they switch instruments. When WASU was briefly a "college" radio station, their song "Stars in Your Eyes" was on the perform at Legends tonight, plays a style of reggae that incorpowhile maintaining a rock-solid groove. rates many diverse styles regular playlist. As an added attraction, Life After Lunch, who did such an excel­ lent job two weeks ago opening for No Reason Why, will repeat the favor for The Outer Limitson Friday. For only$2, a stop at the Pub could be a way to start off your evening of musical enjoyment. One more choice for musical entertain­ ment and sweaty bodies will be No Rea­ son Why, with Warehouse opening up, at Whatchamacallit's. (See another related articles also this section.) This will be a benefit for Amnesty International and will only cost $3. No Reason Why continues to put on great shows, especially now with the addition of a second guitarist. This should be very enjoyable for the lucky few who get in. Whatchamallits is a smallclub and will let in only about 175 people, a far cry from the 270 who were at Amadeus two weeks ago. Warehouse is a thrashy, hard rocking threesome originally from Greensboro. They have played in Boone before and continue to gig all around the state as they further their education in the university. With a good cause to support and two See BANDS, pg. 6 abuses that take place around the world. ASU's chapter of Amnesty International is sponsoring the show as a fund-raiser for their organization. The show starts at 9 p.m., and another local band, Warehouse, will open the festivities. There wil be a $3 cover charge at the door. The band describes their music as "funky, psychedelic, metallic dance," and the critics agree. MTV has had a major influence on the type of music the band plays. Some of the more specific influences of the band are diverse as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Iggy Pop, Jane Addiction, Public Enemy, Elvis and Parliament. But no matter what names they drop as influences, the common denominator is a rhythmic, sonic, pulsing, savage sex beat. The group has been together for almost two years. The members are Wendy Sykes (vocals), Jeff Umbarger (bass), Lawrence Winn (guitar), Chris Cybulski (guitar), and Ron Keever (drums.) The band plays locally about once a month. Because the band members are a mixture of full-time students and jobseeking graduates, it is difficult to coordinate school and practice. The relationship between band members are quite swell. "We are fun people; we get along. We have a good time together no matter what we say behind each other's back," Sykes said. The fun they have together must show, because No Reason Why always draws a large crowd to their shows. Seventy percent of what No Reason Why performs is original music. The writing process the band goes through is egalitarian; Cybulski said everybody has a hand in writing the songs. "Generally speaking, one of us will come up with a few interesting parts of a song. Then everybody contributes their ideas to it to make it complete," he said. A prime location for No Reason Why to create their music is at practice. "Sometimes we may be simply experimenting at practice, and we hear something interesting in the sounds. We continue developing and adding to what we hear, and a new song is created." As for the general themes of tne songs, the group tends to write about living in a post-modem society, the angst of young love and the follies of sex. The band and Amnesty International hope that many students come to the show not only to have a good time, but also to learn more about Amnesty International and its goals. Amnesty International hopes the show will provoke some awareness of turmoil in other people's lives. "Occasionally we are exposed to human rights abuses in the media, then the stories disappear when someone decides another event will increase ratings and sales," Cybulski said. "A good example of that is the oppression of apartheid in South Africa. No, we are supposed to be more concerned with saying no instead of asking why." "Awareness activities like Live Aid and the Amnesty tour are beneficial, but we have a general tendency to overlook issues and events that do not directly affect us," Cybulski said. Both bands feel that playing a benefit concert is one of the more effective ways of raising awareness of the organization and its goals. Remember, "Think globally, act locally." Friday night's show promises to be fun, as well as provocative. There is no reason why any marginally self aware student should miss this event. Be sure to get to Whatchamacallit's early to catch this way-cool, monsters-of-rock super group. For students who wish to express a continued interest in worldwide human rights abuses, ASU's Amnesty Interna­ tional meets every Thursday at 6:15 p.m. in room 210 Chapell Wilson Hall. 38 Special, The Questionnaires give new insights Appalachian Staff Writer and PRUITT Y.

FRESH ROCKERS—THE QUESTIONNAIRES: Nashville sensations The Questionnaires, including Tom Littlefield, Doug Lancio, Chris Feinstein, and Hunt Waugh, will open up for 38 Special next Tuesday. 38 Special is proud to be celebrating their fourteenthanniversary this year. They have had seven hit albums for A & M, and just this year have released their biggest single ever, "Second Chance." This southern rock and roll band formed in 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida. They hadaproblem finding rehearsal halls, so they rented an abandoned two-story auto parts store for $60 a month. Because of the noise, the police broke in once while they were practicing, thinking they were doing a drug bust or stopping an orgy. While members of the band tried to ex­ plain, the police yelled, ".38 specials will do the talking!"—an unique but true inci­ dent which gave them the idea for the original name (they dropped the period before the 38 later, in order to prevent association with violent crime). 38 Special got their big break in 1979 with their third record "Rockin' Into The Night" Their newest release, "Rock and Roll Strategy," shares the name of their current tour.They have been touring since November and will continue to do so until early October. All of the band members have families, but love their work. Beginning with this tour, 38 Special is playing at fairs in addition to the usual concert halls."People are people...we're a crowd-oriented band... wherever there are people who want to hear our music we'll go and play for them,"vocalist/songwriter Donnie Van Zant said. Two years ago drummer Steve Brookins, and another band member Don B ames, left the group. Van Zant explained the band's timeworn philosophy: "When you quit having a good time together, you go your own paths." Brookins is pursuing a professional golfing career in Florida and Barnes left the band to go solo. country, blues, or whatever. Suddenly here's a guy from Nebraska, who's lived in LA for the last 12 years, writing real stories about the South." Presently there is more ability in the group to write songs than ever before. Guitarist/songwriter Carlisi g* ated from Georgia Tech with he Drummer Jack Grondin attended a bu. ness school. Bassist Larry Junstrom graduated from high school. Van Zant went to a community college, FJC, in Jacksonville. All the band members feel that the differ­ ent educational backgrounds add to their musical diversity. It seems to be paying off down under —each of the 11 songs off their new album is popular in Australia, and the band enjoys worldwide popularity. The interest of people everywhere have contributed a great deal to the suc­ cess of the band. As long as there is interest in their music, the band will con­ tinue to make music. Van Zant says he sees no reason for the band not to continue Vocalist/keyboardist and songwriter playing for another 14 years. Max Carl and guitarist Danny Chauncey Van Zant described a typical day as are great new assets to 38 Special.

Through science, Tillie finds a way to escape the sarcasm and belittlement she receives from her mother, Beatrice (played by senior theatre education major Lee Ann Givens). Beatrice futilely freams of opening a tea shop while supplementing the family income by boarding elderly invalids in their home. The presence, and sometimes death, of these boarders has contributed to the mentally unbalanced state of her older daughter, Ruth (played by Laura Cole, a sophomore majoring in psychology). In Ruth's desperate longing to have a normal family and to be accepted by her peers, she dresses to the extreme, wears too much make-up and openly smokes cigarettes. She jealously makes fun of her s:ster until the day Tillie is chosen as a The opening production of the theatre season at AppalacianState University will be "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Manin-the-Moon Marigolds," by Paul Zindel.

"The Effect of Gamma Rays on Manin-the-Moon Marigolds" is a drama that centers around the struggle of a mother and her two teen-age daughters to find meaning in their seemingly unfufilled existence.

So come out to hear the old, and new, music of 38 Special as they rock ASU Tuesday night. Joining 38 Special will be The Ques­ tionnaires, one of Nashville's most ea­ gerly-awaited rock bands. The band, made up of singer/songwriter Tom Littlefield, guitarist Doug Lancio, BassistChris Feinstein and drummer Hunt Waugh, creates their own version of the Nashville sound with a suble, melodic style well chosen to counter the Southern rock of 38 Special. Perhaps the best way of informing the public about The Questionnaires is to say thai the producer of their first album, Pat Moran, is responsible for both Iggy Pop and the flavor of last year, Edic Brickell and the New Bohemians. Also indica­ tive of the difference between their first album "Window To the World"-the castle/ recording studio Rockficld in Wales. "Window To the World" is a diverse Arqueue wet. "The Big Blue" is a movie I did not expect to get caught up in, but could not help it. This movie is packed with conflict: humanagainst nature,human against human, and human against him­ self.

"Flash...saviour of our universe..." Remember how that song by Queen went? Well, if you do not, and also forgot about finalist in the school science fair. Eventu­ ally Beatrice and Ruth become proud of Tillie's accomplishments. Tillie's shining moment is clouded by Beatrice's history of mental illness. On the evening of the final science competi­ tion, Beatrice is assaulted by cruel reality once again when Ruth reminds her of the fact that everyone at the school remem bers her by herchildhood nickname,"Betty the Loon." However, the story ends on a note of optimism seen through the eyes of Tillie, with her vision of a world made up of atoms linking everyone and everything to the single energy sourse of the sun. Also in the cast are Amy Inman as the elderly boarder, Nammy, and Amy Jones as Janice Vickery, the girl in competition with Tillie in the science fair. Director Teresa Lee said: "The charac­ ters are revealed through a series of 'sliceof-life' scenes. It has some cinematic this movie from your youth, then it is time to take a step into those younger days and re-experience it all.

Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir in Wilkesboro water-skiing with my brother and his wife. Now, I im definitely not a professional waterskier, but I have gained a little knowledge of the sport since strapping on my first skis at the first of this summer. This being my first year at Appalachian, I figure that this winter will be a good time to transfer my water-ski knowledge to the slopes and leam the art of snow skiing, since this the "Ski Capital of the South." My fears of snow skiing come from the differences I have noticed between water and snow. Principally, water is a liquid, and snow is basically a solid. Learning to water-ski, I have experienced my share of crashes as well as quite a number of W. Kerr Scott enemas. Now I have come to notice that, although most are painless, some falls can inflict a considerable amount of pain. As for enemas, they can inflict apainof different type. A W. KenScott enema is one in which you crash on the water, falling backward and sliding across the water in excess of 30 m.p.h. on your backside. Although not experiencing any real ' enemas this past weekend, I was involved in an extremely painful crash. There I was, skimming across the water it about 35 m.p.h., with just a couple of pieces of fiberglass between me and the water, when I decide to do a little bit more than my skiing talents warrant, m racing alongside the boat, h aving a great time when I decide to cut back and cross both halves of the wake, which would put me on the other side of the boat (port, starboard, or some). Anyway, I make it across the first wake virtually unscathed, a fairly simple maneuver, even for a novice like me. The second portion of the wake proved a bit more tricky.

The Mountaineers will go for their third win of the season when they face the 13th ranked Dukes of James Madison Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The contest is slated for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. James Madison will be trying to avenge last year's defeat 17-14 at the hands of the Mountaineers. The Dukes are independ­ ent and are not affiliated with a confer­ ence. ASU leads the series between the schools 6-2-0, Coach Joe Purzycki is in his fifth year as head coach of the Dukes. Purzycki is 24-20-1 with James Madison including a 5-6 record last year. His career record as a head coach is 45-41-2 over an eight-year span. The Dukes return their top two runners from last year. Junior halfback Greg Medley gained 761 yards on 160 attempts for a 4.8 yard average, and he scored two touchdowns. Junior Leon Taylor ran for 424 yards on 76 attempts for a 5.6 yard average and scored three touchdowns last year. The Dukes are currently 2-0-1 on the season with wins over Bloomsburg and Richmond and a tie with Massachusetts. This year the Dukes returned 48 lettermen including 17 starters . The biggest loss of last year's team is starting quarterback Greg Lancaster who threw for 992 yards last year. He is re­ placed by Roger Waters who also had plenty of playing lime, throwing for over 600 yards last year. JMU averaged 465 yards in two games this season using the Multi-T, an offense combining the Winged-T and I forma­ tions. The Dukes had 578 yards, includ­ ing 422 yards rushing, against Bloomsburg. Against Massachusetts they accumulated 352 yards, including 218 yards passing. The Dukes had the 13th best defense in the country last year. This season, James Madison has allowed opponents to gain just 38.5 yards per game on the ground. They held Bloomsburg to minus 35 yards rushing. Last year quarterback Waters threw for 215 yards against the Moun­ taineers. This year Waters has completed 23 of 44 passes and has yet to be inter­ cepted. The Mountaineers are coming off a tough loss at the hand of The Citadel, 23- 13, for their first loss of the season as well as their first Southern Conference defeat. Tailback Ritchie Melchor was held to 81 yards on the wet field. This was the first time Melchor was held under 100 yard this year. Melchor has gained 340 yards on 65 carries and four touchdowns. Last year Melchor only had 520 yards on 101 car­ ries and two touchdowns. He only had two lOO-yard games last season which he has already equalled this year. Freshman quarterback D.J. Campbell went 9-29 on passing attempts and one touchdown pass last week. On the defen­ sive side of the ball, Johnny Jennings lead the Mountaineers with 16 tackles while Dwayne Pelham finished second with 8 tackles. Of JMU's 22 starters, all but two have had previous starts before the beginning of the 1989 season. The Dukes are only starting one freshman this year; the other new starter is a senior. Last year the Dukes turned the ball over 28 times. After two games this year, JMU has turned the ball over only once.

CHRISTENBURY Appalachian Staff Writer ASU's baseball team has begun its fall exhibition season. According to baseball coach Jim Morris, the fall baseball season is unofficial and has three main goals. Morris said, "Our goals are to select our team, to teach the ASU baseball system to the new players and to review it with the returning players, and to get used to play­ ing together as a team. The season consists of ten games, all at home. ASU takes on both Wake Forest and Clemson this fall. hi games already played this season, ASU defeated Montreat-Anderson 11 -8 and Milligan 7-6. Coach Morris stressed that those games were exhibition. He added: "We try to play good, and we want Tournaments slated throughout month By TABETHA JONES Special To the Appalachian September is a month full of tourna­ ments. The Office of Recreational Sports is sponsoring a weekend Softball tourna­ ment, a Putt-Putt tournament and a golf tournament. The golf tourney took place Thursday, Sept. 14. The first annual weekend Softball tour­ nament will take place the weekend be­ ginning Sept. 29. The entry deadline is Tuesday, Sept. 26. The games will be seven innings in length with a 12-run rule in effect. The 12-run rule is employed when a squad is leading by at least 12 runs at the conclusion of five complete innings. The games will be played on State Farm Field. A participant must be enrolled as a student or employed as a faculty or staff member to play. The winners will receive Intramural Champion T-shirt. Skip Eubanks, special events coordina­ tor, said, "This is the first tournament ever and we want to make it the best ever, so please sign up and come to State Farm ready to roll." The second annual Putt-Putt tourna­ ment will also take place this month. The tournament will be held at the new Moun­ tain Golf Putt-Putt facility, located on Highway 105. The tournament is Sept. 26 at 3 p.m. and the entry deadline is Wednes­ day, Sept. 20. There will be four persons to a team (4 males or 4 females). A $2 fee will be charged to each participant. Mountain Golf will provide prizes for winners. The male and female team win­ ners will receive Mountain Golf T-shirts. The male and female individual winner will receive sweat shirts. Second place male and female individuals winners will receive T-shirts, while third and fourth place male and female individual winners will receive four game passes. Fifth and sixth place individual winners take home two game passes. The first place winners will also receive Intramual Champion Tshirts. As for the golf tourney held Sept. 14, Eubanks said: "This was the first year we ever had the tournament at Roan Moun­ tain. We felt like the tournament needed a change and a challenge and Roan Moun­ tain offered both. The Roan Valley course is one of the best courses in this area and it was a privilege to have the tournament there." There were 15 individuals and 2 teams who participated. The team winners were the SGA Golfers who won with a total score of 369. Andy Swofford shot a 77, Daryl Ghent shot an 88, Brad Edwards SGA president shot a 91, and Randy Johnson shot a 110. The individual male and female winners were Andy Swofford (77) and LindaCampbell (111). Campbell was the only female to participate in the tourney. Eubanks added: "We had a great time on the course, but I think the $20 entry fee may have scared a few of the participants away. But the $20 was well worth it. Those who didn't enter really missed out on some very competitive golf but hey, that's OK. We'll be looking for you next year." More specialevents will be taking place throughout the year. Persons interested in participating in upcoming tournament should contact Eubanks at the Quinn Center. to win, but these are exhibition games and are not on our official record. We want to see a lot of guys play. We want to evaluate our players and hopefully to determine our future team." Coach Morris was positive about the 1990 baseball season. "I think we'll score some runs, because all of our offense is back except (Gary) Chandler. On defense, we've got to start them catching and get more consistent pitching. We have more pitching depth than we did last year; the players are just young, unproven talent. It is a very inexperienced pitching staff, but I think it is a good one." Morris added: "We feel we have a really strong outfield. Four outfielders arereturning, all of whom started last year." Morris commented that the weather has not been cooperative with his efforts to build a strong team. He stated: "Since our lastcul, we haven't been able to do a lot on the field. The rain has really slowed us down." Coach Morris expects to carry approxi­ mately 30 players for the fall season. The team has already been through two cuts, the first from 74 down to 45, the second down to 32. At the end of fall practice, the coach will make what he termed his "toughest cut," reducing the number of players down to 25. The coach hopes to retain approximately three catchers, eight infielders, five outfielders, and 10 pitch­ ers. Some players will play more than one position. Seven baseball players graduated last year. Five pitchers were lost: Pete Palmer, Brad Riley, Dan Norman, Scott Baize and Rod Faison. Three of these were left­ handers. Both the starting catcher, Gary Jeff Turner The Appalachian Sports Editor Kurt Ward The Appalachian Asst. Sports Editor Chandler.and the back-up catcher, Randy Treadway, graduated. Chandler also played third base. However, some out­ fielders who were injured and therefore unable to play last season will be able to play this year. Among the new players Coach Morris is carrying for the fall exhibition season and John Meadows. Catchers Mark Macchia and Tony McCabe will also be back. Brad Niethammer, a second team all conference player, is returning to first base. Pitcher Doug Jones also plays first, Back at second will be Ed Lawing and John Key. Shortstop Steve Hollins also returns. Hollins was a first team all confer- "Our goals are to select our team, to teach the ASU baseball system to the new players and to review it with the returning players, and to get used to play­ ing together as a team.."

Morris is alsolook­ ing at eight pitchers: Chris Brewer from GlenBurnie; Steve Bronack from Raleigh; Mike Dallas from Galleon, Ohio; Gary Davis of Statesville; Sean Mallon of Mahopec, New York; Kevin Rowell of Tucker, Georgia; Jeff Tomlin of Statesville; and Danny Wills ofCharlotte.

Senior center Rob Howard and Chris Schel I hammer are the leoders on an offensive line that has great depth. Junior Eric Boumgardner. a transfer from Syrocuse, has great potential according to JMU Heod Coach Joe Purzycki. Greg Medley, who entered the 1989 season with 1,729 career rushing yards, is the leader of a young yet capable balckfield. Another proven performer is Willie Lanier who rushed for 260 yards and three touchdowns in 1988. ASU's performance ogainst The Citadel last week indicates that the offense needs to establish the running game to be successful. Senior tailback Ritchie MeIchor must have a good game. Look for the Mountaineer offen­ sive line to use its size odvantage to wear down the Dukes. ADVANTAGE ASU's men's club soccer team beat the Hendersonville Aztecs 1 -Oon Saturday. AS U dominated the game, keeping the Aztecs from scoring on a breakaway and on a free kick. Derek Bums scored the lone goal of the game. The team will play on Sunday against Asheville Soccer Haus. The match begins at 5 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium. Women's Club Soccer EVEN JMU's defense is very young. Junior right tackle Jermel Harris and senior noseguard Paul Fornodel are the veterons of a defense that boasts only four seniors. The linebackers always seem to be strong in Purzycki's defense attock. Steve Bates is a converted defensive tackle with size and speed. The Mountaineer defense will look to im­ prove after a sub-par performance ogainst The Citodel. Defense is a strong point of the Mountaineer s, and they must set the tempo of the game. ASU's defense has to do better on first down and eliminate the big plays. On Saturday, Sept. 23 at 4:30 p.m., the ASU lacrosse team will begin their season at State Farm Field. According to Andy Franks, vice president of the club: "We are overjoyed that the sport has come together like it has. Last March the team was only a dream in the hearts and minds of a few displaced lacrosse players, but now it is a fantastic reality." The Mountaineers will take to the field against UNC Cnarlotte. Another organizer. Bob Cole, said, "This game will be particularly interesting because it will be the first game ever played for both teams." Beginner David Parks, a new player on the club, said," I used to watch lacrosse on television, but it wasn't until I actually got to play that I discovered how addictive the sport really is." Since there aren't many athletes at ASU who have played lacrosse, the team is relying on beginners to leant the sport and build the team.

ASU is coming off of a disappointing 23-13 loss to The Citadel and their character will be put to the test. The Mountaineers have dealt with lots of adversity since spring practice and the leadership of the seniors will be of great im­ portance.

The loss of Tim Garrity has left questions to be answered in the JMU place kicking area. ASU brings freshman place kicker Jay Millson and punter Harold Alexander to han­ dle the kicking duties. The kicking game has to be more consistent for the Mountaineers to be successful.

The match begins at 8 p.m. Both matches will be in Kidd Brewer Stadium. JMU is a team that uses its running attack to set up the passing game. Since their offense now combines elements of the Wing-T and the I formations, the Dukes will look to throw downfield. Junior quarterback Roger Waters has excellent size and a strong arm. Juniors Leon Taylor and Keith Thornton are both capable receivers. For the Mountaineers, D.J. Campbell is a double threat, as he possesses a strong arm and the ability to run. Kemal Atkins, Joe Briggs and Ivan Copney are receivers with big play capabilities.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1989 JEFF TURNER El Cetera Editor ^St. News Editor PRUITT ALLEN COMMENTARY 262-3104. Security must be top priority The problem of sexual assaults seems to be escalating on campuses nationwide, and ASU is no exception. However, it is encouraging that this university is taking steps to prevent assault attempts. Later this semester, the university will install a television monitor­ ing system at the Edgewood parking lot. If the system is successful, then the university will expand it. The initial cost of this system is slated at $25,000. ASU should be commended for this action and other such prevenlative measures should be implemented. Although the price of this new system seems steep, it is reassuring to know that some student money is spent inawise manner. The Public Safety and Security Office, which seems to be known only for its campus parking involvement, needs to focus even more lime on safety and less on ticketing. According to Security Director Roy Tugman, one rape and two sexual assaults were reported last year, and one attempted rape has been reported this year. In addition, many sexual assaults go unreported for various reasons. Everyone needs to be aware of these problems. It is estimated that 54 percent of all college women experience some sort of sexual victimiza­ tion. Also, it is estimated that 15 to 20 percent of college women have been , and 20 to 25 percent have been the victims of attempted rape. One preventative measure students can take to avoid any type of assault is to utilize the SGA-sponsored Mountaineer Escort program. The escorts are available every Sunday through Thursday from 7 p.m. to 12:15 am. For more information on Mountaineer Escort, call 262-6438. While Mountaineer Escort is totally run by SGA, the escorts are volunteers and receive nocompensation. The Security Office, which funnels enormous amounts of money in through parking tickets, should have the duty of compensating the escorts. Other safety measures have already been implemented. At various locations on campus, security phones are available for students to notify security in the event of an emergency. Also, foot-officers are on duty at night in order to prevent any problems. The university has taken some steps to prevent the problem of sexual assault. Yet, even more money needs to be focused on this issue. It is obvious that $ 17,000 is much better spent on assault prevention than on a high priced speaker and a six-foot birthday cake. Gucci means God- fearing? While arguing about what I should wear to church one Sunday morning, I brought up a point which silenced my mother. I insisted that if everyone were naked in the eyes of God, why was it necessary to dress up for services? Isn't it a sin to fake your appearance? Aren't snappy church-goers really insulting the Lord by suggesting what he created requires adjustments? With these statements, I scored a minor victory with my mother in the name of sneakers and jeans, but I'm afraid the rest of the Bible-thumping world would not have listened.Custom dictates that dress clothes are to be worn in places of worship. Since the founding of the Catholic Church, popes and high clergy have decked themselves out in gowns that rival royalty. For centuries, theChurch has been wealthy. Italian popes during the Middle Ages had armies and mistresses, so what is wrong with seducing your secre­ tary? Jim Bakker can't figure it out. He just goes into fits under the couch. Now that the PTL conspirators have been dethroned, let's try to understand what happened and not let people like Jim and Tammy Faye gain power again. Their deeds remain unmatched in the Christian world. Never before have the works of Satan infiltrated so far into the Christian institution. Sure, there are plenty of neo-Nazi Skinhead Devil Worshipers out there, but eyeshadow to match her fig leaf, and Jim praying for more apples. But unfortunately, the followers of PTL couldn t see through Jim and Tammy Fay Bakker's cloak of cameras David and cosmetics. Television was their God, and they prayed for profit every broadcast. Blessed by the Ameri­ Madison can obsession for easy comforts, the PTL ran a wholesale salvation service. Heritage USA catered to Christians who believed in a ministry inundated with materialism luxury in the name of the Lord. For $1,000, a couple could invest in the PTL and receive tfiree free nights in the Grand Hotel at Heritage. those cults have never actually fooled thousands of loyal The deal was bogus, of course, and that is why Jim and the Christians into sending them money. The supporters of rest of his cronies are going to jail. But the fact remains the PTL financed countless sins. Hedonism, gluttony, that this type of gaudy evangelism can succeed in our sopride, lust and lechery were on Jim and Tammy's every­ called pious society. Why are the sound principles of the Bible filtered out by TV and big money? day agenda. Broken promises and tainted souls are not the only tragedies the Bakkers created. The real result of the B akker fiasco is a nationwide breakdown in trust. Donors to legitimate charities may be more careful after such a scandal and give less to the Christian cause. If there is a God, I hope it is in shock over the damage done by the PTL. Divine nightmares should include images of a Bakker-style Garden of Eden. Just picture Tammy Faye not being able to find the right green It seems that those who have the least, do the most good for the Church and its charities. Missionaries and honest clergy should demand justice. They deserve far more support than fakes like Jim and Tammy. All the money diverted by the PTL should have gone to aiding these organizations. One day I hope all active ministries understand the insignificance of material possessions and outward appearance. Mother Teresa doesn t need a fur coat and I can't stand wearing penny loafers. Pharmaceutical company ignores ethics By MIKE COOK Appalachian Columnist Last week in New York City. five welldressed young men walked into the New York Stock Exchange with falsified trader identification badges. Once they gained access to the trading floor they chained themselves to abalcony railing overlook­ ing the Exchange floor. They unrolled a banner which read "Cell Welcome." These young men were carriers of the AIDS virus. They were protesting the actions of the pharmaceutical company Borroughs-Welcome. They were asking stockholders to divest their holdings in the corporation because of questionable ethics on thepart ofBorroughs-Welcome. The protestors were cut loose and promptly arrested by the NYPD for ille­ gal trespassing. This only added fuel to the fire of the protestors outside. This company has been granted a monopoly by the FDA on the manufac­ ture and sale of a drug called AZT. Re­ search done with this drug has shown that it extends the life of some AIDS patients. Demand for this new drug by those suf­ fering from AIDS has been overwhelm­ ing. BorToughs-Welcome has taken ad­ vantage of this saddening situation to reap a profit. Since Welcome is the only company manufacturing the drug, they can set the price anywhere they want. Welcome is offering the treatment for approximately $8,000. The treatment is administered over a year's time. The financial situation of the average AIDS patient does not allow for this expensive hope. At the stage in the illness where AZT treatment becomes an option, most AIDS patients have already exhausted their financial resources in the costly diagnosis and care involved with treating the virus. Usually the patients have little or no health insurance, and in many cases what insurance they do have will not cover an AZT treatment because of its status as an experimental drug. The main function of drugs is their ability to cure sickness andease pain. The benefits of these drugs to mankind has been immense. Man has the ability to ease the pain and end the suffering of his brothers and sisters. No w itseems that the pain and suffering will only ease in the presence of the "almighty dollar." This example of sickening greed on the part of Borroughs-Welcome is indicative of the state of humanity and compassion in today's society.These peopledying of AIDS are denied the one thing that could help extend what little time they have left because they don't have enough money. Borroughs-Welcome has a wonder drug that can add a glimmer of hope to what is essentially a limited existence. What kind of price do you put on another day for these people? Is it $8,000? More? Less? This is not where the issue lies. The key point is that this should not be a question of economics but one of ethics. When you were growing up, your par­ ents, teachers and religious figures al­ ways told you that it was important to help other people. Borroughs-Welcome seems willing to help, but for a price. In their eyes, if you can't pay the price, you can't play the game. This is wrong both ethically and morally. The AZT treat­ ment should be made available to anyone who desires it. No individual has the right to play God, granting life to or withhold­ ing it from a chosen few. The drug should at least be within the financial means of those patients seeking treatment. If people want the treatment, they should be able to receive it regard­ less of whether or not they have the means of paying for it. This may sound too idealistic, but in cases such as these, a bit of idealism can add so much hope to a person's life. If corporations such as BorroughsWelcome are unwilling to help their fel­ low man and continue exploiting the misfortunes of others, the U.S. govern­ ment should open up the monopoly and allow other competitors to enter the market. Basiceconomic theory will show that the treatment, which would be bene­ ficial to everyone involved. It is the re­ sponsibility of our government to prevent monopolies such as these and not to encourage them. It is understood that companies such as Borroughs-Welcome operate for profit. That is how our economy works. I have no quarrel with this fact. What angers me is the fact that these people seek a profit in such a distressing situation. The busi­ ness world has to stop looking to the "other guy" to make the humanitarian gestures. This is not a problem which knows political or corporate boundaries. It is aproblem with global consequences. These companies should be doing all they can to end or at least ease the suffering caused by this terrible disease. After all, drugs should be for people, not for profit. Censors, won't you please cut it out! By WILLIAM E. O'FLAHERTY Appalachian Columnist Are critical viewing skills the allimportant solution to the potential (and very real) negative influence of the mass media in our culture? I have pondered that questions since interviewing a professor and writing an article for "the Appalachian" about his class which dealt with that topic. This professor says the best and only effective way to change what one consid­ ers to be a negative impact of the mass media is to give people the tools to view things in our image-based world more critically—and this would hopefully lead to critical consumption. ship, we could not rid our culture of what is considered to be the negative effect of mass media or the products which are promoted via this medium. So, is censor­ ship always bad? Before answering consider several examples of what many people have spo­ ken out against, which even some of the most libera] people have agreed with. Several years ago parents and others rose up and cned out for the removal of a mov ie which portrayed Santa Claus as a rapist and a thief. Very few disagree that young children would have a hard time filtering through the image pf that Santa and the traditional image of Santa Of course, whenever anyone uses the Bible to re­ inforce a lifestyle of questionable morals, that's fine-it's the contemporary thing to do. No one would ever think of not letting them speak. This critical consumption would then lead to the elimination of things which are not viewed as good. Thus, any kind of action which would be considered direct censorship is unnecessary and inept. This would logically seem to say that no limits should be placed on "artistic expression." However, if you think critical viewing skills have been lacking in our nation, this means censorship is necessary to some degree. Why? Because, if there has been a lack, then we must have allowed some things to be produced which would not have been possible if people had thought more discriminately in the past. Also, for some things there will always be a de­ mand, which would justify their being made—so this argues that some kind of censorship is necessary. I in no way mean critical viewing and thinking are not excellent skills to teach people, yet, without some kind of censor- Then there is therecent movie"Wired," based on the book of the same name, which portrays the life of John Belushi. Just about everybody who's anybody in Hollywood hates the movie and curses it as an inaccurate characterization of Be­ lushi. In fact, all the major Hollywood studios turned it down for distribution. Which is no different than censoring it because a movie would not really get any chance of being seen if the big studios ^ don't distribute it. Another biography, this one a book f. about John Lennon, was also viewed disdainfully. "The Lives of John Lennon" by-;? Albert Goldman was released last yea and Yoko Ono, Paul McCartney, Julian Lennon and "Rolling Stone" magazine all denounced it as fiction, wishing it would not have been published.

It is absolutely for town council members to Sey can patronize students by concerned only with these issues. "fsU students comprise a large *on of the registered voters in Watauga County. They are concerned with the total well-being of this area. This includes water, sewer, roads, waste, parking, roads, and yes, alcohol, noise and much more. The reason why students vocalize their feelings is the fact that so many of the "political promises" in this town are flimsy and do not hold up to their true potential. Keeping this in mind, Saul Chase has solicited student support in the past. He has yet to succeed in showing the concern his supporters deserve. This is not a form of representation students need or look for. Therefore, it can be firmly stated that Saul Chase probably will not receive the support he so greatly and possibly misuses, in his quest to be re-elected into town council. It is important that everyone who is registered to vote in Boone get out to the polls on Tuesday, Oct. 10. But, be sure not to make room for "whishy washy politics!"

SAT Scores Lowest in Nation According to "The Charlotte Observer," North Carolina State School > cjiatt OL11UU1 Superintendent Bob Etheridge announced Tuesday a plan to improve educa- lion in the state. Etheridge hopes that his plan will help to improve Scholastic Apptitude Test Scores in North Carolina. New data was released Monday, showing that North Carolina had slipped from 49th to 50th place nationally in SAT rankings. The average SAT score for N.C. high school seniors fell to 836 this year, two point beneath the average in South Carolina. Etheridge believes Ihe problem lies in the state's secondary education system. Etheridge said. "Secondary education should be improved both in what is offered to students and how well it is taught." The national SAT score average is 903. Pizza Huts on Campus (CPS)—Pizza Hut pizzas soon may be available just outside dorms on as many as 450 campuses nationwide, upsetting off-campus business people. Marriott Food and Services Management, which runs food facilities at col­ leges and schools, said in late August that it has signed an agreement with PiziiHutto operate Pizza Hut kiosks directly on campus grounds. Marriott installed a similar program, in which students can charge special finch pizzas with their meal cards, for Domino's at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill last winter. As a result one local off-campus pizza ir, Howie's, folded, while another, Gumby's, saw its share of the UNC pizza market fall from 45 to 10 percent. "It appears the Pizza Hut name and kiosk are attracting to the university anion area students who used to go downtown to eat," added Dr. Stephen H. Peterson of Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg, where Marriott has been testing the kiosk idea. Pizza Hut sold 1,200 pizzas, enough for one for every eight students, the first day its kiosk was open at CMSU. There are now two kiosks on campus. At George Washington University, another test site, staffers projected sellg 800 to 1,000 pizzas a day. Within two weeks, Pizza Hut was selling that many pizzas just during the lunch hour. Now, GW is selling about 1,500 piz­ zas a day and has just added a second kiosk, said Director of Auxiliary services Julius Green At most campuses, students can use their meal card to "charge" pizzas. For example, the meal program at GW includes 10 meals a week, plus $200 per semester students can use at any location on campus that sells food. Pizza Hut likes the kiosks. They cost one-tenth the amount needed to build "rational Pizza Hut restaurant, but can generate up to one-half of the sales of 'restaurant, Marriott spokeswoman Kathy Boyle said. House Approves Bill "The Charlotte Observer" reported that the U.S. House of Representatives 'pproved a bill banning the burning of the American flag on Tuesday. The bill "so protects that flag from being defaced, or trampled and from other forms oi mutilation. The vote on the bill was 380-38, with opposition mainly coming rom rePublicans, who generally favored a constitutional amendment. Spon­ sors of the bill called it less drastic than the proposed amendment, also favored V President Bush.

Lows will be in the 60s to the lower Thursday September 14, 1989 Parking assignments for 62 freshmen, sophomores, and juniors have been revoked. Director of Public Safety and Security Roy Tugman said the assignments were revoked to ac­ commodate for the loss of space in the stadium lot due to the construc­ tion of the west-campus food facility. Tugman said the letters were sent to two groups of students—those who live in campus residence halls and were given parking assignments for the stadium and Stansberry lots and those who live within the perimeter of the campus, who were assigned spaces but were not eligible for those lots. He added that the name of students whose spaces were revoked were taken from a computer list which was made from those who purchased A (Stadium) stickers and V (Stansberry). In a letter that was hand delivered to students affected by the reassign­ ment, Tugman stated: "...Parking spaces are extremely limited this semester. Therefore it is most impor­ tant that we limit the number of vehicles parking on campus during the class time periods. Therefore, it has become necessary to reassign a number of students that are living on campus and assigned to park in the commuter parking lots." The students were requested to go to the Traffic Office before Sept. 13 for a reassignment or refund of their fee. According to the letter, students who did not comply would have their parking privileges revoked. Tugman met with some of the students affected by the reassignment Sunday night. After the meeting, a letter from the reassigned students was sent to Chancellor John Thomas expressing their concern over the situation. According to the students' letter the decision to revoke and reassign spaces was reached by Tugman with the knowledge of Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette. It added that the students contacted SGA President Brad Edwards, Residence Life Director Bob Dunnigan, and Vice Chancellor for Stu­ dent Development Dr. David Mclntire "who were not aware of the (cur­ rent parking) issue." It continued to say, "(Edwards, Dunnigan and Mclntire) are also concerned about the (af­ fected) students and do support us with the problem." In the letter a proposal was made to Thomas stating that parking should be done on first-come-first-serve basis. The proposal reads: "Those commuter students who do not arrive in time to Find a parking space in Stadium or Stansbury lots will have to park in the annex lot. This annex will be J or Edgewood lot." In the meeting, Tugman expressed concern about students not being able to make class on time if they had to walk from the upper lots. According to the proposal from the students "The AppalCART runs to the lots every half hour so the students (Park­ ing in J and Edgewood will have no problem arriving to class." The students also said, "those who are being incovenienced are receiving nothing in return for a problem that was not created by the students... The students that have been affected with this matter have a belief that they are being treated un­ fairly." According to the letter, Tugman supported the students in setting up an appointment with Trivette for Mon­ day morning to discuss the parking problem. The letter said the appoint­ ment had been cancelled. Tugman said that Rivers Street bike routes were roped off last week to prevent students from parking along the street. Rivers Street is owned by the state, he said, and hence, "ASU has an obligation to respect the State and use the street only as authorized for special events and emergencies." According to Tugman, students parking along River Street were assigned to Horn-in-the-West and J lots. He said that 85 spaces were lost in Stadium lot due to construction, and added that the problem was "not a case of over-assignment but a case of loss." According to Tugman a new lot was opened last Thursday. He said that the Dougherty lot is for those who have Stadium lot parking stickers and can hold 63 spaces for use when Stadium lot is full. According to Tugman, Dougherty lot was originally designed for faculty use, but "due to the need to satisfy the overflow, it will be used for the students." Tugman said that construction of new parking facilities will begin by Fall 1990 and should solve a lot of the problems. Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock TICKET TO PARADISE?: Well, not really. ASU Security has revoked and reassigned parking spaces to deal with the current parking situation. Those af­ fected were hand delivered letters that requested them to come by the Security Office for reassign­ ment. They have been moved to J and Edgewood lots. After winning Miss North Carolina ASU student to vie for Miss America By DIANNE WALLY Appalachian Copy Editor and JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian News Editor ASU senior Kelly Dawn Fletcher will represent the state of North Carolina in the Miss America Pageant which will air live on NBC Saturday Night. Fletcher, a native of Hickory, said that before she arrived at the pageant site in Atlantic City, N.J., she was nervous about the contest. "I thought that all the other girls would be stuffed shirts, but they're not." Fletcher said that she is enjoying her experience, but added that the pageant is not quite what she ex­ pected. "There are so many produc­ tion numbers; I feel like I'm in a Broadway show. It doesn't really feel like a pageant." She said her first real pageant was a high school beauty pageant. "I lost the first time I competed, but tried it again and won." Fletcher won the title of Miss Hickory while attending Lenoir Rhyne College but did not win the ti­ tle of Miss North Carolina. She said that she decided to enter the Miss High Country pageant when she came to ASU. As Miss High Country, she represented Watauga, Ashe and Alleghany counties in the Miss North Carolina pageant. As Miss North Carolina, Fletcher is the official spokesperson for the N.C. Department of Community Colleges on Literacy. "The main thing that I am trying to accomplish is to become a motivating speaker for the literacy program." According to Fletcher, North Carolina is ranked the third highest state in terms of illiteracy. Fletcher said that representing North Carolina is a full time job. "I don't have a free weekend until Christmas." In order to fulfill her duties, Flet­ cher has taken a year off from col­ lege. "I really love Boone," she said. "Probably the hardest adjustment I've had to make is not going back to school this year. I miss the football games." She said that she will return to Boone next July if she does not win in Saturday's pageant. If she wins the title of Miss America, Fletcher will immediately go on tour. "I would travel until September and then return to school in January." Fletcher said that she really couldn't tell how well she is doing in the pageant because she has not been able to see the other contestants com­ pete. "I'm trying to keep it all in perspective.I want to do my best and compete only with myself and not with everybody else," she said. Fletcher is a Public Relations major receiving her bachelor's degree, and after attending graduate school, she plans to work as a director in the public relations field. She said that after visiting Atlantic City she would like to work in a large hotel. "I really like the atmosphere here, and I think that competing in this pageant is a very positive career opportunity." The pageant will air live on NBC at 10 p.m.Saturday. Austin campaigns By JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian New Editor Miss Kelly Dawn Fletcher Miss North Carolina According to Fletcher, the pageant consists of four separate competi­ tions—interviews, talent competition, evening gown competition and a swimsuit competition. She said that the interviews were conducted Mon­ day night, the talent competition was held Tuesday night, evening gowns were judged last night and that tonight she will participate in the swimsuit competition. Each contes­ tant receives a score following that night's competition. After all com­ petitions are complete, a composite score is calculated and used to select the top ten finalists. The contestants do not know their scores and will not know who the finalists are until they are announced before a live nation­ wide audience Saturday night. Editor's note: The following article is the first in a three part series highlighting the candidates for the Boone mayoral election. According to the Watauga County Board of Education, three people have filed to run for the office of mayor. Among them is Craig Austin, a 40-year-old sub­ stitute teacher from Boone who feels that the town is ready for a change in leader­ ship. "People want the next mayor to be more than aribbon-cutter,"Austin said. "If that's all the town needs, we could save a whole lot of time and money by hiring a public relations person to do the job." Austin says that he feels legalizing liq­ uor by the drink will bring much needed revenue into the town. "I'm very much in favor of liquor by the drink. I am the only candidate who is in favor of it." According to Austin, he has received estimates that passage of a liquor by the drink referendum will bring as much as $200,000 per year into the town. Austin said that his opponents are not in favor of the issue. "Bill Rucker stated that he is not in favor of liquor by the drink and Velma Burnley will not comment," he said. Rucker and Burnley are running against Austin for the office. Austin said that the money brought into the town by liquor by the drink could be used to update the present sewer system which he says is running "at, or even over, capacity.

Senior Committee President Keith Barber describes thecommittee as a group of 25 diversified seniors devoted to serv­ ing and unifying the class of 1990. The leadership specialist for theCenter for Student Involvement and Leadership and the committee co-advisor Nancy Jones, said the group is active with almost every college and major organization represented on campus. "Through this we have had more ideas and input," Jones said. "This year it will be different being an Appalachian senior," the assistant direc­ tor of alumni affairs and the co-advisor, Patrick Henderson, said. The current members of the committee were rising seniors last year who were invited to and applied for the committee. Henderson and Jones then interviewed the applicants. "We were looking for people who would have this committee high on their priority list," Jones said. "We wanted those students who could really commit time and effort to this organization." The committee is divided into four smaller sub-committees which are: news­ letter/public relations, graduation, senior activities and senior class gift. The Newsletter/Public Relations Com­ mittee is in charge of all publicity for the group and a regular senior newsletter. The Graduation Committee will look at the specifics of December graduation, dinner, Fteddy could've talked me to the point a mg asleep, yet we all know what 'PPcns when you doze off on Fred.

"Seniors have worked hard to achieve their classification; we need to give them recognition and say we're proud of them for that," Jones said. By JENI GRAY Eight days before Mother's Day, Her­ bert Henry Ruth, Jr. called his mother to tell her he loved her. It was an early gift— and the last one he would ever give her. Hours later the only trace of the ASU freshman was a pair of shoes found by a pond at the university's Tomlinson Park. The 19-year-old Charlotte native was dead — a suicide victim. Under blooming dogwood trees, stu­ dents gathered on the pond bank to watch divers search for Ruth's body, hoping the effort would prove unsuccessful, but that wasn't to be. His body was found May 9, three days after drowning in the pond. Ruth is one of about 6,000 college stu­ dents who killed themselves this year. But to the people who knew him, he was more than just one of those numbers. "He was agood boy.He basically didn' t giveus any problems, and he setvery high standards for himself — higher than what we expected of him," said Shirley Wil­ liams, Ruth's mother. "He was a good student. He had problems with classes once in awhile, but no more really than anyone else. He had definite goals o,v,k that he motivated himself to meet." Current statistics show that of the 12 million currently enrolled college students, 15 of every 100,000 students will take their own lives, said Dr. Don Sanz, direc­ tor of Appalachian's Counseling and Psychological Services Center. A suicide of someone between the ages of 14 and 25 occurs every 90 minutes. Ninety percent of the attempts are by females, but 80 percent of actual suicides are by males, Sanz said. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people. The first is car accidents. Ruth's death was the second suicide at Appalachian this year. His friends were stunned after hearing of his death. No one knew he was having problems of that magnitude. "He was always happy, always smil­ ing," said Lynette Gardin, a friend of Ruth's. "He always had nice things to say and was always willing to talk about your problems." Freshman Johnny James has known Ruth since elementary school. They grew up together in Charlotte, and were good friends. James saw Ruth for the last time Thursday. The two were getting haircuts at the same time. James noticed nothing unusual about his friend. "I didn't know he was having major problems," he said. "He was worried about OnJiason , ' The way he tlirows that axe , ;2?u d think he ought to be a inCanada-1 stiH think he „"«ab h f'thonU' CC's'on g°ing to Manhattan.

Killers aren't all exams, but he was studying for those. Thursday night he didn't seem any differ­ ent. He was joking around, having fun." When James heard his friend was miss­ ing, he didn't know what to think. He thought Ruth had gone off somewhere to think about exams. Then Ruth's body was found. "I was sad, of course, but I was kind of relieved. It solved a lot of my questions," he said. "It was just kind of arelief to know it was over." Suicides leave a lot of unanswered questions. What problemsare so great that a student commits suicide? What can be done to prevent it? In Ruth's case, the answers to those questions are still un­ clear. Williams last saw her son two weeks before his death. He brought a friend and met his family in Marion, where Wil­ liams' husband is pastor of a church. "He seemed OK. He was anxious about the term ending and getting home. He wanted to work at the country club where he worked lastyear, and we talked about that. But he really seemed OK," Williams said. Early Saturday morning, May 6, Ruth called his mother. He was depressed, and told her he was probably going to fail his history class. "We talked about that, and that it wasn't something that couldn't be overcome," Williams said. Ruth told her he'd call her again at daylight. The call never came. When Williams heard her son was missing, she was anxious for him, but like James, she thought he wanted time alone to think about his classes or whatever problems he might be having.

At the beginning of the Fall Semester, seniors were sent a brochure with a gold card inside which they must keep in order to participate in the special senior activi­ ties. It is important that seniors hang on to their cards," Barber said. "This is the ticket for all senior activities, such as free stadium cups and the graduates' dinner." September is a busy month for seniors, with activities every week; after Septem­ ber an activity will take place once a month. "We want to bring together the seniors and get them more involved as a class," Henderson said. The Senior Class Gift Committee will look at thepossibility of giving a gift to the university from the senior class. Barber said this was a student idea and something about which they had received favorable feedback. Jones said she hopes that next year the Senior Committee president and vicepresident will be chosen in an election by the entire senior class. "This will change the title from senior Committee president to senior class president," Jones said.

Austin said that he would also use the money to help balance Boone's budget. He said that last year the town budget had a deficit of $96,000. "The money that is coming in should be spent on things we need, he said. "We can't go on like this." According to Austin, money was taken Irom a rainy day" fund to balance the budget this year. He also wants to revise the noise ordi­ nance. 'No one law is going to settle this issue. It s going to require people working together. 'Students have the right and need to blow off some steam," he said. "But they've get to realize that the residents also have arightand need to a good nights test If we all work together, some com­ promise can be made." Austin says he is very concerned about llie relations between the residents of Boone and students. T in worried that there's been too much of an us vs. them" attitude in this town," he said. lie added that this has been caused mainly by the beer in Boone vote and the Dougherty House issue. "Relations are not as close as they have been in the past. Students are very much a part of Boone." Austin said that the vote for beer in Boone wasn't a vote on beer, but a vote on student rights. "The intimidation that the students felt was disgusting," he said. According to Austin, he would like to see student representation in town busi­ ness. "In the past, a student was allowed to be a ex-official member of the town coun­ cil. If I'm elected, I would like to see it happen again." He explained that the position was usually filled by the SGA President, who would not be allowed to vote in council business. Austin said that Boonecould not handle much more growth. "Right now it would be difficult. We've got so much new growth that it's about to overwhelm the place." Austin said he believes that there will be a run-off election in October. He ex­ plained that one of the candidates for mayor must win at least 50 percent of the vote to be declared the winner. "I'm mentally prepared for a run-off," he said. Austin said that the students could be the determining factor in the elections. "They can decide this thing. If enough students come out and vote, I will win and I 11 remember where my victory came from," he said.

MareWinningham is fine as the local vet, but she has nothing with which to work and adds little to the film. Spottiswoode's direction is perfunctory at best. There are some nice moments of physical comedy, but most of the laughs are built around drool, farts and dog food. How Hanks manages to give a winning performance inan otherwise passable film is a testament to his charm and comic appeal. Credit should also go to Hooch as the ugliest, mangiest dog in film history.

After all, America is supposed lo just be one big leisure nation, and our society greatly rewards those who suc­ cessfully entertain us. An observer might even say that we are trying to "amuse ourselves to death." Well, off to the excit­ ing world of deciding how to occupy my valuable time and still feel like I am doing something meaningful. I Thursday night at 8 p.m. A.P.P.S. will (present"Oliver!", a superb British musi­ cal movie based on the novel "Oliver Twist" by Charles Dickens. A great musi­ cal score accompanied by spirited chore­ ography creates an enjoyable atmosphere woven around a tale of youthful gangs. (My,how times dochange!) Winnerof six academy awards, this film is well worth the price of one dollar. I do advise you to bring a pillow, however, as I.G. Greer theatre seats are not among the most comfortable places to be. Thursday night also has this years kickoff of the A.P.P.S. Comic Strip. Once a month there will be a night of comedians at Legends; highlighting this year's sched­ ule will be Emo Phillips in November. Tonight has nationally-known comedian Willie Stratford with special guest, Charlottean Mike Gigante. Both comedians have performed in the High Country area before and enjoy the favorable reception •hey usually get.

Highlighting this weekend are two free movies, "Cry, the Beloved Country" at 7 p.m. and "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman" at 9 p.m. both Friday and Saturday night. "Cry, The Beloved Coun­ try" stars Sidney Poitier as a black South African minister traveling to the city in search of his son who has been convicted of murder. Made in 1951, it was the first movie to deal with the South African racial policy known as apartheid. Unfor­ tunately this movie is still as current and poignant now as it was then. "The Autobi­ ography of Miss Jane Pittman" is a fic­ tional account of a black woman whose life has spanned from the civil war to the 1960s civil rights movement. One of the most ambitious TV movies ever made, it won nine Emmy Awards. Once again Gebeaux's pick of the weekend is a movie; it has been a slow month so far. At 11:30 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights A.P.P.S. presents "National Lampoon's Animal House." While not as funny as the average issue of "National Lampoon", this satire of col­ lege and fraternity life touches upon many conceptualizations of what college life and order are supposed to be. While the best part of this movie is any scene that John Belushi mugs his way through, the movie was and is an enormous hit. The "midnight movie" format is a nice addition to the movie schedule and should be fairly packed with only 460 seats in the theatre. At $1.50, $4.00 if you take a date and split popcorn and a drink, this is a good deal; besides, what else is there to do in Boone at night? For those hoping for live bodies to look at there are plenty of bands playing this weekend: The Rockafellows, $5, at 10 p.m. Thursday, Sollecito's; Tornado, $4, 10 p.m. Friday, Sollecito's; Hard Soul Poets, Saturday, Whatchamacallit's; Swans, with Autumn Cannibalism, Sun­ day, 1313 Club, Charlotte.

Not one of these vehicles has ever made money, but that cannot deny Candy's obvious talents. In "Uncle Buck" Candy gives the best per­ formance of his film career. It is John Hughes' bland direction and uninspired writing that undermines this effort. Early in his career Hughes had his fin­ ger on the pulse of teenage America. "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club," and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off' established him and many of his young actors as hot Hollywood properties. In these films the kids were smart while the adults were buffoons. As Hughes attempted to cross over to more adult centered comedies, his magic began to lose its appeal. Candy's Uncle Buck is the perfect Hughes' adult. Childish, immature and unwilling to take on adult responsibilities, Uncle Buck is asked in a pinch to take care of his brother's kids while he and his wife visit her ailing father. Not only is this a chance to get out of work, but Buck sees the visit as an opportunity to try out fatherhood. The story is basically a coming-ofage comedy with 40-year-old protago­ nist. While developing his characters, Hughes is also making a few key points about families in the fast lane. The kids in question are your average film children. Mary (Gaby Hoffman), the youngest, is having problems adapting to the school environment, and Miles (MacCauley Culkin) is the obligatory cute, precocious blond with a mouth like a truck driver. Candy's biggest trouble comes from 15-year-old Tia (Jean Louise Kelly). Spoiled and neglected by her fast-track parents, Tia is teenage angst at its worst. "We need boys," she tells her whining sister, "so they can grow up, get married and turn into shadows." As far as mothers go, Tia obviously feels their place is in the home. Defiant, promiscuous and cynical, Tia is unprepared for the attention her uncle will bestow upon her. It is this relationship that propels the action of the film and forces both charac­ ters to re-evaluate themselves and their attitudes. Also notable are Amy Madigan's performance asCandy's girlfriend, who is not going to wait around much longer for her ring, and Laurie MetcalFs cameo as the man-hungry women next door. Hughes' writing is no longer as fresh and original as it once was. He now gets his laughs from microwaveclothes drying, bowling balls in the closet and teachers with moles. Outside of a couple of flights into the imagination of his characters, Hughes' direction is less manic, less hyperkinetic than his earlier films. Unfor­ tunately it is also less interesting. Candy, however, remains unscathed. His Uncle Buck is part Fred Flints tone and Copyright Touchston* Picture* All Rights Reserved. Tom Hanks as Scotl Turner; Hooch as Hooch. part Ward Cleaver. He gives these kids the attention they need, and they teach him that grown up responsibilities are not that bad. The film's central relationship be­ tween Buck andTia, however,never quite works. The sentimental climax is unfortu­ nately strained and does not play well. Candy's performance is relaxed and good humored. He should play more of these beautiful losers. Let us just hope that next time he is not expected to carry the entire film.

For your desert island listening pleasure By JIM EVANS Appalachian Staff Writer The following article is an excerpt from my upcoming book"I Was Trapped On A Desert Island For Thirteen Weeks With My Roommate Mike." In our attempts to escape the rigors of college life, Mike and I decided to take a cruise around the world. However, two weeks into our journey we were caught up in a freak Pacific storm and were ship­ wrecked on a lush, but deserted, tropical isle. Luckily for us,Mike managed to save our cassette player and tapes before our ship sank beneath the waves forever. Hoping to raise our spirits I poppedThe Wonder Stuff's "The Eight-Legged Groove Machine" into the tape deck. Within minutes we were dancing around to the bands' hook-laden songs. My favor­ ite among the songs are the rollicking "No For the 13 th Time," and the instantly memorable love song "A Wish Away." Mike, business major that he is, prefers the band'sdriving odes tocapitalism, "It's Your Money I'm After Baby" and one of the 1989's best singles, "Give, Give, Give Me, More, More, More." The cassette contains four more songs, every one a winner, bringing the grand total up to eight. This is one purchase you will never regret. By the time our second week on the island had passed, we had settled into the island life with relative ease. We had yet to see another ship, but food was plentiful and our tans were shaping up nicely so we weren't too troubled about anything. By the middle of our third week, Mike had managed to brew up a tasty coconut wine (I always knew his encyclopedic knowledge of "Gilligan's Island trivia would come in handy.) After drinking copious amounts of this tropical brew, we settled down to listen to Poi Dog Ponder ings' latest EP "Circle Around the Sun." The title track is anifty blend of percus­ sion, guitars, and hornsoverlaid with Frank Orralls' laid-back speak-singing. This is followed by "Aloha Honolulu," a bizarre mixture of Hawaiian music and classic sounds drawn from 30s and 40s radio. My favorite among the tracks is "Wood Gui­ tar,' a song pushed along by distorted guitar, steady drums, horns, and a moody string arrangement. It's reminiscent of "Porcupine"-period Echo and the Bunnymen. The last song "Falling" is an eerie Hugo Largosoundalike that isquite lovely. It put Mike into a blissful sleepand left me wanting to hear more. This is a band that should be heard by anybody who believes variety is the spice of life. The next day we needed something more upbeat to get us going. Mike popped in the Lemonheads' new album "Lick." This Boston band's sound is punk but with definite pop influences, a la Husker Du and The Descendents. The highli ghts are the band's reworking of Suzanne Vega's hit song "Luka," the captivating "Mallo Cup," and my favorite"7 Powers," a song that blends lyrics from the theme to "All in the Family" with a chorus that reminds you that pop is not a four-letter word. Well that's it for this installment. Be sure to stay tuned for part two when Mike and I discover the natives on the other side of the island. Steve Martin in a family way "Parenthood" scores in reality By DEBBIE SLAUGHTER Appalachian Staff Writer Steve Martin and families. Can they possibly mix? The new movie "Parent­ hood" sems to say they could ... kind of. The moviecenters upon Steve Martin's parents and the families of their four chil­ dren. Steve Martin plays the part of a father fighting to be a "normal" Dad in a family appearing to be anything but your every-day family. The confused father of three is struggling to have a comfortable lifestyle while maintaining a close rela­ tionship with his wife and children. Martin is not alone in his quest to be the parental figure everyone admires. Mar­ tin's brother, two sisters and parents alike seem to be encountering an overwhelm­ ing numberof family disasters on the road to acceptance. One classical scene occurs at Martin's son's birthday party. The expected enter­ tainer, Cowboy Bob, neglects to appear. What happens? Well, of course Dad saves the day as "Cowboy Gill"! Out rides Martin, the coolest dude in town, fully decked out in green chaps, an authentic junior-sized cowboy hat and fully loaded water pistols ready to kill. How could Dad be anything but successful? An equally humorous scene occurs at a family dinner. All the aunts, uncles, cous­ ins, and grandparents have come together for thesurprise homecoming of the young­ est son. The dinner is one of those formal ones where one of the kids always says True, the movie is humorous through­ out. But between the laughter is a reality of true problems that most anyone can relate to. The dilemmas of teen preg­ nancy, adolescent confusion and the re­ sponsibilities of grown children are rele­ vant to today's families.The movie brings a large family together. The family faces every dilemma a family could encounter.

The problems are real; they do happen. They hit home. �Mountaineers to face first SC foe Wooten By KURT C. WARD Assistant Sports Editor Football—it is the greatest sport know to man.

I want you to go; our team deserves total support. t There you have it—a list of 50 reasons why need to attend the re­ maining home football games, of the reasons are better than others, but they all give you something to think about. Our foot ball team, and yes they are our team, is 2-0, ranked seventh in the nation and looking to win their third Southern Conference cham­ pionship, but they cannot do it without our support. Let's fill Kidd I Brewer stadium at the next home game and show our team that we are behind them 100 percent. The Mountaineers will open theirSouthem Conference schedule this Saturday evening at Charleston, S.C., against the Bulldogs of The Citadel. ASU carries a20 record into the 7 p.m. contest while the 'Dogs are 1-0. The Citadel is coming off its best sea­ son in 17 years. In 1988 the Bulldogs compiled an 8-3 regular season mark, finishing third in the conference with a record of 5-2. They finished 14th nation­ ally in the final Division I-AA poll, the first Citadel squad to finish in the top 20. The team received a bid to the I-AA Play­ offs, another first for the school. ASU handed TheCitadel one of its three losses, an ASU 38-14 victory on Sept. 3,1988. The Citadel is directed by Head Coach Charlie Taaffe, who begins his third sea­ son at the helm. In 1988 Taaffe wasnamed Southern Conference Coach of the Year. Taaffe said of last season: "We showed signs of maturity in 1988. In my first year (1987), wefound ways to lose close games. Last year, we found ways to win." Taaffe "s winning ways came compli­ ments of a strong wishbone offense. The same offense will be employed this sea­ son with a veteran backfield. The offensive strategy will be centered around senior all-conference selection Adrian Johnson. Taaffe calls Johnson a real workhorse ... a classic wishbone full­ back." Joining Johnson in the backfield is junior halfback Raymond Mazyck, who started in 11 of the squad's 12 games last year. Also at the halfback slot are Tom Frooman and Harold Singleton, who both started in 1987 but missed all of 1988 because of injuries. Mountaineer Coach Jerry Moore com­ mented on The Citadel's offensive style: "Like most of the academies, they have gone to the wishbone, for it doesn't re­ quire much practice time. It is a very disciplined offense and they do a good job with it. Coming from Army, Charlie (Taaffe) has a strong wishbone back­ ground. Three or four of their backs were at or near the top in seven or eight offen­ sive categories last season." Moore's thoughts on defending against the wishbone included: "To defend against the wishbone, everyone on defense has to be disciplined as well, just as the offense. You must be careful not to get twodefend­ ers on one person. Each defender has a man tocover, and they must follow through on their assignment. They can't decide to double-up because the ball carrier always has the option to pitch." Despite the strength in the backfield. The Citadel lost some key players on the offensive side. Missing are Gene Brown, the quarterback that was the Southern Conference and SouthCarolinaOffensive Player of the Year, as well as offensive guard Carlos Avalos. Avalos was a con­ sensus All-American selection and the winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy for South Carolina. As quarterback, Brendon Potts gets the nod this season. Potts, a 5-foot-10, 180pound junior, did not throw a pass during the 1988 season, and his only two runs went for a loss of six yards. Others who may see action behind center are Mike Brotnick and Jack Douglas. The Bulldogs lost three of last year's starters from the offensive line. However, the 'Dogs had depth last season and will have experience at the positions this year. See SC page 7 Appalachian RITCHIE MELCHOR CARRIES THE BAIL ONE OF HIS 23 TIMES AGAINST GARDNERWEBB.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. New members inducted into the hall of fame By ROGER WATSON Appalachian Staff Writer I The Mountaineer's first home game was special because of Coach Jerry Moore's debut and a 43-7 ASU win over Gardner Webb. It was also special because of inductions to the Appalachian State University Halt of Fame. She Swanson of the ASU Athletic Department explained the qualifica­ tions for being inducted into the Hall Apps square off against Mars Hill By KAREN POPE Appalachian Sua Writer The Mountaineer soccer team hosted Mars Hill,Tuesday, Sept. 12. AS U brushed off a sluggish start by pulling through the night with a 2-0 win over Mars Hill. Both teams kept a competitive attack throughout the beginning minutes of the game. The defense remained tough on both sides as neither team was able to score. With 28:26 left on the clock in the first half, Rudi Schmoll moved the ball around the Mars Hill goal, but a diving save by the goalie kept ASU from scoring. Time continued to tick off the clock as Doug Kidd passed to Jeremy Mittag who bunted the ball with his head barely missing the top of the net. With just under three min­ utes remaining in the half, Scott Griffith had a straight shot for the goal, but unfor­ tunately it was once again stopped solid by the Mars Hill goalie. Ten seconds later, ASU's Mike Dehner also had a kick for the goal, but again the goalie dove to stop the ball. Then, before the half was over, with two minutes re­ maining Jason Levergood tries unsuccess­ fully for a goal. The score was 0-0 at the half. As the second half of the game began, Griffith kicked downfield attempting again to score, but the ball sailed over the top of the goal. Three minutes later, Griffith again sees an opportunity to score, but the Mars Hill goalie stopped the attempt. ASU's John Bond in return tries for the goal but fails to score. With 31:49 remaining on the clock. Bond threw the ball in-bounds to Carlos Lee, who responded by head bunting it into the goal. Scoring the first goal of the night. With 14:11 ticked off the clock in the second half, the Mountaineers led the game 1-0. Ten minutes later, Lee jumped into the offensive action once again. Lee brought the ball downfield, faked out the Mars Hill goalie, and scored. Appalachianhad gained the second goal of the night. 18:50 remained in the game as Lee passed to Mittag for another try in scoring, but unfortunately the play did not work! While the Mountaineers had solid scoring ground to stand on, they still kept up their guard. A minute later there was substitu­ tion for both teams. Mittag and Andy Salandy came to the bench for a rest as Levergood returned and Cogie Reed en­ tered for ASU. As Mars Hill tried for the goals and brought back their defense in the final minutes of the game, they were still un­ able to score against the Mountaineers. Thus, polishing off the night for Appala­ chian with a 2-0 victory over Mars Hill. The Mountaineers will face conference foe Marhall at 2 p.m. on Sunday in Kidd Brewer Stadium. of Fame: "First of all you have to be out of school for five years. It is open to former coaches and athletes who performed well on the field and showed good character both on and off the field. A nomination form is sent to former athletes and those forms are then forwarded to a Board of Directors. The Board then sends the remaining nominees to the Hall of Fame Committee who decide the nominees." The first of the inductees into the Hall of Fame this year was Carol Al­ mond. Almond was a four-time AllState and All-Conference player for the Lady Mountaineer basketball team. She was the first to receive a women's athletic scholarship at ASU. In her playing career she started in every game and scored 1,158 points in her four seasons. She led the Moun­ taineers in season scoring and field goal percentage for two straight seasons and also led the team in free throw percentage for three seasons. Seven years after graduating from ASU, Almond spent two years as an assistant coach in the UNC-Chapel Hill program. She moved up to a head coaching position at Clinch Valley College in Wise, Virginia before returning to ASU as an assistant coach. Jim Ollis was also an honored in­ ductee. Ollis was a member of the Mountaineer football team from 1952-56, lettering all four years. Ollis was the leading rusher for the Moun­ taineers for three seasons. In his senior year, Ollis was voted the "Best Ail-Round Male Student." From 1961 to 1973 he served as a professor and coach at St. Andrews Presbyterian College. Ollis is active in all levels of the Jaycees and in 1985 he was inducted into the Jaycee Hall of Leadership. Ollis and his wife, Mary Kay, have three children and four grandchildren. Mountaineers.

Tailback Ritchie Melchor must have a good game, and so must fullback Kevin Hart, The Mountaineer offensive line led by first team all-conference pick Derrick Graham, should be able to give the backs some running room. The Citadel s defensive squad is very youna Only two positions, strong safety and cornerback, are being filled by seniors. In fact four defensive positions are filled by sophomores The Citadel s defense may prove to be the downfall or an otherwise solid club Defense possing Kicking ASU's defense is solid. All three starters from last year are back in the defensive backfield. The defensive line, anchored by se­ cond team all-conference pick Chris Conner should put some pressure on Citadel quarter­ back Brandon Potts. The Mountaineer linebackers, including returning starters Xeno Williams and Johnny Jennings, as well as leading tackier Dwayne Pelham, should be able to handle the Bulldog's rushing attack The Citadel is a team which is not exactly known for its passing skills, since it runs a wishbone offense. Also, junior quarterback Brendon Potts has had only limited playing time in his two seasons as reserve quarter­ back for the Bulldogs. Add all of this to the aforementioned inexperienced offensive line, and the results look less than impressive, F°r ,he Mountaineers, surprising freshman quarterback D.J. Campbell, along with ace receivers Joe Briggs and Kemal Atkins, should be able to keep the Citadel's inex­ perienced secondary busy. Campbell may also be able to gain some yardage on the ground against a very shaky Bulldog defen­ sive line. Offensive guard Charles Wallace will be starting his third season and RickBrodsky returns to start at offensive tackle. Two proven starters return to fill posi­ tions at the receiving posts.

Davis, the team's third leading tackier in 1988, has been moved from outside to inside linebacker this year. Jay Johnson returns to complement the defensive back­ field. Jackson started all 12 games for The Citadel in 1988. Missing, however, is J.D. Cauthen, an all-state backfield performer. Senior Hank Bumss returns to handle the kicking duties for the year. Burriss hit a school record 40 of 41 extra-point at­ tempts last season. Serving double duty, he also punted for an average of 37.4 yards. «lj i the night away. . .

Boone environment must be protected As we move into our tenth decade, ASU is embarking on an era of expansion which raises questions involving environmental safety and adeauate planning. "Phase one" of the university's long-range plan includes: the new College of Business building, an addition to Owen's Field House, a new west-campus food service facility, a new academic support building, parking decks, campus housing facilities and an addition to Plemmons Student Union. Also, a new 13,000 seat coliseum is slated for construction. Power in the world today is mostly based on money. The money and power of drug lords could easily be taken away and placed in America. Eighty percent of the money made from the sale of cocaine in the United States is controlled by one organi­ zation in Mendellin,Colombia, which is powerful enough to engagein battle with theColombian government. The American government could take away this power by legalizing drugs and cashing in on strictly controlled legal sales. Those who chose to make drugs a part of their lives would have to deal with self-inflicted conse­ quences, but there would no longer be the problem of violent criminal armies threatening the innocent public. Wealth is what sets drug dealers apart from other criminals. Through the sale of cocaine, the Mendellin Cartel in Colombia has accumulated enough capital to finance a war against its own country. This kind of chaos can only be fueled by funds raised through the high price sale of contraband. A1 Capone knew the game, illegal gambling and liquor sales during prohibition financed his crime kingdom and many oth­ ers, until Franklin Delano Roosevelt repealed the 18th amendment. So while President Bush is scrambling for funds to feed his anti-drug program, he might consider the alternative of legalizing drugs. First, if the United States established a system of gov­ ernment production and distribution for drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine and heroin, the crime and killing associated with the drug trade could be curtailed. Of course, such a system would create new addicts and in turn, more deaths by overdose. But what's worse, indi­ viduals killing themselves by choice, or individuals being murdered in the crossfire of a bad drug deal?

In fact, this year has been declared the "Appalachian and Stripes. The Supreme Court's recent decision in thecase of flag burning can be Year of the Environment." These pledges must be upheld for the considered one of its poorest decisions future well-being of the area. ASU and the Boone area have a unique ever. The Supreme Court is so obsessed charm which must be preserved. The merits of this university need to with protecting every special interest be judged in terms of quality of education, not the number of attending groiijj's rights that they forget about main­ students or the number of campus buildings. stream America. They forget what our Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette confirmed at the Constitution was founded upon: respect, Board of Governor's meeting that campus expansion will do damage to honor and, most importantly, love for the the environment. He also indicated that the North Carolina Legislature United States of America. The decision to will be asked to approve funding for environmental restoration What allow people on our own soil to burn position would the university be in if the legislature rejects funding? America's symbol is a slap in the face to Student fees, which are continually increasing, should not have to the ideals on which we were founded. Many pro-flag burning activists fall back bear the brunt of this restoration. ASU has been known as a relatively inexpensive but high quality institution. It would be inappropriate if on "freedom of expression" guaranteed by our Constitution. The question is: Where the university became accessible only to the wealthy. are we going to draw the line between Another problem which might be compounded by university expan­ sion is the traffic situation in Boone. Even during the summer, when many of the students are not in town, traffic is still congested. Plainly, an increase in the university size could only have a negative effect on traffic. what is offensive to traditional American ideals and what is guaranteed by the Constitution? Certain acts of expression in our society aresimply considered wrong and uncouth; therefore, they have laws against them.For example, it is against the lawtowalkdownMainS treet naked.Why is indecent exposure against the law? It is against the law because it is very offensive to mainstream America. Almost everyone is very appalled to see someone express­ ing himself by walking around naked. In the same respect, almost everyone feels that burning the country's flag, which we love, is offensive; therefore, we should have a law against it. Burning the American flag shows a real lack of respect for our country and for those people who died for our freedom. They die for our country in war so that we can have liberty, and these people bum our country's symbol right before our very eyes. Should this be legal? Flag burners often say that our flag is only a symbol, and they think that burning a symbol is no big deal.This is such a lame argument for flag burning. Symbols are something very important to us because they immediately trigger a feeling, good or bad, about something. For example, when we see the German Swastika, we immediately think of the prejudice and hatred of the Nazis. Seeing the American flag should impel us to proudly think of all our country has to offer: democracy, free­ dom and opportunity. If a person does not think of these attributes when he sees the American flag, he has no right bum it in front of patriots, but he does have the right to catch the next flight out of the country. The American flag signifies the United States, and when the flag is burned, then everything which the country stands for is burned. Essentially, the person who burning the flag is saying, "I disliketl country." Why else would someone bt the United States' symbol? If he has problem with a specific policy of ourgc ernment, then that is all right, and should be allowed to express hisdisagn ment. But he should disagree by exprc. ing himself with class, perhaps throu writing about the problem or through te ing his senator. In the United States we should ham ourselves with dignity, and we shoi show respect for our country. What ki of a statement is allowing flag burni going to make for our children?

Expansion space is extremely limited. Administrators must take great care in the future planning of the university. The campus has many verdant common areas which highlight the architectural layout of campus. These areas should be preserved and enhanced. The Boone Town Council has also taken justified interest in university expansion. Trivette was asked to address the council last year concerning this mat­ ter. Both the university and the town have a vested interest in these plans. Therefore, the university has an obligation to uphold its pledge to the area's environment. It would be unfortunate if in five years, alumni returning to their alma mater did not even recognize it.

Frank Lloyd Wright American Architect THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Would Jim and Tammy get into Heaven By J. ANTHONY ADAMS Appalachian Staff WrlUr pretty quick way to make a buck, Jim decided to sell more cans of beer than he had. Well, when it was timefor everybody to receive the merchandise they had paid for, Jim came up short. Jim realized too late that he should have skipped the country with the extra cash he had made, because later that night his pals came into his room and punched him repeatedly in the nose. Hopefully, the jury in Charlotte will decide to 'punch' Jim in the nose. Jim could get up to 120 years in jail, but will probably get the equivalent of an Ollie North hand-slap. However, no matter what the outcome, it looks like the saga of Jim Bakker is far from over, because Tammy First, I must clear the air about some­ thing; I am completely prejudiced con­ cerning the trial of Jim Bakker that is going on in Charlotte. You know, Jim'son trial for allegedly fooling around with pledged money. My opinion is that he is completely guilty and should be hung from the highest point of the Heritage Grand Hotel by his toenails. But since this is a personal opinion, it should not be considered just punishment if, in fact, Bakker is found guilty. Obviously, a just punishment would be crucifixion at the gates of the Heritage U.S.A. theme park. It seems that the trial will go on as scheduled, a point which was in doubt after Bakker suddenly assumed fetal posi­ tion and started babbling in his attorney's office a few days ago (a brilliant strategic move that failed). This gave folks the impression that Jim had finally gone off the deep end. Never fear, everybody's favorite corrupt evangelist is not crazy. Well, perhaps I had better define crazy. Sure, he's "crazy," but he's not mentally ill. Well...O.K., let's put it like this—he might be crazy, but he can sure enough To the Editor: (and will) stand trial for what he did (or In a recent letter to "The Appala­ might have done.) chian, Scott Lindsley and Steve Now, what Jim is officially charged Carithers express their concern about with is using ministry funds, about a mil­ Boone's noise ordinance and suggest lion dollars worth, to support the lavish that students vote against me in the lifestyle to which he and his wife, Tammy upcoming election as a remedy.

Ask about add on options. Appalachian Columnist It seems as if ASU Security has dropped the ball again. Apparently with all the construction going on around campus, the school has lost approximately 100 parking spaces. Last year, spaces were lost when con­ struction began on the new business building. Now spaces are being lost near Duck Pond Field to compensate for the new Food Services outlet. It turns out that Security issued 100 more stickers than it has parking spaces.To deal with this shortage of parking spaces Security has found it necessary to relocate approximately 100 cars, predominately out of Stadium Lot (A lot). These students are being placed in J lot and up behind the Broyhill Inn. The ASU Security Office apparent­ ly has taken 100 students at random and relocated their parking spaces. When students purchase a parking space, they sign a contract with the university to park their car on campus for the year. This is a legal contract issued only on the present avalability of parking spaces. When stickers were issued to these students, parking spaces should have been available and ASU Security should not have had the right to revoke or relocate a student's parking rights when the causes are not directly related to their individual ac­ tions. It looks like the university feels it has no obligation to respect the con­ tract between itself and its students. Meanwhile much emphasis is placed on the contracts between the school and students concerning such revenue-generating activities as hous­ ing and payment of tuition and fees. The administration could have prevented a lot of problems if it had handled this situation differently. For instance, simply taking the last 100 people who applied for parking spaces and relocating them to the outer lots would have been just as af­ fective; it would have just required a bit more effort on the part of the ad­ ministration and ASU Security. Another solution would have been to weed-out those who give false ad­ dresses to Security in order to get commuter parking. These bozos get spots right on campus, when in ac­ tuality, they only live right up the street. Another effective solution, and slightly more traditional, would have been to relocate the parking spots of underclassmen. It's a dog-eat-dog world and in my book, seniority always rules. The university owns plenty of land adjoining the campus. Construction of new buildings has taken away parking spaces. With all the land available to the school for expansion why would new buildings be plopped down in the middle of parking lots? If the locations of these buildings had no feasible alternatives, the ad­ ministration could have at least replaced these spots with another parking lot elsewhere on campus. Instead the hastily-built and shoddily-constructed lot was built on the former site of the Dougherty House. The only solution the ad­ ministration has offered is the pro­ mise of a parking deck which will be wedged between Justice and Coltrane Residence Halls. This project will not get underway for another 18 to 24 months and will probably take an ad­ ditional nine to 12 months to com­ plete. So, in essence, the administra­ tion is talking about three years to solve a very immediate and serious problem. ASU is a growing school. It is understood that with an added number of students come an added number of problems; that is not where the trouble lies. The trouble arises when the administration fails to deal with these problems in an effec­ tive and efficient manner. Changes need to be made and they need to be made now. This is a problem that needs attention now, not in three years. Problems such as these need to be solved if ASU is to maintain the good reputation it has earned over the years.

"There was an especially high turnout for on campus-voting," he said. Scales said he thought senate repre­ sentatives have the potential to learn a lot about the way ASU works. "Being in the senate gives students an opportunity to learn a great deal about the university," Scales said."Not only can they learnmore about the business side of it, but the edu­ cational side as well." SGA President Mike Scales said he was very enthusiastic about the election of thenew representatives and the senate's upcoming year. "I think that there's more student interest in the senate this year than any other," Scales said. "We're really flabbergasted by the response.

Altogether Lee was sentenced to four con­ secutive life terms for first-degree rape, and an additional 15 years forkidnapping androbbery. This Wednesday at 11 a.m., ASU will celebrate its 91st birthday witha convoca­ tion ceremony at Varsity Gym at 11 a.m. The keynote speaker will be Maya Angelou, noted author and civil rights activist. Her address will deal with "The Politics of Race." ASU Chancellor John Thomas called Angelou "top notch," calling the subject of which she will address "particularily important for the campus as a whole." Assistant Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Dr. Edwin Arnold referred Jo Angelou as a great communicator"who promises to be an inspiration to all who attend." Cancellation of classes wasnotrequired by ASU Provost Harvey Durham or Tho­ mas, but both officialshave requested that all classes scheduled during the appointed time of the convocation be cancelled by individual professors. Classes scheduled to begin at 10:00 am have also been re­ quested to not meet so ample time can be given for students, faculty and staff to assemble in Varsity Gym. Dr. Joel Thompson, chairperson of the political science/criminal justice depart­ ments, said all professors in his departmenthave cancelled any classesthat would interfere with assembling students into Varsity Gym, ot any class scheduled dur­ ing Angelou's speaking time. "Obviously, this is a subject of keen interest for everyone involved in the de­ partment," Thompson said. Chancellor Thomas said ASU staff workers and their supervisors also have been invited to take part in the ceremony. "I do realize that many staff workers are ill areas of which a lull operating staff is critical,"ChancellorThomas said,"so full attendance by ASU employees can't be done." The chancellor said he encourages anyone with a chance to come to the as­ sembly to please do so. Thompson stated the importance of a convocation at many other universities as the formal start of the academic year.

Blimling, who previously servedas dean of students for nine years at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, was ap­ proved to the vice chancellorship in April after a nationwide search by a committee of ASU students, faculty and administra­ tion. According to Blimling, a good leader must have vision for the organization, the ability to communicate and the ability to create an environment so everyone in­ volved can also join in the vision of the leader. Two months into his postof heading the student development department, Blimling has already done preliminary research on the streamlining of development. New programs on the forefront of Blimling's agenda include proposals for a new childcare center on campus planned to begin Alpha Tau Omega joins fraternity fold By LAURA BABINEAU Appalachian Staff Writer Alpha Tau Omega will become the 11th fraternity on campus this year, re­ placing Omega Psi Phi as amember on the ASU Interfraternity Council. Associate Director of the Center for Student Development and Leadership Dino DiBernardi said the university is taking its first steps to expand the number of fraternities on campus. The last broth­ erhood invited into the council was Delta Chi, admitted in 1986. Pi Kappa Alpha w ill also join theIFC at alaterdate. Thecurrentplan, according to IFC President John McPherson, is to let one groupgainstability and thenletanother group find members. McPherson said. "The same action was taken when Delta Chi and Sigma Nu were invited onto the campus. Sigma Nu was invited first, and when they became stable, then Delta Chi was allowed to rush. The Interfraternity Council began an expansion study in 1989. Representatives of three national fraternities—Alpha Tau Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Pi came to ASU to present their ideas of academic, social, service and leadership requirements behind each of their orga­ nizations, according to Mike Kent, coor­ dinator of expansion for A.T.O. Alpha Tau Omega was chosen over Pi Kappa Alphaand Sigma Pi becauseA.T.O. is willing to provide extra time and effort in the installation process of building a chapter, according to McPherson. DiBernardi said, "A new chapter at ASU will provide new blood and new ideas as well as establishing traditions not set by the already existing fraternities on campus." According to McPherson, Pi Kappa Alpha will receive an invitation to begin their rush next fall. Sigma Pi was not chosen for an expansion chapter at ASU. "Sigma Pi is not conducive to the atmo­ sphere of ASU nor do they have an ex­ pansion commitment laid down like A.T.O.," McPherson said. A.T.O will beginrecruiting onTuesday, Sept. 18 through Wednesday, Sept. 26 at the I.F.C. office in room 205, Workman Hall. Rush events to promote A.T.O will be held on Sept. 20, 24 and 25. Kent will be available to speak to any interested students. Keruxommentedtha^ the new chapter will be successful: "ASU is ready forexpans ion, theuniversity itself is growing and there are high quality students. These qualities are what we look for when we pick from the top of the list." Kent said he hopes to start the chapter with 40 to 50 men who will be the founding fathers for the ASU chapter. DiBernardi stated the new chapter should be exciting to students because "A.T.O. will appeal to non-traditional people who looked at the present frater­ nities and prefer a different approach." McPherson said, "Hopefully A.T.O. won't fit in at all. We are looking for a change and to broadenhorizons. I believe that A.T.O was chosen not only on the basis of their credentials, but that they may set a pace to help and strengthen our Greek system." In other related Greek news.Omega Psi Phi is no longer a recognized fraternity at ASU. According to DiBernardi, the or­ ganization didn't meet national hcadquarter's requirements for a chapter. Tau Kappa Epsilon is no longer on probation after meeting certain national requirements.

(CPS) - The murders of five collegians in and around the University of Florida within three days have left the campus community in a state of panic, provoking some students to leave campus and others to hold protective slumber parties. "We can't emphasize too much that students and other members of the community have to be keenly and intensely aware of security issues," said John Lombardi, president of UF, which invited off-campus students to move into newly secured on-campus dorms. All five of the slain students-two of whom attended nearby Sante Fe Community College - were found within two miles of the UF campus. University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana also have raised concerns and complaints about safety in the wake of an Aug. 13 murder of a student in her off-campus apartment. Texas Lt. Gov.

(CPS) - Rutgers University official David Bums said Aug. 22 dial his school had become the first in the country to stop giving scholarships to RO TC students because of ROTC's policy banning homosexuals from the military. Following ROTC s ultimately futile efforts in March to retrieve scholarship money from students at Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who it ultimately found out were gay, more than 20 campus presidents signed letters to the Pentagon asking it to change its policy. None of the schools, however, has yet carried out a threat to disassociate from the ROTC program.

BRODIE AppaUchUnSUfTWrlUr Appalachian and the Community Together (ACT) is a campus organization through which volunteering students can help make a positive change in the Boone area. ACT began three years ago as a local chapter of the Student Community Service Project, a national organization which enlists the help of high school and college students in performing community service projects. Professor John Turner from the sociology and social work department at ASU requested agrant tohave theprogram instatedhere. The conditions were that ASU would contribute more and more money each year until, at the end of three years, the university would assume full re­ sponsibility for the project. But when problems arose, it was the new vice chancellor of student development Dr. Greg Blinding who saved the program. Because Blinding considers student in­ volvement and community service essential to the climate of a college campus, he worked to Fmd the funds needed to keep the program in operation. According to Jill Morton, the new director of ACT, a plus for becoming involved is that it gives people experience they can take with them in the work force. Through volunteering, students de­ velop interpersonal skills, crisis intervention tech­ niques, learn how a human service organization works and get a change to give something back to society. A new feature of ACT this year is VISTA volunteers. VISTA stands for Volunteers in Ser­ vice to America. Each VISTA volunteer addresses a particular issue in the community and mobilizes resources and other volunteers to help alleviate the concern. The projects being tackled this year by the group are providing better availability to nutrition programs, day-care for homeless children, a more affordable health care facility, and school drop-out prevention at the eighth grade level. The drop-out prevention program will place volunteers in a mentor role with risk students. The volunteers and eighth graders will then perform community service projects together in an effort to build the youths' self-esteem. The planners of this program hope this will in turn provide motivation for them to continue their education. Service in ACT is limited only by your desire to help and includes activities that range from assist­ ing with meal delivery for the elderly and tutoring children to working with OASIS, a help network for battered women and rape victims. If you are interested in working with ACT you can contact Morton in Room 113 of the Plemmons Student Union. Becoming a volunteer is a simple process of Filling out an application, taking part in a brief interview during which you discuss your strengths and interests, and participating in an allday training program. Morton said this process is helpful to agencies in the community because they know an ACT volunteer has been screened and will be more reliable than someone who walks in off the street. Morton sees volunteerism as a growing trend. "People are realizing that social programs are escalating at such a rate that if you're not a part of the solution, then you're part of the problem. We can no longer sit back. People must take a personal responsibility in their community," Morton said. mmmgmm Women veterans featured {on just got here.

Too bad I can't say The Vietnam War was not just a man's war. It lie same thing for the place that used to be in there years ago. Ever heard stories about the ~ j,nrian Inn? Of course, nobody in his right by the official name. It was town around the world as the "B.I.," which stood for Bloated Intestine, Bad uind called it Illumination, Botulism Institute or, the most common term, the Bad Idea. The only thing Bavarian about the place was the food. Nazi cooks made the burgers personally for Hitler, but since Shawn O'Neal . Adolf killed 'himself before he could eat one of the burgers (which could have killed him anyway), they were shipped to Boone instead. A few general rules were held sacred by all who tie there. 1) Don't come too hungry. 2) Don't eat anything you can't see. 3) Don't ask when a burger was cooked. Idon't want to express too many of my bad thoughts about B.I. burgers, but an archaeolo­ gist friend of mine used to loan us all his Carbon-14 kit so we could find out how old the nndwiches were. The burgers were put on a carrousel known throughout the campus as "The Wheel of Death." Some of the items on the wheel were attended for addition to the Berlin Wall back in but they ended up here. Maybe I went a little overboard in my eseription of the B.I. To my knowledge there we no deaths, but Food Court meals couldn't tld their weight in cholesterol against the ormer eatery in the same spot. Shawn: Hey, Cynic. Here are those tenders. me three bucks.

But little has been written about these women who suffer from the same post-traumatic stress disorders, were exposed to Agent Orange and were subjected to the same post-war prejudices as their male counterparts. "The Other Side of War" is a collection of videotaped interviews of women who served in the Vietnam War compiled over the past year by Dr. Fred Milano, a sociology professor at ASU. Milano teaches a course on the sociology of war. A lack of information on women Vietnam veterans led him to produce the video. "What little literature available is in the field of nursing, a military gender role accepted by the public," Milano said. "The role of women in the armed services has been severely neglected," he said. "I feel some of thathas beenintentional."Milano said aresistance still exists from government and military leaders to accept the fact that womfen were wounded, killed and mutilated in the war. It has been estimated that between 7,000 and 55,000 women were stationed in Vietnam during the war. A1981 government report says the actual number can't be documented. Eight women were killed in Vietnam. Those who served in the war were predominantly nurses and Red Cross vol­ unteers. With the help of a grant from the university's faculty development center, Milano captured the powerful emotions of those he interviewed— material he said was toorich to leave to the written word. Of the handful of veterans he located in North Carolina, Milano found few of the women were willing to talk about their experiences. Even after 20 years, (for those who were willing to talk) the memories remained painful. "I felt like a different person after the war," said one nurse. "It was like I didn't belong here." Another nurse from the Charlotte area described herself as a "Margaret Houlihan" (the head nurse in "MASH") type."As a nurse and officer, I had to hide my feelings while on duty. Iremained numbed and withdrawn when I returned to the states." The women veterans, whose average age was in the early 20s while stationed in Vietnam, spoke of losing their youth while in the service and having to grow up fast. One said she learned a lot and was a better nurse because of her military experience. Many of the veterans said they were glad Milano had undertaken the interview project, but they were afraid they would lose control of their emotions and that the interview would unleash hidden feelings. The female veterans said they experienced the same rejections that the male veterans did when they returned to the states. "I wasnot welcomed whenI joined theAmerican Legion," one said. "Since I am awomen, I was told I wasn't a true veteran. Even my father said that my war was not as important as his—World War II." A Charlotte nurse found a different type of discrimination. She was among the thousands of soldiers exposed to Agent Orange and has had to fight for disability benefits awarded to the male veterans because of the defoliant's side effects.

Meister, with the use of recordings of his Steely Pan Band, can hear what Mozart would sound like on the steel pan drums. Many music education graduates are already finding similar electronic equipment in their school's music programs, Meister said. The graduates have found they need the experience provided in the course. For about the same cost of a good piano, school systems can purchase a syn­ thesizer that with programmed compositions, al­ lows students to play or sing along with a com­ puterized orchestra or string quartet. Unlike a recording, the synthesized compositions can be tailored to fit student skills, adjusting tempo or pitch to fit their abilities. Now that the music lab is a reality, Meister's next goal is to find funding to add the space and equipment needed for additional studios and re­ hearsal labs to give more students a chance for hands-on experience. Meister said lab time is es­ sential to the electronic music course. Because of the limited amount of space available now, the course is limited to 10 music majors this fall. �1 The Appalachian.

See TOURNEY page 6 By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Staff Writer This year's ASU men's cross country team offers a top five consisting of expe­ rienced leaders and talented newcomers who have the coaching staff very excited at the possibilities of repeating as con­ ference champions. "I think our chances of repeating as conference champs arevery good,"stated third-year assistant Paul Goewey. "Our team is better than last year. We should suprise a lot of teams." According tohead coach A1 Fereshetian, also in his third year, the main obstacles between ASU and a championship repeat will again be East Tennessee State and Marshall. To overcome these obstacles, the Mountaineers pack anarsenal ofyoung talent along with the team's only senior, captain Brad Dopson. Dopson, who will make the move from second to first seed, will be faced with the task of replacing Pete Vandenberg, who was lost to graduation. The rest of the top five will include the other team captain, Todd Walters, along with juniors Dave Ess and Danny Ledford and freshman Billy Pemberton. Ledford, who took last year off, and Ess, who was plagued with injuries, are said by the coaches to be looking strong and are expected to contribute a great deal to the App's cause. Pemberton, a freshman who led his West Springfield High team to the Virginia state title and a fourth place finish nationally, will also be a bright spot in the Mountaineer attack. Goewey said the team as a whole has set two goals for themselves. One, to repeat as Southern Conference champi­ ons and two, to do well in the regionals. "This year's team is close and we are running as a pack," Goewey said. "We look good at times and at times we don't," Fereshetian said. "It's too early to tell." Both coaches seem very excited about the team's potential and agree that the team,too, seems excited to get things un­ derway. The squad has beenpracticing formally since Aug. 20 and is under a vigorous training program. "We usually practice twice a day and try to include cross training in the pool," Goewey said. "The team usually does a long runof 15 to 20 miles once a week and are working very hard." on the play is Wake split end Bobby Jones(85). The Deacs went on to take a 23-12victory in the non-conferencebattle atGroves Stadium in Winston-Salem. Women vying for state title ByLYDIA CRAVER Appalachian StafTWrltcr The women's cross country squad is preparing for what should be another victorious season, according to head coach John Weaver. The Lady Apps, who are coming off last season's North Carolina Collegiate Championship and Southern Conference Championship titles, return two all-con­ ference letterers in senior Traci Mclntyre and junior Heidi Barger. In addition to Mclntyre and Barger, Weaver expects strong performances from seniors Jennifer Bowers and Laura Girouard and junior Dee Anna Davis. "Right now, Davis and Barger seem to be emerging as the team leaders,"Weaver said. ASU's"Best All Time Cross Country Times" lists Davis ninth with 18:40.4 and Barger 10th with 18:42.0 on the 5,000 meter course. However, no times have been recorded for the 1990 season. Weaver said there will also be a lot of new talent on the Mountaineer squad this Senior Leigh Cooper, who returns to the circuit after taking a season off to recover from an injury, should also be solid for the Mountaineers, as will juniors Janet Osada and Julie Anderson, Weaver said. Weaver, aseven-year coaching veteran, feels very confident of this year's squad. "We should certainly be favoredthis year," he said. ".. .we have a very good shot at first place." Weaver believes the squad can be just as successful as last year's championship team, despite the loss of all-conference standouts Whitney Ball and Vanessa Kosmala. "Rightnow, our squad is'looking pretty solid," Weaver said. "If we continue im­ proving over thenextmonth, as we should, we will be ready for the championship meets in October."

ASU quickly countered with a goal by Carlos Lee on a combined assist from David Terry and Jim Belts. From then on, both teams waged a seesaw battle, with South Carolina nurs­ ing a one-goal lead. With 50 seconds left in the match, ASU was dealt a fatal blow as the referee awarded South Carolina a 55 controversial penalty kick as the result of a foul called on the Mountaineers. "After 90minutes of play out in the heat and humidity, I thought it was a very unnecessary call," ASU Head Coach Art Rex said. Nevertheless, the Gamecocks scored on the ensuing kick and defeated ASU by a final score of 4-2. Rex stated he was pleased with his team's performance over its first three matches." Our level of play has remained consistent throughout, and if we maintain that consistency, then we're going to win a lot of games," Rex said. Rex also believes thedifficultyof ASU's early season schedule may work to the team's advantage later in the season. "We've gained experience and have been through pressure situations which will re­ ally help us when we get into conference play," Rex said. Appalachian State's overall record now stands at 1-2.

The game marked the third time in his career that Williams has covered over •Saturday evening's clash. Also covering on the play is ASU defensive end W.C. lOOyards on the ground, with his first 100-yard game coming against the MountainMurphy (92). Williams led the Demon Deacon ground attack Saturday with 113 yards eers in 1988. Tommy Councill Owner/Stylist 101 Meadowvir• Deacs "They (Wake) accepted the challenge this year; they made up their mind what they were going to do,"Moore continued. Their coaches did a great job preparing them for the ball game. "We just weren't opportunistic enough tonight," he said. "Football is a momen­ tum game, and we didn't have it tonight." Continued from page 5 ti°n pitch and Wake teammate Dwayne Brown recovered the ball just 19 yards shy of the end zone. Four plays later. Wake extended its lead to 23-5 as Rogers went over the top of the 1 ine from one yard away.ASU'sSteveWilks charged in and blocked the extra point attempt. The ensuing kick off set up App's only touchdown scoring drive of the night. Campbell completed five of seven passes on the drive, which covered 77 yards in 3:39. The score came as Reaves carried the ball into the end zone on a sweep right from one yard out. Millson's point nar­ rowed the Wake lead to 11,23-12, where it remained as the Deacons chewed up the remaining 3:25 with their ground attack. "Even at the last, dealing with Five or six minutes to go, it looked like we could get in it," Moore said. "But we never really consistently shut them down. With the loss, the Mountaineers move to 1-1 on the year. They will have next weekend off and travel to face another Division I-A Atlantic Coast Conference school, Clemson, on Sept. 22.

McGee was particularly pleased with the play of Wade, who committed no hitting errors during the match. "Wade (who played on the right side), really stood out," McGee said.

Students, faculty and staff should not only go to hear the convocation pker, Maya Angelou, but also should remember the spirit of convocation rfiile they attend this worthwhile event. Last year, ASU held its first convocation in years so that ASU's students, cultyand staff could start the year off feeling a sense of togetherness. Not nly does this event allow the university community to hear renowned [takers, but it also gives everyone a chance to catch his or her breath at the eginning of the semester and to realize that ASU is once again his or her Act now and make a difference It shouldbe a law that U.S. citizens must register to vote We have a power that has been hidden for so very long because so many people refuse to see the importance of casting thatone vote. Many choose to whine and complain about issues they could possibly change. When I hear people complainabout anexisting orpending law, the first thing I ask them is if they are currently registered to vote. If the answer is no, I usually avoid discussing amatter with them that they did not care about until after the fact. Some say that an uninformed vote cast by an individual who knows nothing about the candidates is worse than no vote at all. Viewing the current state of politicians today, I say wehave nothing to lose if we all just get out and vote! democracy game.

My mother always writes in Elvis when she is in doubt or cares nothing for any of the candidates running.

The one that irritates me to no end is that denied to so many in other countries and a freedom we, voting does not make a difference. Think positively — ourselves, send soldiers to protect. voting can make a wonderful difference and is a step in the right direction. Learning as much as possible about candidates will always be the ideal way to have a success­ ful trip to the polls. If you have a strong opinion about an issue then you should make sure you do not vote unknow­ ingly for someone whose policies absolutely repulse you. Less than a month remains for all who wish to register to vote in the upcoming elections. The deadline is Oct. 8 and even though you can register after this date, your vote There are few things in life as boring and perplexing as will not count on Nov. 6. politics. However, if we are to live in the home of the free SGA has made voter registration quite simple for all and the brave, we must vote for those who play the students. From now until Oct. 2, SGA along with the Tough issues face us on Nov. 6 and believe me, the whole nation is watching North Carolina. I do hope you all realize why. If not, then you are part of the problem. If voting happens to be one of those things you have always wondered about but never quite grasped, now is the time to sign up and try. Convocation was rekindled last year in celebration of ASU's 90th birthday, e tradition continues this year as ASU hopes to make it an annual event, lapplaud ASU in its efforts to bring convocation speakers to the university f for holding the event at the beginning of the year. So many times we to into different directions during the school year, but the convocation es everyone the chance to come together as an "Appalachian family" 'ore the year gets well underway. Come to the convocation and support ASU in its efforts to hold an annual •vocation. It's a wonderful chance for the university community to come e or before the year starts. We are lucky that ASU is concerned about the ' entbody enough to put forth the effort to bring talented spakers to the JPus for everyone to see, hear, learn from and enjoy. With student, faculty slaff support, ASU will continue to bring a variety of speakers to the Pachian campus. A quick word to the wise. If you would like to see liquor by the drink in Boone anytime soon, you might want to consider registering in Watauga County. We technically spend more time per year in this county than we do at home; therefore, we are eligible to vote here. I know many of you freshmen and sophomores would love to have a mixed drink when you turn 21 and not have to go all the way to Blowing Rock. I hope this will not be your main reason for registering but hey, if it works, just go do it. Above all I hope you realize the need for Americans to get out and vote. We have the power to put who we want in Washington and Raleigh, and it is about time that we realized the strength of "we the people." If you complain about the way the government is now and find a severe conflict of interest with its policies and procedures, please register and go vote or else, please shut up! People killing other people, with or without guns, is what troubles our society By SAM POLEY Faculty members should cancel classes between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. This entis important to the vitality of the Appalachian family, and each student luldbeallowed to take advantage of this oppurtunity. This instuition isone higher education, and education comes from more than just classroom lures and labs. Every convocation should serve as a learning device from ich we all can benefit. I can hear many of you saying you want to remain registered in you hometown. What you folks need to do is find out about absentee ballots from your home county. I am not just talking to North Carolinians but out-of-state students as well. More gun control won't stop the problems Appalachian Staff Writer This year the university is fortunate enough to have Maya Angelou, a •tented writer and educator, as the main convocation speaker. Angelou is professor at Wake Forest University, a best-selling author, poet, playtight, dancer, actress, producer, director, and civil rights activist. Her (incipal address will be titled, "The Politics of Race." Students should take this opportunity to come hear Angelou address the Diversity community. Don't use this time, if your classes are cancelled, to tepin. Take advantage of thischance to heara great speaker and tobind with How students and neighbors. College Democrats and the College Republicans will have representatives in the Student Union to sign up students. Not only students, but any individual who wishes to register can do so here. This same group will be going to Greek meetings and RSA meetings to increase the aware­ ness of this great service and to help reach the goal of registering 4,000 students. If this is not convienent for you, you can try the board of elections office at the courthouse on King Street. on their 18th birthdays. "This country was founded on guns, guns savedour necks time and time again," said Joe Foss, president of the National Rifle Association. He is right. If it were not for our fore­ fathers, and their guns, we would not have a free country. We would all be disciples of the throne. Does the idea of a monarchy appeal to you? If so, many airlines fly to England; grab the next available flight. If you like America, then you had better get used to the idea of guns. It is part of the foundational basis of our country. It is even in The Constitution of the United States. If you read the Second Amendment, you will see the following written, "A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to bear arms shall be not infringed." Depending on how you read this, hav­ ing a gun almost becomes your constitu­ tional obligation. According to Watauga County Sheriff Red Lyons, it is an obli­ gation to have a gun. Even if I were not a constitutional abso­ lutist, one who takes the constitution lit­ erally, I would still see no need for more gun control. There are all those screaming conser­ vatives in the world who say there should be strict control, when, in fact, there al­ ready is. "As for the automatic guns, machine guns like these Uzis, there's already a registration law requiring people to pay a $200 licensing fee, to get fingerprinted and pass an FBI check before they can buy one of those babies (guns), and in the 55 years we've had that requirement not a single registered automatic has even been used in a crime, not one!" Foss said. Notice that Foss mentioned the word registered. Mostof the guns used are not reg­ istered. If guns are banned, only those individuals who in­ tend to use them for any type of nefarious purpose are going to getthem. And they are going to get them through illegal chan­ nels. According to Foss, "The bad guys, these birds half-bakedon crack who are liable to blast you away or cut you right in half, they're going to get guns and use them no matter how many laws you pass." If guns are banned, you would have to collect all those that are already out there. Then everyone who wanted one, or did own one, would be a criminal. Think about this. If you were going to commit a crime using a gun, would you use one registered with the government? I should think you wouldn't. Then you should think about all those individuals who have legitimate uses for weapons that are not taken into consider­ ation by whatever restrictionist legislation those conservatives would like to pass. What about all the single women who live alone in America? Are you going to deny them their constitutional right, or obligation, to protect themselves? Tryit,Idareyou. Conservatives would wind up with the most severe criticism and law­ suits in their laps that they could ever possibly dream of. According to The New England Journal of Medi­ cine, the total deaths caused by guns in 1986 exceeded 64,000. This is more than the total number of casualties in the Vietnam War. Let us take into consideration the fact that society is larger and more violent than it used to be. The more people you have, the more cases of violence you will have. This is a given. You cannot blame guns for this increase. Guns do not talk, or have an affect on society as a whole by themselves. Just as u If you like America, then you had better get used to the idea of guns. It is part of the foundational basis of our country. 5? guns don't kill people, people kill people, guns don't give guns a bad name, people do. If anything should be blamed for the iriareases in violence in our society, it should be mass media. How many hours a night do you spend in front of the talking box? How much violence do you see? On the order of 30 acts of violence are viewed on prime time television per hour. As for those of you that are fighting for high control legislation, most of the weapons you deem unnecessary for pub­ lic ownership would all still be legal to own, even with strict legislation. If you are for restriction, look at these statistics from Florida. When there was a series of rapes, 3,000 women were trained to use handguns. The rape total dropped 90 percent. A federal survey of2,000 prisoners was conducted to find out who they were more afraid of. Sixty percent said they were more afraid of armed citizens than the police. This is true because police are more heavily monitored as to who they shoot and the situation surrounding the incident. Citizens are not as heavily watched over. These statistics speak for themselves. They speak very loudly. Citizens are making a very strong case for the need to own guns. Taking them away will only open the door for increased crime rates. All this just goes to show you that you cannot deny people their constitutional rights. Ask Joe Foss, he'll tell you. Students and staff THE c|^1 FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON speaking their minds (sarcasm). (Reference commentary, "The Appalachian," Thursday, Aug. 30.) Leave the fighting up to the war professionals To the Editor; Early microscope "That was fast!... Gunther! The Diver Delivery guy is here." It comes as no surprise that someone with such astute credentials on military maneuvers, foreign policy and econom­ ics would have the first "Appalachian" input on the Persian Gulf crisis Mr. Haynes, you made some very interesting observations that are worth discussing. First of all, you are correct in saying that the connections between Vietnam and the Persian Gulf are flimsy...very flimsy. But it seems understandable that any movement of troops would prompt some sort of comparison. Granted, "administrative mistakes" have occurred in Vietnam and other maneuvers, but that is neither here nor now. As for any guilt you think you personally cany, that might well be cured with a quick visit to the VA hospital in Johnson City, Tenn. You'd probably encounter more than one dismembered veteran with a plate in his skull who is proud of his country today and is proud to have served it during the war. It's too bad that you lack that fundamental faith, arms and legs intact. Sec LETTERS page 8 �The Appalachian. Tuesday. September 11. 1990 KAPPA SIGMa Letters Continued from page 7 One of the endeavors of the USA is to uphold freedom in the free world. If you don't think we have an influence on the rest of the world, think back to the remarkable occurrences of 1990 you yourself mentioned: the iron curtain unfolding, the Berlin Wall crumbling. Rest assured that there is concern for South Africa. At the same time realize how far-reaching the repercussions of letting Saddam "Insane" control the world's supply of oil might be. Sure, oil is big business. So is electricity. How helpless are you without power for three days? You don't like bloodshed and coffins...nobody does. But if it were not for the presence of 60,000 U.S. troops in the gulf, you would see much more...over oil...a resource perhaps second only to water in importance. Trust the abilities and professional­ ism of the U.S. military members here and abroad to make the right decisions during this crisis. They're trained professionals, much as you're an up and coming writer. Let them do their job, from the Commander-in-Chief (President Bush) to the infantry soldier. They don't froth at the mouth about the way you write your column. Oh, by the way, President Bush is never on vacation. He's on the job 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can't imagine the hardware that's available to him the instant he needs it...even on the ninth hole. Glenn Voisine Sergeant, USAF Inactive Reserve ASU Box 14589 Coverage of SAC news Maiji Ackerman ASU Box 6548 fails to tell all sides To the Editor: Last week's cover story about the SAC was biased and not researched. Some facts that went unreported are: May 7,1990 ASU's Faculty Senate passed a resolution opposing the construction of the SAC. A Faculty Senate opinion survey showed that 64 percent of the faculty and administrative staff who responded to the survey were opposed to the coliseum. June 11 PASE (People for Academics and a Sustainable Environment) filed a request for reconsideration to the NC Secretary of Administration asking that ASU's environmental assessment findings of "no significant impact" be overturned due to improper and inadequate research. July: the state agrees with PASE and overturns their former decision and requires ASU to re-submit their environmental assessment after conducting a one-year study of their steam plant. The building of the coliseum has been highly controversial and yet "The 1990 GREEK WEEK AND 1990 Appalachian" did not report any of the controversy. Why? Library closing hinders preparation for classrooms To the editor: During the recent Labor Day weekend, a disturbing thought was aroused (again) in me—the thought that ASU is not the academic institution I once thought it to be. The trigger this time was the fact that Belk Library was closed on Labor Day. I find it absolutely appalling and, from an academic standpoint, completely unacceptable for a library at any institution of higher learning to be closed on a day before classes meet. That a library is the place for scholarly research and educational study, and is often the only quiet retreat from dormitory life, has obviously been forgotten at ASU. Closing the library on a day before classes meet is like sending a soldier to war without ammunition; attending class unpre- See LETTERS page 9 CAMPUS INTRADURAL CHAMPIONS ...ENOUGH SAID!

Two hundred sixty people were arrested, Indat least 43 people were injured. Participants in the gathering, Greekfest, ,fre aware of racial tension previous to the actual riots. Virginia Beach police stood guard in riot gear, giving $45 tickets for walking- When rioting began, police used 30-inch riot batons. The rioters, utilizing bottles and bricks, looted at least 100 businesses. Property damage ,as said to be in the millions of dollars. National Guard troops were called in „Sunday. At least half of those arrested were residents of Virginia Beach. Judge Orders Drug Testing Stopped (CPS)—On the eve of the football season a local Boulder, Colo., judge has deemed the University of Colorado's drug-testing program unconstitutional, and has ordered the school to stop testing athletes immediately. The decision by District Judge Joseph Bellipani, spurred by an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit on behalf of CU athletes, probably won't affect other schools, drug-testing proponents said. "That has no immediate effect on NCAA testing," said Frank Uryasz, director of sports sciences for the National Collegiate Athletics Association, which tests athletes at championship tournaments. "We plan to continue until some precedent-setting litigation tells us not to," he said. We have no thoughts on making any changes," affirmed Dean Billick, associate athletic director at the University of Pittsburgh, where all football and basketball players are subject to regular urine tests. CU's program, in which athletes take eye tests, and if they fail that, urine Bts, amounts to unreasonable search and seizure, Bellipani ruled. CU was using a rapid-eye screening device to make the tests less intrusive, hilt Bellipani called them "an intrusion without purpose.. .It is wholly unable to indicate with any measure of validity whether a person has been using any of the proscribed drugs." The NCAA is four of five against challenges to its testing program. A Santa Clara County Superior Court judge issued a permanent injunction last sum­ mer, allowing Stanford University athletes to compete without taking drug tests. But in separate lawsuits, athletes from Louisiana State and Northeastern universities and from the universities of Miami and Washington lost. On the high school level, two-thirds of the students at HomewoodRossmoor High School outside of Chicago will have to take random drug tests, after the school board voted August 15 to require tests for participants in all interscholastics activities, including athletics and clubs. McDonald's Experiments with Fried Chicken According to "The Charlotte Observer," McDonald's is test marketing pieces of fried chicken in Dallas and Houston. McDonald's is not expected to beathreat to other fast food restaurants in the chicken business for ten years if the chicken is a success. McDonald's hopes to attract more dinner business »ilb the chicken move. 14-inch pizzas are being tested by McDonald's in Evansville, Ind., and Breakfast Burritos are being tested in Houston. McDonald's biggest challenge in expansion is expected to be PepsiCo, owner of Kentucky Fried Chicken, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut. Sex Course Syllabus Overhauled (CPS)—Nassau Community College students won't be going to gay bars or (batting with prostitutes any more in their human sexuality course. The Nassau County (N.Y.) Board of Supervisors threatened to reject the school's budget, and thereby delay the start of the fall semester, unless the homeworl vas modified.

The ASU Foundation, in a joint venture with the Brian Center Management Corporation of Hickory, will purchase the Pine Hill Retirement Community from First Union National Bank for $3.3 million. The announcement of the purchase was made by Executive Assistant to the Chancellor Bob Snead at Friday's Board of Trustees meeting. "We see this as being a unique chance to help the university and the community," Snead said. According to the university, Ap­ palachian Brian Estates will be governed by a seven-member board. The corporation will contract with Brian Center for day-to-day manage­ ment of the facility. Four members of the board will represent Brian Center and three members will represent the ASU Foundation. Each party has contributed $500,000 toward the pur­ chase of the facility. The closing date for the purchase is October 1. Founder and Chief Executive Of­ ficer of Brian Center, Donald C. Beaver said, "This is a very good endeavor for all of us as well as the community." According to the ASU News Bureau, Beaver said that joint ventures such as this are a growing trend in the convalescent care in­ dustry. "It excites me to be involved with the university in this way." According to Snead, the facility will provide ASU students with a uni­ que opportunity to gain experience in the health care field. Beaver said, "It's an innovative direction for us and the Foundation. (Brian Center) will have an area where we can con­ centrate on the training and develop­ ment of our administrators, depart­ ment managers and so forth, and at the same time Appalachian will have a place for students and faculty to gain practical experience. Snead said that Appalachian is the only university in North Carolina to enter into such a venture. According to the ASU News Bureau, Pine Hill's original owners filed for bankruptcy in early 1989. The property was foreclosed on by First Union National Bank in May. The original bond was approximately $6 million. The remainder of the debt and start up costs will be loaned by the partners. The 91-unit facility sits on 5.2 acres of land adjoining the University Hall property on Blowing Rock Road. University Attorney Dayton Cole said the property was easily worth the in­ vestment. "This is a relatively conser­ vative investment, because the land and buildings are adequate security." Cole added, "The transaction was analyzed in virtually the same way other Foundation investments are analyzed, but this one had a twist because it offered excellent educa­ tional opportunities." SOMETHING NEW AT ASU:The ASU Foundation, in a joint venture with the Brian Center Management Corporation, will pay $3.3 million to purchase the Pine Hill Retirement Community located on a 5.2 acre piece of pro­ perty adjacent to University Hall. The facility In other board business, the trustees heard a preliminary discus­ sion concerning possible fee ad­ justments for the 1990-91 academic year. According to the Business Af­ fairs committe, tuition and academic fees could possibly go up 6 percent next year to $520 per year. Over the next two years $85 may be added to general fees to help fund a new addi­ tion to the Plemmons Student Union. See FOUNDATION pg. 6 consists of 91 units which range from onebedroom apartments to two-bedroom deluxe apartments. The facility will be governed by a seven-member board made up of four members of the Brian Center and three members from the foundation. After catching dumpster on fire... TKE's put on probation for hazing By RAE BEASLEY Appalachian Staff Writer According to Tau Kappa Epsilon Inter­ national Fraternity headquarters in Indi­ anapolis, Indiana, the Appalachian State University chapter ofTKE has been placed on probation for hazing. Chapter Vice-President Russ Thomas said that the probation followed an inci­ dent last April in which four associate members were arrested on felony charges after a dumpster caught on fire. Associate Director of the Center for Student In­ volvement and Leadershipand Interfraternity Council Advisor Dino DiBemardi said that the four men were collecting beer cans from a dumpster while on a fraternity scavenger hunt. According to DiBemardi, such an ac­ tivity violates the Fraternity Insurance Group Risk Management Policy which strictly prohibits quests, treasure hunts and scavenger hunts and defines these activities as hazing. DiBemardi said that immediately fol­ lowing the incident, the national chapter was contacted and responded with a tem­ porary forma] suspension of the chapter citing the chapter with failure to conform to national constitution by-laws. After a Court of Inquiry was conducted by the national chapter, thesuspension was lifted and the local chapter placed on probation. According to Chancellor JohnThomas, the fraternity is required to hold an antihazing workshop and an alcohol/drug Policy amended By JAMIE CHRISTENBURY Assitanl News Editor According to a memo from Susan Stamper and Don Sanz dated May 23, 1989, part of ASU's alcohol policy now consists qf a 2Vi hour Alcohol Education Policy for first time of­ fenders. Repeat offenders will be sub­ ject to a three session program. The memo called for 1 workshop for first time offenders during fall semester. The workshops are cosponsored by Appalachian Drug Abuse Prevention Team, the Ap­ palachian Wellness Center, and the Counseling and Psychological Ser­ vices Center. Materials used in the workshop were adapted from the Peer Alcohol and Drug Education Pro­ gram Manual used by the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. Other materials came from Northern Illinois University. At the end of the workshop each participant takes a quiz about common alcohol misconceptions. A score of at least 70 is required on this quiz, or the workshop must be repeated. According to Stamper and Sanz the purpose of the workshops is to pro­ vide "general information about alcohol and its effects on one's life. The workshop will provide par­ ticipants with the information needed to make responsible decisions about alcohol use, the ability to recognize alcohol abuse where it may already exist, and provide proper referral sources for those who may need assistance in changing their alcohol use." Lee McCaskey, director of the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership, stated that the workshop program was "put together by the counseling service." He added that the purpose of the counseling center is to help students, and the workshop program is "what they consider to be a program to educate students about how to use alcohol effectively." Chief Justice of the ASU Student Court, Glenn Roseman stated, "My initial reaction is favorable. I hope that it will prevent any problem that some folks may have and not be aware of. I feel the workshops will ad­ dress issues to the benefit of the students." Roseman added, "Of course, any policies or sanctions we would pass or recommend are for the benefit of the student. The intentions are good, and I hope the workshops will address matters the court and the university haven't addressed before." The 89-90 Mountaineer Student Handbook states that it is illegal on the ASU campus and in the state of North Carolina for "any person under the age of 21 to possess or con­ sume any alcoholic beverages that contains more than one-half of one percent...of alcohol by volume." The handbook also states that those over 21 may possess and consume alcoholic beverages inside of their own residence hall rooms or inside of a residence hall room they have been invited into. According to the hand­ book, this is the only place on campus where students of legal age may con­ sume or possess alcohol, with the ex- See POLICY pg. 6 abuse clinic. Also, the fraternity must increase its overall GPA to the all men's average. DiBemardi said that the chapter must now request permission from him and the TKE District President, Dennis Gregory, before they host any social func­ tions. He also stated that the chapter is required by its national chapter to do community service and campus service projects for a set amount of hours during the fall semester. "They have been given the chance to rehabilitate their chapter," DiBemardi said, "if they have any more violations they will have to show cause to keep their chapter and prove that they are innocent of the charges." Thomas stated that the fraternity will remain on probation until this spring when a TKE national review board will come here and decide whether or not to lift the probation. DiBemardi said that the national frater­ nities are the ones coming down on the hazing policies, but added that the local chapter will bereviewed by the university Interfraternity Council which may result in separate action taken against the chap­ ter by the university itself. "(Hazing) is not going to happen in our fraternity sys­ tem and the greeks can't afford to let it happen to their chapters," he said. Socially active TKE member. Cleat 'Trey" Walters HI stated that he didn't feel that what the four associate members did last spring was that wrong, but also stated that the fraternity has agreed to follow the national chapters rules in order that the probation might be lifted. DiBemardi said that the problem is not limited to the ASU campus, but is a prob­ lem nationwide. In an effort to stop the problem, the national chapters of many fraternal organizations are addressing the problems with new pledge policies, such as the one implemented by the TKE Inter­ national Chapter recently. "Greeks have come under scrutiny because of the exploitation of liability issues," DiBemardi said. According to the "Denver Post" fraternities and sororities rank sixth among the top 30 risks for liability suits. "For this reason they (fra­ ternities) have found that they are having a hard time getting any type of liability insurance," DiBemardi said. "The actions of individual chapters have placed the nationals in jeopardy." He added that if a fraternity can not get liability insurance and is sued, it could pose a serious threat to the survival of the entire organization. Executive Vice President and CEO of the TKE Fraternity, T.J. Schmitz said, "Hazing has long been a problem in the fraternity system. We have tried numer­ ous programs to eradicate it from the fra­ ternity but so far none have accomplished the task." In order to eliminate hazing practices in the fraternity, the TKE International Chapter has voted to eliminate "pledging" in all TKE chapters. "We think that the eliminationof pledg­ ing is the most significant event in the recent history of the fraternity system," TKE's chairman of the board Bruce B. Melchert said. "Our founding fathers didn't have pledging and so, in a sense, we are returning to our roots. I'm proud that our chapter leaders viewed the change as necessary and vital to the future of our fraternity." The National Fraternity stated that in­ stead of a pledge period, new recruits will be initiated immediately and will have all , rights and privileges of full membership. Newly initiated members will participate, along with the other members, in a Mem­ bership Development Program which includes three levels of educational achievement.

ASU NEWS BUREAU According to Mclntire, the policy was recommended by the Quinn Center Recreation Advisory Council. Mclntire said the university plans to include a smaller fitness facility in a proposed Student Union expansion. Mclntire said the university will also require all part-time students to pay a 46 dollar student activity fee in order to use the Quinn Center. Full­ time students already pay the fee. "Students who pay the 46 dollar stu­ dent activity fee are paying for their right to have access to the Quinn Center and this policy will ensure that access," Mclntire said. Part-time students will not be able to obtain ID cards for their dependents unless they pay all student fees. Mclntire said the new policies were implemented to ensure that the university doesn't violate the Govern­ ment and Business Act, known as the Umstead Act, a state law which pro­ hibits state agencies from competing with private firms.

These are gatherings at which each sorority is allotted 30 minutes to present material to rushees, such as skits and plays. All interested girls may attend these parties. Next are the theme parties, where sororities must limit the number of rushees they invite. After the theme parties the sororities must again limit their invitations to an even smaller number for the preference parties. The rushees also visit each of the sorority halls in Cannon Residence Hall to observe the living quarters of sororities on campus. Jody Walker, the Panhellenic Council's Vice President of Rush, confirmed that approximately 300 girls are rushing this fall. Walker also stated that the importance of rush is based on the concern that, "rushees come in contact with and get to know people they like, and sorority girls meet and get to know rushees they like." int0 effect lim'fing the number of quests ( can bring to the center three per semester" "Grab Your Best Friend And Go See 'BEACHES'" - ABC RADIO NETWORK, Joanna I THEY MET ON A BEACH 30 YEARS AGO BEACHES ONCE IN A LIFETIME YOU MAKE A FRIENDSHIP THAT LASTS FOREVER tPO-13j;g wton nsrost I'll rims Thursday, September 7 7 & 9 p.m. $1.50 Call 262-2766 for more information Paid in Part by your Student Activity F e e .. lit ifiri !

But, if the truth were known, nearly all of us have a ten­ dency to view and accept things without looking at them very critically. Why is this true? A major component, according to Dr. David Considine, is the sad fact that teachers are not very well-trained in help­ ing their pupils look at things discriminately. Each fall he offers a unique class which is partially aimed at alleviating this situation. Critical ViewingSkills (CI4830) is the name of the course, and its major focus is enabling students on how to be­ come visually literate hycritically analyz­ ing and interpreting messages in the mass media. Although the class is a requirement for students in the Masters of Education program, Dr. Considine comments that a wide range of undergraduates take the course ranging from advertising, market­ ing, history, English, philosophy, politi­ cal science, communication arts and, of course, education majors. He believes future teachers are the ones who would receive the most benefit from this subject. The reason he espouses this is be­ cause the present "generation of teachers has more technology and more imagebased materials available to them than ever before." Unfortunately very little is said about how to draw upon these re­ sources to positively excite and stimulate students. Instead, most either assume teachers automatically know how to use mass media effectively or ignore it and just talk about the negative impact this medium has. For Considine, the mass media is an ally tc work with and not an enemy to fight. He believes that our present tech­ nology, whose power to influence is very great, can be used quite productively in the education process. A major hurdle to the effective use of visual images is in the teacher education process. "We are so hung up on teaching facts...that we give (students) rote learn­ ing rather than giving them the skills and new ways and new perspectives at look­ ing," Considine said. But it's this very need that is over­ looked by those who make the decisions about what curriculum is to be taught in public schools. One aspect of the problem is with funding. Considine notes from a conversation with an administrator that there is no problem on getting funds for computers, but obtaining money for criti­ cal viewing skills is a whole different story. This is very upsetting for Consid­ ine, especially since part of his critical viewing skills class deals with how to use visual mediums, like computers, more effectively. think about the effect they have on our life. Considine says that critical viewing skills enable a person to distance them­ selves a little from their perceptions, so they can begin to think about what forces and factors are at work in shaping them. Being aware of how visual images, like those in entertainment, attempt to direct you is the key to not letting them lead you blindly. But, Considine is quick to add that it doesn't necessarily mean you have to always be over-analyzing every­ thing and trying to find out what message is being given. He also says that using critical viewing skills "doesn't interfere with your enjoyment, it actually raises your level of enjoyment." Whenever you discuss the potential or apparent negative impact of the mass media, the issue of whether or not certain things should be censored always comes up. Considine clearly states that "the class is not pro-censorship..." He believes "the best way to control or affect or impact Everyone knows the entertainment industry, through movies, cable TV, and home videos bombards us with a wide variety of messages. If you're thinking that a class like this seems to be helpful to only teachers, you're mistaken. It can give you an eyeopening experience into realizing how ideas in thev arious forms of popular medi a are shaping your point of view. Anything from pictures in children's books to ad­ vertising to rock album covers to MTV to political ads to formal classroom instruc­ tion has an impact on your opinions. Everyone knows the entertainment industry, through movies, cable TV, and home videos bombards us with a wide variety of messages. Very few, though, (mass media) is to educate the consumer. So the notion of critical viewing skills hopefully leads to critical consumption ." Then, with this in mind, those who are offended by something, or those who see a potentially negative impact of a product's message would not support that product. Thus, the market place would take notice. If you are looking for a class that will help you to view and think about things in your world more discriminately, then Critical Viewing Skills is for you. It will help you see there's more to what you watch than meets the eye. HELPING YOU LOOK FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE: David Considine teaches Critical Viewing Skills (CI 4830), a course devoted to making a student more visually aware of meanings behind the messages sent by the media. Sigma Nu rushes against cancer By TODD HARKNESS -. ~ Appalachian Staff Writer Every year the brothers of the Kap­ pa Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity run the official game ball for the ASU-Wake Forest University No matter whether you call it art or junk Art Dept. creates campus contrasts By JENNIFER COUTURE Appalachian Staff Writer The Art Department, led by Dr. Mari­ anne Suggs, hasscheduled studentexhibi­ tions through theCatherine Smith Gallery and an open houseexhibition forstudents, their families and curious onlookers. Several guest speakers have been invited to speak to the art classes, and the forma­ tion of an NCAEA (North Carolina Art Education Association) student chapter is in the works for this fall. The students will have the opportunity of taking part in the New York Loft program and the Appala­ chian House in Washington, D.C.—both of which are designed to help students leant more about art and developa greater sense of appreciation for the classics. One activity planned that not many other de­ partments here on campus could boast about is the four-week European study that the students taking art courses will be able to attend in Lugano, Switzerland— not a typical classroom activity, to say the least. The start of classes not only means the competition will take place on the Wey Hall side of campus only. "We hated to do it, but we needed a way to keep things safe this year," Suggs commented. Regard­ less, thisproject will definitely makesome radical additions to the art already outside on the lawn at Wey, and it will probably make that part of campus much more distinguishable for some time.

"The staff is good, but more members are needed, especially for Foundations I and HI," said one student concerning the Art Department needs. He added, "Certain sections should be only for art majors and people who plan to make art their career." Foundations I and III seemed to be a department is now in the process of com­ years during the competition, the various mutual sourceof problems among most of piling an upcoming portfolio review for entries and sculpted creatures have been the students.

This to all of an art major's required courses. year, however, due to vandalism, the any unsuspecting freshman toying with Dr. Suggs agreed that thelimited space and faculty does make it difficult to work with the students individually, which is obviously the most desired situation in an art class."One of our biggest goals in this department is to be able to offer small classes with getting to know the students well and getting involved," she said. However, with 18 full-time faculty and 450 majors, this goal might not be easily attained. Since most lecture sections are comprised of 50 students, there is usually only timefor two minutes or so per student of individual instruction time.This leaves the department in quite a rush to meet the demands of the students. But this is not to say that thestudents arenot enjoying their experiences. One freshman said she loved the courses she was taking because they allow her to use her drawing skills in a "productive and practical way." start of many activities for the students at Wey Hall, but it also brings about several changes in appearance and curriculum for the department. Dr. Suggs said that the artistic urges in the fall of 1990. This year marks the third year of the ever-popular sculpting competition here at Appalachian as well. In the past two football game to help the American Cancer Society, in their.fight against this dreaded disease. The brothers take turns running the ball one to two miles for the 92 miles from Boone to Winston-Salem. The ball is then presented to game officials just before kick-off. This year will mark the fifth consecutive year of the "Game Ball Run." On Friday, Sept. 8, 1989, the day proclaimed by Governor Martin to be "Sigma Nu Game Ball Run Day" for the state of North Carolina, the brothers of Sigma Nu Fraternity will begin their descent down the moun­ tain to Winston-Salem. The run will begin at 7 a.m. in front of Cannon Residence Hall and will end, tem­ porarily, after a 3,000 foot drop and an 85 mile journey down U.S. 421 in Winston-Salem. The ball will remain overnight at a brother's house in Winston where the brothers will em­ bark on the final leg of the run Satur­ day morning. On Saturday, game day, Sigma Nu brother Michael Mathews will run the official game ball into the stadium at Wake Forest where he will be met at mid-field by the American Cancer Society's Boone Chapter President, Clayton Cook, who will in turn pre­ sent the ball to the head official. At this time an announcement will be made as to the total contribution amount for this year's run. Over the past four years, the chapter has collected an average of $2,500 per year and has gained the recognition of North Carolina Gover­ nor James Martin who commended the brothers for their "efforts toward helping find a cure for cancer." This year, each brother will be responsible for raising at least $50 for this worthy cause. The brothers are very excited about this year's run and hope to make it the most successful one ever. Public support is needed, however, to make the run a success. Cancer is a killer and money is needed to fund research for a cure for this deadly enemy. Great progress has been made in the fight against cancer but the war is yet to be won. The brothers of Sigma Nu urge everyone to join in this fight. For additional information or to make a contribution, which will go directly to the American Cancer Society, call Brian Brookshire, Game Ball Run Chairman, at 262-8612. The brothers thank you for your support. Attention!

He has appeared on eight of Water's albums, four of which were Grammy Award winners. When asked what his favorite line show with Waters was, he replied, "I'm tempted to talk about the big shows with great rock artists on the bill. However, the one particular night that stands out in my mind is when we played a small club in France. Muddy caught fire that night and on a scale of one to ten, it was a definite ten! It might have been a coincidence but that certain French village was known for its champagne and Muddy was a champagne connossieur. France was one of many exciting foreign places Margolin played. In 1978, Margolin appeared with Waters in "The Last Waltz," a movie of the band's farewell perfor­ mance.

This series, presented during the academic year, is designed to provide programs of interest for students, faculty and members of the Appalachian community. It does this by offering a balanced variety of na­ tionally known and regionally promi­ nent artists who entertain and educate. Whether your spirits are Med by music, dance or drama, this season promises a variety of events to delight your sensibilities. This year's series began on Sept. 5, ,wilh a one-woman show, "La MusiqueDe Piaf," presented by singer and actress, Elizabeth Hodes. Hodes presented the life and music of French linger Edith Piaf, who rose from humble beginnings as a street per­ former to become the world's highest paid cabaret singer. Next, the Ciompi Quartet, current­ ly in residence at Duke University, »tli take the stage on Sept. 21. Foundin 1965 by the renowned Italian violinist, Georgio Ciompi, the quartet tone of the nation's finest and will perform pieces from the works of Beethoven and Haydn, i Oo Sept. 28, the National Youth Orchestra of Spain, conducted by EdN Colomer, will perform. The °oth Orchestra is an educational insl|iution that aims to satisfy the pKific artistic and instrumental Ms of aspiring young Spanish Payers at the highest level. The per."nance will feature solo pianist *afael Orozco. November brings three memorable ents to campus. First, on Nov. 2, r musical ensemble, An Die Musik, 1 Present its unusual instrumental combination of oboe, piano and string trio. They explore a vast range and variety of classical, romantic and contemporary chamber literature un­ matched by more conventionally comprised ensembles. On Nov. 7, the spectacular Lar Lubovitch Dance company, led by the group's namesake choreographer, will per­ form their renowned brand of modern dance. The group has per­ formed world-wide, showcasing Lubovitch's stunning choreography. Then, on Nov. 13, the legendary jazz keyboard artist will bring the Chick Corea Akoustic Band. Under the leadership of Chick Corea the band blends acoustic and electric sounds to produce some of the finest jazz fusion heard today. The Broadway musical, "Big River," the winner of seven Tony Awards, will be performed on April 3. Based on Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the production features music by one of the country's most original songwriters, Roger Miller, a winner of 11 Grammy Awards. The Oakland Ballet, led by Artistic Director Ronn Guidi, has thrilled audiences around the world with its unique blend of in­ novation, daring and beauty. They will present the classically beautiful, romantic love story "Giselle," on April 11. Raitt. His years with Muddy also brought the opportunity for him to jam with blues greats B.B. King, Lightnin' Hopkins, Willie Dixon, Freddie King, Koko Taylor, and several others. He left Waters in 1980 because of conflicts within the band and crew. He went it alone with several back­ up bands and opened shows for George Thorogood, the Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Margolin has also opened solo for such blues greats as John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, and Lonnie Mack. One of his most unusual solo stints was when he opened for come­ dian Robin Williams. "I was asked to come and play a short opening for Wiliams at Virginia Tech. Before the show, Robin asked if I has a harmonica and that night I'd brought one along. As an encore, Robin played the harp, rather well I might add, and sang a song about col­ lege girls while I accompanied him on guitar," Margolin said. Now Margolin has his own album out and is continuing to burn up the East coast with his red hot blues. Why did it take such a talented artist so long to put out an album? He claims he was waiting on the right sound. The actual turnabout for him was when he played on Mark Wenner's solo album "Nothin' But "Mark recreated that sound I loved so much and I knew I could go into the studio and make it happen," he said. Many blues fans are glad he made the move because "The Old School" was worth the wait. He has several original tunes as well as ex­ cellent remakes of a few old blues songs. The title track and the first song on the album have a unique story behind them. "I was opening for Muddy one night and closed by set with 'Just Keep Lovin' Her,' a song Muddy hadn't heard in 30 years. He walked over to me and said I was keeping the old school alive. That was the last time I saw him before his death," he said. From this experience came the moving, 'heartfelt title track. Margolin's "Later for You" and his remake of "At My Front Door (Crazy Little Mama)" are sure to make your toes tap and your hips sway. Also, his live version of "Mean Women Blues," the only live track on the album, is one of the best remakes of any song you'll ever hear. He now plays with a steady band that consists of bassist Tom "Mookie" Brill and drummer Clark Matthews. He feels that the three of them have a personal chemistry every musician hopes for in a band. He still plans to have other ar­ tists appear with him, such as Jimmy Rogers, Nappy Brown and the Rev. Billy C. Wirt, however he is extremely happy just playing with his new band. Blues Guitarist Bob Margolin The best news of all blues fans is that Bob Margolin is returning to Boone this Saturday night. He has played here before and said, "Boone really rocks. I find the people energetic and very appreciative of my music." Don't miss the opportunity to see and hear this bluesman and pick up a copy of his album. He'll be at Sollecito's this Saturday, September 9, and the show starts at 10 p.m. Word to the wise—many of us already know that Bob is a fine blues artist. Come early and get close to the dance floor for an introduction, or continuance for some, to the blues. A Freddy fan sees "Elm Street Five" By NANCY E. DANIEL Appalachian Staff Writer "Faster than a thousand lunatics; more poweful than 100 maniacs; able to leap dead bodies in a single slashIT'S SUPER FREDDY!" Freddy's back! These simple words struck a chord deep within my demented imagination. "I must see this next movie!," I thought. As an avid Freddy fan, missing this one would be a mortal sin! I must admit, I wasn't dissappointed. What a way to end the first day of classes! The movie centers around Alice and her boyfriend Dan from Freddy IV. Only this time, Fred­ dy preys upon the dreams of Alice's unborn child. All other Freddy fanatics will recognize Freddy's mother, Amanda Kruger, since she dominates most of the movie. Is this an attempt at a family saga? Wouldn't that be something—Freddy showing up with siblings that he wasn't supposed to have! But I digress. The plot is basically the same as all of the other "Nightmare on Elm Street" movies—deranged lunatic meet»«teoiy and girl; deranged lunatic kills boy and girl with a few wise cracks thrown in just for kicks. Freddy bestows power upon Alice's child which the child uses to kill Freddy AGAIN. Does this mean that Freddy will take on his human form through Alice's son? Hasn't this happened before in "Jason VI: A New Beginning?" Oh well, something has to be sacrificed for the special effects—it may as well be the plot. The special effects were spec­ tacular. At one point, one of the ever present dream sequences was done totally in cartoon format. (For the la­ tent A-Ha fans out there: It was reminiscent of the "Take Me On" video.) The best effect, in my opi­ nion, had to be the the 'in-utero' ex­ ploration of Alice's child when she is worried with a good cause for the baby's dreams. It is through Jacob, Alice's baby, that Freddy intends to take over "the land of dreams" once more. As expected it comes down to a war between Alice, Freddy, Jacob, and Amanda. Alice starts to lose, so Jacob steps in and uses the powers that Freddy gave him to distract Fred­ dy. This pulls Freddy away from Alice and lets Amanda move in for the kill. If I told you who wins the fight bet­ ween mother and son, it would be cheating—not to mention pointless and unnecessary. Will there be another Freddy movie? Of course! America seems to feel the need for sadistic supernatural killers now just as they felt the need for super-heros only 30 years ago. What next? Will Freddy meet God­ zilla? Maybe Freddy, Leatherface, and Jason should meet Pumpkinhead and destroy each other. I'm not com­ ing down on Freddy. After all, I'm the only person that I know who sits in the theater and cheers him on! But I'm even beginning to tire of the in­ cessant slashing. He needs a little variety. If he could get a rocket laun­ cher mounted on his hand and a flamethrower shooting from his ears, then he would really have something. Get bangs out of this rock fnroll book No matter how varied my favorite musical groups and artists sound when compared with each other (Billie Holiday and the Sex Pistols for example), they all share one common element; they produce in me the feel­ ing of being sucker-punched in the gut. Granted, that might not be the most pleasant way of putting it, but then again I don't have favorite bands just because their music is pleasant. I have favorite bands because something in their music crept into my brain and changed the way I looked at the world if only for the length of a three-minute single. numor. The book itself has many highlights, fascinating interviews with Lou Reed and Kraftwerk, and in­ sightful essays on such trendsetting artists as Iggy Pop and the Stooges, and David Bowie. I felt the same way after reading "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" by Lester Bangs. On the one hand it is a collection of essays and criticisms of such bands as The Guess Who and Public Image Limited. On the other hand it is the fascinating autobiography of a man who found little in the world to believe in except rock music and the feelings it could inspire in people and in himself. My personal favorites among the articles, however, are the ones more autobiographical in nature. In "John Coltrane Lives," a simple piece about Bang's love for the saxophone turns into an outrageously funny story in­ volving too many drugs, a crippled 63 year-old landlady, the police, and a night in jail. I would explain in more detail but that would spoil the entire story. doesn't romanticize Laughner's even­ tual death from drug abuse and hard living but rather rages against it. In the end it becomes a plea to be yourself, chase your dreams and notto whine when they don't come true, but rather buckle down and keep on living. The best article in the book (or at least my favorite) is the piece on one of the original New York punks, the nihilistic Richard Hell. Throughout the article he patiently listens to Richard's gloomy forecast of life in the 80s and his morbid desire to end his life and then calmly turns the arti­ cle into a reaffirmation of the beauty of life. The book spans the period of 1970 to 1981 when rock music was witness to such developments as arena rock, disco, and the birth of punk and elec­ tronic music. He viewed it all with a critical eye and a cutting sense of Season tickets for the Performing Arts Series are available at discount rates.

By JIM EVANS Appalachian Slaff Writer In the article simply entitled "Peter Laughner," Bangs describes the slow motion suicide of a man who was both a gifted musician (he helped form the pioneering alternative band Pere Ubu) and a close friend. He Always exciting, ever informative, "Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung" is one of the finest books ever written about rock and roll. It makes you look at music in a whole new way. Enjoy.

The most important decisions one has to make throughout life revolve around just "what do I want to do?" I mean, many a person has suffered a crisis over whether they should go to that movie premiere down the block, that opera that just came into town, museum hop or just invite a few hun­ dred close friends over for caviar. Well fear no more, Gebeaux is here to help you decide what to do. This Thursday night at 7 and 9 p.m. A.P.P.S. presents the movie "Beaches" at I.G. Greer theater. Bette Midler and Barbara Hershey star as two women who met as children and continued to exchange letters into adulthood, thus creating a strong bond. This unique friendship helps them throughout their lives and finally helps them to keep on going through a life or death crisis. If this review in a nutshell appeals to you, the movie is only a buck and a half, with popcorn and drinks for only two bits. Even though Guadalcanal Diary, another good southern progressive band from Athens, Georgia, just broke up, there are still many fine progressive bands in the South. This Friday night, two local bands fitting this description will play downtown Boone at Amadeus. For only three dollars, you can be one of the lucky few to see No Reason Why with Life After Lunch opening up. Both bands have just added a second guitarist, making them just a bit louder and more aggressive. If you want to dance like you are made of jello, as I will, it will be a hip and happening night for all those involved. But Gebeaux's pick of the weekend will be at I.G. Greer Friday and Saturday night. Two movies starring the most happening dead man on campus (He is on almost every girl's wall that I know). James Dean starred in "East of Eden" and "Rebel Without A Cause" before dying in a car wreck. Although typecast as a young Marlon Brando, alienated and misunderstood, he puts on a good show in each movie. Classic perfor­ mances on a big screen, with popcorn and drinks-this is a must see. "East of Eden" is at 7 p.m. and "Rebel Without A Cause" is at 9 p.m. Friday night, and vice versa Saturday night. Upcoming Events: The Cure, Sept. 20, Duke; Majosha, Sept. 30, Sollecito's; and Emo Phillips, Nov. 10, Legends.

Overall, tui­ tion and fees could go up $205 for the next academic year. The board will vote on the adjust­ ment in December before getting final approval from the General Assembly. Also discussed at the meeting was a proposed increase in parking fee registration from the current fee of $50 to one of $90.

Rose was man On August 24, 1989, Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti and Cincinnati Reds manager Peter Edward Rose settled their six-month disputeover allegations that Rose bet on baseball. In the argument. Rose was permanently banned from the game he loves. Rose can, however, apply for rein­ statement after one year has elapsed. In a Hew York news conference, on August 24, Giamatti made it clear, in my eyes, that he would not allow Rose back in to baseball. He said he had an "open mind" about reinstatement, but, I mean, why should he? Rose's signing of the agree­ ment is like an admission to a wrong­ doing, although Rose still refuses to openly admit he bet on baseball and on his team. Rose had to be banned. As Giamatti stated, "I conclude that he bet on base­ ball." If Rose bet on the game, he risked ruining the integrity that the sport has upheld for decades. Rose slapped the gime that he loves in the face. He outand-out went, against the rules- After a sluggish start the Moun­ taineers drove to the Bulldog 36 where t e drive stalled and Jay Millson came on to kick a 47 yard field goal to give the Mountaineers a 3-0 lead. The first quarter ended with ASU clinging to this three point lead. During the second quarter ASU scored often. On their next position ASU took over on their own 29 yard line and drove the length of the field to score on Richie Melchor's one yard run with 5:56 remaining in the quarter. The Bulldogs took over on their own 31 yard line, ran one play and then fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Pat Moore on the Gardner-Webb 42 yard line. Nine plays later the Mountaineers scored on a Melchor four yard run and the Millson PAT was good to give ASU a 17-0 lead with 43 seconds remaining before half-time. After the kick-off the Bulldogs ran three plays and again fumbled with Johnny Jennings recovering the fum­ ble. The Mountaineers took over on the Bulldog 23 yardline and D.J. Campbell quickly took advantage of the miscue with a 23 yard touchdown pass to A1 Ellis, giving the Moun­ taineers a 24-0 lead at half-time. Gardner-Webb received the open­ ing kick-off and drove the length of the field on the Mountaineers, scoring on a one yard touchdown run by Charles Barnes to cut the ASU lead to 24-7. That was the end of the Bulldog threat. With freshman Campbell no longer nervous, the Mountaineer of­ fense began to click. ASU took over on their own 13 yard line but eight plays later were in the end zone on a 61 yard touchdown pass from Camp­ bell to Joe Briggs, giving the Moun­ taineers a 31-7 lead. The third quarter ended with no one else scoring. ASU took over at the end of the third quarter and continued to drive into the fourth quarter. The Moun­ taineers scored on a 9 yard pass from Campbell to Jeff Dudan with 11:22 remaining in the game. The PAT was good. Both ASU and Gardner-Webb had drives stall before ASU took over the ball with 4:01 remaining in the game on their own 18 yard line. After a one yard loss, backup quarterback Mike Freeman threw an 83 yard bomb to J.K. Reaves for a touchdown. Millson missed the PAT. The game ended with the Moun­ taineers winning 43-7. Melchor led all ASU runners with 129 yards on 23 carries; he had 116 yards in the first half alone. Fullback Kevin Hart was the second leading rusher with 50 yards. Campbell went 9 for 15 for 140 yards and three touchdown passes. Jeff Dudan had three receptions to lead a balanced Mountaineer passing attack, with each of the six receivers catching at least one pass. ASU coach Jerry Moore was en­ couraged by the victory. "I was very pleased with the play of our freshmen," said Moore, "overall 1 was pretty pleased." Freshman quarterback Campbell felt anxious at the beginning of the game. "I was nervous early, but as the game went on I began to feel more comfortable," said Campbell. Campbell, as well as the rest of the Mountaineers, will need to feel more confident as ASU travels to WinstonSalem to face Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons are trying to get revenge after the Mountaineers tied the Deacons last year, knocking them out of a bowl bid. Kick-off is at 7 p.m. in Groves Stadium. Appalachian Photo by Keith Harrison FOOTBALL: Anthony Smith returns one of his three punt returns in the Mountaineer victory of Saturday Smith returned the three punts for 37 yards with his longest run being 28 yards. Smith also returned one kickoff for 21 yards. Smith, a 5'9" freshman from Inman, S.C. also plays wide receiver for the Mountaineers. ASU travels to Wake Forest this Saturday to face the Demon Deacons. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Mountaineers face big challenge in Wake Forest By KURT C. WARD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State will play its second game of the season by opening Wake Forest's schedule Saturday evening at Groves Stadium in Winston-Salem. The contest is slated for a 7 p.m. kickoff time. Wake will be trying to avenge lastyear's 34-34 tie with the Mountaineers. The Atlantic Coast Conference members lead the series with ASU, 8-2-1. Coach Bill Dooley will be heading the WakeForestDemon Deacons for the third consecutive year. Dooley maintains a 138-1 record at Wake, leading the Deacs to two successive winning seasons for the first time in 16 years. Dooley appears concerned going into the 1989 season. In an interview with Dan Collins of "The Winston-Salem Journal," Dooley commented, "In order to be a sound football team, I've always been a believer in two things: If you're sound in Now the agreement Rose signed allows him to apply for reinstatement in one year's time.

You can build a football team from that. Right now, we've got a lot of question marks in the kicking game. We've also got a lot of question marks in our defense, because of our secondary. So I'm concerned a great deal. "It's not a rebuilding year, but it is a regrouping year, because we'll have so many young football players. It's going to depend upon one thing—how able we are to have young football players step for­ ward and do the job. And what kind of depth we get." The Deacons defensive worries come in the form of an inexperienced secon­ dary. The comers will be occupied by sophomore Tony Hollis and red-shirt fresh­ man George Coghill. Junior Brad Benson and red-shirt freshman LamontScales will be the safeties. Benson is the only player to see starting time last year. "Defensively, areal problem exists back in the secondary," Dooley said. "I think the big thing is that they're greener than grass. I'm sure (opponents) will test to find out about the secondary, knowing we're young." The remainder of the defense appears solid, however, with many veterans.

Ritchie Melchor had 149 yards of total offense against the Deacs last year and will need to duplicate that outing if the Apps are to improve to 2-0.

From the Deep South Iournament there will be a selection of players chosen for the South-East Asso­ ciation Tournament.

The tournament is sponsored for umpires to receive ratings for officiating. After playing in the tournament, the team will have an opportunity to sort out any problems they might have before their first game, and Poole will be able to move players to different positions. Poole teaches three classes at ASU including field hockey, tennis and swim­ ming. She is also working on her master's degree in sports management.

Tragically, such patterns are typically focused toward what better suits the perpetual "progress" of said class of thinkers leaving 99.44 percent of us purely out in the snow—buck naked! So, logically, it is in the best interests of the leisure class to perpetuate inequality so they can overtly keep more for themselves—what most of us do not think about is that the energy wasted for one opulent lifestyle could easily fuel 1,000 normal lifestyles. It is also in their interests to make us believe in the "Dream," our ability to live just like them with hard work and a little luck.

The mayoral race has three candidates in Craig Austin, Velma C. Burnley and W.E. "Bill" Rucker. Candidates for the three open seats on the Town Council include: JoAnn H. Brown, Saul Chase, Robert L. Cherry, Jr., James A. "Jim" Dugger, Clyde S. Greene, Scott Greene, James P. Marsh, Louise E. Miller, Diana Perry, Frank W. Petersilie and Ben Suttle. According to a spokesperson for the Board of Elections, only 7,771 persons are currently registered to vote. This number is well below half of the area's population and further emphasises how much of an im­ pact students can make. Students should look at the platforms upon which the candidates are running and realize that incumbent candidates have a past voting record which is public information. Other sources of information on candidates are past media, which will indicate prior voting records, and $GA, which dealt extensively with the current Town Council in im­ plementing several amendments to the Noise Ordinance. The most important thing is to vote. Student opinions and concerns m ust be known if the town is to consider them in its decision making.

Quote of the day: "The ballot is stronger than the bullet." Abraham Lincoln Speech, May 19,1856 the far side By GARY LARSON Cigarettes brand "idealistic" lifestyles By SUSAN SHOEMAKER Appalachian Columnist What makes an attractive man, an at­ tractive woman, or a "good" life—the values and dreams of the twentieth cen­ tury—is largely determined by media advertising. Popular culture defines the American dream. Unfortunately, the American dream is often the impossible dream. One example of this can be found in the enormously successful campaigns ofcigarette manufacturers. In 1963, Philip Morris' cigarette brand, Marlboro, launched acampaign that was to last three decades. It pictured not the robust cow­ boy of today's ads but a woman lounging on a chair. It was a luxury cigarette using much the same approach that Virginia Slims does today. The campaign changed with the cancer scare in the1950 s: filters wereadded and the Marlboro Man came into being. D I„K . Features •J'^edhy Un.versa, Pfess Syndcate IS C&IA0?\ In the days before television According to "The Popular Culture Reader," executives for Marlboro "asked themselves what was the most genuinely accepted symbo!of masculinity in Amer­ ica, and this led <• j;te naturally to a cow­ boy." It became necessary to convey an image that was healthy and masculine, an image so powerful that it could cause the American public to ignore the emerging cancer statistics. As Marx would say, it speaks to the society's collective uncon­ scious. What the Marlboro Man actually be­ came was a cultural icon, embodying the unconscious ideal of what a real man should be. His face is not pretty; it is rough, weathered by the years. The Marlboro Man is always set against a scenic, isolated landscape; an independ­ ent man, his only company is cows or horses. He does not need other men and particularly does not need women. He is equipped with guns and lassoes to deal with tasks that might come his way. He has effectively escaped society and its burdens altogether by leading alife which has become obsolete for any practical purpose. When was the last time you saw a professional cowhand roaming around the mountains? What Philip Morris is selling, and quite effectively, is the ideal of manhood—independence, strength, physical aggression, and solitude. It is an ideal which has worked so well for the company that the campaign has run now for nearly thirty years. Similarly, VirginiaSlims sells theideal of the new "woman of the '80s." It util­ izes old fashioned pictures of women doing menial chores then escaping from under hubby's thumb by sneaking off for a cigarette. The image is furthered by large color photos of sexily dressed women who are presumably liberated enough to be able to be seen in full-page magazine ads smoking a stogie. This picture of "independence" is at best ab­ surd. This same analysis could apply to most of the major cigarette manufacturers in the industry today. It seems that cigarette manufacturers found an extremely lucra­ tive means of selling their product— overshadow the threat of cancer with the promise of happiness, independence and sexual virility. It is unfortunate that every woman who smokes Virginia Slims is not automatically liberated and sexually appealing any more than a man who smokes Marlboros suddenly becomes the picture of machismo and virility. How­ ever, the power of advertising has caused the consumer to associate smoking with the character traits portrayed in the adver­ tisement; otherwise, the marketing would be unsuccessful and cigarette companies would be forced to either find new tactics or cease to produce cigarettes.

Chase causes noise To the Editor: Are you tired of every party y-vj go to being busted at 10:30 p.m.? Are you tired of complaining about it and doing nothing to change it? If so, read on, and if you agree with what we are saying, please take the time to do something about it. On February 25, 1988, the Boone City Council passed an ordinance ".. .regulating unreasonably loud and disturbing noise in the townof Boone." In our opinion this law has been used mainly to discriminate against students and student parties. In fact, the person at the Boone police department, who wouldn't give me exact numbers, said that she did think the vast majority of them were cited against students. This law is stated so vaguely that you could get a noise ordinance, without a warning, for walking downKing Street whistling. Now what do you do about it? The motion to adopt this ordinance was made by council-member Saul Chase. Chase is coming up for re­ election on October 10. We feel that since the town council is not fairly representing the students who live in Boone, it is our right to change this by voting. So please register at the Courthouse on King Street before Sept. 11. If you are over eighteen years of age and live in Boone the majority of the year, as most students do, you can vote. Scott Lindsley Steve Carithers ASU Box 12433 Republicans rhetoric To the Editor: We are writing in response to cer­ tain individuals who we feel are abridging our freedom of speech and to these uninformed individuals, we want to make a firm statement on where we stand. First, as College Republicans we are granted equality as said by the Appalachian State University Con­ stitution, to post flyers on the events of our club. Our flyers, however, have been desecrated around the Student Union in a manner not representative of supposed adults. We feel this not only abridges our right under the University Constitu­ tion, but also our right under the United States Constitution. We also feel that hypocrisy is running ram­ pant across this campus, because the very people that push for their rights, as set aside by the above documents, are somehow finding humor in stopping ours. Second, let us address where we stand ideologically. These politically ignorant individuals have stated on our flyers that we are supporters of fascism and/or Nazism. The college Republicans do not and have never supported these ideas. What we do support is conservatism, along with the strong support of the freedom of all men, unlike the suppressive ideas of fascists and Nazis. Conservatives wish to free the American people from the grips of huge federal bureaucracies and to inspire them to create their own futures.

Newsbriefs v. Boone Parking is "marginally" dangerous By JENELLE ALTRY Appalachian News Editor J Illegal Chemicals turn up in imported meats. Recording to "The Charlotte Observer," 4.8 million pounds of ehlordane heptachlor—two agricultural pesticides banned in the - United d States—have been shipped to at least 25 countries in the past two years The pesticides have turned up in meats and produce shipped to the U.S The article cited a report from Greenpeace, stating that only one to two per­ cent of all imported produce is being tested. The report also said that two shipments of Honduran bed totaling 40,000 pounds were found to contain eight times the allowable levels of the two pesticides. National Weather Service to close office According to the "The Charlotte Observer", Representative Alex McMillan met with emergency management directors on Tuesday to discuss the propos­ ed closing of the National Weather Service office in Charlotte by the National Weather Service. The directors were from Charlotte/Douglas airport and counties surrounding Mecklenburg County. The directors protested the' pro­ posed closing, claiming that the Charlotte office is responsible not only for iracking weather but also for providing up to the minute reports on wind and humidity in case of chemical spills or hazardous waste accidents. McMillan also expressed concern about this, stating that he saw no logic in the closing of ihe Charlotte office. S.C. teacher suspended According to "The Charlotte Observer", a black teacher, who was a ,pokesperson for black football players boycotting the Conway High School leam, was suspended Tuesday by John Dawsey, Superintendent of Horry County Schools, South Carolina. The Rev. H.H. Singleton was suspended with pay, but Dawsey recommended that he be fired. Singleton expressed con­ cern about the effect his suspension may have on the community , sighting racial tensions already present in Horry County. Dawsey explained his actions by saying that Singleton was a disruptive presence due to his involvement with the boycotting players. The players boycotted the team because a black player who had started as quarterback last year was replaced by a white player new to Ihe position. The white player is also the son of an assistant coach. Burke boy drowns in pond According to "The Charlotte Observer", a 2-year-old Burke County boy drowned in his grandfather's pond Tuesday. He was the second Burke County child to drown in five days. Friday, an 11-month old child drowned in a bucket of water. Both cases have been ruled as accidental deaths, and the Burke County Sheriff's Department does not plan to file charges. Class schedule may have led to murder (CPS) A man accused of murdering his ex-girlfriend and her companion on ihe University of Washington campus July 25 may have used an illegally ob­ tained class schedule to track the victim down. The case has raised serious questions about how well campuses prolect"private" student records. At UW, suspect Azizollah Mazooni allegedly obtained a copy of victim Marhan Mohseninia's schedule despite her request that the records remain confidential. Mazooni found Mohseninia, an 18-year-old UW student, and a friend, 27-year-old Abraham Sharif-Kashani, as they were leaving class. Both were shot moments later. Campus police think Mazooni, the victim's former boyfriend, tracked Mohseninia to UW, where he fooled clerks into giving him Mohseninia's schedule by giving them her social security number and birth date. The clerks, unsure whether "Marjan Mohseninia" was a male or female name, complied. 'It's impossible to walk in and ask for someone's schedule without having Wry specific information," said Melanie Bell, Associate Director of Admis­ sions and Records. "We have no idea how it happened." The 1974 Buckley Amendment restricts the release of "personally iden­ tifiable records or files" to anyone other than appropriate school officials without student consent.

According to ASU Director of Public Safety and Security RoyTugman, parking in the Stadium Lot may be dangerous. Tugman referred to the parking situation in the lot (designated by security as "A" lot) as "marginally" dangerous. Tugman said there was an "unusually high" number of vehicles on campus at present. "At this point we have some lots that are full," he said. "Normally, there is some ov er-assignment ofspaces... We have more vehicles on campus this year than we've had in previous years. Parking will be very tight," he added. According to SGA President Brad Edwards, there were 5,999 available park­ ing spaces on campus last semester, while 7,800 vehicles were registered with ASU Security. "Wedefinitely have aproblem," Edwards said. Tugman said that approximately 85 parking spaces have been lost this semes­ ter due to campus construction, while 150 spaces were lost last year due to construc­ tion of the new college of business build­ ing. While no new spaces have yet been created, construction is underway on a 67space parking lot for faculty and staff. Tugman said that the lot, located on Riv­ ers Street beside Justice Residence Hall, will be ready for use within the next two weeks. According toTugman, there is no over­ flow lot available for those assigned to "A" lot. He said that students are currently parking along Rivers Street. "I am going to have to go in and reas­ sign parking spaces for resident students," Tugman said. "Some will have to be reas­ signed to the perimeter lots to allow room for the commuter students to park. We can only use Rivers Street temporarily before we get into trouble from the town." Tugman added that those students as­ signed to "A"lot but parking in other lots will be ticketed. Long range physical plans for the uni­ versity reveal the construction of several parking decks on campus, the first of which is scheduled to be built between Justice and Gardner/Coltrane Residence Halls. The deck will be three decks high and will hold 400 vehicles. "Groundbreaking has not yet occurred on the first parking deck," Tugman said. "We expect it to happen within the next 18 to 24 months." According to Edwards, many students believe that construction on the new fac­ ulty/staff parking lot is actually the start of the first deck. "Although it's not the deck, it is a start," he added. "I feel we need to do something about the (parking) problem," Edwards said. "Obviously, the solution is a parkingdeck. It's just a matter of getting on our feet and getting it started." In order to limit the misuse of the exist­ ing parking spaces, the ASU Board of Trustees approved five changes in traffic rules andregulations over thesummer that will directly affect students during the 1989-90 academic year. The changes include a reduction in the number of vio­ lations a student can receive, an appeal processing fee, creation of an oral appeals process, and new regulations for handicap decals. Previously, a person would lose oncampus parking privileges upon the sixth violation of the traffic code. This has been amended by the board to limit the number of violations a student can receive to four per semester. The new parking regulations now state that, "upon the fourth violation, a person loses the privilege to operate and park a vehicle on the university campus for the remainder of the semester involved. If the vehicle is parked on campus following this fourth violation, it will be towed to a place of storage at the owner's expense." According to Tugman, the policy was changed after a recommendation was presented to the board by the Traffic Committee in an attempt to reduce the number of illegally parked cars on cam­ pus. The committee feels that this will free up more parking spaces and also decrease the number of parking citations issued. The Board also approved a five dollar processing fee for traffic ticket appeals. According to the new policy, the fee will be charged to the violator's account along with the cost of the ticket when the appeal is filed. Upon approval of the appeal, the fee would be removed from the account along with the ticket. If the appeal is rescinded, both the ticket and the fee would remain on the student's account and be charged. Tugman said that it was a general feel­ ing of the committee that the fee would Appalachian Photo by Troy Horock IS PARKING IN THIS LOT SAFE?: With a record number of cars assigned to campus parking spaces as construcion limits the number of available spaces, ASU Security Director called the parking situation in Stadium lot "marginally" dangerous. reduce the number of frivolous appeals, According to the Traffic Management and Safety Committee, the fee would also "reduce paperwork and the amount of time necessary to review appeals." The new traffic regulations also state that if a written appeal is denied, an oral appeal will be granted if appealed within 30 days of the date the written appeal was ruled on. Failure to appear for an oral appeal will result in an automatic denial. The new regulations also state that only permanently handicapped individuals will receive an annual Handicap Permit. Re­ quests for such a permit must be accompa­ nied with a doctor's statement. If a tempo­ rary handicap permit is needed, that re­ quest must also be accompanied with a doctor's statement. The requests for a temporary Handicap Permit will be reviewed on a weekly basis and extended only as necessary, based on an updated doctor's statement. Tugman said that this was an attempt to limit the abusive useof Handicap Permits. "This has been a concern of the traffic committee. It is an attempt to rein the thing in so that people will not abuse the permits," he said. "Just because a student needs special parking, that does not necessarily mean that he is handicapped," he added. The Handicap Permit allows parking in any legal parking space on campus, those spaces reserved for the handicapped, and also in time zones for a period of time longer than the designated time posted. Dougherty House sold to Mystery Hill By JAMIE CHRISTENBURY Assistant News Editor The Dougherty House, former home of ASU's Founders D.D.and B.B. Dough­ erty, has been sold to Mystery Hill. According to Mystery Hill owner Wayne Underwood, the house was sold for $10, the price decided upon by the State PropertiesOffice in Raleigh. Under­ wood said the house will become a part of the Appalachian HeritageMuseum, sched­ uled to open at Mystery Hill within a year. Chancellor John Thomas explained that the university decided to sell the Dough­ erty House to Mystery Hill because the establishment's plan for the house "ap­ pears to be a very worthwhile use for the home." He added that as a part of the Appalachian HeritageMuseum, thehouse will be an enhancement to the area. Thomas said the Dougherty House has sentimental value to the community and therefore should remain in the area. Con­ cerning Underwood's goals for the house, Thomas said, "It is a challenging project; I think he (Underwood) is to be applauded for doing it." Underwood said he purchased the house because of his desire to see the structure returned to its original condi­ tion. He said this decision was further motivated by a recent fire which destroyed the former museum structure at the local scenic attraction. Underwood added that the destruction promoted interest in a liv­ ing history museum. Hesaid that purchas­ ing the house provided both a focal point for the new Appalachian Heritage Mu­ seum and an opportunity to see that the house will be restored. The Dougherty House was purchased on Aug. 5 and moved to its present site at Mystery Hill yesterday. Mystery Hill offi­ cials plan to work throughout the winter on the restoration in order to open the house to the public next summer. According to Appalachian Heritage Museum Curator Terri Moretz, the house has remained roofless since its move to the State Farm parking lot last summer. She said that, without aroof, the house has suffered extensive water damage. Her present goal is to re-roof the house and repair structural damage. Moretz added that Mystery Hill and the Appalachian Heritage Museum hope to restore the house to its appearance during the late 1920s or early 1930s.She said that some smaller rooms added to the house by the Dougherty family during the 1920s were removed when the house was moved to State Farm. Other rooms may not be salvageable, she said. Moretz also said that due to the amount of work needed on the house. Mystery Hill has been actively seeking contributions of both time and money from interested parties. She said that Mystery Hill em­ ploys a small crew of workers for the restoration and manual assistance may be needed. Moretz said that she hopes the local community will become involved in the project. According to Underwood, the State Properties Office stipulated that, as part of the sale, the house must be promoted as the former home of the founders of ASU. He also stated that, although the house will become the center of the Appalachian Heritage Museum, "everything inside will portray the Doughertys." Emphasis will be placed on the Dougherty House as "the home of a very real family," Moretz said. She added that the Doughertys were "real, ordinary people who did an extraordinary See DOUGHERTY Page 2 University waste reduction underway By RONNY RICHARDSON Appalachian Staff Writer Beginning later this fall a new program designed to reduce excess garbage in WataugaCounty's landfills will be imple­ mented at ASU. Chancellor John Thomas said the idea for theprogram began circulating through­ out the county in 1980. According to Thomas, county officials began to realize that Watauga's landfill sites were filling up too rapidly. With the projected cost of a new landfill to be in excess of $250,000 per acre of land, officials saw it as impera­ tive to seek new solutions to the problem. In recent years several local groups have circulated petitions to promote a recycling effort.According to Thomas, he organized a committee to implement a recycling program on campus as a result of the petitions. Physical Plant Manager Jim Rice was selected to serve on the committee. Rice stated that the main items to be recycled will include computer paper, notebook paper, aluminum cans, newspaper, and glass. Committee member Bryce Osborne added that approximately 85 percent of all trash thrown away at the University is recyclable. He conceded that while it is not realistic to expect that all the trash will be recycled, he is nonetheless confident the plan will work if officials can get cooperation from students and faculty. In Osborne's opinion, the single most important factor in the project must be the attitude of the students. "People are going to have to take the initiative to have their trash recycled in­ stead of simply throwing it away,"he said. Although the plan will require a small amount of effort, Osborne feels the bene­ fits will be worth the effort put forth. According to Osborne, recycling will allow the use of natural resources to be cut significantly. He estimated that 65 per­ cent of the university's trash is in the form of paper. He also stated that manufacturers will benefit from recycling also. According to Osborne, it is much more inexpensive to recycle a product than to make the same product from scratch. Osborne feels that recycling will also save the local taxpayers money. Accord­ ing to him, the more time the county can use its current landfills, the longer it can postpone the construction of new ones. He said that by recycling waste products, it will allow the county to use the available space in the landfills for non-recyclable items. In addition to the practical benefits, school officials also see an ethical side to the recycling project. "As a university, it is our place to edu­ cate," Osbome said. He believes that the See RECYCLING Page 2 Turn the page ...

She stressed that their accomplishments were only part of the story. Moretz further stated that the house will contain many reflec­ tions of the family, portraying the normal routine of family life in Appalachia dur­ ing the earlier part of the twentieth cen­ tury. According to Underwood, other struc­ tures will be built alongside the house to give visitors a look at Appalachian life. He said that a bam is being constructed to demonstrate turn of the century farm life. Underwood added that the bam will closely resemble theone which stood by the house when the Dougherty brothers lived there. According to Thomas, money was raised by the university in 1983 in an effort to turn the Dougherty House into a faculty club and alumni center. He stated that the money was offered back to the contributing parties and any remaining proceeds will be used toward a scholar­ ship in the Dougherty House's name. Former Director of Students to Save the House, Becky Higbee said that she supports the sale of the house to its present owners. She said she wishes the house could have been left on its original site, but that she isglad someone has decided to take careof it. She added that she feels the use of the Dougherty House as part ot the Appalachian Heritage Museum is a very good idea. "The house will be pen<-'ct' used as the Appalachian Heritage Mu­ seum because the Dougherty s h^d muc to do with the growth of this area," Higbee added. Keith Pittman, former activist for the committee, stated that he is pleased to see someone restoring the house. Pittman ees that Mystery Hill will do a good job on the restorationandwilT'helpthepeopleo t e community to realize how important it (the Dougherty House) was to the com­ munity." Facility construction underway By JAMIE CHIRSTF.NBl KY Assistant News Editor and JENELLE AUTRY Appalachian New* Editor A $19 Center is following of North nors. million Student Activity one step closer to reality approval by the University Carolina Board of Gover­ According to Vice-Qiancellor for Business Affairs Ned Trivette, the Board approved $3 million for the planning of the 12,000 seat arena-type facility, tentatively slated to be located on the vacant field adjacent to Kidd Brewer stadium. The remainder of the money will come from student fees, although Trivette said the state would appropriate more money as it is needed. The 185,000 foot facility would in­ clude playing floors, shower and locker rooms, administrative office space and meeting/conference rooms. According to Business Affiars Com­ mittee Chairman Seby Jones, the decision to build the Student Activity Center came after investigating the possibility of renovating Varsity Gymnasium at an estimated cost of $12 million. Trivette added that the $3 million already appropriated will provide suf­ ficient funds for designing the center and developing the site. He also said, "It is our plan now to move ahead and finish plans for the project and award contracts late next spring or summer to grade the site." area and what he called a convenience store. Trivette said that $1.4 million will be borrowed and paid back with part of the student fee increase approved by the General Assembly, the remain­ ing $1.4 million will come from the operating budget of food services. Trivette said the facility was needed because "Appalachian has grown to become a full-fledged regional univer­ sity. The only facility on the campus where any activity that attracts a number of people can be held is the Varsity Gym." Varsity Gym was built in the early 1960s and can seat 5,800. According to Jones, the university questioned whether or not it should put $12 million into the renovation of a building the age of Varsity Gym. Trivette commented earlier that if the new food facility had to generate enough income to pay for the $2.8 million "the cost of food there would have to be so high we couldn't pro­ vide the service." According to Trivette, ground­ breaking was scheduled to begin the week of Aug. 28. He stated, "We are expecting the contractor to move equipment onto the site any day." Trivette said that the date of comple­ tion of the new facility depends on the weather this winter. He believes the facility will open during the fall of 1990. As funding for the Students' Act­ ivities Center is being finalized, con­ struction on a new food facility on the west side of campus is beginning. According to Trivette, the facility is estimated to cost $2.8 million. It will be concave in design and overlook the duck pond in Tomlinson Park. As plans for the facility were being finalized in November, Trivette said it would contain several shops, in­ cluding small restaurants, a dining GOING, GOING, GONE!: The Dougherty House, former home of ASU's founding fathers D.D. and B.B.

Recycling Continued from Page 1 program will help inform local residents of the benefits of recycling. Thomas said he is convinced the recy­ cling program will be a long-term effort made by the University. According to Rice, students will be encouraged to become involved in the project. "Die recycling committee is now entertaining ideas of how best to motivate students to become involved in the proj­ ect. Thomas said he hopes to start some sort of contest between clubs, residence halls, and other student groups. Thomas said that one idea before the committee is to see which organization can bring in the most trash and raise the most money for Pr°iect- Thomas was quick to point out that the mainpurposeof the program is not monetary gain, but education and conser­ vation.

The long and wt of it is that we overbooked by 71 ls0 nSidered students," Mclntire said. Although there is no guaranteed way to determine the number of students who will not report to their dorms, educated guesses are made based on yearly aver­ ages. The number of students overbooked ts arrived at from these averages, Mclntire said. He added that overflow is necessary m order to maintain the desired level of occupancy. According to Mclntire two weeks prior to the opening of school a letter was mailed to all affected students. The letter explained thesituation andasked each student to bring only the essentials. The letter also stated that if the over­ crowding went beyond September 10, a refund would be issued to compensate for the inconvenience. The accommodations found for the overbooked students brought strong reac­ tions. Dustin Bryson, one of the students affected by the over-booking, said "When I first saw that I had three roommates I thought 'I have a suite?' " Joon Park, another affected student, said 'I was mad. I thought about transfer­ ring to UNCC. After I saw the room, I got madder." However, Park did feel that the other residents were "pretty cool." Trey Horack, a resident of Frank Resi­ dence Hall, agreed that the accommoda­ tions "weren't fair to the freshmen nor were they fair to the other residents of the halls." He added "It was a sad situation for all."

Rusty Futchcl, president of Frank Resi­ dence Hall's RSA, said "I arrived a week early and walked into the hall and there were 12 beds downstairs, like a homeless shelter. Then I went upstairs and there were four beds in every lobby. Of course, it was very hard to use the lobby. Actually it was impossible. The last two guys in our lobby were really nice. They actually did not want to move. Although it was a difficult week to get through, it is nice that all of them now have permanent rooms, and are none the worse for the wear." Mclntire has suggested several ways to deal with the overcrowding situation. He discussed the idea of housing freshmen and leaving uppcrclassmen without rooms if necessary. By doing this, freshmen would have the security of a room while trying to adjust to college. A second pos­ sible way to alleviate the situation, ac­ cording to Mclntire, would be requiring full payment of room fees at the time of registration. Mclntire reasoned that this would call for a more serious commitment on the part of the students and help to eliminate no-shows. Mclntire also stated that ASU is"in the planning process of building additional bed space on campus." He added that these accommodations will possibly be large, apartment-style rooms.

I9S9 Shawn O'Neal Seminar eases fears By SPEED HALLMAN Special to The Appalachian Consider the transition from high school senior to college freshman. Dr. Jimmy Smith has. 411 O'Neals of the world unite! •m slire most of you did your share of traveling this summer and I'm also sure about where many of sou went. You headed out to Podunk County, somewhere in America to partake in the annual family reunion filled with screaming brat kids, arguments still standing after 20 vears, and plenty of potato salad. My summer was no exception as I went with my family to Arkansas to elehrate my Granny Bug and Papa Pal's 50th wedding anniversary. First let me give you some family history... My grandparents don't really enjoy each other's company these days. Their only daily conversa­ tion ends up in a shouting match which results in Papa going out back to talk to the mule instead of watch­ ing his soaps. Granny Bug's voice carries over the whole 20 acres of the farm. About nine months ago, G.B. told all the children that the anniversary wasn't worth celebrating," but since all O'Neals worldwide are as stubborn as Papa's mule, we decided lo go anyway. Our sleep stop before Arkansas was my aunt's house in Memphis and there we were all briefed on the latest gossip and Smalltalk. All the news was to be kept confidential, but since all O'Neals are bigmouths, everyone in a three state area knew what was said already. Of course I didn't arrive in Memphis to hear the latest dirt, I came to see Graeeland. Just in case you've never been there, it's a poor Southern version of Disneyland. However, it does rise above the usual traps that offer killer snakes or gator rasslin', but it has the cheap ambience you probably wouldn't find in a lour of Barry Manilow's home. The house itself isn't too huge, hut you can't really see it through the hces in the front yard. Took for the Krispy Kreme doughnut shop on Elvis Presley Boulevard and the home is next door. At least the King didn't have to wander far to get his jelly doughnuts! Now to the reunion itself... Everyone in clan O'Neal was there except for my Aunt Pam. She's been banned Irom all family gatherings n°l just because she's a granola (a au* pas in many a Southern ouschold), but also because our laiT|i'y in still ashamed after she embarrassed the family name by not making "Final Jeopardy" years ago "" her lone television appearance. hie thing I had to get used to was caring a few metaphors I really ton t like to include in my pabulary.

It's as dramatic a fall as you can have," he said. Smith is the coordinator of ASU's Fresh­ man Seminar program, an optional fall semester course where freshmen find out what theuniversity offers them, learn study and time management skills and discover the value of a liberal arts education. The idea is to provide a positive transition from high school to the freshman year which "U.S. News & World Report" recently called "unkind" and "ungentle," because many students feel pressured to succeed rather than to learn. Smith said the two-year-old program is set up to give freshmen support equal to the challenges they find in college. "The class becomes a really close-knit group and we try to build them into the Appalachian community and the univer­ sity as a whole, rather than have them isolated in a dorm room and going home every weekend," Smith said. Students in the program talk about problems, which Smith said usually re­ volve around boyfriends, girlfriends, par­ ents and roommates rather than academ­ ics. "They see that those problems are very common and they can talk about how to deal with them," he added. Smith said his class had a discussion period every day for whatever has on stu­ dents' minds. One day someone men­ tioned an evangelist who visited campus and told students they were going to hell. "A discussion of religious values and other values came out of that in a natural way. It wasn't something I brought up," Smith said. "Anotherdiscussion was about dealing with the death of a friend. It was something I don't think many had talked of openly." This year 408 freshmen enrolled in 23 sections of the course, for an averageclass size of 18. Faculty members were selected to teach the classes, and they trained for a week in the spring to prepare for the class. "As a faculty member, itreally stretches you," said Smith, who is a math professor. "I deal with numbers and very concrete things, but the freshman seminar deals more with attitudes and approaches rather than cold hard facts. It really opens your eyes to the sort of problems students deal with outside of class." Eachfaculty member does things alittle differently. Most have the students keep journals, and the student and teacher can keep a running dialogue through the jour­ nal as well as in class. Pat Morgan, a political science and criminal justice pro­ fessor, said the journal was a good way to send positive reinforcement back to stu­ dents and comment on their writing style. "It's a way to reinforce their attitudes about why they're here and how success­ ful they're going to be." Students read and discuss at least one novel, attend some cultural events on campus together, and go to other events individually and report on them to the class. Some classes read and discuss an essay on the value of a liberal education. "History, English and science classes educate you to other ways of thinking and prepare you for questions you may run into in life," Smith said. "Music classes can enrich your enjoyment of life." A liberal education is important. Smith says, because most people change careers at least once, and narrow vocational training won't help in the transition. Other universities are starting similar programs to improve retention or the rate of students who return to school. Appalachian's retention is already high. Smith said, because students get close attention in other classes, but the seminar makes a slight difference: 96.9 percent of freshmen in the seminar this year returned for the second semester, compared to 95.8 percent of freshmen not in the seminar. Kristi Wherry, a sophomore from Char­ lotte, took the seminar two years ago. She said friendships made there have contin­ ued. "In working with the group you become really close to those people," she said. "Usually in a classroom setting you get to know one or two or three people, but we knew everybody. The major thing was building thoserelationships, with students and the faculty member, in the classroom setting." "You can't change a student's life in one three-hour class but you can make a difference," Smith said. "You can open their eyes and show them some new ways of doing things and give them some sup­ port while they make the transition. And it shows them that faculty members are people too.But Appalachian is pretty good at that anyway."

I'M SIGNING MY LIFE AWAY!: Don't think of Boone as a "hick town"- it's great By JONATHAN HOLLAND Appalachian Staff Writer 1 would like to begin by welcoming everyone to ASU. I'm sure many of you are new to Boone. I've already met a Floridian who has never seen the marvel snow. December will be fun. Some of you may be thinking that Boone is a small town with nothing to do. Boresville. Au Contraire. As a Boonite (Boonie?) I can assure you that this town does have its virtues. 1 would like to give you a list of the 10 best things about Boone. Ten. Boone is not crowded. Admit­ tedly on Friday afternoons the traffic gets bad, but the small town scenario still exists. This may not impress you at first. The nightlife is b.y.o. but you'll probably come to appreciate this more. Nine. Movies. Boone has three theaters, with a fourth in the works. When this is completed we'll have 15 movies showing concurrently. Plus we have several video rental stores. Eight. Heritage.

To help ease the agony for those of you who are trying to decide what to do with your life, here is some advice you may want to consider. Here, students needing career decision-making assistance can talk with a peer counselor. By using a selfassessment of the students skills, in­ terests and values, Peer Career can help match the student with possible, compatible careers. For additional help, students are welcome to inquire about SIG1 (the System of Interactive Guidance and Information) and DISCOVER. These are compatible career guidance systems that assist the impress you at first but with time it will more and more. Especially if you're interested in culture. Seven. People. Boone basically has nice people. They're generally helpful and trusting. You can strike up a con­ versation with a total stranger without worry; something you can't usually do in big cities. This makes making friends easier. When you're away from home, you don't just want friends, you need friends. Six. Food. Since you have to eat about three times a day, you might as well enjoy yourself when you do. We have pizza places, burger places, Mex­ ican, Chinese, steak places, Makotos, K.F.C. (Kentucky Fried Chicken), family-style restaurants, seafood and Boone Drug Co. Our very own ASU cafeteria has good food, also, I've eaten at another college cafeteria or two. We've got it lucky.

ANTHONY ADAMS Appalachian Staff Writer Brian De Palma's new film Casualties of War, is a look not at the atrocities of war Artistic nonsense A rather interesting argument broke the summer, one that provided Hook at the negative ramifications of what George Will has called the "Towerization" of American politics. I'm not referring to this whole burning-the-flag ihing, although that example, too, fits Ihestatement. No, I'm referring to the ihreat by conservative members of Congress, including our own beloved Sen. Jesse Helms, to cut large chunks of funding from the National Endow­ ment for the Arts. Yes, in this age of "ethics paranoia" on the Hill—when even an allegation can ruin your chances for repeating in office, when any thought in a constituent's mind that you, as an elected official, might be against the crust on Mom's apple pie, so to speak, will cause you permanent political damage, and when the churches like to think themselves bigger power blocs than any lobbyist—the funding of art is the next target for "righteous" wrath. This furor began with two artists, Robert Mapplethorpe (since deceased) and Andres Serrano. Mapplethorpe, a prolific and far-reaching photographer, got into trouble for a series of photo­ graphs depicting homoerotic and sadohistic images. Mr, §erj-ano,'s sin, |juke literally, w as a photo of a crucifix submerged in the artist's own urine. The artistic endeavors of these men have been called into question on a number of counts. They have been called "obscene," "blasphemous," "por­ nographic," "morally reprehensible trash" and "completely undeserving." It is pathetically easy to use such semantically meaningless words to condemn anything. However, it is fairly easy to admit that a crucifix in urine would be blasphemous to anyone for whom the symbol holds any meaning. And, to a heterosexual, one imagines that homosexual acts must appear foreign, even disgusting at times. Well—so what? It admits no boundaries, no restrictions. It must, by definition, remain as open and free as the artist's imagination. Otherwise, it is not art. Part of the role that must be assumed by the arts in general is the pushing and prodding of society to go to places and reach levels of awareness that it had not reached before. The photographs in question did just that. Serrano's crucifix was done, according to the mist, as a protest against the commerc'aIization of sacred imagery. I tend, with Serrano, toward disgust "[the thought that a cross or other , stian symbol such as the fishjfcan plastered onto anything from f!j™ure galleries to car dealership ^ boards. This is what is disgusting— ase °P Christian imagery, transcen 1 its historical implication, to hawk cars! Homeless shelters, sure— not Fords. And if Serrano's ^cf'x 8ets people upset, I will laugh ,al ^lc misdircctedness hi erent in their position. Which is tkjPlmP°rtant—the meaning behind rucifix, or a plastic rendering of it J ejnember the flag?)? but at the sometimes horrifying actions of war's participants. It comes hot on the heels of such critically and commercially successful films as Platoon and Full Metal Jacket, two stories thatalso centered them­ selves in the VietnamConflict. Add to this the fact that Casualties stars two house­ hold names in Michael J. Fox and Sean Penn, and it would seem that De Palma would have a major hit on his hands. And for the most part. Casualties is an excel­ lent movie, with a particularly brilliant turn from Fox. There are times, however, when De Palma undermines the film with some scenes that are as forgettable as they are unfortunate. ouiover <len|UrL^Cr' aS AncJy Warhol amply Work'StlalC<*' important aspect of a ittak 'S ^1C concePt. not the final form CS />IS such, Serrano's photograph Jnir, , llasph e i ^ m ° n S l r a t e s ^' S case b e , i e ^— n o t Pt' s rewards Erikkson (Fox) is a private who has only been in the country a month and litis true story of immoral behavior in the confines of ongoing war can only be effective if the director receives top-notch performances from his principal cash With one exception, he does. Fox brings a cha­ risma to the screen that was missing in earlier films, where he basically reprised his television role as the boy next door. His Erikkson can be morally correct with­ out being sugar-coated. So many times we see the "hero" of such a film be too right­ eous for his own good, and thus seem to the audience fake and contrived. Not Fox. He is able to make you respect him even in the face of some awful monologues. Also playing their characters well are Don Harvey, John Reilly and John Leguizamo, as the other members of the squad. Penn, while still giving the film his incredible presence, sometimes seems cartoonish as Meserve, the soldier who not only went too far but fails to see the wrongness of his actions. When he's on line with the rest of the film, he's a wonderfully evil man who can scare you right in the safety of your seats. Then, almost as if he thinks he can pull it off, Penn will slip into a parody of Meserve, and you see the character like he Cp'ct 311 aspect exists rm°re' Way a and will not go away, and 'S equaHy as valid in its 'tplicir!"5'0thcr TP16 quality, Sented ^ an^ vulncrability repreliis sun?,11!, Photographs demonstrate Joint of r ta,Cnt as a Photographer.

These photos, Didi 0n mpimyingtext byJoan St't' NONSENSE Page 10 But the main problem of Casualties, and the problem that makes this movie less comparable in quality to Platoon and Jacket, is some hokey scenes that I must admit attribute to De Palma. If I am wrong in saying that these scenes are his doing, then hopefully someone will let me know. Besides thealready mentioned monologue and some fake-looking close-ups, theentire opening and closing of the film are unnec­ essary. Come late and leave early, and maybe you'll miss what I guess can be called information about what happened to Erikkson after the war. More closely, this seems to be De Palma's way of giving a moral and tidy end to the story. These scenes of Erikkson take the place of any real information about what happened to the other four soldiers involved in the film, which is something I would like to know. Don't think I've given this film away, becauselhaven't. Between the"prologue" and the "epilogue," there is a very effec­ tive film waiting to be watched by those with strong hearts. This may be the last good Vietnam film made in a while, de­ pending upon its success and the fickle minds of those in Hollywood. In any event you've got to see Fox, just because you've never seen him like this before. And with Back to the Future II just around the comer, it's something you don't want to miss. By JIM EVANS Appalachian Staff Writer Since this is the first column I have written for any publication, I decided to write about albums that I find particularly enjoyable and moving, but still are not well known even among the progressive/ alternative/whatever crowd. The first of these albums is by a little known group from England, The Chameleons. StrangeTimes was the third and last album the band released and is a stunning conclusion to the band's devel­ opment. From the dark, acoustic "Tears," to the sonic architecture of the album's highlight, "Swamp Thing," the Chame­ leons created a style of dark, meditative, post-punk musicdistinctly their own. Other stand-out tracks are the epic study in soli­ tude, which is found on "Soul In Isola­ tion," and the driving, "Time, the End of Time."Included with the album is abonus e.p. with a cover of the Beatles' "Tomor­ row Never Knows," and David Bowie's "John I'm Only Dancing," as well as an excellentelectricversionof"Tears."From start to finish, Strange Times is THE best album for late nights and grey days. two albums prior to Strange Times. Their first album. Script of the Bridge is a more standard post-punk guitar album (take early Psychedelic Furs as a reference point), but it does include oneof the band's finest songs, "Monkeyland." Their sec­ ond album. What Does Anything Mean, Basically, while good, lacks the energy of their other releases. Itdoes, however, have a strange, intriguing atmosphere to it. In 1989 a collection of early singles and odds and ends was released under the title The Fan and the Bellows. It is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in discovering this classic underrated band. TheChameleons, however, hadreleased My second album comes from the Australian quartet, Ups and Downs. Sleepless is, in my opinion, one of the finest guitar-pop albums ever released. It is a consistently enjoyable blend of catchy melodies, crisp drumming, excellentdualguitar playing (courtesy of John Flade and Peter Shaw) and strong vocals from bas­ sist Greg Atkinson. What sets Ups and Downs apart from the numerous other bands travelling the same musical terrain is their songwriting ability. From the Cureinfluenced instrumental title track to the final song, "Travelling," the group takes familiar musical ideas and blends them into a catchy, original pop classic.

The third and final group I'll be review­ ing in this column is also the strangest. Ncgativland is an ever-fluctuating en­ semble from Concord, California that delights in turning listeners' ears upsidedown. On their fourth album, Escape From Noise, they throw everything into their sonic stew. Folky guitar strumming and everyday lyrics dominate"Nesbitt's Lime Soda," but this quickly changes to the dark, throbbing, sloganeering of "Christi­ anity Is Stupid" and the hallucinogenic sound collage of "Time Zones." Other tracks that make an impression are "Over the Hiccups," sung by a little girl with the hiccups and the manically-paced "Car Bomb." It is an album that must be owned by anybody who loves experimental music that comes with its own distinct sense of humor. Well, that's it for this week. I hope I have persuaded at least some people to go out and search for these albums to add to their collections. Until next time, happy listening!

Greer Hodes revives music By TRACI ROLISON Appalachian Slaff Writer Edith Piaf, nicknamed "La Mome Piaf," or "The Little Sparrow," was born on a Paris sidewalk in 1915. She overcame these humble beginnings to become the best-known and highest paid cabaret singer in the world. Her music will be presented when singer and dancer Elizabeth Hodes takes the stage alone on September 5 at 8 p.m. at the Rosen Concert Hall. Edith Piaf's songs reflect her sad life, which began when her mother deserted her at a very young age. Piaf for a year in Normandy. Piaf's luck with men didn't im­ prove as she seemed to attract men who abused her. Marcel Cerdan, the most popular boxer in France, made th'e deepest emotfonaT Impression on Piaf. When he died in a plane crash in the Azores in 1949 while flying to meet her, her world darkened with depression from which she never fully recovered. Her daughter Marcelle died when Edith was just 17, which added to her misfortunes. As she grew older, she slowly deteriorated as a result of her addic- Edith Piaf s songs reflect her sad life lived in Belleville with her father who beat her and didn't take care of her. Although bad memories of her childhood forever remained with her, she owed her singing talent to both of her parents who were circus per­ formers. She inherited her mother's voice, which enabled her to sing. She was eventually turned over to her grandmother, whom she lived with tion to opiates. She died in 1963 at the age of 47. Although Piaf lived a pain­ ful life she didnt regret anything, and one of her songs "Je ne regrette rien" expresses this personal motto. Elizabeth Hodes will bring the spirit of the once highest paid cabaret singer alive through music.

WE WANT YOU! �THE APPALACHIAN, THUKSDA > 10 AUGUSTN, I M Slowly but surely, "The A b y s s " succeeds By MELOME GALLEN Appalachian Staff Writer and PRUITT ALLEN Diversions Editor If you're looking for action, adventure and great special effects, and don't mind a few slow spots, the movie for you is "The Abyss." A science-horror film from the creatorof "Aliens,"JamesCameron, The Abyss" is made along the same lines. Where in "Aliens" the scene was set in outer space, however, the setting for "The Abyss" is miles deep in the cold, dark, silent ocean. "The Abyss" started out slowly, the writer assuming that you could guess the background. A nuclear submarine, the (JSS.Montana, was movingslowly along a trench near the Bahamas. Then, Montana's sonar made contact with a mysterious source, traveling faster than any earthly technology could move. The Montana, caught in its turbulence,crashed into the trench wall and sank. The U.S. military had no salvage equip­ ment readily available in the area, and, in order to beat an on-coming hurricane, drafted an experimental underwater oildrilling platform called Deepcore to pro­ vide a base of operations. Navy SEALs came down to direct the salvage, and to retrieve top-secret code books from the sub. The unintentional source of the Montana's destruction made benevolent contact a number of times. It appeared to be operating from a base deep in the trench. The military believed it to be Russian in origin, and the world topside prepared for war. The situation below quickly escalated as the SEAL leader contracted High-Pres­ sure Nervous Disorder and, his thinking disrupted, retrieved and armed a warhead from one of the missiles on the sub, send­ ing it down into the trench to destroy the "Russian" base. The conclusion, like much of the film, rushes upon you fast and furious, full of Dylan coasts in show By JEANNE IRWIN Appalachian Simfl Writer More tie-dyes, Birkenstocks and beads were seen at Carowinds on August 13th than on any given day on Sanford Mall. Whether this attire was costuming, which people stood in front of their closets forever to choose, or it was genuine isquestionable. The effect, however, was well received by the audience, as it helped set the stage for one of the founders of "modern folk" and rock and roll, Bob Dylan. The show was opened by new coun­ try cross-over artist Steve Earle, who gave an enthusiastic performance but managed to bring the crowd to their feet only once, with his hit single "Copperhead Road." Throughout the course of his 45 minutes on stage, Earle made a few well-taken com­ ments as to the state of the nation. He addressed the problem of homelessness with a song from his debut album and asked the audience to request that this record be played on their local radio stations, as all revenue front it will be donated to the homeless. Earle, unlike the headliner of the tour, was an appreciative artist. After a stage change of about 30 minutes, Boh Dylan appeared, look- ing like an aged "Booger" from Revenge of the Nerds. Flanked by Ci.E. Smith of Saturday Night Live fame on guitar, Dylan dove into his music without a greeting to the audience. Although much of the material was unfamiliar, Dylan did manage to delight the audience with such classics as an almost double-time version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" as well as "Like a Rolling Stone" and "All Along the Watchtower." Disap­ pointment ensued for many audience members, myself included, when classics such as "Blowin' in the Wind" were deleted. Also, Dylan played the mute as he never spoke to the audience, not a single thank you or even a goodbye. Contrary to the last show in Charlotte, he was armed with his harmonica that, in many ways, may have been his salvation at the show, which only lasted about 90 minutes. Being there under the stars, with Dylan's nasally tones blowin' in the wind, did prove to be an almost spiritual experience. Despite its brevi­ ty, the excision of many of the classic songs, and the audience neglect on Dylan's part, the show left concertgoers fulfilled if not completely satiated. Nonsense Continued from Page 9 beseech these gentlemen to look beyond their biases and into the world of a now-dead artist who wanted us to sec more than was there. I pity them if they cannot. The senators protesting the federal funding of these artists do so in the belief that taxpayers' money should not support these projects. Their justifica­ tion seems to be that most of their constituents would find the subject matter to be fundamentally against their beliefs. Again—so what? Or, if this means anything, we'd better cut those heavily—protested nuclear weapons right out of that budget—wow! Just think of the operas we could put on! Paying for programs not usable by, and therefore not worthwhile to, the majority is nothing new for us; it isn't even surprising, much less unjustifi­ able. Even the assumption that the major­ ity would find the works offensive is questionable. The Serrano photograph was displayed in 10 cities without inci­ dent. The only reason that the art world reacted to complaints at all lies in the heavy-handed economic threats made by the legislators. So, no one who saw the photos was overly disturbed, and only danger to overall NEA funding, not rational dia­ logue, changed anyone's mind. Does the phrase "abuse of legislative power" ring a bell? The National Endowment for the Arts exists to fund worthwhile artistic endeavor in the United States. Not ma­ terial that docs not "appeal to the prurient interest." Not material that conforms to the small-minded limita­ tions wishfully placed upon it by people who can't bear to push the boundaries of their own thinking or permit challenges to their belief out of insecurity or just plain stupidity. And above all, not material that has precisely the function that Congress wants it to have. details and amaztng speoal effect It I slow in places, but the same «n sUe approach used in "Aliens brings suspiL to the film. Adding to the: .merestus a sub-plot involving Bud and Lindsey Brigman (Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) as a married couple on th outs. The two, Lindsey, the designer o Deepcore, and Bud, its crew chief, are thrown together by the disaster just as their opposite personalities are forcing their divorce. The integration of the vari­ ous other characters and their personali­ ties gives the moviedepth andsome humor. As an overview."The Abyss" was over­ rated and drawn out, but the plot was good, the acting great, the special effects spectacular and the ending breathtaking. We recommend this movie to a scientifi­ cally minded audience with a broad vo­ cabulary and a taste for adventure.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 31. I9S9 Jeff Turner Mountaineers face Bulldogs in opener B> KEVIN KEETER Appalachian Slaff * rile* Each year with the return of students to ASU there is also the much anticipated beginning of another fruitful season of Moun­ taineer football. This Saturday will mark the begin­ ning of a new era in the ASU grid wars as Coach Jerry Moore hopes to build upon the winning tradition of the departed Sparky Woods, who is now at the University of South Carolina. Cubs win NL East The Apps open their 1989 season hosting the Gardner Webb Bulldogs, a highly rated NA1A team from the SAC-8 Conference. Both teams have a lot to prove, as the Bulldogs are coming off a disappointing 4-6-1 season and the Mountaineers hope to provide some early momentum with a season opening victory under their new coach. Appalachian holds a 2-0-0 advantage over the Bulldogs and this will be the second consecutive year they will have met, with the Moun­ taineers rolling to an easy 39-10 vic­ tory last year. This column is dedicated to all of fcoseMets fans of 1969 and the Cardinal and Expo fans that still think ihey have a chance. I might as well tell yoU now that the Cubs are going to win ihe pennant. I see you all now, especially with the headline—you are saying that the Cubs will choke just like they did in 1969, blowing a seven-game lead. But let me assure you now this team refuses to lose. , , The Cubs have one thing on their mind and that is to win the World Series and with the strong pitching of Rick Sutcliff and Greg Maddox, along with Rookie of the Year Jerome Walton, the Cubs can feel it. Those players with two former MVP's, Andre Dawson and Ryne Sandberg, the boys from Chicago can smell pennant fever. Don Zimmer has turned an okay team into a team that can play with the big boys. Unlike the Cub teams of the past, when they were down after Harry Caray sang 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game,' the Cubs knew no more runs would be produced so they might as well pack up their bags. No sir, this Cabs team plays until the last out of the bigame, winning many ball games with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. But Zimmer just took over a team that needed a little push. The top twovote getters for Rookie of the Year are going to be Cubs. Walton should win it with Dwight Smith coming in a close second. Many people say when Dawson stops hitting, the cubs will start losing. Wrong answer—the Cubs took over first place while Dawson was in his worst slump of the year. Everyone knows that Mitch Webster will hold the bullpen together, but what about the bench? How about Lloyd McLeadon, the most versatile player in baseball? The man can play five different positions, including catcher, which he played on Sunday against Atlanta. Think back really hard to the days when the Braves were good. You might remember a kid by the name of Jerry Roster. Roster held the Braves together; when someone went down, he would oonte in and not much was lost. The same thing can be said about oLcadon. Rarely does a day go by *hen he is not either playing or pitchNo sir, this is not the old Cubs who iii s ^ by the time the Star break arrives. No, these are the lew Cubs. 6 wayside I know if you spent your summer in °one like I did, you could not enjoy jjOCubs because the dumb people at oone Cablevision are too cheap to k But when I go home to see 'ni, I see a team stealing bases, using and run plays and Damon Berry hill iini°|Wm® oul fanners trying to steal Jody Davis used to do. douh^K 10 adm't though I had my ore I saw them play.

The Mountaineers, on the other hand, have many question marks at key positions, such as quarterback and both kicking positions. Freshman D.J. Campbell must step in and assume the quarter back position w ithout the luxury of gaining valuable experience as a back-up. Jay Millson and Harold Alexander, who are tak­ ing over place-kicking and punting duties will also be playing in their first college game. However, the offensive line is fairly experienced and led by pre-season All-American Derrick Graham (6-6, 294) and Mike Strickland (6-4, 290). They could open up some big holes for Ritchie Melchor, who needs just 33 yards to surpass 2,000 yards for his career. The Mountaineer'sdefense should be a strong point this season. So look for an impressive performance from the defense, which is anchored by a number of experienced and talented players. Regardless of the unknowns about the ASU team, the Mountaineers will win on Saturday. The margin of vic­ tory, however, will depend on how well the team reacts in a game situa­ tion to a new coach and the system he has implemented. Appalachian Photo by Karon Popo J OOI BALL: Appalachian Slate prepares for die Saturday match-up with the Bulldogs from Gardner-Webb. The game will mark the first for Jerry Moore as head coach of the Mountaineers. Kick-off for the game is at 1:30 p.m. in KiddBrcwer Stadium. Moore comes from the University of Arkan­ sas where he was an assistant coach. Though ASU will be favored, the Bulldogs should not be taken too lightly. They return 15 starters from last year and as ASU Coach Moore said, "They are obviously wellcoached and have some considerable size and key players at the skilled positions. . and we have so many areas that are unknowns for us..." The most notable position for the Bulldogs is runningback, where they are led by senior Darrell Middleton The kickoff for the game is at 1:30 pm in Kidd Brewer Stadium. Students, faculty, and staff are urged to attend. So let's have a tremendous crowd to support our Mour aineers and hope this to be just the first of many wins for the Apps in the 1989 season. Winning traditions will be carried on by freshmen By MARK GILTMIER Appalachian Staff Writer The 1989 Appalachian State Moun­ taineer football program, following the departure of Sparky Woods and 21 play­ ers from last year's squad, must heavily depend on this year's freshman recruits. Six freshmen will hold starting posi­ tions this year for the Mountaineers in­ cluding the positions of punter, kicker, and most importantly, quarterback. Appalachian's starting quarterback, Lance Redding, was declared academi­ cally ineligible for the 1989 football sea­ son which left the Mountaineers turning to freshman D.J. Campbell. Campbell is a 6'2", 175 lb. quarterback out of Cleve­ land, Georgia. He was named All-State and All-Area as a senior and threw for over 1,500 yards. Campbell also rushed for 750 yards while passing for 12 touch­ downs and running for six more. Not only is Campbell a good football player, he was a three-sport letterman at White County High School where he earned four letters in football, basketball, and baseball. Campbell's only problem is experience. He will be stepping into a starting job facing the likes of Wake Forest, Furman, Marshall, and The Citadel. Quarterback is not the only key posi­ tion for which the Mountaineers will be relying upon freshmen. After the loss of Tony Cox, ASU was hurting for a punter tha; could step right in and do the job. The Mountaineers found Harold Alexander, a 6 '3", 195 lb. punter out of Pickens, South Carolina. Alexander was named All-State punter as a senior, averaging 42.6 yards per kick. He was also selected All-Area punter in his final season and participated in the Shrine Bowl. The Mountaineers will ask another freshman to fill big shoes at placekicker when the 1989 football season begins. After watching the exciting Bjorn Nittmo for four years. Mountaineer fans will have to put their faith into freshman Jay Milson, a 5' 11", 164 lb. kicker out of Orange Park, Fla. Milson was named All-City kicker in his senior year and did not miss a point after a touchdown in his last two seasons. The Mountaineers who saw they needed running backs in the years to come went out and recruited four exciting young ballplayers. Dexter Baldwin, a 5'11", 198 running back out of Durham. He played in the Shrine Bowl and was named by his high school as the best all around athlete as a senior. Reaves was chosen All-Area and is a two-time All-Conference chbice and a two year All-City/County running back. Probably the most highly antici­ pated running back out of the four re­ cruited is A1 Ellis, a 5'11", 187 lb. running back out of Black Mountain. Ellis was named honorable mention All-America pick by "USA Today" as he rushed for 1,503 yards and 20 touchdowns as a sen­ ior. He also averaged 6.6 yards per carry in his final season. The Mountaineers recruited six de­ fensive linemen and two offensive line­ men. The defensive linemen include Will Robinson (5'10", 180 lb.—Euslis, Fla.), Brandon Sensabaugh (6'3", 260 lb.— Fla.). Anderson was a two-time All-Area, All-Conference, and All-County grid se­ lection. The 19f89 Appalachian'footbal] temp's recruiting class consists or 21 players. Broken down it's six defensive linemen, two offens i ve linemen, four running backs, four linebackers, two tight ends, one wide receiver, one punter, and onequarterback. This year's recruiting class is very strong and solid ancl will definitely help, the AS U foolbaUpjqg^i,ig^egjsjp-^wne. Some of the ^gye/^ vBAhave4o. help immedi­ ately.. Only time will tell if those players will help enough to capture a Southern Conference crown. Six freshmen will hold starting positions for the Mountaineers including the positions of punter, kicker and, most importantly, quarterback. lb. running back out of Fayettcville was named All-Conference and All-Area as a senior. He rushed for 1,264 yards as a senior and also showed leadership capa­ bilities on the field serving as teamcaptain his final year. Quenton King, a 6'2", 180 lb. running back out of Lakeland, Fla. rushed for 1,135 yards and 11 touchdowns in his final year. J.K. Reaves is a 6'0", 185 lb. Kingsport, Tenn.), Greg Shelton (6'5", 225 lb.—Fayettcville, Ga.), Wayne Brown (6'2", 240 lb.—Brevard, N.C.), Avery Hill (6'2", 260 lb.—Gainesville, Ga.), and Sean Swoope (6'2", 230 lb.—Rock Hill, S.C.). Swoope was an honorable mention AllAmerica pick by "Sports Illustrated". The offensive line recruits will includeTim Smith (6'7",245 lb.—Iva,S.C.) and Chris Anderson (6'3", 245lb.—Tampa Freshman QB Garner Jeff Turner The Appalachian Sports Editor looks Kurt Ward The Appalachian Asst. Sports Editor Jeff Piercey WASU Sports Director Shawn O'Neal The Appalachian Sports Guy Appalachian Photo by Karon Pope Jim Garner Guest Predictor ASU Athletic Director ahead By JEFF TURNER Appalachian Sports Kdilor It has been a long summer for Athletic Director Jim Garner, but the summer is over and with it comes another year of college sports. "The first thing 1 am looking at is the start of football season; it is one of excitement with a question mark," said Garner. The question mark Garner is referring to is freshman quarterback D.J. Campell. "We could be looking at anything from a middle of the road season to a great year," said Garner. But this football season brings something else new, a new era of foot­ ball at ASU under first year coach Jerry Moore. But before the last touchdown is scored, the basketball teams will have already taken the floor. And this year's Men's Basketball team has the players to win the Southern Con­ ference.

"I remember all the guys that are here. They are com­ mitted to our program. The kids are here to play hard," said Moore.

W ARD \wi\lanl Spurts Kdilur The Appalachian State University soccer squad will kick off its schedule this Friday, Sept. 1, at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The team will host Warren Wilson in the 4:30 p.m. event. This will be the two teams' 17th meeting with the Mountaineers holding a 10-5-1 advantage in the series. The team consists of 30 members (four seniors, 10 juniors, six sophomores, and 10 freshmen). Of the squad members, 19 are from North Carolina. The team represents eight states and Trinidad, West In­ dies. Last year's squad compiled a 6-11-3 overall mark. The ASU bunch finished second in the Southern Con­ ference, behind Furman with a 3-1-0 record. The App squad was 2-4-3 at home and 4-7-0 on the road in 1988. The team is headed by Coach Art Rex, who will be returning for his ninth season at ASU. Rex has directed Appalachian Stale to three Southern Conference titles (1981, 1982, 1985) and has twice been named Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year (1984, 1985). Rex served two seasons (1979, 1980) as assistant coach under Hank Sleinhreeher before taking the helm as the head coach. ASU posted a 23-9 record during those two years, won the Southern Conference title both years, and went to the 1980 NCAA Playoffs. Rex graduated from Slippery Rock in 1977, where he was a two-time NAIA All-American. Rex, a fouryear soccer letterman at SRU, served as team captain in both his junior and senior seasons and set school records lor goals scored in a game, season and career. Rex went on to become a three-year professional soccer player with the Pittsburgh Spirit (MISI ), Denver Avalanche (MISI ), and Con­ necticut Yankees (ASF). Appalachian Stale began its soccer program in 1962. Since that time, the Mountaineers have recorded a 206-154-26 mark. Since joining the Southern Conference, the school has posted an overall 171-92-19 record. The 1984 squad holds the school record for most victories, at 15. The 1988 team was the fourth in school history to lose 10 matches in a year, with the 1982 squad dropping 13 deci­ sions. ASU holds an 87-10-6 record in 17 seasons of Southern Conference play. As a member of the conference, Ap­ palachian has outscored conference opponents 430-88 in 103 loop matches since 1972. From October 20, 1976, to October 7, 1982, the Mountaineers were undefeated in 40 consecutive league matches. Only two times in 17 seasons have the Mountaineers finish­ ed below second place in the con­ ference, the last time coming in 1987, when they finished third. Against current Southern Con­ ference soccer squads, ASU has posted an overall 51-6-2 record. Ver­ sus The Citadel, the Mountaineers stand 13-1-1: against Marshall, ASU is 12-1-0; in matches with Virginia Military Institute, the Apps are 20-0-0 and with Furman, the Mountaineers are 1-6-4-1..

BOYKIN Appalachian Opinion Editor Students must learn how to learn before they can get a Why would anyone choose to pay this amount of money on the slim hope that his appeal would be successful? This must have been what security was hoping when they proposed this change. Now that security will have a smaller workload, it should follow that they will justifiably reduce their oftice personnel. Leave it to security to take one of the few outlets students have for protest and turn it into a money making enter­ prise. Another new rule for students and university employees to consider is that anyone receiving his fourth (last year it was sixth) parking viola­ tion in any given semester will be banned from parking on campus for the remainder of that semester. Therefore, students unable to find a parking space in their assigned lot will be risking their current parking "privileges" if they choose to park in another lot. Perhaps the most miserable realization of parking at ASU come when one considers what he or she can do to improve the parking situa­ tion. Complain? People have been complaining for years to no avail, as evidenced by this year's situation. This problem simply can't be ignored another year. The solution is obviously more parking lots, and although parking decks have been discussed for years, no sign of construction can be seen. While parking decks are a close-to-ideal solution, they will play no part in alleviating this vear's situation. Immediate steps need to be taken to help lessen this year's problem. Whether these steps include replacing current security personnel with individuals more apt to push the university to action or utilizing more student opinion and ideas through special committee work is subject to debate. For now, however, students are going to have to endure these substandard conditions by actions such as allowing an extra hour each morning to search for a parking space. teemed professors' salaries in exch^' Some teachers offer to give good gl?'01111 information, thereby cheating the syste ing us unprepared into today's cmX(^dUsb» futures are at stakeevery time westep im ^ most common means of studying, and analyzing. Memorizing is simply repeating information as many times as necessary to be able to play it back like a parrot. It is sometimes known as "parroting. Analyzing is taking often complex information and breaking it down into its component parts, giving careful scrutiny to each facet. It is not memorizing so much as understanding how it came about and how it acts and interacts within its environment. Studying information in this manner gives a multi­ dimensional understanding to complex propositions which will not simply be forgotten an hour after exams. It is not easy learning how to analyze information. However, it is much easier to succeed in school and subsequent careers after mastering this method of learn­ ing. Learning how to use this thinking process will not turn a moron into a genius, but many students who seem like P" dation on which to build our post-ed ** ^ real college education.

Raise your eyebrows. OK, we'll multiply the few honest ones by about 10 to include those who have already forgotten that they ever "learned" this art. The reason most students have trouble with these and similar exercises is that analytical thought is suppressed in our primary and secondary school systems in an effort to promote conformity and give educators a sense of control. Questioning information, philosophies and methods is discouraged when we are young, thereby stunting our morons are only limited by their method. ability to dissent and individualize as we grow older Students must understand the logic behind analysis (sounds communist to me, comrade.) We must treat the before they can apply it to learning. It is simple.

We cannot understand how water came about without minds to new ways of thinking in an effort to become understanding hydrogen and oxygen and how they affect each other. We cannot understand sentences without understanding subjects, predicates, nouns, verbs, objects, prepositions, etc.... and their place in a sentence. Many students never have completely understood sentences. The student parking situation at ASU has rarely been acceptable. Some sentences are more complex than others: they take This year, however, it has become intolerable. more in-depth analysis. Being able to completely break In past years, the security office could only be accused of appearing unconcerned towards the needs of students. Now one must question its competency. For instance, anyone trying to find a parking space in the stadium parking lot soon realizes that the number of cars authorized to park there is far greater than the number of spaces available. At ASU a parking stieker does not necessarly permit one to park, it simply allows you the right to search for a space. Coupled with this is the fact that almost 50 badly needed spaces are currently inaccessible due to construction of the new west campus food facility. Campus expansion is usually positive, but when it increases other problems, poor planning is reflected. Why hasn't the administration stepped in and attempted to rectify this problem? An answer might bqjhat high level administrative park­ ing is conveniently located behind gates and only accessible with a special card. The administration may not see the severity of the pro­ blem because they simply aren't affected by it. fo compound (his problem, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to change the appeal policy. Now any student, faculty or staff member wishing to appeal a parking ticket must pay a five dollar "processing" fee refundable only in the event that the appeal is suc­ cessful. Michael Boykin masters of our own destiny. Many students will argue that most information given to them by professors is not worthy of such in-depth treatment.

Anybody torched any good flags lately! By ERIC D. MILLER Appalachian Managing Editor You know, there is absolutely nothing that can match the smell of a good flag burning. This is one of life's small pleas­ ures that I absolutely can't live without. The way the flames slowly consume the stars and stripes that represent the country which my forefathers died for is—really— heaven. Well, now that you are fully aware of my absolute love for burning Old Glory, I'm sure you can understand why I am rather incensed at President Bush's notion that flag burning should be illegal. I mean, yeah, sure it is an infringement of our constitutional rights, and sure it is a rather stupid thing for the person we're paying $200,000 a year to think about, butnoneof this really matters to me. I, and the mil­ lions (maybe billions) of dedicated flag Party revel-ation By DAWN DAKIN tppuiuchiiin Mall \\ rilcr Too many partygoers cannot han­ dle themselves. These people are an­ noying to students who do not overin­ dulge at parties. Worse yet, these peo­ ple take the party travelling through streets and dormitories after the more sober people have gone home to rest. These partiers spend maybe three hours drinking tequila, beer and cocktails and another three hours moaning, groaning and tossing it all back up. It is all great fun except when these people are in the wrong place when it comes time to toss it all back up. I don't care if they want to lose it on a tree or bush because, while the local fauna doesn't thrive on pro­ cessed alcohol, it doesn't die of it either. No, what bothers me is when our hero is in the hallway of, oh, say a dorm, and decides to leave the dorm's inhabitants a small present. So this great partygoer yaks all over the floor. Of course, it's a Saturday night, and the housekeeping staff won t be in until Monday to accept this wonderful gift. Another sport ol party people is making loud noises. I'm sure it is a scientific fact that drunk people not hear. This means that they yell everything very loudly in the hopes that their partner might understand. It doesn't matter that drunks yell, it's that they do it under my window at 3:00 a.m. on a Monday morning. And people do not just talk loudly when they are drunk, they do EVERYTHING loudly. The couple in the room below me were engaging in a popular college sport last weekend and seemed to be enjoying it. If that guy was as good as his girlfriend pro­ claimed she ought to lease him out and rake in the bucks. Also, every drunk believes wholeheartedly that he was gifted with the most beautiful singing voice in the world. He wants everyone to hear it. Security should round them all up for an ASU singalong, strictly BYOB. Or maybe Security ought to issue muzzles. However, there is one thing that bothers me more than anything. ASU and many other organizations have invested thousands of dollars in the forms of scholarships, grants and loans in these revelers. It makes me sad and angry to hear students talking about how drunk they were the night before and, as a result, not being alert enough to show up for their morning class. They think it's funny that some fool is actually paying his way through college. If you are one of these people, why don't you just quit school and let somebody worthwhile use that money. I know that 1 can use The group most at risk seems to be the incoming freshman class. It is hilarious to see freshmen party. They are so stoked about not having their parents around that they undergo a complete personality change. Anytime anyone says party the freshmen are off "in search of.. » They have been on more "missions" than Captain Kirk. Just give them a few more weeks and they will have it down to an art form, right? The saddest part of it all is that all o these "great" people who party are looked upon as folk heros. When People get together to discuss a peer inevitably the subject's party wS ess is discussed.

I also have some dinnerware with the flag printed on the bottom. Sometimes when I'm really in a bad mood I break a plate or two. I consider this to be one of my personal coping skills. So, is breaking flags going to be illegal too? How about chewing on them? (Thiscan beareal pickme-up when I'm working hard and don't have the time for a full-fledged burning.) I know what you're thinking. I'm a commie. Well, sorry to disappoint you, but I am an equal opportunity burner. I bum the Soviet flag, the Chinese flag, the French flag. Boy Scout flags; it doesn't matter. If it's a flag, I bum it. I suppose by this time a lot of you are probably considering becoming flag burn­ ers yourselves,or maybe newspaper burn­ ers. In my opinion the latter would be a much greater evil. You see, if you burn a flag, all you are burning is a symbol. Surely, it is a symbol of quite a great thing, which many people have given their lives Would it even show a great deal of 4j spect for Christianity?

Unfortunately, many freshmen forget esc valuable skills and decide to take the easy alternative of Greek life. It's a pack­ age deal.

When I Jbuy my P a r k i n g s t , c k e r lhi to think that perhaps people have dif­ ferent interpertations of the term "walking distance." Walking distance is very much subject to one's physical fitness and degree of laziness (a source of personal pride.) 1 think I bought my sticker from a triathlete. To some people I guess two miles could be considered walking distance. Heck, I guess Blowing Rock is "walk­ ing distance." If I didn't have any plans, I guess 1 could also pop up one morning for a leisurly stroll to Cleveland. Anyway, 1 walked out of the gym (where I suppose security office per­ sonnel train for walks) with my sticker in hand. But I wasn't happy. Oh, perhaps I forgot to tell you that 1 dished out 50, count 'em, $50 for my sticker. I realize that my complaints will fall on deaf ears to all the other folks who are also presently out 50 big ones. Boy, I don't know about you, but that's a lot of money to me. My mom wouldn't bail my dad out of jail for $50. If you owe someone in my house a dollar and you don't pay it back right away, room and board become uncertain. You see, in all fairness, I wasn't the one cheated out of 50 greenbacks. It was my parents. So in all actuality this article is from four confused and irked people: myself, who basically just saw his in­ heritance flushed down the john; my parents who see this as a golden op­ portunity to lease out my room for life; and my brother, who always gets miffed when I receive large sums of cash, no matter what the reason. My question is this. "Where the heck does all this money go?" Just how much does it cost to keep pave­ ment in tip-top shape? That's the question I hope someone can give me an answer to in the near future. As for myself, 50 bucks seems overly expen­ sive, even if they did see me coming. Perhaps I'm simply not adept in the art of parking politics. It's just that I'm not really looking forward to the coming months, when perhaps I might need to ask my parents for something as trivial as money for food. At least I can rest assured that my car is parked in the Finest confines money can buy. If I keep believing that, Lord knows how much I'll be willing to pay next year. Anyway, I have to catch the Apple Slug, or it looks like I'll be walking. There's no doubt in my mind that too much of that may cause irreparable damage to my mother's second favorite son.

What was worse was that I out that several of my new were in the same situation, stranded in unfamiliar tervith a low bank account and a , growling stomach, I looked ay out of my situation. I called ither back home (a pillar of id last resort) and she said help the way. Unfortunately, that care package wouldn't arrive least a week, and human sustenance would be needed long before that. What was I to do now? The answer was beg! And beg I did, most regrettably. Eventually, I discovered through talking to other freshmen that other fees and problems kept popping up unexpectedly. Several of my friends and I had work which needed to be typed. We didn't bring typewriters and the administration told us not to bring computers. When we arrived on campus we expected to be able to use the school's computers and word pro­ cessors whenever we wanted to. Little did we know that another 15 dollar fee was required for that, and the wait was longer than the cafeteria lunch lines. Other things such as book fees hit hard. I was under the assuption that all books were free for rental. Then, as classes began, I found out that only hardback books were included. I had to pay for over 40 dollars worth of paper-back material. Parking fees also were an added problem. Although the fee is only twenty dollars per year, the parking' area is over three miles from campus, which is well beyond walking distance. Parking is almost impossible here at ASU. Finally, getting back to the food dilemma, even with a meal card it's hard to make it here with a standard meal option. Any decent meal costs 4-5 dollars. At three meals a day (12-15 dollars), a standard meal plan of $450.00 would only last around 30 school days. I know that statistically 1 won't even make it to Thanksgiving! What the university administration should have done was notify both students and their families of the situation well before we students ar­ rived on campus. 1 had no idea (nor did my family) that I wouldn't have a meal card when I arrived, and my friends didn't realize how much money it would take to get settled in. The bill should have included room, board and all other fees in the first place, and none of this ever would have happened. Hopefully, next year things will be different, and poor, in­ nocent freshmen will not starve in the guttcrs of ASU. 2 Concord Sony Harmon Kardon Kicker Advent 4 "Hello, Emily.

As the 1989-90 school year draws to a close SGA President Gary Greene and Vice President Frank 'Moose' Callis feel that t icir term in office has been very successful According to Callis, SGA has ac­ complished many of its goals this year ' m very happy that we were able to ac­ complish so many of the things we set out to do, Callis said. Both Green and Callis feel that two of their administration's top accomplishments were the addition of condom dispensers to residence halls and the implementation of the Tipsy Taxi Service. Greene and Callis agree that the condom dispensers could save lives at ASU. Accord­ ing to Greene, three out of every 1000 peopie have AIDS and do not know it! Out of these three, Greene estimates that at least two will be sexually active. "This means that with around 10,000 students here at ASU, 30 could have the disease and not know it." Greene said. "(The condom bill) is something that could save a life " Callis added. Greene noted that UNC-Chapel Hill pass­ ed a recommendation to its administration that condom dispensers be placed on their campus. Greene feels that the push for con­ dom dispensers on campuses across the state has been influenced by the SGA at AoU. WCEIGAS SB 5T1TT Frank "Moose" Callis Greene said that Mountaineer Escort ser­ vice tripled during his administration. He feels that with Mountaineer Escort and the recent addition of more courtesy phones, campus is a much safer place. Greene said that he was very active in promoting the need for Greek housing to the administration and the ASU Board of Directors. "Greek- housing wouldn't just help the greeks," Greene said. "It would help the environment at ASU." According to Green, SGA has been in­ strumental in improving relations between the university and the town of Boone. "In November we collected over 500 pounds of non-perishable food and a lot of Tugman says weapons are not prominent By DANA JACOBS X|)|):ib(liiun sinc| \\ rift . Weapons at ASU are less prominent than at other urban colleges, according to Direc­ tor of Public Safety and Security Roy Tugman. "ASU does not have a serious problem wi;h weapons," Tugman said. "However, there has been a couple of violations with weapons. Ninety-nine percent of the time, those weapons are over-sized knives." ASU goes by the North Carolina Statutes for Possession of Weapons on School Grounds. The school grounds are classified as residence halls, football stadiums, baseball fields, tennis courts and any other property owned by the university. A weapon can be defined as "a gun, rifle, pistol, dynamite cartridge, bomb, grenade,' mine, powerful explosive, bowie knife, dirk, dagger, sling shot, leaded cane, switch-blade, blackjack, metallic knuckles, and other sharp pointed or edged instru­ ment, except unaltered nail files, clips and tools solely for preparation of food instruc­ tion and maintenance," North Carolina, Crimes stated. "A weapon can be classified as almost anything, depending upon its use. A razor blade can be considered a weapon if it is struck at a person." Associate Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Barbara Daye said. So£i£tIJeor!anized By CAROL HUGHES Appalachian Staff Wriler Gamma Beta Phi began their restructur­ ing campaign by inducting new sponsors at an Inductions Ceremony last Wednesday. The Spring Inductions Ceremony was the last official meeting for Gamma Beta Phi sponsor and Assistant Dean of the General College Dave Smith. Smith requested that History Professor Dr. Peter Petschauer, and his wife Joni W. Petschauer of the Upward Bound and Lear­ ning Assistance Program, take over as spon­ sors of Gamma Beta Phi. Smith has been Gamma Beta Phi's spon­ sor since 1983 when he substituted for History Professor Dr. White. Smith is planning to retire in the near Future, and by changing hands now he will have time to help the new sponsors if necessary. The transition of the sponsors is the first in a series of restructuring activities for this honor and service society. The club is cur­ rently one of the largest on campus with 470 members including the 180 that were in­ ducted Wednesday. A decentralization of the organization will take place in the coming year in an at­ tempt to make the club more effective. "Decentralization will call on more effi­ ciency so we can put members abilities and See SOCIETY Page 2 "I have talked to several students who have violated this law," Daye said. "Most of those students say they carry weapons for their protection. They travel a lot, therefore, they feel the need for a weapon, they use a weapon as their defense." But most students do not know the law and do not understand exactly what is classified as a weapon," Daye said. " I he ASU Student Handbook states the statute in which we go by. Students need to read the information and learn it." Campus violators are referred to Student Court. "A person is guilty if he possesses a weapon on any property or bus owned or used by any public or private school ot col­ lege," North Carolina Crimes states. Some weapons are brought out in the open when drinking is involved. "The students get a bit more defensive, and usual ly an argument or fight occurs. A weapon will be brought out for their protection," Daye added. College of Business reaccredited By ASU NEWS BUREAU The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSP) has renewed the accreditation of ASU's Walker College of Business. The renewal was approved at the AACSB's annual meeting April 18 in Mon­ treal . Only 29 of the 53 schools under review were reaccredited. Some 266 schools are ac­ credited by AACSB. curriculum, library and computer resources and services, financial resources, educa­ tional innovation and technology, and adherence to AACSB standards. Schools are reviewed for renewal every nine years. Appalachian has been unde, review since 1987. The Walker College of Business undergraduate program was accredited in 1976 and the graduate program was ac­ credited in 1981. The college has approx­ imately 3000 students and more than 90 fulltime faculty members.

HUGHES Appalachian Staff Wriler James R. Ridley lectured on the change of the insurance industry at Broyhill Music Auditorium last Wednesday. Ridley, Chairman of the Board of Direc­ tors, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Integon Corporation was the third speaker in a series of lectures sponsored by the John A. Walker College of Business. The Distinguished Lecture Series is open to students, faculty and local businessmen. Ridley's main topic covered the necessary steps that need to be taken because of the accelerated change in the insurance industry.

He said that SGA has implemented a three-stage campus wide clean up project that involves regulating the posting of materials inside campus buildings, the placement of six to eight Kiotse boards of campus by Fall '89, and a new regulation banning the posting of materials on academic buildings, trash cans, etc... "Materials will not be allowed on outdoor places that are not normally designated as bulletin board areas," Greene Statutes dictate law '"f charges of $10 per day. T|) money for the hungry people in Watauga County," Greene said. He also noted that SGA has helped with clean-up projects in Boone. Greene feels that another of SGA's top accomplishments of the year was the im­ plementation of a weather policy which "cancels classes without leaving it up to someone's discretion." He said that the policy, which will go into effect in the fall semester, sets certain conditions which, when met, will automatically cancel classes. Greene also noted that there will be a December graduation next year and that in May there will be a full graduation. "Everyone will be together," lie said. "When a person's name is called, be will stand. Students will go to their individual college to receive their diplomas. It's the best of both worlds." Callis said that he would like to he remembered as a vice president "who believed in (SGA), but tried not lo take everything so seriously." Greene hopes to be remembered as "one ot the best SGA presidents that Ap­ palachian has ever had." He urges anyone who is not involved in activities other than classes lo "get in an active role of participa­ tion in our community and Appalachian. You can only learn so much from classes and books, he says. "But you'll never know how much working for the students in something like SGA, The Appalachian, WASU, or The Rhododendron will help you develop the skills you'll need in the future." last Thursday destroyed the interior of Smithey's Department store. According to Fire Chief Reginald Hassler, the fire started in the kitchen area and was caus­ ed by grease in the kitchen near the back of the store. The store is located on West Kings Street across from the Watauga County Courthouse. The Boone j Fire Department was aided at the scene by the lire department from Blowing Rock. According to The Watauga Democrat, the firefighters remained at the scene of the fire until 6 p.m. Thursday niglu. According to Ridley the past decade has changed the history of the insurance industry more tl^n the longevity of the industry. One of the attributing factors for the major changes is the development of AIDS and the coverage (or noncoverage) of the disease. He said that by the 1990's the industry expects 10 percent of all claims filed will directly relate to AIDS. The rapid growth of insurance profit due to buyer awareness has put the industry into a new perspective, he said. The past few years has led to a profit jump in insurance from $107 million to $161 million. integon Corporation has also laced the industry changes. Within 20 years, Integon has been put up for sale twice and put chased once. Ridley said predictability is no longer commonplace in the business of insurance. "Change is the only thing that is predie table about insurance," Ridley said. "The prospects are far beyond what we ever imagined." Ridley summed up the insurance industry with a quote from Henry Kissinger: " Ihere can t be a crisis next week, because my schedule is already full." The lecture closed with a question and answer session based on the lecture and the insurance industry, Ridley was accompanied by six fellow members of the Distinguished Council ol Executives. The members are as follows: Douglas D. Brendle, president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Brendles Inc.; Paul J .

Administrators, moreover, said they would consider obliging the pro­ testors "There are sleeping bags, pillows and the strewn bodies of students," the student body president's secretary Charles Manti said. "They're serious and they're there." May has said the students, who first batged in April II, "are welcome to stay as long as they like," reported sophomore Dan Bernard. I he increase, approved by the UNM board of regents, would add about $100 a year or $50 per semester to the UNM's annual in-state tuition ol $1,272. Student Charles Manti conceded UNM's tuition is relatively low, "but New Mexico is a poor state with a latgc minority population, so a small increase has a big impact." UNM has raised its tuition a total i of 42 percent since 1986. It has not been alone. In many cases, schools have been imposing hikes for next year that are steeper than New Mexico's. Students at Oklahoma's state cam­ puses, for example face tuition in­ creases of up to 24 percent, while those at Texas public colleges could pay as much as 12.5 percent more in 1989-90. The 13 California State University campuses will raise their fees 10 per­ cent. Total student costs—including room and board—will raise nine per­ cent at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. The University of Miami's prices are going up 9.8 per­ cent. A 6-to-8 percent increase is as good a guess as any" for average tui­ tion hikes nationwide, Art Hauptman of the American Council on Educa­ tion in Washington, D.C., estimated. In recent weeks, the C.W. Post campus of l ong Island University, Broome County Community College and I ouisiana College, among scores of others, announced tuition hikes closer to Hauplman's estimate. Student resistance has been sporadic. Only about 30 students showed up to protest a hike at Pcnn State University in late January. In Michigan, a Grand Valley State University student managed to gather 302 signatures in half a day on a peti­ tion lo protest a $45 fee increase, but arrived too late at a Board of Control meeting to deliver it directly to cam­ pus govenors. At New Mexico, students were most upset they had not been con­ sulted about the increase. Our representatives arc presented with a budget number and asked, 'What do you think?' but they have no way of knowing if those figures are accurate. We would like to sec students involved in the process," Chairman Bruce Harrison, of UNM's Graduate Student Association council said. They also have asked UNM not to approve tiny increase without study­ ing its impact on minorities and women.

It was the March 23 claim that Utah Professor Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann of England's University of Southampton had produced fusion energy with a simple tabletop experi­ ment done at room temperature. They obtained their results by pass­ ing an electrical current through heavy water using a palladium rod, generating four times more energythen they used to create the fusion. Scientists have been trying to produce energy through fusion for almost 50 years, but could manage to do so only by using extremely high pressures and temperatures to literally fuse subatomic parts together. In all prior experiments, it took more energy to heat the atoms than the fusion ultimately created. But the prospect of efficient fu­ sion which would offer a source of clean, inexhaustible energy to replace fossil fuels and nuclear fission—has kept scientists trying to make it work. Consequently, Pons and Fleischmann's work—announced at a Salt Lake City press conference in ad­ vance of the publication of their results in the scientific journal Nature—surprised the world's scien­ tists. Laboratories at Kossuth, Hungary, Moscow University, Texas A&M, Georgia Tech, Massachusetts In­ stitute of Technology and the univer­ sities of Washington and California, among others, are trying to duplicate the experiments. On April 17 Pons estimated as many as 60 labs were trying to duplicate his results. He claimed most had succeeded. Yet some members of the scientific community are not convinced Pons and Fleischmann did achieve "fusion in a jar," as Phillip Schewe of the American Physical Society called it. Georgia Tech researchers followed the announcement that they had duplicated the Utah results by an­ nouncing their results may have been distorted by a piece of equipment that measured heat ratner than neutrons. neat rather "It's not as sure a thing as it was," senior researcher James Mahaffey said. "It seemed like a sure thing. Now, I'm getting nervous." Two Unviersity of Washington graduate students who claimed to find indications of fusion in an experiment they conducted still think they may have produced fusion. Van L. Eden and Wei Liu, U.W. physics students, admit they did not duplicate the Utah experiments exactly. Researchers at the California In­ stitute of Technology would not com ment on their own attempts to create fusion, but said they were very skep­ tical about Pons and Fleischmann's claims. Dr. K. Birgitta Whaley of CalBerkley, however, said she had found a mechanism that might explain the Utah results. And Texas A&M's researchers are sticking by their claims to have duplicated the Utah results. "Our people are convinced that they ve got it, so as a gesture to the researchers in Utah, we wanted to an­ nounce it as soon as possible," Texas A&M spokesman Ed Walraven said. Ohio State's McCreery said he and several colleagues were trying to con­ firm or modify it, but with a large degree of wariness. "Somebody has to detect helium 3, helium 4 or tritium," the elements that confirm a fusion reaction. Without those, McCreery said, the process may be a remarkable reac­ tion, but it's not nuclear. MIT chemist Keith Johnson has theorized Pons and Fleischmanns may have created energy, but through a chemical reaction, not a nuclear one. A chemical reaction "could still be quite useful, but not in energy pro­ duction," McCreery said. On April 19, Stanford scientists said their cold fusion work suggested that it was not a chemical reaction. APPALACHIAN SOUTH APARTMENTS Leasing Now for Fall '89 school applications on the rise •CPS)—An unprecendented rPSl—A n |il(nber of college seniors are trying get into law school, various camiises report. While no national numbers are vailable so soon after the April 1 (adline many schools impose for ap(cations, individual, law school ad­ dons officers almost without exjtion say they have received far #re applications for the 1989-90 j 0 ol year than for other years hin memory. •We've had a 40 percent increase ,er last year," Admissions Director , the University of Vermont's law tool, John Friesman said, "and last Br we had a 22 percent increase over (previous year." At Drake University Law School, jean David Walker reported the imber of applications has increased Ipercent over the number he got last ting. Nationwide, 18.5 percent more dents took the Law School AdmisDns Test this year than in 1987-88, Law School Admissions Service SAS)said. increase, moreover, comes tra l%ear decline in the number students wanting to go on to law II, LSAS spokesman Bill Kinnish .attributes it .to a number of fac- — not the least of which is the popularity of the "L.A. I popularity of the " T A Law" televi sion show. The first factor contributing to the boom is image," Kinnish said. "There was a lot of publicity, bad press and articles about the glut of lawyers during the decline. Now we have 'L.A. Law' and other activities that brought the law to the forefront." Kinnish is not the only law school admissions director to credit "L.A. Law" for students' increased interest in the field. "That's an impression that various admissions officers have stated, but it's unsubstantiated," said Ted Hulbert of the University of Califor­ nia at Los Angeles' law school, which is wading through a record 5,607 ap­ plications for 325 openings in next fall's first-year law class. Admissions Director at the Washington College of Law at American University in Washington, D.C., Mary Upton also thinks televi­ sion might have inspired some seniors to consider a law career, although she sites a different show. "Washington is a very hot place to study law since the Iran-Contra hear­ ings," Upton said. Upton and others add students seem to be responding to influences more substantial than mere images. Kinnish, said many students men­ tion how lucrative law can be as their motive for applying to law school. Students, Kinnish said, "spend a lot of money over their three years of law school, and they have to expect that there will be economic oppor­ tunities at the end of those three years." Some top law firms in New York, Chicago and Los Angelos start some new lawyers at as much as $75,000 a year. Kinnish and Upton both speculated some students who in the past may have gone to medical school are op­ ting for law school instead. "You can bootstrap a law profession a lot easier than a medical profession," Kinnish said. Students may be applying to law schools in greater numbers than in past years not because they plan to practice law as a career, but because it can act as a entre into other profes sions," Kinnish added. The increase, however, can strain law school's ability to teach more students. Vermont, which like many schools accepts more students than it can han­ dle because it assumes some of them ultimately will enroll elsewhere, severely overtaxed its resources when it found itself with 30 more students than it could- handle in its 1988-89 first-year law class, Friesman said. "Everyone would love to say (Pons and Fleischmann) are right, that they can get four times the energy back from their reaction that they put into it," Maryland's Wilson said. "But if it were true, the guys who did it would probably be dead." "There is no tooth fairy," Wilson said. "Without a whole new fusion mechanism (the Utah experiment) is an interesting laboratory curiosity without any practical application." But Lamoine Motz, president of the National Science Teachers Association, found other benefits in the fusion experiments in campus labs. "This is a great opportunity for teachers to enliven their curriculum by helping students analyze this ex­ perience," Motz said. • • • • • • • • • • In response, Vermont capped its first-year enrollment at 150 for 1989-90, but the number of appplications rose anyway. "The harder it is to get in," Drake's Walker said, "the more peo pie want to come here." Walker said students seem to rely on image for which school, as well as which profession, to choose. Many students, he explained, equate a school's quality with its entrance re­ quirements. Though schools that are hard to get into aren't always good academically, Walker said raising ad­ missions standards nearly always raises demand for the school. 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments Efficiencies & Suites Exercise/Weight Room Pool Saunas Game Room Clubhouse Lounge Laundry Facilities Maintenance & Management 264-6621 Call for an appointment 827 Faculty Street—Boone "We've quite consciously taken ad vantage of the surge by being more selective," he said.

Administrators, moreover, said they would consider obliging the pro­ testors "There are sleeping bags, pillows and the strewn bodies of students," the student body president's secretary C harles Manti said. "They're serious and they're there." May has said the students, who first bulged in April 11, "are welcome to stay as long as they like," reported sophomore Dan Bernard. I he increase, approved by the UNM board of regents, would add about SI00 a year or $50 per semester to the UNM's annual in-state tuition of $1,272. Student Charles Manti conceded UNM's tuition is relatively low, "but New Mexico is a poor slate with a huge minority population, so a small increase has a big impact." UNM has raised its tuition a total , °f 42 percent since 1986. It has not been alone. In many cases, schools have been imposing hikes for next year that are steeper than New Mexico's. Students at Oklahoma's state cam­ puses, for example face tuition in­ creases of up to 24 percent, while those at Texas public colleges could pay as much as 12.5 percent more in 1989-90. The 13 California State University campuses will raise their fees 10 per­ cent. Total student costs—including room and board—will raise nine per­ cent at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. The University of Miami's prices are going up 9.8 per­ cent. "A 6-to-8 percent increase is as good a guess as any" for average tui­ tion hikes nationwide, Art Hauptman of the American Council on Educa­ tion in Washington, D.C., estimated. In recent weeks, the C.W. Post campus of l ong Island University, Broome County Community College and I ouisiana College, among scores ol others, announced tuition hikes closer to Hauptman's estimate. Student resistance has been sporadic. Only about 30 students showed up to protest a hike at Pcnn Stale University in late January. In Michigan, a Grand Valley State University student managed to gather 302 signatures in half a day on a peti­ tion to protest a $45 fee increase but arrived too late at a Board of Control meeting to deliver it directly to cam­ pus governors. At New Mexico, students were most upset they had not been con­ sulted about the increase. "Our representatives are presented with a budget number and asked 'What do you think?' but they have no way of knowing if those figures are accurate. We would like to sec students involved in the process," Chairman Bruce Harrison, of UNM's Graduate Student Association council said. They also have asked UNM not to approve any increase without study­ ing its impact on minorities and women. the needs of the community together," President Pruitt Allen said. According to Allen, the key state­ ment the club is making with the restructuring campaign is that Gam­ ma Beta Phi is a service organiza­ tion—here to help the school and the community to the best of their ability as a group. FREfc Introductory Offer 100%SatisfactionGuaranteed „ . . . ZAAA NAME enthusiasm to the club, motivate the group and get more members involv­ ed in the leadership process. "The goal for our first year is to ex­ plore ways to implement more leader­ ship positions, and help the members to get a feel for leadership," Joni Petschauer said. Although Peter Petschauer is cur­ rently conducting research in Ger­ many, the couple will enter as active sponsors in the fall. According to Allen, Smith will be greatly missed for his contributions to Gamma Beta Phi on the local, state and national levels. Since his take over in 1983, the size of the group has increased 300 percent. To see the people of the organiza­ tion involved in the leadership of the society would be beneficial to both the members and the community," Smith said. Involvement is the goal that Smith, the Petschauers and Allen hope lo achieve within the next few years.

It 's the find of the cenI ..if it works, but I'm still not conit's real," Ohio State Universi­ tv rhpmictr,, ty chemistry professor Dr. Richard McCreery said. "It would be an incredible breakthrough," Baylor University chemistry Prof. David Pennington said. It was the March 23 claim that Utah Professor Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann of England's University ot Southampton had produced fusion energy with a simple tabletop experi­ ment done at room temperature. They obtained their results by pass­ ing an electrical current through heavy water using a palladium rod, generating four times more energy then they used to create the fusion. Scientists have been trying to produce energy through fusion for almost 50 years, but could manage to do so only by using extremely high pressures and temperatures to literally fuse subatomic parts together. In all prior experiments, it took more energy to heat the atoms than the fusion ultimately created. But the prospect of efficient fu­ sion—which would offer a source of clean, inexhaustible energy to replace fossil fuels and nuclear fission—has kept scientists trying to make it work. Consequently, Pons and Fleischmann's work—announced at a Salt Lake City press conference in ad­ vance of the publication of their results in the scientific journal Nature —surprised the world's scien­ tists. It s not as sure a thing as it was," senior researcher James Mahaffey said. "It seemed like a sure thing. Now, I'm getting nervous." Two Unviersity of Washington graduate students who claimed to find indications of fusion in an experiment they conducted still think they may Laboratories at Kossuth, Hungary, have produced fusion.

A&M spokesman Ed Walraven said. Ohio State's McCreery said he and several colleagues were trying to con­ firm or modify it, but with a large degree of wariness. "Somebody has to detect helium 3, helium 4 or tritium," the elements that confirm a fusion reaction. Without those, McCreery said, the process may be a remarkable reac­ tion, but it's not nuclear. MIT chemist Keith Johnson has theorized Pons and Fleischmanns may have created energy, but through a chemical reaction, not a nuclear one. A chemical reaction "could still be quite useful, but not in energy pro­ duction," McCreery said. On April 19, Stanford scientists said their cold fusion work suggested that it was not a chemical reaction. APPALACHIAN SOUTH APARTMENTS Leasing Now for Fall '89 ttw school applications on the rise c pS)—An unprecendented jmber of college seniors are trying get into law school, various cam0 report.

M Drake University Law School, David Walker reported the imber of applications has increased Ipercent over the number he got last ting. Nationwide, 18.5 percent more iidents took the Law School Admisjns Test this year than in 1987-88, r Law School Admissions Service SAS)said.

"Everyone would love to say (Pons and Fleischmann) are right, that they can get four times the energy back from their reaction that they put into it," Maryland's Wilson said. "But if it were true, the guys who did it would probably be dead." "There is no tooth fairy," Wilson said. "Without a whole new fusion mechanism (the Utah experiment) is an interesting laboratory curiosity without any practical application." But Lamoine Motz, president of the National Science Teachers Association, found other benefits in the fusion experiments in campus labs. "This is a great opportunity for teachers to enliven their curriculum by helping students analyze this ex­ perience," Motz said. (tw-rvrw JF" VflHAppa/acAki [Appalachian ~ ~ j S o u t h tfj KPHH&kH >• . popularity of the "L.A. Law sion show. televi- 'The first factor contributing to uv the boom is image," Kinnish said. "There was a lot of publicity, bad press and articles about the glut of lawyers during the decline. Now we have 'L.A. Law' and other activities that brought the law to the forefront." Kinnish is not the only law school admissions director to credit "L.A. Law" for students' increased interest in the field. "That's an impression that various admissions officers have stated, but it's unsubstantiated," said Ted Hulbert of the University of Califor­ nia at Los Angeles' law school, which is wading through a record 5,607 ap­ plications for 325 openings in next fall's first-year law class. Admissions Director at the Washington College of Law at American University in Washington D C., Mary Upton also thinks televi­ sion might have inspired some seniors to consider a law career, although she sites a different show. "Washington is a very hot place to study law since the Iran-Contra hear­ ings," Upton said. Upton and others add students seem to be responding to influences more substantial than mere images. Kinnish, said many students men- tion how lucrative law can be as their motive for applying to law school. Students, Kinnish said, "spend a lot of money over their three years of law school, and they have to expect that there will be economic oppor­ tunities at the end of those three years." Some top law firms in New York, Chicago and Los Angelos start some new lawyers at as much as $75,000 a year. • 1 & 2 Bedroom Apartments In response, Vermont capped its first-year enrollment at 150 for 1989-90, but the number of appplications rose anyway. "The harder it is to get in," Drake's Walker said, "the more peo pie want to come here." Walker said students seem to rely on image for which school, as well as which profession, to choose. Many students, he explained, equate a school's quality with its entrance re­ quirements. Though schools that are hard to get into aren't always good academically, Walker said raising ad­ missions standards nearly always raises demand for the school. Kinnish and Upton both speculated some students who in the past may have gone to medical school are op­ ting for law school instead. "You can bootstrap a law profession a lot easier than a medical profession," Kinnish said. Students may be applying to law schools in greater numbers than in past years not because they plan to practice law as a career, but because it "can act as a entre into other profes sions," Kinnish added. The increase, however, can strain law school's ability to teach more students. • • • • • • • • • Efficiencies & Suites Exercise/Weight Room Pool Saunas Game Room Clubhouse Lounge Laundry Facilities Maintenance & Management 264-6621 Call for an appointment 827 Faculty Street—Boone "We've quite consciously taken ad vantage of the surge by being more selective," he said.

Problems plague small college (PS)—Pima Community College upended its president March 15 ttause he claimed to have a master's wee that, in fact, he never earned.

After months of conflict between mrrette and Pima's Board of ttttors, the board suspended l.! e ." e March 15, claiming he lied - l s a c a demic credentials. '°ard member Karlcen Kalten- mark, who led the probe of Navarrette's diplomas, apparently had some credential problems of her own. On a prior employment application to the college, Kaltenmark is listed as having a master's degree, but she too has on­ ly a bachelor's degree. In response -to the scarcity of postgraduate diplomas on the cam­ pus, a local bar has begun giving out free "Master's degrees" to Pima students. Others are taking the matter more seriously. "There is a fear of the col­ lege falling apart," student leader Greg Bond said. "These people are playing games with our educations," Lorene Howard said, another student who is circulating a petition asking that three of Pima's four board members resign. Faculty, staff and alumni groups also have started petitions asking board members to step down. The state attorney general has joined the fray, targeting Kalten­ mark . A civil suit accused her of living outside the district she is supposed to represent on Pima's board. News accounts contain accusations that Kaltenmark practices witchcraft.

Appalachian State University's first and only financial aid director since 1965, retired April 28, 1989 after a long and productive service at the University. Gabriel will be remembered not only for his fine service as financial aid director, but also for his warmth and personal involvement in his job. Gabriel has a long history with ASU. He was a student here in the 1950s, where he was quarterback of the Varsity football team and a member of the Varsity Wrestling team. He served as head wrestling coach in 1974 and was recently inducted into the ASU hall of fame. Steve Gabriel is not only respected at ASU, but has received admiration and recognition all over North Carolina as an outstanding financial aid administrator. His trademark is his uncanny ability to find aid where no one else can and his deep personal commitment to the students he helps. Willie Fleming, Director of Minori­ ty Affairs, jokingly refers to Gabriel as The Godfather," since he always manages to find money. With Steve's help, we (Financial Aid) have helped to make getting in and staying in school a lot easier for countless students," Assistant Direc­ tor of Financial Aid Wes Weaver said. "I've enjoyed working with him and benefiting from his experiences." Steve found funds when everyone else thought it was impossible and would have given up," Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Development Barbara Daye said. Gabriel impressed students and faculty alike with his sincere commit­ ment. Gabriel took personal interest in each student and did everything in his power to obtain financial aid for them. "To me, that (Gabriel's per­ sona! interest) has been the most significant thing about Steve Gabriel," Daye said. "His caring and working with individuals sets him apart not only as a financial aid direc­ tor, but as a person as well." In honor of his retirement, Gabriel By KEITH JONES here here.

SMITH Special (mm I hi Wellnes, C enlcr Historical medical records indicate that anorexia nervosa and bulimia are old disorders. But their prevalence in America in the 1980s is unparalleled in medical history, and some medical experts believe that anorexia and bulimia are rapidly reaching epidemic proportions. Approximately 20 per­ cent of female college students suffer from some type of eating disorder. Eating disorders can occur at any age, but young people seem more susceptible at two particular times. The first is just before or just after puberty. The second is when a young person is contemplating a move or has just moved away from home. Other major stresses or life changes may also trigger eating disorders—the divorce of parents, death of a parent or loved one, a broken love relation­ ship or ridicule by others that the in­ dividual is fat or becoming fat. The two main types of eating disorders affecting college students are anorexia nervosa and bulimia. The two diseases are closely related, but defined differently. In the obsessive pursuit of thinness, anorex­ ics deliberately starve themselves and often become malnourished. Com­ pulsive exercise, laxative and/or diuretic abuse are characteristic. If anorexia is not properly treated, the disease can be fatal. The bulimic com­ pulsively eats and then purges, usually through self-induced vomiting or lax­ ative abuse. This addictive binge/purge cycle is often done in secret and can progress from once or twice a week to twenty times a day. Without treatment, bulimia can also lead to death due to cardiac arrest or kidney failure. People suffering from an eating disorder often exhibit certain characteristics. Their preoccupation with food and their eating behavior often lead to real isolation. Their low self-esteem may puzzle family, See EATING Page 5 Many of us are looking toward a career when we graduate. There are those of us who have already found a career. Pam Cook is such a person. Cook is a senior majoring in Com­ munication Arts with a concentration in broadcasting and public relations. Cook was recently hired to work for WGH Piedmont-Channel 8 in High Point, NC. She works in the news department as an editorial assistant. "I do a little of everything. I listen to scanners and watch monitors on the satellite," Cook said. "I also do feeds, story checks and a little bit of reporting on weekends," she added. Cook became interested in TV broadcasting after talking with friends already in the field. "A friend got me interested and encouraged me to do networking and contacting with stations, she said. "Any station within driving distance, I went to. The people were very responsive," she added. Cook said the stations seem to be impressed with the fact that she was still in school and had an interest in working. She made contacts with several stations before WGH Pied­ mont hired her as an intern last sum­ mer. After completing her internship, Cook stayed in touch with t h ^ "Two months ago a coupl e a to s c m open and I w s •"*. i i n a e part-time basis," shesai i According to Cook. c a field one must really e V to be dedicated. b trv to get an internship he- f « graduate and they'" f l " ° a ^ 1 week if that's what they RjU*do.

Well, the next thing I did was take the little critter out back and hose it down a bit to get some of that dirt off of it." You actually hosed the rabbit down?" asked postman L ewis. Yep. Son, have you ever seen a wet rabbit?" "No, Mr. Brown 1 can't recall I have." "Well, I'll tell ya it don't look none too good. In fact, it looked so bad I took it in the house and blew the thing dry." With a hairdryer???" postman L ewis asked astonishingly. "Sure did. And you know what?

I replied in Chinese, so he asked me where I was from. I looked real confused and told htm, in Chinese, I was from France. He didn't seem to understand and proceeded to ask me if | spoke English. Once again I spoke to him in Chinese and told him sorry that I didn't understand him, to please speak Chinese. At that he said good­ bye and rode off.

A Chinese at the next table spent the whole meal drinking beer through the side of his mouth and staring at the two Americans. It's hard to have an enjoyable meal with someone watch­ ing everything you do. In China every 'wai guo ren' is special. Wherever you are, they treat you to the very best they have. They think that because you are from a 'civilized' country that you must have the very best China can offer or you won't be happy. If I go to a Chinese 115 W.

The year is 2351 A.D.; the world has evolved according to plan. It has never been the same since the destruc­ tion of the rain forest and the discon­ tinuation of gravitational normality. I think it all began with the urine-laden Corona scandal some four centuries previous. The virtual destruction of mankind resulted from these bizarre occurrences possibly starting in May 1989, when an extremely agitated nude Burl Ives sexually assaulted Ricky Schroeder anally at a benefit concert for homosexual bearded celebrities. Soon after, the radon levels (due to a strange atmospheric chemical imbalance) reached a level too high for human survival.

But more important than the game, the new head football coach was able to see the players in action. Mountaineer Head Football Coach Jerry Moore was very pleased with the outcome of the spring practices. "I think overall we got a lot accom­ plished. Everybody being new to them and everybody being new to us," said Moore. The game had only one bad point when Kevin Armstrong went down with a twisted knee. Armstrong had surgery on his knee on Monday and it is still uncertain if he will be able to play this fall. "Kevin twisted his knee when he got tackled. I do not know if he will be back this fall. It is still up in the air," said Moore. Bobby Fuller retained his starting job coming out of spring practice after a close race with Sophomore Lance Redding. "Both did well.

After all, m o . s t o 1 ''' LIFE IN/ Hfll I think about that. This girl isn't thai unfortunate; you have to have something beyond obsession before you can get your heart broken. So her life isn't totally empty. I wouldn't mind having my heart broken right now, 1 think. We continue to drink. Later, another friend, more cigaret­ tes and more beer. "Significant others?" I ask. "You mean do I think they exist?" she asks. "Yup," I say. "There are significant others," she begins. "I like to think we all have several.. .others who could become significant. And, ocassionally, do. Now if you buy into the soul-mate Tip, that's different. By definition, you can have only one of those. But there are several "others" who have the possibility er...potential to become significant." I nod. I agree. I think. I think I agree. So Bill, do you have significant others?" I smoke. I drink. I pretend I don't hear. "Well?" " I stay obsessed a lot," I tell her. "Obsession isn't all bad, you know," she says. "Oh?" I say. Does someone agree with me? Well," she tells me, "obsession can be quite inspirational." Ah. So­ meone does agree. 'Obsession," I say, then pause a really long time, "keeps me alive." I take a long drag and blow smoke in the wind. "That's a bit drastic.. . u h . . . " I change the subject. "I have a pro­ blem with significant others." "Both. In general, though, especially. I have a problem with the idea, really," I say. "Oh?" she asks. "It's just.. .how many significant others can anyone have before they all become very, insignificant?" "Oh," she says. We stand on the balcony a while longer, talking about chicken salad and a variety of other commodities. The Boone Chill (yes, a distant cousin of the Big Chill) starts to set in, and we retreat to the warmth of the living room/70s revival. Among the teeming masses, a cou­ ple of mutual friends are there (hey, 'I s her apartment) the two of them occupying the space normally re­ quired for one individual. Her long legs are draped over his. She's wear­ ing her ring. They are in love. They are (and if you can't tell it, then you're really stupid). We whisper. "They're so cute." "They're so happy." "They make me sick." "I hope it lasts." * * * * * Jessie (God, I love Jessie) says that we all (meaning, I suppose, the people or our generation) play a game called Serial Monogamy. "Sure, Jessie," I say. "But some of us have really short chapters." * * * I call Amy. "You're my best fnend," I tell her. She spills her wine, she knows me better than anyone. We la k. It s 2:00 a.m. We exchange I love you's and hang up. Some things are really, really unfair, I think. I go to bed. I have lunch with an old, old friend from high school. He's been married for almost five years. FIVE YEARS. He has a Rolex, three cars and a nouse in Charleston. He and his wife are significant others. They are in love. They are happy. He tells me I ought to move out of town. A friend calls. He's still obsessed with his girl he dated five years ago. He blames all his failures (no matter how insignificant they might be) on the break-up of their relationship How convenient. Obsession. * * * » * • « I visit a friend, It's an emergency.

Unfortunately, yes. The dical pro-lifers are already bombing hortion clinics, and though they are very small minority in the pro-life Lenient, their ranks may well grow ? | h e court upholds Roe vs. Wade. L pro-choice movement has J -died around such words as R E V O L T " and "REVOLUTION" some of their demonstrations, and Li afraid that some of their more radical elements may get violent if Ro{V s. Wade is overturned. 1 Frankly, 1 feel that anyone who »ould be willing to engage in such outrageous protests is a little touched. I, abortion really so important that oeoplemay be willing to die, and even jill. for its legality or illegality? I do not'think so. Drugs may destroy our society by destroying the very fabric of society, and what is on the news? Abortion. Nuclear war may destroy as all tomorrow (I do not think it will but it could) and put a permanent end to the abortion debate, but what do 500,000 peopie march on Washington, D.C. for? Abortion. Both sides have put out polls showing that 80 percent of the population sup­ ports their side. Eighty percent of this country supporting anything is a silly assumption. You cannot even get 80 percent of the country to say thev want lower taxes, and you expect me to believe 80 percent of the country feels the same way on abortion? Yeah, right. Actually, both sides in this debate have some good points, so 1 have eeided to critique the arguments of both pro-lifers and pro-chokers, and afterwards state how I f e e | the court should decide. If you get mad at me half way through this, keep reading, you might be wrong about what 1 con­ clude with. First, the pro-lifers. The pro-lifers say that abortion is wrong. They point out that the Bible states very plainly that it is wrong to take another human life, and that abortion is the taking of an innocent child's life. Even the ones that do not argue from the Bible claim that taking a human life is wrong. Frankly, I agree with them on that point. I feel that abor­ tion is taking a human life and that taking a human life is wrong, but I would like to point out that we already justify taking human life in many ways. We have a justifiable homicide clause in our legal statutes. We execute criminals who so offend our ideas of decency that we say they have no right to live. We go to war freely and also support other wars. I do not think anyone wants to sec justifiable homicide defenses out­ lawed, and while there are some peo­ ple who protest capital punishment and war, they do not seem to be the same people who protest abortion. These facts seem to refute the claim that we should outlaw abortion simp­ ly because it is wrong, but there are other arguments. Did the thought ever cross your mind that more people die if wc outlaw abortion, and 1 am not refer­ ring to the pro-choice claims of revolt? Abortion would still be com­ mon, and outlawing it will not make it go away; it will just make it go underground where it will be befriended by organized crime. Just imagine how much money one might be able to make by smuggling in cases of the new abortion pill from France. How will this kill more people? Well, consider this. How do most drugrelated deaths occur from taking drugs or from the gangland drug wars? Think about it. Now the pro-choice side. Frankly, I do not like them either. They claim that abortion is a right protected by the Constitution. The Constitution says that no person shall be denied life, liberty or property without due process of law. An abortion is not due process of law. Within our lifetimes, it will be possible for science to fer­ tilize, nurture and watch a human fetus develop without ever placing that tetus inside a woman's womb. Already we are seeing advances that will be able to keep fetuses alive that arc still young enough to be aborted. An abortion denies that person the right to life, liberty and property without ever trying them for any crime. Furthermore, and this is particular­ ly directed at those pro-choicers who say abortion should be federally fund­ ed, abortion IS NOT A RIGHT. It is a privilege. The Constitution says we have a right to free speech, not free abortion. Abortion is a privilege just like owning a ear. I am so poor I can­ not afford a Ferrari, but that does not mean the government should provide the seventy thousand dollars I need to buy one. I, and many like me on both sides ol this issue, feel that abortion is wrong. Why should I pay for you to do something 1 feel is wrong? Will you pay for my speeding tickets after I hit and kill someone because I was driving too fast? I doubt it, but if you will I will be willing to pay for your abortions. So what have I decided about the way the court should decide when I obviously have no respect for either side? To find this, I do not go to the Constitution or the Bible, I go to the history hooks. One side claims that abortion is morally wrong. Another side says they have a moral right to decide the fate of their bodies. 1 say they are both crazy because they are trying to base a political decision on a moral opinion and moral arguments have no place in political decision­ making in this country. The United States was not founded to make peo­ ple do what is right, nor was it found­ ed to allow people to do anything they please. It was, however, founded to allow us the right to choose how we will live our lives. If we choose to do the wrong things, tough.

Birth control is not a good reason. The failure of a birth control device is. Of course, I am not stupid enough to think that if this is written into law it will only result in the amaz­ ing failure of a lot of birth control devices, but there is no way to check this out. This is one that must be left to one's conscience. But to the prolifers I say this, you have no right to impose your morality on someone else. As I said, this country was not founded to be a bastion of morality, and therefore the immoral has just as much place here as the righteous. You say your God will punish those who have abortions; someone else says your God does not even exist. Who is to determine what is right for all people? Nobody. Every person must decide personally what is right and wrong. That is why America exists in the lirst place. Roe vs. Wade should stand.
