Today: Partly sunny. High in the mid-50s THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 GA passes representation resolution Chandler is solely responsible for select ing committee members. dawn mcguire ipalachian Staff Writer Student Government Association jident Dan Gurley presented the chairof the chancellor search committee j, a formal resolution that calls for jal student representation on the corntee. The students are the sole purpose of university and should be represented jally and proportionately in all matters «ing to university affairs," states the olution. uurley, who is also one of the two dents on the 16-member search comlee, handed the resolution to commitchair Thomas Chandler Friday iming on behalf of the SGA senate. Chandler replyed that "there have been 11 chancellors chosen by this process and good chancellors have been chosen." Gurley said he feels that it is important for Chandler to hear the senate's con­ cerns, but doubts that any action will be taken to change the committee. He (Chandler) will acknowledge the concern and respect that concern, but I tend to think it is not going to change things. Changes are rarely made once the actual process has started," Gurley said. The resolution also proposes that a campus-wide referendum be held in order to choose the students who should be on the committee. This has caused some concern in senate. "I do have a problem with the referen­ dum part of the bill. It leaves many questions suchas how will the students on the referendum be chosen and who will chose them," said Gurley. The referendum also poses a time problem. If a referendum is held, according to the senate constitution, a vote must be held to have the referen­ dum. After Gurley signed the bill, there would have to be a 35-day waiting period before the referendum could be held. "Basically, you're looking at close to two months before anything could be done," said Gurely. Sponsors of the bill acknowledge that any new students would not join the com­ mittee until the second half of the selec­ tion process. Doug Duncan, SGA vice president said he doubts Chandler will agree to a referendum. "In all fairness to him, I would honestly be surprised if he called for a campus-wide referendum," said Duncan. students feel strongly about this issue," said J.D. Adams, a main sponsor of the bill. The resolution was introduced during last Tuesday's SGA meeting. Sponsors of the resolution asked Duncan, who presides over SGA senate meetings, to suspend regular procedures and allow the resolution to be introduced imme­ diately. Normally, new proposals must be submitted to senate a week prior to presentation. Duncan denied the request, but his de­ cision was appealed and senate voted to hear the bill. "A vote against this bill is a vote against the students you are here to repre­ sent. This resolution shows Chandler that The resolution states that the four ele­ ments set in the guidelines for choosing the committee should have equal repre sentation. Those four elements are fac­ ulty, alumni, members of the board of trustees and students. The resolution was passed 44-16 with three abstentions. Chandler must follow the guidelines, however the guidelines do not specify the ratio of representation among the four elements. Currently there are five fac­ ulty, two alumni, five board of trustees members, one staff, one administrator and two students on the,committee.

If the resolution is passed there it will be submitted to the board of governors, who set the guide­ lines. "I have already begun talking to stu­ dents on the state level. I expect the resolution to be passed unanimously," Adams said. If the board of governors approves the resolution, the guidelines would be al­ tered to include a rule of equal represen­ tation. This would, in effect, force Chan dler to add more students. Another possibility is that the Board of Governors would approve the resolution for future committees. Either way it will set a precedent for equal student representation on all com­ mittees, for all universities in the UNCsystem," said Adams. The academic facility repairs and alter­ ations will focus on Chapel Wilson Hall, Smith Wright Hall, Broomc-Kirk and Varsity Gym. Chapel Wilson renova­ tions will actually be the first phase of construction that is presently underway. Because the second phase was not statefunded and money was available, phase two was started before the first phase said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, Vice-Chancellor of Business Affairs. From the remaining funds requested under repairs, Smith Wright and BroomcKirk and Varsity Gyms will be upgraded. "Eighty percent of our work goes into upgradation and renovation of already standing buildings," said Zimmerman. Zimmerman is optimistic in getting funds for the Smith Wright project. Although the Board of Governors has approved the projects for the bond refer­ endum, money has not been promised to any of the schools in the UNC-system. The General Assembly will vote on the referendum in late summer or early fall of Sec PROJECTS page 2 Three students address Chancellor search committee at hearing he student questions the amount of student representation, while others give qualifications for new chancellor ;UZ1 LANDIS •Ischian News Editor Appalachian students addressed '"teellor's Search Committee at the hearing Friday.

"People are not involved; they feel alienated. They aredisillusioned already,"said Schoffield. "I'm not butting heads with the commit­ tee. I'm butting heads with the process." Schoffield, co-author of the Student Government Association resolution on the representatives for committees, said a referendum would be held to elect three student representatives for the commit­ tee. He added that Thomas Chandler, chair of the search committee would de­ cide whether to accept those students or not. The students are providing a solution to the lack of student representation by providing an alternative, said Schoffield. "We as students not only deserve equal representation, but we deserve represen­ tation that we as students feel comfort­ able with, said Schoffield, "representa­ tives that represent us effectively and forwardly in public and private." Schoffield added that the faculty should have elected its representatives also. Chandler said to Schoffield that the open hearing was to address qualifications wanted in a chancellor. Chandler de­ fended the selection process by saying the last eleven chancellors in the UNCsystem were appointed by the same pro­ cess. ASU student Christopher Dodd voiced his preferences for a chancellor to the board. He outlined the qualifications as a person who will "openly communicate to students and faculty, has an open mind and will openly consider all opinions." Lastly, Jeff Reid, ASU student ambas­ sador thanked the committee for its ef­ forts and time. "Students are looking for­ ward to the future," said Reid. "This [the selection of a chancellor] can have a ma­ jor impact and could take the university to a higher level- a growth in quality." Dan Gurley, SGA president and stu­ dent representative on thecommittee, said he was "disappointed at the lack of stu­ dent representation at the hearing." "When we (students) have the opportu­ nity to give input we should take advan­ tage of that opportunity," said Gurley. Some clear themes on the qualifica­ tions of a chancellor were expressed throughout the day, said Gurley. Some of the criteria brought to the board were: the chancellor should have anacademic back­ ground, should come from outside of the university and UNC-system, should have good communication skills and endeavor to communicate with faculty and students and should support the mission of the university, excellence in teaching and the fostering of scholarship. A secondhearing is scheduled forTues­ day, Nov. 19. Students wishing to speak are asked to contact Susie Beasley at 2623186 by noon on Nov. 18. The open hearing will be held in the Trillium room at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Cen­ ter. Students witness ethnic fighting By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Two Appalachian students are caught in the middle of ethnic fighting in Russia. Pam Barrier and Tammy Sink, daughter of Dean of the College of Arts and Sci­ ence Dr. Donald Sink, were studying at North OssetianUniversity in Russia when fighting broke out last week. Dr. Larry Horine, director of interna­ tional studies at ASU, talked to the direc­ tor of international studies in North Ossestian who said the students were safe, "well-cared for and comfortable." Fighting between the Ossetian and Ingush people broke out a week ago Sat­ urday. North Ossetian University is closed but is expected to open for classes today. The students are not in immediate dan­ ger, said Mark Levine, associate vice chan­ cellor of public affairs. Moving the stu­ dents may not be in their best interest, because some roads may be dangerous for traveling, added Levine. Once the university reopens. Barrier and Sink, who have been in the area since September, will have the choice to stay at North Ossestian or join ASU professor Dr. JeanPierreCourbois in St. Petersburg to return to the United States. Courbois is accom­ panying a group of ASU economic stu­ dents participating in an exchange pro­ gram. Russian President Boris Yeltsin de­ clared a state of emergency for the southem region of Russia a month ago. The Russian military has established martial law in the area.

The teleconference will take place in the Student Union Pub from 1:15-4:00 p.m. This program will address the prevelance of sexual harassment on uni­ versity campuses nationwide, and the pro­ cedures for developing a campus action plan to eliminate harassment. Sexual harassment is not a new prob- lem, nor is it simply a women's issue. For many years, colleges and universities have had to deal with sexual harassment on campus. The teleconference will also address the various forms of sexual harassment including student-to-student, faculty-tostudent and supervisor-to-employee. "We really don't know how prevelant sexual harassment is at Appalachian be­ cause people won't tell or don't know when they have been sexually harassed," Barbara Daye, Associate Vice Chancel­ lor for Student Developement said. Daye feels that victims of sexual ha­ rassment sometimes do not tell others or notify the authorities because they be­ lieve they havedone something wrong, or the harasser is in a position to punish the accuser for lack of silence. Sexual harassment has come into the public consciousness since the Anita Hill and now-Justice Clarence Thomas hear­ ings. Those hearings addressed the prob­ lem of harassment in the workplace. This action by Hill has brought a more active voice over workplace freeedom than ever before. "Women have found the courage to say 'this happened or this is happening to me." says Daye. Daye citesexamples of harassment that happen across the country. A NASPA flyer gives the example of Melissa. Me­ lissa is a graduate student in the sociology department.

The academic support services build­ ing will be a complex to centralize all support facilities of the university. Sited for Rivers Street, the building will com­ bine services under one roof, instead of existing separate buildings. The science/mathematics complex is still in early planningstages. Several sites are being looked into with one being beside Justice Hall off Rivers Street. The addition to Belk Library is also in the early planning stages. Once the refer­ endum passes, the university will hire an architect to evaluate ideal ways to add on to the building. Lastly, the university is asking for funds to re-evaulate the possibilities of a stu­ dent activity center. The former plans of the SAC have been terminated. The money from the referendum will allow the university to consider different sites and structures for the project. "The art of facility master planning is where the logic of campus planning cor­ relates with politics," said Zimmerman. Zimmerman stressed that structures are built with the intentions and The Charlotte Observer reported that the North Ossestian Health Minister has documented 115 deaths and 272 wounded since the ethnic fighting began. Similar to the Sarajevo ethnic war, the fighting in Russia is over the heritage of the two peoples and the ownership of the land. The Sunni Muslim Ingush people say the region is their historic homeland. The Ingush occupied the territory until Stalin had them deported.The Ossetians, who outnumber the Ingush 4 to 1, have settled in the region and wish to stay. Russian troops are in the region to stop the fighting and to enforce the state of emergency which bans political rallies, tightens security at factories, and seizes broadcasting facilities and newspapers. Eyewitness and photographer Anatoly Morkovin said "the Ossetians walked in a chain formation, firing all the time...the intensity of the shooting was high" in the Charlotte Observer's "Russian defense minister visits area of ethnic fighting." -APW'NG- considerations of renovations and addi­ tions. If the referendum passes, the physical realtiy of the buildings and renovations will not be immediate. % ^ TONIGHT^ "Churches and universities are built to last forever,"said Zimmerman. "Regula­ tions are higher than in the private sector and more expensive." Zimmerman believes the state and the university have handled budget crunches well. "With construction costs low, inter­ est rates low, and a low debt, it is only financially responsibile to build as much as we can to keep up with the students on campus," said Zimmerman. 1 SPIRIT SHOP, University Bookstore ©Disney r WE CAN ENGRAVE YOUR: • Plaques • Trophies • Name Plates • Door Signs • Name Badges . . . plus much more!

"Although the club has many exercise science majors, membership is open to anyone," Warren said. "Any student with an interest in health and well-being is welcome to come." Warren hopes that the Exercise Science club, as well as other activities involved in the field, will help prepare students for their careers. "In the classroom, students learn facts and theory," she said. "But they also need to learn practical appli­ cation of the information. Becoming more involved with practical application helps students be better prepared." Warren has taught anatomy and exercise physi­ ology here at Appalachian since 1989, when she transferred here from Auburn University. She is also the advisor for the Exercise Science club.

"It's gratifying to be able to helpstudents stay in school and help case the transition from high school to college," Davenport said. "African-American students come here first with questions about fi­ nancial aid or with counseling or financial problems." Davenport cares about African-American stu­ dents and recruits through an "indirect way" in which happy students will blend to Appalachian and spread the word; therefore, increasing recruits and racial diversity. He seeks to educate students on racial awareness and boost participation in heritage programs. "The programs are done to enrich our heritage and pro­ vide an opportunity for learning," says Davenport. Oct. 26-31 was Black Heritage Week at ASU. Plays, concerts, musicals, dances and socials were displayed to stimulate awareness. Through pro­ grams like these, peoplecan learn more of minorities to understand them better in an attempt to destroy the bigoted barriers preventing societal unity. Davenport exemplifies courage and compassion in his role at Appalachian, and more people should attempt to lend hands instead of fists. We must lum the handle and open the closed-door prejudices to come together as a student body and not a melting pot of discrimination.

Dennis presents artwork in Farthing Auditorium By KATE HESS Assistant Et Cetera Editor "Potent,""strange" and "paradoxical" are all adjectives people may hear when they visit an art gallery. The art displayed today seems as undescribable as possible. Most modem artists want viewers to dig deep inside their art work to try to discern the meanings behind it. However, it is a nice change to come across art work that can be related to everyday life. Appalachian State University is fortunate to have one such artist right here on campus. Warren Dennis, an ASU art professor, posseses a deep appreciation for the arts and expresses that through his paintings. His images are full of honesty, an honesty reflected in his works such as "Swim­ mers," which shows a female swimmer gliding through the water while a male companion thrashes about in agony. Dennis uses his sense of humor in his paintings to comment on human conditions through the use of elongated or bloated figures. He tries to give the public a sense of dramatic presence, even though the figures in his paintings are distorted. Although Dennis' paintings and drawings seem simple on the surface, many subtle images and feelings ex­ pressed through them. "1 want my images to impart life," Dennis says. "That is the essence of what art is about." His paintings show life through the use of seductive women, pensive men, and energetic babies. Dennis received his bachelor's degree in art at the University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg in 1953, and then got his master's degree in art in 1955. He came to ASU in 1965 to teach art, and in 1980 he was appointed chairperson of the Art department. He held this position until 1984. Dennis has received various awards and recog­ nition for his art work over the years. He won the Purchase Award, Second-Annual Southern Appa­ lachian Regional Painting and Drawing Competi­ tion in Morganton, N.C. He was also awarded a first prize in the Bernhardt Art Competition in Lenoir, N.C. J. Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. His work was recently on display in the Hickory Museum of Art in the month of October Dennis will have 36 pieces on display in the gallery. Dennis has participated in thirty-nine one-per­ son shows and ninety-four group shows. He has many private and public collections throughout the United States, and is currently represented by Carlton Galleries in Banner Elk, N.C. Dennis is nationally recognized as an art professor, and his students and fellow faculty members have a great deal of respect for him. Among these pieces will be "Swimmers." "Man With Guitar, and his most recent work, "Icarus." The exhibit is entitled "Nineteen-eighty For­ ward." and is made possible by the gallery and the Hickory Museum of Art. The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Noyes Long, a faculty member and artist, said of Dennis, "Having co|ic to know Warren as I have, there are several things about the man and artist I have come to cherish, but two traits merit special consideration: he is a cultured and learned man, and he posseses a remarkable sense of humor." Everyone will have the opportunity to witness the original works of Dennis, for his art will be on display here from Nov. 9 - Dec. 12 in theCatherine On Nov. 13 there will be a lecture on Dennis' works by Thomas Penyman,curator of the Hickory Museum of Art. The lecture will be from 5-6 p.m. in room 306 of Wey Hall, and a reception will follow. As Df. nnis is asked about the exhibit he replies, 1 would like lor these paintings to go beyond the image, to involve the viewer in a pure way." The exhibit is an opportunity for students and the gen­ eral public to view the honesty that is displayed through a local professor's art work �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

This comes after head coach JerTy Moore nearly gave up hope following a loss to Furman earlier in the year. "This was a huge obstacle,"said Moore. " I o come up here and beat them in front of their people is something." "Everybody said it was time for me to gel on track," said Hooks. "We have a chance now, we just have to keep win­ ning." The Mountaineer offense simply had to outlast the Thundering Herd's power­ lalachian State quarterback D.J. iepthe Mountaineer's championship ful offense. The Mountaineers racked up 425 yards while Marshall gained 494 yards, all but 62 were in the air. Chip Hooks, ASU's top running back who has been hurl most of the year, got on track by picking up 124 yards on 21 carries just when his team needed him. Hooks was the first to score for the Mountaineers when he rambled 23 yards in the secondquarter to tie the game at six. Jay Millson's extra point gave the Apps a one point advantage. Marshall regained the lead via a 35yard touchdown pass from quarterback Michael Pay ton to Troy Brown. The Herd's two-point conversion put them ahead 14-7. The Mountaineers narrowed the margin to 14-10 thanks to a 45-yard field goal by Millson before Paylon again found Brown in die end zone, this time from 55 yards out. The extrapoint attempt was good. The Mountaineers mounted a come­ back and took a 30-21 lead early in the fourth quarter thanks to a one-yard TD run by Campbell, and touchdown passes to Gama and Anthony Smith. The see-saw battle continued as the Herd bounced back with twomore Payton TD strikes to take a 34-30 lead. Campbell's fourth down heroics saved the game, and the season, for the Moun­ taineers. Payton had a tremendous performance for Marshall, now tied with the Apps at 42 in the league. Payton hit on 25 of his 34 passes for432yards and five touchdowns. The Mountaineers will return home for its last two games of the season. The Apps will play host to the 19th-ranked North Carolina A&T Aggies for a chance to gain some ground on an al-large I-AA playoff berth. Arch-rival Western Carolina comes to Boone on Nov. 21 for a showdown that will be worth a great deal more than bragging rights for the winner. The Moun­ taineers must win to have a chance for the SC title as well as get some help from other SC teams. ASU finishes second at league tournament By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer »•*> -^iti* <:• " •V L '.' • - • J0TERS FINISH AS RUNNERS-UP IN SC: Appalachian State entered the Southern Conference Tournament in Greensboro this past weekend ranked fiflhTn the league ^ came out in second place after upsetting top-ranked Furman and falling to Davidson in the finals. Appalachian State saved its best for last. Seeded fifth in the Southern Confer­ ence soccer tournament, the Mountain­ eers upended two higher seeds in the first two roundsof the tournament, then played Davidson its toughest match of the threeday tournament before falling, 3-1, in the championship match. That gave the Wild­ cats their first tournament title. Appala­ chian took home the runners-up hard­ ware. More importantly, after finishing the regular season fifth in the league, the Mountaineers look home respect from the rest of the conference. After downing The Citadel, 4-3, in the first round on Friday, Appalachian faced top-seeded Furman in the semifinal round on Saturday at Greensboro's Bryan Park. Furman had beaten the Apps 5-2 ear­ lier in the season, and, with their firstround bye, entered the match full of con­ fidence and rest. Throw in the fact that David Teny, AS U's leading scorer, was hampered wi th a pulled hamstring suffered in the Citadel contest, and things did not look good for the Mountaineers. second overtime period lifted Appala­ chian to the 4-3 win and their biggest victory of the season. 'This was a cornerstone win for us this season," ASU Head Coach Art Rex said after thegame. "Anytime we beat Furman, it's a big win for our program." Nance, who replaced Terry in the sec­ ond half when he could no longer play, turned out to be the unlikely hero, getting just his second career goal and his firstever game-winner. "With Dave out, I knew Furman would be keying on Scott Griffith a lot more," Nance explained. "I was just able to get open in the box and put it in." Terry, despite the painful injury, man­ aged to lift the Mountaineers to an early 1 0 lead when he scored at the 15:00 minute mark. Terry worked his way around three Paladin defenders in the box. then turned and fired to give the Apps an early lead. With 25 minutres left in the game, Appalachian trailed 2-1, until freshman Ryah Anderson's header off of Brian Cone's comer kick found the net and tied the match.• mrrr The Mountaineers actually had a great chance to finish off the Paladins in over­ time, when Griffith stole a Furman back pass and scored his fifth goal of the season However, freshman Rob Nance's goal with under tJirce minutes to play in the See ASU page 6 \round the Southern Conference: race for SC crown tightens mem Carolina improves to 4-1 in the league for STACY BRANCH 'alachian Staff Writer for the conference crown tight to'"1 past weekend as the tenth week of Southern Conference football saw Western Carolina edge out Furman and Appalachian State rally past Marshall.

With two teams recording one confer­ ence loss and three slating two losses, the race for the league title is wide open. ASU has yet to face rival Western Carolina while The Citadel and Furman also have yet to meet. All in all, a five way tie for the league crown is not entirely out of the question.

The Mountaineers competed with 24 teams from both North and South Caro­ lina in a competition that named North Carolina State thenorthern champion and The Citadel both the southern and overall champion. Members of the Ranger Challenge team, who practicedaily beginning around 5:30 am, include Bruce Bernard, Bjarne Berg, John Sloan, Eric Millhorn, Matt Peaks, Jason Baisden, Glenn Mitchell, Dan Smith, and Anthony Nixa. The squad competes in eight events including the army physical fitness test (which consists of two-minute push-ups, two-minute sit-ups, and a two-mile run), a gTenade assault course, a one-rope bridge (timed), a M-l6 marksmanship test, aM16 and M-60 weapon assembly test (timed), a ninty-minute orienteering test (in swamps), a 10-K forced road march, and a partolling test.

Furman came right back, tying thescore just one minute later to send the contest into overtime. and would be the only time Davidson trailed in the entire tourney. The Wild­ cats, now 16-4-3 and no doubt headed to the NCAA Tournament, scored twice in the first half and once more in the second half to ice the 3-1 win. The Mountaineers survived several Furman flurries in front of the goal in the first overtime period. During one such rally, Appalachian held off five Paladin shots to stay tied entering the second overtime stanza. That set ups Nance's eventual shot. In the first round, Bobby Martin scored two goals to lead the Mountaineers to a 43 win over the Bulldogs. Appalachian trailed 2-1 before scoring three straight goals to put away The Citadel, who beat Appalachian 2-1 earlier in the season. In thechampionship match, Terry again scored the match's first goal, scoring un­ assisted early on. That would be the only time Appala­ chian would lead Davidson all game long, Martin, Terry, Anderson and Brian Jillings were all named to the All-Tourna­ ment team. Terry and Jillings were also named All-Southern Conference over the weekend, as were Joel NesbittandGriffith.

What is Clinton going to do about health care? Noth­ ing; he can't. Do we really want our health care system to resemble Canada's? Refer to the Oct. edition of Readers Digest in which you'll find an article entitled "How Not to Reform Health Care." Canada's system is about to collapse because of overuse and not enough people to run it. Keep in mind that their system works on a little more than 20 million people, and the United Stales, on the other hand, is a nation of more than 250 million. But plans to reform health care are not new news. Ever since dad went to college liberals have been calling for socialized medi­ cine; it went along with the peace, love and flowers movement.

The most common gripes center ound closed classes and wait listing. This system needs to be re-examined. When a class is closed, a registering student can opt to be placed on the ailing list for that class as long as he or she meets three requirements. 1 The class the student wants to wait list docs not have a time conflict with ly other class the student already has. 2. There are no other sections of that class available that will fit into the [udent's schedule. 3. If the class is a lecture and lab class, the student must register for both the b and the class or wait list for both of them. jc After early registration is complete on Nov. 13 for this semester, the Hegistar's office will send an ordered list of students on the waitlists for each toeachdepartmentchairperson. The chairperson then decides if any more nts can be added to the class or if another section of the class needs to be dded. This semester the department chairs will receive the lisLson Nov. 16and ill have until Nov. 20 to tell the registar's office what students and/or classes 'add. After Nov. 20 the wait lists will be erased from the computer. If a student is added to a class or a new section is added, the student will be ailcda new copy of his or her schedule. Beginning this semester, if a student •dropped from the wait list, he or she will also be notified through the mail.

Are we so easily mislead? My dislike for the most distinguished president does not come from an ideological difference, although I will admit that there is one. Have we forgotten about the last time a democraticcontrolled congress worked with a democratic Presi­ dent? Let me refresh your memory. Inflation went What about the economy? Do NOT be fooled, my fellow Americans. Clinton has FAILED to keep to his balanced budget in Arkansas. True, he balanced them, but he did not keep his projected plans FOR FIVE YEARS. And what exactly does William know about the mili­ tary other than he wants to take it apart and cut $90 million by 1997. MaybeBill isjustupsetthathehadsuch a hard time getting out of the draft that sent thousands of American boys to their deaths in Southeast Asia. Some call him smart; I think he is a coward. AIDS is a virus. In the history of mankind there has never, ever, been a cure for any type of virus. Anyone ever have the common cold? Guess what, it'sa virus too. Throwing money at a "liberal spend-now-pay-later" problem will only create waste and add to our huge deficit. On election night, Clinton said that we will have no more of the special interest groups. I could not stomach this, because that is exactly theconstituency who elected him president. And what about jobs? Clinton says that he plans to create jobs for the downtrodden of the country. Do you know why we haven't heard anymore about this prom­ ise? Because Clinton has no plan. You were led to believe all this time that he actually had a plan, just waiting to go intoeffect on Jan. 1 — wrong buddy, he has no idea what to do. Of course, having a democratic-controlled congress will make life considerably easier for Bill. Write to your congressmen and beg them not to become just another rubber stamp. The country cannot afford this kind of flaw in its lawmakers. At least Bush won in North Carolina, but the Demo­ cratic Party prevails. Test all incoming freshman for AIDS Chaste upper classmen must be protected from vile college newcomers By BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor Finally, someone in student govern­ ment came up with a good idea. The idea surfaced at the October meeting of the Association of Student Govern­ ments, a group comprised of student government people from all of the 16 member institutions of the University of North Carolina system. A representative from East Carolina University suggested 'that a mandatory AIDS testing program be implemented for all incoming fresh­ men. What a great way to screen out new freshmen! Let's line them up at doctors offices around the country and make them give lots of blood for intense testing. Surely some of the students won't want to have their blood tested for privacy rea­ sons. These students could go to college elsewhere; we don't want all of those germs floating around campus here at Appalachian. Shoot, while you're at it, let's go ahead and test those pre-freshmen for all of the other sexually transmitted diseases too. Let's make sure that all incoming fresh­ men are totally pure, because we have to protect the upperclassmen. Surely none of the upperclassmen have any dreaded disease. I'm not sure if it is a tradition or a condition, or may be even a syndrome, but one thing is for certain: at the beginning of every school year, 3,000to4,000 fresh­ men move into residence halls all at the same time. For many of them, this is the first time they have ever been away from strict parental guidance for any extended period of time. What happens next? It is actually quite predictable. Most of the freshmen get drunk like they never have been before. Most of the drunks become friendly like they never have been before, and many of these friendly people go home with just about any person that asks them to. (They are just being nice, of course.) I guess you could almost call it the Freshman Mating Ritual. For the first two weeks of classes in August, there is an incessant drunken orgy taking place in nearly every residence hall on campus. It is shameful to admit it, but sometimes some of the weaker upperclassmen get dragged into this ritual too. Then they drag stronger upperclassmen into the lovefest... Oh, what a vicious cycle it be­ comes. Suddenly, at the end of the two-week period, the ritual ends abruptly. It is as if freshman males and females snap back to reality and say, "What the h— am I do­ ing? I am not like this."Then everything calms down and goes back to normal, and the orgies only take place on the week­ ends. So now back to this AIDS thing. We have to protect the upperclassmen; so let's figure out a way to do it effectively. You can't get AIDS from casual contact with an infected individual, so we should go ahead and let infected freshmen come to school with us. We need some method of marking them to make sure that we, the pure upperclassmen, don't have sex with infected partners. Maybe we should give new freshman armbands. We could use those irremov­ able armbands like you get at Legend's when you are of legal drinking age. You would get a yellow one if you tested negative for sexually transmitted diseases, or a red one if you tested positive. We might could even hand out white ones to all incoming freshmen who are incoming virgins. (Afterthetwo-weekmatingritual, we could trade most of these white bands for the newly appropriate yellow or red ones.) There are problems with the system, of course. Inevitably someone would come into a supply of yellow bands and start Conversely, what,would you do if you wandered into a party or a bar and you decided that your dream date was there. Quickly, you disappear into the restroom and switch your yellow band with the (as society tells us) more desirable white band. How could that dream date possi­ bly resist you now? Some of you have undoubtedly reached the conclusion that my arm-band pro­ posal is a silly one. I don't know why it sounds silly, and granted there are a few problems with its implementation. Maybe it all started with the implementation of this mandatory AIDS testing idea from this East Carolina student government person. The more I think about it, the more I think maybe it is all just a silly idea.

I wish to commend a student I met while on campus Tuesday morning, Nov. 3, to cast my vote. "Pam" was stationed at the polling place with a poster listing "pro-choice" candidates and distributing a pro-democratic flyer. We were able to discuss our views without resorting to the inflammatory language or harassment which is so often called "free speech." The freedom to have a different opinion (good in itself) is typically used as an excuse to make a cowardly retreat from meaningful dialogue. Our conversation was free speech at its best — the sharing of views and the legitimate exercise of the freedom to persuade. I commend "Pam's" maturity,ability to listen, lack of defensiveness, and willingness to engage in reasonable dialogue in the public arena.

THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 Tuesday, November 3,1992 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boon®, NC 28608 Building receives clean bill of health cale that air in the College of Business building is healthy." BySUZI LANDIS Appalchian News Editor The College of Business received a dean bill of health from Law Engineering (LAW) last week. Tests on air quality samples found allknownsuspectcdchemicals below applicable guideline limits. "We are pleased with the report, and it held no surprises," said Ward Zimmeran, vice chancellor for business affairs. "The levels found by Law Engineering indi- LAW did outline six recommendations to further reduce air contaminants: 1) Burn in" new electronic equipment by leaving them turned on during non-work hours. 2) Purchase pre-printed forms that emit the fewest volatile organic com­ pounds. 3) Increase the minimum outside air intake, if possible. 4) Keep relative humidity at or below 60 percent if neces­ sary. 5) Check and adjust the building's three air handling units. 6) Modify drip pans in the air handling units to provide for continuous drainage. The study conducted in early Septem­ ber was in response to poor indoor air quality and occupant complaints. Three LAW members surveyed volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, par­ ticulates, carbondioxide, temperature and relative humidity. For the most part, samples were taken from one classroom and one office on each floor of the fourstory building. Formaldehyde sampling uicluded one outside sample in addition to the eight inside samples. Carbon diox­ ide monitoring was conducted in 16 loca­ tions throughout the College of Business building. Some chemicals tested do not have "clear indoor air quality standards for... a non-industrial workplace" according to tlvr LAW report. A common guide­ line that states a concentration of 1/10 Threshold Limit Values (TLV) would not produce complaints was used in the study. "VOCs are emitted from building ma­ terials and interior furnishings," said the report. Adhesives, caulking compounds, carpeting, floor and wall coverings and paints are such materials. Thereport states that VOCs emitted from these furnish­ ings and materials are reduced with lime. The "burn-in" suggestion would reduce VOC emission within two days to two weeks. Inside particulates and formaldehyde samples measured below levels of out­ door samples.Overall samples tested "low compared to values reported common to other building" and established values that cause complaints and irritation. LAW recommended that air handling units (AHUs) in the basement of the building be modified to ensure easy ac­ cess for inspection and maintence. Four AHUs "supply conditioned air through ducts to variable air volume (VAV) boxes throughout the building," explained the report. AHUs'controls have See BUILDING page 2 Harassment Security implements suit filed bicycle registration BySUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor By DANE PERRY Appalachian Staff Writer A Morganton woman has filed a law­ suit against a former Appalachian State University professor. The lawsuit claims Dr. Jeny L. Davis raped the woman and used his psychological training to con­ vince her to have a sexual relationship, reported the Charlotte Observer. The lawsuit was filed Monday in Burke County Superior Court by the woman and her husband and asks for more than $40,000 in damages, plus punitive dam­ ages. Davis,45,resigned July 21. Davis had been with the university since 1975. He was an associate professor and worked as a project training director forASU's Bringing It All Back Home Study Center in Morganton. Families with problem children, foster parents caring for children with special needs, and parents for adolescent group homes are counseled and trained at the center. Thelawsuit claims Davis forced sexual contact on the woman and raped her 111 1990 during out-of-town business hips. Davis continued to have a sexual relationship with the woman by using mangulation, position and psychologi­ cal training on the woman says the lawSuit. The lawsuit connects Davis' resignawith an investigation launched by ^center's director after he received report that Davis was involved with female co-workers. l,on Because the suit is in ligation, Appaschian officials decline to comment on ^*v's and the "ignation. circumstances of his Editor's note: "Morganton woman •kims in suit that ASU ex-professor tyed her" in the Charlotte Observer's cl 28 issue contributed to this article. BIKES FOR MILES: Because of a series of bicycle thefts, Appalachian police are re-emphasizing a bicycle registration pro­ gram. Police say limited storage for bikes contributes to the problem. Appalachian police are planning to implement a bicycle registration program in response to the large number of stolen bicycles this year. The plan consist of having the students fill out forms giving the police all the information needed to identify a bicycle. At this point the police would give the student a serial number on a sticker which would be placed somewhere on the bi­ cycle frame. Students can pick up these forms at the campus police station and most residence halls. "Forms will be available in our depart­ ment and other areas around campus...hopefully by the end of next week," said Captain Foster of ASU po­ lice. The university already has a registra­ tion plan, but over the last few years students have lost interest in using the process. The new system "will provide students with an Appalachian State Uni versity serial number for their bicycles at no cost" according to Foster. Captain Foster urges all students to register their bicycles because, "it is for the students safety and the safety of their possessions." Foster stressed that for the program to work students must do their part and report all suspicious people around bicycle racks or anyone trying to forcibly move a bicycle. "If it meant having the possibility of getting a bike back after it was stolen, it only makes sense to have it registered," said sophomore Jeff Katowitz. Police said one of the main reasons the number of bicycle thefts is so high is because there is not enough space to store all the bicycles. "More bicycle racks are being made and will be put at places around campus where they are drastically needed," said Foster. The StudentGovernment Association's student affairs committee is researching the need for more bike racks said chair See SECURITY page 2 Student Union construction won't exceed emissions limit By KARLA SMITH Appalachian Staff Writer The new student union construction will not create an emissions level prob­ lem at the Appalachian State University steam plant, even though a current emis­ sions control study will not be completed for six to seven months. The study began five months ago when officials determined that the steam plant would not be able to handle the proposed Student Activity Center without exceed­ ing allowed emissions levels. The plant is adequate to handle heating the building, but the emissions would have exceeded what was allowed, according to William G. Winkler, administrator of the physical plant. "The steam plant is an exampleof poor planning," said Shauna Roman, ASU se­ nior. "The steam plant was efficientwhen the university was small, as the university has expanded the steam plant has become inefficient." The new student union building poses no problem to the emissions levels. "There is low involvement with the new build­ ing, soit would not be aconcern," Winkler said. The current study began as a 15-month information-gathering process. Right now, the engineers are mid-process. "We should begin to see results soon," Winkier said. The study should be completed in six to seven months. The study also involves the collection of weather information. This part of the study should be completed in approxi­ mately one year. The information should be in hand by January 1994. The results of the study will be sent to environmental agencies. Engineers will devise a plan to reduce the threat of emis­ sion level problems. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has concerns in the area of emission levels. "All fuels have some byproducts undesirable to the environment,"Winkler said."We want to reduce the quantities of tliose prod­ ucts." The environmental agencies have to approve the plan before anything more can be done. After approval, it will be another five or six years before the im­ provements are in place. At this time, there are no decisions financially or physically. The study is in mid-process. The study represents an ef­ fort to determine what is to be done to reduce the threat of emission level prob­ lems. The study will try to answer politi­ cal questions, such as, the possiblility of bringing gas fuel to the area by pipe line.

Both surveys found that a substanial number favored Bill Clinton as the next president. Student developmentconducted a tele­ phone survey of 344 students, while the graduate students used questionnaires from approximately 400 students. Stu­ dents were asked who they were planning on voting for and how they categorized their political views in the student devel­ opment survey. The graduate students from the political science department sur­ veyed who people were going to vote for and the issues they felt were important. Both studies were conducted around the middle of October before the debates. The results of the surveys, therefore, are not influenced by the debates and do not include those people that changed their minds orpositions becauseof the debates. The student development survey found 40.4 percent of ASU students would vote for Clinton, while the political science graduate students counted 50.5 percentof the students in support of Clinton. The graduate students found 17.6 percent of the Clinton supporters were ASU Repub­ licans.

Reactions among representatives from the 16 University of North Carolina sys­ tem schools were mixed. "The reaction was split. There is defi­ nitely a question of whether it is feasible or ethical. We definitely want student input," said J.D. Adams, SGA director of state affairs. Some N.C. universities are already working on mandatory AIDS testing proposals, according to Adams. He says that Appalachian State may have to ad­ dress the issue if the proposal is accepted at individual schools, Adams said the issue was left as a suggestion, but he expects it will be ad­ dressed further at the ASG's November meeting.

Students can receive recycling ser­ vices by calling their landlords to obtain permission. GDS recycling service must be called and will provide either a central pickup bin for an apartment com­ plex or an individual bin to be picked up curbside. Most apartment complexes areeligible for a central bin, but smaller apartments or houses can receive individual bins. The off-campus recycling service is free of charge and will be completed in four months. All Boone apartments have said they are open to the possibility of recycling except those owned by the PSI company.

Two students were charged with possession of illegal sub­ stances and drug-related material. The students were referred to student court. Two ASU students were referred to student court for vandalism and larceny in Cannon residence hall. The students vandalized three floor lobbies early Fri­ day morning. Damage estimates are still being conducted. Two automobiles and three buildings were also vandalized over the week. The Boone fire department are inves­ tigating a possible tampering with a fire alarm in Coltrane residence hall. The alarm originated from the fourth-floor bathroom late Wednesday night. Offi­ cials believe someone sprayed a sub­ stance similar to lighter fluid and set the alarm off. Police confiscated a hunting knife from a non-student in Stansberry lot shortly after midnight Saturday. The subject ap­ peared to be going to or coming from a costume party and was not aware of university weapon policies. In other news, four alcohol violations were given out over the weekend. Police received two reports of dogs being tied uponcampus. Animal control wascalled in one incident. The owner of the dog was advised of the campus leash law in the other incident.

Rice expressed the willingness to build needed bike racks in the Oct. 27 senate meeting. The results of the research will be done later this week. Even though there is a lack of storage, "a bicycle can not be locked up inside a building" said Foster. "We will have to impound those vehicles if it is a violation of the state fire code."

South African 'homeland' under apartheid By NEAL G. LINEBACK Special to the Appalachian The focus of a recent article in "News week" was slaughter in South Affica'sCiskei"homeland."To most of the world, this incident was another epi­ sode in the conflict in South Africa without geographic reference. Yet Ciskei is an example of oneof ten"homelands" set aside by the Republic of South Africa for black tribes people under apart­ heid policies. The Republic of South Africa's 39.5 million population is 71 percent black African, 16 percent white, 10 percent of mixed descent called "coloured" and the remaining three percent is Asian and others. Significant is the fact that of the 6.6 million whites, 40 percent are of British descent and 60 percent are Afrikaners. Afrikaners are de­ scendants of white Dutch, French and German settlers, formerly called "Boers." The white Afrikaners speak a common language called "Af­ rikaans." This unique dialect developed from the Dutch language. The South African government is controlled by the whites, the coloureds and the Asians, each of which controls a "house" of Parliament and each being elected by its own ethnic group. Black Afri­ cans have no house in the Parliament and cannot vote in national elections. The Afrikaners, as a majority among the whites, are able to largely control government policy. For example, the president is elected by an electoral college made up of members of the three houses of Parliament. Since the white House of Assembly is the largest of the three houses and the Afrikaners are a majority of that house, Afrikaners, such as F.W. De Klerk, serve as president. Black Africans occupied southern Africa before Dutch settlers began arriving in 1652 as workers for the Dutch East India Company. Soon the rich lands northeast of Cape Town (and beyond) were being settled by "boers," or farmers. Meanwhile the British took over the Cape Province, the area around Cape Town, and made it their colony. The Boers resented British rule, and conflict erupted in the Boer War (1899-1902). The British won the war; meanwhile, black African tribes were also revolting against while rule by the British and the Boers. The Zulus were perhaps the fiercest of the re­ volting black tribes. During a major battle in 1879, an entire regiment of British soldiers was killed by the Zulus. Defeated later that year, the Zulus were the last of the black African tribes to be brought under white control. Although the British won both wars. South Africa's independence as the Union of South Af­ rica in 1910 left the former colony with fewer British descendants than Afrikaners (as the Boers became known). That fueled an Afrikaner nation­ alistic movement that led to laws of strict separation by race, known as apartheid (ah-par-TIED), begin ning in 1948. The South African go vernment divided the blacks into 10 "nations," or groups based on cultural similarities. Apartheid laws forced black Africans into 10"homelands" resembling American Indian reservations. About 13 percent of South Africa's territory most of it w ith poor potential for agricul­ ture was set aside for the homelands. The intent of the government was to ultimately set these homelands free, but there were inherent problems. Th" homelands were overpopulated and poor. And the black Africans resented the white control. Nearly half of the homeland governments remain under the tacit control of South Africa. The African National Congress (ANC), founded in 1912, has recently been the principal political organization of black South Africans opposing apartheid. This loosely organized group is com­ posed of many different tribal units and suffers from frequent internal conflicts. There are multiple and competing leaders (including NelsonMandela), causing the ANC's anti-apartheid efforts to often be ineffective. Ciskei is one of the homelands. Located on the steep slopes of the Great Escarpment, Ciskei (sisKAI) is a classic example of what is wrong with the homelands. A former black South African soldier, OupaGqozo, runs the homeland as his own private fiefdom, according to "Newsweek." The South Africangovernmentcovertly supports figures such as Gqozo because they help control black Africans in the homelands. The ANC leadershiprecently selected Ciskei to test world opinion on apartheid and its homeland provision. Perhaps 20,000 ANC supporters gath ered near Ciskei's small capital city, Bisho, with the apparent intent of overthrowing the homel and' s puppet government. The leadershipbet that Gqozo's troops would not open fire on unarmed civilians before the eyes of world news organizations. They were wrong. Twenty-nine people were killed and over 200 were injured. The episode certainly fo­ cused world attention on the South African homelands.

First in series, 'Slow Fire,' premieres tonight By ROBIN MARTIN Appalachian Staff A drama portraying the conflict of traditional values in a contemporary world is coming to Appalachian State University. On Nov. 3, the Paul Dresher Ensemble will present the drama "Slow Fire," which will begin at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium. "Slow Fire" is the first of three works in the ensemble's "American Tril­ ogy." The play is a combination of music, drama and movement. It traces the separation of traditional values, practical wisdom, selfreliance and progress from a contemporary world where these values no longer apply to living. "Slow Fire" was developed by Dresher, Paul Eckert and director Richard E.T. White. Eckert plays Bob, a man caught between the American Alice in Chains' 'Dirt' won't be seen on 'top 40' e - art department. In 1988 she helped update the entire art curriculum. This project included in­ creasing the credit hours of studio art courses and creating course outlines for all art classes. She has helped the department meet the requirements of the core curriculum and assessment measures. The art department is in the midst of changing now and Humphrey said that it is "testing waters" to see what needs to change further. Although the art department is limited in its resources, Humphrey understands that this is not the best time to improve as the budget has been cut back. However, she hopes that eventually Appala­ chian will be able to expand its art program. Besides working with thecurriculum, Humphrey has contributed even more of her time to the department by founding and directing the Appala­ chian National Drawing Competition, serving on the chairperson review, and working with the university art gallery. She has also worked with the department art loan program, departmental assess­ ment, and served as the department's academic/ long range planner for seven years. Even though Humphrey has dedicatedcountless hours to the art department and her teaching, she still manages to find time for her own artwork. "My artwork is my therapy," Humphrey said. "I lose myself in my art. It should make us question what we're about and show us the complexity of our lives." By CHRISTOPHER BRADSHAW Appalachian Staff Writer "Dirt," is Alice In Chains' new release and a ionic assault from the opening track to the last. An inventive grunge-metal style sets AIC above the media-hyped frenzy surrounding the groups com­ ing from the Northwest, and "Dirt"is an encouraging sign of sounds tocome from fellow Seattlites Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden. The harsh realities kept in the shadows of society are the substance which AIC songwriters Jerry Cantrell, lead guitar, and Layne Staley, vocals, feed upon.. Metal meditations on death ("Them Bones," "Rain When I Die") and heroin addiction ("Junkhead," "God Smack") transform the musi­ cal terrain of "Dirt" into a nightmare vision of a society trapped under the tremendous weight of its ills. Alice In Chains' 1990debut,"Facelift,"demonstrated the band's promise but many of the songs wandered for lack of focus. Producer Dave Jerden has returned to preserve the same sound on "Dirt," though this time AIC hasmore depth and control of its material. "Dirt" doesn't have any soft spots, lyrically or musically. Alice In Chains is proving itself a band to be reckoned with. They aren't stuck on the college charts; "Dirt" debuted in "Billboard" at number six. AIC's image and music may not seem the commercial type, but their performances, both on disc and on stage can't be denied. "Facelift" was the engine firing up, "Sap"put the train into motion and "Dirt" is Alice InChains' building momentum to a speed that should exceed everyone's expecta­ tion;. "Facel i ft" 1990* **/"Sap"( 1992)****/ "Dirt"(1992)**** dream of success and the problems of contempo­ rary urban living. The action lakes place in one weekend and the story unfolds through memories and thoughts that hint at secrets and conflicts throughout the performance. As Bob talks andremembers parts of his past, the audience hears the voice of Bob s father who brings up Ojd fashioned rural wisdom which clashes with Bob's urban consum­ erism. "Slow Fire" premiered in 1988atSanFransico's Theatre Artaud. It was proclaimed "a master­ piece" by the San Fransico Chronicle and "a rare classic in the contemporary performance genre"by Artweek. Creator Paul Dresher has produced a sound system innovation for the show. Dresher uses a four-channel tape delay system that infuses one musical score with the rhythms of rock 'n' roll. Through this system he manipulates speech and music throughout the drama. Dresher also plays electric guitar and synthesizers for the perfor­ mance. Gene Reffkin is the percussionist for the show. The performance is made possible in part by contributions from the Southern Arts Federation, the National Endowment for the Arts and the North Carolina Arts Council. Tickets will be S4 for students and S8 for non-students. Tickets are available at the auditorium box office weekdays from 10 am. to 6 p.m. Call 262-6084 for more information.

November 3. 7992 Gora gives sax performance Special to the Appalachian You won't hear jazz or the bluesduring "An Evening of Saxophone Music"Nov. 3 at Appalachian State University. The 8 p.m. concert in Broyhill Music Center will feature Dr. William Gora playing classical compositions written for the so­ prano, alto and baritone saxophones. The recital is part of the School of Music's Faculty Recital Series. Call 262-3020 for more information. Gora's performance is dedicated to the inventor of the saxophone, Adolphe Sax, and the 178th anniversary of his birth. 'The saxophone is thenewest of the wood­ wind instruments," Gora said. "It was invented and patented in 1842." The newness of the instrument's origin means it is seldom heard in orchestras. "The saxophone is known because of its connection to jazz," Gora said. "Since most classical music was written before the instrument was invented, it is seldom found in a symphony orchestra." Gora will perform Telemann's "Con­ certo in G minor," a piece he transcribed for soprano saxophone. "1 heard the piece one evening on public radio while I was driving home from work," he said. "I drove almost to the Tennessee border to hear the announcer identify the composition."The piece was originally written for an oboe d'amore, a type of oboe, and string orchestra. Gora will be accompa­ nied by harpsichordist Max Smith and cellist Ken Lurie. Gorawill also perform Rachmaninoff s "Vocalise" and Eugene Bozza's "Con­ certo for Alto Saxophone and Piano," accompanied by pianist Allen Kindt. He will play two songs unaccompa­ nied on baritone sax: three movements from a Bach cello suite and "Petite Suite for Saxophone" by Walter Hartley. Gora started playing saxophone when he was eight. "I probably picked the saxo­ phone because it was the shiniest instru­ ment," he said. "It has taken me a lot of places my mom probably wished I hadn't gone." Gora was playing in bars and at dances at age 12. His career has since taken him to Holland, Germany, Austria, Switzer­ land, Italy, Poland, Romania, Canada and across the U.S. In additional to classical compositions, Gora plays jazz and rock 'n' roll. "I love it all," he said.

Master Musicians of Jajouka perform once again for universal appe By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer The Master Musicians of Jajouka have been introduced to American audiences before: back in the late 60's, deceased Rolling Stone Brian Jones recorded and released an album of their hypnotic mu­ sic. Fifteen years before that, writer Paul Bowles and artist Brian Gysin had al­ ready slaked out claims to the "discov­ ery" of the musicians and their ancient Moroccan melodies. In the early 1950's Gysin established a nightclub in Tangier to present the Master Musicians to new audiences, and the club operated on-andoff for four years. It was in Gysin's club that literary legend William S. Burroughs 4A Jj I J *rrik>7fi3 fttoivi VV hi first encountered the Master Musicians. Burroughs supplies the liner notes for the new recording, APOCALYPSE ACROSS THE SKY - produced by Bill Laswell. These notes relate some of the rich history of the Jajouka musicians: according to legend, the world will end if the Master Musicians ever stop playing. The music itself is said to have originated with Roman religious holidays, and this extended family of musicians have main­ tained their musical tradition for over 4,000 years. None of the songs here are anywhere close to being that old, but rich and extensive history is still reflected in the complexity of the new album. The first track on the new recording is "Gabahay," which stands as a powerful preface to everything else on this disc. Theprominentinstrumenthereis theraita, a horn which produces hypnotic, reedlike sound. The orchestra of raitas swirl back and forth for over six minutes, following a repetitive melody, and locked down by the dense layers of percussion going non­ stop behind it all. "El Medahey," track 3, is perhaps the most spectacular of all thesongs here, and is exemplary of their slower composi­ tions. The flutes come on quiet and trance­ like, rising steadily in intensity, again following a repetitive melodic line occa­ sionally interrupted by festive, staccato bursts. The melody of the flutes is consis­ tently beautiful, evoking images of desert landscapes, and the steady choir of per­ cussion again forms a dense backdrop which keeps everything under tight con­ Congratulations... trol. Throughout APOCALYPSE UN­ DER THE SKY, the Master Musicians maintain light precision in crafting in­ tensely suggestive music, and the rich atmospheres stretching across the scenic geography of "El Medahey" are a won­ derful example. Several vocal compositions are present here, and most work along simple (but effective) call-and-response lines. "Alalilla 'About the Night'" features allfemale vocals - a lead vocalist who sets up the melody in each of her solos, and a chorus which comes in after the solos, varying the basic melody. The only other instrumentation here is the drums; the vocals here occupy the space reserved for homs on the instrumental tracks. Immediately following "Alalilla 'About the Night'" is "The Middle of the Night," another of the meditative instru­ mental compositions. Drums eventually appear in this song, but more as a melodic accompaniment than as a strict rhythm instrument. Stringed instruments are used both as rhythm devices (in synch with the drums) and as a lead instrument, and the rhythm/lead roles are blurred; each in­ strument shifts between both roles throughout the song. The fluid, shifting nature of the sound is as constant as breathing - butclose inspection reveals a subtle and skillful compositional com­ plexity. This could well be the key to the Mas­ ter Musicians of Jajouka. To my ears this music is rich and alluring. These songs should be popular, as the Master Musi­ cians understand that music shot tain - the sounds here are lively live; fascinating and enjoyable to. They also understand thai music should also inform, leav thing in your head that you will; over and over.

Senior Julie Cooper finished second with a time of 19:10 followed by junior Nicole Disher in fifth at 19:17. Sophomore Dawn Wehrenberg was tenth for the Lady Apps with a clocking of 19- 27. All four of these ^ competitors were named all-conference forthcirtopten finishes. The Lady Moun­ taineer lop five was rounded out by fresh nan Suzanne Black with a 16th place l;kime of 20:16. "It was a great win for us. Our girls were tough and they really rose to the xcasion and went into the conference neet and did exactly what they had to do [e to win," ASU Head Coach John Weaver laid. "Winning is a matter of pride to our girls. No one wants to be a part of a losing squad and everyone really got together and did their best. 1 was very pleased with everyone's performance (UTC and Gail Pennachio and Heather Vandebrake (both of Furman) had posted the top league times for the majority of the season. I was really surprised withCarTie and Julie. Everyone just ran so tough." Other strong performances for the Lady Apps came from Jannica Hjertman and Leah Walker who finished 19th and 20th respectively with clockings of 20:28 and 20:58 while Kim Curry placed 34th with a time of 21:42. Tennessee-Chattanooga and Furman tied for second in the meet with 65 points behind ASU's 34. Western Carolina was fourth with 122 followed by Davidson with a fifth place 139. East Tennessee State was sixth with 155 and Marshall was seventh with 166. Georgia Southern rounded out the race with 189. Furman's Heather Vandebrake was named conference freshman of the year while Tennessee-Chattanooga coach Bill Gauticr took coach of the year titles. The victory is the eighteenth consecu­ tive for the Lady Mountaineer track pro­ gram, combining cross country, indoor track, and outdoor track titles. The Lady Apps will travel to Furman in Greenville, S.C. to complete in the Re­ gional District III Meet on Nov. 14. Weayer explained that his squad is full ol overachievers and noted the top five as examples Carrie entered the program never hav ing run under 22 minutes and she w on the conference title. Julie was with us a year before leaving and she returned in her final year of eligibility, really coming in having prepared well over the summer. Nicole is here from Florida where the terrain is much different and she has re ally adapted and progressed amazingly. Dawn arne in not even sure if she wanted to run and Suzanne was high school slate champion but was plagued with illnesses all season. So, you can see that these girls don't come into our pro­ gram as big lime runners. They strive to be the best that they can and they have fun doing it. 1 hat is what has made them such a pleasure to work with this season," Weaver said. Weaver, who fell threatened by the tal­ ent of Tennessee-Chattanooga and Furinan early in the season, was quite astonished with the win. "Lucie Mays By LYDIACRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor Tom Holland, Todd Walters, and Billy Pemberton led the Mountaineers to a sec­ ond place finish in the Southern Confer­ ence Cross Country Championships this past Saturday in Lexington, VA at Vir­ ginia Military Institute. The Mountaineers finished second with 43 points behind East Tennessee Slate who scored 23 points for their fifth con­ secutive conference crown. "We ran an outstanding race. It was one of the best ever ran by a Mountaineer squad; we just got beat by a really strong squad in ETSU," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Holland finished fourth with a time of 25:30 on the five-mile course to earn the title of conference freshman of the year. Senior Walters finished seventh at 26:10 with junior Pemberton right behind at 26:11 for eighth place. All three perform­ ers were named all-conference. These were good times considering the difficulty of the course at VMI. Tom ran well, slating the all-time highest fin­ ish by an ASU freshman. Todd and Billy came through for us also. Todd badly sprained his ankle about 1.5 miles into the race and went on despite great physical pain. Billy really moved up like we have expected him to do," Fereshetian said. Senior Brian Watkins and sophomore Brian Miesch rounded out the Appalachian top five with finislies in 11th and 13th places with respective times of 26:22 and 26:25. The total meet score for the Mountain­ eers was the lowest team score in ASU cross country history and placing three in the top ten in the league championships ties records set in 1988 and 1990. The meet also marked the highest ever finish for the top five competitors on the squad. We did a lot of things in this meet. This just shows what this year's team is all about and that is setting trends," Fereshetian said. Fereshetian noted the improvement of the squad when compared to last year's squad who finished behind ETSU in the conference championships. "Last year, they (ETSU) beat us 17 to 71 and this year we really closed the gap." Other strong performances for Appala­ chian State came from Alan Whicker and Dustin Allred who finished 25th and 26th with clockings of 27:12 and 27:17 respec lively. Jamie Griggs was 37th for the Apps with a time of 27:53.

ASU's Mountaineers rally to defeat Moccasins, 37-17 i, By PHIL MCCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State Mountaineers >wed no signs of quitting as they terror llheUniversilyofTcnnes.se at Chatta­ nooga 37-17 on Halloween night for a 'crucial Southern Conference win. The win gives the Mountaineers new hope after the regular season race was made closer thanks to Western Carolina's upset of top-ranked Marshall. ASU head coach Jerry Moore, after nearly counting his team out following a loss to Furman last week, now realizes lire opportunity before his team. "I guess it was kindof in die back of our minds that something like that might hap­ pen." said MooVe. "There is now a fay of light out there, no matter how dim. The good thing about our situation is that we still play some of the people (that are in die hunt for the league champion ship)." The Mountaineers did most of their damage with a balanced ground attack that totaled 246 yards. Johnny Smith led the rushing attack with 73 yards on 11 carries. Chip Hooks, J.K. Reaves, Willie McLaih, D.J/CampbfTl, and Andv Arnold split up the rest of the yardage. The Mountaineers got on the board first when Campbell capped a short drive with an 11 -yard touchdown run. Next possesion, ASU took the ball 59 yards in 10 plays before Smith scampered around right guard for an eight yard score. Jay Millson booted a 42-yard field goal with 2:14 remaining in the second quarter to give the Mountaineers a 17-3 halftime advantage. The Moccasins got on the board with a 30-yard field goal by placekicker Rodney Allen. The Mountaineers blew the game open in the second half with Anthony Smith's 70-yard punt return to the Moccasin two yard line. Campbell took it in two plays later. The Moccasins added fourteen points in the fourth quarter. Erik Hutchins hit Bobby Acree for a 17 yard score at the 10:14 mark and Luke Holcombe threw for a 10 yard touchdown to Rusty Wright with :34 on the clock. The next big play came when line­ backer Tany Brown intercepted a Kenyon Earl pass andraced46 yards foT thetouchdo wrf ahd a 31 -3 advantage. "Those were big plays," said Moore. The Mountaineers improve to4-4 over­ all and 3-2 in the SC. The Apps must win two more conference games, Marshall next week and Western Carolina on Nov. 21, for a chance at the I-AA playoffs. App State booters split final matches By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer 1 Appalachian closed out its regular sea­ son soccer schedule with a pair of nonconference home affairs last weekend against Slippery Rock and North Caro­ lina. The Mountaineers split the pair of matches, beating SRU 5-1, while drop­ ping a 3-1 overtime affair to the Tar Heels. Appalachian Photo by Carl Sums INTERS SPLIT A PAIR OF MATCHES AT SEASON'S END: The Appalachian Slate soccer squad defeated Slippery Rock last Friday before falling to UNC-Chapel ® oyertime on Sunday in their final matches of the season The two games ended the Mountain­ eers' regular season at 8-9-1. Against Slippery Rock last Friday, Appalachian erupted for tfiree goals in die first 13 minutes of action to put the game away early. The Mountaineers added two second-half insurance goals to produce their biggest offensive output of the sea­ son. Junior midfielder Brian Jillings led the way offensively for ASU, scoring two goals and dishing out two assists. Jillings' six points in the game were themost by an Appalachian player smce 1989. Senior Bobby Martin started the scor­ ing for Appalachian three minutes into the game when he scored off a double assist from Jillings and Keith Ellis. David Terry scored the second Moun­ taineer goal just six m inutes later when he netted a penalty kick after being taken down in the box by Slippery Rock goalie Michael Doutrich. Scott Griffith added the third Moun­ taineer goal of the half four minutes later when he took Jillings' pass and scored on a breakaway. Slippery Rock's lone score came ten minutes into the second half when Dean Graziano scored unassisted to make the score 3-1. From there, Appalachian's defense tightened, allowing SRU no further shots on goal. Jillings put the game away when he took Terry's free kick and headed it in at the 75:42 mark. Jillings last goal came with under five minutes to play when he scored off a double assist in the box. "Our team speed was a big factor in the game," Appalachi an Head Coach Art Rex said following the game. "We were just faster than they were, and that helped us dominate things offensively." Jillings, who missed five games in the middle of the season with a strained knee, is now second on the team in goals and points. The Canada native now has four goals, four assists and 12 points this year. On Sunday, the Mountaineers hosted North Carolina in the final home match of the season. The Mountaineers managed to force the Tar Heels into overtime be­ fore UNC put the game away with two quick scores in the first overtime session. North Carolina broke out on top in the firsthalf when Marco Fermzzi scored just 50 seconds before halftime. Terry tied the match at the 59:00minute mark with his 13th goal of the season.

Bicycles are probably the hottest item on the Appalachian campus. It almost ics without saying that if you buy a bike, you buy a lock. A bike without a lock no longer your bike.

SET IN THERE AND VfTZtt Today, the race for the presidency of the United States enters the final stage of the challenge. Before a winner is declared, we, the voters, must run the last leg as we elect our new leader. We'll stand in line for as long as it takes to reach the booth, to close the curtain, and to participate in a historical decision — to vote. Tonight we'll gather in front of television sets with friends who share our same convictions. Together, America will hold its breath while the votes are counted. And as soon as our new president is triumphantly announced, the race will be over and the winner will prepare to make a four-year victory lap. oting required to take democracy work Bicycle registration: Making crime tougher By LORRIE GANTT Commentary Editor Reactions to the outcome of the election will range from indifference to indignation. Unfortunately, there will be folks who shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, at least we won't have to go through that election mess for another four years." These people will turn the television off, go to bed, and go on with the rest of their lives relieved, as if selecting our new president was a rude interruption of their daily routine. Yawn. Some of us, however, will lapse into disappointed silence as we face the reality of who our next president will be. Others will say a few choice words accompanied by loud volume. Everyone who voted against the winner will begin to wonder what the next four years holds in store for our nation. Imaginations will conjure up pictures of despair and ruin for the future, and people will say things like, "I can't believe this clown is our president", and "Boy, are we in trouble now!". And some of those who voted for one of the other candidates will feel that their vole didn't count, and they'll wonder why they stood in line to "speak out" in the first place. If you find yourself demonstrating this type of attitude, please realize you are making a mistake. Yes, there can only be one president, and the other candidates will have to wait until next time around to try again; but just because the candidate you select is not elected doesn't mean that your vote is worthless. You don't have to be silent and resign yourself to becoming part of the woodwork for four years. Starting Nov. 4, all of us need to become more involved in the future of the United States. The folks who don't care one way or another will need a motivation overhaul, so the victorious enthusiasts can give the indifferents a jump start. All the indignates will have to do is keep their focus on what's best for the nation and re-channel their efforts. The involve­ ment of the people should not end on election day. We should treat every year like an election year. Citizens of America, we should pay close attention to the everyday progress of our leaders, not only when we re about to elect them, but when they've just been elected. Maybe if we all try to remain informed of what goes on in Washington D.C. throughout the next presidency, there won't be as much confusion regarding issues when the next election rolls around. I heard someone say, "What are we going to do after election day, when there are no campaigns to follow, no debates to watch, and no interviews to analyze? We'll be lost." Let me suggest an answer. People should pay as much attention to the president's actions while in office as they did to his progress on the campaign trail. Just because his job is secured for the next four years doesn't mean we should allow him to go about his business unsupervised. Regardless of the outcome in today's election, America is still our home and country. You may not be willing to sing the praises of our president, but if you're not doing everything YOU can do toward improving the state of the U.S., then you've got nothing on the president. Arm yourselves with education and information, people. Follow the progress of our leaders and representatives. Here at ASU, we have entire sections of periodicals and government documents in Belk Library. If you are skeptical about what you see and read in the media, walk over to the library and read the American Economic Review or Economic Indicators. These periodicals and documents provide substantial facts and figures about the progress of our country, and I've mentioned only two. Tonight, America will accept the president who will lead the United States into 1996. If the people follow the government in ignorance and silence, like a herd of dependent sheep, then America is not functioning as it should. The end of Election '92 marks the beginning of our lives for the next four years — a race we must all run together. Politics infuriates, impassions and offends Who is to blame for our political dilemma To the Editor: For quite some time now I have been trying to understand the problems with our political system, specifically how negative advertising, untruths, lies, distortions, character assassinations, etc., etc., seem to dominate political discourse. I have always raged against the painful absence of real issues in modern political campaigns. I finally discovered the root of the problem: Lorrie Gantt. Lorrie wrote an editorial in the Oct. 27 edition of The Appalachian lambasting the performance of both debate teams in the recent political debates held on campus. She made the predictable criticism that the debaters participated in "unnecessary name calling, character bashing and ridicu­ lous ramblings." She said they "projected shallow opinions regarding the opposing candidates." She wrote an extremely eloquent dissertation raging against all that both Lome and I hate about the system. Have I confused you? I sat on the College Democrats debate team, and she was raging against me. I organized our debate team, picked two knowledgeable students capable of communicating our candidates' positions, and we researched the issues in preparation for the debate. Our responses to the six planned questions were issue specific, with nothing personal. Our two impromptu questions attacked republicans on the issues, which was our job. Then came the questions from the audience. I was told I was not a Christian, that volcanoes create all the air pollution, that I kill babies, that if we tax abortions we could solve the deficit, that I was not an American, that all homosexuals are going to hell, that Jim Hunt killed an ASU student, that Dennis Wicker likes cop-killers, and finally that I was obviously satanic. Never have I witnessed such political ignorance displayed by so many students. But I feel like the root of the problem was Lorrie's reaction to the debate. Instead of discounting the ridiculous, reporting the ignorance, and concentrating on the issues; Lorrie removed herself from the entire political process. She devaluated both debate teams, surrendered her ability to confront the mutual problem, and excised herself from her own democracy. When so many people choose to isolate them­ selves from the political process, the ignorance both Lorrie and I detest is only perpetuated. This is why 1 am now attacking her and everyone else who feels the same way. You must not gorrectly identify everything that is wrong with your country, and the way we elect our leaders, and then cross your arms and refuse to participate! As much as I disagree with republicans, it is not they who are ruining our country; they are only the symptom of a much larger problem. The true blame rests with the 175 million Americans who refuse to participate in their own democracy. What kind of American is it that would let someone else decide who would govern them? You must jump into the political arena, allow yourself to be attacked, and become a part of the solution. (And so Lorrie, and the rest of you who loathe watching us decide who will govern your country, how does it feel to be involved?) P.W. Glidewell Box 06156 Don't be deceived about Bush's record To the Editor: It's about time people heard the truth about the election and why they should re-elect an experienced leader: George Bush. I haven't heard any truth out of the liberal media. We'll start in foreign policy. President Bush has brought both the Arabs and the Israelis to the peace table. They are finally beginning to discuss substantive issues such as the Palestinian question and Israel's sovereignty. These people have had animosity toward each other for centuries, and it is amazing that they are even sitting down together. George Bush also directed the most successful military campaign in recent history. He was rated a "10" as a commander-in-chief by General Schwartzkopf, which was something I heard very little about from the media. People say that Bush messed up by leaving Saddam in power and by cajoling him before the war. Before the war we needed a counter-balance to Iran, or it might have been the Ayatollah marching into Kuwait instead of Iraq. Also, killing Saddam would not have been to our advantage. Even though Saddam prevailed and is stronger in his own nation, he is isolated. His army is strong enough to defend itself against the toughest of its neighbors, yet weak enough so it can't threaten the weakest of its neighbors. Bush is also smart enough to keep us out of the Yugoslav crisis. Anyone even remotely connected to the military knows that in order to avoid another Vietnam, there must be a clear and obvious objective. We would have to take a definite side. Who is the bad guy in Bosnia? Who would we support and why? Did you notice earlier in the year Bill Clinton said he would have ordered airstrikes and sent in ground troops, all against the advice of the best military commanders? Bush refused to coddle the hard-line communists during the Soviet coup. He supported Boris Yeltsin. Bush has also helped put together an aid package for the former Soviet republics. I know people say that we should keep our money at home, but aiding the former Soviet Union is vital in keeping it from destabilizing. We didn't help Germany after World War I, and twenty years later we were involved in the worst war in history. After World War II we rebuilt Germany and Japan, and, despite what the press may say, they are now two of our strongest allies. Bush has provided solid foreign leadership. Bush has also provided excellent leadership on the domestic front. With a new congress, maybe he can get something done. I will show you what I mean. Within the first few months of his presidency, George Bush proposed a massive crime bill that would have revamped the criminal justice system. There has been no action on this bill by congress in more than 1200 days. President Bush's education plan, America 2000, called by teachers "the most comprehensive and well thoughtout education plan ever proposed by an American president" has not been acted on by congress in more than 500 days. The president has also proposed legislation that would have begun restructuring and rebuilding the inner cities. His enterprise zone tax incentives were proposed over 600 days ago. Again, no action by congress. He helped break a decade-long deadlock and rewrote the Clean Air Act, which relies on market incentives, and not threats, to clean the air. He pushed through a civil rights bill and a disabilities bill which helps a very large portion of the public. He helped re-write these acts to make them fair and not burdensome to business. Many people wrongly blame Bush not only for the national deficit, but also for not proposing any economic reforms. Bush's economic package, unveiled after Desert Storm, is still in congress — no action in over 250 days. Also, congress has killed every budget that Bush has proposed. If one checks federal records, information that the press has not seen fit to disclose, one will find that the first budget that Bush proposed would have produced a fiscal surplus by 1993. The latest budget he proposed would have produced a fiscal surplus by 1998. Many people have criticized Bush for raising taxes. I think it took courage to break the congressional gridlock and offer a compromise. Clinton says he'll only tax the rich and increase govern­ ment spending by $175 billion. All of the money that the "rich" have would total only $54 billion. Where is he going to get the other $121 billion? From people like me and you. Maybe we do need to elect Bill Clinton to remind us what the late seventies were like (inflation: 17 percent, interest rates: 21 percent, and unemployment: 13 percent). The choice this election is clear. Re-elect an experienced leader with the know-how to revitalize our country, or elect a disaster waiting to happen. Clinton says he is for change but does not specify what kind of change. If you just want change, vote for Pee-Wee Herman. If you want a good leader, re-elect George Bush. Russell Meyer P.O. Box 10761 metnm' Homosexuals are 'not natural' says Burr To the Editor: I wish to follow up on the article "Candidate Burr addresses SGA" which appeared in the Oct. 22 edition of The Appalachian. The article stated, "On the issues of gay rights and abortion. Burr said he was against same-sex marriages and gay families adopting." While this statement does report part of what Mr. Burr said, I feel it is important for the ASU community to be com­ pletely informed concerning the remarks he made at the Oct. 20 meeting of SGA. During the question and answer period, I asked Mr. Burr the following question; "This year several issues are of great concern to the gay and lesbian voters who make up ten percent of this district. Will you please state your position concerning federal legislation which would guarantee the civil rights of gay and lesbian people and their equal protection under the law. Also, will you please inform us of your position in regard to the military's discriminatory policy toward gay and lesbian people." Mr. Burr immediately changed the context of my question by stating, "If you mean.. .a bill which would call for same-sex marriage rights and gay adoption rights, then no, I am against that." Mr. BUTT then proceeded to discourse on vague topics such as "difficult" times, cultural diversity, the "right to disagree." "what is right from wrong." and "natural from unnatural." Being a gay man, I was highly offended by Mr. Burr's remarks labeling me "wrong" and "unnatural." Gay and lesbian people, whether visably or hiding in a closet imposed by society's homophobia, have made significant contributions to society since the beginning of recorded history (Alexander the Great, Langs ton Hughes, and MANY others). We are found in every culture. Those who are exclusively gay or lesbian comprise approximately ten percent of the world's population. Sexuality is diversely expressed crossculturally and runs the gamut from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual with eighty percent of people falling somewhere in between. I may not be "natural" to Mr. BUTT, but I express my sexuality in the only way that is natural for me. My orientation is not something that I choose; my only choice is in accepting myself for who, and what, I am. Evan Smith SAGA Co-president Box 18750 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 $.67 No. 16 Thursday, October 29,1992 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 ASU ranked 15th for 2nd year U.S. News World and ' lists Appalachian Report ly COLLEEN ALDRIDGE ' an Staff Writer Appalachian ranked 15th out of 147 outhern regional universities in U.S. lews and World Report's 1993 College Juide Issue. The best of these universities combine igh academic standards to come up with lell-rounded institutions. The schools are inked according to their overall percentge score, made up of catgories including cadcmic reputation, student selectivity, £ faculty resources,financial resourcesand student satisfaction. Appalachian has been included in the top 15 southern regional universities five times since the College Guide Issue be­ gan in 1985. Last year Appalachian ranked 15th in its category with an overall'score of 77.2 percent. This year all of Appalachian's statistics went up except for one, resulting in anoverall percentage score of 81.1 "I'm extremely proud of all the fac­ ulty, staff and students for earning this ranking for us," said Dr. John Thomas, chancellor of Appalachian State Univesity. "We have all worked together to push Appalachian right into the fore­ front and have reason to be proud of our high rankings." "One criteria U.S. News and World Report looks at is the amount of money being spent per student," said Mark Levine, assistant vice chancellor for pub­ lic affairs. "A school can be outstanding but because of a bad state economy can fall out of the rankings." Appalachian, in spite of state budget crunches, has re­ mained stronger than most schools in the financial resources category. These arevery important statistics, said Thomas, because a degree from a school held in high esteem means more to the student. Appalachian has a very bright future, according to Thomas. He expects the university's scores to continue going up after he leaves at the end of this year. Other North Carolina schools included in the top 15 southern regional universi­ ties were the UNC-Charlotte and Wake Forest University. Wake Forest has been ranked 1st among die 147 schools insouth­ ern region category for six years in a row. The office of Student Development conducted a survey this past month to determine the political attitudes of Appalachian students. Three hundred and forty-four students were surveyed by telephone on the evenings of Oct. 5,6,13 and 14. The survey, which has a 90percent confidence level, asked students to weigh their agreement with various political questions. The pie graph below shows results of the survey.

Study shows students who work have higher pPAs and better time management skills By NANCY SCOTT Appalachian Staff writer Contrary to popular belief, employ­ ment does not have a negative effect on a student's academic performance, accordt0 a survey from the student develop­ ment office. Students who work while "tending ASU do better academically than students who do not work. The suryey also showed that student employment does n°t have a negative effect on a student's ability to graduate in four years. The survey, which was conducted in April, found that approximately 48% of ASU students are employed during the o» N-Mi n utmm school year. Those students who are em­ ployed work an average of 18 hours per week. National research has shown that student employment does not have a nega­ tive influence on a student's performance as long as the student does not work more than 25 hours per week. "Research as a whole shows that stu­ dents who work have a better GPA than students who don't," says Wes Weaver, of the student employment office."I think working allows me to manage my time better," said senior Sandy Feutz. "It gives me structure." Weaver says that besides the obvious financial gains, students also leant valu­ able lessons when they work, in such areas as time management and communi­ cation skills. He says that employment also helps students gain skills that will help them in their future job search. Stu­ dents can develop skills in using comput­ ers and other office equipment, along with building their resume and making contacts for future reference. Weaver adds that on-campus working allows students to feel more a part of campus and helps them to become more a part of the univer­ sity scene. In addition, the students who were surveyed listed social opportunities, responsibility, getting to know faculty members, and a sense of accomplishment as other benefits of their employment. "When you have to work you have to face up to responsibility," said senior Sheila Kasperek. "You have to deal with real-life pressures." The office of student employment is here to assist students in finding employ­ ment, both on andoff campus. They main­ tain a job bulletin board with current listings of off-campus jobs, and they make referrals for jobs off campus. In addition, they are in charge of on-campus employ­ ment, both the work study program, which is based on financial aid, and student temporary work. For more information on finding part-time employment both on and off campus, stop by the office in I. G. Greer or call 262-4099. Senators question committee selection By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer AtTuesday's SGA meeting,some sena­ tors showed their disapproval when Presi­ dent Dan Gurley told the senate that only two of the sixteen members of the chan­ cellor search committee were students: Gurley and vice president, Doug Duncan. "I do congratulate Dan on at least get­ ting another student on the committee. I'm very disappointed that there are not more student representatives on the com­ mittee, since students are what this uni­ versity is all about," said senator Evan Smith, off-campus representative. When the committee of 15 was origi­ nally announced Saturday morning, only one student, Gurley, was selected by ChairmanTomChandler. Whenthecommittee was announced at the Board of Trustees meeting, Gurley expressed his concern about the lack of student repre­ sentation. "I told him that there would be an uproar and as president of the student body, I would direct every bit of that uproar directly to him," Gurley told the senate. The committee then decided to add one more member, Duncan. Although senators congratulated Gurley on getting another student on the committee, many still felt that was not enough. Concerns were also voiced that Gurley and Duncan were not a diverse section of the student population. Several senators felt that the senate should react to what they called a "disproportionate amount" of students on the committee, possibly in the form of a petition. However, Gurley said that the chances of the committee changing were slim. "I think everyone is feeling pretty po w erless right now," said Smith. Chandler could not be reached for comment. In other business, Bruce Kimball, so­ cialist candidate for governor, addressed the senate. See SGA page 2 Faculty Senate says no smoking on campus Etc^ Student discounts offered Page 3 Sports 10th annual Big Apple Road Race success Pages a Sommentarv Jn depth; Bush, Linton and Perot Page 7 By Dane Perry Appalachian Staff Writer Over thepast year many campus groups have addressed the issueof smoking poli­ cies in Appalachian State buildings. The first action was taken November 1991. A Faculty Senate committee passed a no-smoking resolution that was pre­ sented to Chancellor John Thomas. Ac­ cording to Dr. Joan Walls, chairperson of the FacultySenate, "This resolutionasked the chancellor to endorse a smoke-free environment inall academic areas includ­ ing administrative and classroom build­ ings along with faculty office areas."The chancellor approved this resolution Jan. 1992. After thechancellor approved the reso­ lution Susan Stamper head of health pro­ motions, asked to take over the issue for the Faculty Senate committee. Once Stamper took over theprogram sheformed a committee last spring whosegoal was to come up with a sufficient no-smoking policy for the entire campus. The com­ mittee consists of twelve members rang­ ing from students to faculty and staff. Also the committee contains both smok­ ers and non-smokers. The original goal of the Faculty Senate committee was to as­ semble a survey concerning possible smoking policies and from the results come up with an effective smoking policy. This fall the committee released a survey to a number of students through their mail boxes The committee hopes to receive the results and summarize the information by the end of the semester and present a formal policy to the Faculty Senate. How­ ever, the senate should not have to ap­ prove the resolution, since they already approved the forming of the committee. The Office of Student Development is also trying to gather information on pos­ sible no-smoking policies. It is currently conducting a telephone survey to around 100 to 400 students that deals with pos­ sible smoking policies.

When students were asked about the no-smoking policies there was a mixed reaction. Most students felt that as long as the resolutions stuck to administrative and academic buildings and not resi­ dence halls the issue should not present a problem. However, some students feel the issue is not important and that it would be an intrusion on their rights. Sopho­ more Toliver Beard,a non-smoker, claims "even through I don't smoke I feel that as students who pay tocome here, theyshould be able to smoke wherever they want."

Even here in Boone, people, mainly men, can be seen walking the streets carrying bags or nothing at all, in winter as well as summer. Where do these people go to sleep? More impor­ tantly, how did they end up in this situation? Over the summer, I visited Washington, D.C. ith members of the newspaper staff. I was unpre­ pared for the number of homeless people I saw. I had made previous visits to the city, the last one being my senior trip in high school, but did not - ecall seeing such sadness.

Qrtnhrr ?Q JQQ7 Halloween sparks traditions Hauntings around cam­ puses are common occurences (CPS)—Music students working late in the line arts building at Nebraska Wesleyan University have reported hear­ ing, in a vacant classroom, a piano softly playing and a woman's voice singing in the dark. Scary? They swear it is true. The legend of Clara Mills, a popular music teacher who taught at the school from 1912 until her sudden death in 1940, stays alive through the years, said Mary Smith, a professor of English who spends Halloween Eve telling ghost stories in student dormitories. "1 myself have never seen her," said Smith, who said she is the "keeper of the legend because she was on campus in 1963, when Clara was first seen. According to the professor, a campus secretary saw the image of a slender, ravenhaired women in a long-sleeVed white blouse and ankle-length skirt. The sighting was investigated by Gardner Murphy, president of the American University of Psychic Re­ search in 1964. Murphy claimed the sec­ retary had been transported back in time, and had experienced a genuine phenom- tors of the infamous Amityville honor house. While Rosary College, River Forest, 111., doesn't boast such glamorous ghosts, they do claim that the three-dimensional stonefaces at theentrance of the college's Gothic social hall were once inhabited by spirits. School legend is that the faces, now sanded blank, once possessed clear fea­ tures and would speak out, make noises, and, the eyes would follow passersby. To rid the campus of the spirits, says the legend, the school's nuns had a team of workmen sand off their features. Kerry Gaynor, a California hypnotist who has investigated 800 hauntings, said that a haunted building on a university campus rarely poses any dangers. "It (the ghost) may be up to something mischievous, but not dangerous. We are just frightened of something we don't understand," Gaynor said. "I have, how­ ever, suggested that people move if they are uncomfortable." "Ghost sightings" may be far a more complex experience than simply glimps­ ing an apparition floating in the air, ac­ cording to Edge, who says his philosophy is that of G.N.M. Tyrrell, author of "Ap­ paritions" and president of the Society for Psychic Research in London. It s a standard theory that hauntings are a result of telepathicaliy induced hal­ lucinations. They are hallucinations in the sense that they seem to perform in ways that we expect them to: they have clothes, they have canes, they have horses and carriages. 'There is something that we produce. If telepathicaliy induced, there is some­ thing. Maybe it's spirits. There is some residue that is picked up psychically, some information that is passed to us. For ex­ ample, you see hauntings about people you don't know, and you put them in the proper haunting (environment)," he said. Edge recalled organizing a hauntings investigation that entailed sending a Rollins student to spend the night in the gardens of an Orlando, Fla., art center, where a well-known apparition suppos­ edly makes his home. Years later, when the building where Clara had suffered a fatal heart attack was torn down, Smith and a "ragtag" group of devoted Clara Mills fans went to the site, held hands,sang, and asked Clara tomove to the fine arts building, where she alleg­ edly has resided ever since. Nebraska Wesleyan University, like many U.S. campuses, boasts a benign resident ghost, often a faculty member or student who died quickly and tragically. With Halloween just around the comer, a rash of sightings is to be expected, say experts in paranormal phenomena. Friendly campus apparitions such as Clara Mills usually have earned a certain affection from the student body, and whether making a Halloween appearance or not, generally don't terrorize students.

(CPS)—Troublesome ghosts on your campus? Dr. Donald Dossey, a Los An­ geles specialist on holiday origins, sug­ gests the following 2,000-year-old folk­ lore cures: CRACK ALL EGGSHELLS IN THE SCHOOL CAFETERIA. Yes, tiny witches use eggshells to ride through the air when they run out of brooms. Be sure and crack them very fine, Dossey re­ minds. HANG SOCKS WITH HOLES ON TREE. The tree should be right outside your window, and the socks should be hung very high. However, this practice might run off friends as well as spirits, Dossey said. RING BELLS. Bad spirits historically have been frightened of bells,said Dossey, who notes that goblins and witches are afraid of iron. Scholars believe that when the Saxons conquered the druids, they carried iron swords, which frightened the "little people." SPRINKLE SALT AROUND DORM ENTRANCES. A sure-fire way to keep the evil spirits away, said Dossey. BUILD A BONFIRE. Druids, wearing masks, would gather around a roaring fire to ward off the spirits of ornery relatives, Dossey said.

The Mountaineers had little success n the win-loss column, but played e very tough matches that will help in 'aring for the regular season in the Zack Sharpe defeated Jesse Lindsay of TennessecTcch 6-4,6-1 in the first round of the C-singles division. "For the most part, everybody played pretty well," said Kcmodle." 1 was a little disappointed in the first-round results." Appalachian Slate's David Rea, Manuel Zapata and Heath Marston, played well in the first round. All of these players took their matches to the third set and each time it was very close. Rea, the top seed for the Mountain­ eers, was defeated in the first round of the A-division 6-7, 6-1, 6-4 by Brendon Rose of Tennessee Tech. Zapata, who participated in the B-division, was de­ feated by Jim Lowery of Xavier 6-7, 63, 6-4. Marston lost his first-round match in the C-division 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 to Tom Svoboda of Cinncinati University. "I was disappointed in the performance of these guys," said Kemodle. "I just felt bad for them because they could not close their matches out." "I felt like Heath (Marston) played well," continued Kemodle. "David Rea played some very good matches as well. He definately played better than he did last year." The tournament marked the end of the fall schedule for the Mountaineers, a time that Kemodle uses to prepare for the spring. "I use the pre-season for three main purposes," said Kemodle," to take a look at the new players, it gives me the oppor­ tunity for more challenge matches so that I can put the most effective group of singles players in the lineup, and to put together the most effectivedoubles teams that I can." "I try to concentrate on strengths and weaknesses rather than wins and losses," said Kemodle. The Mountaineers will begin its regular season of matches in the spring starting Feb. 13 at the East Tennessee State University Winter Invitational.The schedule includes 22 tournaments and individual matches before the Southern Conference tournament begins on April 23. "This is the strongest schedule that we have ever had," said Kemodle. "I want to, more than anything else, beat The Cita­ del, Western Carolina and VMI. Those teams are on par with us as far as scholar­ ship money is concerned." "My goal for the spring season is to win those three dual matches and to prepare so that we can finish well in the confer­ ence tournament," said Kemodle. "We have a good opportunity to beat UTChatanooga and Davidson this year as well." To reach this goal the Mountaineers will be counting on a young team that is 1 relatively inexperienced. "Overall the team is playing better than it did last year," said Kemodle. "We have one sophomore and three freshmen that are getting better all of the time. I think that this will make us a much stronger team and I am excited about the spring season." The only other activity, besides prac­ tice and training, for the tennis team will be for David Rea. Rea will partici­ pate in the Regional Qualifier for the National Indoor tournament in Minne­ apolis, Minnesota. The qualifier will take place in Chapel Hill, N. C. If Rea advances, he will compete against the top players in the nation. • Appalachian club sports gear up By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor and STACY BRANCH Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian FhoCo by Randy Reinink •UJB SPORTS UNDERWAY: A number of the club sports at Appalachian State are underway. Both the club football and K«l's club soccer squads are expected to finish out with strong seasons this year, as well as a number of other squads who have The Division of Recreational Sports at Appalachian State oversees 14 different club sports, many of which are going strong at this point in the year. The club football squad is currently 32 on the year and will host their biggest home game on Oct. 31 when North Caro­ lina State meets the "Black Death" at 6 p.m. in Kidd Brewer Stadium.

It will be one of our biggest of the year," "Black Death" president Eric Mangum said. Mangum noted that the squad is "getting better and doing pretty well" and that the efforts of quarterback John McKey, running back Chris Wall ace, and Mike Greer, who plays both ways, are to be commended. The club football team will have its final home game against Duke on Nov. 15 at 2 pjn. before beginning post season playoffs. The women's club soccer team cur­ rently leads the Southern Women's Soc­ cer Association with a 4-1 record in the league. The squad is 4-4 on the year.

After six quarters of sluggish growth (but growth all the same) we now see our economy improving far past the gloomy predictions laid out by the national media.

A There's a flaw in ASU's recycling system: It's us For the first time since Appalachian began its recycling program over three and a half years ago, an entire load of recyclable materials was rejected because materials were not placed in the proper bins. Many ASU students, faculty and staff worked hard to get recycling on campus, but now because of the carelessness of a few, their efforts arc being wasted. Appalachian has made both time and monetary investments in the recycling program. ASU pays two dollars per recycling bin a month, or $212 total to rent the bins. The university also shells out $780 a month to have the materials picked up and carried down the mountain by GDS recycling. This all amounts to $960 dollars a month that is wasted when recycling is not done properly. Every bin located outside the residence halls is clearly labeled for one type of material. If you have trouble reading the labels, pictographs arc also on the bins. By P.W. C.LIDEWELL Special to the Appalachian Here arc four good reasons to vote for Bill Clinton and A! Gore. 1. The economy has been the center­ piece of the Clinton/Gore campaign. America must tax its citizens equitably, and the middle class has been bearing far too great a tax burden. The Clinton plan would give a tax break to the middle class while asking Americans who make over Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton )oCf\FFTEF.|A^ imomn FocaO Photo by Joe Burbank CCauKT" 1 , ^ + 1 Photo by Joe Burbank $200,000 a year to pay their fair share. This is not a tax increase. It is simply relieving the tremendous tax burden the. middle class has endured during the 1980's. Another important part of the Clinton/ Gore economic plan is to redefine government's relationship with the busi­ ness community. America must re-adopt its former philosophy, which the Japa­ nese and Germans have copied, and have government work in partnership with business. Government must ensure that Ameri­ can business does not suffer due to unfair trade policies, encourage business to in­ vest in itself, encourage research and de­ velopment, and reward businesses that care for their employees. All of this is accomplished through a National Eco­ nomic Strategy. 2: America's top priority must be the education of its citizens. Bush has had three and a half years in the White House and has failed to act. He tried to take away one million students' Pell Grants, low­ ered the amount of money available for scholarships, and has noconsensual ideas to reform our failing educational system. America invested trillions of dollars protecting ourselves during the cold war, now we must invest billions of dollars in ourselves to protect us from the global economic war. Every qualified student must be able to attend college. America cannot spend a tax dollar more wisely than to invest that dollar in our nation's youth. Education rescued Bill Clinton from a near-poverty background and a horrible home life, and will catapult him all the way to the pres idency of the United Stales. Bill Clinton understands the im­ portance of education. 3. We must protect our environment. Dan Quayle has worked to weaken envi­ ronmental laws; A1 Gore will work to enforce our existing legislation and guide new laws through Congress. Our envi­ ronment and our economy are not dia­ metrically opposed. What is good for our land, air and water is good for our coun­ try, including the business community. Environmental technology is a lucrative business investment, a job creator and the primary growth industry of the future. Protecting our environment is a sound investment both morally and economi­ cally. 4. Our health care system is failing. America invests more in its health care system than any other country on the planet. Wespend an incredible 14 percent of our entire GNP on health care alone, yet we have the worst health care system of the top ten industrialized nations. Sixtysix million of our fellow Americans, and one million of our fellow North Carolin­ ians do not have access to basic health insurance. It is unconscionable that Bush satin the White House for three and a half years and failed to act. Bill Clinton has a plan to ensure health Care to all Am en dims. In the long run, this will save both American families, and the nation as a whole. These are resources which we can invest in ourselves, rather than pour into a failed health care system. America must reinvest in itself, while reducing his debt. Most leading econo­ mists, the man who co-authored Ross Perot's book, and most of the American people, it seems, are in agreement that the Clinton/Gore plan will accomplish this goal. Our country is the most important nation on earth, and it is absolutely vital that we succeed. We must care for our people, invest in our economy, protect our environment and reduce the national debt. The Clinton plan reflects these pri­ orities. The Clinton/Gore campaign is more detailed and issue specific than any presidential campaign of the last fifty years. Please participate in your democracy. Take acareful look at Clinton/Gore, Bush/ Quayle and Perot/Stockdale. Consider a vote for Clinton/Gore. Our future will depend on it.

Perot: Send government back to the people Sound fiscal policy required; No more gridlock is needed in Washington I - f«.cyOable By CRAIG ROBERTSON Special to the Appalachian Is H. Ross Perot a viable candidate for President? Will he quit if things do not go his way? Can he lead our country as president? What specifically does he plan to do about the problems if he is elected? These are all questions we ask ourselves and others about Ross Perot. Ross Perot did not wade into the presi­ dential race with the intention of becom­ ing President. He only wanted to see that what was best for the American people as a whole got done. Perot certainly does not need the $200,000 salary. In fact, he has said he will not accept it ifelected. He has no special interest groups or national par­ ties to answer to when in office, only the millions of Americans who elect him. Is this not what government is supposed to be about? Ross Perot will eliminate gridlock be­ tween the president and Congress. If the president is working with Congress in­ stead of against it things will begin to happen in a positive way.

If a person mixes plastic bags in with the aluminum cans for example, the whole bin will be thrown out. Also, tinted glasses, such as Clearly Canadian drink bottles, arc not included with the clear glasses. Failure to follow these procedures is a waste of money and effort. When the first recycling bins were placed on campus, students began to question why plastic could not also be recycled. If people arc not respon­ sible enough to recycle correctly the few items we can , the university should not be expected to add more choices. In other words., if we're going to mess up what we've got, we're certainly not going to get more. Every bottle and can that is deposited in the bins docs not need to be perfectly clean; however, extra liquid should be dumped out, and trash, such as cigarette butts, should not be left in the containers.

If you don't plan to sort it out, then throw it out — don't waste the efforts of other, more concerned individuals. i \ » tion low, cut interest rales, and through budgets submitted to Congress, he's kept growth down to less than inflation. The recession we are now creeping out of, despite what Clinton/Gore say about it, is nowhere near as bad as the one President Jimmy Carter and ademocraticcontrolled Congress put us into during the late 70s and early 80s. Inflation, unem­ ployment and interest rates were up and soaring during the Carter administration. And, yet, all we hear about is the Clinton/ Gore crowd claiming that our economy is as bad now as any other lime in the last 50 years. The Carter years were dominated by democraticcharacteristics suchas gov­ ernment regulations, high taxes, pork bar­ rel spending, check bouncing and endless programs. President Bush has fought for a Bal­ anced Budget Amendment, vetoed tax increases, opened markets, dismantled trade barriers, negotiated free trade agree­ ments with Canada and Mexico, cut the trade deficit by 40 percent and created 1.8 million trade related jobs. Our president has also won mandatory sentences for drug traffickers and violent criminals, pushed a tough new anti-crime law, doubled federal prisons and tripled assis­ Clinton: We must re-invest in America Recyclable materials can not be combined into one bin. When people A experienced is the driving force behind the recent movement for change in America. Is change, for change's sake, the an­ swer to our country's problems? No, not when that change is higher taxes on the middle class to pay for more government spending. What our counterparts do not want voters to know is that we are tn a global recession, caused by a massive restructuring of the world's economy. I was loldrecently told that Gov. Clinton must be Jesus Christ and that Arkansas is the closest thing to heaven on earth. This man said "Clinton thinks he's a savior because he's performed miracles and he's done no wrong." The man who told me this was a democrat who is now going to vote for President Bush. It was under the leadership of President Bush that the cold war was won, enabling America to reduce the size of its military. His leadership helped America win Desert Storm, reduced the threat of nuclear war and encouraged democracy around the world. For the first time since its incep­ tion, the doomsday clock has been set backwards—thanks to the "peace through strength" policies of Presidents Bush and Reagan. President Bush has kept infla­ A lot of people argue that Congress will not change. Perot plans to fix this problem by eliminating incentives for congressmen not to change. Perot wants to: (1) restrict campaign contributions to $1,000, down from the present amount of $100,000(2) curb the number of political action committees, (3) limit campaign­ ing for election to a period of five months, (4) hold elections on Saturday and Sun­ day so working Americans can vote; (5) make voter registration easier and (6) eliminate the electoral college. Foreign lobbyists are being paid mil­ lions to help create our laws. Ross Perot wants to stop this and put our country's interests first. Perot's main goal will be to pay off the national debt, which is our biggest problem. If sometliing is not done to re­ duce it, our children and our children's children will be forced to pay on it until the problem is solved. Let's get the pain over with and fix our mistake, now. Under Ross Perot, we can pay it off in about five years. If that is too hard on the economy, he has said we can slow down the repayments. First we must balance the federal bud­ get. Can you go out and spend $100 when you only have $75? This is what our federal government has been doing. Ross Perot will save $108 billion over five years by requiring that federal de­ partments cut 15 percent from their dis­ cretionary budgets in two steps: "(1) cut­ ting specific programs which are obsolete or unnecessary and (2) making an acrossthe-board cut of 10 percent. Perot wants to enact the line-item veto to eliminate superfluous clauses in legis­ lation that only benefit special interest groups. Perot also wantsCongress tohave the opportunity to override by the usual two-thirds majority vote. Perot wants to cut unnecessary tax favors and subsidies. "Business expenses," farm subsidies, pro­ tective tariffs on sugar, lack of user's fees on many public services and tax favors for companies' private goals are all part Ross Perot WKBn A 'A #*9| t A yt jm '% J y Wf W• 9 f W A M • 0 'am um i 9k m Photo by Red Huber of a problem that when eliminated will save S50 billion over five years. Perot wants to cut defense spending. The defense department currently has access to some of the newest and finest technologies in the world. Perot wants to put that effort into modernizing and capi­ talizing our country rather than building the newest in smart bombs or attack subs. There are many highly trained and tal­ ented people in the military. Perot would like to see these men and women teaching in newly created inner city schools that have strict codes of discipline and honor. We should also stop subsidizing the rich. The rich have an exemption from taxes on employer-paid health care insur­ ance. This plan supports the rich and encourages high health care costs. Perot says all contributions over $335 for a family and $135 for an individual be taxed. This will saveus S72.9 billion over five years. In addition, raise the marginal tax rale on the wealthy from 31 percent to 33 percent. Only 4 percent of the taxpayers in the U.S. will be affected. This will raise $33 billion in five years. The biggest budget problem is the sky­ rocketing of entitlement costs. These in­ clude Social Security, government retireSee PEROT page 8 �The Appalachian. Thursday. October 29 1QQ?

Who has the strength, integrity, character, experience and courage of his convictions to lead America into the fu­ ture? Who do you trust to make the hard decisions? The man is President George Bush. At this all-so-important juncture in America's history, I urge you to examine the issues very closely, compare what the candidates have said and what they've done, then vote your conscious.

The com­ bined cost of Medicare and Medicaid has doubled in the last six years. These pro­ grams, which are very important to the survival of many people, will have to be discontinued if they continue to grow at the present rates. Those people who can pay a higher percentage of their own bills should. Medicare taxes stop at income levels of over $130,000 year. Perot wants to raise that cap. Secondly, Perot believes we should all (except the poor) share in the burden of Medicare and Meidcaid and pay premiums of 35 percent of our in­ come instead of the current amount of 25 percent. These two steps would raise $66 billion in five years. Retirees are taxed on 50 percent of their social security benefits of $25,000 for individuals or $32,000 joint. Perot wants to raise the amount of income sub­ ject to taxation to 85 percent. This would affect only 18 percent of retirees and raise $30 billion over five years. Perot wants to increase gasoline and tobacco taxes. The diseases related to tobacco arecosting us$20 billion per year in medical costs. Despite this fact, our government is still subsidizing tobacco cultivation with taxpayer money! The gasoline tax increase will be an additional ten cents per year for the next five years. We will still have the smallest gasoline tax of any other major country. This additional tax will raise $158 billion to create jobs by rebuilding our national highway system, building state-of-the-art transportation systems and acommunications network that will put us ahead in the twenty-first century.

Spangler of the Uni­ versity of North Carolina system com­ missioned the search committee in charge of finding a replacement for Chancellor John E. Thomas Saturday. Spangler called a meeting with the board of trustees to announce the members of the search committee and to outline the procedures for finding a new chancel­ lor. The committee consists of five boardof-trustees members: Thomas E. Chan­ dler, William K. Hobbs, Jr., Dr. Kenneth N. May, Marva L. McKinnon, and Ken­ neth Wilcox; five faculty members: Dr. Jane Nowacek of the LRE department. Dr. Peter Retschauer of the history de­ partment, Charles C. Speer from the ac­ counting department, Dr. Marianne S. Suggs of the art department, and Dr. Joan W. Walls in the psychology department; two alumni: Cindy Poe from Denver, N.C., and Tom Voss from Lewisville; an EPA administrative: Joseph Watts; one staff representative: Judy Ball; two stu­ dents: Dan Gurley, president of the stu­ dent government association, and Doug Duncan, vice president of SGA; and two committee staff: Larry Nance, executive secretary, and Susie Beasley, recording secretary. Thomas Chandler was elected chairman of the search com­ mittee. Spangler opened the meeting by saying the search committee will have "a very hard time picking someone as strong and with as much integrity as John." "This is a common-sense procedure with somerules,"Spangler told the search committee. The first part of finding a chancellor is picking a search committee. Now that the committee is chosen, the committee is given a meeting place with its own lock and key for confidentiality and "an ample budget" to pay for the expenses of interviewing possible candi­ dates, said Spangler. , Spangler suggested that the committee involves the students, staff, faculty, alumni and community as much as pos­ sible by setting up open meetings. The meetings would allow persons to voice their opinions on the future of the univer­ sity and what kind of person could help make that future a reality. The next step for the committee is advertising. Announcements of the chan­ cellor position will be placed in the Chronicle for Higher Education and other such periodicals. "The result, I suspect, would be 200, maybe more, names," said Spangler. When ChancellorThomas was appointed in 1979 the search committee received 252 applications. "We have a tremendous job ahead of us," said Chandler. "We want to pick and submit the very best candidate for this school." Once applications are received, the committee will narrow down the selec­ tion to 10 or 15 persons and then down to five applicants. Interviews with the last five candidates will be conducted by the search committee. Names of applicants will not be made public. Spangler stressed the discretion needed by the committee. Mostofthecommittee's meetings will be closed to the public. The See CHANCELLOR page 6 Fundraiser kick-off with $21 million goal of excellence, according to Thomas.

The debate focused on Republican and Democratic candidates and the two parties' platfroms. The panel of three college Democrats and three young Republicans also took questions from the audience. GRE test offered for first time on computer (CPS)- At first glance, less stress and taking the Graduate Record Examination appear to be mutually exclusive. Just be­ cause your academic future is on the line doesn't mean you have to be nervous about it, does it? Not so anymore, say Educational Test­ ing Service (ETS) officials and college administrators, due to the advent of the GRE general test that can be taken by computer. "I really liked it. It wasn't as ponderous as taking the paper-and-pencil version. I felt like I was going atmy own pace," said Rosalinda Lidh, a history major at Troy State University in Alabama. As of Oct. 12, students can schedule an appointment to take the test at Sylvan Learning Centers, with more than 100 test centers nationwide. The service is also being provided at some universities. One big advantage to taking the test on computer is that it will reduce the time involved in the testing process. The ex­ aminees also can get their scores immedi­ ately at the end of the test, instead of waiting weeks for the mailed report, and schools will get transcripts quicker. "The computerized test is more ori­ ented toward the individual, not the group," said Derek Walker, an electrical engineering major at Massachusetts In­ stitute of Technology who participated in an early field test. "Even the environment was better, more comfortable." The test can be administered in smaller groups in quiet offices that have soft light­ ing. Test-lakers won't be in a room with hundreds of other people. "For some people, taking the test on computer will release some tension," said Linda Trevarthen, coordinator of testing at Michigan State University. 'Taking it in an individualized setting will be better, and at MSU we can give efficient and quiet testing conditions." The computerized version of the GRE costs $90, double the cost of the paperand-pencil test, butCharlotte Kuh, execu­ tive director of the GRE, said ETS is trying to lower the price. For people who otherwise can't afford to take the test, fee waivers will beprovided for thecomputer test, just as they are for the paper test, she said. After students contact ETS to register, they will receive a voucher for the com­ puter test. They then will make an ap­ pointment at the Sylvan Center or the university center to take the lest. They will receive 30 minutes instruction on how to use the computer, and then take the test. At the end, the score will be available for those who want it; if they choose to sec it, the score is automatically recorded. The scores will be reported to institu­ tions within three weeks. Republican candidates speak Crime Reports Supporters have opportunity to speak out on Republican issues Staff member arrested By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Sommentarv response on debate 7 Voter Appreciation Day will be held Wednesday on Sanford Mall. Sponsored by the AppalachianCollege Republicans, the event will feature Republican candi­ dates speaking from 9 to 10:30 a.m. "This isa chance for Republican candi­ dates to have a voice on campus," said Phillip Mullis, president of the College Republicans. "This is also a chance for students to see the candidates." State and local candidates are sched­ uled to attend the forum. Lt. Governor Jim Gardner, candidate for governor; Art Pope, candidate for lieutenant governor; ASU graduate and candidate for labor commissioner. Nelson Dollar; Gene Wil­ son and Bill Hiat, candidates for N.C. House 40th district; Dennis Green candi­ date for clerk of court; Wanda Critcher Scott, candidate for register of deeds; and James Coffey and Jack Lawrence, candi­ dates for county commissioner, have confirmed their attendance at Voter Ap­ preciation Day. "I hope every student on campus will come," said Mullis. "It doesn't matter what party you are; everyone is invited. I hope they'll (students) have the chance to meet our next governor." Gardner is scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. Wednesday. Because of Gardner's tight schedule, the Lt. Governor will not be available during the entire event. Can­ didates for local offices will speak first. Although this is not scheduled as a question-and-answer session, candidates will answer questions from the audi­ ence. The College Republicans have re­ served Sanford Mall until noon in case speakers are delayed or go over their allotted time. The event will focus on positive as­ pects of the republican candidates, not negative points on the opposition, said Mullis. The College Republicans will have an information table set up at the event until noon. President Bush's elec­ tion plansand othercandidates'platforms will be available at the table. Also, coffee and douglinuts will be served during the event. Muftis described the event as yet an­ other chance for ASU students to prove they are not apathetic. Thecollege debate turnout was disappointing at 75 to 100 students, said Mullis. "Voter Apprecia­ tion Day is another chance for students to hear the candidates," added Mullis. The event is an alternative to candidate debates on campus. "We tried hard to set up debates," said Mullis. "We had six candidates agree to debate, but their coun­ terparts did not agree. This is the nextbest thing." The College Republicans set up a con­ tact table by the student union at the beginning of the week. "Il'suselesstoput signs up on campus," said Mullis, "be­ cause it'll just get torn down." The table's purpose is to provide information. "We're not there to debate," added Mullis. "It comes down to grass roots, young people," said Mullis. "We have the en ergy and the ability to get involved." Students can be a deciding factor for elections in WataugaCounty if a majority of the students are registered to vote. Mullis encourages students to"look at the issues, see how they square with your beliefs, and go vote. It's that easy." Compiled by SUZI LANDIS A staff member in the College of Busi ness was charged with larceny Thurs­ day. Appalachian police arrested the staff member for taking S20 from the College of Business. The subject was taken before a magistrate and released on bond that same day. Police have been investigating the subject for a month and suspect more money was taken over that period of time. The College of Business is working on a money figure suspected to have been taken by the staff member. A court appearance has been set for Nov. 24. Two fights were reported over the weekend. Saturday morning a male and a female student were physically fight­ ing outside of Cannon residence hall. The female assaulted the male but the male had not assaulted the female. Both persons were escorted to their residence at Snaggy Mountain Condos. Four male ASU students exchanged words and blows with a male Citadel student early Sunday morning in front of Winkler resi­ dence hall. The Citadel student thought the other subjects were barking at him. The fight had broken up before police arrived. TheofficersadvisedtheCitadel student to leave campus. Air rifles on campus are still a prob­ lem for police. A student reported being shot at by a air rifle near East, Friday. Saturday, a car was vandalized by an air rifle shot. The shot damaged a window in the automobile. Police arc investigat­ ing the incidents. In othernews, thedirector of the home management house requested police to ask a student illegally slaying at the house to leave and to get their key. A car was vandalized in Stansbury lot Satur­ day. An RA in Cannon reported a rock was thrown in and a window broken in Room 115, Tuesday. Police are still investigating the bi­ cycle thefts from a few weeks ago. Cap­ tain Foster stressed the importance of calling police if a student sees anything suspicious. A bicycle registration pro­ gram is being discussed by police, said Foster. Foster hopes to have some type of bike registration in effect as soon as possible. �ihe Appalachian. Tuesday.

Students must know what to do, know how to do it right and then do By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer Increased awareness of recycling pro­ cedures will be the first issue addressed by a newly formed environmental com­ mittee of the Student Government Asso­ ciation. The committee was promised as part of the Dan Gurley/Doug Duncan platform. The committee will be made up of five to seven senators andJim Rice, director of environment and safety, will head the committee. "The number one issue right no w is the contamination of glass recyclables," said Rice. Recently, approximately 4,000 pounds of glass were rejected for recy­ cling because colored glass was put in with clear glass. Rice said some of the main contaminators are theClearly Cana­ dian bottles, which are blue, and the light green Bacardi and Gallo bottles. "The ultimate worst case would be that the recycling company we use won't take our glass. There needs to be more aware­ ness," said Rice. Rice hopes the committee will combat the lack of awareness by holding some type of awareness event, such as a recy­ cling information fair. "I need the committee to help with Progressive Social Change: An essay contest open to all persons concerning the "Progressive Social Change in the 90's."

Gurley, student government president and Duncan, vice-president, included the environmental committee as part of their platform last year. "We thought it was something that needed to be brought up, not thrown to the wayside. We wanted everyone to have some kind of input through SGA," said Duncan. Rice will determine the agenda for the committee. This is not just a recycling committee and there are other issues that will be addressed, such as the physical plant and landscaping, Duncan said. The committee will have no more than seven members. There will be at least one offcampus member and one member from the student affairs committee of SGA. "We want a joint effort through a di­ verse committee. Our overall objective will be to make the campus community aware of the complexity of recycling," said Duncan. Last year, Appalachian recycled 155 tons of the 2,400 tons of waste put out by the university. Rice predicts that ASU will recycle over 200 tons in 1992. Appalachian recycles approximately five tons of paper per month, five tons of glass and just under a ton of aluminum.

It isn't miil we are able to speak to someone who ittended this school years ago that our are opened to Appalachian's culture eyes ,rid uniqueness. Elizabeth "Lib"Storie has made Appa­ lachian and the Boone community a big p^tof her life. She and her husband, Jim, attended ASU in the 1940's and have countless experiences to share. Storie and her husband worked on the Rhododendron as students. Jim was the editor while Lib was the associate editor. It was during this time that the Appala­ chian character "Yosef' was created in order to balance a page of freshman pic­ tures. According to Storie, Yosef was meant to "emphasize that all the freshmen itudents should embrace the loyalty and feeling for the 'Mountaineers;' somename should indicate that this 'student' repre­ sented them all." Storie was sorry to learn that Appala­ chian is no w doing away with the publica­ tion thatshe once worked with. However, she understands that the lack of funding makes losing the Rhododendron inevi­ table. "It's like losing a touch of nostal­ gia,' Storie said."Even though you might not know someone now, you can look back at them later if they ever became famous!" Two of Storic's most distinct memo­ ries of Appalachian are a result of Boone weather. The first is the flood that oc­ curred in 1940. Storie remembers how flooded the creeks and rivers were, and how it affected the town. Her father, who kept a fish pond, lost many of his fish as they washed away. The fish often ended up swimming in someone's flooded base­ ment. Storie also remembers the massive snowfall and freezing temperatures in 1942. The wind wasof"blizzard strength" and the snow reached to the second sto­ ries of the dorms. Storie walked to cam­ pus in the snow around the covered cars, blocked doors, and made her way over the deep snow drifts. She remembers wear­ ing ski pants that day to keep warm even though women were not allowed to wear pants at the time. The years that Storie attended Appala­ chian were during the"days of Dr. Dough­ erty." Dougherty believed in what Storie refers to as "separate but equal educa­ tion." He was careful to keep the genders apart, and didn't even allow men and women to sit together in the auditorium. Storie tells of one incident when, in be­ tween classes one day, she was sitting on the men's side of the auditorium reading The Appalachian. A student came in to tell her that she was wanted in the Dean's office. Not realizing that she had done anything wrong, Storie now laughs about being reprimanded forsitting on the wrong side of the room. Storie and her husband dated through­ out high school and college. They mar­ ried in the spring of their senior year at Appalachian. This was during the timeof World War II and Jim Storie was in the See PERSONAL page 6 AppalachianVhaioby Karla Smith STORIE REFLECTS: Elizabeth Storiehas noticedmany changes around campus since she attended ASU.

She met her would-be husband while working on the yearbook staff, and they were the masterminds behind the characters we all know as Yosef. Opossum makes himself at home in student's apartment By RICKY WELBORN Appalachian Staff Writer Upon returning to my apartment after Fall Break, to my amazement, I discov­ ered that my apartment had been reno­ vated and remodeled while I was gone. The carpel was torn up, mud was smeared on the window, my desk supplies had been pushed off onto the floor, and a German club elebrates ceiling panel was on the floor. In my bedroom, my stereo and speakers were on the floor, along with books, cassette tapes, folders, and files. Later on, I noticed a smell in my closet. I looked behind the water heater and saw a dead opossum on the floor, wedged between the water heater and the wall. I called apartment management and asked them to remove the furry critter. They brought a pole with a large hook on the end of it. They were not able to pull the opossum out on the hook because it was too big. A hose was then attached to the water heater and stretched oqtside into the yard to drain out all of the water. The pipes were unhooked and the water heater was pulled out. Believe me, I was glad to get rid of such a nuisance. It turns out that the sneaky opossum apparently was able to climb in through the air vent outside of the storage room. V*Lwm On Oct. 6,1992, ASU's German Club and Appalachian State's student body gathered together on Sanford Mall to celtbrate die annual anniversary of German/ American Day. This celebration honors those Ameriis originally bom in Germany or with ian ancestry and their three-hundred history ofcoexistence with the United itates.

The new American release, AMERI­ CANA. brings this semi-subversive strat­ egy stateside for the first time. The title itself is a nice enigma - this band is either unbelievably optimistic or unbelievably sarcastic (I hope and suspect the latter). Traditionally "American" musical forms - the rock., soul and jazz influences they mention are superficially absent, or they are mixed in so thoroughly that the con­ nections are difficult to clearly make but. Two things must be said regarding the content - this is a compilation of older British material, so the stylesjump around a good bit. Some of their more accommo­ dating (i.e. catchy) singles can be found scattered throughout - the first two cuts ("A Love From Outer Space" and "Snow Joke") settle comfortably into a familiar techno-lite groove. attempts by the opossum to get out. This was not your ordinary opossum. This was a very picky opossum. Regard­ ing my bookshelves, the opossum had avoided everything on the bottom and middle shelves, but somehow knocked everything off of the top shelf. I also had a stack of three crates. The opossum paid no attention to the bottom and top crates, yet pulled everything out of the middle crate. I found out that a couple days later another friendly opossum paid a visit to a girl a couple doors down from me. While she was sleeping in her bed, the opossum dropped through the ceiling and landed on her desk. She then called the cops who hauled the opossum out of the apartment. Apartment management now calls me the opossum man for my efforts in trying to control the current crime wave of opos­ sum break-ins. Vegetarianism gains popularity 1 : 7 Special to the Appalachian \ BY DAVID ALSTON The sly devil then climbed up and got on top of the ceiling tiles above my apart­ ment. One of the tiles was unable to support the opossum's weight, so the opos­ sum fell through and went to town. He decided to make himself at home and searched the apartment for food. (Luck­ ily, I decided to take my parakeet home at the last minute rather than to leave it over break.) The scratch marks on the window and the torn up carpet had been vicious Beginning with track three,"Baby Milk Snatcher" (Freud would lapse intoreverie here), AMERICANA begins to fragment and decelerate towards alien terrain - ex­ treme and menacing silences begin to stretch but occasionally interrupted by fleeting bass rumbles, quick shrieks of feedback and bottomless vocal echoes. Scattered breathing room is provided by the 'lighter' tunes here "In A Circle," "Miles Apart," and "Crack Up," fort ex­ ample. But the general mood maintains maximum menace potential from track three to the end. The best examples - "Long Body" and "Up" - sit about halfway into AMERI­ CANA. Here A R Kane shows off both its penchant for sonic intimidation, and deep understanding of how space and symme­ try can make the weird turn spooky. A R Kane has often been compared to earlyseventies Miles Davis, early PiL, My Bloody Valentine, and Jesus and Mary Chain - among others - and these under­ standings are the link. The music here See A R KANE page 6 (CPS)—So long. Big Macs and Dries. Hello veggie burgers, tofu and bean curd. A small but growingnumber of college students, some raised in traditional meat and-potatoes homes, are banishing steak from their plates and joining the new vegetarian minority. This shift within the pepperoni pizza generation hascaught parents, professors and college cafeteria managers by sur­ prise. College vegetarians, however, insist their radical eating habits are a matter of compassion, ecological awareness, and just plain common sense. Besides, they are quick to point out, they are in good company. They're fol­ lowing vegetarians like Albert Einstein, Socrates, Gandhi, Leonardo da Vinci, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bob Dylan, not to mention Candice Bergen and Paul Newman. Other students, in defense of their "green" lifestyle, quote vegetarian-guru Jeremy Rifkin's new book, "Beyond Beef," which charges that cattle are fed one third of the grain produced on the planet which, if given to humans, would feed 1 billion people. "I think vegetarianism is a sortof natu­ ral evolution to a healthier diet. The Ameri­ can diet is not the diet for optimal health," said Sally Clinton, director of the Veg­ etarian Education Network and coordina­ tor for a vegetarian newsletter for young adults. Clinton notes the average American eats less than 3.5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, while vegetarians, to the delight of nutritionists, can put away 1Oor more servings at three meals. The NationalCancer Institutehas raised the number of recommended daily por­ tions of fruits and vegetables to five. "You have to combine education with the introduction of vegetarian meals to the cafeteria," said Clinton. An estimated 8 million to 12 million Americans are vegetarians, for reasons varying from health to religion. Since the National Cancer Institute began its recent campaign touting fruits and vegetables as weapons against cancer, that number is expected to grow. Clinton noted that though no one is certain how many college-age vegetar­ ians there are, the ranks are growing daily. Most young people become vegetarians for ecological reasons, she said. "Very few do it for reasons of health," she said. "They are too young, really, to be overly concerned with health." According to researchers in a recent issue of the Journal of Food Products Marketing, "the most recognizable pat­ tern in food consumption behavior in the last 20 years has been the shift away from animal products." College vegetarians come in several packages. For example, those who call them­ selves vegetariansmost likelydo notconsume meat, fish or fowl. An ovo-lacto vegetarian is one who gives the greenlight to dairy products and eggs; a lacto vegetarian is one who consumes dairy products but shuns eggs; and an ovo veg­ etarian shuns dairy products but keepts eggs on the grocery fist. A vegan, however, is a purist and eats absolutely nomeat, fish, fowl, dairy prod­ ucts or eggs. Lin said heT family requested that she speak to her family physician about heT "strange" eating habits.She found he was as skeptical as her parents. "He was asking me a lot of questions. I could tell he did not understand it," she said. "He and my parents were just not upto-date." Lin brought her own lunch while she was a Baltimore high school student. The cafeteria at the University of Maryland, however, ismuch more awareof the needs of vegetarians than her high school caf­ eteria and serves a hot vegetable entree daily. "Now my mom cooks tofu," said Lin proudly, adding that her entire family, while not becoming strict vegetarians, have cut their meat intake drastically and have realized one can be healthy and be a vegetarian. It is very important that the college vegetarian eat a balanced diet, says Vir­ ginia Messina, a nutritionist who writes a column for "How on Earth!"—a national newsletter for young adult vege tarians. "Bas$ your diet on whole grains, and eat at least eight servings of these foods every day. They include bread, pasta, rice, cereal and other grains," she said. "Include five servings of dried beans, peas, lentils and any product made from soy, plenty of nuts or nut butter, and lots of fruits and vegetables," said Messina, who notes that college men generally need a great deal more food than college women. Young vegetarians are encouraged to drink plenty of orange juice, as the vita­ min C will help their bodies absorb iron.

The Mountaineers will travel to the liversity of Tennessee at Chattanooga on Oct. 31 for a 7 p.m. contest. Jim Richter's 42-yard field goal with our seconds remaining barely made its vay through the uprights, but was enough o lift Furman to a 16-13 Southern Con;rence victory over Appalachian Stale n Saturday at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineers saw their hopes for :peating as SC champions all but dtsapear when a 15-yard personal foul penIty gave the Paladins new life on the ame-winning drive. With a little more than three minutes tmaining Furman failed to convert on a tird-and eight from their own 34-yard ne. The Mountaineers, instead of getting te ball back for a chance to win, were ailed for the penalty that could have leant the entire season. "We'll be playing for pride the rest of he season," said ASU head coach Jerry tloore. "I don't think that we'd be picked for the I-AA play-offs) even if we win he rest. Maybe if we finished second in the conference, but we've got a lot of teams ahead of us right now." The Mountaineers, after having gone to the air in its last two wins, stayed mainly on the ground for 193 yards rush­ ing. J.K. Reaves and Chip Hooks com­ bined for 174 yards on 26 carries. DJ. Campbell threw for 124 yards while hitting on nine of 16 passing at­ tempts. The Mountaineer offense as a whole racked up 314 total yards to Furman's 334. The placekickers for both squadsdomi­ nated the scoring throughout the contest. ASU's Jay Millson connected on two field goals including a 47-yarder with five minutes remaining in the second quar­ ter to give the Mountaineers a 6-3 halftime advantage. M illson missed two field goals however, both times after Appala­ chian had moved the ball well into Pala din territory. Rilcher, a freshman that was supposed to have been redshirted this season, came in and made the difference for Furman by connecting on all three of his field goal attempts. Ritcher kept the Paladins close by trad­ ing field goals with Millson including a 45-yarder to tie the game late in the third quarter. The youngster was then called on for the game winner and was equal to the challenge from 42-yards out. "I wasn't nervous," said Ritcher. "I knew we had to win this game and I really wanted to do it for the team." Ritcher is now three for three in his college career. The only touchdowns in the game came in the fourth quarter. The Paladins took the lead for the first time when Carl Tremble scored from four yards out for a 13-6 adv ant age. Tremble finished the day with 188 yards on 26 carries to lead all rushers. The Mountaineers answered with a score of its own via a 15-yard scoring jaunt by J.K. Reaves to cap a 10 play, 61yard drive with just over three minutes remaining. Appalachian State punter Harold Alexander did not see much action on Saturday, but he make good of every opportunity. Alexanderkicked three times for 145 yards including a 62 yard boot. He finished the day with a 48.3 yard-perpunt average. The Mountaineer defense also played well despite the loss.Six players recorded quarterback sacks including Rico Mack. Sean Swoope, Avery Hall, Stever Patterson, Matt Stevens, and Vinson Fraley. The loss drops the Mountaineers to 34 overall and 2-2 in the SC. It also makes the Southern Conference championship and a play-off berth a vague possibility for the Mountaineers. They still face league opponents UT-Chattanooga, Marshall, and Western Carolina starting next week at UT-C. Thenexthomegame for the Mountain eers will be on Nov. 14 when they play host to the Aggies of North Carolina A&T. Around the Southern Conference: Marshall remains in first place hundering Herd quarterback Michael Payton breaks league pass-completion record as Marshall wins 52-23 over UTC Moccasins UMMUS3 'STACYBRANCH palachian Staff Writer In the eighth week of football in the outhern Conference, Marshall's Thun- dering Herd held on to first plade in the league as quarterback Michael Payton broke a league record in pass-comple­ tions as he completed his 522nd career pass to break a SC record established by former Marshall quarterback Carl Fodor in 1985 as his squad ran past the Mocca­ sins of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Chattanooga. Marshall improved to 4-0 in the SC and 6-1 overall as they capitalized on six first half touchdowns to rally past the Mocs, 52-23. Payton completed 13 of 21 passes for 191 yards in the opening half as his squad held the Mocs to 48 total yards to the Herd's 270 in the period. UTC got their first score in the third quarter when Marshall had already replaced a number of their starters withreserveplayers. The loss dropped the Mocs to a seventh place 0-3 in the league and 2-5 overall. The Citadel remained in second place in the league as they travelled to Cullowhee, taking advantage of Cata­ mount turnovers to defeat Western Caro­ lina, 36-31. The Bulldogs were led by fullback Everctte Sands who rushed 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns. The win improved The Citadel to 4-1 in the conference and 7-1 overall while Western Carolina fell to 2-1 in theSC and 4-3 overall for a third place tie with Furman. Catamount tailback Kevin Thigpen was the Catamount's leader on the day with 22 rushes for 116 yards and one score. Furman improved to 2-1 in the league placekicker Jim Richter kicked the game winning field goal to lead the Paladins past Appalachian State, 16-13, with sec­ onds remaining in the game. The win kept playoff hopes alive for Furman but virtually destroyed them for the Moun­ taineers who fell to a fifth place 2-2 in the conference and 3-4 overall. East Tennessee State, who was idle, remains in sixth place in the conference with a 1-2 record and a 4-3 mark overall. the conference at 0-5, fell lo 1 -7 overall as Richmond defeated the Keydets, 41 -18 in the 46th annual Oyster Bowl in Norfolk. R ichmond, ranked 11th in the Division 1 AA polls, scored 21 points in the third quarter to down VMI. The ninth week of football in the con­ ference will feature Appalachian State at the University of Tennessee at C'hitttanooga, Furman at East Tennessee State, and Marshall at Western Carolina.

The win improved the auntaineers to 7-8-1 on the season, inIjling a 2-3-1 mark in the league. e Apps and Keydets played a score S ^lrs' half, but the two teams erupted atisively during a fifteen- minute stretch °Pen the second period that saw the ® ^uads combine for five goals. PPalachian's DavidTerry opened the spree three minutes into the half goal off an assist from Jason Bs'ng The goal wasTerry's 11th of the "son. a h^t two minutes later, freshman Jason ^cored the first goal of his collegiate career when he took a pass from Terry off a corner kick and ripped a shot into the upper right corner of the net for a 2-0 Appalachian lead. "The two goals we scored early in the half were important for us," Terry said. "We really were much more aggressive offensively in the second half, and those two quick goals helped our confidence a lot." Four minutes later. Nesbitt added what proved to be the game winner when his free kick from 40 yards out bounced over VMI goalie Tom Morris' head and into the net for a 3-goal lead. Nesbitt later added the fourth Moun­ taineer goal of the game and the second hal f when he took a pass from Tcrry in the top of the box, dribbled around Morris and found the net. Nesbitt, a sophomore sweeper from Trinidad, was an All-Southern Confer­ ence selection last season as a freshman. The goals were the first career scores for the second-year back. Meanwhile, Terry, a senior from Owensboro, Ky., addedanother milestone to his Appalachian career against VMI when he moved into third place on the alltime Mountaineer point listwith 92. Terry, a two-time All-SC pick, is also third in career goals at ASU with 38. This season, Terry leads Appalachian with 11 goals, seven assists and 29 total points. The Keydets manged to make it inter­ esting with two second half goals, the last coming with under 15 minutes to play. From there, the Mountaineerdefense tight­ ened and VMI was unable to get any further shots on goal. The contest was the last regular season conference fray for Appalachian this sea­ son.

Georgia Southern and Marshall this past week. \ The Lady Mountaineers, behind the hitting of Rachel Wade,defeated Marshall 15-9,9-15,15-5,11-15,15-11 inamatch for which head coach Dave Markland voiced some concern. "We were a little sluggish coming off of our third match this week," said Markland. "We had trouble putting it away from the outside." Wade had little trouble putting the ball away as she did 18 times with only three errors for a hitting percentage of .536. "Rachel had a good game from the right side," said Markland. App State fought hard in the fifth and deciding game, something Markland is very proud of. "We did a good job in the rally score game (SC rule where the team does not have to serve to score)," said Markland. "We did what we needed to do to win." Jo Myers also played well from the setting position. Myers finished the Marshall match with a total of 53 sets. Myers, Wade and Sheri Leverette also came up for the Lady Mountaineers dcfensively with eight digs apiece. The Apps started their three-game win­ ning streak back on Oct. 21 with a win over Davidson 15-5,14-16,15-9 and 1614. "Davidson is young," said Markland. "They are not a blocking power and we put the ball away well." The Lady Mountaineers relied on se­ nior Kim Nelson for most of their offen­ sive firepower. Nelson finished the con­ test with 25 kills and a hitting percentage of .438. Nelson also helped out defen­ sively with 10 digs. "Kim Nelson had a tremendous match," said Markland of his outside hitter. Wade finished this contest with 10 kills followed by Deanna Keen and Sandra Love who finished with nine kills each. The Appalachian squad then hosted conference foe Georgia Southern on Oct. 23 and cameaway with another victory 15-7, 15-11 and 15-13. This time the offense was distributed evenly among the Lady Mountaineers. Sheri Leverette and Sandra Love finished with nine each followed by Nelson with seven. Amy Kolomechuk and Deanna Keen posted four kills apiece and Hollcy Shamburger and Wade had three. Miriam Sealey finished with two kills for the. contest. Jo Myers again led the Apps with 28 of the team's 33 sets. Markland is very pleased with the way his team has performed thus far in the season and realiz.es that his team is on task in reaching its goal of the Southern Con­ ference championship. See LADY page 6 �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 27. 1992 A R Kane Chancellor Continued from page 1 committee members were told not to dis­ cuss the names of candidates or the progress of the procedures. Spangler explained that the candidates must be protected with confidentiality because the candidate's university and board of trustees might not be aware of the appli­ cation made. The search committee will keep the board of trustees informed on general progress. The last steps to the process of finding a chancellor are submitting two qualified persons to the board of trustees for ap­ proval to submit to Spangler. The two applicants will interview with Spangler to "get at the essence of why the person wants to be chancellor." Spangler then recommends one name to the Board of Governors for approval. The board usually stands by thepresident' s choice. "It's an exciting process," said Spangler. This entire process is not limited by a timetable. "Deliverthebestpersonwhenever you get to that point," Spangler told the committee. "The purpose is to get the best chancellor, not to do it by a certain date." Spangler did say he would like to have a name by April. An April date would give enough time to have the leadership of chancellor by the time students come back in August. Before the meeting adjourned, Gurley expressed his concerns of the lack of student representation on the search committee. Gurley had suggested three student members, but said he would have been happy with two members. Gurley said he was "disappointed and disillusioned" and felt some students would be angry because of the lack of student involvement in the process. As a result of his appeal, another stu­ dent, Doug Duncan, was named to the committee. Chandler, who is chairman of the board of trustees, was responsible for forming a search committee. Chandler asked the Student Government Association to submit a list of ten possible faculty members for the commit­ tee. Three of the names were chosen by Chandler.

"The kindsof things Appalachian does, we're finding out, are the kinds of things donors are interested in," Lawson said. Boone Mayor Velma Burnley, said the town supported Appalachian in its efforts toward the campaign. "Boone is the kindof town where people love to come to and stay and live in because of the presence of Appalachian State University," Burnley said.

As technical difficulties uttered the two opening explosions, an acute sense of foreshadowing was felt where I sat anticipating an evening of political warfare. There wereno guns fired between the panelists, and no erator, and each party spoke when called on to ask or address aquestioa I was not impressed, however, with the unnecessary name calling, character bashing and ridiculous rambling on irrelevant issues that was dis­ played by almost every participant. The first round of the debate was professionally con­ ducted by Dr. Morgan as he asked a series of six ques­ tions and allowed both the Republicans and Democrats to respond. The questions focused on issues such as our nation's economy, health care,education, foreign policy, civil rights and the environment. These issues were addressed byeach party with dignity. The threepanelists on either side were each given the opportunity to speak, and each of the young men and woman did so with educated responses. Round two of ASU's Republican/Democratic debate was characterized by a little less control and less con­ structive material as the panelists were allowed to ask questions of their opponents. In this segment, the ques­ tion of character seeped in. Bush was referred to as a "flip-flop," and Clinton was labeled, once again, a "waffler." Facts about the economic status of the United States and Arkansas were venomently used to personally degrade the presidential candidates. And past experi­ ences of Bush and Clinton supposedly gave panelists the right to declare Bush a liar, and Clinton a wimp. "halk one up for the students. When the Chancellor Search Committee was one hurled hand grenades or knives during the course of mally announced on Saturday, only one student was appointed to the the evening. But the sharp, unrestrained and all-together nmittee.

The Oct. 21 debate all. in Farthing Auditorium WAS NOT a rally. It was not A Vice President Doug Duncan. Now, I'm not ignoring the fact that the debate fol­ designed for the Republican and Democratic parties Tic Chancellor Search Committee narrows down the number of applicants lowed a strict format regarding who would ask questions (those members on the stage and in the audience) to the position of chancellor to two or three qualified candidates and sends the and who would respond. Dr. Patrick Morgan, of the project their shallow opinions regarding the opposing ommendations to the ASU Board of Trustees. The board then votes to send Political Science Dept., did a commendable job as mod­ candidates. The debate was to be a time for informing the names to the president of the university system, who makes the final tction for the new ASU chancellor. V university chancellor sets the agenda and pace for the future of the versity. Appalachian is no exception. When Chancellor John Thomas ked up the reins 13 years ago, he steered the university down a trail of growth The. fees>den-Viol expansion that the Dougherty brothers could have only imagined, palachian has grown from a small, predominantly teachers' college to a as tionally acclaimed university with five different colleges. The fourth ASU fcnce//or could maintain this growth with an emphasis on small classes and o t jfclilied professors, or could change the direction to a research- oriented ^ ancVuer-ViAnn titution. Students should have a strong voice in what happens to the future Appalachian. md-o HeV.zarre)! \ university exists for the benefit of the students. Students choose to attend U knowing the atmosphere of the campus and direction the university is ing. When you change leaders, you need to consider the fact that you may nge direction. No one is better at determining what students want than dents themselves. There are no substitutes for student input, lurley was correct in requesting that the chairman of the Search Committee onsider his appointments to the committee. The original committee inded five faculty, five board of trustee members, one staff, two alumni, one inistrator and one student. One student can not possibly represent the ies of over 11,000 other Appalachian students. 'ith the addition of one student to the committee, students have at least an ible voice. An institution designed for students should include students in important decision. There may not be a decision as important to ASU as selection of Appalachian's new chancellor for many more years. undecided and confirming the decisions of the decided with facts, just facts. The last segment of the evening brought the audience out of their seats. In round three of the debate, the members of the audience were allowed to step up to the microphone to direct questions toward a particular party. The before mentioned firee-for-all occurred during the third segment. Questions on social issues such as abor­ tion and homosexuality leaped out of the audience, only to be regurgitated along with a great deal of nonsense by the panelists. The discussion evolved into an irrelevant, no-win moral battle over right and wrong on which neither party had any business wasting so much time. Thank goodness there were those who asked about the deficit and free trade, which generated semi-worthwhile responses from both sides. But by this time in the debate, the panelists were obviously tired, annoyed, shaken and lacking in composure. Few relevant, fact-filled remarks were made without some sort of sarcastic jab to the opponent. The conduct of the audience left something to be desired as well. Insteadof asking questions, afew people took advantage of their position at the microphone to interject their own personal feelings about one candidate or another. Dr. Morgan attempted, with little success at times, to call for order, only to be accused of censoring and squelching the audience's First Amendment right to speak out. The debate began at 7 p.m. and ended at approxi­ mately 10 p.m. I'd say that the amount of truly relevant material could have been, and should have been pre­ sented in half of that time. I'd like to congratulate the six panelists for their performance on the evening of Oct. 21. Each participant will make a fine politician.

"Hey, what school do you attend?" "I go to Hardee's State University; whoops, I meant to say Appalachian State University." What is this guy talking about, you may ask yourself? I am talking about the ASU souvenir cup most of us purchase at the football games. The cup this year has a very attractive ASU logo, but who can see it? I counted the number of panels on the cup; they totalled 16. The ASU logo takes up five of those panels, while the Hardee's advertisement takes up nine. I am well aware that advertisers pay a great deal to use their name in conjunc­ tion with our colleges and universities, but when do we draw the line? I want an Appalachian cup, not a "$.49 soft drink with any purchase at Hardee's" cup. Isn't it a bit much when the advertiser receives over half the available space while the university receives barely more than a quarter of the space? What happened to the design we had last year? Hardee's had about one square inch of space and our university dominated the remainder of the cup. We have obviously undergone a change at this school without prior notification. We are no longer Appalachian State University; our name has been changed to Hardee's State University. And by the way, please observe your schedule changes. You no longer have English 1000; it has been changed to "Theory and Practice of Industrial Burger Flipping." Gregory Roush ASU Box 16329 Vm sick and tired of the debate game To the Editor; I left the Wednesday Student debate early, fearing that I would become physically ill if I continued to listen to the children playing politician. Here are some issues from that and the other debates that I would personally like to address. The candidate's military service (or lack there of): George Bush fought in World War II, a war which the USA entered after being attacked by the Japanese Empire. Congress, nearly unanimously, declared full scale war, which was the will of the people and rationale for the country. Bill Clinton successfully avoided the draft for the Vietnam War, a "war" that Congress itself was divided on and never declared. The United States had no clear reason to be involved and the issue ripped apart this country, as is still evident in this election. Following the mindless orders of the government is easy; believing in a higher good and seeking to follow that call despite persecution is a sign of courage and conviction. The comparison of the two candidates' military service is meaning­ less drivel. The military is an important part of this country. Far too important. In the student party debate the Young Republicans made a statement to the effect of "Bill Clinton wishes to reduce our military to a point lower than it was on the onset of World War IT." I thought this was a good idea. Unfathomably, they obviously meant this comment negatively. The Japanese military is not attacking us. They don't need to; we (led by Reagan and Bush) are voluntarily selling the country to them business by business, tree by tree. Germany is reunified. They will soon become a superpower, an economic superpower. The Soviet Union went bankrupt before we did. (The cold war was a war of attrition. We did not win.) Russia is no longer a military threat. True, there are still many Soviet ICBM's around, which poses a possible threat. Let's say some of them are launched. Are soldiers in million dollar tanks and planes going to try and catch them? If we want those missiles safe, perhaps we should help the republics (the Baltic states) which possess these missiles in return for their destruction. The idea of our obese military is laughable. There is simply no one left to fight. I agree with Clinton. It's time for the late, great Unites States military to go on a diet before the rest of the country starves to death. On religion: If Jesus Christ was running for president (however unlikely), 1 would vote for him. However neither he, nor the fundamentalist's view of him (which has scant little to do with the Bible) are running, so please shut up. Jesus was a pacifist. Don't believe me? Do you remember scripture saying anything about loving youT neighbor as yourself or turning the otheT cheek? How about "Thou shalt not kill?" Jesus surely could have militarially defeated the Roman Empire; however, he chose the path of peaceful resistance. If you truly follow the teachings of Jesus, you can not support any military action. Jesus believed in the equality of all people under one ruler (God). Jesus was a communist. Go ahead and look it up, I think you'll find the definition quite clear. I do not wish to religiously step on anyone's toes, but I've been called a heathen one loo many times. So just keep it out of the election. I am tired of the fundamentalists giving Jesus a bad name. I am a follower of his teachings and bitterly resent George Bush, a fascist warmonger, hiding behind Jesus Christ. C. Vardell Smyth ASU Box 12260 �a.

"Critics: Criminal cases don't belong in honor curls" in the Observer's Oct. 19 edition id it is customary for many state uni iersities to hear cases that involve crimital charges. The issues include whether student ourts are qualified to hear criminal same protections in the honor court as he does under the law." said Don Castleman, a professor at Wake Forest University Law School, in the Observer article. If not, then that honor council runs completely contrary to the U.S.Constitu­ tion. If they are expelling people without due process protections, it's absurd." Castle argues in the "Critics" article that judicial courts do not meet the rights of the accused. University courts or judi­ cial boards usually do not allow profes­ sional lawyers to represent the people charged and certain legal standards, such as the rape shield law, are not part of student judicial systems. Other critics say college students do not have the knowl­ Appalachian s judicial board does have the authority to hear cases of felonies. Under Article IV of the ASU Code of Student Conduct sexual assault, drug- students and second time offenders are usually referred to the university board, while thestudent board hears undergradu­ ate cases. "Both boards are qualified to hear cases," said Lee McCaskey, director of Student Judicial Affairs. "They' ve proven that they've qualified by doing a good job in the past." McCaskey feels some cases could be too severe and complex for the boards Sixty-five percent of the cases heard by the judicial board deal with alcohol-re­ lated violations. Ninety-percent of judi­ cial referrals come from residence hall violations including underage alcohol possession, illegal possession of a con­ trolled substance, and disruption in resi­ dence halls. Defenders of campus judicial systems say universities have a right to expect appropiale behavior from students. If those expectations are violated then a judicial court has the right to hear the case. Also, university judicial systems give victims an accessible outlet com­ pared to the overcrowded court system. From evaluations sent to students who have been in front of the ASU judicial boards, students are salisified with the system, said McCaskey. McCaskey also pointed out that in the case of sexual assaults and rapes, the victim also has the choice to file criminal charges in a state or federal court. Also, persons found in violation of a felony from the judicial board can appeal their cases to the vice chancellor of stu­ dent development. AppalCART sets record ridership ..WUKTINI APIAMO y KRISTIN LACIANO ppalachian Staff Writer ThcAppalCART, which began in Januy of 1980 and stands for Appalachian ampus Area Rapid Transit, reported a 4 percent increase in ridership for the lonth of September compared to Sepmberofl991. "What is so gratifying xiut this was tliat lastSeptember's riderlip had set an all-time high for the month : 39,944 passenger trips," said Chris urner, director of AppalCART. "This sar ridership set another all-time high If the month of September with 49,566 assenger trips recorded." Much of the increase is due to the datively new Blue route which contribled 11,407 passenger trips. The Blue lute was started two years ago as a result fthc Downtown Boone Parking Survey. Umcr said when the College of B usiness pened, there was not enough parking for udents. The students ended up parking ii King Street which left little space for e businesses there. The Blue route was created to alleviate the congestion from King Street. The congestion from King route runs every fifteen minutes from the traffic circle in front of the College of Business to the parking lots along Bodenheimer Drive which go to the Broyhill Center. Appalachian students are not the only people who use the AppalCART. The AppalCART has contracts with compa­ nies in Boone to carry passengers explainedTurner. The Project on Aging,for example, uses the AppalCART to cany senior citizens to the Senior Center in Boone. The AppalCART also takes them "to the grocery store to do their shopping or to medical appointments," said Turner. These demand response routes, which are mostly rurally, recorded 2,450 passenger trips for the month of September. The county also uses the AppalCART for the elementary schools. The AppalCART shuttles athletic teams to practices and games from the eight Watauga County elementary schools. "Some of the schoolscombine their teams to form one team,"said Turner, "and they need the AppalCART to get the kids from one school to another." The after school transportation route reported 2,213 passenger trips last month. As of October 5, AppalCART ceased tobeaBlueRidgeTrailwaysagent. Turner said that the AppalCART used to be able to sell tickets for the bus company, but recently Trailways established a new rule stating that passengers can only get tickets at Trailways bus stations. The closest sta­ tion to Boone is in Asheville. The dis­ tance made buying tickets too inconve­ nient for people so the AppalCARTstarted losing business. AppalCART also had a contract with Trailways to provide service to Lcnior. Passenger trips have been declining on that route, and it was no longer profit­ able to run it. "We had an agreement with Trailways that we would only run the route if we could at least break even," said Turner. The system was doubling mileage but not increasing revenue.

Burr, the Republican candidate for h District Congressional seat, gave e senate background on why he is mming and his stands on various issues. E ^en answered questions from SGA mators. Burr stressed education reform and Mdissatisfaction with the public edu'ion system as his reason for entering trace. My wife would tell me, 'something wrong with the public education sys­ tem,"' said Burr."WhenI looked at where we were headed through the eyes of an eight-year-old, I decided to get involved." Burr was questioned extensively by senators, and when Doug Duncan, SGA vice-president, called an end to the ques­ tion period due to time, several senators still had hands raised. BurT also focused on his support for an incentive-based system for business growth andeconomicreform. When ques­ tioned how he would pay for programs and reduce the debt without raising taxes, he said the incentive system would create jobs thereby increasing the tax base. Burr struggled with questions fromoffcampus senator Hunter Schofield on his stands on several environmental issues, admitting he did not know enough about the issues to take a definite stance. He did say he supported alternative energy sources, opposed off-shore drilling in N.C. and did not support clear cutting. On the issues of gay rights and abor­ tion, Burr said he was against same sex marriages and gay families adopting. Burr favors the return of the abortion issue to the states. When asked who he blamed for the budget deficit. Burr said it was "our fault, both yours and mine." "We sat by and let it happen. But now we can either look back and blame or look forward and solve," said BurT. Burr has signed the lead or leave pledge, which states that if the national debt is not reduced in half by 1996 representatives who signed the bill would resign. If he is elected. Bunplans on meeting with several other newly elected representatives, both Republican and Democrat, before the House session to set a common agenda. "I foresee all kinds of reforms being made. There will be a younger, newer House and several representatives with business backgrounds, like myself, who really want to make a change," said Bun. arc often put in with clear glass.

Third parties send over 20 presidential candidates By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Students' plavs Performed Page 3 s Po rts K^rim strong at Collegiate race Page 5 Though Texas billionaire Ross Perot is the most visible independent presidential candidate, 23 presidential candidates will appear on at least one state ballot on Nov. 3. "Of all the potential third-party nui­ sances we could think of, Perot alone has the standing to describe both of our economicplans as pain-freenonsense, which is fine by us," said a Bush campaign official in the Oct. 12 issue of Time. Perot's plans for the economy have been described as the most detailed pro­ gram and most honest program presented to the American people. Perot is also the most potentially threatening candidate to the Republican and Democratic presiden­ tial candidates. Althoughpollsshow Perot does not have the support to win the race, he does have the power to split votes and supporters. Perot's plan to balance the budget has been highlighted in infommericals on prime time television for the past weeks. Perot focuses on raising money for the deficit by doubling tobacco taxes, in­ creasing gasoline taxes by S .50per gallon over five years and increasing taxes on social security benefits for certain sec­ tors. Boosting top-marginal income tax rates, restricting deductibility of mort­ gage interest payments and enforcing tax employer-paid premiums for health in­ surance are also outlined in the Perot solutions to balance the budget and de­ crease the national debt. Presidential candidates Lenora Fulani of the New Alliance Party, John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party, a representative of Andre Marrou of the Libertarian Party, and a representative of independent Board of Trustees member dies 1 ^Slnientarv uotes fr°m ebate #3 7 Special to the Appalachian Sara W. Hodgkins, a member of the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees, died Friday, Oct. 9 at age 61. Hodgkins served eight years as N.C. secretary of cultural resources during the Hunt administration, and she was the first woman elected to the Southern Pines Town Council. A native of Granite Falls, Hodgkins received a degree in musiceducation from Appalachian in 1952. Hodgkins is survived by her husband, Norris; daughters Celeste and Grace Hodgkins, both of Raleigh;Caroline Eddy; | mother, Doris Wilson; brother, Robert Wilson of Raleigh.

Box 516, Southern Pines, N.C. 28388. Lynden LaRouchesgathered in Richmond the night before the televised Presidential Debate to hold their own debate. The parties discussed their plans and concerns for the country. The New Alliance Party considers housing, health care, education and jobs as basic rights. Physicist and candidate Hagelindiscussed his concerns of the government's efforts to find cures for certain diseases. Hagelin believes the methods for finding cures are available, but often restricted through government funding and/or interest. During the debate, LaRouche's repre­ sentative said the candidate had a plan to create six million jobs, but did not give any details. The Libertarian Party's plat­ form calls for the elimination of many federal departments and the reduction of government spending by 67 percent in four years. Third parties in politics do not have „ history of being successful. Third party candidate Fulani, however, said Perot's participation in the Bush-Clinton debates was a step to the end of the two-party system. Research documented in Ad Astra's Feb. 1991 issue "Third party politic" found that third parties usually form around a single issue. That issue usually stems from ending two-party domina­ tion. Third parties concentrate on support­ ing candidates running for national elec­ tions rather than local elections. Local elections do not have the support needed to overcome democratic and republicar competition. Once a thirdparty is formed the focus is on getting support to forc< democrats and republicans in office it take action for their cause.. A third party candidate must ballot qualify in at least 15 to 25 states to run fa office. Third parties take an average o eight years to gain enough support t< combat with the democratic and republi can parties.

Gail Haley instructs in writing, illustrating and puppetry for children. She has received both the Caldecott and Kate Greenway Medals for her past work. The power of the mass media over our lives is a common theme in modem fiction; George Orwell's 1984 comes to mind. While Orwell's vision of a media-controlled fascist state has not materialized, the manipulative nature ofTV commercials, politi­ cal sound bites, billboards and popular music deserves our attention.

Considine stresses the narrow perspective from which network news covers the world. As these newscasts are run for profit, objectivity is often sacrificed in favor of entertainment. "On thenight Desert Storm began, reporters said it looked like Top Gun and sounded like half time at the Super Bowl. From the opening night of the war, I believe, that metaphor continued to prevent the American people from understanding what war was," said Considine. Learning to evaluate the messages of media is paramount in a society where children watch an average of four hours of television per day. During those four hours, children are accosted by alcohol ads, extreme violence and sixty minutes of sugary cereal pitches. For children not to be victimized by these messages, Considine stresses the importance of teaching children to question what they see, to talk back to the tube. On Ocl 2, Considine and Haley discussed their text at the State Conference of School Library Media Specialists, held at Research Triangle Park. "Visual Images: Integrating Imagery Into In­ struction" gives elementary and high school teachers a tool in understanding the ways and means by which media shapes our lives. This knowledge can then be passed on to their students, who will hopefully become America's first "media literate" generation. Group preserves wilderness By CAROLYN ROSE and ELI SEED Appalachian Staff Writers One of the characteristics that sets ASU apart fromother academically competitive schools is the beauty of the surrounding Southern Appalachian Mountains. ASU lies in the middle of one of the most biologically diverse forests on Earth. How­ ever, while we sit back and admire the scenery, this region is being threatened by modern lifestyles. Air pollution, acid rain, and the possible effects of climate change threaten hundreds of plant and animal species native to these mountains. These problems are a direct result of irresponsible management and a lack of foresight in maintaining a balance between the two ecos: ecology and economy. If this trend of irresponsibility contin­ ues, we will ultimately threaten our own existence. With the intention of heightening awareness about forest ecosystems in the Southern Appala­ chians, SouthPAW (Southern Extension of the Preserve Appalachian Wilderness Network) will (representing the Wilderness EducationTour. They will visit our campus on Thursday, October 22 at 7 p.m. in room 279 of Rankin Science Building.

SouthPAW hopes to reawaken our connections with nature, which will commit us to realizing the vision of a healthy, sustainable future. If you love the mountains, SouthPAW's presen­ tation will inform you of what we must do to help protect them.

ASU professorsGail Haley and David Considine have cowntten a textbook to help students under­ stand the messages delivered to them by the media. Visual Messages: Integrating Imagery Into In­ struction" is "the first U.S. text to deal with media literacy, linking it to the old area of educational media and the emerging school reform move­ ment," said Considine. jy LISA LAUGHLIN it Cetera Editor THE APPALACHIAN case the wide range of student talent at Appala­ chian. The New Play Festival has been produced for several years by Playcrafters. It gives student playwrights an opportunity to see their plays sim­ ply staged. After scripts are chosen from submissions they are rewritten and given readings to Playcrafters' members. Their suggestions are used for further rewrites and the playwrights con­ tinue to rewrite the plays during the rehearsal period while working very closely with thecast and directors. "Queen of Hearts" is by Robin E. Bates and concerns the struggle of Katherine to' come to terms with her past. It follows Katherine through a game of solitaire in which the cards begin to symbolize important people and events from her past. The play consists of a series of flashbacks which show Katherine's relationships with her boyfriend, her best friend and her brother. The memories they evoke allow her to make crucial discoveries about herself. Katherine is played by Shannon Eggers, and Kate, who is the younger Katherine in her memories, is played by Samanlha Smith. The cast also includes Brian Asher, Jen Klein and Kirk Hewitt. It is directed by Melanie Comelison and stage managed by Rachel Gaillard. "And They Lived Happily After Ever," by C.F.

I always try to watch as much of the live action as possible, but a ritual of mine has become to tune into the many coaches' shows that air after the fact for conversation, highlights and a chance to get to know the athletes off of the playing field. I usually watch the Mack Brown Show from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the North Carolina State show that features Dick Sheridan, and many others...Maryland, Virginia and Wake Forest. But the one 1 most look forward to is theone filmed right here on our campus by our students... Appalachian Football with Jerry Moore Show. What an awesome way to get to know our players and their interests off of the field as well as see highlights of an away game that I may have missed. Appalachian Football with JerTy Moore Show airs every Thursday night at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on cable channel 21 here in Boone, It features host Brian Estridge with head football coach Jerry Moore in front of the camera discussing the previ­ ous game as well as the next game on the Moun­ taineer schedule. The show also features indi­ vidual players or other groups on campus and selects a play and player of the game each week. fo you and me, the presentation of this show each week seems simple and entertaining. This is possible because of the hard work and dedication of some very talented communications students here at ASU that create this show every week. Starting on game day, producer and director Mac MacLaffee and his crew begin work on the materials for the upcoming show. Entire game footage is recorded by several cameras at different •ngles to ensure complete coverage of the most important plays of the contest. Associate producer Stever White goes to work next by editing the footage down to the key plays we see each week on the show. I look through post-gamestats after the game, •aid White. "Since this is the Appalachian football •tow, I try pick plays that make us look good on both offense and defense." White also collaborates with MacLaffee on the intro to the show that changes each week to suit nat particular game. The crew also edits tape that illustrates the play the player of game for the previous week as *ell as a feature presentation. This week featured he Appalachian State Marching Mountaineers. On the day of taping, many others get involved 0 ensure a complete show. The entire show is ^rded live with MacLaffee coordinating a very tented pool of workers. The crew includes rJacLaffee, White, technical director Charles rWCS; Mark Hanson, Brian Layh and Jason lrCVengood on thecameras; tape operator Michelle (j1*" ^°°r manager Michelle Ross; Brian Winkler r-'°; f^ice Snyder doing the graphics; and Jj^TCorneilson as the engineer. Kevin Balling is faculty advisor. 1 was simply amazed at the professionalism of 'tie students during the taping of the show to be on Thursday, October 23. To my knowledge, »id n° m'sta^e was made during the dubbing of ^e<>tape, the switching of cameras, the adding of c°mmercials or anything else that went into i _ g such a well-thought-out show.

Disher, Cooper, Hogg lead ladies The Lady Mountaineer crosscountry squad trav­ elled to Durham this past Saturday where they finished third in the North Carolina Collegiate Championships at Duke University. Appalachian State amassed 87 total points com­ pared to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who finished first with 41 to edge out the University of North Carolina at Charlotte by one point. Duke finished fourth with 95 points followed by the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with 164. "I thought that we ran well at the state meet. We ran on a course that is much harder than our course is and we had faster times. This tells me that we are ready for the upcoming conference meet," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. The Lady Apps were led by junior Nicole Disher who finished 10th of 112 competitors with a lime of 18:55, to be awarded all-state honors in the meet. Senior Julie Cooper and junior Carrie Hogg also ran well for Appalachian Stale as they finished 11th and 12th respectively. Disher edged out Cooper and Hogg by hundredths of a second as both posted limes of 18:55 on the course as well. Sophomore Dawn Wherenberg and freshman Jannica Hjertman rounded out die top five for the Lady Mountaineers as they finished 22nd and 32nd with respective clockings of 19:15 and 19:56. Otiter strong performances for Appalchian were By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's golf squad en­ joyed great success on Oct. 18 20 as it won the Carson Newman Invitational over a field of twenty teams. Senior Jay Jamieson helped matters for his ASU team by winning the individual honors of the tournament. Jamieson finished the two-round event with scores of 70 and 69 for five under par. Andrew Jamieson was also among the tourna­ ment leaders, finishing in a tie for fourth place with scores of 75 and 73. He was also honored as an alltoumament selection. Senior Kyle Kaufman, junior Bryan Marshbum and senior Travis Wolfealso played key roles in the Mountaineer win. Kaufman finished in a tie for ninth place with a two day score of 151, Marshbum shot a 78 in each of the two rounds, and Wolfe posted scores of 83 and 78. Mountaineer head coach Sam Adams was happy about the win and proud of his team for playing lough down the stretch. "I was very pleased," said Adams. "Three teams were tied with three or four holes to go and our guys just played well to win." The App State golfers also participated in the 13th-annual Hargrove B. Davis Memorial Tourna­ ment at Campbell University on Oct. 11-13 in Buies Creek, N. C. By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State won for the fourth time in its last six soccer matches, 1-0, against Campbell Tuesday night in frigid Kidd Brewer Stadium. The win uppedthc Mountaineers' record to6-7-l on the season while the Camels, losers of three straight, fell to 7-7-1. "This was a good win for us," Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex commented after the game. "Campbell is a solid team; they have a lot of talented players, and I thought we played well." Sophomore midfielder Brian Cone scored the only goalof the contest at the 31:20 mark in the first half. Cone scored unassisted when Scott Griffith's shot bounced off Campbell goalie Travis Maloy's hands and right to Cone, who put it in on the empty Campbell net from pointblank range. The goal was Cone's third of the season. The Camels outshol Appalachian first half 10-4, but were unable to get any ahots piast Mountaineer freshman goalie Jason Hockstra, who recorded eight saves on the night in piosting his fourth shutout of the season. Hockstra has allowed just six goals in his last five outings and 16 goals in nine starts this season. Campbell's best scoring chance came twenty minutes into the match when Jack Robinson got free on the right wing and took a shot from less than 15 yards out. Robinson's shot appeared to be in, but it nicked the left pxist and bounced out. Appala­ chian sweepx-r Joel Nesbitt was able to clear it away. In the second half, the Mountaineers clanped down defensively, allowing only dtreeCamel shots. Appalachian got a boost late in the first half is very much and Brian Uidpformatinformative and the sameJohn Kilgo Itid i^' '^ witty as e as "le nat'on- tonight for yourself. The Mountaineers finished 20th in the 24-team field and, again, had strong performances from Jay and Andrew Jamieson. Jay finished 14 strokes off of the lead with a team low 154 and Andrew followed with a 156. Kaufman also had a strong round by shooting a 158 in the two-round event. VirginiaTech was theoverall team winner in the tournament. Adams is pleased with his team's performance throughout its fall schedule and hopes to see some better finishes in the spiring. "Our team was a little inconsistent," said Adams. "We had had some excellent individual pxerformances and I see improvement." Along with the win at the Carson Newman Invitational Jay Jamieson finished second at the Tom O'Briant Memorial Golf Tournament at Guilford College with a total score of 147. Kaufman also had a second place finish at the Kiawah Island Intercollegiate Tournament at the College of Charleston with an overall score of 212. Jamieson and Kaufman have been consistent leaders for the Mountaineers during their senior season. Freshman Andrew Jamieson is also having an exceptional year. The Mountaineers will travel to James Madison University on Oct. 30-Nov. 1 to participate in the James Madison Invitational Tournament for the last event of the fall season. — -Appalachian Photo by Randy Reinink See APP page 6 MOUNTAINEER BOOTERS SCORE ANOTHER WIN: Appalachian State hosted Campbell on Monday evening and picked up their first win over the Camels since 1987,1-0.

Fereshetian noted the performances of his third through seventh seeds as being keys to the squad's overall performance at Duke. "Our guys who ran three, four, five, six and seven really came through for us and demonstrated that they can run tough cross country. We had very strong grouping in this meet and I was really pleased," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers closed the gap a great deal between their first seed and seventh seed runners. Going into the race, the squad had run as quickly as 1:43 from the distance between the top and the bottom of the runners and as slow as 2:17. In this meet, ASU finished at a season best time of 1:21. "This was exactly what we needed going into the conference race. The course at Duke was very tough and is similar to that which we will run for the league championship at Virginia Military Institute next weekend," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers will travel to Lexington, Va. on Oct. 31 to compete in the Southern Conference Championships at VMI. "East Tennessee State is certainly the favorite, but we cannot overlook Marshall. We could goout and run our very best and still finish third in this race. It will just all depend on what ETSU and Marshall do. We will certainly be prepared to run," Fereshetian said. East Tennessee State, the reigning conference champions, is currently ranked 23rd in the nation and team leader Seamus Power boasts the fastest time in the league with a 24:21 clocking going into the race.

Jillings, an All-South­ ern Conference selection in 1991, was injured in the Furman match and had missed the last five matches. Jillings was second on the squad in goals, assists and points when he went down. "Brian gives us so much," Rex said. "He is such a big presence on the field for us. He is a threat offensively and really helps us on defense." The win over Campbell was the first for an Appalachian team since 1987. Last season the Camels whipped the Moun­ taineers 7-1. After starling the season 2-6, ASU has now gone 4-1-1 in its last six games and will be looking to extend its recent streak today with a road encounter at Virginia Tech. Appalachian will close out its South­ ern Conference slate Sunday in Kidd Brewer Stadium against Virginia Mili­ tary Institute.

Folks, I'm telling you that the task of being president of the U.S. involves more than someone sitting in an office alone checking "yes" or "no" boxes on bills. And although our presidents reap the glory and the blame for most of our nation's accomplishments and failures, they are not solely responsible. If our government is"by the people," then we shouldn't expect so much from our leaders. We cannot expect our president to cater to our every wish and desire. We can, however, expect him to protect our freedom. Our free­ dom allows us as citizens to do things for ourselves; when the government does everything for the people, the government has too much power over the people. We need to educate ourselves, heal ourselves, and clothe and shelter ourselves. Our president has no business trying to use the government to wait on us hand and foot. In the few days remaining before election day, ask yourself two questions: "Whom am I going to elect for president?" and "What exactly am I going to expect from our new president?" For your own sake, make sure your expectations are realistic. If you expect the next four years to be filled with prosperity, uncommon growth and revolutionary change because of one man, you will be painfully disappointed. A The second debate was implemented with the only format designed "for the QUESTIONS leople". The television viewers were able to relate to the audience as well as she questions asked.

Unfortunately, voters are exhausted from wad­ ing through a great deal of nonsense to find valuable and relevant information. Many voters arestill skeptical and hesitant to support a particular candidate when there are so many unanswered questions about all three. Even so, as Nov. 3 draws nearer, much of the confu­ sion and nonsense is settling down, and people are forming clearer pictures of who Clinton, Bush, and Perot are. Many people have already made their decisions. I, personally, am glad that I have eleven more days. I remain skeptical on a few matters regarding each candidate's ability to be an effective and productive commander in chief. Never fear, I'm not going to walk into the voting booth on the 3rd and just start pulling levers or pushing buttons. 1just want to be sure that1can live with my choice for president, regardless of whether or not my choice is elected. If you've made your decision — congratulations. If you're like me, and you haven't quite decided, don't be discouraged. Identify the exact issue or matter that is clouding your judgement and ask questions, read related materials; get some answers. I'll do the same. But here'ssomething for all of us to keep in mind, both the decided and undecided. The next President of the United Slates of America will not possess the power to work miracles. He will not be exempt from making mistakes. He will not have the ability to satisfy every citizen of this nation. He will be required to work alongside a great number of people, some who agree and CLINTON PEROT What I don't like is trickle-down government. Governor Clinton keeps talking about trickle-down, trickledown; but he's still talking about spending more and taxing more. He says: Invest government, grow government. Government doesn't create jobs. If they do, they are makework jobs. It's the private sector that creates jobs. Yes, we've got too many taxes on the American people and we are spending too much. My plan is a departure from trickledown economics, just cutting taxes on the wealthiest Americans and getting out of the way. It is also a departure from tax-and-spend economics, because you can tax and divide and economy that isn't growing. I propose an American version of what works in other countries: Invest and grow. If you forecast it out, you still have a significant deficit under each of the other candidates plans, as I understand them. There is only one way out of this, and that is to stop the deteriora­ tion of our job base to have an expanding tax base. You see, balancing the budget is not nearly as difficult as paying off the national debt and leaving our children the American dream intact. We have sp>ent their money, we have got to pay it back. Reduce the White House staff by a third at the same time or after Congress reduces their staff. Term limits, for members of the United States Congress. You want to give the government back to the people? Let's do it that way. And how about a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution? And you want to do something about all this extra spending? How about a line-item veto? That's a good reform program for you. The real problem in this country is that most people are working hard, and falling farther behind. My passion is to pass a jobs program, and to get incomes up with an investment incentives program to grow jobs in the private sector, to waste less public money, and to invest more. To control health care costs and provide for affordable health care for all Americans, and to make sure we've got the best trained work force in the world. We've got to get this country growing again, and we've got to get this economy strong again, or we can't bring down the deficit. Economic growth is the key to the future of this country. In a nutshell, we have to reforin our government or we are not going to get anything done. We have a government that doesn't work. It is supposed to come from the people; it comes at the people. The people need to take the government back. You've got to reform Congress, they've got to be servants of the people again. You've got to reform the White House. The key thing is to turn the government back to the people, and take it away from the special interests. Jobs, that's the number one priority, and believe my program for stimulat­ ing investment, encouraging small business, brand new approach to education, strengthening the American family, and yes, creating more American exports is the way to go. I don't believe in trickle-down govern­ ment. I don't believe in larger taxes and greater government spending. In foreign affairs, if a crisis comes up, who has the judgement, the experience and the character to make the right decision? Who will safeguard this nation, who will safeguard our people and our children? I need your support. I offer a new approach. It is not trickle-down economics, that's been tried for 12 years, and it has failed. More people are working harder for less, there are 100,000 people a month losing their health insurance, unem­ ployment is going up, our economy is slowing down. We can do better It is not tax-and-spend economics. It's invest-and-grow; put our people first; control health care costs and provide basic health care to all Americans have an educational system second to none; and revitalize the private economy. That is my commitment to you. We can do much, much better if we have the courage to change. These next two weeks, we will be going full steam ahead, to make sure that you get a voice, and that you get your country back. This Thursday night, on ABC from 8:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday night, on NBC from 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday night on CBS from 8:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., we will be down in the trenches, under the hood, ...fixing the car, to gel it back out on the road. Question is: Can we win? Absolutely we can win, because it is your country. Question is really: Who do you want in the White House? You've got to stop letting these people in the press tell you that you are throwing your vote away, you have got to start using your own head. Then the question is: Can we govern? I love that one. The 'we* is you and me. You bet your hat we can govern, because we will be in there together. We will figure out what to do, because you want tolerate gridlock and all of these [special] interests meandering around. Together we can get anything done. BUSH I �The Appalachian Thursday.

The event offers students, iculty and staff the opportunity to voice heir opinions about the November elecjons and the candidates for election. Beginning at noon, people will be able o voice their views on the election issues nth a one minute time limit. The length of the event will be based on the turnout and what the students have to say, ex­ plained Ty Harrell, President of the Col­ lege Democrats. Local democratic and possibly state­ wide democratic candidates will be serv­ ing free hot dogs and cokes during the speak-out. The candidates include: Judy Hunt and Wade Wilmouth from the North Carolina House; Dr. Ben Strickland, Carl Fiddler and Jack Wclbom who are run­ ning for County Commissioner; Glenn Hodges, running for Clerk of Court; and Phylis Thasher, candidate for Register of Deeds. Non-partisan candidates for the school board may attend. Statewide can­ didates and/or their representatives have been approached about the event, but have not yet confirmed. "Bringing about political awarenesson this campus is vital," said Harrell. "ASU can set a precedent among North Carolina campuses by being active. The ASU College Democrats are here to bring about awareness." The speak-out's goal is to make people more politically aware, said Harrell. "Awareness on campus is high," said Harrell, but itcan be higher. Manypeople are unsure of who to vote for president. It is our job to present a platform of our candidates to help people decide." Since voter registration deadlines have passed the speak-out will focus on per­ petuating discussions on the issues."This [speak-out] coincides with the contro­ versial flyers published," said Harrell. "This is to bring awareness after registra­ tion." The event will allow students, to see and hear what is going on, according to Harrell, students will look at the elec­ tions in a serious light. Hanell hopes to reach as many students as possible. The time slot and location, noon on Sanford Mall, was chosen to reach students at the peak lunch hour in a peak gathering area. The College Democrats are worLng on plans to have a band perform at the speak-out. However, nothing is official at this moment. Getting the speak-out started will not be a problem said Harrell. If the event needs an introduction to intiate talks then the College Democrats will provide that. Harrell hopes as people voice their opin­ ions during the speak-out more people will become interested and active. "I have no idea of what our opposition is planning to do," said Harrell. "Since they have not been visible to bring about awareness of their candidates, the Col­ lege Democrats are setting the pace that the opposition must keep up with." 1200 fans celebrate Braves' win Wednesday Awareness emphasized The night was not without incident, however.

(CPS)—A campus newspaper's de ion to report the name and address of a e victim has created a stormy controsy at Marshall University in Huntingi " Va., and the paper's editor said he 1 not back down from printing names he future. he story, which included the woman's ess and details of the attack, was Wished in September. Several campus groups condemned the newspaper for vio­ lating the woman's right to privacy. It is not illegal in West Virginia to publish a rape victim's name, but several officials questioned the ethics and reasoas for thepublishing the woman's name. She does not attend Marshall University and the alleged attack occurred off cam­ pus. The dilemma is multi-faceted, but boils down to a question of rights—those of the newspaper vs. those of the victim. While many involved in such cases present the issue in either-or terms, there are many levels of debate, journalists and communicatior faculty say. Kevin Melrose, editor of The Parthenon, said the seven-member stu­ dent editorial board voted 4-3 to publish the rape victim's name. The board consists of six men and one woman; the woman voted to publish the name, he said. The article appeared in the Sept. 22 edition. The reasons for publishing the name were two-fold, Melrose said. He said that the newspaper had a "journalistic dedica­ tion to fairness" to present facts and "do what is fair and just." Additionally, he said, by printing the woman's name, he INTERNATIONAL WEEK at APPALACHIAN Appalachian State University celebrates International Week Oct. 19-24 with a host of speakers and presentations from faculty who have travelled the globe.

Twxriav Printer ?n JQQ1 Campus career placement services avj Center assists ASU students and alumni in job searches through various By NANCY SCOTT Appalachian Staff Writer As a college student, chances are good that you hold getting a job after gradua­ tion as oneofyourtoppriorities. If this is the case, the Career Development Office can help you. The Career Development Center of­ fers acomplete career planning and place­ ment program for Appalachian students and alumni. The center has several services to aid students in finding a career and getting a job in their fields after gradu­ ation. Probably the most well-known of these services is the on-campus recruiting program, which allows students on-cam­ pus interviews withprospectiveemployers. The center alsooffers career fairs in different areas, which allow students to discuss careers and get advice from people who are actually working in their field of interest. Workshops in develop­ ing resumes, interview techniques, and job search skills are also a part of the center. Another service available is the ca­ reer hotline. Students can obtain job listings and information on career ser­ vices by calling 262-2616. In addition to these, the career center has career counseling, graduate school information, and a career library. The center also assists students in locating part-time and temporary on-and off-campus employment while they are students. According to Mark Williams of the Student Development Office, a survey was sent to all students who received their undergraduate degree in May of 1990. Over 96 percent of the respondents said they were either employed or continuing their education. Williams says this num­ ber is above the national average. A majority of these students reported that they used the Career Development Center's job placement services, career fairs, and career guidance and counseling services. ASU encourages minority enrollment By GRETCHEN WEBER Appalachian Staff Writer Sheehan appointed Associate Vice Chancellor Special to the Appalachian James P. Sheehan has been appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Financial Management at Appalachian State Uni­ versity. The associate vice chancellor for financial management is responsible for the controller s office, the administra­ tive support services and the budget of­ fices, said Sheehan. His administrative duties include development, oversight and implementation of the university's ac­ counting, budgeting and business opera­ tions. Sheehan officially started his job on Sept. 8. "After a month, I'm finding that I like it more and more each day," said Sheehan. "I'm expecting a fruitful union with tK8 "university." Sheehan applied for the position with­ out seeing the campus or area. "The moment I saw thecampusand surroudings, I was very excited," expressed Sheehan. "I think the university is a vety vibrant place, and I'm looking forward to work­ ing with the university." Prior to coming to Appalachian, Sheehan was director of fiscal affairs at Bridgewater State College. He was responsible for managing the college's financial services including payroll, accounts payable, accounts re­ ceivable, general ledger, cash manage­ ment, grants accounting and student loan services. Sheehan also served as the college's liason with the state comptroller's office. Sheehan has a bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from Bentley College and an MBA from Southeastern Massachusetts University.

"Appalachian students have the knowlege and ability to make informed decisions about alcohol and I feel that this (is the focus) of Alcohol Awareness Week," said Kirkley. "Students can recognize that not drinking can affect them in several positive ways like the absence of legal trouble if you are not of age, no health risk, better grades, a general better feeling and sharper in classes and all around because they can remember what happened all the time." Those interested in entering the contest should contact Dale at the Substance Abuse Education Center at 262-3148. Resident Assistants are encouraged to hold programs in their halls for alcohol awareness during AAW. The Substance Abuse Education center's ADAPT team (Appalachian Drug Abuse Prevention Tearn) is willing to do aseries of informa­ tive and free programs to halls and orga­ nizations for AAW or any other week during the year. Some of the programs offered by the Substance Abuse Education Center are Alcohol 101, Alcoholism and the Family, Buzz Busting and All Drugs Consid­ ered. "I think that more people should get involved in Alcohol Awareness Week because it is a positive thing. More pub­ licity should be given to it so that more organizations will know about it." said Jake Klerlein, a three-semester veteran of the ADAPT team. "(AAW) is a valuable opportunity to express awareness of positive choices concerning alcohol," said Kara Bowling, a graduatestudent incharge of the ADAPT team.

The Afri­ can-American population makes up4percent of that total. Harry Williams is Assistant Director of Minority Enrollment at Appalachian. His job is to recruit African-Americans to Appalachian. He said the focus is on African-Americans because they make up 35 percent of the population in North Carolina, therefore they are the largest minority in the state. Williams stated the number of AfricanAmericans at Appalachian is so low be­ cause there is not a large African-Ameri­ can community in this region, so they have to go outside of our region to recruit minority students. Mecklenburg County is the prime target area. Doug Duncan, Student Government Association vice-president, included in his platform the desire to increase minor­ The Substance Abuse Education Cen­ ter (SAEC) recommends several movies that address the topic of substance abuse. The list includes "Rush," "The Doors" and"Less than Zero." The SAEC is located on the second floor of the Student Support Building. ity enrollment at Appalachian. Duncan agrees that location is a factor which hinders minority enrollment at ASU. Duncan says the location, the make-up of the University, the predominately white community and the climate are all factors that account for low numbers of minori­ ties on campus. In an effort to recruit African-Ameri­ cans to Appalachian, Williams speaks with students in high schools about the strong support programs for African-Americans on campus, such as the Black Student Association and the Black Gospel Choir. In addition, Williams makes phone calls and personal visits, then follows up with writ­ ing a letter to prospective African-Ameri­ can students. In 1982 the Federal Government man­ dated that all state schools increase their enrollment of minorities. Since 1982, Williams said that Appalachian has in­ creased its number of African-Americans from 250 to 462. Williams that the other North Carolina universities that have higher percentages of minorities usually Keep America Beautiful have a higher concentration of AfricanAmericans in their communities. For ex­ ample, UNC-Chapel Hill has about 13 to 14 percent minority enrollment, North Carolina State has about 12 to 14 percent, and East Carolina University has about 18 percent, according to Williams. Will­ iams pointed out that UNC-Asheville has only 2 percent minority enrollment and Western Carolina University had only 4 percent. Those schools with a higher concentration of African-Americans in the surrounding community have higher percentages of minorities, as opposed to the low percentages in the schools with a lower African-American population in the area. Williams said that when the office of admissions considers an African-Ameri­ can student's admission to Appalachian, more emphasis is placed on the student's grades, extracurricular activities and let­ ters of recommendation then on the student's ethnicity. Scholarships for minorities are avail­ able, which can encourage minority en­ rollment.

What does it mean? How does the dictionary define it exactly? That is really not important when it comes to understanding and describing all of the aspects of culture. This word is used sooften to describe the different areas of the world and all of the various people that live in those areas. There are so many different elements that are tied up in culture. Race, customs, religion, language and education are all subheadings that may come to mind when we think of culture and all that it encompasses. Unfortunately, we are often so caught up in our own immediate environment that we don't stop and take a look at the ways in which other people live. Our classes, jobs, friends, and personal prob­ lems obstruct us from taking a look at the wide world that exists outside of our own small environ­ ment. I know personally that as I shuffle to classes each day, my thoughts range from what I'm doing that weekend to whom I'm meeting in the Food Court after class. My mind gets so wrapped up in small, personal problems, yetI feel that if we would sometimes look away from our immediate prob­ lems and on to the bigger problems that others face i from day to day in different countries, then maybe I our problems would seem a little less important. This week is international V/eek. Many people do not even realize this, and even if they did, they probably don't know exactly what it means. It is a week to learn and listen to the interesting people of this world. This is the perfect time to open up our eyes to the world around us. It's a time to look at acountry that isdifferent thanour own, one that has different people, customs, and religions that we call "foreign." M aybe we even say that someof the characteristics of a culture are weird or strange, yet we need to realize that those cultures look at ours and say the same thing. The world is full of opportunities that extend far beyond our immediate scope. It's full of people •hat are more like us than we know, in ways that are not always clear. If you've ever had the chance to travel overseas, then you realize that a culture goes far beyond the physical, observable characterisbcs. It goes far beyond the haircuts, clothing, and material posessions. It reaches into personal be­ liefs, ideas, and morals that are comparable in some aspects to our own. Besides just the people that live in these other countries, there is tne country itself. The beauty, •be architecture, and the styles that are full of the local color. These things are tools that help reflect •be ideals of the people that live in the country. The "ays people move about in their country are also a Part of the culture, for that affects such things as the snvir*)nment and cleanliness of the area. Take a look at our own surroundings for a boment. The landscape here is considered beautil by most people. The huge mountains with trees at contain leaves of yellow, orange, and shades of iF'cry red. Now, just think, if there is so much to see tgbt here in Boone, North Carolina, what else is )Ut 'bere? Aren't you slightly curious about how bther countries look, and how the people live? Is the Tower of London really that architectually •tnique? What about Paris, France or even Spain? e me people that live in these various countries ea"y so very different from us? It would be very tteresting to find out. I'm not saying you have to aVe' there to experience it, for not all of us are enough to be able to do that. However, ilm: . s. books and speakers can give you a general eel for it. UTtUinate ' think all of the cultures in the world are ^orth time it takes to learn about them. They are j°nh reading about and, if the opportunity comes ^ng, they are definitely worth visiting. Sure, the 'ted States is great. It's a gorgeous country with benefits. However, let's not limit ourselves °ftly learning about it. There are different people ^ uferent ideas that we can learn from, and in •fhd broaden our minds. It's a chance to hence something unique and benefit from it. 3 m'nute sometime in your busy day and "•ink ^ • Forget your immediate problems that seem overwhelming at the time and discover other 'featC F'aces if this world. This week is a opportunity to learn more about different •bou ICS cultures- 't s a<-hancc to watch a film w Poland or listen to someone speak about w, tvhen C3n °n'^ say 'hat we are fully open minded ou We 'ct 'n 0|her things that may seem foreign ue ri®'" now- It's great to be able to feel as if we 0la"y culturally aware, for only then can we fU| Say that we understand our world. Appalachian Photo by Keith Jackson STUDENTS LEARN HOME MANAGING SKILLS: ASU'S home management house leaches students decorating and managing skills, Students are required to stay within a limited budget and are graded on their performance. The Home Management House is located on East Campus between Coffey and Lovill Halls. Have you ever wondered what goes on in the Home Management House locaied across from Coffey residence hall? A whole lot of decorating and designing takes place, according to the stu­ dents who live there each semester. Except for home economics and interior design majors, not too many students on campus know about the '.'design house." A group of home economic education and interior design students are selected to live in the house each semester and are expected to redesign a room and manage the house as part of a semester class. This semester the students will be working to redesign a kitchen in one of the apartments. After the room for the project was chosen, the students were divided into two teams. Each team was responsible for preparing design and decorat­ ing ideas for the kitchen. The interior design majors were in charge of planning and organizing the space of the room . The home ec. ed. students were responsible for the kitchen's accessories, such as appliances. On September 30, the two ' teams hosted a luncheon at the Home Management House for professional designers and a few ASU faculty members. The purpose of the luncheon was for the students to present their team projects and receive feedback from experts in the field of de­ sign. Dr. Jane Harb of the home economics depart­ ment heads up the Home Management House class and says she enjoys working with the students on their projects each semester. Dr. Harb says the class helps students apply the skills they 've learned in class to areal life situation. For example, the residents of the Home Manage­ ment House are expected to complete the room they have chosen while staying within a fairly lirhitcd budget. They are also expected to complete the project within the time limit of the semester The students arcalso accountable for their attitudes See HOUSE page 6 Sonic Youth show rocked crowds in Chapel Hill OU Pi JU By ELIZABETH WEST Appalachian Staff Writer LastSaturday evening I had an incredible oppor­ tunity to see a band I've seen several times and have long since admired. Sonic Youth played the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill to a sweaty torrid crowd of 800 kids who were ready to rock out. And rock they did. I have followed Sonic Youth for about eight years now and haveseen them perform in small clubs as well as opening up for Neil Young on his infamous Weld tour. The band consists of Thurston Moore, guitarist/vocalist; Kim Gordon, bassist/vocalist; Lee Ranaldo, guitarist; and Steve Shelley, drummer. Sonic Youth became somewhat of an icon when they exploded onto the New York music scene in 1981 with their avant-garde style of using drumsticks, screwdrivers and whatever else happened to be laying around when they played their already irregularly tuned instruments. Under the light of the full moon, I found myself roaming Franklin Street prior to the show amid what seemed to be hundreds of cowboy hats. As it turned out. Garth Brooks was performing down the road at the Dean Dome for those who were unfor­ tunate enough not to have been able to get a ticket to the sold-out Sonic Youth show. The moon was definitely on my side this night as I had the very good fortune to run into Kim Gordon. I have been a long time fan of hers and believe strongly in the progress she has made as well as her input that helped to create new possibilities for women in the rock and roll scene. I asked her how she felt about the new wave of female rockers and she said obviously, "it's pretty fantastic and I just hope that women will continue to express themselves through music and hopefully we'll see more women since we do make up over half of the US population." Despite tire fact that women in rock and roll have been somewhat of a token, Gordon believes there aren't enough women involved and stated that she is " constantly finding herself trying to rework the traditional female rock stereotype and my role within the rock scene."The songs Gordon singsare predominately about women and issues surround­ ing women today. I thought she was brilliant and definitely appreciated learning just how politically aware she and the rest of the band are. Of course part of my personal attraction to Gordon is a love of women who rock. There are not enough of them and wherever they are they aren't getting the expo­ sure they deserve. When Sonic Youth started playing clubs on the New York underground rock scene, Gordon was rarely heard using her talented vocal ability. Now, she is seen center stage and singing half of the songs on the set list as well as switching from bass Sec SONIC page 6 'The Last of the Mohicans' hits the big screen By PAUL FLEETWOOD Appalachian Staff Writer The long awaited "The Last of the Mohicans" has finally arrived in theaters. Hundreds of West­ ern Carolina areacitizens were able to see first-hand the making of the classic story which was filmed entirely in the North Carolina mountains. Director Michael Mann is no stranger to the North Carolina region after filming "Manhunter," the stylish police thriller with nouveau sets and surreal background music, a strong element in Mann's film style. This time around, Mann cap­ tures the historical period of Pre-Revolutionary 1757 with the help of the naturally beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. "The Last of the Mohicans" is the child Mann has nurtured for several years. He bought the rights to the 1936 film version in 1989 and began rewrit­ ing the screenplay along with Christopher Crowe. Not only is Mann the father and writer of the project, he is also co-producer in addition to direc­ tor. The screenplay has its differences from James Fenimore Cooper's leather stocking tale written in 1826. The movie has one definite advantage over the book, however. Cooper has a longwinded de­ scriptive style whichis easily and naturally avoided with motion pictures and with Mann's glorious salute to the natural world. In movies it is virtually impossible to be visually longwinded and Mann takes every opportunity to place the camera and his cast in impossible, but astounding locations. The movie is too involving to be described as slow and overpowered by dialogue to be consid­ ered action-packed. There is a generous supply of battle and massacre scenes which are masterfully choreographed and, literally, explosive. The mag­ nitude of the fights and photography are on such a grand scale the big screen is the only true way to follow the detailed shots. The final twenty minutes of the movie was filmed around the beautiful and majestic Chimney Rock, an area of narrow cliffs, rolling mountain tops and a breathtaking waterfall which is used as a natural backdrop to the Huron Indian village. The story follows Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) and hiscompanions Uncas, the lastof the Mohicans, and his father Chmgachgook as they assist the beautiful sisters Cora (Madeline Stowe) and Alice Munro in taking them to accompany their father at Fort William Henry as he battles the French. The story continues as the English are pushed outof the stronghold and venture off into the highlands. The perfect place for an ambush, led by the brutal Huron Indian Magua, who you may recognize as the Pawnee Chief from "Dances With Wolves." A touching relationshipdevelops early between Cora and Hawkeye as the scout devotes his life to her safe passage, while Uncas and Alice Munro share a subtle, but very tender love. The movie does not loose any of the romantic currents which flow so prevalently from Cooper's novel. "The Last of the Mohicans" also explores the distrust the colonists have for the English, a harbinger of the American Revolution and the brutality of the bloody war the English fight with the French and Indians. Come Oscar time, the film is certain to gain the honor and recognition it deserves, possibly even best picture, bestdirector or best photography. It is still too early to call these predictions so now they are only hopes. "The Lastof the Mohicans" expresses the neces­ sity forlove andsurvival amidst turmoil, the respect for lineage and country, and presents a grand tribute to the inextinguishable fire of the human spirit. It is a movie which should be respected as well as adored by the individual, cherished as well as celebrated by a nation. MC Serch wastes no time releasing 'Return of the Product By BILLY MAUPIN Appalachian Staff Writer At this time one year ago, MC Serch and 3rd Bass were feeling the success of their single, "Pop Goes the Weasel." The video was inheavyrotation on MTV, and the song was securely nestled near the top of the pop charts. 3rd Bass even drew in a large crowd here in Boone. So, it came as a surprise when the group disbanded to pursue solo careers. MC Serch wasted no time in recording and releasing his first solo effort, "Return of the Prod­ uct." "Return of the Product" is a vastly different record than anything Serch did with 3rd Bass. The most notable difference is in the production of the record. It sounds very slick and polished, with everything sounding crystal clear, almost as if the record were intended for mainstream music, a sharp contrast to the multi-cultured textures that 3rd Bass was known for. It is very ironic that MC Serch's new record is called "Return of the Product," because at the height of 3rd Bass's popularity that is exactly what he was, a product that was marketed and sold beyond the normal bounds of rap. While Serch's record company, DefJam, seems to be taking the same approach with his solo record, Serch himself is not. If anything, his rhymes have returned to the essence of the street, exactly what made him popu­ lar in the first place. The closest "Return of the Product" comes to being pop rap is in the album's lead track, "Here it Comes." Not surprisingly, that song is also the album's first single and video. Mostly a shout-out about his return, "Here it Comes" lacks any real direction. Obviously, MTV would consider it perfect for their show. The album picks up from there with the heavy basses song, "You Don't Have to Be." Musically, this is the album's best song, thanks to the live instruments of Chris Bruce and Brett "Epic" Mazur. This song makes you want to jump, but without telling you over and over. Two tracks on the album, "Hard But True" and "Social Narcotics,"expose Serch's political views. It comes as no surprise to anyone that heard his interview on WASU last year, where he veTy fervently defended his be­ liefs to the more conservative fans in Boone. "Hard ButTrue" lights into several situations in which offenders havegotten away The surprise of the album comes from the song Back to the Grill," where serch is joined by Chubb Rock and newcomers Nasty Nas and Red Hot Lover Tone. All three guests rap with a fever and mostly because of where . . street the trials were held. , 44 If anything, his rhymes have with crimes against blacks, returned to the essence of the . , , . > exactly what made him popular in the first place. Serch is calling for justice to beserved in all cases, not just those where it is convenient. "Social Nar­ cotics" approaches racism in a very different way, by comparing the misconceptions that are presented about different cultures as a narcotic that is far more deadly than any current drug. immediacy that Serch does not possess,especially Red Hot Lover Tone, who sounds so at ease in twist­ ing words and word meanings into a smooth rhyme, much like Black Sheep or A Tribe Called Quest. "Return of the Product" is not a bad record, but then again it is not a particularly good record either. It is very uneven at times, leav­ ing a lukewarm impression. Like when you run out of real milk, and have to use powdered. It will do, but it sure would be nice to have the real thing. 95 �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 20.1992 ASU hosts novelist John le Carre By KATE HESS Assistant Et Cetera Editor There are many talented novelists throughout the world, all of whom con­ tribute to our literary knowledge. These novelists come from many different areas and help in the expansion of our thoughts and ideas. Appalachian State is honored to be hosting one of these such novelists this week, John le Carre. Le Carre is one of England's most famous novelists who has written a vari­ ety of best sellers, many of which have Sonic Continued from page 5 to lead guitar throughout the show. The show began withlocal band Picasso Trigger. The band's vocalist, another fe­ male talent with her roots in the post-punk music scene, was so powerful the mem­ bers of Sonic Youth were in the audience rocking out with the rest of the sweaty crowd. 1 spoke to Gordon during the Picasso Trigger performance and she beenmade into movies. The Russia House is a fairly recent movie that was created from le Carre's novel. Other works in­ clude The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, Smiley's People, The Looking Glass War, and most recently. The Secret Pil­ grim. titled Call For The Dead. He needed to form an alias since he was a young British Foreign Service officer posted in Ger­ many. His complex stories of espionage differed from the simple James Bond sto­ ries that were very popular at the time. The characters in Lc Carre's stories are envisioned as real people, living in a dangerous world full of people that can­ not be trusted, and government officials that are deceiving. These characters are ones with whom some readers can relate, for le Carre has a firm knowledge of the espionage world due to his time spent as an officer in the British Foreign Service. Le Carre first won critical acclaim in 1963 with his third novel. This novel is entitled The Spy Who Came in From the Cold, and after it became popular it en­ abled him to devote all of his free time to writing. Le Carre seems to have a strong belief in the idea that spies and processes of surveillance are still around today, and will be for awhile despite the end of the Cold War. "The vast industry of mutual surveillance that grew up alongside the industry of mutual destruction is not about to disappear. The spies, like the weapons, are here to stay, and proliferate, sooner or agrees that this band is a hot new talent for chaotic discords of their guitar sound alternative listeners to keep an eye on in which is always a part of the Sonic Youth the future. sound.

Shedid a fiery versionof"Drunken old favorites for the die-hard Sonic Youth Butterfly" which justly excited the fans to fans. They played an explosive version of a virtual rock frenzy. However, what this the rock anthem 'Teenage Riot" with the Chapel Hill crowd seemed to dig the most was the band's new hit so named "Chapel Hill", with lyrics which invite "Jesse Helms come to our pit". Other politically pro­ vocative songs include "Youth Against Fascism" which states "1 believe Anita Hill/the judge'll rot in hell", and "Shoot" with Gordo chanting lyrics "can 1 have some money, don't ask me what it's for," about a woman desinng an abortion which she believes she shouldn't have to reveal to any man. It was not unexpected that the This British novelist has won many honorary degrees and awards for his works, among them the Somerset Mangham Award, which is very prestitious in the literary world.

Record passing lifts ASU over VMI, 27-12 By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The Appalachian State Mountaineer football team came one step closer to the Southern Confer­ ence Championship on Saturday with a 27-12 victory at the Virginia Military Institute. D.J. Campbell had a career best game for the second week in a row. Campbell hit on 18 of 27 passes for 274 yards in the Mountaineer victory, one which ASU head coach Jerry Moore knows is important. "We've got to win them all," said Moore. "We certainly don't feel like we're out of the chase, but wr've known since our loss to The Citadel that we have to win them all. Our backs are to the wall, but we've been there before." The Apps scored first late in the second quarter on a 46-yard scoring strike from Campbell to Anthony Smith. Smith finished the contest with eight catches for 108 yards The Mountaineers scored again moments later on a dramatic play that was similar to the gamewinning hail-Mary-pass at JMU. Campbell lofted a pass from the Keydet 39 for the final play of the half. After bouncing off of ASU flanker Scott Yaudes, the ball fell into the waiting hands of Ray Gama for the score. "I'd like to say I made as good of a catch as Craig (Styron) did last week, but that would be a lie,"said Gama. "Luck was a part of it, with the ball being batted around. I saw it coming but then it bounced into a crowd of people. Then I saw it come off. It By STACEY STILLS Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State field hockey squad im­ proved to 4-4 on the season over the past week as they picked up two wins at home after losing on the road. The Lady Mountaineers traveled to Richmond, VA on Tuesday to challenge Virginia Common­ wealth, falling 0-7. "VCU is a pretty good team. They have played on turf for five years and they are very experienced. We learned a lot in the game," ASU Head Coach Cathy Burleson said. The Lady Apps improved their game in the second half at VCU, as they allowed only two goals compared to five in the opening half. "We were shell shocked in the first half," Burleson said. ASU returned home to host the Durham Club and Virginia Tech on Saturday, chalking up two wins. The Lady Apps sailed to a 7-1 win over the ' - " ' f Durham Clubas senior forward Shannon Smith led Appalachian with three goals. Smith was also the leading force for ASU in the second game of the day, scoring Appalachian's only goal, as they defeated Virginia Tech, 1-0. "Our girls had really nice passing and they utilized each other very well," Burleson said."Both of the wins were reflections of a real team effort. I was real pleased with everyone's performance." The Lady Mountaineers will travel to WinstonSalem to meet the Lady Deacons of Wake Forest on Wednesday. "Wake Forest is a pretty good team and it is quite tough to play there. We will have to be mentally strong because they will have a big crowd down there," Burleson said. "I think that we can beat them if we are able to play with the same intensity that we played with over the weekend here in Boone." After traveling to Wake Forest, ASU will return home to host High Point in their final home match of the season on Oct. 29 before traveling to take on Deep South Conference powerhouse Davidson on Nov. 1. league as they travelled to Charleston, SC to win Over The Citadel, 34-13.

Stevens picked off a Scales pass to end VMI's first drive of the second half and Robinson inter­ cepted a pass late in the third quarter to stall a Keydet drive that had moved deep into Mountain-' eer territory. The Mountaineer ground attack stayed fairly quiet as the Mountaineer rushed for only 160 yards as a team.

"I still didn't feel too bad until they hit the hail Mary at the end of the half." VMI's comeback attempt was loo little, too late in the fourth quarter as the Keydets scored twice. Scales engineered drives of 83 and 70 yards, both of which ended in touchdown passes to tight end Dan Lyle. Lyle finished those drives with catches of 26 and 45 yards. Scales turned in a fine performance, rushing for 143 yards on 20 carries and passing for 163 yards, but also threw 3 interceptions at times when his team moved the ball.

In the first game, ASU came on strong, playing good at the net and showing excellent defense. ASU excelled in serving as well. In a complete earn effort, the Lady Apps threw the Lady TigeTS jff balance and won 15-5. In game two, the Lady Tigers pulled together and played moresolid volleyball. ASU was strong, but Clemson rallied ahead in the end to w in, 14 -16. In the third game, ASU came out strong while Clemson seemed to have a lack of intensity. ASU capitalized on key defensive plays and dominated the game to win. 15-7, taking a 2-1 lead in the match. Despite the strong effort of Appalachian in the fourth game,Clemson overpowered the Lady Apps and won 9-15, forcing a crucial game five. The fifth game featured strong play by Clemson which was simply too much for ASU as the Lady Tigers won 7-15. ASU was led by the efforts.of seniors Kim Nelson, Keen, Holley Shamburger and Sandra Love. The Lady Mountaineers will host a group of home games beginning tomorrow night with a SouthemConfcrencecontest with Davidson's Lady Wildcats. The contest will be held in Varsity Gym beginning at 7 p.m. Appalachian golfers nearing end of fall season By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor Both the Appalachian State women's and men's golf squads are approaching the end of their fall seasons as each squad has one match remaining this year. In women's action, the Lady Apps travelled to Greenville, SC, this past weekend tocompete in the Furman Invitational. Furman, one of the only other universities in the Southern Conference offering varsity competition in women's golf, took the meet title and the indi vidual title as well. The Lady Paladins were led by French exchange student, Kristel Mourgue-d' Algue who posted a three round score of 215. Appalachian State was led by senior Amy Mouser with a total of 259. Kim O'Briant also added depth for ASU with a score of 269 in the match. Prior to Furman, the Lady Mountaineers posted an eighth place finish as they travelled to Harrisonburg, VA, on Oct. 9-11 to compete in the James Madison Invitational. Methodist College took the team honors while James Madison's Niki Crist won the individual competition with a two-round score of 156. Mouser led Appalachian with a score of 181 followed by O'Briant with 190. The Lady Apps also competed in the Duke Invitational in Durham on Oct. 1 -4 where Mouser totalled a two-round score of 177 to lead ASU. Duke and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill tied to take the team honors while Duke's Stephanie Sparks won the individual title with a score of 146. The Lady Apps will round out the fall season at the College of Charleston Invitational in Kiawah Island, SC, on Nov. 5-8 In men s action, the Mountaineers placed fourth in the Tom O'Briant Memorial Tournament at Guilford College in Greensboro on Oct. 4-6. Senior Jay Jamieson led ASU as he finished second overall wi th a two round score of 147, only one stroke behind the individual winner, Michael Barrett of Glenville State College. Jamieson shot a tournament low of 70 in the second round of play in Greensboro. Senior Kyle Kauffman also provided a strong Appalachian effort, finishing 15th with a score ol 155. The Mountaineers will return from Buics Creek today where they are participating in the Campbel Invitational. ASU's final match this fall will be a James Madison on Oct. 30-Nov. 1. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 20. 1992 Late Mountaineer goal evens score as ASU ties Marshall, j, taineers were whistled for a hand ball to set up the penalty kick. By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State and Marshall battled to a 1-1 tie in Southern Conference soccer action Sunday, moving the Mountaineers to 5-7-1 on the season, in­ cluding a 1-3-1 mark in the league. The Thundering Herd is now 2-10-1, after snapping their six-match losing streak. The Herd struck first when Ryan LaPointe scored on a penalty kick at the 16:14 mark in the first half. The Moun­ Appalachian tied the contest just three minutes into the second half when Jason Flassing scored from 12 yards out. Brian Cone picked up the assist. Despite a combined 15 shots in the 30minute overtime period, neither team managed a goal. Appalachian freshman goalie Jason Hockstra saved a career high 11 shots on the day, keeping the net clean after the penalty goal by LaPointe. "The Marshall match was a lot like the way our entire season has gone," said ASU Head Coach Art Rex. "We had some great opportunities to win and just didn t convert. We had three or four good scoring chances with Scott Griffith and David Terry and just couldn't convert. We had three or four good scoring chances with Scott Griffith and David Terry and justcouldn'tconvert. We are disappointed with a tie because we did not win, but at the same time we feel very fortunate to not have lost. It is always very tough to play at Marshall. Last Wednesday, the Mountaineers droppedanon-conferencematch atUNC- Greensboro, 5-2. the loss was just the first in the last five matches for Appalachian. Darren Powell was the offensive hero for the Spartans, netting a hat trick on the evening. Powell scored two first half goals, then added UNC-G's third score at the 72:48 mark. That goal gave the Spartans a 3-1 lead. UNC-G led only 2-1 at half-time as DaveTerTy scored with six seconds left in the half off an assist from Greg Rhinehardt. The Apps opened the second half with several scoring chances but were unable to capitalize on any of the opportunities. After Powell broke free in the ASU backfield, Greg Schmid added the fourth Spartan goal just 34 seconds later that put and i wedidagoodjobof nces T chances early in the secn„'aT! the contest out of reach.

Comments like, "You missed the flag, again!","Quit watching the other games!", "How did you get to call this game?", "Are you blind?", and "Ref sucks!" were nothing short of what he deserved for what he displayed. I realize that officiating is not the simplest task in the world. I also realize that this is intramurals, not varsity athletics, and that everyone needs to start somewhere. HALF-TIME DOOR PRIZES BEACH & SHAG NITE JOIN AND LEARN According to Intramural Officials Supervisor, Scott Kleban, there are two ways that one can qualify to* be a referee. Individuals can enroll in PE-1501 (Officiating) or they can participate in clinics which explain the rules and regulations of the activity. However, continual involvement with the program by such characters will only result in a gradual downfall of the entire program. I recommend that each official be required to pass a test before being allowed to call thesport inquestion and that those who fail to do so, including individuals such as this "line judge," be referred to Watagua County Pee Wee Teeball League where their IQ of the game will be welcomed. THURSDAY "GO COUNTRY WITH GARRETT' TUESDAY Every official, even the top-notch ones in professional leagues, makes a mistake...but if they were as careless and brainless as this representative, athletes like Charles Barkley and coaches like Mike Ditka would have their heads on silver platters. In crucial games, like the one in question, Kleban noted that he looks for experienced officials so that the games may be called as accurately as possible. This was not the case here, as the person in question is a member of the PE-1501 officiating class which mandates acertain number of hours officiating for a passing grade, similar to a lab in a science course. Intramural Activities Coordinator Jim Eubanks explained that his office welcomes all comments concerning intramural activities and that situations such as this are not ignored and are dealt with accordingly. "When pebple who work for our office cross the line to nonacceptable standards, they are dealt with properly. I have officiated in the past and we try to run the program to the best of our ability and we certainly do not need individuals who give us a bad name," Eubanks said. Intramural Activities is a high quality program at Appala­ chian and is a frequent recipient of neglect. It is rare that we praise the efforts of Eubanks and his staff who work hard to make intramurals the success that it has become on the campus.

Students demonstrate strong,Brave support Appalachian students have again shown that they have little if any school irit for athletics. When the Atlanta Braves won the game that sent them into e World Series last week, students cheered all around campus and out into the •eets. However, last year when Appalachian won the Southern Conference, jdcnts responded with a great big ho-hum. After the final score was announced last Wednesday, students poured out of eir dorm rooms to shout and cheer in celebration of the Braves' victory, udentsran through campus, up King Street and back to the Duck Pond where any students jumped or were pushed into the water. By the end of the night, inford Mall was littered with beer cans and had white toilet paper hanging )m every tree limb, and the goalpost from the stadium was laying on the field. There are many different ways to show excitement in celebration; but the ost effective way docs not involve destruction of other people's property, eating on dumpstersand tearing goalposts out of the ground show immaturity, Ebt enthusiasm.Celebration should be combined with an ounce of responsibil- JL night proved ASU students have the potential to show spirit. The iThat ^(oblem is that theOnly team students choose to support is'over 350 miles away. ASU athletes work long hours to play for this university. Most athletes spend least three or four hours a day in practice in addition to a full course load, any athletes give up the majority of their weekend to travel to away games •d attend team meetings. These students deserve at least the same amount of irit and support we show the Braves. iere will be many more home athletic events this year that students can id to show their school spirit.

COMMENTARY TUESDAY, October 20, 1992 Ross Perot will leave a lasting impression By ROBERT SCHMOLL Appalachian Columnist In 1992, America is simply looking for answers. Members of every gender, race, religion and tax bracket, are tired of rhetoric, mud-slinging, liars and thieves; and for all citizens, this election year and the choices we all make must have a greater effect than ever before So what are the facts? Even these are difficult to decipher from the fast-paced, negative advertising cam­ paigns that both major candidates employ, that have become the rule rather than the exception in most politi­ cal contests, from governor of this dusty, tobacco-ridden state to the presidency. What we do know for sure is that the United States has, during other eras, provided more prosperous times for its people, and that nearly everyone is feeling the pinch of an ailing economy. In a more topical sense, we as college students can feel the fiscal crunch in tuition costs, a decline in financial aid and the scarcity of jobs as we graduate and enter the marketplace. Enter three candidates (When the Libertarians have even three percent of the popular vote I'll discuss them.) The incumbent, George Bush, the challenger, Bill Qinton, and brash political freshman Ross Perot all claim to have these elusive answers, but will we see an appreciable difference in the direction this country is headed? Bush, relaxed during his appearance in the First de­ bate, stressed change and reform as much as either of his challengers, but should a Republican candidate desire reform after twelve years of a Republican controlled White House? Does it follow that such alterations are in order after that party has had more than a decade to write its agenda into law? Perhaps. But perhaps not. Maybe Clinton's answers are those that we seek, but the Republicans have mounted a largely successful campaign against his image. Negative ads from the people who brought you Willie Horton and the Dukakis debacle of 1988 have cast doubt into America's minds concerning the integrity of a man who would be the first Democratic president since Jimmy Carter. Enter Ross Perot. Determined, self-made and straight forward—refreshing, at least at First glance. Unfortu­ nately, even Perot's freedom from thedogma of a major political party, and his "clean out the bam before it catches Fire"approach at domestic affairs are at the very least negated by his questionable decision to drop out of-then re-enter--the presidential race. His confusing selection of the hapless Admiral James Siockdale for vice president and his complete lack of political expe­ rience create skepticism among voters. The foggy points in both his domestic policy and his aggressive five-year plan to erase the deficit appear to be stumbling blocks as well. Additionally, Perot would need to overcome the media, as well as the general populace's opinion that he lacks the experience to be an effective political leader. Although all these factors arc essential, and they seem to indicate that Perot is not a legitimate candidate for president, it is possible that his candidacy may benefit Americans during this election, and in future presiden­ tial campaigns. In this sense, Ross Perot could be Socrates' gadfly in a considerably more current context. Sure, the issues are different now, and the government has watchdog agencies and special interest groups to keep it in line. But Perot, by doubting the wisdom of his opponents and seeking a more simple and honest future for Americans is arguably analogous to the great philosopher, buzzing around a sleepy, lethargic political beast, and annoying it into action. Neither Bush nor Clinton could avoid conceding sev­ eral points to Perot during the first debate: the need for drastic social and economic reform, the need for allevi­ ating gridlock in congress, and the need to al least address the national debt. Perot conducted himself well in light of an earlier statement that he would decline to answer questions that did not directly pertain to his candidacy, and came armed with a battery of loose one-liners and quips that high­ lighted his competitors' restrictive party affiliation and share in creating a potential economic disaster. Buzz, Buzz. Indeed, Perot is the realist of the 1992 campaign, and just recently has made himself considerably more viable in the eyes of the American electorate. While Bushrepeated emphatically that"this is America," (suggesting that somehow all things are inherently better in the United States than they appear) and refuted Clinton's claim that we are "coming apart at the seams," Perot countered and questioned whether Bush's experience in "running up a trillion-dollar-debt" was really the kind of experience we want in the White House. Buzz, Buzz. All this political lolly-gagging may not amount to anything more than nine or ten percentage points on November 3, but Ross Perot has made an undeniable impact on American politics. His close questioning and realistic priorities have altered the agenda of 1992 campaign, and made a strong argument for the legitimacy of an independent candidate in the years to come. 'General admission' doesn't mean 'reserved' Conflict in the student section on Oct. 3 Dear Editor: I am writing in complaint to an inci­ dent that happened this past Saturday at the Homecoming game. This incident was between several members of the ASU Wesley Foundation as well as other stu­ dents, and members of both Delta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha. My friends and I arrived at the stadium in order to get good seats for the game. We found some seats on the 50-yard line in the student section. After sitting there for 15-20 minutes several members of both Delta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha demanded that we move on the basis that our seats were saved for them. We re­ fused, stating that it was our understand­ ing the student sections were general admissjon and seats were obtainable on a "first-come-first-serve" basis. They left and minutes later returned withmembers of both the WataugaCounty Sheriff's Department and Boone Police Department. These officers demanded that we move on the basis that the two frater­ nities had indeed reserved the seats. We asked the officers to give us a justified reason why the seats were reserved.They did not do so, so we remained in our seats. Later, however, we moved back several rows in an attempt to compromise. First of all, I am very upset by the actions of a few brothers of Delta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha. They angered me, my friends and other students that were sitting in that section.They did not, at any time, peacefully ask us to move.They just demanded. This type of rude behavior, I'm sure, is not what any fraternities would like to be known for. Secondly, I am angered at the way both the Watauga County Sheriff's Depart­ ment and Boone Police Department handled the situation. When the officers arrived at the scene, not one of them would explain to me or my friends why we were being told to move.They said the fraternities were right, the seats were re­ served, and if we didn't move they would move us. This type of one-sided, narrowed-minded arbitrating is totally and completely uncalled for and does not set a very good example for either law en­ forcement agency. It seems very ironic that these officers will go out of their way to enforce reserved seating, then over­ look the amount of people who come to the game intoxicated and those who con­ sume alcohol in the stadium during the game. Finally, there were several visitors from the Juan Wesley Seminary in Monterey, Mex ico accompanying me and my friends. These students were sponsored by both the ASU Wesley Foundation and the uni­ versity to learn more about our culture as well as to interact with American stu­ dents. They were extremely intimidated by the verbal argument and the uniformed officers. I am very embarrassed, both personally and as a student here at ASU, that these guests were treated in such a manner and that they had to witness such childlike behavior demonstrated by both Delta Chi and Lambda Chi Alpha frater­ nities. Warren Bevacqua Wesley Foundation Member ASU Box 15573 Highlights from Oct. 15 Presidential Debate Edited by BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor BUSH CLINTON PEROT I am not for national registration of firearms. Some of the states that have the toughest anti-gun laws have the highest rates of crime. I am for the right [to keep and bear arms.] I support the right to keep and bear arms. But, I believe we have to have some way of checking handguns before they are sold to check the criminal history, the mental history, and the age of people who are buying them. I support the Brady Bill, which would require a waiting period [for handgun purchases.] I also think we need to put restrictions on assault weapons, whose only purpose is to kill. The Brady Bill is a timid step in the right direction, but it won't fix it [the inner-city gun problem.] So why pass a law that won't fix it? We have become so preoccupied with the rights of the criminal, that we have forgotten the rights of the innocent. QUESTION: Please state your position on term limits. I strongly support term limits for members of the United States Congress. I believe it would return the government closer to the people. We've got to do something about it, and I think you get a certain bureaucratic arrogance if people stay there too long. I know they're popular, but I'm against them. I believe it would pose a real problem for a lot of smaller states who are having a hard time making sure their interests arc heard. Secondly, I think it would increase the influ­ ence of nonelected congressional staff members, who have too much influence already. If you put term limits in, and don't reform government, you won't get the benefit you thought you would. It takes both. We need to do the reforms and the term limits. After we reform [the government], it won't be a lifetime career opportu­ nity. Good people will go serve and then go back to their homes. QUESTION: How can we create high-paying jobs with the educa­ tional system we have, and what would you do to change that system? The America 2000 program. It literally says to re-invent the schools. I believe we have got to get the power into the hands of the teachers, not the teachers' union. Let's give parents the choice of a public, private or religious school. The programs that we have been trying, where you control every­ thing, and mandate it from Wash­ ington, don't work. We would provide matching funds to states to teach everyone with a job to read and to give everyone with a job a high school diploma, in big places, on the job. We would provide two-year apprenticeship programs for high school graduates who don't go to college. We would open the doors to college to high school graduates without regards to income. We would fully fund the Head Start program. I would also have an aggressive program of school reform. Public schools exist for the benefit of the children. By and large, [educational administration] should be local. The more local, the better. You need small schools, not big schools. In a small school, every­ body is somebody; individualism is very importanL We need neighbor­ hood schools. It is terrible to bus tiny little children across town. We need world class teachers, and world class books. QUESTIONS c <9 QUESTION: Where do you stand on gun control?

The meeting began the Town Comprehensive Plan with environ­ mental issues dominating the discussion. The plan outlines Boone's goals for the next five years. Bob Snead, chairman of the Comprehensive PlanningCommittee, laid the meeting was "absolutely vital" to get input from the citizens. The committee's goal was to see what the community wanted to do. The meeting defined "the direction the town should jo," said Mayor Velma Burnley. The immediate results of the meeting ndicated an interest in environmental isiucs. Recycling incentives, more convelient and plastic recycling came up more han once. Citizens also showed interest n cleaner water and more parks and peenways. Citizens showed concern for preserv­ ing the small-town quality of Boone and making downtown Boone a historic area. They also offered ideas for reducing traf­ fic. An increase in cycling comes with de­ creasing the numbers of cars. Bikers need safer routes. Citizens indicated a need for more bike lanes on busy streets and more bike racks in downtown areas. Safety is also a concern for pedestri ans. Citizens wanted more sidewalks and cross­ walks. Busy streets,such as Rivers Street, were targeted for pedestrian overpasses. The citizens split into several groups in order to voice their ideas. A member of the Planning Committee led each group and wrote ideas from the group on a flip board. After group discussions, the citi­ zens voted on the ten best ideas. Each citizen received ten dots and then placed them beside chosen ideas. The next step for the committee in­ volved grouping similar ideas. Since there were several groups, many ideas See CITIZENS page 2 Appalachian Photo by KarU Smith ST UDLNIS INTERESTED IN BOONE: As part of the Town Meeting, Appalachian students place a star beside the project they feel is need most in Boone. The town meeting Dlan which outlines projects for the next five years. kicked off the Boone Tow Congressman answers questions By Adam Hatch Assistant News Editor Incumbanl Steve Nealspoke on Sanford Mall Tuesday to a group of 175 students, faculty and Boone citizens. Neal ad­ dressed the crowd in a question and answer session that lasted from 5:00 to 6:00. Neal addressed questions concern­ ing the budget, health reform, environ­ ment and education. Congressman Steve Neal (D) Several candidates for public office attended the speech. Among those in at­ tendance were Phyllis Thrasher, Cilen Hodges, Wade Wolmoth and Judy Hunt. When asked by an audience member why he will not debate Richard Burr on campus Neal said "I feel that the debates have degenerated to name calling." In advocation of his apprenticeship idea Neal says that there are opportunities for college students to learn in the real world through the use of businesses that take interns and train them in their trade. This program would put more experience and skill into the hands of the young college graduates. Taking a sharp poke at President Bush, Mr. Neal said that "our system (of gov­ ernment) requires working together and when you get a president that can't work with Congress it is time to get a new President." Neal supports abortion rights. He also advocates a national energy policy start­ ing with a solar bank and other resources that are renewable and less environmen­ tally impacting. When asked about his stand on nuclear energy, Neal said that he would support i t as long as there was a way to contain the nuclear by-products of the fission pro­ cess. Neal has and will continue to support a balanced budget amendment. Neal feels that if the United States can spend under 20% of the G.N.P. then the budget will be easier to balance. Neal has refused to sign the Relief Pledge, which states that if a represents tive can not balance the budget in two terms that he will resign and leave con­ gress. Neal likened this action to quitting because he believes you never can tell how the other representatives will vote. Neal was slightly fazed by the action of some students when they held up a Bun See NEAL page 2 rade appeals and health plan discussed during faculty senate IDAWN MCGUIRE PPalachian Staff Writer process for appealing grades was Rested to the Faculty Senate at their ttober meeting Monday. Welfare of Students Committee, ' 'he aid of Tom Beaman, ' academic affairs chairperson, for"^the process, which would re­ e quire a written complaint and documen­ tation. "We (SGA) want to work with the faculty on deciding a process so the SGA and Faculty Senate proposals are the same and are agreeable to both faculty and students," said Beaman. Specifically, the process suggested would only be available for an appeal on the final semester grade. Students would firsthave to make their complaint to the professor and thedepartment chair. Then a formal written appeal would have to be signed by the professor and department chair and be submitted to an appeals committee. The committee would consist of three students, three faculty and one other fac­ ulty member to preside over the commit­ tee and cast a deciding vote if necessary. The committee would meet once a semester to hear appeals. In other business, NC State Represen­ tative Judy Hunt spoke to the senate on the state employees' health plan. Hunt explained that thestate employee health plan requires a SI30 million bud­ get, but thelegislature reduced the amount of funding to S80 million in 1992. The S80 million was funded by an increase in the cost of family coverage from Si 50-$215. The remain­ ing S50 million of the necessary SI30 million was cut by reducing some ben­ efits. The patients' co-payment was raised from 10 to 20 percent. A S10 doctor's office surcharge and a S50 emergency room surcharge was implemented. These reductions in benefits cut S20 million. Another S30 million was cut with the aid of hospitals and a new drug plan. Hospitals give state employees a 5 per­ cent discount on normal charges. This discount was agreed upon for a tempo­ rary period. The new drug plan would reimburse patients 90 percent of the average w holesale cost instead of the actual price paid. Hunt stressed the need for a national health care plan and warned that with health care costs rising 20 percent every year, people can expect to pay more for less benefits.

P^ate Page 9 Steve Neal, Democratic candidate for 5th district congressional seat, addressed the SGA senate at Tuesday's meeting. Neal began by defining what his priori­ ties would be if he were re-elected. Al­ though he listed balancing the federal budget and the economy as top issues, Neal also stressed health care reform, supporting private insurance reforms rather than a national health care system. "I think we can build on the private insurance system, the key element being to control costs. All insurance companies deal with doctors and hospitals differ­ ently and this must be streamlined and simplified," said Neal. Neal responded to questions about his stand on the environment by saying that he was interested in every aspect of pre­ serving the quality of air, land and water. Neal also said he would encourage any and all alternative energy sources, spe­ cifically the potential of solar energy. When asked to separate himself from his opponent Richard Burt, Neal said he could not speak for Burr, but cited his own record as evidence of his beliefs. "I don't believe in making promises, but anyone can look at my record and see what I've been doing. I'll pretty much be continuing on those lines, so if they (vot­ ers) like what I've been doing, they will vote for me," said Neal. Bun has also been invited to speak to the senate. In other business, senate approved the following legislative appointments. Bryan Stanley was approved for chairper­ son pro-temp, Ray Paschal was approved for sergeant-at-arms, and Tpm Beaman was approved for parliamentarian. An environmental committee, which was a part of the Gurley-Duncan plat­ form, is in the organizing process, with a first meeting planning in two weeks. Doug Duncan, student body vice presi­ dent and president of SGA senate, and Dan Gurley, student body president, met with Jim Rice, Environment and Safety Director, to discuss the committee's pri­ orities. Duncan said that several issues were brought up, but the number one priority would be awareness of recycling proce­ dures. Rice will speak to the senate dur­ ing next week's meeting. Gurley told senators that there were five committees with openings available to any student. The student union advi­ sory committee, health services commit­ tee, forum and lecture committee, recre­ ation sports committee and outdoor edu­ cation committee all have openings. The Academic Affairs committee has been working on the dead week proposal and several senators reported positive feedback from students. The Community Affairs committee informed senators the United Way drive was not doing well and asked for more donations. Duncan promptly donated five dollars, telling senators that if he could give, they certainly could. In last week's meeting, senate ap­ proved the following legislative cabinet appointments: Tom Beaman. Academic Affairs chair; Chad Schneckenbutger, Student Affairs chair; Amy Carver, OffCampus Affairs chair; Brad Moorefield, Community Affairs chair; Meagan Jones, Rules Committee chair; and Keith Van Wagner, Rules Committee assistant chair. Compiled by SUZ3 LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Five vehicles in South lot and one ve­ hicle in Greenwood lot were broken into Tuesday before Fall Break. A pair of Speakers and tools were stolen from the vehicles. The tools have been recovered. Appalachian Police were able to catch the culprits because security cameras in the parking areas documented the crime. Three non-students werecharged with six Counts of breaking and entering and lar­ ceny. A juvenile was charged in juvenile court with breaking and entering and lar­ ceny in the same incidence. Police found the four people arrested had committed similar crimes at Lees-McRae and possi­ bly elsewhere in Watauga County. One of the persons was a Lees-McRae stu­ dent. Illegal weapons and drug-related para­ phernalia were found in two rooms in East residence hall during routine room checks last Wednesday. Police confis­ cated a BB gun, hunting knives, hatchets, and other related hunting weapons along with drug-related contraband in a subfloor level room. In a second floor room. illegal weapons wereconfiscated. Earlier that day a pellet gun was confiscated in a fourth floor Frank room. Citations and referrala-tffstudent court were given to the student involved. Two incidences of breaking and enter ing were reported in East residence hall over Fall Break. An unknown person climbed through an open window in the RD's apartment. An estimated $311 worth of possessions were reported taken. An other room in East was unlawfully en-1 tered, but nothing was taken. The inci dence is still under investigation. Two cases of illegal solicitation on campus occured within the week. ASU administration must approve all forms of campus solicitation. The parties had not gone through university approval and were given trespassing citations. Police or dered the persons to leave campus and warned that they could be charged with trespassing if they came on campus again. ASU police recommend that all students not buy from off-campus solicitors and report any solicitators to officials imme­ diately.

The video features interviews with na­ tives, economic experts, andenvironmen­ tal experts. By SUa LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Appalachian State University lecturer Kevin Balling will premiere his indepen­ dently produced "Voices in the Garden" tonight. "Voices in the Garden" is a documentary on the Cree and Inuit (Es­ kimo) peoples' struggle "to protect their homeland and way of life tlireatened by the world's largest hydroelectric project" according to the video's invitation. The 28-minute documentary depicts the Cree and Inuit plight in opposing the governmental project called the James Bay Power Project. TheCanadian project will harness Quebec's 20 rivers. Accord­ ing to the Indians, the project will devas­ tate their homeland and way of life by altering nature's rivers. "A good friend of mine was working for the Sierra Club as part of the James Bay task force. She was appointed chair­ person and through talking with her and finding out about the issue, it intrigued me," explained Balling. "I thought it would make an interesting topic, so she took me up there in October of 1990 to shoot." The documentary points out the pos­ sible future consequences and the history of the project. "Voices in the Garden" depicts environmental and social destruc­ According to a synopsis by Balling the "video uses The James Bay Project as a model to address the broader issues of genocide, human rights, corporate and government injustice, and the abandon­ ment of the natural world in our spiritual lives." The conflict depicted is between the right of the natives to be able to continue their way of life and the government's needs that will take away these aspects of their life. "It is unacceptable in the 21st century to be able to have doctrined a 'move over, Indian' attitude," said Cree Grand Chief Matthew Coone in the video. "Voices in the Garden" will premiere tonight at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall of Broyhill Music Center. The public is invited. Balling was able to produce the piece through grants and support from Greenpeace, the Beldon Fund, the Benton Foundation, the Sierra Club, The Na­ tional Endowment for the Arts, the North Carolina Arts Council, and Appalachian State University. The piece was shot in fall of 1990 and spring 1991 and was released in Sept. 1992. VISION IN THE GARDEN: The Vision in the Garden visualizes the Cree peoples struggle against the Canadian government. 1 Citizens Continued from page 1 repeated. The ideas get priority accord­ ing to number of votes received. At this time the ideas are not formulated into a plan; they are "just good ideas," accord­ ing to Snead. "Our elected officials need to realize they have a mandate from the people in the community,"said David L. Robertson, director of Student Programs. "And we have to be there with our commitment and our pocketbooks if we are really going to make this happen." Many citizens pointed out that while some of the ideas will cost money, others are free. Picking up trash, volunteering to helpplant trees and energy efficiency will actually save money. Until all the votes are counted, the council cannot make recommendations, but the council hopes to have a draft plan by spring. Another open meeting will be held at that time to show results and keep the plan on track with thedesires of Boone residents. Several Appalachian students attended themeeting. "It is representative of things we hear at ASU," said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vicechancellor for business affairs. "We have a very active, enthusi­ astic student body, faculty and adminis­ tration." Hunter Schofield, committee member and ASU student, was pleased with the number of students at the meeting. "If students don't get involved in the town now, said Schofield, "then they're cer­ tainly not going to be able to influence the way it develops later." Aronda Dunlap Junior As an African American female, voting is important because we can make a difference if we all get on one accord. Voting today is for the future.' The city council h ired Glenn R. Harbcc k Associates, a professional planning firm, to assist with the plan's development. Glenn R. Harbeck led the meeting and will continue to help the city council until the plan is complete. Tracy White Sophomore As a minority at ASU, I encourage all Afro-American students to vote so we can make that difference. Alex Cokk Sophomore I think people should vote, but the people that get the message from MTV (Rock the Vote) don't need to vote. They aren't informed if they're only listening to MTV.

SPROUSE Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Dave Warren, a Pueblo Indian from New Mexico, gave an insightful presentation on modem American Indian life on Sept. 29. His presentation included a description of past wrongs the indig­ enous peoples of the'Americas have endured, and ended in the description of the new hope-filled era we have now entered. Warren began his discussion o f the Nativ e Ameri­ can people by describing that first contact with European man which began generations of struggle for the Indians. As Warren explained, it was "con­ tact for which it (the Indian nation) was utterly unprepared." It seemsclear that European man was more into the modem era. According to Warren, the policy of the American government until 1975 towards the American Indian could easily be summed up by the words of Theodore Roosevelt in describing the Dawes Act as a "mighty pulverizing engine to break up the tribal mass."This "breaking up" of the tribal community was accomplished in many ways. First, traditional tribal lands were taken from the Indian people and redistributed to various other groups. According to Warren, by 1934, two-thirds of all Indian lands had passed out of tribal ownership. Another way of destroying the Indian culture came about through assimilation. In order to achieve this mainline readjustment of the Indians, the Indian children were sent to off-reservation boarding schools in order to have the tradi­ tions of the tribe eradicated from them. Warren y LISA LAUGHLIN ppalachian Et Cetera Editor By JASON GILBERT Special to the Appalachian Meet a couple of bumbling kidnappers, a troupe of confused actors and the women of Shakespeare's plays when Appalachian State University's theatre and dance department presents "A Night of One Acts." The student-directed plays will be pre­ sented Oct.15-17 at 8 each evening in Greer Arena Theatre. The first show of the evening is "The Ransom of Red Chief by Brain Krai. The show, appropriate for young audiences, is based on O. Henry's classic short story. It is a hilarious tale of two bumbling kidnappers, played by Brian Moore and Brian Cable, who fallpreytotheiryoung"victim." They attempt to make their fortunes by demand­ ing ransom for "a two-legged skyrocket named Jenny Dorset," played by Georgia Sawyer. Jenny insists she's an Indian chief, and is definitely not a typical sweet little girl. Jenny's father's reply to ransom demands results in more trouble for the kidnappers. The play is directed by senior Kelly Doherty. Lisa Weber is stage manager. "Impromptu" by Tad Mosel is the second play presented. Four actors enter a dimly lit stage with I w h y c f v j f l f X g J p f uon dijy bs,a What do we actually gain by voting besides owing that we exercised our freedom as Ameri ns?Thc only thing I could think of is that maybe u could use the long line excuse to skip Botany, ooks like we should get some sort of coupon for m break if we take part in shaping America, aybe Pizza Hut could get in on the deal and offer •ction day lunch specials, can't help but wonder, when I look at the ididates and try to decipher between truth are" s, how much elections have really changed.

As the stage brightens, the lives and relationshipsof Ernest, a veteran actor, Winifred, a character actress, Lora, the ingenue, andTony, anovice, are explored. The characters are played by Chris Graham, Melanie Fabri, Karen Wilhelm and Peter Finnegan. When the stage darkens, each knows a little more about the others and themselves. The show is directed by Jason Stewart. Stage manager is Derek King. "When Shakespeare's Ladies Meet" by Charles George is the final show of the night. It is the humorous story of what might happen should five of the bard's heroines meet in Juliet's garden to warn her of the potential pitfalls of her romance with Romeo. Juliet is played by Tara Madson. Katherine, Desdemona, Ophelia, Portia and Cleopatra lend their advice and end up receiving advice as well. The ladies arc played by Chrissy Anderson, Amy Lufly, Tracey Tebow, Tricia Falkner and Randy Dinovo. The play is directed by Julie Garber. Jenny Walton is stage manager.

Appalachian's Foreign Language Department offers English as a second language for exchange students By KATE HESS Assistant Et Cetera Editor When people think of taking a foreign, or sec­ ond, language at school, they may have a difficult time deciding which one is right for them. There's Spanish, French, German and a variety of others to choose from. However, one never thinks of En­ glish as a second language, but to some it is. Dr. Richard McGarry, from the Appalachian English Language Institute (APPELI) believes in the importance of treating English as a second language. He's helping in the start of a new program this year, entitled English as a Second Language (ESL), primarily for international students and to add cultural diversity to our cam­ pus. ESL is a year-round program with a summer session lasting from 2-5 weeks. The fees are set by ASU and they include housing and food, and it works out to be cheaper than regular summer school sessions. There arc fourteen students from three different continents who all speak different languages. The program is new this year, therefore there are still many elements that need to be worked out. There will be two ESL classes available next se­ mester, and more will be added, depending on the success of the program. Visitors will be welcome, for they may become students if they feel comfort­ able enough. ESL isscl f-supporting, and one of its main goals right now is to get the word out about it. McGarry has done this by both brochures and word of mouth, for people seem eager to leant more. "Everyone has been real cnthusiastic,"McGarry said about the support for the program. Commu­ nity members are welcome to participate, for the program wants to serve Boone, not only ASU students. The ESL program was discussed for awhile before finally being put into action. McGarry spent time working at a university in Guam, and then came back to the United States with some ideas. He talked to the administration and made a proposal that would even allow graduate students to have the opportunity to teach this summer. The program is designed to teach students all language skills so that they have a broader sense of the language. Students will be divided up into smaller groups and will practice writing, reading and speaking skills. The small group atmosphere will give students a chance to benefit from more individualized teaching. Students may also be paired with English-speaking volunteers to work on a one-to-one basis. The summer program, which will begin this coming summer, will not only teach students the language, but will give them an opportunity to enjoy the mountains. Trips to Grandfather Moun­ tain are on the agenda, along with golf, tennis, and "iy room mates and I watched the debates, we c up our own scoring system to help us keep ' • With all the media attention on this year's a'°n.

The superintendent's name was Richard Pratt, and his school's purpose as he saw it was to "kill the Indian in him (the student) and save the man." All of these institutions were an attempt to destroy what Warren says are the main purposes of the tribes, that is, to seek preservation, to enhance social development, and to understand where you came from and where you are going. WatTen brought his speech to a conclusion by pointing to the new measures that are being taken in order to ensure that Indian culture will survive. According to Warren, there have been four major events in modem limes that are beginning to turn One Acts are this weekend You've probably had it up to your hair with oting, candidates and elections, so here is someiing to add to your pile. Why don't more people ate? It takes no genius to pull a lever inside the pting booth, yet the problem here is time.

Your children have take lime out of their own lives to bring you food id run your errands. Are you actually going to ask cm to take the extra time to take you to vote? Voting by phone would be out of the question, ut everyone has a phone, and the lines would be d up all day. Who has time to keep redialing? oting by mail is also impractical. Elections would en have potential for dishonesty and inaccuracs. There seems to be no better system than what e already have.

W arren described the years of misunderstanding which followed the discovery of America and its native peoples. The Spanish of the 1500s held debates over whether or not the Indians were des­ tined to be enslaved as the inferiors of the Spanish, or whether the Indians were indeed the equals of themselves. Even though a papal declaration in the 1500s staled that the Indians were "truly men," Warren expressed the concern that this discussion has in many ways not yet been settled. After discussing this first encounter with the Indians, Warren took his presentation on a differ­ ent heading. Instead of focusing on the destruction of Indian culture during the frontier era, he moved ..MOUtt icon TO THE FUTURE hiking trips, depending on the interests of the students. These social activities are planned to "make the environment comfortable," according to McGarry. The Foreign Language Department is support­ ive of the program, and will let the students use its language lab. The main goal of this program is to establish teaching English as a second language, and to train teachers in the field as well. It will give teachers skills and methods to use with Limited English Proficiency Students (LEPS). The two phases of the program are the APPELI, which trains LEPS and other participants, and then the certification or masters in TESL. "I envision a regular program through one of the programs... and I see this program offering work­ shops for teachers in the field," McGarry said. The University of Hawaii is the only other school doing something similar to this, so it is definitly a pro­ gram that is unique at ASU. �JThe Appalachian. Thursday. October I5 /<X>7 Book dedicated to Dr. Derrick By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. William "Buck" Derrick, the Di­ rector of Medical Services here at Appa­ lachian, was presented a book dedicated to him to commemorate his involvement with the physically impaired. The hook is composed of descriptions of the accessibility of the buildings on campus for people who are disabled. It details how easily people with disabilities might use elevators, restrooms, water fountains, and other necessities. Dr. Richard Howe, the Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity Programs, presented the book to Derrick along with the authors, Kimberly Murdock and Clayton Haferkamp. Murdock and Haferkamp, who are stu­ dents at ASU, have been working on the book for approximately three months. To help thent with their research of the build­ ings, they were accompanied by Matthew Crisp, a fellow student. Crisp is physi­ cally disabled and was able to give them insight as to how easily accessible the buildings and grounds actually arc. Appalachian encourages disabled people to apply for admission, and it hopes to improve facilities to accomodate those students. Derrick highly deserves the dedication as he has devoted much of his own life to the disabled. "I'm very involved with the world of deafness," he said. Besides working for Appalachian Medical Services, Derrick has also been a team physician for the Deaf Olympics ever since 1977. Derrick has travelled all over the world to help with the games every four years. After adopting their first deaf child, the Derricks soon adopted a second deaf child. This child was a 13-year old girl from Korea. Derrick explained that in Korea, orphans had no future. "Their future is lied w ith their parents, especially if they're disabled," he said. Derrick is also involved in deaf minis­ try, and serves as an interpreter for the Ml. Vemon Baptist Church. He is also a coinstructor of a sign language class here at Appalachian with his wife. Derrick has been with Appalachian for 16 years. He had previously attended college in South Carolina, interned in Georgia, and was in the U.S. Armv in Japan. As if hisschedule weren't busy enough. Derrick has been a physician for the resi­ dents of the Mountain Rest Home since 1970. Looking for a place to set up his medi­ cal practice. Derrick and his wife trav elled to several towns. However, they knew they wanted to live in the moun­ tains. Derrick's wife is just as involved with the deaf as he is. She teaches deaf chil­ dren aged 1 to 3 in Morganton. She also makes home visits to the families of the children. Derrick and his wife first became inter­ ested in the hearing impaired when they adopted a deaf child. They quickly had to leam sign language and made it a signifi­ cant part of their lives. thought about," Derrick said. "We just asked about deafness, and it look off from there." "When I lived in Spartanburg, I loved that on a clear day you could see the mountains," he said. "1 decided that if 1 loved the mountains that much. I'm going to live in them." Although they had wanted to adopt a child, Derrick and his wife had not previ­ ously considered adopting someone who was deaf.

The second actoccurred in 1978, and is known as the American Indian Freedom of Reli­ gion Act. The third step in the right direc­ tion. Warren claims, is the National In­ dian Policy Center, created in 1990.

Mountaineer quarterback DJCampbell ihrew three touchdown passes in the pe­ riod including a 44-yard Hail Mary pass into the end zone where wide receiver Craig Styron caught the ball for the gamewinning touchdown. Styron, who was fiat on his back in the Dukes end zone, was the recipient of ( amphell s pass thrown into a crowded end zone. I have absolutely no idea what hap­ pened All I know is that I jumped into the pile, back-first, with the idea that, 'What the heck, maybe I can make something happen,'" Styron said.

Williams' first down pass was lipped by Mountaineer lineman Avery Hall and intercepted by linebacker Tony Wavis. Six plays later, Campbell ex­ ecuted the pass to Styron for the 27-21 victory. "I don't think that 1 could have written a better script for our guys," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said. A Appalachian State posted two shutouts last week to extend its winning streak to three, including a 2-0 win over Georgia Southern that gave the Mountaineers their first Southern Conference victory of the season. Appalachian now stands at 5-6 on the season, and 1-3 in the league. After opening the year by losing six of their first eight matches, the Mountaineers have come back to win three in a row. Freshman goalie Jason Hockstra was the hero last week, posting shutouts against High Point and Georgia Southern, both by 2-0 scores. High Point entered the contest with a 9-2-1 record and Georgia Southern came in unbeaten in league play thus far in the season. Hockstra, since taking over at goalie in the sixth game of the season, has posted three shutouts and picked up 39 saves. He has allowed just 10 goals in six games. "»• "Jasod his really pidyed well," Appa­ lachian State head coach Art Rex said. 'The last couple of games, he has really put up some impressive numbers." ASU was in control against High Point from the onset hammering shots at the Panther goal early andoften. ScottGriffith finally reaped the benefits of Appalachian's pressure, stealing a back pass and ripping a shot into the right corner of die net for a 1 -0 Mountaineer lead. I Appalachian Photo by Randy Rcinink HOOTERS SCORE FIRST LEAGUE WIN: Appalachian State shut out Southern Conference opponent, Georgia Southern, 2-0 to score their first SC win of the year. The Apps travel to Marshall on Oct. 18 before returning home to meet Campbell on Oct. 20. It look less than 10 minutes into the second half for Appalachian to score again. Kyle Stam played the ball down the side­ line to Brian Cone, who touched the ball to David Terrv in the box. Terry tucked the shot in the upper right comer to ice the match for the Mountaineers at 2-Oa "It was a good win for us," Rex said. "We still had trouble finishing some chances today, but I liked the pressure we put on High Point the entire game." Against the Eagles of Georgia Southem, the Mountaineers entered the contest with a 1-3 conference standing. One more loss in the SC this season will assure the Apps of only their second losing con­ ference slate in university history. ASU was unable to get anything going offensively in the first half, and went into halftime tied 0-0 with the Eagles. The Mountaineers finally broke the tie at the 68:42 mark in thegame whenTerry turned from 20 yards out and ripped a shot past Georgia Southern goalkeeper, Tim Boarman. The goal was the team-leading seventh of the year for Terry, who moved past John Nedd and into third place on the all-time scoring chart at Appalachian. Terry now has 34 career goals. Fourteen minutes afterTerry's recordsetting score, Ryan Anderson scored the First goal of his collegiate career with a header off a Peter Bondjuk comer kick. Bondjuk also picked up an assist on Terry's goal, giving him his first mul­ tiple-assist game of his career. The Mountaineer defense was superb all day, allowing just six Eagle shots on the goal. Georgia Southern had one golden opportunity to score when Stecn Larsen stole an Appalachian back pass and fired on an empty Mountaineer net. Larsen's shot, however, sailed high and wide. ASU returned to action last night with a road match at UNC-Grecnsboro. The Mountaineers will travel to Marshall on Oct. 18 before returning home to face Campbell on Oct. 20.

By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor lor this building than tearing it down. The university does not need to create a Busch Gardens of Boone on tpproximately one acre piece of land; nor do we need a new parking lot that would hold only a few cars. If we have to tear down the church, why don't we luild a Putt-putt, watcrslides and an outdoor swimming pool? It would be just is practical. 'ism' in the dark with your mouth bound and your hands tied to the gate of your university," wrote Jackie Spinner, Editor on Fellowship from Southern Illinois University, in The National College Magazine. A hate speech code is an inadequate and unconstitutional solution. Hey, I've got a suggestion! Maybe we should all practice a little courtesy, tact and respect for others. And if you don't like the "nice guy" approach, then consider this: If you absolutely disagree with someone's sexual preference, or you detest someone for their religious convictions, KEEP YOUR BIG MOUTH SHUT!! After living in the United Slates all our lives we've taken advantage of our right to speak out, and taken it for granted. What if we lived in a society where people got their lipschopped off, or their tongues cut out for speaking offensively? What if people were flogged at public whip­ ping posts for making racist or sexist comments? Wedon't think about the consequences of lite names we call people because as far as we 're concerned, there arc none. We say something willy about that "weird guy" and have a good laugh, then we forget the incident ever hapjjened. Does he forget? We can't ignore the fact that people disagree and sometimes offend one another in the process of expressing their differences of opinions. But this namecalling issue docs not constitute the involvement of the federal government or the violation of the First Amend­ ment. To the victims of verbal harassment: Keep your head up. If you arc satisfied and comfortable with who you are, then don't allow yourself to be intimidated. Chances are, you're not alone — find support among those with the same convictions. To the offenders: Bite your tongue. u The First Amendment to the United States Constitu­ tion guarantees us, as citizens, the right and opportunity to express our opinions in a verbal manner. Unfortu­ nately, present-day controversies have caused people to question and debate over the exact privileges "freedom of speech" entitles us as citizens. On one hand, there are those who feel it is our ! Another piece of ASU history will soon be gone. When the university purchases the St. Luke's Episcopal Church in a few weeks, the memorable constitutional right to say anything, and I mean anything, building adjacent to the post office will most likely be lorn down.

On the other hand, there arc should be preserved as is, to use for university clubs and organizations. those who feel offensiveand derogatory language should In the past few years the university has adopted a plan to tear down three of not be allowed, just for "everyone's entitled to their own the stone buildings on Rivers Street.

There is an on-going argument in this country about expansion of the ASU Bookstore. Do we need another small parking lot at the whether or not colleges and universities should imple­ cost of a campus landmark? ment hale speech codes. First of all, let me congratulate Budget problems have troubled the university for years. It does not make Appalachian Stale University for NOT having such a sense to tear down a brick building just to then turn around and spend more code, and allow me to discourage the administration money to build new buildings; not to mention the cost of creating the proposed from any discussion on the matter. The very thought of three plans. Leave the building where it is and put it to another use. adopting a hate speech policy startles me into There arc many clubs and organizations that would be happy to adopt this wondering why in the world'such a blatant violation of building as a new home. The church could be used as a student center for the religious groups on campus, as a museum, as additional meeting rooms, or as Office space for organizations like the ASU News Bureau. There arc belter uses our First Amendment would ever be seriously consid­ ered. Secondly, I want to make it clear that 1 do not support the lerrorizalion of human beings through unfair and inappropriate language. 1 feel there is a simple solution . one that does not require institutional rules and regulations. I understand that in dealing with any issue there is the potential for diving off the deep end and going to ex­ tremes. Larry Craig, a senator for Idaho, recently intro­ duced a bill that would discontinue federal funding to any university with a campus policy regulating offensive speech. Senator Craig's suggestion is just as ridiculous as the speech codes he is so venomously against. Cutting off the federal money supply will not inspire students tosay nicer things to one another. A lack of money means a lack of books, facilities, classes, pro­ fessors and students—a lower quality educational environ­ ment. I also understand the con­ cerns of students who are forced to function in an envi­ ronment where they do not feel welcome. Clcmson University's Minority Council Head Kenya Welch said, "Where a person is verbally or physically tormented, badgered, heckled or persecuted or is under constant fear of this occurring because of his or her race, sex, religion or sexual orientation, a quality education is an intangible goal." Although 1 strongly agree that malicious, verbal harassment is wrong, I sec weakness in a statement that contains the word "intan­ gible." Having someone call you names is no excuse for giving up. Calling yourself a victim is not an excuse for apathy. And adopting a policy that restricts students from calling students faggots, niggers or Jesus freaks will not ensure academic success for minorities. Telling students what to say and what not to say will not solve the problem. "You can't fight racism and sexism or any oilier kind of Maybe we should all practice a little courtesy, tact and repect for others. 99 Highlights from Oct. 11 Presidential Debate Edited by BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor I Uhi-fed tueflut Pividfid u*e*fau. IN 19 DAYS 1 QUESTIONS BUSH CLINTON PEROT Americans are increasingly alarmed about drug-related crimes in cities and suburbs. Are you, at all, t>f a mind that maybe it ought to go to another level... of legalization, or somewhere between there and where we are now? No. I don't think that's the answer. I don't think legalizing narcotics is the answer.. .We've got to keep fighting on this war against drugs. . . . I opposed it, and I'm going to stand up and continue to oppose it. I am adamantly opposed to legalizing drugs.. . . Thirty years ago there were three policemen on the street for every crime. Now there are three crimes for every policeman. We need 100,000 more police on the street; I have a plan for that. Secondly, we ought to have treatment on demand. We've got chemical warfare being conducted against our children on the streets of this country all day every day, and we don't have the will to stamp it out.. . . There are guys who couldn't get a job third shift in a Dairy Queen driving BMWs and Mercedes selling drugs. These old boys are not going to quit easy. Racial division continues to tear apart our great cities. What would you do to solve this problem? It not going to be all done by legislation, but I do think that you need to make an appeal every time you can to eliminate racial divisions and discrimination. All people are equal in the eyes of God. ... If the American people can not be brought together, we cannot turn this country around. If we can come together, nothing, nothing can stop us. The first thing that I would do is during political campaigns, I would urge everybody to stop trying to split this country into fragments and appeal to the differences between us, and wonder why the melting pot is all broken to pieces after Nov. 3. Closing statements; S x Let me tell you a little what It is like to be president. In the oval office, you can't predict what kind of crisis is going to come up. You have to make tough calls.... Look at the dramatic changes around the world. The Cold War is over. The Soviet Union is no more and we're working with them to make them a demo­ cratic country. Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Baltics are free. Take a look at the Middle East. We had to stand up against a tyrant and the United States came together like we haven't in many, many years. And we kicked this man out of Kuwait. And in the process, as a result of that decision, and that will, and that toughness, we now have ancient enemies talking peace in the Middle East. Nobody would have dreamed it possible, and 1 think that biggest dividend of making these tough calls is that we are less afraid of nuclear war. On the domestic side, what we This debate tonight has made crystal-clear a challenge that is as old as America. A choice between hope and fear, change or more of the same. The courage to move into a new tomorrow, or to listen to the crowd who says things could be worse.... I offer a new direction. Invest in American jobs; American education. Control health care costs. Bring this country together again. I want the future of this country to be as bright and brilliant as its past, and it can be if we have the courage to change. I don't like to see the country's principals violated. I don't like to see the people in a deteriorating economy in a deteriorating country because our government has lost touch with the people. The people in Washington are good people, we just have a bad system. It is time to do it, because we have run up so much debt, time is no longer our friend.... Isn't it time to stop talking about it [our problems]? Isn't it time to start doing something about it? . . . Every four years, they send you all of these messages to tell you how to vote, and then they go back to business as usual. I want to recreate the American dream for your children and grandchildren, I'll give you everything I have if you want me to do it.

' High in the upper 50's THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 Vol. 67 No. 9 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Tuesday, October 6, 1992 Debate set at ASU By ADAM HATCH Assistant News Editor The debate between the Young Demo cfsts and the Young Republicans on cant pus is a reality. The debate is scheduled for Oct.24 at 7 p.m. A location has not yet been decided. After initial argument over the format snd moderator the Political Science Soci­ ety, the Young Democrats and the Young Republicans have reached an agreement snd are preparing for the debate. As in the presidential race, the two parties could not agree on two aspects of the format. First, the parties could not decide upon a format of questions. One side advocated a pre-emptive list of ques­ tions; the other promoted a wide-open field of unprepared questions from the moderator and audience. A compromise was struck and the format is as follows; Question, with a three minute response, followed by three minute rebuttal fol­ lowed by 30 seconds of re-rebulial 1 he two sides will alternate questions and answers based on a list of 20 given a few minutes befoic the debate Approxi­ mately six questions will be fielded by each opposing side. In addition to a format of questions prepared or no t prepared, the partiescould not agree on an open or closed forum. This concerns whether or not the parties will be bound to answer questions from the forum, or audience. The final deci­ sion was to allow some questions from the forum for approximately one hour addressed toward either side without re­ buttal. Everyone is invited to come to the debate to question the two parties. The second concern faced by the two parties and the sponsoring organization, the Political Science Society, was tire moderator. After initial questions con­ cerning a three to five person panel, one moderator was chosen. The three organizations attempted to find someone with the ability to field questions from both sides and maintain control of the debate. Most importantly, the organizations wanted an unbiased moderator. All three groups settled on Dr. Morgan, political science professor. Morgan is known as a person who takes great pains to avoid his students finding out whether he is a democrat or republi­ can. Because of this, the three groups felt that Morgan was the most unbiased choice. This debate is free and open to the public. The Political Science Society, the Young Democrats and the Ypung Repub­ licans extend an open invitation to all students, faculty, staff and members of the Boone community to come and ob­ serve. This is the final part of a four-part series that attempts to shed light on the political atmosphere on campus. ASU to buy St. Luke's Church By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Appalachian Photo by Karla Smith ASU BUY S ST. LUKE'S: Appalachian is in the process of purchasing land and buildings that make up St. Luke's Episcopal hurch. The deal should be official in a tew weeks. The University Endowment is in the process of purchasing St. Luke's Episco­ pal Church. The church, adjacent to University Bookstore and across from Whitner Hall, approached the university with the option to buy the land and three buildings on the property, said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, Vice Chancellor of Busi­ ness Affairs. "There was an active seller and a will­ ing buyer," said Zimmerman. No con­ tracts have been signed yet, but the deal is expected to be official in a matter of weeks, added Zimmerman. Zimmerman has signed an option to buy the property. The university and church are waiting for a change in zoning before a contract is signed. The state has asked for a zoning change from R-3, residential 3, to U-l, university 1. Three options are being discussed for use of the property. In order of impor­ tance the property will 1) provide clearly defined borders and have landscape and architectual improvements, 2) help park ing and traffic prob­ lems, or3) serve as an expansion to the bookstore by the Endowment. The Endowment is an independent organization that exists for the betterment of the university. Funds for the organization are contributed by New River Light and Power and Univer­ sity Bookstore.

The collective protested the workshop, hich was open to faculty and staff niem8. on the grounds that it belittled n. f From what was on the memorandum, w°tkshop) assumes women are nut powerful and that the one way to become powerful is by the way you dress. It also implies that if a women is assertive, she has to be worried about appearing obnox­ ious," said Eva Hyatt, co-advisor of lire Campus Women's Collective. The controversy started when a memo­ randum from Mack Greer at the Office of Personal was posted about the workshop entitled " Image and Self Projection for Women." Some women were offended by some of the topics covered in the workshop and outlined on the memorandum. Some of the topics were: Why many women unconsciously communicate low self esteem to others and how to coned this; how to exercise power without being intimidating or obnoxious; how to chose clothing and accessories that enhance your authority; how to save yourself when you want to lose your temper and feel the tears coming on. "The workshop emphasized the im­ portance of dressing professionally, pre paring yourself educationally and improv ing yourself," said Greer. The workshop was suggested to Per­ sonnel Services by Dr. Sandra Anderson from Caldwell Community College. Anderson also presented the workshop and wrote the outline distributed by Per­ sonnel Services. Approximately 27 people attended the workshop held at the Broyhill Inn. " I've been told the workshop did have some good points, such as pointing out that there is a double standard for men. But I feel that the workshop played into the idea that women must follow certain rules and portray a certain image to be taken seriously, and I have a problem Off-trail hikers endangering rare plant species on parkway By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Et< Uincert aids ""rricane victims. Page 3 Sports hnlldogs dominate ^untaineers, 25-0. Page 4 -^niirnentary ^debating game. Many students enjoy hiking in their free time. The trails on the Blue Ridge Parkway are among the most popular. But wandering off these designated trails can have a detrimental effect on the envi­ ronment. Many rare species are found in the southern Appalachian Mountains. Many popular areas, such as Rough Ridge over­ look, harbor these plants and animals. Rough Ridge, located near Grandfa­ ther Mountain and Linn Cove Viaduct, has had problems with people not obey­ ing the posted signs. Hikers venture off the trailsdisturbing and ruining nature for future generations. People commonly step off the trail for a better view, to see plants close-up, or to further explore the area. On the top of mountains the soil is very thin. When a person steps on a plant, the roots are also being stepped on. Therefore, it takes very few individuals to form a new path. Once the path is there, others will follow it. "The mission of the Blue Ridge Park­ way is to provide enjoyment...while pre­ serving (the area) for future generations," McElrath noted one misconception said Lillian McElrath, a Blue Ridge Park­ when talking with the visitors.

Greer said that personnel services have not done a similar workshop for men/Wit if there is an interest, they will do one. So far he has received one call about a work shop for men. On Sept. 25 personnel services co sponsored another workshop titled " The Beauty Myth: Power, Gender and 'Dress­ ing for Success'." This workshop was a discussion of the politics of image and was presented by Melissa B arth of the English department The workshop was attended by student. administrators, faculty and staff. The main topic discussed was the role that dress played in the workplace, with some arguing that it is more powerful to dress however you want and others feel­ ing that there is an unwritten dresscode to get ahead. Greer said hedoes not feel that the two workshops were contradictory and that they were simply two points of view. "The (self image) workshop was one point of view of many. The young ladies who protested have aright to their point of view," said Greer.

The proposed Dead Week policy states that no major exams, projects or papers would be allowed for a seven-day period before a semester's reading day, unless it was the final examination or semester project for that class. This policy promotes using the final examination time allotted to the class, if not for the final, then for a variety of other uses. For example, theexamperiodcould be used for a course review and critique, a review and discussion of the previously administered final exam, teacher evalua­ tions, or even additional instructional time. The need for a policy such as Dead Week has been recognized in the past by SGA. In October of 1985, the Student Government Senate passed Resolution SB#Q19-003, which states that professors cannot assign a test or project not in­ cluded on the syllabus within the seven cay period before Reading Day. Policies tike this one are not uncommon and exist t other universities within and indepen­ dent of the UNC system, such as NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest and Duke. SGA is seeking to improve on this policy. The proposed Dead Week policy is not only academic, but social as well. Club sponsored activities,such as movies, con­ Candidate speaks By ADAM HATCH Assistant News Editor The republican candidate for North Carolinas fifth district, Richard Bunxame to ASU this past Tuesday and spoke to several business and political science classes. Burr is running against 18 year incum­ bent Steve Neal. Bun feels that the heart of the problems facing America today are the economy and the lack of jobs. "There are fundamental problems with each area of soceity." In one of the classes to which he spoke he chose to address the four problems of Health care, taxes,education and welfare. In his 35 minute discussion he tried to address the problems and offer some vi­ able solutions. Bun- on health care said, "35 million Americans are not covered, yet we spend more on health care than any other coun­ try in the world." The first step in the process of national recovery is to create a strong domestic policy which includes provisions for small business growth and higher education standards, says Burr. Burr, a businessman himself from Win­ ston-Salem feels that the government should provide an easier way for small businesses to start and grow, citeing that 75% of the United States is employed by small business. BUTT has a strong stand on defense spending. He feels that the cuts in defense are needed but does not see where the discharged veterans are going to work after the military. Burrs strongest calls are for massive congressional reform. He calls for doing away with the senority system which al­ lows older senators to keep their same positions in seriate and house subcommit­ tees and making change that much more difficult. BUTT chose to single out and attack congressman Byrd who sits on the House appropriations committee and tried to connect the House to spending moneys to benefit Byrd's home state of West Vir­ ginia. The Michael resolution would cut con­ gressional committee staff by 50%. In the 1980's theCommittee Staff numbers rose from 2,000 to 13,000. Burr says he would support whole heartedly the resolution. USA Today estimates that it costs $80,000'an hour to run congress 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Burr says he holds 2 things dear. First, those over 65. He says "We have prom­ ised these people that once they get to this age that, 'we will take care of you', and we decide not to give them a cost of living increase on their Social Security ben­ efits." Which leaves the elderly with less than they need to survive. The second tiling that Bun says he holds dear is veterans. Burr said, "for years we prom­ ised the veterans of United States wars that wc would be there to take care of them and until recently we have kept them in the most substandard hospitals available and two years ago tried to cut their veterans benefits." Bun will return to ASU on Oct. 13 to discuss politics at 7:30 in I.G. Greer. certs and dances, would not be allowed during Dead Week. Tom Beaman, the SGA Academic Affairs Chair, is in the process of meeting with A.P.P.S. to dis­ cuss the proposal. Beaman said his office has received numerous positive responses from the faculty and feels very optimistic about the policy. "The Dead Week policy will be beneficial to faculty and students alike. It will give professors time to fulfill their commitments, as well as give students time to focus on their true purpose at Appalachian, academic excellence," said Beaman. The idea and realizationof the need for Dead Week arose from student com­ plaints. It was noted that some students would have a unit test or exam in a class one day, then Reading Day, and the com­ prehensive final the following day. In fact, one department chair, Dr. Susan Keefe in anthropology, has expressed her approval of this proposal and has been implementing the basic idea in her classes for years. Keefe does not give a cumula­ tive final in her classes because she feels that it is unreasonable to ask students to review a semester's worth of work allow­ ing only one day between the end of classes and the beginning of exams. According to Beaman, if the policy is passed according to plan, Dead Week will be implemented next fall. SGA would like to hear your opinion of the proposed Dead Week policy. Please call 262-2265 through Oct.14 during nor­ mal business hours to say whether or not you agree with thepolicy.

Adams, Director of State Affairs; Tina Szelist, Public Affairs Chair­ person; Pam Graham, Treasurer; Joanne Scharer, Secretary; Heather Lasher, As­ sistant Secretary and Eric Swortzel, Mountaineer Escort Director. Legislative cabinet appointments will be voted on next week. John Brendle, president of the Senior Committee, addressed the senate on the process through which the senior gift will be decided. He stressed that seniors would be involved in every step of the decision. Last year, seniors pledged $80,000 to the library. Seniors should lookon the senior board in the post office for upcoming informa­ tion on the class gift. Tina Szelist, Public Affairs Chairper­ son, told the senate of the times and days of homecoming activities. Szelist was asked why the SGA elec­ tions were not advertised more often. She replied that she had been instructed to concentrate on Homecoming. J.D. Adams, Director of State Affairs, spoke to the senate on his role as a repre­ sentative on the UNC Association of Stu­ dent Governments. "As a representative, I express con­ cerns about our school on a state level. This year I'd like to increase the senate's state involvement," said Adams. Committee reports were: - The Student Affairs Committee is working on getting more bike racks on campus and getting more people to keep the campus clean during Homecoming weekend. - The Community Affairs Committee is planning a United Way dhve. issue the committee will be wmu! the liquor by the drink referet - The Off-Campus Affairs C is concentrating on forming a..v to keep students who live off" informed on senate meetings Jesse Pratt, Senator-Doughto named senator of the week for volvement on the SGA hall.

Allen was also impressed with how the Africans applied what they learned, especially regarding learning how to solve their economic problems. Allen adjusted well to the culture differences since he had previously taught overseas. The uni­ versity which sent him to Africa provided his housing and he was well taken care of by the United Stales Embassy. "I practically lived better there than I live here," he said. Allen hopes that he mightretum to Africa, yet he has no immediate plans in the future. Professors usually are able to travel to a foreign country through university exchanges, and Allen's oppor­ tunity to return to Africa "depends on the needs of the university." Besides Africa, Allen has also lived in France and Canada where he continued his studies of French. When he is not teaching or traveling to confer­ ences, Allen enjoys reading and writing. Making his schedule even more hectic, Allen finds time to be the advisor of the French Club.The club meets about twice a month on Mondays. Activites include dinners and outings. Last year, the French Club took a trip to a stable to go horseback riding and also went to the B iltmore House. The club also has a French table, where members are encouraged to bring a bag lunch and speak French with other members. By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Andrew Allen, a professorof linguistics and French here at Appalachian, has spent most of his life dedicated to his passion of languages. Allen is interested in the differences and simi­ larities of languages. He studies what he describes as "the universal elements in languages." He began his love of French as a child and continued his studies of it through high school and college. He also studied overseas as a college student and French scholar. From 1988 to 1989, Allen spent time in Benin, Africa as a Fulbright lecturer. He taught linguistics and English at the National University of Benin. The experiences he encountered in Africa changed many of Allen's views about his life and his teaching. "I learned never to underestimate students," Allen said."It's amazing what they know and how quickly they catch on to concepts." The dedication and hard work shown by the African students impressed Allen. The students, whose educational system is similar to the French system, endure a high level of pressure in high school. They then must pass an overall exam be­ fore they go to universities, where their studies are more specialized. By CANDA F. SMITH Managing Editor Dating in the 90s. Is it possible to actually find "Mr. Right" with all the complications involved? Now that people are finally waking up to the AIDS reality, the sexual revolution is over. But there are still so many different interests, careers, ambitions that it may seem impossible to find anyone with similar values and interests. The movie "Singles" shows a realistic view of the 90s without the false Hollywood outlook. The setting is the Seattle "grunge" scene. I went to the movie expecting the usual love story: boy meets girl, falls in love and forever after. However, the plot reveals the real complicationsof the love story that are timeless, but also other complications that have only been concerns in the last decade. The movie is all about finding someone. The theme is not about music, bands or the yuppies of America. The theme is showing that everyone needs someone, not just finding someone to build a relationship with but someone to help make life easier to handle. Cameron Crowe, writer and director of the film, shows a group of young adults in their early 20s who are trying to figure out what they want from themselves and the other people in their lives. Bridget Fonda, Matt Dillon and Campbell Scott all live in an apartment complex and meet at an espresso shop throughout the movie to discuss the various directions of their lives.

She is painfully easy to relate to because of her realistic pastrel ationships. Throughout col lege she found herself in a safe and secure relationship, but every lime she steps outside of this unromantic friendship, she gets hurt. The viewer sees her wariness to become involved with Scott even though the two characters have obvious chemistry. The viewer witnesses this relationship while also going through Dillon and Fonda's involve­ ment. Dillon, the teen heartthrob, has the stereotypical band leader's walk, attitude, and confidence. He's in the band "Citizen Dick" and has the girls sur­ rounding him, including Fonda.

Sponsored by A.P.P.S., the benefit will take place tonight in Legends. Also playing will be the Pygmies and Eskimo Sunburn. Tickets are $4 for students. I The victims of Hurricane Andrew and Hurri­ cane Iniki are in need and ASU students can help. Tonight for $4 students can listen to some local bands from 9 p.m.-l a.m. in Legends and know that the profits from the ticket sales will go directly to hurricane victims. The benefit is sponsored by A.P.P.S. and Active Students for the Community (ASC).The event will feature groups Marblehead, Eskimo Sunbum and The Pygmies. The doors will open at 8:30 p.m. for those who want to get there early. Hugh Southard, a graduate student who is coor­ dinating the event, says that "one hundred percent of tonight's profit will be donated to the American Red Cross and go directly to the hurricane victims. Fifty percentof the profits will go to Florida and the other half of the funds will be divided between Louisiana and Hawaii. Southard says he has had cooperation from ev­ eryone wanting to help and get this project off the ground. The bands involved are donating their talent and time, Legends is offering their services free of charge, and A.P.P.S. has allowed the entertainment an extra thirty minutes to perform tonight. Others such as High Country Inn, Sollecito's and Precision Printing have also been involved with aspects of the benefit Now is a time of great need for the hurricane victims. The national media attention is gone along with many of the volunteers who were on hand to buffer the initial shock of the disaster. Reality is starting to set in as people in these areas start going back to work and children are set up in temporary schools. The focus of the nation is turning to other things and The American Red Cross once swamped with volunteers is now seeing less response. The Red Cross and military units are the core support sys­ tem for the victims at this time. Hundreds arestill living in tents; they mightstill be there this time next year. Many victims have little or no insurance coverage and have no idea how long it will take to get back on their feet. Others are waiting for insurance claims to be processed so they can begin rebuilding their lives. The devastation is great as well as the need. If you would like to help but can not attend the benefit, leave a donation with the ACT office or contact Hugh Southard at 262-0537. Your support will be greatly appreciated. Rally Monday By DAVID ALSTON Appalachian Staff Writer At sunset on Oct. 12, 1992, Appalachian State University's chapter of Amnesty International will host an "Indigenous People's Day." This event falls on Columbus Day, and is being presented as an opportunity to increase awareness within the Boone Community of the existence of indigenous, or native cultures and traditions. The festivities are not intended as "Columbusbashing," but merely as an attempt to highlight the existence and the achievements of other cultural traditions. To increase participation in tire event. Amnesty plans on featuring music and a variety of speakers who will address the topics of indigenous cultures and human rights concerns. Audience participation activities are also planned. The event will be informative, but also fun. The Indigenous People's Day is a nationwide effort involving Amnesty chapters, highlighting an effort to respect history while keeping an eye on 'future' and present concerns such as human rights, cultural awareness and community. This specific action is also the high point of an effort to address the human rights conditions of indigenous societ­ ies in both North and South America.

Alexander broke an SC record for the highest punting average in a game and booted his career's longest punt at 78 yards. Missed scoring opportunities and an overworkeddefenseplagued Appalachian State on Saturday as they dropped a key Southern Conference contest toThe Cita­ del, 25-0. The second largest crowd in Kidd Brewer Stadium history of 24,233 gath­ ered to see Appalachian throw away three golden scoring opportunities. ASU took their second drive of the game down to the Bulldog 29-yard line where Jay Millson's 46-yard field goal attempt was wide as the Apps failed to score on their first opportunity. In the second quarter, the Mountain­ eers took their opening drive 77 yards in seven plays before turning it over at the Citadel 3-yard line. Tailback Chip Hooks, who accumulated 161 yards in total offense, carried the ball 25 yards before fumbling after a hit at the 5 when Bulldog line­ charge of the game scoring fir,, ball. The Citadel quickly worked them­ selves out of their own territory as junior fullback Everette Sands, named SC of­ fensive player of the week for the third consecutive week for his 199 yards rush­ ing, marched down the field in a 53-yard run. ASU comerback Matt Stevens stopped Sands on the play but he kept the momentum alive and went on to score four plays later in the game to give the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead. On the Mountaineers' next possession, the Mountaineers once again threw away a scoring opportunity as Hooks led the drive with a 20-yard run to The Citadel's 21-yard line. Quarterback DJ Campbell attempted a pass to Anthony Smith in the endzone which was intercepted by Bull­ dog comerback Torence Forney at the 1yard line.

Western Carolina was third with 105, UNC-Wilmington was fourth with 129, and UNC-Charlotte was fifth with 154. Other teams compet­ ing included Radford, High Point, UNCAsheville, and UNC-Greensboro. The Mountaineers were led by fresh­ man Tommy Holland who finished third overall with a personal best timeof 24:57. Senior Todd Walters was the only other Mountaineer to place in the top ten as he finished ninth at a personal best clocking of 25:21. "Overall, it was a decent meet for us. Holland and Walters bothdid outstanding for us. Holland finished in front of all of NCSU's runners, and Walters finished behind three, which is great, because NCSU was not only first in the Atlantic Coast Conference last year, but also twelfth in the nation," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Senior Brian Watkins finished 20th at 26:19 while sophomore Brian Miesch placed 23rd at 26:26. Junior Alan Whicker rounded out the Appalachian top five with a personal best 26:36 time to finish 25th. Former NCSU runner, completing un­ attached in the race, David Honea was first at 24:44. There were 90 competitors in the race.

The Mountaineers, who fell to 2-5 with the loss, are now 0-3 in the confer­ ence for the first time in school history. The Paladins staked themselves to a 20 lead with under ten minutes left to play in regulation. Appalachian managed to come back, however, and take the contest into overtime where Furman scored three unanswered goals to improve to 2-0in the Southern Conference. Scott Griffith startSd the Mountaineer comeback with his first goal of the season after stealing a Paladin back pass and scoring on Furman All-SC goalie Ed Stein. The Griffith goal made the score 2-1 with 9:05 left in the match. Appalachian tied the game moments later on a Brian Cone goal off an assist from Bobby Martin. The Cone goal was his second of the season. From there, the two teams went score­ less until Furman struck for one goal ten minutes into the first overtime period and then added two more scores in the second extra stanza. The loss set a school record for most conference losses in one season by an Appalachian soccer team. The Mountaineers were able to snap their two-match losing streak Sunday, when they returned home to play nonconference foe Vanderbilt. The 3-2 win upped ASU's record to 3-6. Appalachian got out on topof the Com­ modores early when Jyri Lindeberg took a pass from David Terry and fired a shot off the Vanderbilt goalkeeper and a Vandy defender and into the goal. The goal, coming just two minutes into the match, was the first of the season for Lindeberg. The Commodores struck back ten min­ utes later on a Ryan Estevez goal. Estevez toook a crossing pass in frontof the Appa­ lachian goal and headed it past goalie Jason Hockstra to tie the game. Estevez gave Vanderbilt the lead early in the second half when he rocketed a goal past Hockstra for a 2-1 advantage. The Commodore lead was short-lived, however. Scott Griffith lied the match five minutes later when he fired in a rebound shot from twenty yards away. Just 1:10 later Greg Rhinehardt scored the game-winner when David Terry stole the ball in the Vanderbilt backfield and passed to Rhinehardt in the box for an easy score and a 3-2 lead. The goal was the first of Rhinehardt's career. Terry, Appalachian's leading scorer this season with 14 points had two assists against Vanderbilt to move into third on the all-time Appalachian scoring chart The Vanderbilt match was played in a driving rain storm, not the most ideal conditions for soccer. "It was a big win for us," Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex said. "In a match like this, in weather like this, everything goes out the window. The team that plays hardest and plays toughest wins. I liked the way we played in the second half, and I think the second half is something we can build on." The Mountaineers will next play High Point Friday at High Point. Appalachian's next home match is Sunday against con­ ference opponent Georgia Southern. Appalachian Photo by" APPS DROP ONE, WIN ONE: ASU midfielder, Bobby Martin, leads ii with six.

Women were taught "how :tti to save yourself when you want to lose your temper and feel the tears coming on,""how pioayour image affects your job performance," and "how to exercise power without being fat intimidating or obnoxious." In other words, women, you need to act like a man, dress rie like a man, and behave like a man in order to succeed on the job. Vit| Workshops that include helpful information about how to succeed in the workplace M can be very beneficial. However, holding a workshop like this, for women only, sends out the unmistakable message that women are not yet considered equal. Women should ve the right to dress and act like themselves. They should not have to conform to the ndards ofsomeone else. By hosting a university sponsored workshop like "Image and ielf Projection for Women," ASU has contradicted the concept of equality. Being an al opportunity employer does not make up for telling women that they need to act re like men in order to be taken seriously. Our university should hold a workshop that includes both men and women since upational advice is pertinent to everyone. Men, as well as women, would find the ormaiion included in the workshop helpful. Saying that acomparable workshop will scheduled for men if significant interest is shown is inadequate.The message is clear the university believes women need this information more then men. In appropriate protest to this workshop, an informal discussion of the politics of image 'assponsored by the Officeof Women's Concerns, the Hubbard Center, and Personnel ices. This discussion was generated by the belief that the Oct. 1 workshop was idling to women. The Office of Women's Concerns should be congratulated for 'gnizing the underlying discrimination in the workshop and organizing a more iuble discussion. If the university wishes to be thought of as providing equal opportunities for men and tn, it should not send contradictory messages through sponsored workshops. Bush, Clinton and Perot get their act together we should fly the yellow flag of caution. When it comes to the future of our nation, citizens, hasty decisions are far from wise. On one hand, the presidential race features this yo-yo, Ross Perot, who can't decide, for any substantial length of time, whether he's coming or going. If our Indepen­ dent is not capable of staying in one place for a matter of months, what kind of shape will America be in after four years of Ross Perot? And do we know enough about this man to predict with confidence the answer to my ques­ tion? On the other hand. Bush and Clinton continue to ride the meny-go-round of debate negotiations. In this past month alone, a bipartisan commission proposed three different presidential debates and one vice presidential debate, all to be conducted by a single moderator. Three limes the debate has been canceled because Bush would rather have a panel of journalists to ask questions, and Clinton would rather follow the format of the commis­ sion. Frankly, folks, I'm a little dizzy — and sick in my stomach, too. What is going on here? Why are we getting the runaround? Is it too much to ask that our presidential candidates face each other? Are the people demanding loo much because we want to know what kind of man will lead our nation for the next four years? What kind of a choice do we have when we are forced to enter the voting booth blindfolded? While the frustrated people of America ask themselves these questions, the race goes on. The end of September brought about some changes in the debate game. President Bush proposed a series of four Sunday-night debates starling on Oct. 11 and ending two days before election day on Nov. 1. If Governor Clinton accepts, two of the debates will be conducted by a single moderator, and a panel of three journalists will ask questions at the other two. Bush also proposed two face-to-face discussions between Vice President Dan Qualye and Senator Al Gore. OK, a compromise is fair, I guess. The problem is, in order to accept Bush's proposed schedule, Clinton would have to negotiate directly with the Republican campaign, and the bipartisan commission would have to be set aside. Clinton's initial response to the proposal was to insist that two debates be held on Sunday, Oct. 4 and Thursday, Oct. 15, dates set up by the commission. But Wednesday, Sept. 30, the Democrats agreed to begin negotiations with the Republicans. Round and round we go again. I know that it's important to be fair and objective. But for goodness sake, I don't care how thev do it anymore —I want to see Bush andClinton dosome REAL talking. What are they afraid of? Why is this debate issue sucking up to much time? As a registered voter, I value my right to contribute a small part to the nation I call my home. All I ask is that I be given the chance to make an informed, responsible and confident decision regarding who the next president will be. While the candidates play the debate game, they re wasting the time that voters need to study issues and make their decisions. Appearances on ABC's "Good Morning America," NBC s Today and CBS' "This Morning" are helpful, but a face-to-face discussion between candidates is im­ portant as well. I implore the candidates participating in the 1992 presidential race — Do the voters the courtesy of telling us the truth, be open with the people of the United States of America. Hopefully, October will be a productive four weeks for voters. At least we know for sure, now, that Ross Perot is indeed running for the finish line, and perhaps a concrete debate schedule will evolve and actually take place. Will Perot be included? Bush has invited the Independent Party to participate. Clinton is noncommit­ tal on the issue. When the winner of the race is declared in November and the dust clears, time will reveal whether or not the best man has won. To the candidates: Come out from your hiding places and stand in the light. The people have a right to know the truth. And to the voters: The presidential race is to be run by every citizen of the United States. There can only be one president, but we all cross the finish line together. This is our nation. We must never forget, and never let our leaders forget, that the government does not hold the power. We, the people, decide. We, the people VOTE. Park Ranger, may I please go swimming? By BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor Park rangers are nice people. One sunny summer day, I was out swimming in the pool of water that accumulates at the bottom of Linville Falls. There were a few signs posted around that pond that indicated that swimming was prohibited. Probably some nasty current, I thought. I am a pretty good swimpier, and I thought I could jump in and enjoy myself im­ mensely. I jumped in. I enjoyed myself im­ mensely. Any minute, I thought I might be sucked under by the dreaded killer current, but there wasn't one there. I did the breast stroke, the sidestroke and the backstroke. I continued to enjoy myself. After I had been swimming for a while, I heard someone yelling at me. Glancing around revealed two park rangers that were yelling and pointing at me. Here goes, I thought—they are going to give me a ticket for swimming where I wasn't supposed to be swimming. I tried to remain calm as I swam to the edge of the water and pulled myself up onto the rocky shore. "What seems to be problem?" I asked. "Did you see the sign over there? The one that says you aren' t supposed to swim here?" The two park rangers asked in return. "Yes.Isawthesign.'Ttoldthem. Then I went on to explain that I was a good swimmer, and how I thought that I could outswim the killer cun-ent. If I couldn't, I conceded, well then that was my own fault, and I deserved whatever happened to me. "I don't know about the current out there, but you were endangering your safety," they told me. So it was not the current that they were concerned about It must have been the water temperature. It was a warm day, but take it from me: that water was COLD! Anybody who swims in that river for an extended period of time is definitely en­ dangering his safety. I decided toconsole the rangers. "I know the water is ex­ tremely cold, but I wasn't going to swim for very long. I would have been out before I started to freeze to death." "Nobody would swim in that cold wa­ ter for long," they replied. Now I was confused. They weren't concerned about thecurrent. They weren' t concerned about the water being cold. Now my mind started to wonder. What were they concerned about? I asked, "Why can't I swim in this water?" "Well, for one thing, it's polluted," one of them said. The Linville River, polluted? I read several newspapers a day in a sometimes futile attempt to remain updated on cur­ rent issues. Despite all of my reading, I had never heard that the Linville River was polluted. Still, this new information was coming from two park rangers that were patrolling Linville Falls. Park rang­ ers love beauty and nature, and they don't usually make things up like water pollu­ tion. I believed them. 1 made several more queries of these park rangers. Why was the river pol­ luted? How polluted is it? Is there not someone who can patrol the area and see that the pollution is cleaned up? The park rangers told me that the river was polluted just to the point that it was not safe to swim in. They said they suspected someone was dumping raw sewage into the water upstream of the falls. Finally, the pollution problem would have to stay because they said the state didn't have enough money to pay people to test the water and cite illegal dumpers. After talking a little longer, I expressed my dismay that the river was not safe to swim in. They must have admired my sincere concern, because they left after telling me not to swim in the water again. Luckily, they didn't feel that a citation was appropriate. What is wrong with the state and fed­ eral governments? Why can't they open their eyes and search vigorously for water polluters. How hard could it be to catch people who dump waste into the rivers and lakes of this country? All they need to do is to set aside some money to pay ecology majors for summer internships. During these internships, these new employees would start at the headwaters of each of these rivers and begin to hike/ canoe toward the ocean. Every time they came across a drainage pipe that emptied into the river, they could make alittle note to have that pipe checked for pollutants. Weekly rendezvous teams would meet the hikers/canoeists and pick up lists of new sites to be inspected. They would have one week to take samples, and run tests, then they would iriove on to new sites. Offenders could be cited and ordered to pay large monetary fines. Heck, the hikers and testers could even be paid on commission—then they would have even more of an incentive to inspect closely. As soon as the first group of hikers got finished, another group could start. We could have year-round environmental pro­ tection agents. Before long, I might be able to swim in all of the cold mountain rivers that I wanted to. There is only one problem with my plan. It is too simple. It would never work. People can't just trudge along the banks of rivers and write tickets to pollut­ ers. It would hurt businesses. Many of them think they ought to be allowed to dump anything, anywhere they want. I don't care. I like clean water. So should you. Let's start writing those tick­ ets. .. I volunteer to be the first hiker. Chancellor Thomas receives a fond farewell Student defends the leadership of Thomas To the Editor: Until Jonathan Watterson has himself been the chancellor of a major university and has personally experi­ enced how difficult it is to please over 10,000 students as well as faculty, staff, other administrators and the state, I don't think he has any right to criticize Dr. John Thomas. Our chancellor deserves thanks for a job well done, not criticism. Dr. Thomas is friendly, down-toearth and has made a sincere effort to get to know and work with the students of Appalachian State University. He is not the type of chancellor who sits in an air-conditioned office all day and never sees a single student. He attends as many student functions as possible, both on and off campus. Dr. Thomas was present at a summer program for students in Newport, Rhode Island. While he was there, he helped students by doing mediocre jobs like cleaning up dishes. Blaming Dr. Thomas for the increase in the student body, traffic in Boone or the SAC is ridiculous. Dr. Thomas is not the one who compiles statistics on the student body, nor is he solely responsible for admissions criteria. If ASU is getting bigger, maybe the reason is that the education we receive •here has improved greatly since Thomas became chancellor. Let's not forget that ASU is known all over the Southeast for its education and business colleges. More students want to attend ASU than ever before, so the choice is either to admit more students or shut out a good percentage of applicants. ASU is already turning down more applicants than it ever has. Dr. Thomas is not the only administrator, and he is not solely responsible for any decisions regarding the SAC. If the SAC is built against the wishes of the student body, unjustly blaming the chancellor and calling him a dictator won't change anything. I hope Dr. Thomas knows how many ASU students, faculty and staff are appreciative of the job he does, and many people will be very sad to see him leave. Tracy Tarleton ASU Box 12839 �Tht Appalachian.

FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY. BOONE. NORTH CAROLINA Thursday, October 1,1992 i uw. Adrrus. Looking back 20 years ago MANYA A. BRACHEAR ipalachian Staff Writer -<s ssing'Xl 4, . gveryyear Appalachian State students d alumni gather to celebrate their alma |iter's continues change and progress. B xlents participate in homecoming com • utions and enjoy their share of parties well. But many of these partiers don't ilize how much progress ASU has made 20 years. Appalachian reached an all-time high 6,053 undergraduates enrolled in 1972. impare this to the current total of ,367. Thirty-four classes offered with more than six course levels. But besides statistics, the university derwent some radical changes in the arof 1972. In July, university leadership changed " . The General Assembly expanded TT ester. the University of North Carolina system to include 16 campuses, one of which was ASU. President Herbert Wey became Chancellor Wey and the school lost its independence. The ASU Foundation, Inc. raised Si.6 million to improve current operation, plant expansion and endowments. Appli­ cation of the funds resembled current plans to expand the services and number of volumes in Belk Library. Instead of building a new science building, plan­ ners looked toward expanding the Col­ lege of Business—a later successful ven­ ture. Student Government Association adopted a new rule giving seniors the option to choose whether or not to vote in class officer elections. In the spring, students without enough credit hours to be classified as seniors were not allowed to vote. The new rule stated either hours earned or quarters of attendance would qualify seniors to vote. So a second election was held for seniors, by quarters of attendance, denied the right to vote. Local voting was not the only issue in 1972. The presidential election was the first national election for the under-21 generation to vote. Nixon and McGovem replace Bush and Clinton. Family values meant reuniting households by releasing the POWs from North Vietnam. Students celebrated homecoming a little differently, too. The 1972 celebration evidently focused more on alumni. The event kicked off with an Alumni Golf Tournament and continued with a re­ union get-together and Old Timer's Cof­ fee Hour. Duree Daniels reigned as the 1972 Homecoming Queen. Back then Daniels said she did not believe in women's lib, but she did oppose job discrimination. Legal debate arose in the 1972 home­ coming as well. While this year's debate centered around taking can tabs out of the recycling bin, legal technicalities in 1972 prevented a black from partici­ pating in the homecoming court. Re­ sponding to complaints that minorities were not sufficiently involved in the homecoming activities, the Senate ap­ pointed a black representative to the court. The appointment was immedi­ ately struck down by the Judiciary. Instead, the black representative Judy Gentry was presented on Saturday night as a special feature of the homecoming festivities. Appalachian's celebration of the changing times is deserved. Although we have just as much to worry about now, we have overcome the past twenty years, an accomplishment well worth enjoying.

In 1942 the Rhododen­ dron was one picture short of being a perfectly balanced annual. The editor, James Stowie, and assistant editor, Elisabeth South, and freshman Lloyd Isaacs in association with Bill Mitchell of the Observer Publishing Co., were sitting around trying to make a decision on what picture they should put in the annual. The result of their brain storming was a fic­ tional character named Dan'l Boone Yoself for the 1941-42 freshmen class. The original mascot more closely re­ sembled a mountaineer. Through the years, the original Yosef was considered too ugly. So the mascot's appearance evolved to a more attractive Yosef. That was fifty years ago. Not only has Yosef been through some physical change, he has also dropped an "1" from his name. Yosef has been our own beloved moun­ taineer mascot for years, but who is that bearded man? Well, for the academic year of 1991 to 1992, Yosef was Kevin Patterson, Junior at Appalachian. Pattterson became interested in play­ ing Yosef by talking to the student who portrayed Yosef the year before. "It seemed like it would be a lot of fun," said Patterson. The year that Patterson applied for the position, no one else triedout against him. But this year there were two students trying out for the job, according to Patterson. They each had to dress up and perform a skit. The better performer was then crowned the new Yosef. Yosef is not a position the student is paid for. He or she is treated as an athlete of Appalachian State University. The student portraying Yosef is drug tested as are all athletes and cheerleaders. Being Yosef is not always fun and games. A lot of time is required. Yosef must attend all football and basketball games. Patterson said he tried to squeeze in as many girls basketball games as pos­ sible as well. As well as sports functions, Yosef attends all pep rallies and other school-oriented functions. An example Patterson gave was a "Thank you party" organized for a man who had generously donated to Appalachian's athletic depart­ ment Patterson also had the opportunity to attend a child's birthday party.

Other similarities between the 1992 campaigns and the 1972 campaigns are. - The Republican candidate for presi­ dent was an incumbant. - The Democraticcandidates' platform then was "change". - The Democratic nominees had little or no experience in foreign matters. -Young voters were considered a cru­ cial force and both parties tried to woo their votes. -Trust was an issue and polls showed that voters trusted McGovem less, even though questions about Watergate were beginning to surface. - The Republ ican vicepresidential can­ didate was a controversial figure. Vicepresident, then President Ford, has gone down in history as a comical figure. -Part of McGovem's platform was that he would raise taxes on citizens accord­ ing to their income and that he would make cuts in defense. Nixon won the 1972 election with the largest popular vote in history, winning all but two states anddefeating McGoverr 60.7 percent to 37.7 percent.

It would be too difficult to find a voice suitable to a mountain man and to keep it consistent as mascotschange identity. Yosef is allowed to talk to the cheerleaders or other ahtletic-related per­ sonnel in order to talk about work. When I asked Kevin what aspects he enjoyed the most, he said he enjoyed traveling with the cheerleaders because they were a lot of fun. But most of all, he enjoyed fooling around with the kids and the students. He said that it was very rewarding to see a child's face light up just by shaking Yosef's hand. You may be wondering, who is this year s Yosef? The beard has been handed down to our new 1992-93 Yosef, who has asked to remain anonymous. Maybe, come May 1993, Yosef will reveal him­ self. But until then, we can only watch and laugh while Yosef dances, struts around the field, and shoots his infamous rifle off at every ASU touchdown.

While in Chapell Wilson, he saw the growth of the Department of Business Education to the College of Business. Although football was a big sport in 1968, "it was hard to envision the 22,000 people that were present at the game last weekend," Porterfield said. The big rivalries back then were ETSU and Furman, and Porterfield said, "We resented being called 'Appy State' by Tennessee." The trip to ASU had to be planned in advance by the alumni, for there was only a single lane road up the mountain. Most alumni would eat in the cafeteria before the game, for there were hardly any fast food places in Boone. One big place to eat was The Dan'l Boone Inn, or Stameys Barbeque, which was located on King Street. Porterfield remembers the game as being a liule more tame than it is today. There was barely any alcohol consumption, for at that time Boone was dry. He also said, "the behavior at the games by students was more respectable, and theevent seemed to be more serious than today." Porterfield stepped down as department chair­ man in 1990 to go back to teaching. "I'd forgotten how many papers I had to grade," he said "I sometimes wonder if students are asserious now as they were back in the 1970s." As Homecoming approaches this weekend, the campus is filled with excitement. Students are looking foward to the many events and the distin­ guished alumni that will be visiting the campus. This weekend is a time to honor alumni, as well as professors that have been on campus for awhile. One such professor is Dr. Charles E. Porterfield, who has been with the Communication Depart­ ment since 1968. Porterfield remembers the homecomings back in the 1970s, when there were no such things as tailgate parties, only picnic y USA LAUGHLIN lunches. The crowning of the queen was the event ppalachian Et Cetera Editor of the year, and alumni could come for the game because the ride up the mountain was so tricky. Twenty years ago, in 1972, many of us were While Porterfield was department chairman, he iom.

Needless to say, I don't show his photo to anyone.

In 972 Wallace Stegner was the Pulitzer Prize in ction for Angle of Repose, and James Wright von for his poetry. In 1972 no Nobel Peace 'rize was awarded. In 1972 Ezra Pound, aged 7, died g/j$pre.jj in V.&ice, Italy. , j• fn the presidential election, 3,447 persons in 'atauga Co. voted for McGovern and 6,003 for ixon. That's a small turn out of votes consider ig the population of this county at this time as 23,404. We are in an election year once ;ain, and hopefully a higher percentage of 'atauga's 31, 678 inhabitants will participate. On March 22, 1972, the Senate proposed the lual rights amendment that stated "Equality of ghts under the law shall not be denied or ridged by the United States or by any state oi xount of sex."

Notonly was ASU harder to reach due to poor roads, but events such as homecoming were taken more seriously. Over 500 majors have been added in the past twenty years. Fashion flashback The new fashion update twenty years late By SONYA LITTLE Appalachian Staff Writer Ah, fashion, and style. Oh, to capture those two elusive birds that biennially change their feathers. Looking back everyone knows about the perfunc­ tory bell-bottom pants, platform shoes, and sideburns a la Elvis, but what else was out there to captivate the painfully trendy? Ardent followers of fashion, or those of us who can, will remember Twiggy and her counterpart Veruschka, who were the top models of theday. Their largeeyes, anorexic bodies, and generally pre-pubescent look were the envy of the ultimately stylish. Clothes were more diverse than one would im­ mediately think. There were three major style motifs in 1972: the Ragamuffin,, the Yugoslavian peasant, and Ethnic theme. The Ragamuffin was characterized by leather hats, bags and vests, all very large and floppy, and in many colors to create a patchwork effect. The peasant look was more creative, having a certain gypsy appeal through rich colors, hand stitching, tassels, and ethnic pat­ terns of eastern European Countries and Russia. Kimonos and Oriental prints were key, ilSo Afri­ can and Native American prints, adding to the mysterious ethnic flavor of style. On the other hand, androgeny was also a major factor in deter­ mining what was chic. The pants suit had finally become acceptable for women thanks to designers like Halston.Straight-cut legs that stopped short to hug the hips just below the belly-button, and body conscious tops in natural fibers as well as the nearly indestructible synthetic fibers we all know and love (polyester, dacron and nylon). Themost preva­ lent cut was the A-line, forming an odd, almost pyramid shape. Long dresses and halter tops were See FASHION page 8 Environmentalism strong after 20 years ASU's recycling program is somewhat lagging behind schools such as Chapel Hill and Warren Wilson, where recycling bins are provided in each residence hall room. However, we are currently recycling approximately 10 percent of our waste stream, or around 20 tons per month. Environmental activism is growing at ASU, as members of groups such as SAVE, SGA, and CRSA are trying to improve ASU's recycling program. The movement at ASU is reflected in SAVE's (Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment) membership, which has increased to over 150 people this year. Many new committees with different focuses have been created within SAVE to address the numerous problems we face. SAVE will address problems such ason-cam pus recycling off-campus recycling, green-space pres­ ervation, community preservation and clean-up, campus education, youth education, club outreach, and the SAC. As a whole, SAVE also participates in national letter writing campaigns such as Save America's Forests. Hunter Schofield, who was named the 1992 Student Environmentalist of the Year by ASU's Environmental IssuesCommittee, will be headingup SAVE once again this year. With his strong leadership and the new enthusiasm, environmen­ talism will reach new heights at ASU. �-The Appalachian Thursday October 1 L /qq? IDS celebrates diversity By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Twenty years ago,students' needs were not being met. There was no opportunity for individual attention in the huge lec­ ture classes, and there was also no creativ­ ity being inspired. The response to this need resulted in Watuaga College, which still goes on in the basement of East Hall. The basic idea of Watauga College is community. Students live in the same dotm where professors have their offices which produces a living and learning en­ vironment. It encourages students to talk about interesting topics outside of class, and adds to the feeling of community by giving a diverse group of people some­ thing in common. In 1972, the first "Watuagans," 125 of them, lived in Watauga dorm which was near Belk Library. Students were chosen on a first-come first-serve basis. Since no particular type of person was looked for, the result was a group of students with different backgrounds, interests and even majors, who were able to learn about other areas of interest. The founders ofWatuagaCollege, Don Franz, Jim Stein, and Lorraine Force vis­ ited other schools to decide on the best program to offer. They were "interested m having a community in which the liv­ ing and learning environment was inter­ woven" said Jay Wentworth, professor in Watauga College who has been here from the very beginning. He credits the success of Watauga to the administration, who has always been supportive, and good leadership. Of course the students are what really make Watauga. Every year piles of applications flood in. It is obvious that Watuaga fills a need for students and gives them something they are interested in. Wentworth said that not only do they provide something the students want, bui the "small college atmosphere with uni­ versity priviledges." The mission of Watuaga College is "to innovate, to try new things," said Wentworth. This is evident in the classes they offer. In the early 70's, students took classes such as Creativity and Taoism; Science as a Humanity; Sensuous Images in Art and Poetry; Dangerous Ideas; Love: An Inquiry; and Hang-ups and Heroes. The first group of Wataugans all took a class called Myth and Film, where they watched and discussed foreign films. In recent years, classes have been offered that tackle such topics as women's spiri­ tuality; prejudice; relationships; Shakespeare; the American dream; phi­ losophy in nature; and chaos, just to name a few. If you enjoy studying poetry in your English class, try taking the poetry workshop in the IDS department. You'll never look at poetry, or Shakespeare for that matter, the same again. Watauga College has helped foster such areas of interest as peace studies, black studies, women's studies, and Earth stud­ ies. With the immense interest, expansion seemed inevitable, but the department chose to stay small. This keeps its priorties intact. Number one is the student. To expand would cause individual attention and small classes to diminish, so they instead expanded in other ways. Each semester different classes areoffered with the very popular ones perhaps returning. Professors work hard to be friends with the students as well as teaching them. They encourage students to think for themselves and form their own opinions, like we will have to do later in life. Little lecturing takes place in the basement of East Hall; one could cal1 it more a discus­ sion among friends.

After extensive touring, they went back into the studio in 1970 to record. ID was a lesser known album outside of the cult following the band had acquired. Most of their third record was acoustic tunes like'Tangerine" and "That's the Way, but contained the rocking songs Celebration Day" and "The Immigrant Song." 1972 saw Zeppelin record an album that contained one song that would blow them to the topof the charts, and that song was "Stairway to Heaven." It is one of the most requested songson the radio. Although this song was incred­ ible, songs like "Black Dog," Rock N'Roll," and the eerie "Battle of Evermore" are also incredible in their own right. IV has everything from folk with "Going to California" to grungy blues slide guitar with "When the Levee Breaks," to the straight for­ ward rockin' twelve bar with "Rock'N'Roll." After the recording of this phenomenal album. Led Zeppelin went on to record four more studio albums: "Houses of the Holy," "Physical Graffiti," "Presence," "In Through the Out Door" and one live album, "The Song Remains the Same." "Houses of the Holy," the follow-up to IV, was a complete departure from any of the previous albums with such songs as "The Rain Song,""Dancing Days,""Dyer Maker" and "No Quarter." With this al­ bum, they experimented with reggae and more introspective work with keyboards. Nowadays, Led Zeppelin is one of the quintessential retrospective bands. Most anyone that listens to rock and roll music has at least one Zeppelin album in their collection. The strong following and the mainstay of this band and its fans proves that Led Zeppelin is one of the greatest rock and roll bands ever. • By AMANDA NELSON Special to the Appalachian AFPATONES REUNITE: A popular band from the '50's and '60's are holding a reunion this weekend.

The proper shoe was either on a platform, or had stacked or block heels, and of course the wedge. This convention was interpreted in a myriad of ways, but overall created a heavy, chunky base (appropriate for a pyramid). Knee boots that zipped up the inside were a favorite. Most of the ones I remember had crepe or gum rubber soles that split or gradually just came apart in pieces.

Appalachian State became a member of the S C in 1971 joining current members Davidson and Virginia Military Institite, as well as other squads from Duke, East Carolina, William and Mary, and Richmond. In 1972, the Mountaineers were led by thecoach­ ing of Jim Brakefield, who became a part of ASU in 1971, and went 5-5-1 on the year. Defensive tackle Ron Renyolds was the only Mountaineer named All-SC as ASU was defeated in its Home­ coming game 20-17 by Furman. In 1973, the Apps went 3-7-1 for the season and were led by the efforts of Renyolds once again. ASU defeated Davidson in the Homecoming battle by a 24-8 margin. In 1974, ASU went 6-5 on the season led by punier Joe Parker who was the national statistical champion in punting and was named to Playboy's All-American squad. Parker was also All-SC joining defensive blocker Larry McKenzie, nose guard Fred Snipes, and kicker Jerry Harmon. ASU defeated Furman at Homecoming 27-3. In 1975, the Apps went 8-3. The Mountaineers were led by Academic All-American and All-SC guard Gill Beck. Other All-SC performers in­ cluded tight end Andre Staton, guard Tom Sofield, quarterback Robbie Price, running back Emmit Hamilton, and kicker Gary Davis. Parker and defensive back Quinton McKinney were also named All-SC. ASU defeated Richmond in the Homecoming game 24-17. In 1976, the Apps went 6-4-1, defeating The Citadel at Homecoming by a score of 31-13. Beck, •gam an Academic All-American performer, was the recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy and named All-SC at center. Other All-SC performers were Staton at guard and Parker. The Apps estab­ lished the only team conference record held by ASU today this season in the area of most funbles ecovered at 30 in 11 games. East Carolina and Richmond departed from the conference while Tennessee-Chattanooga, Western Carolina, and Marshall joined. In 1977, the Apps went 2-9 on theseason and lost it Homecoming to Ball State, 38-7. Beck, recipi­ ent of the Jacobs Trophy and a third year Academic All-American, received the NCAA post graduate scholarship and was named All-SC. Duke and William and Mary left the SC. In 1978, the Mountaineers went 7-4 and lost a heartbreaking Homecoming, 35-34 to new league Members, East Tcnnesse State. Wide receiver Rick Beasley, running back Scott McConnell, de­ rive end Sammi Killman, and linebacker Pat Murphy were all named All-SC for ASU. In 1979, in Brakefield's last year of coaching, e Apps went 3-8 and lost to Tennessee-Chattal0°ga at Homecoming by a 24-21 score. The Apps were led by Beasley who was named SC athlete of e year, SC player of the year, and All-American >y dle Associated Press. Beasley was All-SC and ed the national stats in receiving for the Apps.

Appalachian challenges The Citadel By PHIL MCCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The Mountaineer football squad w ill play host to The Citadel this Saturday in an important Southern Conference matchup that promises to be a hard fought battle. The Citadel has won all four of its football games this season, two of which have come against such division I-A teams as Arkansas and Army. The Citadel is 1 -0 against Southern Conference teams with a 28-7 victory over East Tennessee State University on Sept. 19. App State, The Citadel, and the Thundering Herd of Marshall are currently in a three-way tie for first place in the SC, a conference that is extremely competetive this year. "This is a big, big game for both teams," said Bulldog head coach Charlie Taaffe. "The loser of this game is really at a disadvantage as far as the conference race goes. I think Boone is one of the toughest places in the league to play and I'm sure they'll have a great crowd." The explosive Citadel wishbone attack is lead by senior quarterback Jack Douglas. Douglas, the NCAA I-A all-time leader in rushing yardage by a quarterback, has rushed 67 times for 379 yards in the first four games of '92. Despite being sidelined last week because of an injury, Douglas is expected to start against ASU. "He turned his ankle in the third quarter of the Army game,"said Art Chase,TheCitadel assistant sports information director. 'The ankle is still a little tender, but he is listed as probable (for the game against App)." Douglas rushed for 82 yards on 26 carries in the win over Arkansas and completed five of seven passes for S8 yards. Junior fullback Everette Sands is also a threat in the Bulldog backfield. Sands, the Southern Con­ ference offensive player-of-the-week few the past two weeks, has gained 533 yards in just 86 at­ tempts. He is currently averaging 6.2 yards per carry. The Citadel defense is also a strong unit in this year's campaign. With only three starters back from a year ago, the Bulldog defense leads the SC in scoring de­ fense, allowing only 9.3 points per game, and pass defense by giving up only 56.8 yards a game. The Citadel also ranks second in the league in total defense, giving uponly 275.8 yards of total offense a game. The Mountaineers, coming fresh off its First Southern Conference game thispast weekend with a win over ETSU, will count on its experienced defense when the Bulldogs come to town. Avery Hall, ASU's all-SC defensive lineman, was named Southern Conference defensive player-of-the-week for his performance against ETSU on Sept. 26. Avery had 12 tackles, including four tackles for a loss, and one pass break-up last week. Brent David, the Apps' leading tackier with 39 slops, is questionable for the contest after fractur­ ing his right thumb against ETSU. The Mountaineer defense is tied for second in the SC by giving up only 4.3 yards-per-play and will be expected to come through against a red hot Bulldog squad. "We are facing the hottest team, not just in the Southern Conference, but in all ofl-AA football," said Appalachian Head Coach Jerry Moore. "The Appalachian Photo by Kandv iteuunn Citadel is building steam on the way to a whale of a year. They come into Boone with a whole lot of APPALACHIAN LOOKS FOR HOMECOMING VICTORY: The Mountaineers will enter their momentum and confidence, and we have to find a second week of Southern Conference action this Saturday as they host the Bulldogs of The Citadel. The Citadel is currently 4-0, a record which matches the best start in the school's history. way to slow them down." Davidson beats Appalachian 3-2 on final goal Mountaineers fall to 0-2 in the Southern Conference despite great match against 16th ranked Davidson By WILL ROTHSCHILD Appalachian Staff Writer Davidson used alate goal from Zack ^astmah to beat Appalachian State 3-2 in Southern Confer­ ence soccer action last Friday in Kidd Brewer Stadium. The goal broke a 2-2 tie with under nine minutes left in the match. The loss sent Appalachian to its second loss in the Southern Conference in as many outings. The Mountaineers stand at 2-5 overall on the year, and went searching for their first Southern Conference win of the season yesterday afternoon at Furman. Junior Brian Jillings kept the Mountaineers in the match, scoring both Appalachian goals. The first goal, at the3:30mark, tied the game at 1 -1 .The goal came off an assist from Brian Cone, who crossed die ball perfectly to Jillings in front of the Wildcat goal off a comer kick opportunity. Jillings second scoreof the aftemooncame at the 60:i25 mark in the second half and again drew the Apps even at 2-2. Sophomore Joel Nesbitt assisted on the play, giving him the fust point of his colle­ giate career. Appalachian had several chances to take the lead throughout the game. A Jillings goal was called back in the first half on an Appalachian hand ball, and senior Booby Martin's shot sailed wide of the goal midway through the second half on an emptyTtet, breakaway opportunity. "We had three or four golden chances and just didn't come up with the goal," Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex. "It was a great game, and it is a shame cither team had to lose. The entire match was back and forth, and there were a lot of momen­ tum swings." Davidsorij ranked 16lh in the nation, broke on top filst When John Sampers rifled a shot past Appalachian goalkeeper Jason Hockstra from 25 yards out at the 29:30 mark. Jillings First goal nine minutes later tied the match. The Wildcats retook the lead just two and a half minutes into the second half on a goal by Cliff Castclloe. Jillings, an All-Southern Conference selection in 1991, responded 13 minutes later. The 0-2 conference start is the worst-ever for an Appalachian soccer squad, but Rex isn't discour­ aged yet. "We are a good team," Rex commented. "We're getting better every game. We're doing a lot core things on attack than we did earlier in the year and we are playing better as a team." For the third time this season, the Mountaineers found themselves in a tight match with a ranked opponent at halftone against Davidson. For the third time this season, the Mountaineers were un­ able to close the deal in the second half. Against South Carolina, ranked 10th at the time, Appala­ chian was tied 2-2 at intermission and wound up losing 4-2. Against Wake Forest, the nation's 6th ranked team, the Mountaineers held a l-0halftime advantage before falling 5-1. The Mountaineers outshot the Wildcats 13-11 on the day and Hockstra, after posting a shutout in his First-ever collegiate match against UNCAsheville, played well, posting eight saves. After hitting the road at Furman yesterday, the Apps will return home to host Vandcrbilt this Sunday. Lady Apps compete in East Carolina Tourney By STACEY STILLS Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's tennis squad travelled to Greenville this past weekend to com­ pete in theLady Pirates Invitational at East Carolina University. In addition to ECU, Appalachian faced players from Peace College and UNC-Wilmington. Overall, ASU Head Coach Gene Fields was pleased with his squad's performance. "We werevery competitive with all three teams. I am seeing more and more aggressive and smart tennis being played. We are going out, spanking the ball, and having a good lime. I love it," Fields said. In singles competition, sophomore Kendra Stailings gave the best finish for the Lady apps as she made it to the Finals of the "B" flight. Accord­ ing to Fields, "Kendra did not have the best match in the final, but shedid extremely well to get there." Sophomore Alice Heidgerd also did extremely well for ASU in singles play, "She was up 5-3 in the second set and could have had it, but ECU just pulled ahead. She gave them a run for their money. The next time that she is in that position, I am sure that she will take the set, if not the match," Fields said. Other strong performances for ASU in singles were provided by Carrie Burton who fell to ECU's top recruit in the Finals and Amu Parille who, according to Fields, "had the best point of colle­ giate women's tennis that I have seen." Fields also noted the tremendous improvements made by the entire squad in doubles competition. Peggy Wein and Parille, who had only been prac­ ticing together for three weeks, went on to defeat UNC-Win the "B" doubles division by ascoreof 64,6-4. Brittany Schwartz, who became ill and left singles play, made a strong comeback in doubles with Jennifer Krueger, as they advanced to the Finals before falling to UNC-W. Fields said that he has been worried about the squad letting the pressure get to them at these opening tournaments, but was pleasantly surprised and pleased that this was not the case over the weekend. Appalachian State will travel to Blacksburg, VA on Oct. 16-17 to compete in the Virginia Tech Tournament. "I feel good about it. The girls have a terrific attitude and we have improved with every compe­ tition. I have no doubt that we will be able to continue," Fields said. ASU will round out fall play on Oct. 30-Nov. 1 as they compete in the UNC-W Tournament.

Vill Homecoming '92 xean anything to you? lomecoming has different meanings for different people. Traditionally, necoming is to honor Appalachian alumni and foster Appalachian school rit among alumni, students, faculty and staff. Unfortunately, homecoming turned into two separate celebrations; one for present students, faculty and ff; andone for alumni. If homecoming is supposed to reunite alumni with the versity,m«M«aivitke need to be planned that involveboth groups together. lomecoming activities offer everyone the chance to celebrate Appalachian nany different ways. Electing the homecoming court and queen, making its for the parade, going to the game, participating in CRSA homecoming vities, etc., allows students an opportunity to show school spiriL The blem with these activities is that alumni are not included in many of them, ny alumni go to the football game, but not many are included in pre-game vities. Instead, alumni hold their own meetings and parties. /e need to decide as a school if homecoming is to welcome the alumni or welcome their money. Monetary gifts are greatly appreciated by the versity, but the university needs to make an effort to include alumni in the I spirit of homecoming. This year the Classes of 1982,1977,1972 and 1967 having class reunions. The Class of 1982 has committed to date a class gift 113,082 and the Class of 1967 has committed to date a class gift of $6,760. ih the funding cutbacks from the state, we should show thanksfor these gifts, /hen planning next year's homecoming, students should sit down with mni and re-evaluate the present activities and decide if they are serving the mded purpose. If not, new activities need to be planned. Ve should not allow homecoming to become a meaningless tradition. When Class of 1993 graduates this May, they should look forward to returning to palachian as part of the university and not as guests. Alumni are part of the palachian family and should be treated as family—not as visitors.Students, s time to welcome alumni back and make them feel included in homecom. events. lomecoming is not just for drinking at a football game and painting an image Yosef on residence hall lobby windows. Homecoming is for showing your de in Appalachian and recognizing those that were here in the past and those t will be here in the future. Back to Nature By BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor Thank you, Appalachian State University, for the hugely successful"First Annual Back To Nature Weekend!" This past weekend was a time of reflection for me, and probably for many other students who live in the residence halls on campus. When did we become so dependent on water? I liked the no-water situation this weekend. I got to see what <tll of the people across campus really look like — before they shower! It was really neat, seeing all of those people who always come to class looking like they just stepped off the pages of a magazine advertisement... only this time, those people were reduced to theirnatural, smelly, unkempt condition. The experience was like taking the entire campus on a huge camping trip. Beautiful! I heard some people complain of smelly bodies and noflush toilets this weekend, but overall, I think it was a success. Everyone must have enjoyed it, because almost everyone who lives on campus participated in the event. Because of the event's huge success, I hereby declare the last weekend of every forthcoming Septemberto be official "ASU Back to Nature Weekend." During this time, we will cut off the water to everyone on campus, even the academic buildings. It will be great! Three days of love, peace and music, to be enjoyed without having to worry about what society tells us we have to wear and what we have to look like. I personally can't wait! Now, all I have to do is figure out a way to get everyone across the country to join in... By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor We are the generation who will makea difference! We hold the future in our hands. Join with me, all my fellow Appalachian brothers and sisters; let us make our voices heard, let us work for a better tomorrow. Have I spoken this from within my heart, or are these words of motivation simply an echoof a once sincerecall to action that has been ringing for generations? Do you honestly think college students today are breaking new ground on current issues? The fact is, topics such as abortion, war, environment, and presiden­ tial elections are OLD NEWS, folks. Everything we say today was said yesterday, or twenty years ago. Take the environment, for instance. "Ecology is an eternal thing. It supports man and we have to protect it" Sound familiar? This statement was made by Paul Bruhn, a student at ASU in 1972. The Appalachian featured an article about Bruhn and his environmental convictions intheMarch21,1972 edition entitled"Bruhn represents concern for environmental problems." Today students still wonder why people don't seem to care enough about our world. Are we getting any­ where? In 1972 students at ASU were concerned about legal­ ized abortion. On one hand, there was the opposition standing along side of organizations like Right-to-Life. One theother hand, there were students concerned about medical complications and overpopulation. "And, in­ deed, when discussing population growth in the years to come the freedom of choice is a vital consideration, for there may be few choices left to the individual in a world frenzied with the problems of overpopulation." This quote was taken from "Population Bomb," an article in the Maroh 21,1972 edition of The Appalachian. Today we have different arguments, different angles, but the problem.remains. Are we making progress? Those of us who remember Desert Storm (I assume that's all of us) recall with vividemotions the short-lived war against Iraq. There were students who protested and displayed open disgust for our President and his deci­ sion. And there were students who stood by the opera­ tion with beliefs that our nation was on the right and necessary path. Anxious opposition towards Desert Storm claimed a Vietnam #2 would evolve. Supporters denied such predictions. I remember a lot of confusion. Chris Yopp, an ASU student in 1972, saw a similar picture of chaos when he observed the arguments over Vietnam. "All the rhetoric has proven is that there are many ways to view the war and that very few people hold a consistent point of view." Yopp wrote this in "Catch Phrase," a letter published in the May 2, 1972 issue of The Appalachian. With trouble still brewing in Vietnam and the presi­ dential election between Nixon and McGovem. 1972 gave students a lot to think about as far as their future was concerned. Nixon proposed a peace plan, but "the opponents of the President called the move a political stunt to be used on the eve of election", according to Phil Chisholm and Randy Smith. Chisholm and Smith sub­ mitted a letter entitled "Vietnam demonstration ques­ tioned" in the April 11, 1972edition of The Appalachian, and asked students to write in support of one solution so that quicker results would develop. Nixon was criticized. McGovem was criticized. And the praises of both candidates were sung in the other concerns of society. A presidential race is a presidential race. I think we all know that by now. Candidates still point fingers in the other direction and voters are still confused and discouraged, because no one is sure that they know the facts or if the facts are even available, haven't we learned by now? Whether we are moving up or down, we seem to be rotating in a spiral motion. Circles, folks, we're moving in circles. Students even complained about the food on campus twenty years ago. Molly Wankel wrote "Pangs of Hunger", published in the Nov, 14, 1972 issue of The Appalachian. Her two main questions were "Why are the prices of meals so high?", and "Why is the selection and quality of food so poor?" Food Services has come a long way from 1972. Today we have a salad bar, vegetarian meals, and variety. Everyone knows, however, that our campus food is the subject of much complaining. Are we ever satisfied? The human race, in its attempt to move forward, has succeeded in repeating actions, movements, and con­ cerns over and over for generations. Time continues to progress — have we? Twenty years ago students our own age were making similar speeches on social and political concerns. Now those people have moved on to take positionsof authority in the "real world", and we ale the one's pleading for change. We are the future as they were in their day. Twenty years from now, will students have to repeat our efforts to make the world a belter place? We've been screaming for at least twenty years, folks. We'd better start seeing some results before we lose our voices. Letters from 1972 reflect today's concerns We have the right to "Do it," so VOTE To the Editor Why play politics? "I'm just so mixed up and mad about the shape the world is in that I'm not even going to vote." That response came from the mouth of a college junior; could it possibly have escaped your lips too? I guess I'm part of the minority who thinks that the nation has not digressed so far that its principles and policies are irreconcilable. When you say "I am an American", does it mean anything to you? Are we (even as young and innova­ tive as we students are) so quick to accept cynicism and apathy as an escape route because we are honestly too lazy or are too intimidated by public opinion to take a stand on issues and voice our own opinions? That says too, too little about the people who are going to inherit this country's political legacy in the few years to come. What are we waiting for? Come on - let's get our feet wet Let's commit ourselves. Help us put our mark on America's destiny - please VOTE!!! If you haven't decided which candidate you're willing to support then it is your duty to find out each nominee's platform and conclude for yourself which man's policies coincide with yours. There ire volunteer organizations here on campus which are eager to answer any questions you may have concerning the respective candidates. I attended my first campaign meeting tonight, and I got fired up -1 want to do my part to see that McGovem is elected. Don't you owe the candidate of your choice your support by volunteering your time, your energy, and your pride both personal and political pride - in the hope that your dreams of a better world in our lifetime can be realized? Diane Robertson 220 Lovill Hall Editor's Note: "Do it!" is a reprint concerning the 72'presidential election between Nixon and McGovem. The letter was originally published in the Sept. 22,1972 edition of The Appala­ chian. War addressed in letter to students "Asphyxiated "from environmental apathy Editor's Note; The following is an open letter to American students concerning the April 22 "Demonstra­ tion against the War." The student movement has been a major force responsible for creating majority antiwar sentiment in this country. In 1965 when they told us this was the "first consensus war in American history," it was students who organized teach-ins to question that consensus. In 1966 and 1967 it was students who helped shatter that consensus. It was students who organized the first mass marches which have involved other sections of society in active opposition to the war. Today, 65% of the American people believe that the war is immoral - in large measure because of the work of the student antiwar movement. The only thing that stands between majority antiwar SENTIMENT and majority anitwar ACTION is a lie - the lie that the war is winding down. The facts are that the bombing is heavier than ever before and Nixon plans to About the cartoon to the left The Appalachian, Editorials/ Opinions Page 2, Friday, Oct 27, 1972.

In the first three months of 1972, Nixon has sent more bombing raids against North Vietnam than IN ALL OF 1971. The student movement must take the lead in exposing Nixon's lies. Nixon, the man responsible for the invasion of Cambodia and Laos, would like nothing better in this election year than to point to the campuses of America and say, "I have silenced antiwar dissent. America is united behind my 'plans for peace.'" Nixon has incredible resources at his disposal — free TV time, crack public relations teams, and millions of dollars. All we have are the meetings we can organize, the leaflets we can pass out, and the mass demonstrations we can build. But then, Nixon has to maintain the most ambitious network of lies the world has ever seen. All we have to do is to tell the truth about Vietnam. There are massive, peaceful demonstrations for the immediate, total, unconditional withdrawal of ALL U.S. forces from Southeast Asia and an end to the bombing NOW! scheduled for Saturday, April 22 in New York and Los Angeles. The decisive majority now oppose the war. By united massive actions by the antiwar majority we will end the war.

The k's location was pinpointed Monday iming between the Appalachian police Uding and the tennis courts, and fixed a that afternoon. ASU police logs reported that at 6:22 n. Sunday morning Mountaineer Apartnt building F-61 was without water. At 7:34 a.m. the report said water was out all over campus. Maintanence was work­ ing on the situation. A drop in water pressure midnight on Saturday alerted officials that the water system had a leak. A visual investigation was conducted. After no outward signsof a leak were found, chlorine samples were taken at various locations on campus. The amount of chlorine would have indi­ cated the water had been treated for hu­ man consumption. Rainfall caused an obstacle in the test because the chlorine was diluted by the rain. The leak caused the university to re­ ceive approximately half of the water pumped ontocampus. Eighty-three thou­ sand gallons are pumped to campus, but only 40,000 gallons was getting through. Administrators decided tocut off water to residence halls and to keep water flow­ ing to academic and administration build­ ings. Water to residence halls was cut off to allow enough pressure to fire hydrants. Water to residence halls could not be maintained without jeopardizing the cam­ pus in case of fire. "Facilities called up Sunday morning. and said they were working on the pipes," said Charles Bowes, resident assistant in East residence hall. "We had absolutely no water, except for thirty minutes Sun­ day when they turned on water to flush toilets. It was disgusting." Coffey residence halls water was not turned off because Coffey is considered an academic building. East Hall, which houses Watauga College, Women'sStud­ ies and Interdisciplinary Studies, had its water turned off. On-campus students complained Mon­ day about the uncertainty of the situation. "As an RA on campus it's very difficult for me to keep my residents informed of any changes in the water condition or keep rumors to a minimum if I am not updated on the situation," said Tasha Roberts. "It would be nice if the Univer­ sity would implement a system to relay information during a crisis such as the water leak." Administrators originally thought the leak would be a bigger problem. Officials had discussed closing the university for a few days if the leak had not been cor­ rected. The closing would have substi­ tuted for Fall Break. Since WASU is off the air, the University would have noti­ fied students of any closings through The Appalachian, local radio stations, RAs, and television stations. The university had been preparing to upgrade the university water system when the leak happened. Two weeks ago the slate provided $860,000 for emergency maintanence to better the system. A study of the water system is in place. Now that the money is available, the university can begin to fix the system. Bids are being taken to begin the process. Phase II to begin VASU 90.5 By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor ff the air Phase II construction of the student union will begin as soon as renovations to the second floor finish, expected by the end of November. "There are lots of ifs," said David Robertson, director of Student Programs. Robertson predicted a January ground breaking for the student union addition. Workers will tear down Workman Hall before beginning construction of the ad­ ditional building. The new building will be three stories set around a tower-like structure. The completion of the building is tentatively set for two years. The first floor of the new building will be level with the first floor of the original student union. An expanded Sweet Shop, bigger in space and selection, will occupy the lower section of the tower. Robertson described the new Sweet Shop as having a "feeling of a shopping mall" eatery. A deli and salad bar are a few of the added features. A ballroom/meeting room and a meeting room to replaceOur House will be located on the ground level. The ballroom/meeting room is a big SUZI LANDIS palachian News Editor WASU is temporiarily off the air until idnesday evening. A malfunctioning t on the transmitter caused the radio lal to go off the air early Monday ming. The part was ordered approximately weeks ago and is expected to be in iorrow.

Robertson stressed the importance of the greek community being able to have for­ mal dances and events on campus. The second floor of the tower will be open with a walkway on the outer borders and a walkway connecting the building with the old union. Student Programs offices, A.P.P.S. offices, meeting rooms, a meeting room to replace the Forum Room, and a 24-hour study room with computers is also slated for the second level. The 24-hour study room will open as an experiment at first, said Robertson. The room will have designated hours un­ til there is a demand from students to expand to a 24-hour system. The study room will be available based on needs of the students. The computer equipment in the room will be determined by available funds at a later date.

It is open to °ne interested in the quality of life in Boone, said Wayne Herron, town senior planner. An open letter to the citizens of Boone states the meeting will "focus on making Boone morelivable: neighborhood parks, better and more attractive streets, greenways, bikeways, shopping, schools, community appearance, alternatives to the automobile, etc." Appalachian student and member of the Citizen's Committee HunterSchofield, described the gathering as a grass-roots town meeting. "Input received at the meeting will be the heart of the town comprehensive plan," said Schofield. "Everyone's contributions are consid­ ered," he added. A handout on the town meeting states "the results of this meeting will influence actions by the town of Boone on street and sidewalk improvements, land use and zoning changes, parks, bikeways and pe­ destrian ways, commerical and residen­ tial development, and other matters of concern to you." All Appalachian students are encour­ aged to attend the meeting and offer their suggestions. "We're excited about stu­ dent input," said Schofield. "Economi­ cally, students and the university are at the heart of Watauga County." The town meeting will be an informal, small group set-up. Each member of the Citizen's Committee will lead a small group discussion. The group will write down their ideas and suggestionson a flip board. The suggestions of each group will be posted on the walls of the Hardin Park cafeteria. Everyone at the meeting receives five gold stars which they place beside the five ideas they feel are most important. The town meeting is the kickoff of the Town Comphrensive Plan said Herron. People will hear what the residents want by attending the town meeting. The Citizen's Committee will then generate a document with policiesof what the public wants. The Town Council votes to adapt the policies. Once the policies are passed, they are prioritized and figured into the town budget for the next five years. Herron explained that each year when the town begins its yearly budget, the first couple of projects are figured into the budget for that year while the other projects move up on the list. Anyone whodoes not have transportation but is interested in attending the meet­ ing cancatch the Appalcart at Whitener at 6:50 p.m. "I think that it is critical that students get involved in the process because not only will their suggestions be heard but will eventually become part of the plan," said Schofield. A facilitator has been hired to conduct the meeting. The meeting will last only two hours. Democratic platform addresses issues in hopes of an upset By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Assistant News Editor The presidential race heats up, and the Democrats threaten to bring 12 years of Republican leadership to an end. The presidential election is the hottest in years and war veteran George Bush is running a close second to the Democratic "new kid on the block" Bill Clinton. Clinton's platform stresses several is­ sues starting with the economy. The Republican years in the White House have seen a growth in inflation and a reduction in a number of jobs available. Clinton's proposals for how to get the economy started clearly focus on trans­ forming the pre-cold war United States to a post-cold war state. One of Clinton's ideas on how tocreate more jobs is to offer incentives for mili­ tary men discharged to enter the police force, thereby making our streets safer and creating up to 10,000 new jobs. Clinton proposes to "ensure tax fair­ ness," "open up world markets,"and "re­ duce the middle class tax burden. Governor Clinton proposes to over­ haul the health-care system, due to the fact that we currently spend 1/3 more on health care than any other country and get less for it. Clinton also proposes to cut 100,000 "unnecessary bureaucratic positions" through attrition and mandate 3 percent acToss-the-board savings in every federal agency. Finally,Clinton proposes toeliminate taxpayer subsidies for lobbyists and special interests. Clinton's wide-sweeping changes are not new to his constituents in his home state of Arkansas. Under Clinton's lead­ ership the state has progressed ffom the lowest employment in the country to one of the highest. Clinton, however, did promise the vot­ ers of Arkansas if he was elected gover­ nor he would not run for president. ASU senior Evan Smith, when asked about Clinton, said "I'm voting for Bill Clinton because our country is in desper­ ate need of change at the top down and 1 feel that Clinton is the best hope we have now. I am not willing to wait four more years for someone better to come along." The Democratic headquarters is lo­ cated on King Street just past the court­ house on the right. The race for governor in North Caro­ lina is between Jim Hunt-D and Jim Gardner-R. Hunt is running on the plat- form of efficient government and im­ proving the educational system. "North Carolina needs a governor who not only knows and supports the state's agricul­ ture, but federal agriculture programs as well. Being a farmer himself, Jim Hunt knows the importance of both," said Jim Graham, the state commissioner of agri­ culture. Democrat Steve Neal is running for congress and is running on a "strong competitive economy." His plan is three­ fold. First, he will try to balance the budget by supporting tfie balanced bud­ get amendment to the constitution. Sec­ ond, he will try to limit taxes to 20 percent of the G.N.P. and finally, keep inflation down through his "zero inflation" plan. The debate between the Young Demo­ crats and the Young Republicans is now scheduled for October, and will be mod­ erated by ASU's professor Morgan. This is the third in a series of four articles that seek to determine the politi­ cal atmosphere on campus. Voter registration will continue until Oct. 3. The next and last installment of this series will concern the debate between the Democrats and Republicans.

Gurley d that "in the past the SGA has suprted greek-funding housing, but a prosal, if more concrete, would have to be ssed through thenew Senate," although university does not need SGA ap)val. Gurley also said he feels greek J alumni donate more back to the school than other alumni. Jim Street, assistant director of the Center forStudentlnvolvement and Lead­ ership, said hisoffice is"excited about the possibility" because they feel it will"help the greek system and give a stronger sense of community." Street said that currently "the national organizations that the greeks belong to do not recognize the houses that certain chapters reside in as their official houses because they don't own them."

The four local writers, three of whom are ASU professors, donated their time as part of the nationwide Writer's Harvest for the Homeless. The reading was part of a national reading orga­ nized by Share Our Strength (SOS), one of the nation s largest non-jxofit sources of funds for hunger and homelessness relief. The day after the Appalachian reading, writers nationwide took the books to benefit SOS. The writers include English professors Lynn Doyle and Peter Turchi, along with interdiscipli­ nary studies professor Kay Smith and Boone writer Doug McGuinn. Dr. Doyle and Dr. Smith each read selectionsof their poetry while Dr.Turchi and Mr. McGuinn each shared an original short story. The reading offered excellent opportunity to hear original works by members of our own faculty. There is something quite moving about hearing writers read their own works and this was soon discovered by everyone in attendance. Thereading was a great success with a turnout of around sixty people, and raised $240.00. Lynn Doyle, organizer of the benefit said the national SOS office was very pleased with the success of the ASU reading. The event was featured on the news at WBTV in Charlotte and in the Charlotte Ob­ server on Wednesday. Dr. Doyle opened the reading with some facts on the seriousness of the hunger problem in the U.S. Some of these statistics included: -one in every eight American children suffer from hunger -one in four children are at risk of hunger -more than 20 million Americans experience some degree of hunger each week -in 1991, demand for emergency food relief increased by an average of 26 percent in 28 major U.S. cities. Hunger and homelessness in the U.S. are on the rise and are very serious issues which need to be addressed. According to Jim Thompson, Boone Hospitality House director, there is a definite need in Watauga County to help the homeless. The Hospitality House serves 25 to 40 people daily providing meals and shelter. All of the proceeds raised at the reading will go toward the Hospitality House and the people it serves. You can still make contributions to the SOS project several ways. Share Our Strength has orchestrated the publicationof several books whose proceeds benefit SOS's programs: 45 major short fiction authors donated original works to create "Louder Than Words"and "Voices Louder Than Words: A Second Collec­ tion," both of which are available in the ASU bookstore. You may also contact SOS for further information at 1-800-222-1767. After the success of the benefit, Doylesaid ASU's participa­ tion in the reading will likely become an annual event.

Conway brings alive interest in cultures and folklore Appalachian professor is interested in southern culture, fiddlers and story telling in the Blue Ridge Mountains The Appalachian community is more than a college campus set in the mountains. It is an area rich in folklore and culture which many are not aware of. Dr. Cecelia Conway, a professor in Appalachian's English department, is interested in this folklore and shares her enthusiam through her teaching and projects. Conway has made several videos and films that relate to folklore. They mostly spotlight certain individuals, usually musician in their commun­ ity. "[The films] offer a method of study that help viewers appreciate a community and focus on why they do things the way they do. They reveal the values, fears and ways that are important to the community," she said. Not only do the films help educate people who may not be aware of folklore, they also enrich the lives of the people being filmed. Conway is mostly interested in southern culture, "especially music and how ethnic communities have related and exchanged cultural ideas and folklore." She has researched the history of the banjo, which was brought to the United States by Africans. In the mid-19th century, white southerners became fascinated with the instrument, which is now re­ garded as a "symbol for mountain whites." Many old fiddlers or storytellers appreciate the fact that their art and their talent is being recog­ nized, and this makes a difference in the quality of their own lives. Currently, Conway is waiting for her new book to be published. It is about the banjo and should be out by next year. She is also working on her second film about a fiddler in Suny, North Carolina, entitled "My Old Fiddle." By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer As a child in Texas, Conway went to school in the city but spent her summers in the country with olderpeople, where she "became interested in their ways as well as in modern ways." However, it wasn't until her college years as an English major at Duke and UNC-Chapel Hill that she truly became interested in folklore. It was then that Conway spent time with old-time musicians and went to fiddler conventions. The old-time music festivals inspired Conway the most. "The sense of community and concern with authenticity and striving for high standards interested me," she said. Conway began teaching at ASU in 1987, and presently teaches English as well as folklore class. She encourages students tolook at their own family histories and to discover the folklore in their own lives. She also uses literature to show how folklore contributes artistically to novels. "Folklore, like studies of literature, provides a way to understand our own and othercommunities and to have compassion for other individuals," Conway said. Studying folklore not only helps people under­ stand different ways of life, but also helps them learn about themselves. "It's an opportunity to look at human concerns and traditions at a time when they were less influenced by mass media and big business," Conway said. Our own Appalachian community has more folklore and history than many people realize. Watauga County is an area "very vital to folklore," according to Conway. There are several blues musicians, fiddlers, ballad singers, and instrument makers in the region. Several of these artists have won North Carolina or National Heritage awards, which is an honor showing appreciation of the person's lifetime achievements to culture and art. As a university, ASU has many aspects of folk­ lore itself. Many ghost stories are passcdaround. "We're very fortunate to have a rich folk culture about us and to have programs in the university that appreciate, study and encourage the culture," Conway said. if you've had it up to your armpits in football activities, DJ dances and doing homcevery night since you've maxed out your astercard, there is only one thing to do: wait for siow.

Appalachian Staff Writer Papers, classes, exams, meetings and parties can take up a lot of time in a busy college student's life. When this happens, we tend to forget how impor­ tant nutrition, stress management and exercise really are. All of the healthy habits we learned at home have been pushed to the bottom of our priority list. But never fear!! That's where the Wellness Center comes to the rescue. The Wellness Center is located on the second floor of the Student Support building. Here you can find almost any support group imaginable. These groups include a weight management pro­ gram, a stress management program, a diabetic support group and a clinic to help you stop smok­ ing. The WellnessCenter also has a large variety of educational programs that offer information on different topics. These topics include nutrition, emotional awareness, eating disorders, relation­ ship dilemmas, goalsetting and much more! These programs are offered in two different ways: indi­ vidual counseling and support groups. These groups have specific times and days when they meet and a schedule is available at the Wellness Center. If you would like to talk to someone pri­ vately, you should call the Wellness Center and make an appointment to seeone of the counselors. The Wellness Center has proved to be a success­ ful program that has helped a wide variety of students. Last year, the Wellness Center provided services for approximately 3,700 students. A sur­ vey was conducted at the end of the 91-92 school year inquiring about the helpfulness and produc­ tivity of the center. Eighty percent of the students surveyed had a positive response. Not only are support programs offered at the Wellness Center but they offer an outreach pro­ gram as well. This is a program that is made available through residence life. Students from the Wellness Center come to the residence halls for seminars on important health issues.The Wellness Center also works with food services. This year they have worked together to provide the students a choice of low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat or skim milk and several vegetarian dishes. The Wellness Center has information that ev­ eryone can use because good health is important to everyday life. When one of the counselors for the Wellness Center, Kit Olson, was asked what piece of advice she would give to college students today, she responded with a quote by the former Secretary of Health Education and Welfare,Joseph Califano. "You, the individual can do more for your health and well-being than any doctor, any hospital, any drug or any exotic medical device." If you're having a problem, or just interested in knowing more about health issues, visit the Wellness Center because your health is something that can never be replaced.

No two sones snunH ih*• Osbourne. songs sound the same BvKRJSTa dtai ct By KRISTA PIALET Appalachian Staff Writer What are you doing on Thursday, Oc­ tober 1? If you like hard rock-n-roll and want to hear it played right, then you should be at the Elk's Rack in Banner Elk. That Thursday night will be your last chance to see JADE play live in the High Country. JADE is a hard-core rock-n-roll band that plays primarily original songs - such as "Teaze," "Flight of the Dove and Dance as well as cover songs by Skid Row, Kiss, The Ramones and Ozzy and the energy never stops. "Hard-core" is the simplest way to describe their mu­ sic, but theirsound goes way beyond that. There are always a lot of local bands in college towns. Most of those bands, how­ ever, tend to follow the same musical route and end up sounding very much alike. It s really good to know that there are still bands around making music that is different and bold. Music that really stands out and makes people take notice. The guys in the band:Chris Brady- drums, Chris Morrison - guitar/vocals and Paul Nance - bass, have been playing together for two years. Slew Davis - vocals - just j.. _ joined them this year. They live in a house where they practice every day, perfecting every song. These guys are serious about their music and that comes through in their performances. I he band has gone from practicing in a tiny shed outside of Boone, to playing in several Charlotte clubs, including The Palomino, Jeremiah's and O'Maley's. They participated in a "Battle of the Bands in Charlotte and were recognized by a local Charlotte radio station, 95.7 W'XRC. Boone hasn't been quite bold enough to have JADE play, but the band has played in Banner Elk several times. In December, they are going to Nashville to KNOCKOUT D£A j:„„ pursue their music and sign a recording contract. JADE's show at the Elk's Rack on October 1 promises to be a show you won't soon forget. Their music is for true hard-core fans but it is also for anyone who just appreciates great musical talent. If you are the kind of person who likes to sit quietly and watch a band play, then JADE is not for you. A JADE show is much too energetic for that. Every song keeps you on your feet, dancing, slam­ ming, whatever you feel like doing. It's totally uninhibited. And since this is their last show in this area, you really can't afford to miss it. i FREE Curling Iron ($15.00 vab with any regular priced Pfrii RELAXER with this adS AT TOTAL IMAGE SA.L(j BOONE HEIGHTS DRIVE * BESIDE ri ,b I APPAL CART STOPS ACROSsSN v, Classifieds PROFESSIONAL WORD PROCESSORS/ 1 YPISTS: "Resumes and Cover Letters • Mas­ ter Theses (ASU approved) • Term Papers • Marketing Papers • Graphs/Tables • l.aser Printed.

Appalachian State broke into the win column on Saturday with a 38-14 Southem Conference win over East Tennessee Slate University in front of21,611 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Mountaineer defense got some help from the special teams in the first half and jumped out to a 14-0 lead before the ASU offense got on track. The App defense came up big on the first drive of the game when it held die Buccaneers scoreless despite having first and goal on the Mountaineer one yard line. The ETSU drive covered 59 yards on 14 plays while consuming 7:11 off of the game clock. "It goes widiout saying that the goalline stand was a big factor early in the bal1 game," said Jeny Moore, the Mountain­ eer head coach. "It had to hurt them to get down there like that and not get on the board." The Mountaineers first score came when ETSU's David Rockhold fumbled a "Harold (Alexander) is real good for giving us time to get down there and bottle them up, " said Fuller. "Matt was there and stripped the ball. All I had to do was pick it up and run." Mountaineer special teams were also responsible fur the second score of the game. This timeChad Gore, a junior from As he bo ro, N.C., blocked a punt by the Buccaneers' Jim Kantowski and watched as Rico Mack scooped it up and ran 41 yards for the touchdown. "We work on it (special teams) every week and try to figure out their blocking schemes." said Gore."The linebackers in front of me occupied the upback and it worked out perfectly, the hole was right there where they (the ASU coaches) said it would be."

The Lady Mountaineer field hockey squad capitalized on its first victory of the season Sunday defeating the Lady Indi­ ans of Catawba College by the scoreof 10 at Kidd Brewer Stadium. According to ASU Head Coach Cathy Burleson, her squad "was a little slow getting started and did not play as well as 1 had hoped during the first half. However, this was due in part to the wet and rainy condi­ tions. During the second half, the girls were a little more confident in their play." The second half was a key period for Appalachian State when sophomore for­ ward Rachael Megec scored the only goal for the Lady Apps with eleven minutes remaining on the game clock. Burleson felt that her squad put forth a good team effort, taking a collective 24 shots on the goal compared to five shots on the goal taken by the Lady Indians. The Lady Mountaineers also had five penalty corners to outweigh their oppo­ nents by one, as Catawba totalled four in the game. In addition to Megce, the Lady Apps were led by the performances of senior forward Shannon Smith and freshman forward Barry Clyatt. Senior link Melissa Puckett and fresh­ man defensive player Dcnisc Whyte also chipped in for ASU while goalkeeper Mattic Jean Huntdid well in thecage with three saves. As a whole, Burleson was very pleased with the squad's performance event though she felt that the girls were better prepared mentally for the game against Davidson College last week. Burleson also noted that the support the gills received from their familiesover Parents Weekend made a big difference and was really appreciated. The squad plans or. taking a dayoff this week before starting up again with inten­ sive practice and a game against Pfciffer College on Thursday. Burleson seems very confident of the Lady Apps in this match and is hoping for Appalachian's second win of the season.

The leak was found late Monday morning; repair began ]j{f|imediately. Even though water was shut off to most residence halls during lis period, the whole situation was handled as smoothly as possible by 6p niversity administrators and staff. Appalachian should be congratulated on jeeeeding to remedy a difficult situation as quickly as possible and with as ttle inconvenience as possible. When the drop in water pressure was discovered, physical plant workers :gan to search the area for visual signs of leakage. When this search did not veal the sourceof the leak, workers began to test for chlorine in the water near " s. Water treated for human use contains chlorine; so if chlorine was found, leak would be near by. Unfortunately, the rainfall this weekend diluted the llorine in the water and made it more difficult to find the leak. The leak was discovered under the street between the security building and le tennis courts on Monday. That afternoon, workers began to fix the leak and e water was restored to residence halls. Although having the water turned off in the residence halls was an inconveence for many students, the university made the correct decision to protect lir safety first. Water was cut off to the residence halls to maintain the water ipply to fire hydrants and sprinkler systems in case of a fire. If the water had ien left on in residence halls and a fire had broken out, there would not have ten enough water to pump to the scene to put the fire out. Yes, having the water cut off in residence halls seemed a little "gross" to •me students, but we should remember that people did not always shower ery day. There were also many years when flushing toilets were not even an ition. Students should have patience with uncontrollable problems. No one 11 die from a lack of a shower for two days. This was an emergency that had to be taken care of. It was an inconvenience many people, but that is not a reason to blame the university for the problem, eryone should understand that the administrators and staff did their best. Water was maintained in academic buildings to allow students to use Urooms and water fountains. According to Vice Chancellor for Student evelopment Dr.Greg Blimling, if the problem had not been fixed when it was, e university may have been closed for a few days. If this had happened, fall •eak would have been moved to those days and classes would have been held ct. 8 and 9. Not everyone will shed tears of sorrow when Thomas is gone By JONATHAN WATTERSON Appalachian Columnist When Dr. John Thomas announced his impending retirement as Appalachian's chancellor, many in the ASU and Boone communities answered predictably by singing his praises, citing every achievement of the university in the past 13 years as examples of his fearless leadership. Either they are ignorant of or they ignore the facts of his track record. First, not all the changes at Appalachian have been for the better. True, our reputation has achieved national status, as heralded in repealed citations in "U.S. News and World Report's" annual "BestColleges" issues. The programs of study have expanded, especially innovative programs like interdisciplinary studies. However, the student body in recent years has grown at breakneck speed. Far from improvement, this has caused deterioration in educational quality, as the num­ ber of students outgrows the facilities to support them, especially during the recent budget crunch. Have you ever had to wait semesters for a spot in a required class? Ever been in a huge class where you're known by your social security number? This happens at a school where one of the main selling points has always been small, intimate classes, classes generally unavailable at giants like the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. The effects of 11,650 students' automobiles on the environment of the Boone valley cannot be overlooked either. Furthermore, Thomas' style of leadership is not ap­ propriate to a progressive, enlightened university envi­ ronment. Behind his benevolent, bearded smiling face lurks an incorrigible authoritarian. In an infamous speech By ADAM HATCH Assistant News Editor \ As a long-time fan of Public Enemy, the pro-black, militant rap group that brought us "By the Time I Get to Ari­ zona" and "Can't Truss It," I feel that the group has finally stepped over the bounds of good taste and morality. Perhaps we should go back a bit to a more familiar controversy that has been started by Public Enemy. Withthehelpof "Sista' Souljah," the group attacked the state of Arizona for its lack of celebration during the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Now, I am a fan of" King as much as anyone, and I believe his principles of nonviolence and peace regarding adver­ saries speak of the remarkable strength of the black race. I also believe his idealism was far ahead of his time. How else can Edited by BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor hie following quotes are taken from the editorial pages of two different college lewspapers. They areincluded to foster discussion of the family values issue that las seemingly become important in the current political campaign. "ho let Dan Quayle off his government-issue leash? Who appointed him moral •stodian of our country or thechampion of the common people? His speech writers iVe him spouting the common morals thing again. First, he attacked unwed others. It's worth noting that 'unwed' is one of the most value-packed words ever 0ught up to describe the state of being single. Do they ever say 'unwed' fathers? o sex education in schools, he says to the moral majority minds. Never mind that IDs (that's that Democratic disease, isn't it?) kills and that sexually transmitted ^ases are all over the place and the education to combat them isn t, he says. 0tT,osexuals shouldn't be parents, he coos, and you know, thathomosexuahty stuff ^Jj g m 111 t tnrtillnr fnr a matter of choice anyway, like whether you'll have toast or tortillas for 'eakfi ast." -The Daily Lobo, University of New Mexico we still support his beliefs decades after his death at the hands of a misguided assassin? I DO NOT, however, believe that a constitutional expression of speech allows for Public Enemy to advocate or depict the assassination of the Gov. of Arizona with automatic weapons. I be­ lieve that Rev. King would never stand behind this action which he fought so hard to prevent. Being a fan has naturally made me anxious about when anew album will be cut by Public Enemy. I recently saw their new video while watching CNN. The video is called "Hazy Shade of Criminal". While the video criticizes the justice sys­ tem, I have a problem with its content and feel that Public Enemy may finally be due for some censoring. The American justice system may very. well be biased against blacks and other minorities; do we deny this? No. The system needs more judges and a better system of public defense; do we deny this? No. Is it not a fact that more blacks are executed across the country than any otherrace? But is it morally conscionable to allow a group to depict the glory of the murder of blacks and whites in the Los Angeles riots to promote highly radical equality at any cost? No. I thought that's what the four men at the lunch counter in Greensboro, and the people who fought the dogs and fire hoses in Mississippi fought against. All themartyrs that PublicEnemy fights for would not approve of their new (in the last six years) violent, almost anarchist zeal. I feel as though the "equal," how­ ever beaten .truck driver in the riots would not have gotten help from any member of Public Enemy. The video, "Hazy Shade of Criminal," also shows some true scenes as well as mock scenes from the riots. The video even includes scenes of shooting fire­ fighters! For God's sake, those people were there19 stQpfrqnftep ffpti) Riming to the ground! Black and white homes in­ discriminately. It is very hard to tell what Public Enemy's true aim actually is. They say they want equality but will kill to get it. That is not equality. Hey, I thought we didn't like seeing people getting beaten and killed: anybody remember Rodney King? I feel that blacks and other minorities are quite equal; I believe that the majority shares this opinion. We are all here to help one another and I feel that Public Enemy's"contribution" to this advancement of equality acts only as a detriment. It is time to put this childish play with guns and sticks behind us. If we do not, we are no better than the weak cowardswho dragged alone worker from his truck and beat him mercilessly. People for Animal Liberation is no joke NOTED AND QUOTED —The Daily Nebraskan, The University of Nebraska perfect examples of crooked schemers. Yet, by deliber­ ately disregarding the needsof his constituency, Thomas has proven himself to be a worthy politician. Paradoxically, it is almost unfortunate that Thomas is retiring now. He is receiving the academic equivalent of an honorable discharge. More in order would be a Nixon-style deportation. Thomas must be fully aware that his base of support among students, faculty, staff and even his own admin­ istration has long been withering. He quite possibly timed his retirement to avoid a revolt. As we enter into the process of selecting a new figurehead, the challenge is ours to prevent the rise of a Chancellor John II. We must remember that we, the students, faculty and staff, are the university. We must tell the administration and search committee that we will only accept a chancellor that will listen to the entire ASU community and always take its voice into account. Be willing to repeat yourself until you are heard. There will be no ballots, no voter registrars. But this national election season will serve as an opportunity for ad hoc democracy for the ASU community—if we only stand forward and seize it. Doubtless Thomas is a perfectly congenial man in his personal life. But this does not concern us. Only his professional conduct, in handling the university's affairs, matters to us. He has imposed his personal agenda on the university, explicitly denying that the students, faculty and staff whom his decisions affect have any role in ASU's decisions. The university does not need this Machiavel­ lian style of leader. We must remember this constantly this year and we must speak out. I know many will join me in bidding good riddance to John Thomas. Public Enemy crosses the line of equality a People rub shoulders with the wrong of the world so much, that they re calluscd. I°mosexuality is wrong.

We've got to stop accepting things e way they are, stop tolerating wrong." to the council of chairs and deans in spring 1990, he compared ASU to a train and himself to the conductor. Thus, he said, the rest of the ASU community has two choices: follow along or get off. In his acts as chancellor he has repeatedly lived up to his own autocratic standard. In the eyes of this dictator, the important matter is not academic excellence but prestige. Thus, essential but low-profile facilities like the library are neglected in favor of public image-mak­ ing. The paradigm example is the now familiar affair surrounding the proposed Student Activities Center. It began as part of a slate-wide package deal thought up by several Raleigh legislators, including our district's representative, Dave Diamont. Thomas' administration seized the project behind doors of bureaucratic discre­ tion as a chance to promote ASU through high-profile athletics in the image of UNC-CH, with a Dean Dome copy. Thomas condescendingly ignored the vociferous protests of the students and faculty. Last summer, he even disregarded requests by legislators to stop request­ ing state money for the SAC, though keeping the SAC on the bond bill endangered the entire UNCsystem's chance for new buildings. Ironically, the arena was finally dropped from the bill at the direct request of Diamont, its original supporter. Say what you will about politicians in Raleigh and everywhere else. For all their flaws, they remain beholden to their constituency. Diamont reversed his stance after meeting with a group of ASU students and professors presenting the case against the SAC. For this responsiveness to the citizens he is to be commended as a true democrat, in the original, uncapitalizcd sense. As the affair displayed Diamont's colors, so did it expose Thomas'. In the common American folklore of occupational stereotypes, politicians are considered the JiONQ Organization member defends ASU chapter To the Editor: Mockery is a popular art form, whether it is being created or being observed. However, there is a time and a place for it. The "Violence against crops Jparks re­ taliation" column in the Sept. 10 issue of The Appalachian was far beyond the line of sensibility. Besides proving the lack of intelligence on the part of columnist Juzar Merchant, the column stereotyped animal-rights ac­ tivists. This blatant lack of respect, coupled by incorrect facts, made for a sorely misinformed column. Plants have no nervous systems, mak­ ing them oblivious to any imagined pain. They also do not relate to other plants. destroying Merchant's theory of "splitting) up families of com stalks just to feed someone". Not all plants are killed when they are harvested for con­ sumption. Actually, many edible plants grow back for a new harvest year after year. Until Merchant and others begin yanking up the rootsof plants and making salads out of them, it is inconceivable that herbivores and omnivores are killing in­ nocent vegetation. Actually, many plants rely on animals for reproduction. For example, flowers are colorful and sweet-smelling to attract insects and other animals, who spread pollen about Plants rely on animals to exist. According to the Encyclopedia Botanica, there are even some plants that can only be fertilized by one type of insect. Mancannotexistwithoutplants. How­ ever, it is both possible and beneficial to live without eating meat Without plants and animals, human diets would consist of salt and water, and not much else. This" is a fact ignored in Merchant's column. Worse than the misinformation is Merchant's stereotyping of the members of the People for Animal Liberation. The column seemed to be meant to intimidate non-PAL members. ASU's chapter of PAL does not destroy research, burn fac­ tory farms, stand in the grinders of sau­ sage factories, or lynch leather-wearing, meal-eating people. As a club, PAL does not condone any of these behaviors. Rather than acting in a destructive man­ ner, PAL attempts to educate and aid both people and animals. Among other things, activities have included weekly visits to the Watauga County Animal Shelter to play with the animals detained there, set­ ting up a petition against dissection with­ out any alternatives, and publicizing of days such as Meat-Out Day and World Factory Farm Day. Nobody is forced to join or forced to participate in any activi­ ties. PAL is the reason why students at ASU have the option of eating a vegetar­ ian diet on campus. The club attempts to open op'ions, not to close them. Until people stop stereotyping and start being fair toeach other and themselves, an end to prejudice is neither possible nor feasible. Merchant'sperpetuationofsuch negative attitudes merely shows that he is the one who needs to be converted, not animal-rights activists. Rochelle Marie Myers Box 14824 T~h«. Shoiv-er Alternative.

In order to provide easier access to gistration facilities, the university, with help of campus clubs and organizains, has set up voter registration booths through the last day of September on mpus. Voter registrars will be available on campus on the following schedule: Mon­ days and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Sanford Mall; Tuesdays, Thurs­ days and Fridays, 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Welbom Hall lobby; Fridays, 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the sidewalk in front of the bookstore. The electoral college works in this manner: each state is allotted the same number of electoral college representa­ tives as United States Congress members from that state. North Carolina has 12 House representatives and two Senators giving the slate 14 electoral college repre­ sentatives. There is even a debate scheduled be­ tween the Young Republicans and the Young Democrats on campus for some­ time in October. This debate will be open to all persons and will be sponsored by the Political Science Society of Appalachian. The popular vote determines which candidate will receive all of that state's votes. What this means is that the 14 votes from North Carolina will goClinton or Bush, even if the election is close in North Carolina as some analysts predict. If a North Carolina electoral college rep­ resentative voles for a candidate other than the one who won the state's popular vote, a $500 fine will be issued to the representative by the state. Once a candidate gains a majority of electoral college votes (212 are what is In the United States voting is super­ vised by an organization known as the electoral college.

The Republicans for this term have nominated their incumbent George Bush and the Democrats have nominated Gov­ ernor Bill Clinton. Some analysts agree that this may well be the best election in years because of the clash of values and the differing agendas. The Boone area voting locations are the College of Business, Farthing Audito­ rium and the County Courthouse.

The mhas switched from a punitive to an alional focus,said Jason Bonar, chair­ person of the Judicial Board. "I think it's a much more informal iroccss," said Bonar. "Students evalua­ tions show that they think they are treated air." The rules governing the judicial tem are based on educational criteria, wding to the Code of Student Conduct iklet. "In my situation, they[the board] were ery fair, but I've heard of other inciences where things seemed blown out of toportion," said senior Nick Salvatore bouttheold system. "Overall, I think the rocess should be taken seriously." Thestudent judicial system is no longer pan of the Student Government Asso•ation and no longer has public defendrs Students are not found guilty or not "ilty. Rather students are in violation or ot in violation of the student codes. The judicial process begins with a stu°tt being charged or written up on a 'olation of the student code. Violations 'e usually alcohol-related, said Bonar. esident Assistants, Resident Directors, SU police and Legends workers can ^ge students with violations. 'Keep your necks covered! Dracula's in town. p. 3 'Mountaineer soccer squad drops two. P. 7 'Yes or no, Ross Perot? P-9 In the past each student's case was heard by the Judicial Board. "We use to go until 2:00 a.m. nonstop," said Bonar. "Now we only meet for an hour." Bonar estimated an average of 400 cases a year being heard with the old system. "Now we hear a few cases a week." After a student is written up, the paper­ work is sent to Lee McCaskey, Director for Student Involvement and Leadership. McCaskey sends the student a written charge through registered mail, so die student will have to sign for the letter. The charged student then meets with a hearing officer(McCaskey) and agrees to the charges or disagrees with the charges. If the student agrees s/hc violated the code a standard sanction is given. If the student feels s/he did not violate a code the case goes before the Judicial Board. The Judicial Board is a panel of 13 students: three freshmen, three sopho­ mores, three juniors, three seniors and a chairperson. Members of the board are appointed by theJudicial Personnel Com­ mittee through an application/interview process. The board conducts a hearing and decides whether the student is in viola­ tion. Each side explains their position with no cross-examinations. The judicial board deliberates and decides if the charge is upheld and what sanctions to be given. A counselor will meet with each student charged to explain the judicial procedure and guide the student before a hearing. The student can file an appeal under specific grounds. A written appeal must be received within four days of the hear­ ing. The new system's goal is to educate students on what they did and why the act was wrong in order to stop repeat offend­ ers, explained Bonar. The number of students who repeat violations has gone down compared to the repeat rate of the old system, said Bonar. "The overview is the system is not out to gel people," said Bonar. As stated in the Code of Student Con­ duct, "The University has juridiction over all behavioral infractions that occur in University facilities...and reserves the right to consider the behavior of students off campus when it is determined that the off-campus behavior interferes with the University and its education mission." Applications for two freshmen board members are now being taken. Applica­ tions can be picked up in Workman Hall, first floor. Three letters of recommenda­ tion and a statement of interest should accompany the application. Dennis Hinde, an advertising profes­ sor at Appalachian State University, is the first academic member of the American Advertising Federation's (AAF) District Three board of directors. The AAF is a national association of advertising professionals which seek to promote self regulation and monitor gov­ ernment regulation. Hinde will represent 13 colleges in North Carolina, South Carolina and Vir­ ginia. The academic seat on the board of directors is a new position. Hinde will be the first person to help the board in this capacity. "The term is for two years, and after two years I will probably feel ready to step down and let another person take over and spread around the position," said Hinde. Hinde has been a teacher at Appala­ chian for the past two years and has also taught at Southern Methodist University for four years. Angie Walser, a student of Hinde and the president of ACE (Appalachian Com­ munication Enterprises), the advertising club on campus said, "He is the kind of teacher that would bend over backward to help you and is someone who is really enthusiastic about his job and the profession he represents." Using his 16 years of experience in business management and marketing, Hinde is an advisor to ACE. He also advises the university's team for AAF competition. Pub to open this week By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor The Pub in the Student Union is tentatively scheduled to open late next week. The first event in the Pub is an alcohol awareness sponsored by student programs and scheduled for Sept. 22. The pub and back hallway, two conference rooms and the Black Student Association(BSA) room will hopefully be open according to David Robertson, Director of the Student Programs. The pub will look the same because construction has been on pipes and drainage related to the second floor said Robertson. The glass wall at the back of the Pub is replaced with a solid wall because of fire codes added Robertson. The second scheduled event for the Pub is Club Candlelight on Sept. 25. The Student Union will start taking reservations for the Pub on Oct. 1. A.P.P.S. offices, now located upstairs, will move to the first floor of the Student Union next week. The upstairs will then finish demolition on the current offices. Construction work will still be going on downstairs according to Robertson. The tunnel connected onto the Sweet Shop will remain intact until the construc­ tion is finished downstairs. The entrance facing Workman Hall will be open in order to gain access to the ticket booth and the A.P.P.S. offices.

The proposal, which has been in the making for some time, would present students with three different visitation options, then give the residents of each individual building the opportunity to vote for thcippreference in the first few weeks of the semester. The three visitation op­ tions they would be able to choose from includethe current B option, and an addi­ tional B+ and B+ extended option. The B+ option would have the same weeknight hours as the current B option, but would change to 24-hour visitation on the weekends. TheB-f extendedoptionwould extend the weeknight hours to 2:00 AM and have 24-hour visitation on weekends. Buildings that are currently C option would remain the same. the district boards have academic mem­ bers. The proposal is based on figures from a survey conducted last semester within the residence halls. "We believe academic representation on the district boards is vital to improving our educational efforts throughout the country," said Wooley. Hinde's future plans include attending the University of Georgia to get his mas­ ters degree. According to the survey, a large por­ tion of the on-campus students were in favor of having the option of extended visitation hours. Backed by these fig­ ures, CRSA drafted a proposal that would allow students to be able to vote on their housing option. "We're very much for student advo­ cacy; that's what CRSA is for," says CRSA president Lisa Smith. "If that's what the students want, then we should have it" The proposal was first started last year, but a visitation change committee could not be formed before the housing forms were printed, so it was not possible for the plan to be implemented this year. The proposal is currently in the hands of the Residence Life director, and will be turned in for review sometime this week. If the proposal is accepted, ASU will implement a pilot program in the spring with no less than one building on each side of campus trying out the new sys­ tem. The proposal has met with positive resjxtnse from the students, who seem to be in favor of being able to choose their visitation options. "We live here, and we should have some say in the type of option we live in." says freshman Holly Kirksey. Sopho more R.A. Shannon Hickerson agreed. "I think the proposal is very positive because it gives the residents a chance to voice their opinion." "I think it's great this proposal could finally become a reality," says Eggers Hall RSA president Wendy Eades. "CRSA has worked long and hard on this, and they should be commended for all of the work they've done."

The ride board is located on the back outside wall of the student union facing the post office. The ride board will be moved to its original space once the 1st floor of the student union opens. ASU police reported two incidences of harassing or threatening phone calls. On Friday a residence of Newland Hall re­ ceived harassing calls. A caller threat­ ened to harm a Hoey resident with a 9mm gun later Friday night. Information on both cases is pending. Two subjects were charged with inap­ propriate behavior and alcohol posses­ sion after streaking through Sanford Mall shortly after midnight Friday night. The students ran when spotted and were later caught at Chapell Wilson. Ten cases of alcohol-related charges were reported over the weekend. Two students were charged with possession of a keg of beer on campus property in two separate incidences. Both students were given citations and referred to student court Eight students were charged with underage alcohol possession and referred to student court over the weekend. A student was charged with possession of a weapon on campus after a caller reported the student shooting a bow and arrow outside of East Hall. The 20-minute parking signs on Acad­ emy SL in front of the Administration Building were pulled out of the ground. The physical plant was called to put the signs back in the ground.

Oh, to be a child again. The future (as just an abstract word with no real meaning, bod was something that just appeared on the able every morning and evening, and all we tally had to worry about was if we could sneak iut thfc back door barefoot without Mom loticing. We spent our days coloring and singing $C songs, making tree ornaments at Christmas ime, and getting to climb on the monkeybars when the first warm breeze of summer arrived. I Used to read for hours, and my mother would tell pie, "You'd better enjoy this now; in a few years you won't have time just to lay around and read." I didn't believe her. Reading was my favorite thing to do, and I thought I could always make time for it. Unfortunately, Mother was light. "I can't wait 'til I'm a grown-up." How many times did we utter these words? Being an adult meant getting to drive the car, stay up as late as you wanted watching TV, and eating all the ice cream bars you wanted after dinner, not just one. It meant no more spankings, no more being forced to play with the cousins you couldn't stand, and in general getting to do whatever you wanted. Guess what happened? The curse we placed upon ourselves has finally come true. We are adults. Its probably not anything like we expected. As children we failed to consider the one important word of adulthood: RESPONSI­ BILITY. We became aware of the social fences we must live within, and while you can stuff yourself with all the chocolate in the world, the longing to be "grown up" has changed to memories of the simplicity of childhood. So what have we learned from this? Not much. "Ican't wait 'til I graduate" or "I can't wait to have a house of my own" have replaced our former longings. We dream of the future, whether its having a family with 2.2 kids and a dog named Ralph or traveling the world and seeing the pyramids. Why do we wish our time away? Time is the one thing that really has value. Spending time with a friend is better than buying them a gift. Material objects will lose meaning, but memon« will stay with us forever. Which do you '""ember more, the time your dad took you to lie too, or the Christmas gitt you got when you vere five? One of the strongest memories I have s of my father teaching me to ride a bike, or Wilding balsa wood rockets and watching them oar into the air over my backyard. We have now been in school for about one "onth. How many of you already can't wait for he semester to be over? There are only twenty "ote days left of Tuesday/Thursday classes, and ihirty-one days left of Monday/Wednesday/ "riday classes (but who's counting?). That's ®ly twenty more times of seeing the cute guy in 10 _8y. or only thirty-one more chances you get 1 str"ce UP a conversation and ask out the girl in •tglish. Maybe that seems like a lot, but its not y°u put it in perspective with the rest of your fe. So what does all of this mean? It means use time wisely. Get out of life what you want, °n t wait for it to come knocking on your door. 0ut j"Ve * ''die. Life is what you make it. The list goes on. While these statements may e °ver used, they are nonetheless good advice The American Repertory Ballet Company will perform "Dracula" Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at Appala­ chian State University. The performance in Far­ thing Auditorium is part of the university's per­ forming arts series. Tickets, $8 for non-students and $4 for students, are available weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the auditorium box office. Call (704) 262-4046 for ticket information.

The legend of Dracula, with its Gothic plot and eerie characters and setting, has held audience's fascination for nearly a century. The ballet company's intricate lighting and costume design quickly grab the audience's attention. In the opening act, Dracula and his wives are seeking fresh prey. An unwary Renfield, taking a country stroll, narrowly escapes the vampires' control. Escape and pursuit continue throughout the first act until Dracula is taken by the ravishing beauty of Lucy. By the end of the act, Lucy is lost and seen haunting the Abby ruins. The ballet ends in a crescendo of horror as Lucy is freed from her enslavement as her former lover drives a stake through her heart. Sculptures displayed You may have noticed some interesting sculp­ tures outside of several of the buildings around campus. Perhaps you have seen the wolf-like im­ age outside of Walker Hall or the white marble statues on the steps of the College of Business. If you have seen any of these works of art, you have seen several entries in this year's Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition. More entries are on display outside of Wey Hall and in its genera] vicinity. If you noticed a flowing steel orange piece directly in front of Wey entitled "Birds of Fire,"younoticed the winner of the 19921993 competition. Ten finalists are picked every year from a variety of artists' entries from around the country. The elimination process begins in November of each year and the finalists' sculptures are installedaround campus during the summer. The winning artist this year, Ted Gamer, is from Chicago, Illinois. He has had a variety of exhibits around the country, and his award from this com­ petition is the latest in a long line of accolades. In his artist's statement about "Birds of Fire," Gamer explains what inspired him to do the piece. He states that he "was inspired by the sound work of the Mahauishnu Orchestra, in turn inspired by a devotional poem by Sri Chinmoy. As a result, issues of spiritual seeking, reincarnation and trancedence within the constraints of life are merged See CONTEST page 4 what you wished you had done. Evaluate and do it now.

However, sometimes the proper resources arc not available. Then these children are not given the same opportunities as others, and they begin to feel different about themselves. Public schools especially have been accused of ignoring these children and their families. It may be that the public school systems do not have the money to plan special programs for the children, or may not want to take the time to institute certain classroom environments necessary for disabeled children's educations. Appalachian Photo by Dan Allegrucci SCULPTURE WINNER: This year's scuplture contest winner, "Birds of Fire," can be found on the lawn between Farthing Auditorium and Wey Hall.. Look for a tall, orange, metal structure with a beak. The piece was sculpted by Ted Gamer of Chicago, Illinois. Appalachian State is proud to say that it is doing something for these children. A new teacher edu­ cation program has been initiated here to allow children with and without disabilities and special needs to be taught without any restrictions. Both the children and their families will be involved in seeing that they get an ample educa­ tion. Instead of separating these children, they will be integrated with others who have needs different from their own. Dr. Pat Miller, of ASU, instituted this new program in teacher education and chaired a special committee that was formed on campus. The mem­ bers were from six different areas and six colleges.

The fair is normally held in February during the American Heart Association's Health Awareness month. The decision to move this year's fair to September was made to encourage students to use the Quinn Center. It provides students with resources available in the Quinn and Wellness Centers. The fair will be conducted in a fashion similar to last year's fair. Information booths on various topics will be set up throughout the Quinn provid­ ing students and faculty with easy access tovaluable information. Booths range in topics from body image and self-esteem, to safe sex and stress man­ agement. Information concerning food and healthy eating will be available from the American Heart Association's booth. Three of the most successful booths last year were cholesterol screening, nutritional analysis and fitness evaluation. The health department will be screening cholesterol levels again this year for a small feel of S3 for students and S5 for faculty. Also, the American Student Dietic Federation is offering nutritional analysis to students. Nutri­ tional analysis is an individualized computer summary of the amount of calories that should be consumed in a day. Both booths promise to do well again this year. Between 200 and 400 people are expected to attend the Wellness Fair this year. This figure is based on attendance in past years. The Wellness Fair offers individuals an opportunity to learn See FAIR page 4 New band rocks air waves and gains following By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Saigon Kick's second release, "The Lizard," is a combination of crunching guitar-driven hard rock with melodic acoustic numbers that make for an excellent album.This album has incredible selling potential with therecent releaseof the ballad "Love is On the Way." Saigon Kick is one is the most exciting bands I've heard in recent years. Their music is extremely hard to classify due to the versatility of the band. "The Lizard" was produced by guitarist Jason Bieler and was produced extremely well. It is rare that the energy of a band comes off so well on the CD, but this album has an incredible feel to it. Lead vocalist Matt Kramer and Jason Bieler combine for an excellent duo on the vocal tracks. Their ability to harmonize well adds greatly to their songs. This is evident on the acoustic numbers, "God of 42nd Street," "Love is On the Way" and "All I Want" Even on the heavy, guitar-driven songs like "Feel the Same Way," and "Hostile Youth," their voices add another dimension to the songs. Bassist Tom DeFile (who has since been replaced) and drummer Phil Varone combine with Kramer'and Bieler to create some incredible energy to the music. The content of Saigon Kick's songs ranges from the humorous, "My Dog," to serious political and social oriented songs like "Freedom," "Hostile Youth" and "Body Bags.""My Dog" is a 45 tune about a dog getting killed by a car."Freedom" and "Body Bags" touch on political issues and govern­ ment corruption. "Hostile Youth" is a trip through a teen's insecure mind and the confusing world that seems to come down on them. "God of 42nd Street" is a tune confronting the ever-controversial topic of religion and people's insecurities. As mentioned earlier,"Love is On the Way" is an acoustic tune with great potential foT commercial success. The song is beautifully sung by Kramer and Bieler and I hope it reaps benefits for the band. At the same time I hope the band keeps their heads on straight and does not compromise their musical values due to commercial success. MTV is already putting "Love isOn the Way" into heavy rotation and with luck they won't wear it out as they tend to do with some bands. Saigon Kick is a band that I feel has the potential to do great things with its music.They are versatile with the ability to write beautiful tunes as well as loud, aggressive tunes. "The Lizard" is one of the besthard rock albums of the summer. Check itout �The Appalachian. TUP triny Senipmhpr 77 Contest 1QQ?

Continuted from page 3 Plus, Gamer will be visiting a variety of art classes throughout the week. The committee planned this new curricu­ lum which has become a model for other states. Although this is primarily a visual arts exibit, the other arts are by no means left out. For example, students in M usic Com­ position Class are writing music inspired by the sculpture of their choice. After completing their pieces, the students will get in touch with the artist of their chosen work and have him or her listen to it If the artist likes the music, then the piece will be performed at an upcoming concert.

Senior goalie Earl Morgan, along with , AsU defense, held the Deacons score during the first half of play, but could I hold on as WFU exploded for five ,)s in the second period. "For a while in the first half, we were ^ tentative, " said Wake Forest head jch WaltChyzowych."Oneof the prob- lems was that we were without four start­ ers, and we only had two days to get ready." The only score for the Mountaineers came on a goal by Brian fillings at the 34:50 mark of the first half, giving the Mountaineers a 1-0 lead at the break. "Wereally played well in the first half," said Jillings. "We definately didn't give up right away in the second half, we hit the post twice (at lite beginning of the period) anfi had a few mental mistakes." Wake Forest capitalized on dtese mis­ takes in the second half and wasted no lime gelling on the scoreboard. Raimo DeVries struck first for die Dcacs when he took an Andre w Chang comer kick and scored his only goal with 54:05 gone by. Chang picked up his second assist of die evening as Steve Gillmor's goal put the Dcacs ahe< 1 to slay at 66:00 with the score 2-1. The Deacons would score three more limes on two goals from Chang and a penally kick of f of the foot o f B rad Collins giving Wake Forest its first five goal game since Sept. 18,1991. The Deacons were scheduled to play lop-ranked Virginia on Sunday. Poor-second half play plaqued the Mountaineers again on Sunday in Charleston.S.C. as they dropped the Southern Conference opener 2-1 to The Citadel. Brian Cone scored on a David Terry assist to, again, give the Apps a 1-Olead at the end of the first half, and again the Apps could not hold on. "We need more focus in the secon'' half," said Art Rex, the Mountaineer he coach for the past 12 years. "We need to take advantage of the opportunities that are presented to us and carry it out for the entire 90 minutes." Rex is also concerned about his teams ability to handle adversity on the field and relates this to his players. "We had acouple of goals disallowed," said Jillings, " and we probably worried too much about that instead of getting on with the game." Steven Winters scored for the Bull­ dogs on a Jay Wills assist to even the count at 1-1 in the second period of play. Wills scored the game winner on a penalty kick awarded to the Bulldogs when the Mountaineers were called for a hand-ball in the box. "We are not being mature on the field," said Rex. "We had situations on the field that we didnot react to very well, and until we do that, we will not be in asituation to win." "We need to play as we did in the Radford match," added Rex. "In the Radford match we came out calm and took advantage of the oppurtunitics that were given to us." Morgan added six saves in a losing effort against the Bulldogs and moves to within 31of being the third all-time leader at Appalachian Stale University. The Mountaineers hope to improve on their overall record, which has fallen to 14-0, tonight at 7:00 p.m. as they play host to the University of North Carolina at Asheville in the ASU home opener. After playing the season's first five contests on the road. Rex and his players are excited about reluming to Boone. "We are ready to come home after the five games away,"said Rex who hopes to see a big crowd on hand for the nonconference battle. The next oppenent for the Apps pre­ sents itself in nationally ranked Davidson on Friday, Sept. 25 in Boone. "The Davidsonmatch should be a great Southern Conference match and a great national match." said Rex. Following the Davidson match, App State travels to Furman for another con­ ference match before returning home on Oct. 4 to lake on V underbill. Rex hopes that his team will regroup for good outings in the matches coming up. "We are not far off of the mark," Rex said,"we just need to continue to mature through the season."

It was an excellent opportunity for us to challenge ourselves, but we just did not put forth the effort necessary to compete as a team," Markland said. The final game the Lady Mountaineers competed in was later Saturday against Northeast Louisiana. Appalachian was victorious in three games at 15-13, 15-5, and 15-11.

First, he's in the presidential race. Then, he dropped out. Now I hear he is thinking about re­ entering. If it were up to me to decide. I would say "Sorry. You are too late." At the beginning of the campaign season, Perot jumped on the presidential candidacy bandwagon. The Texas billionaire promised this campaign would be different. This was to be a campaign of issues... Perot had a plan that would make him stand out from the rest. He was going to study all of the important campaign issues and postpone making policy decisions about those issues until after he had thought long and hard about them. Perot thought. We, the voters, waited. He thought more. We waited more. It appeared that the Perot Solution was about to materialize. Suddenly, just when we thought a light bulb was about to come on in Ross Perot's head, he did an about-face and backed out of the race! He supposedly had economic proposals in the works that were better than anything the other candidates had, but he failed to reveal them to us. He didn't even give the public a chance to show their approval of disapproval through the almighty political polls! Like a little boy who doesn't like how the neighborhood kids arc playing the game, Perot took his ball and went home. Perot is a wimp. He couldn't play the political game. He doesn' t have the gusto to be president of these United States. When he entered the presidential race, he knew he could expect the press and his political opponents to start digging into his personal life. He knew his proposed policies would be attacked from all sides. Perot is first and foremost a businessman, not a politician. When that PERSONAL started to happen, he was shocked. He couldn't take the heat, so he got out of the political kitchen. What a bore. Perot told everyone he was withdrawing from the presidential race. He told us he was doing so to prevent a "crisis of democracy," where no presidentialcandidate would get the required number of votes to be elected by the general public. In that case, the election's outcome would be decided by the House of Representatives. I think Perot was just scared because the House wouldn't choose him. He was an independent candidate, and he was probably right. It seems to me, though, that there must have been another reason. Imagine: Dropping out of a presidential race because it is going to be close. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy. I hope that wasn't his real reason for making his exit; it would only prove my suspicions correct. no matter whether Perot says he is in the race or not, the votes he accumulates on Aug.3 still getcounted. If Perot gets more votes than Bush, Clinton or Libertarian candi­ date Andre Marrou, Perot becomes president. To me, this seems the real crisis of democracy: Someone who is pretending not to be a candidate in the race is elected to be president. Perot has excluded himself from media scrutiny. He has excluded himself from the scrutiny of his political opponents. Elections are just a few short weeks away. Even if Perot was to fully re-enter the political race today, adequate time to fully scrutinize his political policies is simply nonexistent this late in the race. We should never be asked to vote for a candidate we know nothing about, and this is what Perot is threatening. Perot had a chance to bow out of this race gracefully. When he announced he was withdrawing, election offi­ Just when I thought the Perot nightmare was over, I cials asked him if they could remove his name from the read that this pesky little man is causing more trouble. ballot so that they would not have to count his votes. He Perot is threatening to re-enter the presidential race as an respectfully denied. This, he should not have done. By independent candidate if George Bush and Bill Clinton doing so, he remained an official presidential candidate. Perot is a wimp. When election time rolls around on do not address the deficit spending issue. It seems to me that Perot wants Bush and Clinton to endorse HIS budget Nov. 3, we will have the opportunity to vote for Bush, proposal rather than advancing their own. Wake up Clinton, Marrou or Perot. Perot has never been able to Perot! If you have your own budget proposal and you are make up his mind on anything in this presidential cam­ serious about it, you run for president yourself—you paign. If he can't make up his mind during the campaign, don't try to get everyone else to endorse it for you. what is supposed to make us think that he can make up his In reality, Perot is still a presidential candidate; that is mind when the presidential pressure is put upon him? why I am upset. Perot is on the ballot in all 50 states, and I have a solution. If Perot can't make up his mind, we he has signed affidavits that attest to his official candi­ should make it up for him. Plain and simply, let's not dacy. What does that mean? Essentially, it means that vote for him. We don't need a wimp for a president.

By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor How many of us heard "If you can't say something nice, then don't say any­ thing at all," repeated over and over as children? And how many timesdidsome­ one say, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."? Despite the repetition of such advice, I'd say society's track record isn't ex­ actly something to be proud of when it comes to courtesy and the Golden Rule. Watch any news report on television. Right now, with devastation from hurri­ canes Andrew and Iniki, turmoil in the Middle East, the Sarajevo tragedy and the two-ring circus called the presiden­ tial race, you'll be very lucky to hear a positive tune in the news. Turn on the local broadcast at 5 or 6 p.m. and you'll hear a well prepared murderreport and who has been arrested, beaten, ruined or accused of some hid­ eous deed. Be sure to stay tuned long enough to catch the last five minutes, though. A heart-warming personal pro­ file or human interest story will serve as working definition of racism as "prejudice plus power." Racism, by definition, is held by a dominant group with economic and political power. Based on a history and experience of hurt, anger and discouragement, members of oppressed groups may have prejudice or distrust, but they do not have the power to systematically p. 5. """you to be able to exploit the environment for private gain, absolutely. And 'People to understand that is anoble goal... Our goal is todestroy, to eradicate lronrr|ental movement' in a decade." Ron Arnold, a spokesman for the "Wise Use" movement, on thepurpose of that move­ ment. Charlotte Observer, Aug. 9,1992, Per­ spectives p. 1. /en come close to establishing that the tasks which make up >briety tests are scientifically reliable. - Florida Judge David Demers, ruling that arbitrary sobriety tests given in the field to suspected drunken drivers are inadmissable in his court. Charlotte Observer, Sept. 20. 1992, p. 11A. Unfortunately, friends, we do have folks among us who are lacking in the "respect for others" department. Looking through a stack of Public Re­ lations Journals in the library, I found a disappointing displayofsomeone'sobvious thoughtlessness. On the cover of the Feb. 1991 edition of PRJ the words "Cel­ ebrate Black History" are proudly cen­ tered. The pen of some disrespectful soul has drawn a line through the word "cel­ ebrate" and added a colorful four-letter word beginning with "F" above the line. Is it necessary to express one's opinion by defacing property? I do not think so. In the whole scope of things, a small written word hidden beneath a stack of magazines in a college library may not seem like a big deal. After all, people are dying around the world and mere survival has become a challenge for those as close to us as Florida. I don't think people realize, however, that attitudes make up who we are. That four-letter word poured out of someone's heart and exposed a poisonous attitude that has been proven to cause trouble. It looks as if we have our own low-scale disaster right here at ASU. Don't get me wrong. We have our everyday episodes of triumph as well. No one has survived a five story fall, to my knowledge, but we can all testify of posi­ tive events witnessed. I know for a fact that students narrowly escape the grind­ ing wheels of cars and trucks everyday while crossing Rivers Street to Walker Hall. Even so, the case of the four-letter word disturbs me. I believe the signifi­ cance of such an act IS a big deal. If we all try very hard to remedy the "seemingly harmless" quirks of society, perhaps the magnitude of large scale di­ sasters would decrease. Maybe if we got to the root of our problems we'd have more success in finding solutions. Com­ mon courtesy and respect are essential ingredients in the recipe for harmony, and the responsibility of "being nice" extends to every person alive. Now before you stone me for being cheesy or sappy, examine your own atti­ tudes very carefully. Deep down you know Mom was right when she told you, "Don't say anything at all if you're not going to say something nice." The same principle applies for actions as well. Enough said. We all must work to eliminate racism Erik Larson, writer for The Anti-Warrior, expressing his opinion that blind patriotism for any country is not something that is commendable. The Prism, July/Aug. 1992, ** your after dinner mint so you can more easily digest the previous material. Oh, I know I've said before how impor­ tant it is to watch the news and keep up with issues and events. But I never said we aren't entitled to get a little bogged down every now and then by what we hear and see. I read the Sept. 15 issue of The New YorkTimes from the library, and the most encouraging story I came across was on B3 in the Metro section. There in the lower right-hand corner, concisely printed into two column inches was the news of a 13-year-old boy who fell five stories and survived. Yeah, Schamtz Cook and his pals were hanging outon the fifth floor of an abandoned school in Brooklyn when Schamtz fell down a heating vent to the first floor. He sustained cuts and bruises. What a breath of fresh air! In the midst of chaos in the world, teenage boys in New York are hanging out and surviving near death experiences. But what about in Boone? Have we allowed ourselves to get sucked into a whirlpool of uncivilized disrespect? Can we look around and find students existing peacefully together, or is there an apparent courtesy deficiency? S.lviC- Multiculturalism: Our responsibility To the Editor, Questions at the panel discussion which were not cleared up at convoca­ tion revealed some confusion about the concept of racism. By comparing definitions of "racism" and "prejudice" — I've used the 1987 edition of the Random House Dictionary of the English Language— one can propose a oppress and control. Not the worst, but certainly one result of white racism is that it makes it more difficult for individuals to form relationships across racial or cultural lines. A number of students who asked questions would prefer that "we all just be human beings." This unity can happen only if all people in every group know that their own experiences and cultures are valued by everyone. It is possible for this climate to prevail if whites take individual and full responsibility for understanding how racism works, for eliminating uncon­ scious racist attitudes in themselves. and for interrupting racist behavior and patterns in society. Reducing the vulnerability of minority students and faculty, creating opportunity for everyone, and teaming to listen to and value all people — these were the goals and the promise of the approaches Dr. Jon Wiener advocated. The more active that white faculty and students become in achieving these goals, the greater the hope for a future without racism, a future in which each person is fully accepted and cherished as a human being. and the Interdisciplinary Studies course offerings, IDS proudly offers not only an Environmental Action Seminar, but also a Concentration in Environmental Policy and Planning, which includes courses from the departments of Political Science, Anthropology, Philosophy and Religion, Economics and Geography and Planning.

Each year, Appalachian State partici­ pates in the Who'* Who in American Universities and Colleges Program. The ASU program recognizes students for undergraduate academic and leadership excellence. In order to be nominated, a student must have at least a 2.5 cumulative gTade point average with a minimum total of 75 earned hours prior to the beginning of the fall semester. Students can be nominated by a num­ ber of persons on the university campus including the chancellor, athletic direc­ tor, academic department chairsand many others. "If the people who are eligible to nomi­ nate makenominations and ifall the people that we send ballots to vote, then it is a good cross section and all students have an equal opportunity to be selected," As­ sistant Vice Chancellor for Student De­ velopment Barbara Daye said. Students may also nominate themselves by completing a self-nomination form in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Development. According to Daye, self-nominations carry justas much weight. She guesses that approximately 33 percent of the student nominees are self-appointed. Once nominations are made, the stu­ dents receive biographical data sheets. In order for their names to remain on the ballot, they must return the form to the office of student development by the at­ tached deadline. Daye emphasized the tight schedule under which the process runs. "There are deadlines we have to meet and if students don't get data sheets back to us by the announced deadline, then the name won't go on the ballot and they won't be considered," Daye said. A committee of campus leaders com­ piles the data and, from over approxi­ mately 200 qualifiers, sends a designated number to the national level.

In 1983, Appalachian dedicated the Satie Hunt Broyhill Music Center in her honor. Her early involvement with the Southem Furniture Market helped strengthen the fledgling furniture industry in North Carolina. In addition to her considerable involvement with the family business she became involved with many civic and philanthropic causes. She was instrumen­ tal in the founding of Broyhill Hall at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Semi­ nary in Wake Forest, the Broyhill Chapel at Wake Forest University, the J.E. Broyhill Park in Blowing Rock and Broyhill lecture series at Wake Forest University, Gardner-Webb College, Lenoir-Rhyne College and Mars Hill College. She and her family gave the lead gift to establish Appalachian's Broyhill Inn and Conference Center and the Satie Hunt Broyhill Music Center, and they support the university's Broyhill Center for the study of Private Enterprise. They estab­ lished an endowment for the world-re­ nowned Broyhill Chamber Ensemble, the resident ensemble of the university's An Appalachian Summer cultural festival. The National Collegiate Athletic As­ sociation passed a ruling this year elimi­ nating athletic dormitories from college campuses. The policy states that resi­ dence halls can not exclusively house athletes without including a certain per­ centage of other students. A grandfather clause has been placed on the ruling post­ poning enforcement until 1996. But the new policy has not affected ASU, according to head football coach Jerry Moore. ASU has never had a solely athletic residence hall. Although a major­ ity of the football players have always stayed in Justice Hall, Coach Moore said the team members only occupied one and a half floors of the dormitory. "Justice has never been an athletic dorm. We were way above the minimum requirements (referring to NCAA policy)," Coach Moore said. However, Appalac hi an created aregulation of its own. Beginning this year, freshman players were scattered through­ out the campus dormitories. The reason was to increase the diversity of students with whom the players interacted. The rule will continue until all players are dispersed throughout the campus. Coach Moore said his only objection to the new policy is the inconvenience it presents for the coaches and team mem­ bers. In the case of cancelled practices, coaches have more difficulty in notify­ ing their younger players. Coach Moore also sees no difference between housing fraternities and sororities together and housing football players. However, the camaraderie gained from living in the same facility has not affected the team's performance, therefore not presenting a problem. Appalachian's University Bookstore is supporting the eleventh annual Banned Books Week by having a display of sev­ eral previously "banned" books. The event is sponsored by the American Book­ sellers Association, the American Library Association, the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the Association of American Publishers, and the National Association of College Store. The display, during the weeks of Sept. 19-Oct. 3, will consist of several books, picked by the National Association of College Stores, that were "felt would in­ terest college students at this university", according to Deborah Tabor, who is in charge of the paperback book section. "B anned books are basically books that . „*e been challenged by people as to their appropriateness in a school or a public library," said Tabor. Most are available, but certain groups protest their suitability for children to read. A book that was decmedquestionable is "The Adventuresof Huckleberry Finn." The book was questioned in the 19th century for bad grammar and for parody- u Banned books are basi­ cally books that have been challenged by people as to their appro­ priateness in a school or a public library. - Deborah Tabor 99 ing contempary morality, and challenged today bycivil rights groups for its suppos - edly demeaning portrayal of AfricanAmericans. Other questionable books in­ clude: "Of Mice and Men,""Our Bodies, Ourselves," 'To Kill a Mockingbird," "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret," and "Catcher in the Rye." Two books likely fordisplay are"American Psycho," a book one publisher refuses to publish, and "Final Exit," the book about suicide. "The message of BannedBooks Week." said a press release, "is more than free­ dom to choose, the freedom to express one's opinion even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular. The essential message of Banned Books Week is the importance of ensuring the availability of those unorthodox or un­ popular viewpoints to all who wish to read them." John F. Kennedy once said: "We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitivevalues. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people." Crime Service under crunch Reports By ANNA FOSTER Appalchian Staff Writer Students may have noticed a couple of changes this year with the Appalachian State HealthServices. One obvious change is the new appointment system which involves most students having to call or come in to schedule when they may see the doctor. The Health Service is now also providing a nurse screening/walk-in clinic to assist students who need more immediate care. These changes are due to the great demand the Health Service Clinic is now facing to treat students. The clinic em­ ploys only three physicians and one phy­ sician assistant. With the clinic serving around three hundred students a day, the physicians are being forced to see around Five students in one hour, only twelve minutes per student. The logical answer would be to hire more doctors, but unfor­ tunately for Health Services, their funds are barely covering the cost to maintain itself. The clinic receives its funding from tliree basic sources: the student health services fee paid with tuition, reserves set up by the clinic to collect interest, and the little money given by the university to all departments. With the rising costs of medicine each year, these sources just aren't meeting the demand. According to Dr. William A. Derrick, Jr., Director of ASU Health Services, the department is having to withdraw money from its re­ serves ir. order to keep in business. He states, "Businesswise, we need to keep a reserve. . .what if the roof leaked? We would need additional money to pay main­ tenance to Fix it." As of now, the addi­ tional money does not exist. Two years ago, the Student Govern­ ment Association approved an increase in the health services fee, but the state legis­ lature prohibited this. Because of the ris­ ing cost of state universities, the legisla­ ture wanted to investigate where all this money was going. Fees were frozen and will remain that way until next fall. The health services fee is predicted to increase next year. Considering that students areonly pay­ ing 544 a semester for 24 hour service, the increase is not too much to ask. Health services only charge for outside lab tests, pap smears, and birth control, and even these charges areconsiderablycheap. 95% of studens use health servicesduring their enrollment. Dr. Derrick says,"We arc the only department to see each student on such a one-to-one individual way. Our responsibility is to that student... to get him or her back in the classroom as soon and as well as possible." All things con­ sidered, the Health Services Department efficiently provides adequate and quality health care. Compiled by SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor On Sept. 9 the ASU Police received messages of a bike locked to a railing blocking the sidewalk near Walker and a report of a dog locked in a car with the windows rolled up. The bike had no followup and the dog nor vehicle was not sighted. At 9:26 p.m. an RA in East residence hall reported three males with open alcohol who would not listen to her. No followup was reported. That same hour, the RD in Frank residence hall requested an officer to check on possible marijuana use. No citation was given in marijuana use. An electrical stormcaused the Firealarm at Mountaineer Apartment to activate on Sept. 10. The police called workers to fix tire alarm. The storm also cause theoffice and check phones in Justice to go out The problem was fixed in eight minutes. Inhall security was advised at 12:15 a.m. Sept. 11 by the campus police that Bowie would be open. Boone Police alerted campus police that an accident had occured on Stadium Drive at 1:13 pm. ASU police arrived at the scene within three minutes. An hour later, cam­ pus police contacted Student Develop­ ment in reference to solicitation of per­ fume in Bowie Hall.

"Normally an escort will be by himself and they don't always drive." Many students, especially females, may wonder why they should trust Mountain­ eer Escorts. According to Swortzel, ap­ plicants go through an extensive inter- Who Continued from page 1 to an increase in enrollment and possible other factors. The national level usually notifies stu­ dents before Christmas of whether or not they were chosen as Who's Who recipi­ ents. At that time. The Appalachian also publishes a list of winners. Daye said interest in Who's Who has nsen during the recent years as students realize what an honor and privilege it is to view process including reference checks on and off campus. "We tell you who we are; we have been checked out. Every call we take is logged in." New escorts are trained by Swortzel hrmself or another experienced escort. David Brown, a new escort, says recog­ nition is not part of the reason he volun­ teers "If during my entire time here I could have prevented someone from be­ ing attacked, it would be worth it." Stephanie Powell, a transfer student, commented that the Mountaineer Escort was very prompt and very courteous when escorting her back to her room. With all its good qualities Mountaineer Escort is not without a few glitches. Angie Knox, a first semester sophmore recalls several times last year when no escort was avail­ able to walk her back home, and was told to go ahead and walk because police were patrolling the area. This once again em­ phasizes the problem of not enough vol­ unteers. Director Eric Swortzel sums up the mission statement of Mountaineer Escort saying, We want to be there for you to call us. We want you to feel safe with us. And once you do call us we want to be there on time." The telephone number to call is 2626438. it may be our only cha be elected. She said she remembered students in the early seventies asking for their name not to be placed on the ballot because they considered the organization «n "establishment." "Now, they see that when you re resume building, you need this kind of recognition," she said.

' On Sept. 12 at 12:25 an officer met with an RA in White residence hall in reference to someone being in the waiting area. No follow-up was recorded. An ambulance was dispatched by Boone po­ lice because of a bicycle accident behind Eggers Hall at 5:14. ASU police fol­ lowed to Watauga Emergency Room.

I'm not saying that everyone g° find someone to jump into a relationship V not at all, but I do believe that it's wrong People say that we're too young to fall in By CAROLYN ROSE Appalachian Staff Writer When I first moved away from home, I missed my cat probably more than I missed my friends or family. He was always ready to give me the atten­ tion I wanted while others weren't always quite so compliant. I would suspect that ASU has a lot of students, like me, who miss their pets horribly. Here's a remedy to the missing-your-pet blues. No, I'm not advocating going out and getting a new pet. If you live in a residence hall, you will get caught. If you live in a dwelling which prohibits pets, chances are you will get caught there, too. In both scenarios, you'll be in trouble and your cute little animal will be out on its funy little behind. Let's say that you live in a place where pets are allowed. Are you prepared to pay the often hefty, non-refundable deposit? Do you have enough space? Do you have the extra cash for spaying or neutering (which every responsible pet owner will agree is a must), shots, unexpected colds and inju­ ries? Do you have the time?The patience? Pets are giving, but you must be prepared to give in return. Ownership is an awesome financial, emotional, and time-consuming commitment. Too often college pets find their way back to shelters. Often, because of their age, they have a hard time getting re-adopted and coping with the C/3 -1 •<C el < emotional loss of a loved owner. These animals that end up at the shelter are the lucky ones. The horror stories of abandoned animals left to expo­ sure, disease, injury, and death are all too frequent and true. If you can fulfill the obligations that go along with pet ownership and you are ready for that kind of ten to twenty year commitment, then go for it. There are other alternatives toownership. On the eastern edge of Boone, there is the WatuagaCounty Humane Society's animal shelter which welcomes visitors. To get there, lake 421 East to Deerfield Road which will be on the right. Then take a right onto Daniel Boone Drive and the shelter will be on the right. The Humane Society is a non-profit organiza­ tion which is active in all aspects of animal welfare. They are active in preventing cruelty to animals and finding good adoptive homes for unwanted pets. They offer programs in spaying and neutering to reduce pet over-population and a petting pro­ gram for theelderly where pets are taken to nursing homes. The shelter also gives obedience training classes, and in conjunction with local veterinar­ ians, sponsors annual county-wide rabies vaccina­ tion clinics.

In the case of biofeedback, this "myth" may be proven false. No, biofeedback cannot tell what you're thinking, but it can tell if you are having stressful thoughts or pleasant ones. Kit Olson of the Wellness Center called it "a window on what's happening with the body." If you have ever thrown a baseball toward a target that told you the miles per hour itsspeed was. or if you have ever weighed yourself on scales or taken your temperature, then you already know the basic concept of biofeedback. All biofeedback does is"feed back"information about the body so you can take steps to improve its condition. Biofeedback is used to help with stress-related disorders such as tension headaches, migraines, jaw clenching, stomach problems, and anxiety. Its aim is to change habitual reactions to stress thatcan cause pain or disease. Patients who suffer from paralysis or who sim­ ply have forgotten how to relax can benefit greatly from biofeedback sessions. Olson allowed me to observe a biofeedback demonstration. Wires were taped to my forehead to monitor muscle tension, and wires on three fingers monitored temperature and sweat. More advanced equipment can monitorother stress responses such as pupil dilation, stomach acid or heart rate, but these are not done here at ASU. Olson worked the computer keyboard while I watched my responses on the computer screen. Three differently colored lines etched their way up the chart when I was questioned about my upcom­ ing French test, and then decreased to the relaxed level when I imagined myself walking through a sunny meadow. For more advanced users, there are games such as controlling a raft down a river on a computer screen by controlling your muscle ten­ sion. If you think biofeedback may be for you, first consider the commitment that is required. You^ can't expect to go in for a session, have the wires hooked up to you, and then in an hour leave better than new. Much time is involved on the part of the individual for biofeedback to have results. First, oneor twohours a week at the biofeedback lab at the Counseling Center is required. This is the actual biofeedback training. You may then be See STRF.SS page 6 American old west comes alive in "Unforgiven By STEVEN MACKAY Appalachian Staff Writer Some say the western is dead; but in the last couple of years, with movies like "Dances With Wolves" and this latest western"Unforgiven," that myth is dead. Directed by Clint Eastwood, "Unforgiven" is more of a morbid drama than the shoot'em up westerns of yesteryear. Clint Eastwood is also the star, sharing the screen with movie veterans Gene Hackman, Morgan Freeman and Richard Harris, and newcomer Jaimz Woolvett. The screenplay by David Webb Peoples is compelling, and blows away most of the cowboy hero images of older westerns. Eastwood plays William Muimy. an ex-bounty hunter who lived for the thrill of the kill, who got married and turned a new leaf. His wife had since died, and he is raising two children by himself and running a failing pigfarm. Along comes "Schfield Kid" (Woolvet), a cocky young gunslinger, trying to recruit Munny to join him on a bounty hunt to kill some thugs who sliced up a prostitute's face. Munny, low on money, accepts immediately and even brings in his old partner Ned Logan (Freeman). Their destination is Big Wiskey, Wyoming, which is a small town run by a demented sheriff (Hackman). The money offered by the pros titues as a reward bring others to town. One of these reward seekers is English Bob (Harris) who plays a rather crude man with a chip on his shoulder the size of New Jersey. The paths of all these people cross and leave a bloody trail. The violence in "Unforgiven" is real, but is not overdone. Scenes like the slow death of one of the thugs, the sheriff's dispensing of justice, and Munny's climatic rampage leave chills down the spine, not twisted guts. The movie shows the horror of killing, and the effects of the killer on his victim. There is also a subplot of how reputations and stories are blown more and more out of proportion every time the stories are told. All together this was an exceptional film al­ though I strongly doubt that people used the lan­ guage depicted in this movie back then ."Unforgiven" is rated "R" due to violence, profanity, and sexual references. It isdistributed by Warner Brothers. "Unforgiven" rates a ***1/2 (out of four pos­ sible stars). Thursday, September 17 Klondike - Flyin Mice beansTalk - Allan and Marty, acoustic !.(».

The Humane Society should not be confused with the Watauga County Ani­ mal Control Shelter. The Humane Society tries its best NOT to have to put animals to sleep. In 1991, 707 animals found homes out of 913 that found their way to the shelter. Most animals that had to be put to sleep were sick, injured, or had behavorial problems and were considered dangerous. The shelter's hours are 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. You are more than welcome tocome in as often as you like to play with the animals, walk adog, andjust settle into a little pet therapy. It's a great stress reliever and the animals benefit from the extra attention. So don t fall into those incurable pet blues. Just head on out there, seek out an intelligent looking dog, cat, ferret, or pig, and tell them what's troubling you. They '11 be sure to listen. For more information, call the Humane >ociety Shelter at 264-7865 asked to attend stress management meet­ ings where topics such as nutrition, time management, stress responses, and relax­ ation techniques will be discussed. Each day you must practice what you have learned at the lab and you may be asked to keep a daily journal recording such things as headache frequency or diet. Biofeedback is free to students, faculty, or staff. Due to lack of staff at the center only a certain number of people can be accepted for this program. They try not to turn people away if possible. Maybe someday a computer program will be designed so that this type of selfhelp can be done in the privacy of your own home. Until then, if you think bio­ feedback may be what you've been need­ ing, contact the Counseling Center at 2623180. They will assist you in deciding which of their many programs is best for your individual needs. Bring a friend to school!

September 17,1992 spikers take victory over ASU in five games By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor The Appalachian State Lady Spikers held strong both offensively and defen­ sively Tuesday night, but it just was not enough as Virginia Tech captured the match in five games 15-12, 14-16, 15-7, 13-15 and 15-8.

The fourth game featured VirginiaTech leading theentire way unnl junior Michelle Wright came through with a key play to tie the game at 12-12. Virginia Tech senior Kelly Chambliss scored on their next possession with a service ace to put the Lady Hokies back in the lead 13-12. Wright rebounded to the ace with another score for the Lady Apps to put the game at 13-13 before Virginia Tech took a tune out. "Our team played exceptionally hard and they kept intensity throughout the contest. Virginia Tech is a good team. They have only been defeated once this season, and recorded wins over North Carolina State and the University of Vir­ ginia. Iam very proud of the performance of ASU in this match," ASU Head Coach Dave Markland said. The match opened with a close contest between the Lady Apps and, the Lady Hokies, but in the end Virginia Tech rallied to win the game at 15-12. In the second game, Virginia Tech jumped out to a 5-1 lead over ASU before the Lady Apps called a time out. After regrouping, Appalachian came back out on the floor and took control. AS U played head to head with the Lady Hokies and won the game on a strong serve by senior Rachael Wade. After the time out, Wright was still hot, scoring again before freshman Sherri Leverette aced to win the game 15-13 for ASU. The fifth game opened with what ap­ peared to be a strong Appalachian State squad as they jumped out to a 4-1 lead. However, the Lady Hokies simply had more power and fought back to tie the game at 4-4 before taking over to win the game 15-8 and the match. All the Lady Mountaineers played strongly in the match including Wright who totalled 21 kills and 13 digs to lead the squad. "Michelle did a real good job inhitting.

ISU soccer records first victory with 4-0 shutout at Radford WILL ROTHSCHILD palachian Staff writer \ppalachian State picked up its first cer victory of the young season with a 1 win over Radford in Radford, Va. tday. Hie win moved the Mountaineers' :ord to 1-2on the season, after opening :year with consecutive road losses at ith Carolina and Liberty, ienior forward David Terry provided offensive firepower, the Appalachian defense clamped down on two of the nation's top scorers and the Mountaineer bench accounted for two goals as ASU put together easily its finest outing of 1992. "It was a good effort because the re­ sults were great," Appalachian Head Coach Art Rex said. "We were disap­ pointed after Liberty because we had some chances, and I thought we responded well to that loss. We executed well early and got up 2-0, and that was important in containing Radford's great scorers." Dante Washington, Radford's All- America selection last season and mem­ ber of the United States Olympic Team, was kept in check by the Mountaineer defense all day. Washington was held to only four shots on the afternoon. Ian Spooner, who was the nation's 17lh lead­ ing scorer a year ago, was also controlled all game long. Like Washington, Spooner managed just four shots for the match. Appalachian's four starting defenders, Joel Nesbill, Keith Ellis, Kyle Slam and Ryan Anderson, wereresponsible formost of the work on the Radford frontline. Even when the Highlanders managed to get a shot off, senior goalkeeper Earl Morgan responded with eight saves and his first shutout of the season. For Terry, it was just another great early season showing. Through three games, the senior from Owensboro, Ky. has scored four goals.The two-goal effort against Radford was the sixth two-goal game of his career, and it moved Terry into a tic for fourth place on the all-time Appalachian scoring chart. "David's had agood three games."Rex said. "As a whole, we've played good soccer. We want to play a good brand of attacking soccer and we have done that. That was the difference against Radford, because instead of being down two goals early like we were against South Carolina and Liberty, we were up two goals early." The Highlanders saw their record of 13 consecutive undefeated home matches snapped, as Terry ripped his first score 17 minutes into the match, then followed with his secfcnd goal just 44 seconds later after stealing a Radford goal kick. The Mountaineers scored again, just 57 seconds before halftime as John Cox scored on a feed from Brian Cone. Cox had been in the game just two minutes when he put Appalachian's third digit on the scoreboard. It was Cox's first goal as a Mountaineer. "That's what we need from all our players," Rex said of Cox's bench play. "We need everyone to contribute, and against Radford I thought everyone did." In the second half two freshmen, Rob Nance and Peter Bondjuk, hooked up for ASU's fifth goal.

"I thought we played extremely well under the very windy conditions," said Jamieson. "It was our first tournament of the year and I am pleased with our perfor­ mance considering the stiff competition. Kyle (Kauffman) played tremendously with his two sub-par rounds." ASU's Brian Marshbum finished in a tie for the 41st position. Marshburn had rounds of 74, 78, and 76 for a 228 stroke tournament total. App State is looking to improve upon the ninth place finish and is in very good position to do so. The Apps return all top seeds from a year ago including Kauffman, Jamieson, Marshbum, along with senior Travis Wolfe. Newcomers to the squad include Drew Taylor and Andrew Jamieson, the younger brother of Jay Jamieson. The Apps resume tournament play on Oct. 4-6 in Greensboro. N.C. at the Guilford College Invitational and will play three more tournaments to round out the fall schedule. The Apps will travel to participate in the Campbell Invitational on Oct 11-13 before they go to the Carson Newman Invitational on Oct. 18-20. hands Lady Apps 2-0 loss alie Mattie Jean Hunt saves 20 shots on goal for App State fACEY STILLS lachian Staff Writer - Lady Mountaineers field hockey dropped its second match of the 3 '"st Saturday to Ohio University, 'ravelled to Radford, Va. to comn die match where they were de12-0.

We played better than we did at Duke last week, but I think there was a little bit of an intimida­ tionfator, because it was a team from Ohio where field hockey is so popu­ lar. In the last minutes of the game, the Lady Mountaineers put together a great team effort to score, but "just could not get the ball to go into the cage," according to Burleson. Junior goalkeeper Mattie Jean Hunt amounted 20 saved shots on the goal in the contest while senior forward Shannon Smith had three shots inside the circle. Other strong performances for the Lady Apps came from sophomore forward Rachael Megee and freshman forward Barry Clyaat.Appalachian State will have its first home meet on Sept. 20 as it hosts the Lady Wildcats of Davidson in a 2 p.m. contest at Kidd Brewer Stadium. "If everybody plays to their full poten­ tial against Davidson, then it should be a good game," Burleson said. Davidson offers the toughest competi­ tion throughout the Deep South confer­ ence of which the Lady Apps are mem­ bers. The Lady Mountaineers will host Catawba on Sept. 27 before hitting the road again to travel to Pfeiffer on Oct. 1. The Lady apps are now 0-2 in the season.

By BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor «j wusuui cm ummets ana not necessarily t Manatee my be reached at W-2IS7; the editorial s^jf may be reached at onger dining hours eeded on west side The hoursof Park Place Cafe should be extended to give students on the west de of campus a place to eat after dark. Students should not be required to walk iross campus in thedark toeat dinner past 7 p.m. Most restaurants serve dinner ntil much later in the evening with a rush time between 7-8 p.m. Appalachian itudents should be given the same opportunity. Park Place Cafe was built to provide students on the west side of campus a place todine. These students weregiven quality Italian food with one"cafeteria Ityle" option for lunch and dinner. The purpose of the Park Place Cafe was not to replace the cafeteria, but to supplement it with a eating facility more accessible to students living in Newland, Justice, Coltrane, Gardner, Bowie, Eggers, Frank, Belk and Winkler. Residents in these dorms comprise a large percentage of the student body. Food services was correct to realize that these students needed an eating facility, however, their needs have not yet been completely met. Since all on-campus students are required to buy a meal card option, food service facilities should be open for the students to use them. Many students' schedules do not allow them to eat before 7 p.m. These students are left to make the trek across campus to the Food Court or eat off campus and risk not using ill of their meal card money. With the unfortunateclosing of the Gold Room during the construction in the Student Union, students are left with only three choices for a hot meal. The :ood Court, the Park Place Cafe, and now the Cafeteria. Since the reopening )f the cafeteria for dinner, students are now offered a nice variety of food. Food Services serves quality hot food in a clean environment. Opening the Cafeteria or dinner was a big step toward expanding students' meal options, but more ^ be done to improve the service Appalachian Food Services provides. Food services should sit down and try to work out a schedule where students m both sides of campus are given a place to get a hot meal after dark. More "ork-study students could be employed to staff these later hours. If more "oney is short and new workers can not be hired, a re-evaluation of hours may e necessary. Students should not be asked to walk across campus in the dark ' eat a hot meal. YEAH BOB by Darryl Kluskowski Education is the foundation of all that we do in modem society. It is impossible to get ahead in life without a full and comprehensive education. Currently, the needs of elementary, secondary and high school students in Watagua County are being neglected. Classroom space and school facilities are inadequate to pro­ vide the environment conducive to learn­ ing that is so necessary in schools. We can not continue to expect students in Watagua County to learn in this inad­ equate environment. Local students need better facilities, and they need them now. Vote yes on Sept. 22 to give the students the facilities they need. North Carolina State Superintendent of Public Instruction Bob Etheridge has said, "It is good to see that so many people have confidence in their local schools, but we also need to encourage citizens to take a realistic look at the weaknesses schools have in their own communities." Citizens of Watagua County need to look closely at the weaknesses of the local school system. Many existing class­ rooms are too small. Education research groups have determined that in order to provide a jxoper environment for learn­ ing, classrooms should be have learning areas of at least 900 square feet. Right now, some classrooms are only700 square feet. How can students learn in a cramped space? Expansion of classroom size is needed. There is a need for additional class­ rooms in Watagua County schools. This year, 22 mobile classrooms are being utilized to increase the student capacity of the school system. These trailers are notorious for being insufficiently heated in the winter. If students must concen­ trate on keeping warm while in class, they certainly cannot concentrate on the instructorsinthoseclassrooms. The learn­ ing environmentprovided in trailer class­ rooms is one that is very demoralizing. Students must be encouraged to learn, and classes held in non-permanent build­ ings do not do this. Passage of the bond referendum would allow schools to improve in other areas as well. Larger libraries, cafeterias and physical education facilities can be built Science labs, computer labs and voca­ for improvements. Are these funds slip­ ping through insignificant loop holes, or ire we using EVERY PENNY for con­ structive necessities? The use of our allotted money is an important issue, folks. creased. These improvements are needed now. These improvements will eventually be implemented in the county school system. The question at hand on Sept. 22 is one that concerns the lime interval that will elapse before improvements are implemented. Do we, as voters and taxpayers, wish for the improvements to be made now, or do we wish for these improvements to be implemented as funding becomes avail­ able for each project individually? Bond interest rates are currently the lowest they have been in many years. Inflation will cause construction and de­ sign costs to rise over the next 18 years. Many people think that an actual savings in real terms can be realized by financing lower construction costs now rather than waiting until later to pay higher construc­ tion costs interest free. Even if no signifi­ cant difference exists between the cost of the bond plan and the cost of the nonbond plan, the bond plan has another advantage. With the school bond, school facility improvement can begin immediately. Without the bond, children who are bom in Watagua County on Sept. 22, 1992, will not be able to utilize all of the school system improvements until after their graduation in 2010. I know what you're thinking. You're probably already associating me with the ranks of the anti-educationists. I ask you to consider a different picture. You see, whatever route for improving education you favor personally, we're all naming towards the same finish line. It's just that some of ushave different ideas about how to get there. Some ofus are cautious when it comes to money; some of us are wary about signing a 20- year contract. By voting "NO" to the school bond referendum we can adopt the Pay-AsYou-Go plan. Watauga County schools will see slow, but steady, improvements for a period of approximately 18 years. By renovating over a steady span of time, schools will be allowed to focuson chang­ ing areas of priority and keeping up with trends in student growth. Most importantly, our school system will beresponsible for using the resources it has in a conservative and productive manner, and our community will not have a 20-year, $44 million debt hanging over­ head. * The Citizens For Effective Education and the People Against Deficit published an advertisement in The Watauga Demo­ crat that conveyed a wise warning: "If you vote yes, then realize your mistake, you, your neighbors and children will have 20 years to regret your mistake. If you vote no, after two to three years you have control and can float bonds later." If some of you are thinking, "This issue doesn't concern me. I'll be hereno longer than six years (knock on wood)," then you'd better adjust your train of thought. Our nation'seducation system is made up of more "county school systems" than you can imagine. Together, these systems make up the educational force that we use to ensure a prosperous future. In other words, the children attending our nation's schools, no matter where these institutions are located, will play a vital role in the success of the United States of America. If we don't start making consistent, effective changes the U.S. education por­ trait will continue to fade along with our future. In order to repay this school bond, Watagua County will have to raise prop­ erty taxes. The county has estimated that the average increase to Watagua County taxpayers would be $30 a year. Thirty additional dollars is such a small amount to spend every year in order to provide county schoolchildren with the educa­ tional facilities they need and deserve. A report by the Public School Forum of North Carolina ranked all counties in North Carolina by their relative support of public education. Watagua county ranked 17th in its ability to pay for public education. Despite this, it ranked 87th in overall support of its public school sys­ tem. This county has one of the highest abilities to pay, but one of the lowest levels of actual support. We have the resources to upgrade these school facili­ ties; all that is required is the motivation to do so. Etheridge also said, "Unless North Carolinians expectmore from their schools, their young people and their teachers, other attempts toreform schools will not succeed." Watagua county resi­ dents should expect more from their schools, and they should be willing to make a small contribution to encourage them. Education is the foundation this soci­ ety is built on, and it can not be neglected. Support local education; Vote YES. By LORRIE GANTT Commentary Editor Here's the bottom line, folks: Watauga County schools are in need of repairs and renovations. Several of the structures, now SO and 60 years old, have inadequate space and inefficient heating and ventila­ tion. as well as other flaws. The school system is allotted $ 1,300,000every year for improvements; however, this amount of money does not seem to be sufficient. The concept of gradual improvement has been set aside and overshadowed by a vision of imme­ diate upgrading for all county institu­ tions. In order to transform this benefi­ cial dream into reality, we must make a choice. Should we save money and improve little by little, or should we accept the school bond referendum, increase taxes, remain in debt for 20 years, and have immediate renovations for county schools? We have the right to vote on Tuesday, Sept. 22. We have the right to decide. Implementation of the school bond would give WataugaCounty $24,000,000 to upgrade Parkway, Valle Crucis, Cove Creek, Blowing Rock, Hardin Park and Bethel schools. Watauga High School would also benefit from the proposed bond. Unfortunately, in the projected 20 years it would take to pay back the bonds, an additional $20,000,000 would be re­ quired in interest. The grand total adds up to $44 million, and, you guessed it—a tax increase. Wouldn "t it be more responsible to use the resources available already? Is it necessary to plunge the county into debt when school improvements could be made steadily, year by year? Sure, it may take some time to provide resource rooms, science labs, health rooms, enlarged media centers and bigger cafeterias for the children of our commu­ nity. But our community, as a whole, will be better off in the long run if we spend education funds wisely and use our cur­ rent resources and facilities to their full­ est. Folks, big problems take time to solve. You don't cook Thanksgiving Day's tur­ key in the microwave! Why should we impatiently expect the renovating of an entire county's school system to happen right away? We have $1,300,000 a year Perh apt diving intoa ridiculous amount of debt is not the answer. Let's conserve, save, be wise with our education funds, and witness the long term benefits of patient change. The hare ran swiftly, suddenly towards the finish line, but we all know who won. The tortoise who so steadily made progress became the victor. If time has erased this fable and its moral from your memory; ask any child — they can tell you the story.

Wiener addressed the sue of multicuturalism and "political arectness" on university campuses in ilation to President Bush's commencetenl speech at Michigan last year. According to Wiener, Bush was aticking political correctness, or P.C., as .placing racism with new terms and haed instead of defeating racism. Wiener Itacked Bush and the Republicans for sing political correctness as a campaign ictic much like Willie Horton in the 988 campaign. Wiener identified neo-conservatives ;ho have taken an anti-P.C. view by uee signs. The signs are 1) quoting nidcntificd pieces, 2) half-truths, which ccur when people state one fact to illusate their point but inadvertantly do not ill the whole story to deceive the public, nd 3)"making a mountain outof a moleill," a common practice of conservaives, said Wiener. Political correctness can be explained as awareness of minorities and an effort to end racism in order to promote equal­ ity. Critics of political correctness say it is a new McCarthism. Wiener pointed out conservative organizations such as theNational Associationof Scholars claim that white males are the new minorities on campuses. Wiener rejects these views and promotes political correctness. The issue of political correctness be­ came popular because of two other issues said Wiener. First, the collapse of the Soviet Union left the Republicans unable to attack Democrats of being soft on com­ munism. Second, the increase of diver­ sity in the American population hascaused the United States to be"less white". The campus society has been a model of di­ verse races living in a common setting. Wiener related political correctness to three areas on university campuses: 1) speech codes, 2) affirmative action and 3) multiculturalism and curriculum. Campus speech codes also known as hate speech codes, prohibit racial speech and derogatioas. The codes were estab­ lished because of incidences of racial violence and language at universities. The critics against campus speech codes view the codesas violationsof the First Amend­ ment. Wiener suggested acampus speech code that protects all public speech, but prohibits face to face, direct and inten­ tional personal assaults. "Rules are symbolic," said Wiener. "Rules say we take racism seriously, but we must do more." Affirmative action and multiculturalcurriculum are two ways to combat racism said Wiener. Affirmative action is used to diversify the student body, so there will not be a predominantly white student body, ac­ cording to Wiener. Critics saw that quali­ fication, not race, should determine ad­ mittance to a college. Wiener counter­ acted that qualification is not dependent on standardized tests. Some tests, in fact, are considered racially biased to middleto upper-class white students. The long term solution to racial equal­ ity and understanding is cultural diversity classes and a growth in minority faculty, said Wiener. "There needs to be courses teaching cultural diversity,"said Wiener. Wiener's books include "Professors, Politics and Pop"' and "Come Together: John Lennon in His Time". Wiener was a plaintiff in a Freedom of Information law­ suit against the FBI.

Two new using projects will add up to 476 new using spaces for students. According to Brad Reid, director of iidencelife, the statehas approved plans f construction of a new housing com­ ix, along with the renovation and addi1 to an existing hall. The first project includes the construc" of a new apartment complex off denheimer Drive above Mountaineer •artments. The complex, will house aui 300 students in the area behind 'U'« Edgcwood lot near the Broyhill i. The apartments will be comparable the current Mountaineer Apartments, 'with more of a residence hall feel, tent plans include the construction of •partments housing four students each. e apanments will be open to all single, perclass undergraduate students and duate students. Land clearing may be at as early as February, with actual istruction beginning sometime in May. e project is planned to becompleted by July of 1994, and is expected to house students by that fall. The second major project that wi11 take place is the renovation of Newland Hall. The current building will be redone and a new wing will be built, adding approxi­ mately 176 new spaces, giving Newland a total of 302 toyal housing spaces. The new wing will have the same basic suite style as the current building, but will add a lobby and kitchen to each floor. The construction will necessitate closing the building down for ayear, whichhas caused some concern over the possible loss of 126 female spaces. To compensate for these lost spaces, ASU is considering leasing a motel for the year and staffing it like the other halls, with RAs, an RD, and offering transportation back and forth from campus. Reid says that the goal of residence life is to be able to house 50 percent of ASU's students, but with the current 4,414 hous­ ing spaces, only37 percent can be housed. After these two projects, that percentage could rise to 42 percent. In addition to these projects, several other smaller projects are planned in the See TWO page 3 Test to utilize work study to begin By KRISTIN LACIANO Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian Photo by Keith Jackson ADDITION TO SECURITY: The new security booth in stadium parking lot will be manned by work study students.

Petitions can be picked up in Duncan'soffice on the second floor of Workman Hall. Students are granted petition seats on a first-come basis. If any students peti­ tion a seat and do not get one, they will be placed on a waiting list. If a senator chooses to resign, then the Student Gov­ ernment Association appoints a student from the waiting list to fill the position. "Although the election was not as well publicized as I thought it would be, I'm glad I won and am looking forward to relaying SGA information to students in Frank. I will be able to have input and make suggestions on SGA issues," said Brian Deaver, newly elected senator of Frank residence hall. The senators' main responsibility is to serve their constituents, whether they be off campus or in residence halls, accord­ ing to Duncan. The senators also must fulfill other obligations: They must attend all SGA meetings. They must serve on a committee and attend all those committee meetings. They must spend an hour a week on the SGA hall, helping cabinet members. The work-study program at Appala­ chian is a way for financial aid students to earn extra cash. The students work parttime on campus (usually 5-15 hours per week) for S4.25 an hour. Porscha Summers, a work-study stu­ dent who works in BB Dougherty in the Student Development Office, works approxiamately 10 hours a week running errands, addressing letters and filing. She says she likes the people she works with. The work-study students work just about everywhere—in the library, the Food Court the Quinn and almost anywhere in between. Now, thanks to the ASU secu­ rity office, there is one more job opportu­ nity for work-study students. A new securtiy booth was built in stadium park­ ing lot and will be manned by the workstudy students. Roy Tugman, the public safety and security directorat Applachian, said that the new job was not created to help those students left without a job because of construction on the Student Union. Numerousstudents were left with­ out promised jobs when construction on the Student Union ran longer than ex­ pected. He said that the booth was built to "enhance security in an area where many people felt uneasy at night." They are using work-study students simply because they are available. While the booth is currently being called a test project, Tugman stated that if the booth proves to be successful, they will still only use work study students "be­ cause of funding." The booth will be manned from 7:30 p.m. until 12:00 a.m. seven days a week. If the students sec a crime taking place, Tugman stressed that "they do nel take any action...they have specific orders not to " They are supposed to call an on duty officer to take care of the situation. When asked about the safety of the students manning the booth and if they will provide escorts for the students when their shift is over, Mr.Tugman responded, "We currently have three males working there so they would not need escorts." He also said that there would be constant radio contactbetween the booth and ASU security police. The one in stadium lot will double as an information booth with campus maps and brochures. This same access system can include academic buildings and residence halls.

"I feel that as a senator I will have a lot of work to do, but I think I will enjoy it. Being a senator makes me feel more a part of student government" said Jane Mclntyre, newly elected senator of Lovill Hall. SGA will hold a training workshop tonight for all newly elected senators. " The workshop will be an orientation of the Student Government Association. We will have workshops on senator du­ ties, writing legislation, and other SGA procedures," said Duncan. The first official meeting of the SGA will be held onTuesday, September 22 at 6:15 in room 1015 of the new College of Business.

The trio has been around since the late 1950s and early 1960s, and they proved that they are still as energetic as ever. At one time. The Kingston Trio was the number one vocal group in the world, and only the Beatles could sell as many concert tickets. They have been classified as a folk music group; however, at the concert, the members stated that they really did not initially see themselves in that category. Nick Reynolds, one of the trio's founding members, stated that the grouphas been labeled as "the begin­ ners of the commercial aspect of folk music.' The group's first single, 'Tom Dooley,"spent 18 weeks on the national top40 charts, and hit number one in October 1958. In 1961, the group won two Grammy awards, but they were placed in the coun­ try western category because there was no folk category until the following year. In that year, they See Kingston page 6 A woman is beaten every 15 seconds. Approxi­ mately 200 American women are beaten every hour. Forty percent of all women who are mur­ dered are killed by their husbands or lovers. Approximately 2.6 billion women are beatenevery year. Twenty percent of all Americans appprove of hitting a spouse on "appropriate" occasions, according to a Harris Poll. The employees and volunteers for OASIS Inc. (Opposing Abuse with Service, Information and Shelter) are working to stop the violence. OASIS is a private, non-profit organization serving Alleghany, Ashe, Avery and Watauga counties. The organization provides a 24-hour crisis line for family violence and sexual assault victims. It also offers shelter for abused women and their children for up to seven weeks, the location of which is confidential for obvious safety purposes.

On a less serious note, "High Speed Dirt" takes you through the mind of a skydiver. Skydiving is an activity that each of the members of Megadeth takes part in regularly. Overall, this album is toned down a bit from previous releases yet loses no substance or mean­ ing. Mustaine is still voicing his opinion on social and political issues, proving he is not ready to compromise his values for commercial success. ACT volunteers give community great service By ROBIN MARTIN Appalachian Staff Writer ACT (Appalachian and the Community To­ gether) is a volunteer organization on campus through which students have the opportunity to make a difference in the community of Boone. Students involved with ACT are linked with one of 30 local organizations in Watauga County that are in need of volunteers. Some of the organizations that ACT works with include: Hospitality House (homeless shelter), Headstart (preschool for childrenof low income families). Habitat for Humanity (low income housing), OASIS (domestic violence), the Humane Society and many others. According to Peggy Setzer, Director of ACT, there are two things students should consider be­ fore becoming involved. First is the amount of time a person wants to commit and second is the amount of emotional involvement that is required for some volunteer jobs. For example, students who become involved with the Watauga Youth Network are required to commit four hours a week as compared to Habitat for Humanity volunteers who may only spend one Saturday a month helping out A Watauga Youth volunteer would need to be willing to invest time and emotional energy where the Habitat volunteer would need to invest their physical energy in projects. Setzer explained that two of the more popular programs are The Link and PetTherapy programs. The Link program matches ASU students with "at risk" public school students (K-8 grade). The ASU student is there to provide friendship and academic help to the kids they are matched with. See ACT page 6 �^ The Appalachian. Tuesda\. Sppte^r /<; iqq-> Kingston (TP. RAZZLE DAZZLE CH^ Continued from page 5 came back and won another Grammy for the same songs, this time in the folk category. The trio sang calypso music for awhile in California; for they have a very diverse sound. They received numerous gold records back in the 1950s and 1960s, and they are the first band that really made money playing music. They paved the way for many others. The concert in Farthing was one to remember. It was apart of the university's performing arts series, and it drew a very diverse crowd. The audience was full of students, parents and even children, as some came to relive the past and others came just to enjoy live music. The trio did not come open stage until around 8:15 p.m., and that caused the crowd to become anxious. They applauded continuously until the band appeared, with its two acoustic guitars and the famous banjo. The trio would play one chord of one of their songs, and the crowd would go wild, singing along or just clapping and cheering. Their stage presence was overwhelm­ ing, and during the middle of the show, they paused and told the audience how they got started. BAD CO. The sister of one of the members used to have a record by the older Kingston Trio, and her brother stole it from her one day and enjoyed it so much that he decided to get a band similar to started. The sister lives in Boone and does a lot for the Hunger Coalition here. At the concert, she was presented with a bouquet of red roses and a plaque forher work with the coalition. _ It was a really touching display of af ! fection between brother and sister. 5 The concert was frill of lively, familiar songs. Among those performed were 5 "Where Have all the Flowers Gone?. "The Meny Minuet," "MTA"and "Green back Dollar." Original founder Bob Shane s Scotch and Soda" was per­ formed, much to the audience's delight. The calypso "Ah Woe Ah Me" was a refreshing change in the show.

ACT Coniuined from page 5 In Pet Therapy, student volunteers bring animals from the Humane Society to local nursing homes on a weekly basis to visit the elderly. Sctzer would like to see a group in which every campus club is represented and those representatives in turn motivate arid inspire their club members to action through volunteer efforts. "A group of this sort could really make a difference in the community,"saysSetzer. For those inter­ ested in participating in the coalition group, meetings will be held on Mondays at 7p.m. in room 106 of Whitner Hall. Another event that ACT will be in­ volved with this year is the 1993 COOL National Conference on Student Commu­ nity Service. March 25-28 at the University of Illinois. The COOL (Campus Outreach Opportunity League)Conference will pro vide an opportunity for students to interact with others and strengthen their dedica­ tion to social change in their own communities. Also, later this semester there will be a sponsored fast. Participat­ ing indiv iduals will raise money for various charities by having sponsors support the number of hours they fast. If you are interested in getting involved now is the time to ACT. Two upcoming training seesions will be held on Wednes­ day, Sept. 23 and Sunday, Oct. 18 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. To participate with these programs, students need to fill out an ACT application and be willing to make time for a twenty-minute interview with an ACT represer lative. Applications can be picked up at the back door of the student union which faces the post office or call the ACT office at 262-2193.

V KNOCKOUT DEAL Continued from page 5 Jennifer Smith, the executive director of OASIS, said, "We're trying to help end that cycle of violence in people's lives." The organization certainly seems to be accomplishing itspurpose. However, there is still much work to be done and volun­ teers are welcome any time. Melissa Doyle, Natalie Troutman Torin Lamb,Chad Cliner, Carrie Parker, Eric Arb .1, Overall, the concert was a great suc­ cess, and lots of fun for all. Farthing was very crowded, and the audience partici­ pated in full. The Kingston Trio would definitely be invited back to perform again in the future. OASIS The numbers are evidence of the in­ credible difference OASIS has made between living and merely surviving for so many people.

Wake Forest trailing Appalachian (^ four, the Deacons capitalized on l-and 3 pass from seniorquarterback h West to junior splitend Todd Dixon. ie went on to score on a 4-yard pass i West to 1991 All-Atlantic Coast ference tight end John Henry Mills to p up the contest. [t was a tight game all the way ugh," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore ."We gave ourselves achance to win, we just couldn't hang on." olid defensive play and limitedoff enplay by both squads led to a scoreless half. fake Forest totaled 160 yards to App e's 106 in the half whie neither of the ns turned the ball ovtr. loth of the squads wet forced to punt llof their firsthalf posessions. Strong defense and consistent punting by the Mountaineers held the Deacons from en­ tering App State territory until four min­ utes remained in the half. Leading the defensive attack for the Apps were Brent David, Mike Byers, Rico Mack, Kevin Sikorski, Kenny Bright, Avery Hall and Ben Pardue. ASU punter Harold Alexander was another key in the Moun­ taineer defense as he forced the Deacons to twice begin their offensive series from the 1 -yard line, and three other times from inside their own 25. "Our defense played well. They scrapped and fought all night," Moore said. "I was also very pleased with Harold. He kept us in the game at some adverse times." The only potential scoring opportunity for either of the teams came 1ate in the first half with the ball at the Appalachian 42. On the first of the final three plays from this mark in the half, a pass from West intended for Bobby Jones was almost intercepted by Mack. Mack who was po­ sitioned at his own 40 had the field wide open in front of him. West's second at­ tempt pass was incomplete and he was sacked on the final attempt by Steve Patterson as the final seconds ticked off to end the half. Wake Forest jumped out to a 3-0 lead over the Mountaineers midway through the third quarter. A key fourth down con­ version by junior tailback John Leach kept the drive by the Deacons alive yet the Apps came back with defensive pressure. West was sacked by Hall on his first attempt for a loss of four and went on to execute an incomplete pass before stum­ bling on the third attempt to suffer a loss of an additional four yards. Wake then successfully scored on a 51-yard field goal attempt by WadeTollison with 7:16 remaining in the third period. The field goal marked the second longest in the university's history with the top field goal coming from Tollison two years ago against the Mountaineers. On the Deacons' next possession, the Mountaineer defenseheld tight and forced Wake to punt from its own 48. Deacon punier Mike Greene punted for 33 yards to the Appalachian 19 where wide re­ ceiver Anthony Smith caught the punt and found an opening in the field to com­ plete the 81 -yard return for a Mountaineer touchdown that put ASU in the lead 6-3. Jay Millsoncame on to the field to kick for the extra point and it was good to put the Apps up 7-3 with 2:23 left in the quarter. The Mountaineers held on through the quarter and into the fourth quarter until the Deacons final possession which resulted in a game winning play. Appalachian State struggled offen­ sively throughout the entire game as they accumulated 79 net yards passing to the Deacons 162 to total 191 net yards to Wake's 268.

Appalachian men's and women's cross country seasons begin By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor Appalachian Photo by Randy Rein ink ES OPEN WITH A VICTORY: The Lady Mountaineers' cross country squad ^ top four individual places at their season opener to capture their first victory ^ason. This past Saturday at Bass Lake in Blowing Rock. The Appalachian State men's and women's cross country squads opened the season this past Saturday at Moses Cone Park as they hosted squads from Wake Forest, Davidson, UNC- Charlotte and UNC Ashcville. Men's Action The Mountaineers opened their season finishing second behind strong Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse Wake Forest. Wake scored 17 points to win the match followed by Appalachian with 44. UNC-Charlotte finished third with 84 followed by Davidson with 105. UNCAshcville rounded out the competition with 146 points. "Overall, this was a great start for us. I really felt that we ran good, but not too good. We still have a lot of improve­ ments to make," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. The highlight of the Mountaineer per­ formance came from freshman Tommy Holland. Holland, who had no prior competition experience in races with dis­ tances over 3.1 miles, led the Apps with a fifth-place finish. Holland's time of 25:34 not only set a new freshman record at ASU but also placed him at the ninth slot in all - timecross country performances at Appalachian. The former record was established in 1984 by James Phelps at 25:47. "Tommy really did a superb job. He shattered the old record. Going into the meet, he set two goals (to break therecord and todefeat Mark Davis) andhe achieved both of them. It was a good way to start off," Fereshetian said. Mark Davis, the sixth seed on the W ake Forest squad, was regarded as a premier high school recruits for this season. Davis, who finished eighth overall in the meet, finished sixth in the Kinney National meet last year. Seniors Todd Walters and Brian Watkins also posted top ten finishes for the Mountaineers. Walters clocked 25:54 to finish sixth and set a personal record by 45 seconds, while Watkins finished tenth at 26:14 also setting a personal record by 18 seconds. Sophomore Brian Miesch and junior Billy Pemberton rounded out the Apps' top five as they finished eleventh and twelfth respectively with times of 26:18 and 26:24. Other strong performances came from sophomores Jamie Griggs, and Alan Whicker and junior Duslin Alfred, who all established personal records at the meet. Griggs clocked 26:56 to improve by six seconds while Whicker clocked 27:06 to improve by 1:58. Alfred made the most significant improvement with a 27:14 clocking which was 2:09 better than his previous best mark. Pat Phillips of Wake Forest captured the overall individual title with a 25:17 clocking. The Mountaineers will travel to Can­ ton, Ohio, on Sept. 26 to compete in the Malone Invitational with approximately fifteen squads from MaloneCollege, Ohio University, Ohio State and a number of small colleges.

The Lady Spar­ tans played great defensively and both teams had a tremendous amount of hus­ tling. The Lady Spartans became aggres­ sive at the net and dominated the game, winning 15-7. In game three, the Lady Spartans re­ sumed their excellent net play, and at times the Lady Mountaineers had trouble getting the ball onto the UNC-G side. However, the ASU squad improved their serves and after a time out, gained confi­ dence and began playing much better. Game three stayed close as both teams played well at the net. It was tight all the way through, but UNC G pulled out in the end to win 15-13. In the fourth and final game of the match, the Lady Apps, led by Miriam Sealy, jumped out to a 6-0 lead before forcing the Lady Spartans to call a time out. After the time out, the UNC-G squad came back on the floor and lessened the Appalachian State lead. ASU hung in on several big kills by Wright and a number of key plays by Deanna Keen. Neither team was willing to give up as both had several chances at game point for the win. In the end, the Lady Apps lost a very disappointing and hard fought game, 1715. There were several keys to this match. The Lady Spartans played tremendous at the net, and both teams hustled greatly, but in the end, UNC-G just seemed to outlast the Appalachian State squad. The Lady Mountaineers will host Vir­ ginia Tech tonight in a 7 p.m. contest in Varsity Gym.

The university purchased several of these booths over three year's ago. hey have been in storage until one was placed at the State Farm parking lot nd another at the stadium parking lot. Appalachian State University police hired three work-study students, all ten, to sit in the booth in the middle of the parking lot to watch for suspicious ctivity; but if they observe a crime taking place, they were told to call for a olice officer and wait for him/her to appear. In other words, the work-study crson is not allowed to interfere in the crime in any way. By the time the fficers arrive, the crime may be complete. In order for the booth to be useful, officer who can stop a crime in progress instead of just watch it is needed, lacing a student there to just sit and hope nothing happens is useless. V/henthe booth was placed in the parking lot, more lights were added to tighten up the area. In addition, one blue light security phone was installed in it vicinity. No security cameras were added for surveillance, only the eyes of student in the booth are responsible for keeping watch. The booth itself, however, is not secure. This man is left in a little booth the middle of a dark parking lot with no one else around. Neither the student the equipment in the booth is protected from would be criminals. ASU does not need an information booth in the middle of the parking lot that side of campus. Most visitors looking for information come to ppalachian to talk to professors, tour the campus, or speak with admissions mnel. None of this is possible between 7:30 p.m. and midnight. A visitor 'ould also need directions to even find the booth in the first place. ASU security should use its manpower to patrol the parking lot on foot, not pplace a student out there to do the job of the police. ASU police need to find • better way to provide security in the stadium parking lot without placing a indent there with only a telephone to stop a crime. ©£ "iKe, -HS COMMENTARY tmVtt&c Reflections on convocation 1992 The concept of multiculturalism raises some difficult questions JUZAR MERCHANT Appalachian Columnist Last Thursday, Appalachian students and faculty had the "privilege" of hearing Dr. John Wiener of the Univer­ sity of California at Irv ine talk about political correctness and multiculturalism. The entire speech focused prima­ rily on bashing George Bush and theconservative agenda. Wiener preachedhis brainsout about political correct­ ness, and attacked the Bush Administration for empha­ sizing the PC issue at the University of Michigan in front of 63,000 students, alumni and other members of the audience. When Wiener mentioned that shouts of "four more years" erupted primarily from the business majors, certain members of the convocation audience broke into laughter, showing their utter disrespect to the graduating members of one of the finest business schools in the nation. Unfortunately, Wiener and many in the audience didn't realize (or didn't want to realize) that business­ men, along with engineers and scientists, are the thrust behind our nation's economy and create virtually every job available today. In addressing campus issues, Wiener put an emphasis on regulating hate-filled interpersonal comments. Al­ though Wiener had a valid concern regarding face-toface racism (His main point was: The right to free speech should be protected by not regulating a public address, but an individual does not have the "right" to verbally injure someone through racist comments directed at another particular individual), the problem arises when this regulation must be enforced. Does this new rule mean that anything anyone says can be interpreted by someone else to be a "racist comment"? Would reverse racism be handled the same way racist comments to­ wards minorities are handled? The answers to these questions are so subjective, that there could be as many interpretations as there are people. Therefore, action should be taken against individuals only when there is extreme verbal and physical racial harassment. Another campus issue Wiener addressed involves in­ tegrating a "multicultural approach" to traditional col­ lege courses. He insisted that multiculturalism would not throw away the traditional curriculum, but only present new "feministic and minority"perspectives towards tra­ ditional curricula. This pernicious "new approach," however, would do nothing but constantly preach the domination of "old white males," as Wiener referred to them (saying it quite a few times along with some repeated racial obscenities—seems likehe savored them). Multiculturalism has introduced a radically new, anticapitalist, anti-"old white male" curriculum to college education, making many of the courses look more like big jokes offered for credit to those with educational ambitions loo low to enroll in anything else. For ex­ ample, ASU has an Interdisciplinary Studies Program consisting of a couple of courses, that are probably extremist liberal garbage from the available course de­ scriptions. One of these includes a course that develops "environmental action skills"in students. Being environ­ mentally aware is fine, but it doesn't merit the offering of a "humanities" course with the hard earned taxpayer's money. Another class offered at ASU that is even more outrageous actually studies horoscopes, psychic phe­ nomenon, and how they relate to real life experiences. This is what "multicultural ism" has really accomplished. Wiener also tried to tear down the critics of affirmative action, citing extremely meager reasons for the lack of minorities in certain jobs and poor test scores by certain minority groups. Language spoken in the home is sup­ posedly the main reason for certain minority students scoring low on standardized tests. This seems extremely ridiculous since all we're doing is giving somebody the excuse to speak poor English. There are many immigrant children whose parents don't even speak English; yet their speaking, writing and rhetorical skills are excellent, mainly because they work hard at what they do. Affirmative action moves towards a socialist govern­ ment by not letting competition and market conditions decide who should receive a scholarship or be hired for a job. Instead of market conditions, we have quotas on hiring certain minority groups. Instead of competition, we have automatic curves on civil service examinations for minorities. It's ironic that there are no quotas in the NBA or NFL yet there seems to be no discrimination problem (over 75 percent of NBA players and over 55 percent of NFL players are black). These statistics prove that when an individual possesses skills that are benefi­ cial to the organization, he or she will be hired. After all, every organization's main goaf whether it's a basketball team or an engineering firm, is to make a profit, and it would be extremely moronic for a firm not to hire the best available people (for example, an NBA owner wouldn't discriminate against blacks unless he wants a 10 win season). According to Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institution at Stanford, our crucial decisions need to be moved out of the courtroom, where the decisions do not directly affect the judges, and moved into the private sector. A business owner shouldn't be told by some bureau­ crat in a black robe, whose judgements are based on how well they'll fit into his/her reelection campaign rather than maintaining equality, how to run his/her organiza­ tion. Teaching employees basic skills that they should have picked up in class is not what American businesses are here for—that is the job of a competitive educational system (if given a chance). Editor's note: Juzar Merchant is a freshman majoring in accounting and physics Students' bank accounts threatened A few dollars required here and there leaves us with fewer dollars By MATTHEW McNANEY Appalachian Columnist In the Land of the Fee, higher educa­ tion is an expensive investment. Your parents saved, hoping that the interest rate would surpass the inflation rate. Perhaps you weren't that lucky and paid for college on your own, thanks in part to the hefty paychecks for work-study pro­ grams. The payer received a bill contain­ ing your flat tuition, your activity fund­ ing, and your book rental fee. I feel these bills ought to contain warnings much like the ones on cigarettes. • WARNING: The following educa­ tional facility will be hazardous to your checkbook. Students withpregnantbank accounts may result with credit injury, premature withdrawal fines, and low ac­ count weight. At least with cigarettes, you know you'll get a horrible affliction that con­ stantly causes you to lose your lighter. With our school, there are hundreds of hidden payments. The worst situation occurs if you are a first-year student. You pay something like $600 a semester to live in a residence hall. In exchange for this, you receive free water, power, limited cleaning ser­ vices, and the freshmen's godsend, free cable. You also get, at no extra charge: loud neighbors, whistling windows and pipes interlaced through the rooms. You live under fiberglass ceiling tiles, an over­ whelming odor of artificially buttered popcorn and a chaperone. You have to contend with ragged elevators and, if you are male, the opportunity to share one bathroom with five hairy, reeking indi­ viduals with poor urinal perception. I know. It's quite a bargain. I read about certain first-year students having to live in the lobbies like disaster relief recipients. Look: the university grants them fifteen dollars a week, car­ peting, easy access to the trash chute, a fire escape, an industrial microwave and elevator service to the front door. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I'm sure our chancellor would trade his plush, ranch style home to be in their mocca­ sins. The memories of the freshmen's stu­ dent cuisine linger with me best (I think it is because I am still digesting it). I bet the food is so expensive at the Food Court because of that fancy Oriental sweet-and-sour sauce next to the regis­ ter. I bet they are taking a killing on that. I know that every cent pays for materials and staff, but think of it this way: when you go to McDonalds there are adozen or more people working there. The food is comparable to that of the Food Court in texture and taste, but it is cheaper. Sure, McDonalds doesn't have The Wok, but neither should any other well-lit area. Again the freshmen suffer because they can't use the clever two-window, pay-then-decompose system at McDonalds. They have to shell out $20 for a parking lot conveniently located in Virginia. At least they learn to live with­ out it; the upperclassmen have become accustomed to having a car (just not one that we can park oncampus). We have to pay $70 for a parking slicker. It entitles us to go directly to the parking lot that we specified and drive around five minutes looking for a parking space.The result is we drive to a different parking lot that we did not pay for. Finally, we walk past the parking lot we paid $70 to park in. If you are foolish enough to park in your parking lot without being encased in a fat yellow line then you get a $15 ticket. Within the courseof three months, you could pay $130 to park in the lot that you waited three years to receive. After that, you no longer receive a ticket, you get towed or wheel locked. It costs you $50 for them to release your car. The situation is not getting any better. Administration has great ideas to attract more students (renovated student union, bigger gym, stand-up roller coaster) and these structures, when or if built, need space. And where is this space to be? Well, stadium parking lot looks as if it could hold a big water slide. Also notice ho w our freshmen' s population gets bigger and bigger. New resi­ dence hall plans gain dust and good ole Hoyle Hoffman keeps approving eleva­ tors that rival only those in an abandoned coal mine. At least we can use the build­ ings we pay for; our children will write us about them. It's the little things that add up todrain the income from your banana-bending job (That is the Norwegian way of say­ ing "flipping burgers" for those of you who are not as cosmopolitan as I). I got a notice from the library that said I owed fines on a book I already turned in. They always wait until you owe money before they get around to sending you a notice. (Tip: always insist that they check in a book when you turn it in.

Another instance is the computer fee. I have a good computer at home on which I can do my assignments. If you take a computer class, or certain writing classes, they charge you $15 for using the computers anyway. I think the money goes toward paying the computer observers. They are the students who sit alert in the computer room. If something breaks, they can write "Out of Order" on a piece of notebook paper and stick it on the monitor. Finally on our high financial checklist are the book prices. Every year I get an English professor who says, "I just hap­ pen to have something written in that silk bound, gold leaf, import from Germany. Each of you need to purchase this book, prove you own it, and then you may fix a wobbly table with it or something useful like that" Thank goodnessyou can sellyour books back at the end of the year for enough money to get you car washed. I shouldn't complain though. It just bothers me that people who pay their way through college endure this. I think of the people tapped dry by the taxing standards of our college and it makes me sad. Well, I guess I must think this over when I go out eating tonight at that Japa­ nese restaurant. Until next time, think dirty thoughts and keep them to yourself. To the Editor: I'd like to voice my frustration and anger regarding the 'news clip' "ASU Loses Quality Physics Professor" in the September 10 issue of The Appala­ chian. The title alone is void of feeling. I can assure you Dr. J. Gordan Lindsay was more than a "quality professor" to everyone that knew him. Did the reporter even bother to research this distinguished, creative man? Did she have anything in mind other than filling up some empty space on the second page of the paper? Yes, testing the business building is hot news. And we certainly need to know that there were under age people drinking on campus(a truly inspiring story). An even better use of front page space was the announcement about free beer on page nine—I mean, THAT is what journal­ ism is all about. Somehow, though, they don't seem as important as the tragic death of a professor that has been with ASU for 23 years. The reporter told the story in black and white, but to the family, friends, and colleagues of this man, there was more to him than being involved with the Society of Physics Students. There is a human side to this story; there are feelings involved. For many students this is the first time they've ever suffered the loss of a professor— especially one as caring and sincere as Dr. Lindsay. He taught many students, yet he made it a point to get to know every one of them. He's more than a 'quality' professor! I'm really disgusted by the second page blurb that did not even begin to shine a light on this man. The Appala­ chian did inform us of Dr. Linsay's passing, but it printed his obituary as an insignificant second thought. I think it would be appropriate to spend a little time and deliberation to speak to his students and colleagues, and to report on what Appalachian State University has really lost. There was more than ample time to get the whole story—isn't that what reporting is all about? Shannon Brown ASU Box 12325 Citizen supports the School Bond issue To the Editor Voting is a right and a responsibility. Being an "EDUCATED VOTER" is an awesome responsibility. This is a letter to our younger voters; our students, and our college community. Many of you will exercise your right to vote for the first time in the next few months. In most elections it is impossible to truly know what is the "right way to vote". Alcohol sales and "no-win" political ballots are difficult choices for every voter. Your choice when you vote on September 22 will be the easiest vote you will ever make with a clear conscience. We need the vote of all of our youth, of all of the ASU students, and of all of the "EDUCATED VOTERS" in our community. If this is your first vote or if you want to vote with confidence, VOTE YES! on both school bond issues in the September 22 election. A "yes" vote for education IS a vote for the children and for a better- educated future. Here is the one voting opportu­ nity where you can "do the right thing" for your community. Please, be responsible to this issue and get out and VOTE YES! on September 22. It will be an important vote for you too.

The walk was established as a memo­ rial to Jeni Gray, a student who was ab­ ducted and killed in 1989 while walking near campus. The silent walk took students and mem­ bers of the Boone community through campus and down King Street. "We walk in silence because this is a hme for reflection, remembering and thinking. During the walk, we walk in silence. I hope people realize though, there is a time to speak. That time is now," said Barbara Daye, associate vice chancellor for student development. It is time for people to make a commitment about what they will do in their commu­ nity to stop violence, according to Daye. The walk began in front of the admin­ istration building and Chancellor John Thomas addressed the crowd. "Violence is a human issue. Let's all examine our attitudes and behavior and do what wecan to show that violence will not be tolerated," said Thomas. Thomas also told the crowd that a bell would toll every four minutes during the march, because every four minutes.a woman is assaulted. Don Sanz, director of the ASU coun­ seling center, also spoke. "I was a friend of Jeni's. I wish you all could understand and remember thegentle innocence of Jeni Gray. I miss her, and if you had known her, you would miss her too," said Sanz. Sanz also spoke on the importance of changing our attitudes. "As men we are responsible to influ­ ence other men's views on women. We must realize that when a woman is raped every seven minutes, a man is raping a woman every seven minutes. As women, I ask you to not give up on us," said Sands Thomas and Sanz then led the march through campus as many passers-by stopped to watch the silent crowd. The walk proceeded down King Street, stop­ ping traffic and drawing many to their windows. The walk was interrupted only once, by fire engines leaving the station. The walk ended in the parking lot of the Lois Harrill Senior Center. There Barbara Daye introduced Leigh Cooper Wallace, who was kidnapped and raped by the same man who killed Jeni Gray. Wallace spoke, with her husband and young son at her side, on the importance See OVER page 2 Appalachian Photo by Randy Ratlin* AWARENESS WALK: The third annual awareness walk attracted over 600 students, faculty and community members Tuesday night.

Chancellor Thomas announces retirement effective July 1993 Thomas, senior chancellor in the UNC system, takes his leave after 14 years of service By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Chancellor John E.Thomas announced last Friday he would retire at the end of this academic year. Thomas has been the chancellor of Appalachian State Univer­ sity for the past 14 years and is the senior chancellor in the UNC system. "I decided a long time ago to step down while I was still active and healthy," said 61-year-old Thomas. "This is a beautiful time to take the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools report and hand it over to a successor." The report is a two-year self-study of Appalachian with recommendations and critiques presented to the Southern Asso­ ciation of Colleges and Schools for ac­ creditation. Appalachian received high marks for its academic program and for the way the university is operated. "I think the chancellor is leaving the university in excellent condition," said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice-chancellor of business affairs. "I was surprised, but I'm very happy for him." Dan Gurley, president of Student Gov­ ernment Association, was also surprised by the chancellor's retirement. "Chancellor Thomas called me at 9:30 Friday morning to announce his retire­ ment. It was quite a shock. I was sad­ dened to hear the announcement because Chancellor Thomas has done a lot for this University. His will be mighty large shoes to fill. I wish him much success in his retirement." Thomas was appointed chancellor in 1979 after four years as vice-chancellor of academic affairs at ASU. "My goal was to achieve the distinc­ tion of a premier rural residential univer­ sity," said Thomas. Appalachian is on its way to this goal by concentrating on good classroom teaching, according to Tho­ mas. "ChancellorThomas' greatest strength may be that he has always put students first," said C. D. Spangler, president of the University of North Carolina. "The school has made some remark­ able studies and through it all hefThomas] never lost sight that students are the uni­ versity," added Gurley. The Chancellor's responsibilities in­ clude obtaining financial resources for the university and acting as a liason be­ tween the public and the university. In Thomas' 14 years at ASU, the university has grown from a $2.9 million foundation to a $15 million foundation. Thomas' personal accomplishments center around the quality of students and faculty at ASU. He is most proud of Appalachian's growth in the ability to attract quality faculty, staff and students. "I see my job as being the guy who does the downfield blocking for people who want to do things—finding the resources and support," said Thomas. "It's fulfill­ ing to be able to see faculty member's dreams come trueand know I had a part in making that happen." The hardships of being a chancellor See CHANCELLOR page 3 College of Business building tested ASU Crime Reports By MAYNA BRACHEAR Appalachian Staff Writer Students and faculty of the new Col­ lege of Business building havecomplained of headaches, dizziness and nausea since it was constructed two years ago. The complaints are thought to be a result of "sick building syndrome" because of lin­ gering paint and glue fumes and a poor ventilation system. "I taught summer school this year, and frequently I would go into my eight o'clock class and after five or 10 minutes I'd be light headed or dizzy," said Fred Wall ace, professor in the College of Busi ness. "When the building first opened there were a lot of complaints," said student Robin Nelson. "But now, I don't think many people are complaining." An engineering firm from Atlanta is now conducting studies and tests in the building. The investigation started Wednesday and will include a survey of material safety data sheets for materials used in the building's construction. The environ­ mental engineers will search for traces of formaldehyde, carbon dioxide, or any other potential chemical hazards. The test will also survey the building's heat­ ing, ventilation, air conditioning and cool­ ing systems, including air ducts, fans, filters and condensation drip pans. The analysis is being conducted in ac­ cordance with nationally recognized stan­ dards approved by the Society of Heat­ ing, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Appalachian Photo by Keith Jackson COLLEGE OF BUSINESS: The 2-year-old College of Business building is undergo­ ing tests to diagnose its "sick building syndrome." Engineers for determining indoor airqual­ ity. The building already exceeds the codes set forth by the ASHRE by 33 percent, according to vice chancellor of public affairs Mark Levine. This week's tests will be conducted on a full time basis for the most accurate results. Most of the previous tests have been conducted tfirough spot monitoring like a recent test for excessive quanitites of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide by University Safety Officer Evan Rowe. The test will cost approximately $9800. Complaints from faculty and staff started when the building opened. Fac­ ulty moved into the building while work­ ers were still painting and staining. Many faculty and students believe the ventila­ tion was poor and fresh air was notcircu­ lated throughout the building. The Col­ lege of Business is the first closed build­ ing on campus in which no windows can be opened. There is more than enough fresh air according to William Sanders, chief de­ sign engineer on the building. The build­ ing draws in outside air for cooling and circulation. The sick building syndrome can be connected to building supplies used. Safety records on chemicals used in the building indicate that they can cause prob­ lems. For instance, the safety report by the manufacturer of a contact cement used to gluecarpet lists dizziness andnausea as effects of exposure. Three cases of cancer have been diag­ nosed in faculty working inone hall of the Sec NEW page 2 By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor At 3:25 pm. an electrical shop supervisor called securityto request some­ body tocheck a suspicious smell(possible electrical fire) at the Geology Dept.

Thomas will then move with his wife to Oak Ridge, Tennessee and consider future career opportunities. 'Teaching is likely," said Thomas. Tho­ mas admits, however, that he will need to prepare and read a lot before he goes back to the classroom. Spangler and the ASU board of trust­ ees will begin to discuss procedures for selecting a new chancellor within the next few weeks. Thomas believes Appala­ chian will attract many candidates for the position. Although Thomas will not par­ ticipate in selecting a successor, faculty, staff and students will have input on the selection of a chancellor through inter­ views, talks and meetings. Thomas explained his announcement to retire was done this early in the year in order to allow time for the selection pro­ cedure. A committee will be appointed to review candidates and provide an objec­ tive selection process. A new chancellor should be selected by spring. For the remainder of the year, Thomas will face the challenge of allocating al­ ready tight financial resources. "I'm very proudof thefact that we have a heritage of teacher education, particu­ larly now when there's so much empasis on good teacher education," said Tho­ mas.

However, courage is a trait that everyone, large small, contains to some extent.

You station yourself in front of the tube, remote control ip hand, but all you can think about are your three tests tomorrow. How can you relax? First of all, turn off the television. Some sooth­ ing music may help, but the goal is tostop thinking. Practice deep breathing. Concentrate on the sensa­ tions of the air entering and leaving your nose. Think about your diaphragm and its movements. When breathing properly, your abdomen should move, not your chest. Breathing with your dia­ phragm requires less work and in turn less stresson the body and more energy for other activities. Now practice what is called progressive muscle relaxation. Start at your feet, tensing the muscles, and then relaxing them. Move up to your calves, up to the abdomen, until you reach the head and neck muscles. By tensing and thenrelaxing, your muscles should be more relaxed. You are still breathing deeply, your muscles are less tense, so now let's focus on the mental relax­ ation. Picture a place you feel comfortable.It could be real or imaginary. Think about everything you can feel. Concentrate on the air hitting your skin, the feel of your clothes against your body, whether or not you are wearing shoes or jewelry. Now think about what sounds you can hear. Is there wind, music, any movement? Notice what time of day it is. Do you see any colors, shadows or shapes? Enjoy this feeling of being safe, relaxed and comfortable. Use all of your senses to enhance these sensations. When you feel completely re­ laxed and ready to return to the real world, open your eyes and turn your attention to the room. Look around and became re acquainted with reality. You should now be able to go out and have somequa]ity personal time without test stress mterferring. John Letmon and YokoOno. Her last photographs of them were taken only two hours before he was shot to death in New York City. Lennon trusted Leibovitz because she treated all of her subjects as real people, rather than the famous stars that they were. Her style is a vibrant blend of humor and poi­ gnancy that truly captures the public's attention. Leibovitz's photos of Bette Midler covered in roses and John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd as the infamous Blues Brothers have helped show the true, humorous side of popular celebrities. Her eye-catching work has also been seen on both The Gap and American Express international advertising campaigns, as well as on album and book covers, posters for the World Cup Games, many major magazines and a number of motion picture stills. She is published both nationally and interna­ tionally. The exhibit is a collection of more than 133 images, including portraits of John Lennon, Ella Fitzgerald, the Rolling Stones and President Nixon at his resignation. This exhibition is the first ever in all of Leibovitz's career and incorporates pic­ tures from the beginning of her career, as well as some of her latest works. In conjunction with the exhibit, a composite book, entitled Annie Leibovitz Photographs 19701990, has been published by Harper Collins. It includes over 250 images in both color and blackand-white, and contains many pictures that were previously unpublished. Some of the photos in the book are family photographs, which Leibovitz uses as the basis for all of her other, more famous works. Leibovitz was bom in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1949 and was one of six children. She was commissioned by Rolling Stone todo acover photo of John Lennon while still a student at the San Fransisco Art Institute. Only two years after re­ ceiving her Bachelor's Degree of Fine Arts, she officially became Rolling Stone's chief photogra­ pher. She was also commissioned to work on the prototype of Vanity Fair magazine, which is still well-known for its risque cover photographs. Annie Leibovitz has influenced and helped to shape American pop culture through her vivid and candid photographs. The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art is open Tucsday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, 2:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Admis­ sion is S3 for adults and S2 for students and senior adults.

The final Art in the Park shows to return to Blowing Rock By ROBIN MARTIN Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian mountain region is often char­ acterized by its wealth of artisans and craftspeople. Blowing Rock in particular has become a place where craftspeople come to display their talents during the summer months. For the past 30 years art and craft lovers have driven for miles to attend the summer Art in the Park shows in Blowing Rock. The weekend of Aug. 15 was the fourth Art in the Park show of the season. The next show will be the weekend of Sept. 12. The arts and crafts festival will be held at the Blowing Rock Memorial Park on Main Street. The show will begin at 10a.m. and continue until 5 p.m. and will display the work of many exhibitors. For the 30th anniversary of Blowing Rock's Art in the Park show, there will be 125 exhibitors. Exhibits will range from pottery to weavings and many other crafts in between. Artists to note include Ruth and Jacob Gregory. They create both traditional Appalachian and modem basket-mak­ ing. Reproductions of Shaker furniture have also become popular for the Gregorys. Peggy Whitted, of the Whitted Family Weavers, will be another exhibitor. Her traditional weavings include placemats, napkins, table-runners and fin­ ger towels. Unique pottery by Judy Bratcr will also be on exhibit. Her pieces range in size from small, eggshaped candle lanterns to very large vases and bowls. In creating all her pottery, Brater completes a 12-step process in addition to hand carving and cutting each piece. Though the show draws many tourists and vaca­ tioners it also attracts residents from the surrounding area. Many come to marvel at the expertise of the displayed handiwork. Others come to celebrate a time when individuals took pride in the things they made. Still others come to remember a time when families depended on the combined skills of its members to make the things needed to survive and live in the Appalachian region. Living in the age of automation and mass pro­ duction where there is liule pride in one's own contribution to a finished product-it's a real con­ trast to see these men and women display their wares so proudly. The fact that each work is different from the rest does not make it a mistake but gives it what mass uniform production lacks, personality. Art in the Park will return for the remaining shows of the season on Sept. 12 and Oct. 3.

Thursday, September 10.1992 7 THE APPALACHIAN THURSDAY, September 10,1990 Mountaineers drop opener to powerful Wolfpack 35-10 i i ^• eek redemption against Wake this weekend ,PHILMCCARN jpilechian Assistant Sports Editor •fhe Mountaineers came out firing last mnUy night, but dropped the season Bier 35-10 to North Carolina State in >nt of 41,095 at Carter Finley Stadium. NCSU dominated the Mountaineers in pmilly every statistical category and reed ASU to play catch-up for most of t evening. I'm pleased because we did exactly 14 we had to do," said Dick Sheridan, (Wolfpack head coach. " We played ill md put it out of reach early." While putting the game out of reach, 3U chalked up 415 yards in total ofuc while the Mountaineers could only mige 215. Wolfpack quarterback Terry Jordan it the Appa by hitting on 12 of his 18 u ittempts for 136 yards. Sophomore Bterback Geoff Bender finished die 3 ashe connected on three passes for 16 rdi. ASU quarterback D.J. Campbell ujjled for most of the night by com:ting only three passes for just 23 yards d one interception, but for head coach rry Moore, the review was good. "D.J. played well, " said Moore. "He 1 s good job of running our offense." The ASU running game was also gged down by a powerful Wolfpack ferae. Chip Hooks led the Apps by thing for 77 yardson eightattempts. All d, the Mountaineers oould muster only 1 yards to North Carolina State's 263. The Appalachian State defense was popped for 35 points as well as giving up 25 first downs in the contest Moore feels that his defense performed well, consid­ ering. I was a little disappointed in our de­ fense, but I also realize the explosiveness of North Carolina State," said Moore. "I wasn't disappointed in the effort on de­ fense, but in things that can be corrected from a coach's standpoint" ASU took the lead early via a 52-yard field goal by veteran placekicker Jay Millson on the first possesionof thegame. The Apps then watched as the Wolfpack scored on five of its first six offensive series. In addition to a 73-yard punt return by Ledel George, the 'Pack capped drives of 88,60 and 90 yards for touchdowns in the first half, and led atthe intermission 28-3. NCSU scored for the last time early in the third quarter on an 11 yard touchdown run by tailback Anthony Barbour. ASU's only other score came with just 3:37 remaining on a six-yard jaunt by sophomore running back Johnny Smith. Mountaineer punter Harold Alexander was kept busy on Saturday, kicking eight times for an average of 40 yards per kick. Many of Alexander's attempts came from the midfield area and backed up the Wolfpack time and again. The defeat marks NCSU's fifth in as many tries against the Mountaineers and leaves ASU winless after one contest in 1992. Some technical difficulties on the side­ lines did not help matters for the Moun­ taineers, who were without communica­ tion to the press box for almost an entire quarter. As if Moore did not have enough on his hands, the faulty equipment was somewhat of a menace. "It affects your organization," says Moore of the lack of communication. "We had quarterbacks and receivers who needed the information from our coaches, and it is hard to be organized when you are running back and forth trying to get a phone line." The Appa travel toWinston-Salem next week to tackle non-conference rival Wake Forest. Coach Moore feels more com­ fortable about that matchup after having played a football game. "You always have a better feel (of your team) after playing a game," Moore said. "We now know the things that we must improve on, and we are very busy trying to do that." Wake Forest is coming off of a loss to ACC opponent North Carolina and will be eagerly awaiting the chance to redeem itself after falling to Appalachian last year. "Wake is a very talented team with a lot of players back," said Moore of the De­ mon Deacons. " They have had a lot of misfortunes(that have led to losses) but are a very good football team. We are looking forward to our last chance to beat a division I school (this year)." Jerry Moore's Appalachian State teams are 2-1-1 against WFU. The game begins at 7 p.m. on Saturday evening at Groves Stadium in WinstonSalem. ny/jotacnian ritolo Uf ntllhJmcJttOi ASU J ALLS IN SEASON OPENER: Senior quarterback D.J.Campbell and the rest of the Mountaineers dropped a 35- lOdecisio to the North Carolina State Wolfpack at Carter Finley Stadium last Saturday.The Apps will take on rival Wake Forest on Sept. 11 Vpp State soccer drops 4-2 to nationally-ranked S.C. Gamecocks 1 WILL ROTHSCHILD ppalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State opened up its 1992 ccer season with a 4-2 loss at the hands SouthCarolina,thenation's 14thranked wn, on Sept. 6 in Columbia, S.C. Derpite the loss, Appalachian Head itch Art Rex saw some good signs from 1 *)uad, which started four freshmen •inst the Gamecocks, a team that lipped the Mountaineers 10-1 last seat. i" all,nine first-year players saw action tinst South Carolina, including Jason Bsing, who came off the bench to score a goal and add an assist to spark the Apps offensively. "This game was good experience for our entire team and it was especiallygood experience for our freshmen," Rex said. "I thought the freshmen played well and I thought we answered some questions to­ day." Topping Rex's list of questions head­ ing into this season was the Mountaineer defense, which struggled last season. Against the Gamecocks, the Mountain­ eers defense performed well, especially during a 25-minute stretch in the second half when South Carolina failed to get off a shot.

The heat and humidity in Durham were also a factor for the Lady Apps. "There was very high humidity and high tem­ peratures at Duke and wejust are not uaed to playing in those types of conditions. There is no way to prepare for it because of the weather in Boone," Burleson said. The main improvement that the squad must make to be successful this season will be in the area of man-to-man mark­ ing. According to Burleson, efficiency in this skill is the key to the game. "We are weakon our man-to-man mark­ ing and if you are off even slighdy in this skill, your opponent can get a shot off and score. It is by far the toughest defensive skill that we have to master and there are ao many things to consider when apply­ ing it. We are going to work on this continually until we get it down well," Burleson said. Overall, Burleson feels that her squad is where they should be this season. "We are coming along just aa I had expected, and we still have a lot to work on and a number of goals to set and achieve. But overall, things look fine," Burleson said. Appalachian will travel to Radford on Sept. 12 to faceOhio University in anoon contest. "The Ohio squad should be good com­ petition for us," said Burleson. Burleson also commented, "We will apply what we learned at Duke and we will be searching for our first win of the season." The Lady Apps will travel to Charlotte on Sept 13 to participate in the Deep South Clinic where they will play one squad which has not yet been named. Appalachian will return to Boone for their first home match on Sept 20 against freshmen, Kyle Slam and Ryan Ander­ son, were the mainstays in the Appala­ chian backfield, and managed to keep ASU in the game the entire afternoon. However, as good as the Mountaineer defense was, the Gamecock backfield was even better, limiting Appalachian to a mere four shots at the goal in the contest. ASU's best two scoring opportunities came in the the first half and the Apps were able to capitalize on both of them. After falling behind 2-0, Rex injected Flessing along with Peter Bondjuk and Jyri Lindeberg into the game. The fresh legs immediately paid dividends as Flassing and senior David Terry got be­ hind the South Carolina defense. Game­ cock goalie David Turner Triea to beat Flassing to the ball at the top of the box, but Flassing was able to chip the bell to Terry who finished it off for his first goal of the year Terry, an All-Southern Con­ ference pick the past two seasons, has led Appalachian in scoring the past two years. Eleven minutes later, Flassing again got free down the right side of the field, and this time took a pass from Lindeberg in the box and scored to tic the game with two minutes remaining in the half. The Gamecocks streak back, just 13 seconds into the second half, when fresh­ man Steve Pier ripped a goal into the upper left comer of the net to give South Carolina the lead for good. The Game­ cocks scored again with under four min utes left to ice the contest "I think we know after playing this tight against a good team like South Carolina that we are a capable team, we are a much improved team, and I think that we can surprise a lot of teams this year," Rex commented. "We showed the ability to come back and we showed the ability to play well against a very good team on the road." Senior goalkeeper Earl Morgan, AllSC in 1989 and 1991, saved a career-high nine shots on goal. Morgan enters this season fourth all-time at ASU in saves. South Carolina dominated the statis­ tics, getting off 23 shots to Appalachian's four and finishing with 12 comer kicks while the Mountaineers had just thra* corner kicks on the afternoon. ASU, which played at Liberty lastnight (see details in Tuesday's edition of Ths Appalachian), will next meet Radford, led by All-Am erican striker and United States Olympic team member Dante Washington this Sunday at Radfor. Ap­ palachian will not have a home match until Sept 22 against UNC-Asheville. The Apps will open Southern Conference play Sept. 25 against Davidson.

By KRISTOPHER FLOYD Appalachian Staff Writer The Lady Mountaineervolleyball squad traveled to compete in the Coastal Caro­ lina Tournament on Sept 4-5 and fin­ ished with a 3-1 record. Appalachian State started off the tour­ nament on a good note by handily defeat­ ing Campbell in three games, 15-6, 15-7 and 15-6. The Lady Apps went on to compete against Georgia Tech, falling in four matches 16-14,10-15, 5-15 and 11-15. This loss placed Appalachian in the losers bracket and they went on to play two consolation games against Florida International and Jacksonville. The Lady Apps struggled at the begin­ ning of the match against Florida Interna­ tional and fell in the first game by a score of 13-15, but fought back to win the following three games 15-2,15-9 and 157. ASU faced Jacksonville next and came out on top again as they won 15-8, 15-1 and 15-2. ASU Head Coach Dave Markland felt that this was a very successful weekend for the squad. "I felt that the team played well on a consistent basis and ourdefense improved a lot," Markland said. In addition to returning starters, Markland was impressed with the efforts of freshmen Amy Kolomechuk, Sherry Levrette, Miriam Sealy and Kathy Granck. All of these players filled jn at key times and played well. The Lady Mountaineers will begin a very tough schedule for the next two weeks. The team will befocusing on blocking and back-row defenseand Markland feels that with this progression, his offense will become stronger.

Bike racks frequently are filled to capacity, leaving lists with no option for parking other than illegally blocking fire escape ites and handicapped accesses. Vhen cyclists are forced to lock their bicycles to fire exits, the safety qf :ryone in that building is compromised. In the event of a fire, buildings need >e evacuated as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Having a bicycle in the t path is a major hindrance to building evacuation. In order to circumvent blocking fire exits, cyclists lock their bikes to the vkrnls of stairs, making the stairs either inconvenient or inaccessible to lestrians. Bicycles can certainly travel on stairs or sidewalks, butstairs and ewalks are primarily designed and allotted for pedestrian use. Pedestrians st be granted primary use of walkways and stairways, thus mandating that fcles begranted only secondary access. This secondary status requires that ft bicycles are not in use they be parked in a manner that does not disturb estrian traffic. Lack of adequate parking precludes this, his university should do everything in its power to encourage the increased ization of bicycle transportation. Bicycles provide pollution-free transporin while consuming far less parking space than the same number of mobiles. Bicycles do notrequire large parcelsof land for roadsand parking «s. Maintenance for bicycle paths and storage facilities costs far less than 'equired maintenance for the same amount of automobile roads and parking For most transportation needs, travel by bicycle exhibits a number of more rable features than travel by automobile. icycles alsoshow advantages over walking. Bicycles increase the mobility udents and faculty the same way that automobiles do. They increase speed avel considerably beyond walking speed without requiring a comparable Mse in energy expenditure by the individual bike rider. With this increased d of travel, bike riders realize an increase in the amount of distance they wver in a reasonable amount of time. This increased mobility is a major 'whence for students without easy access to automobiles. SU can not continue to ignore the pressing need for an increase in the of bicycle racks. Continued neglect of this problem will only etuate the current situation that encourages bikers to block fire exits and 5Ufages pedestrians from using sidewalks. The time for increased bicycle •ng capacity on this campus is now. * By BRIAN WINKLER Assistant Commentary Editor I have finally solved the ultimate question of whether or not there is a heaven. There is, and I have been there. One recent weekend, I decided to attend a perfor­ mance of a band in town. Preparations had to be made. * I purchased my ticket gleefully, oblivious to the great wonder awaiting my arrival. Admission to this band cost me every cent I had. You can begin to see my dilemma. Once I gained entry into this nightclub, I would have no money to buy any of the sacred Golden Beverage. I did desire the effects of a light inebriation during this band's performance. With my monetary reserves de­ pleted, therecould only be one way for me toobtain these effects. A short time before entry into this nightspot, I must cast open the door of my refrigerator and reveal the secret cache of assorted beverages that lives inside. I By MICHAEL GIRA Appalachian Columnist the reading assignments up EVERY STINKIN TIME!! must then quickly imbibe the contents of several of those containers. This I accomplished with relative ease. I arrived at the nightspot, presented my ticket, and entered through the front door. Once inside, I glanced from side to side nervously; assuring myself that none of I've been having that dream again. I'm standing on this beautiful cloud looking down at ASU. Thunder strikes, my cloud opens up, and I fall towards the Earth like rain. Time races by me at the speed of light. I am out of control. My head spina and I can no longer differenti­ ate between up and down. In an instant, time stops. With immeasurable magnitude, I crash into the Earth. Lying on my back, I look up at the roof I have fallen through. I know that I am dead, but the room seems too familiar. From out of the darkness, a ghostly woman approaches. Her skin and her clothes are a deathly shade of white. I assume this is heaven and that I am dead. But the room is still too familiar. The woman approaches me and in a toft voice she tells me to sign my name on her list and show some identification. "I'm dead,"I tell her. "I can't sign my name. I can't even move my arm." She signs my name and I.D. number for me, and then drags me down a long, dark corridor. Along the way we pass many doors, each with a different door tag; Diseases, Broken Bones, Open Wounds and then the room I go into — Dead People. I sit alone in silence for hours. Finally, a visitor arrives. This time it is a man, but again he is dressed in white. Without looking at me, he scribbles tomething on apiece of paper. He leaves. The ghostly woman returns and drags me to another room. This room is also familiar, but it is full of people. Each person has something different wrong with his body. But I am the only dead person. Each of us is given an identical brown bag. The contents, also, are iden­ tical. "What is it?", I ask the person beside me. "It's the miracle drug," the ghostly woman interrupts as she lifts my head from the floor. She gives me my dosage and continues. "ItH heal anything." Instantly, I was alive. I woke up from my dream, rolled orvar, and blew my nose. The dream had been so real. I took another dose of medicine from my cold pack. Within minutes, I fell back asleep. Violence against crops sparks retaliation By JUZAR MERCHANT Appalachian Columnist Whenever people eat bananas, com, potatoes or strawberries, it's just another meal or snack for them—but for that innocent, helpless plant, it's MURDER! Yes, this atrocity has been going on for a long time, and it's time for a change—it's time to join the PEOPLE FOR AGRI­ CULTURAL LIBERATION (PAL). PAL will protest against man's ruthless destruction of vegetation and agriculture. PAL does not think it is right to split up families of com stalks just to feed some­ one. PAL does not think it's right to raise produce just to destroy it and test on it. When you join PAL, thereare no dues— we just want your time. If you "re a person full of energy, but suffer from an identity crisis, this club is just for you. We have plenty of activities planned to help you regain your self-esteem, become vocal in issues you really donft know anything about, and to help you "find yourself." Our first activity is a field trip to Kan­ sas. Once there, we will set up a secret camp from which we will conduct a series of covert operations. Our main goal is to sabotage all the farm equipment at night and set fire to all the fields to watch all the farmers' hard work go up in smoke—we usually get a big kick out of that. Next stop:Iowa. We'll lie down in the middle of the fields to prevent the com­ bine from harvesting (more like murder­ ing) the innocent com stalks.

As I glanced around, a truly magnificent image struck my eyes. Could this be true? I wiped the tesrs from my eyes to ascertain that what I saw waa not« illusion. Yes, True Glory was being revealed to me. It comes in many forms for many people, and for me it came m the incarnation of the The Cold Patrol." There, standing before me, were two very attractive women; identically dressed, and trying to hand me a beer—for free! Was I worthy.I thought to myself? What had I done to deserve this? After a seemingly infinite moment of astonishment, reality began to aet in once again. I saw right through them. What they wanted was for me to take one of their free beers, realize that I have been drinking the wrong brand of beer all of my life, and then suddenly pump millions of dollars into their company by buying their brand of beer over their competitor's. My mind raced, for this waa a time that demanded quick thinking. Suddenly, my mind came up with a solution. My scheme; I would take their beer as long as they would give it to me. Never, though, wouldI actually purchase one of their beers. I accepted their offering. As the night progressed, I had numerous occasions to find my way back towards the bar where the Cold Patrol stood guard, anxiously awaiting me. Suddenly, out of nowhere, an attractive member of the opposite sex appears, offering you a beer precisely when you need it the moat.That person placer in your hand the coldest beer you have ever held.

But, the risk is worth the re­ ward—we can't let these plants be the victims of greed-filled capitalists. 'But wait—there's more. Now this is the fun part: You see many people wear­ ing cotton, which of course robs the plants that are destined to become something great in their life. You can protest against all the big corporatecotton exploiters like white underwear and blue jeans manufac­ turers. These companies don't care any­ thing about the plants or us—they just want to make money. In order to fight this cotton craze, we will sponsor an official "Polyester Day," on which we will lynch anyone not wearing polyester or another synthetic fabric. After reading about (or having some­ one read to you) all this neat stuff we are going to do, you must be jumping up and down hoping you can join the club. Don't worry—our requirements aren't too tough—you must only have the uncanny desire to follow all our orders, believe everything we say, and not question any of our actions. If you can do those three things, you're in. What if you have an IQ over 30? Sorry, we don't let anybody with an IQ over 30 join, because, as you can see,our club does a lot of action, a lot of talk, and no thinking.

FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 .C.'s SAT scores improve lyADAM HATCH distant News Editor predominant college entrance exam for seniors, says a report publishes by the North Carolina Department of Public In­ struction. In recent years NorthCarolinahas been [jgued by its apparently poor educadflal system; however, that system is ow showing signsof improvement in the ate's most important test, the Scholastic plitude Test or SAT. "North Carolina has broken out of the AT box with a double digit increase that uds all states where the SAT is the State Superintendent Bob Etheridge said that this year's double digit gain moves North Carolina out of the bottom tier of low-scoring states and into a situ­ ation where"we set our sights on Indiana, Texas, New York and Hawaii." Appalachian State's average of 982 entering freshmen is 127 points high than the current state average of 855. Joseph Watts, Director of Admissions, said, "The SAT coupled with high school grades is the best predictor of how well a student will perform in college. The SAT gives a measure of conformity to the different school systems in the state." Currently, NorthCarolinastands behing the national average by 44 points. North Carolina is at its highest point ever in the recorded SAT history. According to the report, "North Carolina's average on the verbal section oftheSAT was 405, up from 400 in 1991, and the math average was 450, up from 444 in 1991." An estimated 57% of North Carolina's graduating seniors took the SAT in 1992. All 24 states had over 40% participation by seniors. In September 1989, North Carolina scores dropped to 51st in the nation, be­ hind all the stales and the District of Columbia.

By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor By SUZI LANDIS [Appalachian News Editor L Hurricane Andrew hit Appalachian Slate University last week in the form of relief funds and drives. An Appalachian staff member, an ASU fraternity and a service sonority have started relief fund drives for students, staff and faculty. Carol Lawerence, the graphicdesigner in the university print shop, grew up in Florida and remembered hurricanes as a child. After watching the hurricane cov­ erage on television, Lawrence contacted the local Red Cross chapter and then offered faculty and staff the opportunity In donate to the relief fund. : "I knew people on campus or at least Cne person in each department, because I |k> printing for the departments," said Lawrence. "I asked each person to be the head of thedepartment to collect money." Lawrence's goal is to get 1,000 people jo donate at least $10. So far the dona­ tions received have been $10 or more, pecause some money is being sent to [awrence and some to the Red Cross litectly, no total figure of relief funds is mailable yet. | Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity is head^un8 a'mec* at students and See RFLIEF page 2 Compared with Georgia Georgia lurricani fe''e' 9001 See SAT page 2 hits ASU r | North Carolina SAT Scores LEASH, NO FOOD: Although Appalachian has a leash law, this four-legged friend prefers to wander as he pleases.

Long distance system gives individual service at lower cost ka LANDIS Nachian News Editor h— — Nachian State is offering a new long r06 service to on-campus residents • AT&T ACUS is a system based 'Wdual service at low rates. "-'US will put the uncertainty out of distance," said Doug Canipe, ResiFacility Director. Past, on-campus long distance required a $14.50 hook-up fee and roommates to split bills. ACUS has no sign-up and monthly service fees and offers personal security codes, individual bills and low rates. Like last year, brochures were sent to each on-campus student before school. This year, however, the brochure was sent with a ready to use personal security code and a $150 credit limit. Instead of deposits and applications, students get a ready to use long distance service with a 10 percent discount on standard AT&T rates. One of the most important features of ACUS is the individual service and bill­ ing. "It's great to know that from now on you won't be held accountable for your roommate's irresponsibility," said Scott Plaster, resident of Coffee Hall. "It's more convenient, because you get your own phone bill," added Senior John Schriner. "Also, you don't have to worry about going over your credit limit and going into debt." The $150 credit limit can be increased or decreased by the student. However, if the student exceeds the limit the service is automatically deactivated. AT&T noti­ fies each individual when the charges reach the credit limit The service will also be deactivated if a bill is not paid in full. ACUS offers a 24 hour 800-number to answer any bill questions. SAM, Student Account Manager, will give account bal­ ance information and daily usage rates before the call is made. The UNC-system bid on the long dis­ tance service this summer and was suc­ cessful. Appalachian now has a two-year contract with ACUS with an option to renew for a third year. The contract is not only less expensive for the students but also for the school. UNC-Chapel Hill, East Carolina, UNC-Wilmington and UNC-AsheviUe are using the new ACUS system. Other long distance services can be used by students if they choose. Because of the way the system is set up, other service calls such as MCI must be opera­ tor-assisted, eventually costing more. One problem has been getting stu­ dents to understand how to use the per­ sonal code. Another problem that is being worked out is the rate promise by AT&T. AT&T assured Appalachian that the rates will be the lowest of any system. As of Monday, AT&T is reviewing Southern Bell rates and will adjust any differences before bills are mailed out. Personal security codes can be used on any residence hall phone. Off-campus students are not eligible for the AT&T ACUS service. House bill cuts aid Appalachian State University Alumni Affairs and the Appalachian Suite University Foundation Inc. will soon have new offices. ASU is currently in the process of buying the land across from the campus's main entrance, where the old McDonald's used to be. McDonald's hasdonated a portion of the land to the University and the Foundation hascontracted with the McDonald's company to buy the remaining land, according to Chancellor John Thomas. The land will be used to house offices for Alumni Affairs and the ASU Foundation Inc., which are now located in Founders Hall." McDonald's has made a generous donation of close to an acre of land to the Foundation. We're delighted to have bought it. It anchors that end of campus," said Thomas. A donation from an alumni will help with renovations. WASHINGTON (CPS)—The ink had barely dried on a new bill to boost college assistance to middle-income families when lawmakers started slicing money from current funding levels, citing an unexpected budget shortfall. A leadingeducation advocatecriticized the move, so soon after Congress em­ braced an expansion of education pro­ grams in the Higher Education Act. "It is the grand irony," said Arnold Mitchem, president of the Committee for Education Funding, which represents more than 100 organizations. On July 23, President Bush signed into law the Higher Education Act, which extends the life of federal higher educa­ tion programs, including student loans, and authorizes spending of $115 billion over a five-year period. The Higher Education Act (HEA) sought to raise the maximum Pell Grant from $2,400 to $3,100 next year and per­ mit more aid to middle-income and parttime students. Every American "deserves the chance to get on the ladder of opportunity and climb up," Bush said. However, the House voted July 28 to cut the maximum Pell Grant from $2,400 to $2,300 next year and reduce funding for a wide range of politically popular higher education programs, dimming hopes for the larger increases envisioned by Congress. Lawmakers blamed the Bush adminis­ tration for the problem, saying it failed to recognize a $1.4 billion budget shortfall in the Pell program until this summer. "I can only repeat what my colleagues have said—this is the most difficult year I can remembeT," said Rep. William Natcher, D-Ky., who chairs the House's education appropriations subcommittee. Although the bill seeks to address key problems in education, health and human services, "we don't have the resources that should be invested in these areas," Natcher said. Mitchem said the gap between the HEA bill and current budget realities was strik­ ing. "Both Republicans and Democrats are quite uncomfortable with what]they've done," he said. �She Appalachian Thurtda\ ? ;ppp SAT Continued from page 1 eluding Newsweek magazine, and edito­ rial cartoonists around the nation.

In 1989 in response to this criticism recently elected State Superintendent Ethendge promised to "fix" the problem. A five-point plan was then put into effect by Superintendent Etheridge which included constructing a task force of state leaders, ensuring that more students took the PSAT (preliminary scholastic apti­ tude test,) encouraging more rigorous courses, analyzing and reporting of SAT scores and school systems and increasing flexibility while holding systems account­ able for student outcomes.

The entire culture has become mmercialized, and no one seems to find anything rong with it. To many, it's a giant game. In many Westerns iu find on television on Saturday afternoons, the *boy is the "good guy" and the Indian, or shall «y Native American (it has more dignity), is the «d guy." Why is this?

The reasons for this are very important. Next week is Founder's Week, and it is a time to think about Appalachian State and all of the people that were responsible for its establish­ ment. Dr. Blanford Barnard Dougherty, or B.B. Dougherty, will be in the spotlight, for he, along with his brother D.D. Dougherty, was one of the main forces in making ASU what it is today. The two brothers were interested in education and were both teachers, however, not in Boone. Their father asked them to come to the mountains to try and set up some sort of educational system, for there was none. The Doughertys founded Watauga Academy, as a school for all ages, not just a college. D.D. Dougherty handled the business side of the school, while his brother was the president, a teacher and the principal. When his brother died in 1929, B.B. took over, and with the help of impor­ tant friends, succeeded in making ASU the fouryear institution that it is now. In 1903, the school was obviously in need of some sort of state funding. Unfortunately, N.C. did not realize this at the time, so B.B. had to call on the help of some friends, who for their contributions, have buildings named for them on campus. Bowie, Newland, Justice, White, Hoey and Lovill are all named for men who were state senators or legislators, and helped get a bill passed for ASU to receive state support. About five or six years ago, administrators on campus wanted to do something to honor the Dougherty brothers.They called it Founder's Week, and it is tied together with activities for both students and faculty. Over the summer a statue of B.B. Dougherty was constructed, and it is in the Administration building, waiting until a suitable place is found. The activities kick off on Tuesday, Sept. 8 with a lunch in the cafeteria from noon-1 p.m. On Wednesday is the Founder's Day Picnic accompa­ nied by live music at 5 p.m. on Sanford Mall. Convocation takes place on Thursday, Sept. 10 and classes are cancelled from 8:30-12:30. The speaker is Jonathan Wiener, from the University of California, and his topic is "Multiculturalism and Political Correctness.'"

Well.notexactly. But Elvis sightings are abundant in director Andrew Bergman's new film "Honeymoon in Vegas" starring Nicolas Cage, Sarah Jessica Parker and James Caan. Jack Singer (Cage) won't make a commitment to hislong-time girlfriend Nancy Skelton (Parker). Nancy wants to get married and have kids; Jack doesn't. But before Singer loses her forever, he must take the m arital plunge. So he wisks her away to Vegas for a fairy tale wedding. Sing Elvis, sing. James Caan plays the part of Tommy Corman, a professional gambler and con-artist. He is in­ stantly taken with Jack's fiancee because of her striking resemblance to his widow. So Corman lures Jack into a high stakes poker game. Singer loses big—goes deep into debt, and he's still not married. Cue Elvis. Tommy agrees to clear Jack's gambling debt in exchange for a weekend with Nancy athis home on Kauai. For Jack's sake, Nancy reluctantly agrees. So the princess flies away with the serpent, while the sheep sulks. You've gotta be kidding! Where's Elvis? Once Singer decides that he truly loves his maiden in distress, he goes th save her.

The Lady Mountaineer volleyball squad has won one match in as many triesas they defeated the University of North Carolina at Asheville last night 15-11, 10-15, 1015, 15-10 and 15-2. ASU survived a two games to one Lady Bulldog advantage before coming back to win the match in the fifth and deciding game. "I am proud of the way our girls hung tough,"said first-year Head Coach Dave Markland, who is now 1-0 at ASU. "It would have been very easy for us to give in." Senior outside hitter Kim Nelson led the way for the Mountaineers with 22 kills, followed by Racheal Wade with 16. Markland cites theeffort of his group as a whole instead of focusing on one or two players. "It would be hard to single out one player,"said Markland. "I am proud of all our players. That is why they call it a team sport." The Mountaineers jumped on top in the first game by scoring five straight points after a UNC-A time out, making the score 14 4 ASU. Asheville fought back with a fivepoint rally of their own and survived four game points before the Apps took the game on a mis-handled pass by the Bull­ dogs. The two teams traded rallies again in the second game when the Mountaineers saw a 7-0 lead disappear as the Bulldogs scored seven straight to knot the score. UNC-A went on to take the second and third games for a 2-1 lead going into the fourth game. Game four saw several lead changes before the Mountaineers took a 15-10 decision behind the aggressive hitting of Racheal Wade and Michelle Wright "Racheal had a very consistent match," said Markland."1 did not substi­ tute for her and she hung tough although I know she was exhausted." "Michelle had an up and down match, which is normal for outside hitlers," Markland said. The fifth and deciding match was domi­ nated by ASU, who ran out to a 7-0 lead again, before winning the game 15-2.

Clubs promote stu­ dent participation in a variety of physical and athletic activities and provide alter­ natives for student competition. There are a total of fourteen club sports offered at ASU including football, rugby. women's soccer, men's soccer, lacrosse, judo, rifle, snow skiing, swimming, ulti­ mate ffisbee, women's volleyball, men's volleyball, fencing and water skiing. To join a particular club, all that one needs to do is contact one of the club officers. Each club is always looking for new mem­ bers to join its team. Activities in club sports range from learning basic skills to intercollegiate state,regional andnational competition. "Club sports are special interest groups of students who compete at the intercolle­ giate level but not under the varsity area. It is a more competitive side than intramurals is and is open to anyone," Director of Recreational Sports Dr. Tim Avant said. According to Avant, whose office "helps the clubs facilitate and if the inter­ est is there, reach whatever level tfiey desire," approximately 300 students par­ ticipate in club sports at ASU. Club Football club sports at ASU. The squad has captured the state title foT the past four years and expects to repeat as champions again this year, according to club president Eric Magnum. "Our defense should be strong once again and we have some new guys on offense who are also looking pretty good. We lost some key players to gradu­ ation, but we will rebuild the team and should repeat as state champions," Mag­ num said. The squad is returning a num­ ber of starters from last season including According to Avant, club football is the most dominant and one of the oldest See FOURTEEN page 8 To get to North Carolina State Volleyball from ASU: e 421 South to Winston-Salem Vinston-Salem, get onto 1-40 East i on 1-40 until you get to the le Ave. Exit e the Wade Ave. Exit e the first exit after this, rter -Finley Stadium Exit re will be signs leading all the way he stadium koff is slated for 7 p.m. at Coastal Carolina Tournament: Sept. 4 and 5 Football at North Carolina State: Sept. 5, 7pm a.a. ^*0 Soccer at the University of South Carolina: Sept. 7, 5pm at Liberty: Sept. 9,4pm Field Hockey at Duke: Sept. 7, 4pm © �the Appalachian.

The squad finished 10-1 last season losing to NCSU 12-0 before going on to defeat them later in the regu­ lar season at 21-0 and in the championship game 19-15. Magnum believes that NCSU and UNC-Chapel Hill will be the clubs that give the squad the most com­ petition. Also on the schedule this sea­ son is a semi-pro team, the Catawba Hornets. Defeated by the club two sea­ sons ago, this team is regarded as the top semi-pro team in the state and could also present a challenge for ASU. TheMountaineers will open the season on Sept. 13 as they host UNC-CH in a 1 p.m. contest at Kidd-Brewer Stadium. Anyone inter­ ested in competing with the club football team may contact Magnum at 264-2182. Club Rugby Rugby is another one of the oldest club sports at ASU, according to Avant. The squad finished third in the state last sea­ son and returns this season losing only two players from the squad. President Kerry Putnam believes the squad should be strong. "I feel that we have a good chance to win the states. We have a lot of returning players this year." Strong play­ ers for the club this season will include seniors Putnam and Glenn Crol and sophomores Scott Lyda and ChrisCuddy. Putnam expects for the clubs from Guilford, UNC-Charlotte and UNCChapel Hill to be the strongest in the rugby union this season. The squad will open play on Sept. 5 as they travel to North Carolina State, they will hold their first home match on Sept.12 as they host Davidson in a 2 p.m. contest at State Farm Field. Anyone interested in be­ coming involved with the rugby club should contact Putnam at 264-4855. Women's Club Soccer The women's soccer program is also a veteran club at ASU. Finishing the sea­ son at 9-3-1 last year, the squad also captured the Southern Women's Soccer Association championships and went undefeatedinconferenceplay. Thesquad will be led by last season's all-toumament selection junior Erica Freas. Freas, who plays atwing and as astriker, will be joined by sophomores Amy Hart and Leigh Anne Dickens who should also both be factors in the performance of the club. "We lost a couple of strong players but we have gained a lot as well. I am excited about the season and I think that we will do well," vice-president Laura Goodwin said. The women's soccer team will open the season as they travel to St. Andrew's College on Sept. 5 and will hold their first home match on Sept. 26 hosting Wake Forest in a 2 pm match at State Farm Field. Anyone interested in joining the club should contact president Natalie Troutman at 265-2775.

Accord­ ing to president Mick McGuire, the squad will feature a number of freshmen and will face the strongest competition from Wake Forest, the University of Georgia, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina State.

The squad will be led by sopho­ mores Tate Humphries and Jonathan Bagley and senior Mike Pracher. Both Bagley and Pracher are ranked nationally at 110 and 131 respectively. The squad competes against other clubs from throughout the Mid-Atlantic Conference which ranges from Massachusettes to South Carolina."We finished 26th in the nationa last year and 15th in the nation in ROTC competition and we believe that we will be real strong this year," president Pracher said.

Students, faculty, staff and Boone residents should take advantage of very opportunity to protest this violence and heighten our awareness of 'iolence. The annual Awareness Walk is such an opportunity. Last year over 800 people gathered outside the B.B. Dougherty Administraion Building to participate in the secondannual Awareness Walk. Thepurpose )f the walk is to bring the community together in awareness of violent acts xxurring around campus and in the community. In 1989 a university news bureau employee named Jeni Gray was kidnapped tnd murdered while walking on the Appalachian State campus and the surrounding area. The news of this murder came as a shock to residents. Since her murder, a day has been set aside each year in remembrance of her and to warn others about the possibility of violent crime in Boone. The thTrd Awareness Walk will begin on Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 9 p.m. With flashlight in hand, walkers will again meet at the B.B. Dougherty Administra­ tion Building to begin the walk. The walk will continue across King Street to the Lois Harrill Senior Center in downtown Boone where a candle-lighting leremony will take place and campus officials will speak to the group. Violent crime has become a problem on college campuses across the nation. Most sexual victimization, however, goes unreported leaving others unaware 3f possible dangers. Statistics show that 52 percent of 7,000 women surveyed on 35 college ampuses have experienced some form of sexual victimization. More than 90 percent of these women did not report the incident to police. More than a third rf them did not even discuss the experience with anyone. A survey showed that one out of 12 male students had committed acts that meet the legal definition of rape or attempted rape, according to the most conservative prevailing legal definition. Virtually none of these men identified fiemselves as rapists. Studies also found that one of every seven to nine young men is assaulted before the age of 18. If current trends continue, the men's ratio is expected to reach the same ratio as the women's. Students, faculty, staff and Boone residents should attend the walk for iwareness in protest of violent acts and in remembrance of Gray. If people are iware that they can be the victim of a violent crime in small towns like Boone, they will be more safety-conscious and provide fewer opportunities for these rhmes to be committed. "This (walk) is a statementagainst all acts of violence,' said Chancellor John fhomas on last year's walk. People should send out a clear message to the community again this year that they protest violence by participating in the Awareness Walk. By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor When most of us were children we were introduced to The Three Little Pigs, a story about a few young fellows who were eager to make a place for them­ selves in the world. Two of them learned the hard way that a stable position in life requires time and effort. The third, however, carefully built his home and while his brothers were getting their curly tails blown away by the big bad wolf, he was able to remain with confidence in his own place. Now, if the three pigs had been building opinions, the results would have been the same. Let's say, for instance, an election was an upcoming topic of interest in the land of the little pigs. The first two quickly But I might need some suggestions on the french toast thing. Vm still confused By MICHAEL GIRA Appalachian Columnist Two years of college passed and it became all too clear—I had outgrown the dormitory both mentally and physically. My sophomore year was over and there was no going back. Inow live off campus. Am I happy with my decision? Beyond comprehension. It isn't having your own room for 150 dollars a month. It's not getting parking without ASU robbing you of 70 dollars. It's not even (my personal favorite) com­ ing into your own house without showing an I.D. The best kept secret of living off campus is the kitchen. The kitchen? Webster's Dictionary defines"kitchen" as a "place with cooking facilities." (If I've lostyou already, switch over to sports NOW.) But, is your kitchen a facility or just a room with a refrigerator? If the second response applies to you, stick with me. I admit. I have no idea how many of you, if any, have had any cooking experi­ ence. But like all good professors I am going to assume it has been very little. Sure, I have an unfair advantage. My roommate can really cook. He also hap­ pens to be theonly man in college with his own Crockpot. Here's your first lesson, four reasons why YOU should cook and appropriate scenarios for each. 1) Breaking the Monotony It's all too frequent, college students lost in their kitchens. Twenty-year-olds wander around aimlessly for hours after having considered making french toast. Your mom used to make itevery Saturday moming. You were sick of french toast at the time, but now you've got that craving. You'll do anything for french toast — even make it yourself if you have to. There's only one problem. You can't remember how she made it But you try it anyway. You get out some bread, some eggs and some syrup. You get confused; put away the bread, the eggs and the syrup. You stick with tradition. You eat Captain Crunch. 2) Saving Money The Peddler Steak House and college students definitely do not belong in the same town. High class dinners and ro­ mance, however, are a perfect combina­ tion. There may well be no woman alive who can not and would not appreciate a candlelight dinner. Obviously, the missing factor in this equation of romance iscash. Does it have to be this way? No. Venture into your kitchen, young man. Reap its benefits. Hear its answers. The kitchen gods will show you the way. The kitchen gods spoke to me. SIMPLE LIE TO MAKE LIFE |Appalachian Assistant Commentary Editor Periodicals from the New York Times and USA Today to the Raleigh News and Observer are also available at the Reserved Reading desk. Students can choose from a list of forty-five newspapers. CNN comes in loud and clear, thanks to High Country Cable, for all students who take the initiative to turn it on. And of course there are the local newscasts on network television. Now is the time to start building strong opinions on not only the election, but on other national and local issues. Those who feel the effort is loo much are just plain lazy. Those who think they can get enough information by word of mouth to form a concrete position will fall short of the truth every time. You can only ride on the bandwagon for so long until the flashy colored streamers fade and the voices blend into confusion. Sooner or later someone will ask you "Why?"; what reasons do you have to back up your opinions? Then you've got a choice to make. You can scurry away in humiliated frustration and hide behind the strength of another, or you can admit that your knowledge on the subject is insufficient and start gathering the information you need to strengthen your own convictions. Educated independence of thought and peace of mind are well worth the time and effort it takes to build a deep, founded opinion. If we'll all follow the example of the third little pig, the fear of "Why?" will no longer haunt us and we can park the bandwagon in the back yard for good. Look Mom, I can make dinner for two now IT Ml SrARTcD WITH A Edited by BRIAN WINKLER jumped on the bandwagon; one taking mom and dad's position because they always seemed to know best, and one siding with those whose voices were the loudest. Both believing they'd made the right choice, they rested easy in contented ignorance. In the meantime their brother worked diligently to form his own opinion. He listened both ways, read related materials, and asked a lot of questions. Slowly he built a foundation of knowledge strong enough to withstand criticism from those less informed. Above all he was capable of offering a sincere explanation for his beliefs when asked the dreaded question "Why?". His brothers floated along with their chosen leaders and talked boldly and frequently of their shallow convictions. Then suddenly the dreaded question,"Why?" reared its curious head, and the two pigs were blown clear off the bandwagon — left alone to ponder their reasons for believing. This insignificant analogy is an example of a reccurring process among folks like us. All too often the abrasive voices of the uninformed are heard above the confident silence of truth. For truth quietly rests in a number of places, scattered about like a puzzle for skillful opinion builders to put together. Take Belk Library, for example. Not one of us has an excuse for ignorance with such a collection of current information on hand. There are hundreds of magazines, all recent issues, including Newsweek, Time, U.S. News and World Report, and various special interest volumes. EASIER "Go to Lowe's Food," they said in thunderous voices. "When you reach your destination, travel to the end of the meal isle. Atthispoint you will seebefore you,pi sign which readeth "REDUCED MEATS."' I stood in awe trembling as the voices continued. "Before you will sit a mountain of affordable meats. Claw your way through the pile. Find something appetizing, pick it up and be on your way. Beware. You may have to fight th. '•*». toothless one. She will also want your mu Then find the Better Value green beans ($33) and a pack of dinner rolls (2 for a dollar)." After the kitchen godsdisappeared back into my kitchen cabinets, I did as they had asked, fought the toothless one, and at a cost of less than ten dollars, I cooked my date and myself a steak dinner complete with green beans, rolls and two baked potatoes. Someone was romanced that evening. You can bet on that. If you're really interested in the price factor, do your own comparative cost analysis. Compare how much it costs you to make french toast and how much french toast costs in the cafeteria or in a restau­ rant Compare your homemade salsa with the grocery store's processed salsa. Compare the quantity, the quality and the price. 3) Cooking can be a lot of Fun Be creative. Not everything requires a recipe. Fridays are Mexican Night at my place, margarita night to be exact I sit at the table with this «>«nt sombrero on my head. The one I bought five years ago at South of the Border, South Carolina's attempt at a Chinatown for Mexicans, basically a tourist trap. Anyway, I do my best Cheech and Chong impersonations and make salsa. The recipe, which I made myself, is very simple. I dice up one green pepper, one red pepper, four jalapenos, and a sweet onion. Then I take one can of whole tomatoes, one can of tomato sauce, and one can of tomato paste and dump it all in a big pot. When it starts to boil I add the vegetables, stir, and then let it simmer until it looks like salsa. The longer you cook it the thicker it will become. It's that simple. 4) Cooking is Easy If you can read you can cook. Many of the foods you imagine as being to difficult and time consuming to prepare are short and sweet. Cookies, pasta, chicken, stew and even salsa are all very simple. My suggestion is to first buy some type of cookbook. Don't buy some off-the-wall Ethiopian cookbook, at least not yet Just get yourself one of those historically re­ nowned Betty Crocker cookbooks. It will explain some of the kitchen lingo and give you some recipes to experiment with. I (AND LIED J OME MORE V\ FTHEN 1 LIE* TO O H O ) (JOR THAT LIE J|\ COVER THOSE LIES J i/hen I was a freshman.

It also states that ASU has the second highest gradua­ tion rate in the system. This rate includes athletes, who graduate almost identically to the overall rate of graduation at Appa­ lachian. The average SAT score has increased over the past eight years by 90 points, to now just under 1000, according to the report. Appalachian is third in the system (af­ ter North Carolina State Universtiy and The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) in the percentage of faculty members with doctorate or professional degrees. NCSU and UNC-Ch, along with Appa­ lachian, receive the most in-state applica­ tions from North Carolina residents. The report indicates that dollars spent for education at ASU ($20,776 per stu­ dent) are used efficiently becausethe state can spend less money per student and still have a high graduation rate. This report also points out some of Appalachian's weaknesses.

Second, the foreign student enrollment is "among the lower percentages in the UNC system, but is comparable to that of other comprehensive institutions in the system," according to the report.

Gurley also helped plan the visit of Lieutenant Gov. Gardner last semester. ASU's vice president is Douglas Duncan. He is from Charlotte and is a business management major and a politi­ cal science minor. Duncan has been a senator from Coffey Hall and sat on the Student Affairs Committee. Duncan was instrumental in the instal­ lation of thespeed bumpson LocustStreet. Duncan also brought about the pizza de- Doug Duncan livery service on campus from Trivette Hall. Gurley and Duncan have said that one of their priorities is to establish a "Dead Week." This is simply to allow for one week at the end of each semester to be free from all tests, quizzes and papers, therefore allowing students time to pre­ pare for their finals. Another of their priorities will be to broaden the appeal of SGA to more areas of students. "We would perhaps want to increase appeal to off-campus students more," said Gurley. As stated in their platform, Gurley and Duncan will try to require student repre­ sentation on all faculty and administra­ tive searchcommittees,support construc­ tion of Greek-funded Greek housing, and increase minority student, faculty and ad­ ministrative recruitment. Other issues in­ clude establishing a standing university committee to address environmental is­ sues, support modernization and expan­ sion of the university recycling program, and support placement of additional bike racks around campus. Gurley and Duncan also actively hope that there will be a strong effort to get into the highly sough: positions of Hall Sena­ tors. Two senators are elected from each hall and lliey are to represent the entire hall on issues that are brought up in RSA. If anyone wishes to run for a senate seat, you can pick up nomination forms at the SGA wing of Workman Hall outside room21A. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 3. Students will vote on Sept. 8 and 9 for their representatives. "We are looking forquality people who will repre­ sent their halls well in SGA and are going to stick with it," said Duncan. Smoking now regulated in Wey Hall By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer Students who want to have a quick cigarette before class have some new rules to follow if that class is in Wey Hall. Over the summer, the Arts and Com­ munications faculty, who occupy Wey Hall, voted in favor of and implemented a no-smoking policy for the building. Although smoking is allowed in some stairwells and the entrance ways, the hall­ ways andclassrooms are smoke-free. Fac­ ulty are permitted to smoke in their own offices. So far there have been no complaints about the policy. "I feel that the faculty does have a right to pass a no-smoking rule, since they are the ones who have to teach in the building all day long. They did reach a compro­ mise as we are still allowed to smoke in the stairway and entrances," said smoker Karmen Jenkin, who has several classes in Wey Hall. Dr. Ming Land, dean of fine and ap­ plied arts said there had been complaints about the smoke last year. "The smoke from the hallways would spread into the classrooms. Both students and faculty complained about the second­ hand smoke," said Land. Land said that over the summer the faculty of Wey Hall decided that a smoking policy for the building was needed. "We voted tokeep the hallwayssmokefree, but still preserved thesmokers' rights by allowing smoking areas in the en- trance ways and the southwest stairwell," said Land. Land said that both students and fac­ ulty have been very cooperative with the new policy, some choosing to leave the building to smoke. Appalachian officials have felt some pressure to make a clear policy to protect the health of both smokers andnon-smok­ ers. In November of 1991, the Faculty Sen­ ate made a recommendation to Chancel­ lor John Thomas to adopt a smoke-free policy in all academic areas and build­ ings. Currently the university has no cam­ pus-wide policy banning smoking. In 1986 theSurgeon General report on See SMOKING page 2 The Selby Jones Student Activity Cener is going back to the drawing board iccording to Chancellor John Thomas, [he $24 million SAC which was pulled rom the UNC-system bond referendum, s a project still needed, said Thomas. Thomas will be asking for a $1 million idv ancement to consider new plans for he Student ActivityCenter when the state egislature meets in January. The $1 milion is part of a package the administraionisoffering for approval inplaceof the iriginal SAC. Included in the replacement is close to $26 million for Phase 1 of a math/science complex and $4.2 million additionto Belk Library. The request, though, has not yet gone through the process for consideration by the legislature. The chancellor has asked for a special consideration by the state for the proposal. Appalachian is eligible for 10 percent of the $300 million bond referendum, because Appalachian has approximately 10 percent of the UNC-system popula­ tion. A $8.5 million academic support build­ ing is already on the referendum, but the SAC has left a $24 million void. The proposal for the replacements is not offi­ cial yet. "I feel confident the Student Activity Center will be built," said Thomas. "It's my honest opinion that the SAC will not be built," said Dr. Harvard Ayers, an anthropology professor. Dr. Ayers has opposed the SAC since it became a proposal. "Academic priorities sunk the SAC," explained Ayers. "This [SAC] is a bad idea right now." In a time of budget cmnches, Ayers feels a math/science complex is the top priority. The administration's request for $1 million planning money will be used to take a fresh look at the Student Activity Center, according to Chancellor Thomas. Thomas did not specify any areas of con­ sideration, just to look at the needs of the students. Thomas and the administration feel the space a SAC would give is needed. "We had 2,000 freshmen this fall," said Tho­ mas. "But Farthing only holds 1800 people." Farthing Auditorium is often the site for freshmen orientation-related meetings. The plans andpreparations for the origi­ nal SAC has cost $13 million. Money collected from student fees specifically for the SAC will not be held to be used for a future SAC. Collected student fees will be transferred to the student union upon approval by the slate, said Thomas. The SAC has come down to two issues: money and priorities. The administration has given the SAC toppriority in the past, while critics such as Ayers, Coalition for Academics, and Faculty Senate want to see academic buildings as priority. The budget crunch and state economy have helped opposing groups. With a limited state budget and the possibility of a bond referendum, academics became a prior­ ity. The SAC is not sunk. The chancellor and administration are still committed to a Student Activities Center. Opposing groups are also still committed to stop­ ping the SAC or a new form of the SAC. "We plan on continuing to address the issue," said Hunter Schoffield, member of Coalition for Academics, and Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment^ AVE). ASU Crime Report By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor A change in the Buckley Amendment has made campus crime reports available to the public. The Buckley Amendment, officially titled the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, classi­ fied law enforcement records at educa­ tional agencies or institutions as educa­ tion records. As of July 23, 1992 law enforcement records are not considered education records. The Appalachian will have a weekly campus crime report highlighting inci­ dences and occurrences affecting the stu­ dent body. The Appalachian hopes to provide a safety awareness by printing campus crime information. On August 18 at 2:16pm, there was a call concerning the possible injury of a construction worker at the student union.

At 10.50pm, the RA on duty in Lovill called to say white male has been sitting in the main lobby for a week. He makes comments to residents when they pass. On August 20 at 6:37pm, the RD in Coltrane said she saw a male fitting the description of the prowler last night by Newland and between Eggers and Bowie.

There is no reason to ^ a^°ut During Women's Equality Week, activities such as a lecture and ballet took place "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." On August 26, 1920, women around the country celebrated be­ cause this one sentence was added to the Constitu­ tion as the 19th Amendment. This phrase repre­ sented the equality that women had been trying to achieve in the United States for many years. Women's Equality Celebration, which was held August 24 through August 29, was inspired by this landmark event in the fight for women's rights. The celebration served as a reminder of how far women have come on their journey to equality. The celebration, organized by Melissa Barth of the Women's Studies and Concerns Office, con­ sisted of a variety of activities and programs. Women's Equality Week began on Aug. 24 with the slide-illustrated lecture"Women/Finland" in room 03 Edwin Duncan Hall. Dr. Maggie McFadden, who spent a year researching women and politics in Finland, presented the program. A creative evening full of music took place on Aug. 25 in Edwin Duncan. Female writers were honored at a read-in, which took place at Melanie's Food Fantasy on Aug. 26. Performance artists Mary Anne M aier and Chris Doerflinger conducted a workshop, "Woman's Body: Drawing Down the Moon," to close the week's events. The artists also performed a ballet the evening of Aug. 29, entitled "Moon Belly Ballet." Although the issues discussed are known as women's issues, men were by no means excluded from the programs. "They [the programs Monday and Tuesday] were both full houses...we were packed with both men and women," said Barth. Last week was the first time that ASU and the Women's Studies and Concerns Office have ever held a Women's Equality Celebration, but the office has always been a very active body on campus. They sponsor the Campus Women's Collective, a student group that meets to discuss women's issues and political issues that are impor­ tant in their lives. The office coordinates activities with Residence Life and takes their ideas to the residence halls. To further serve the community, they also offer refer­ rals to counseling services for women who have suffered date rape or other forms of abuse. Barth hopes that this celebration will make more people aware of the Office of Women's Studies and Concerns and of its goal, which she defines as "helping the general population of Appalachian Stale University and Boone to understand, leant about, and be more aware of the concerns and needs of the female population of Appalachian." ASU gets Alpine Tower Outdoor Programs obtains frightening challenge By ELIZABETH WEST Appalachian Staff Writer While being safely nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, ASU has quite an illustri­ ous outdoor organization. There is much to be said for the training of outdoor leaders at ASU, both through Outdoor Programs as well as through the Leisure Studies Department. For several years, ASU has been recognized with having an outstand­ ing record in both safety as well as fun, innovative trips through Outdoor Programs. Outdoor Programs has utilized the Ashe County ropes course facility for some time but has recently been granted the "Alpine Tower." The Alpine Tower is a modified version of a ropes course with much the same intents and goals of a ropes course experience. The tower was originally designed in 1987 by Mike Fischesser, an eighteen-year veteran of the North Carolina Outward Bound School. Fischesser's intent was that the tower, being built on poles, would have less of an environmental impact than a ropes course which is generally built using trees. The tower is a fifty-foot structure constructed with three utility poles shaped into an hourglass form. The tower uses climbing holds, ladders in a variety of sizes, beams suspended throughout the tower, cargo nets, as well as a Appalachian File Hhoto EXPERIENCE ADVENTURE: The Alpine Tower is the newest asset to Outdoor Programs. The rope variety of other tools for making an ascent. course isknown for its safe and fun structure and isuseful for group building activities. Outdoor Programs There is much to be said of the value of a ropes has been using the facility but only recently has obtained full usage. course or tower experience. A tower experience provides several distinct program opportunities. It can be used for individual as well as group experi­ ences presenting some of the similar challenges of rock climbing and ropes course activities. An Alpine Tower experience isa fantastic meta­ phor for discussing lessons learned, such as trust, communication and teamwork. While attempting to climb the tower, individuals have the chance to do their personal best. There are opportunities for group development: gaining a respect for others, encouraging people to try their best, encouraging adventure and challenging personal limits. The ASU tower is available for any campus organization or conference held on campus, the Physical Education and Leisure Studies depart­ ments, as well as any other university users who have contracted an outing with Joe Quinn, the director of Outdoor Programs. This is not a riskfree activity and unless a trip has been cleared through Quinn, university "no trespassing" rules apply to the tower. The staff who work the tower programs have been specifically trained for work­ ing this and other group interaction course activi­ ties through Outdoor Programs. As of yet the tower has been used by a numberof campus wide groups such as the Black Student Association, APPS Council Leaders and the SGA cabinet It seems to be in high demand with other organizations as the fall trip calendar continues to fill up. Anyone interested in getting a group in­ volved in a 'Tower Experience"should feel free to stop by Outdoor Programs for more specific infor­ mation and its availability. Lollapalooza '92 entertains thousands of fans Varied performers openly expressed talents and views in world-wide summer appearances By KATE HESS Appalachian Et Cetera Editor A day full of music, people, and political and craft booths appeals to a great many college stu­ dents, especially when that day is part of the wellknown tour labeled Lollapalooza '92. Lollapalooza is a name that has no real defini­ tion, yet describes so much that takes placethrough­ out the tour. It is a festival that is currently touring the U.S. with seven alternative/progressive bands, the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow, and many other exciting attractions. With recent stops in Charlotte and Raleigh, some students from ASU took advan­ tage of the close proximity and made the trip to join the fun. The tour began in California on July 18, and will travel through 27 cities before it closes in Septem­ ber. Popular bands such as Pearl Jam, Lush, Jesus and Mary Chain, Soundgarden, Ice Cube, Ministry and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the main attrac­ tions; however, local bands will entertain as well. These seven headlining bands are all fairly wellknown. Two stages are featured at the show, one where the main acts will perform while facing ahuge lawn full of diverse people. The other stage. Stage 2000, is slightly smaller, and will feature the Jim Rose Circus Sideshow and various local bands. The Sideshow is a sort of freak/horror show, and is not recommended for people with weak stomachs. Jim Rose himself will put his face and body on broken glass, while one of his assistants steps on the back of his head. Rose also swallows razors attached to string, and then retrieves the string. Also appearing in this unique display are some odd, yet interesting people in order to entertain the audience between acts on the main stage. The Torture King is one of the most popular, for he inflicts pain on himself with various skewers, then later electrocutes himself. In an interview with Spin magazine. Rose said, "People enjoy having their ears blown out at rock concerts. It's my job to make sure we blow your eyes out." Most people at the show would agree that Rose accomplishes his goal. Lollapalooza '92 was organized by Perry Farrell, who performed in the tour last year with his former band, Jane's Addiction. Since the breakup of the band, FarTell has spent his time organizing the allday affair that involves everything from music to sword swallowers. On the way to their seats, ticket holders will be led astray by the sights, sounds and smells of Concourse Oddities and Curiosities, thename used to describe the area full of crafts, food and art that hits people immediately as they enter into the concert arena. Prices of the various items for sale at the festival are rather steep-the cheapest T-shirt is $23-but the idea of this original event is so enticing that people are all too willing to shell out the extra dollars in order to remember the day. This year's Lollapalooza is filled with booths about all issues ranging from abortion rights to Amnesty International. Interspersed throughout the area will be catering facilities with cuisines from Jamaica, Africa and Greece, and of course the ail-American favorite, hotdogs and beer. The show begins at 2 p.m. with Lush performing on the main stage. The masses of people are over­ whelming, and one could easily get lost in the excitement. After Lush, the other six headlining bands per­ form, with breaks between each in order to change the set The show comes to a close around 11p.m., after the popular Red Hot Chili Peppers perform. The two N.C. shows in Raleigh and Charlotte were both a success. The Raleigh show was rather muddy, foT it had rained the night before. Mud slides were a main attraction there.

Many of them show herself, her son and her daughter. Her themes range from gender identifi­ cation, separation and loss of innocence, to fear of destruction. One photograph that stands out is of a storybook open to the tale of Hansel and Gretel. In front of the book is a pile of individually wrapped peppermint candies. While in the story the old witch tempts the children with candy. Nettles also tempts the ob­ server to climb inside the picture and experience childhood once again. The theme of destruction and loss of innocence is apparent. If you go with the witch you will be destroyed, just as you will be if you try to resist growing up. Another of Nettles pieces that makes a statement is of fingerprints. Her childlike images continue with the depiction of fingerpainted pictures by children, and then the loss of innocence when she shows fingerprints of adults who have committed a crime. A photographof her son and daughter dressed up for Halloween depicts the influence television has had on our culture. Her son has chosen to be GJ. Joe and her daughter decided upon Rainbow Brite. Whatever happened to old-fashioned witches and vampires? Nettles, who has been exhibiting and publishing her works since 1970, is also featured in a continu­ ally running video on the top floor of the gallery. Not only can you view her work, but you can also hear and see the artist talk about her work and inspirations. Nettles hasreceived many awards including two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. In addition she chairs the University of Illinois at Champaign's photography program. She also lec­ tures across the United Slates and gives work­ shops, and still finds time to be an artist-in-residence at the Penland School of Arts and Crafts.

Sports Editor __ McCARN ppalachian Assistant Sports Editor Facts and figures to be aware of as the outliem Conferenceopens the 1992 footseason. MARSHALL UNIVERSITY lirshall Thundering Herd 0 Donnan (third year) »1: 114-0 (5-2 in SC) 991 vs. ASU: 9-3 (ASU) Ranked first in most pre season 1 -AA oils, the Thundering Herd appear to be the squad in the conference to beat. In addition to advancing to the 1 -AA cham­ pionships last season before falling 25-17 at the hands of Youngstown State, the Herd just fell short of defeating Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse North Carolina State, 15-14. They are the pick to win everything (the Southern Conference title and the 1-AA championship). They are very tough to slow down, but hopefully we will be able todoiC'Mooresaid. The Herd will be led by 1991 Southern Conference player-ofthe-year Michael Payton. Playing at quar­ terback, Payton totaled 3,392 yards pass­ ing for 26 touchdowns and completed 222 of 346 passes for a school and SC record as he achieved a 64.2 percent accu­ racy rate. 1991 all-league wide receiver Brian Dowler will also be a strong leader for Marshall as he led the SC in receiving with 1197 yards. Furman Paladins Head Coach: Jimmy Satterfield (seventh year) 1991: 74-0 (4-3 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 26-23 (ASU in 3 OT) Senior co-captain Carl Tremble, an AllAm erican candidate, led the squad in rush­ ing with 927 yards fori 1 touchdowns last season. A tailback, he is the tenth best rusher in Southern Conference history and is ninth on the conference scoring charts. Senior Kola Suttle, the Paladins other co-captain, is considered their top defensive player. A linebacker, he led the Paladins in tackles with 143, making him the leading tackier in the conference. An All-Southern Conference performer, he should contend for defensive player-ofthe-year. Senior defensive back, Jason Grant, an SAU-SC selection who is per­ haps Furman's finest defensive back and junior quarterback Hugh Swilling who totaled 1422yards in passing for 14 touch­ downs last season should also be factors in the performanceof the Paladins. "They have a rich tradition and stick to the old stuff. Furman has a very fine program," Moore said. ^ The Citadel Bulldogs Head Coach: Charlie Taafee (sixth year) 1991: 74-0 (5-2 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 17-10 (OT) The Bulldogs were the only team in the conference to defeat the Mountaineers last season as they pulled out a 17-10 victory in Charleston. Returning will be All-American candidate Jack Douglas who led the squad in rushing with 1152 yards, in passing with 795 yards, and in scoring with 13touchdowns. Senior quar­ terback Douglas is the all-time leading rushing quarterback in 1-AA history with 2748 regular season yards and has rushed for a 1 - AA quarterback single game sea­ son record of 1152 yards. Ail-American candidate seniors Lester Smith and Carey Cash will also be dominant for The Cita­ del. Smith, a free safety, led in tackles last season with 132 while Cash, an offensive tackle, is quite a dominating offensive lineman. "Jack Douglas is one of the top players in die Southern Conference and will be strong," Moore said. Tennessee-Chattanooga Moccasins Head Coach: Buddy Nix (ninth year) 1991: 74-0 (4-3 in SC) 1991 vs. ASU: 42-7 (ASU) Considered by Moore to be one of the best in the league, 'Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga is well coached and are one of the most physical football teams in die con­ ference." The Moccasins will be led by sophomore quarterback Kenyon Earl who led them in total offense with 1938 yards and in passing with 1643 yards. Junior defensive back Monte Lovelace will also See FOOTBALLpage 8 ntramurals held in Broome Kirk Gym offers many events I yLYDIA CRAVER ippalachian Sports Editor Intramural athletics is a division of xreational sports at ASU that is de­ igned to provide an opportunity for iendly competition in individual, duals, o recreational and team sports. "We strive to help students, faculty and taff develop their physical, emotional nd social aspects by providing a variety f leisure time action. Through this we Mope they will develop patterns of well leing, such as physical fitness or just Jetting their mind offof things,"Intramu'll Coordinator Jim Eubanks said. According to Eubanks, the majority of re students who partake in intramural cl/viiy do soin order to meet friends, get w way froni their studies and to relax. In te 1991-92 academic year, 9,699 of SU s 11,500 students participated in tlramural sports. The largest fall activity intramurals is flag football which derated 110 teams and 1,390 particianlslastyear. Thelargestspring activity team basketball which totalled 86 teams with 1,489 participants last tar. * The Office of Intramural Sports de­ clares an All-University Points Cham­ pion each year in men's, women's and, beginning this year, in co-recreational sports. These winners are determined by the amount of points they earn by partici­ pating and excelling in the various ath­ letic contests intramurals offers. For the 1991-92 year, the Dicemen/Outlaws di­ vision captured the title for men's compe­ tition. The Dicemen/Outlaws captured the volleyball, team handball and 3-on-3 weekend basketball contests and finished second in team basketball, flag football, horseshoes and bowling. "We compete in intramurals to help relieve stress and to experience a competitive challenge at the non varsity level. We captured the title last year because of our consistent in­ volvement and we plan to defend our title this year," Dicemen/Outlaws team mem­ bers David Davenport and Lynn McDougald said. In addition to offering opportunities for students to compete, the intramural department also offers chances for stu­ dent employment. Intramural sports em­ ploys over 150 students as scorers, tim­ ers, sportsofficials, office assistants, pub­ licity assistants and recreational supervi­ sors. Sports officials, scorer and timer clinics arc available in addition to an officiating class (PE-1501) which is of­ fered each semester. Upcoming deadlines to register for in­ tramural sports this semester include ten­ nis: singles, doubles, mixed doubles and team competition on Sept. 2 and weekend Softball, soccer and flag football on Sept. 8. Golf, putt-putt, racquetball, team hand­ ball, volleyball, weekend 3-on-3 basket­ ball and 1-on-l basketball will also be offered later in the semester for teams. In the co-recreational division, soccer, flag football, racquetball, bowling, 2-on-2 basketball and weekend 4-on4 basket­ ball will be offered later in the semester. Individuals who are not currently en­ rolled in PE-1501 and are interested in working with intramural sports as offi­ cials for soccer or flag football can attend a clinic on Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. respectively in Broome Kirk Gym. Those interested in scoring and timing will be offered clinics in soccer and flag football on Sept. 8 at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. respectively in Broome Kirk Gym.

Mountaineer Men's and Women's Golf Squads prepare for season fon look to improve rankings in the southern conference Hydia craver Wlachian Sports Editor The Appalachian State men's golf team gearing up for what head coach Sam "ns believes will provide the Mounmeers w''h a good chance at improving ranks in the Southern Conference 0r'd of golf. After finishing sixth in the conference "season, the Apps will look to seniors Kauffman and Jay Jamieson to lead **ay. Other key players will include log lettermcn Robert Murrell, Jan °ung, Travis Wolfe and Bryan arshburn.

(! or, a Watagua High graduate, comes - ° ^ountaineers after a brief stint at lw° the University of NorthCarolina atChapel Hill while Jamieson comes to the area from Daytona Beach, FL where he was regarded as one of the top junior players in Northern Florida. "Our goals for the year are to win as many events as possible, and naturally to win the Southern Conference title. We will have as good a chance to accomplish these goals this year as any," Adams said. Adams noted that squads from East Tennessee State, Furman, and Marshall will likely field the strongest teams and provide the toughest competition for the Appalachian squad. Golf is a tough sport for the Mountain­ eers to be competitive in, according to Adams, due to the varying weather condi­ tions that prohibit maximum practice time. Other schools are not faced with the freez­ ing temperatures and snow that plague golf practice. Another obstacle for the golf program is the fact that Appalachian State does not have a university-operated golf course and many local courses are not willing to turn over their property for several days to a group of university stu­ dents to conduct a tournament. Despite these disadvantages, Adams sighted that his team will simply try harder to excel and play to their utmost potential in order to adequately prepare tliemselves for other more established programs tltroughout the conference. The men's golf squad will travel to compete in the College of Charleston Invitational on Sept. 13-15 before return­ ing to its home state to compete in the Guilford College Invitational on Oct. 4-6. The Mountaineers will round out their fall schedule travelling to Campbell Uni­ versity on Oct. 11-13. Following this, ASU travels to Carson-Newman College on Oct. 18-20 and ends the season with a meet at James Madison on Oct. 30-Nov. 1. Linville Ridge Golf Course's Bill Dicus looks to rebuild a young squad By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer golf team, un­ der the direction of first-year head coach Bill Dicus, is gearing up for the 1992 season. Dicus, the head golf pro at Linville Ridge, has been a Class A member of the Pro Golfer's Association for six years. Prior to his current position at Linville Ridge, he was associated with Grandfa­ ther Country Club. A graduate of Campbell University with anundergradu­ ate degree in English, Dicus also played collegiate golf for the Camels. He is currently working on some graduate stud­ ies in business at Appalachian State. "I hopeto bring my experience as a golf pro and my knowledge on managing and motivating people to the squad," Dicus said. ASU will led by team captain junior Amy Mouser. In addition to Mouser, the squad will return juniors Leslee Gainey, Mary Lytton, and Kim O'Briant. Sopho­ more Ellen Stewart will also return for the Lady Apps. The only newcomer on the squad will be freshman Karen Muench. Muench, a graduate of Clear Creek High in League City, TX, was a three-time most valuable selection for her high school squad. The Lady Mountaineers' main shortterm goal for the season is to continue improving. Since they are not currently involved with the Southern Conference due to the lack of participation among other universities, the squad's long-term goal is to one day be competitive in the NCAA level. Although there are not currently enough squads to hold a confer­ ence championship, there is some discus­ sion of one in the future, according to Dicus. The team will look to replace gradu­ ated standout Pam Barringer who totaled the lowest stroke average for the Lady Apps over her four-year stint with the squad. Another key loss will be that of senior Wesley Ann Hobbs who is unable to play this year due to prior commit­ ments with the ROTC. Appalachian State will open the nontraditional season as they travel to com­ pete in the Long wood College Invita­ tional in Farmville, VA on Sept. 17-20. The Lady Apps will go on to compete in the Duke Invitational Oct 14before play­ ing in the James Madison Invitational in Harrisonburg, VA on Oct. 9-11. They will round out the fall season playing at the Furman Invitational in Greenville, SC on Oct 15-18 and the College of Charlestonlnvitational in Charleston, SCon Nov. 5-8. The squad also competes in the spring, yet does not hold any home matches due to lack of facilities. ASU Field Hockey Gearing Up senior All-Deep South selection Shannon Smith to lead the way.

By PHIL MCCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The Apppalachian State soccer team enters the 1992 season with three main goals: winning the Southern Conference ' championship, the Southern Conference tournament, and to finish among the top ten teams in the South. To achieve this goal, twelve-year head coach Art Rex will be counting on his proven talent, as t we'l 35 a talented pool of freshmen.

Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22,1963. c Campus crime logs are now available to student media at public colleges and Diversities thanks to a bill signed by President Bush on July 23,1992. The bill gned into law a clarification of campus crime records as not "educational cords" under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 I.S.C. sec. 1232g, more commonly known as the Buckley Amendment. This cw bill was included as part of the Higher Education Reauthorization Act. Many universities believed campus crime reports could not be made acccsible to the media since the information involved student records. College and Diversity officials most commonly cited the fear of losing its federal funding nder the limitationsof the Buckley Amendment as the reason for not releasing Campus crime reports. The Buckley Amendment provided that all federal jnding would be cut from colleges and universities that have made a practice >f releasing student education records. The bill explains that the definition of educational records does not include ^records maintained by a law enforcement unit of the educational agency or Institution that were created by that law enforcement unit for the purpose of law enforcement." With the passage of this bill, schools can no longer cite the Buckley Amendment as a reason for denying access to campus law enforce­ ment records, according to Mark Goodman of the Student Press Law Center. In compliance with this new bill, the Appalachian State University police rpartmcnt has opened up its crime logs to The Appalachian. Publication of lese records is important to the safety of all ASU students, faculty and staff, ccess to this information will provide students with information that will oint out areas of campus where repeated incidents occur. If students, faculty and staff are made more awareof the potential dangers on college campus they will be more safety conscious. When people are safety onscious, they limit their chances of being the victim of crime. Opening these sords is beneficial to everyone involved. The Appalachian will publish a weekly summary of the ASU police crime >g This log is a written record of every incident the police were called about "d to which they responded. The log usually includes a brief description of the Kidentas well as the time and location where it occurred. Also included in the $ is a report citing the doors that were found unlocked by the officer when he 'she checked the security of the buildings on campus. ( ASU crime reports: our necessary right By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Commentary Editor I 'r We all know thai cars are evil spewers of carbon monoxide, and we'd all breath a little easier if there were less of them. I'm not saying that we should all walk to North Carolina State University for Appalachian's first football game on the fifth. But I think maybe some folks could abstain from driving two blocks to get milk and bread. The problem of car pollution is obvious. Stand behind an old clunker once, while someone cranks'er up. Take a good whiff of that. But how many of us are thinking about our respiratory systems and the state of the earth's environment when we mow the grass or blow the leaves off of the driveway? You'd better get into the habit, folks! An article in the August 17,1992 edition of U.S!News and World Report titled "Cars are not the only polluters" states that "America's 80 million gas mowers spew as much air pollution as do 3 1/2 million new cars." The Environmental Protection Agency conducted'a study and found that people who run their lawn mower for one hour might as well have gotten into their car and driven fifty miles down the road. From my house in Asheboro, NC, I could drive the twenty-five mile dis­ tance to the Four Seasons Town Centre in Greensboro, NC, hang out with some friends, buy apair of Levis jeans, and drive home. I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why I just don't stay home. You're saying"Why let the yard turn into a jungle while you waste time, money, and pollute the air with your car to keep from polluting with your mower?" I'm a hypocrite? You missed the point. Citizens gave a cheer when the leaf-blower was intro­ duced. We all shouted "Lose the rake! Forget about sweeping thedriveway!"Sony, folks, I've got bad news. Vv» - • •; » Wc'Tlmao If you whistle while you work and take one hour to insure a leafless driveway and sidewalk you and your car just took a one hundred mile road trip. (For those of you who are indeed paying attention, that's two shopping sprees at the Four Seasons Town Centre and two pairs of Levis jeans.) Plant. Upkeep of the university's grounds is taken care of by their grounds department which, all together, has about forty-one gas-burning engines. This figure in­ cludes thirteen lawn mowers/tractors, five leaf-blowers, and variousother tools such as chainsaws, hedgetrimmers, and a Giant Vac leaf vacuum. Besides sharing this little inventory. Beech also ex­ plained that the grounds keeping here at ASU is, as it must be, an ongoing cycle. In order to complete just the mowing of the entire campus it takes approximately seven days, and the cycle begins again. Thus, the great wall of carbon monoxide is formed. Of course, the necessity of mowing decreases signifi­ cantly after the first killing frost. Usually, by mid-Octo­ ber the grass stays put until Spring. As the grass ceases to grow, however, the leaves begin to fall and the blowers that have been used sparingly over the summer months become frequent companions of men who work from 7am to 4pm to keep our campus well groomed. According to Beech it is customary for a four-man crew to remove the leaves from Sanford Mall. But the entire surface of the mall is not often cleared at once, because most of the time leaves collect in a few isolated areas. Still, if four men spendan hourat work, each armed with a leaf blower, that's four hundred miles of travel in an automobile. That's quite a bit of pollution. I know we need to mow the grass, and I've been here long enough to imagine how ridiculous it would be to ignore the vast amounts of leaves that fall in Autumn. But there must be somewhere the university could cut down and conserve. Perhaps ASU mightconsider purchasing a few electric powered tools. Not all at once, of course, the expense would be phenomenal, maybe just one or two, here and there. Every little bit counts. In the twenty-two and a half years that Terry Beech has been with the Physical Plant to his knowledge there has never been a discussion of electric powered tools. Two decades of traditional grounds upkeep has weathered change. Just think about a trail of carbon monoxide one hun­ dred miles long. Almost makes you want to break out the old rake agaia right? Hey, but your lawn is a manicured work of art, and best of all, your hard labor was cushioned by man's grand gassuming engine inventions. Take a look around ourown neat campus, for example. Every day students walk through a maze of concrete and grass. The landscaping and grounds upkeep at Appala­ chian State University provide a pleasant outdoor atmo­ sphere for all. Guess what, though? ASU has an entire fleet of gasoline-guzzling tools. Maybe it's time to have a chat with Black & Decker You've seen them. It's no secret that men riding about their cordless electric mowers. Wouldn't that be a tractors and some equipped with leaf-blowers work hard start? to maintain a safe, healthy, and beautiful campus. The In closing, I must comment on the leaves once again. administration certainly does not want students slipping It is nice to know that the leaves blown into piles and on leaves, overran by insects, and tortured by allergies. vacuumed up in the Giant Vac are placed in compost Yes, and beauty is a factor as well. mounds and used later for mulch and fertilizer. In light of the mower-blower discovery, however, is it So I don't want to see anybody throwing rocks at the possible to achieve the grounds keeper's goals and be grounds keepers; that wouldn't solve much of anything. kinder to the environment at the same time? Let's take a Personally, I strongly suggest an upgraded fleet of out­ look at the currentupkeep system used onour campus and door machinery. The tools we have may meet certain draw a few conclusions. health and safety standards. But we can do better than Terry Beech is the Grounds Supervisor at the Physical that. Drop/Add: An ASU tradition continues By MICHAEL GIRA Appalachian Columnist A very wise man once said, "Don't screw with tradition.'Taking these words to heart, I started the 1992-93 school year off conforming to the pattern set by all previous years. Where wasI theTuesday before classes began? Enjoying the last day of my not-soendless summer on my brand new mountain bike? No. On rollerblades? No. Picnicing with someone I love? No. I find it's logical to assume that if you're not enjoying the last day of sum­ mer you're in one of two places; the hospital or drop/add. If you're making a tradition of starting each school year in the hospital we prob­ ably need to talk. If you're starting each school year in the drop/add line we prob­ ably have talked. In fact, I probably know your name. I have not missed a drop/add in three years. To me it's like a big welcome back party. In this line, my indecisive friends and I catch up on old times and lie about how great our summers were. This year we honestly considered buying a keg, blindfolding ourselves, and then spinning each other around in circles. Once dizzy and disoriented, we would stumble around for one or two minutes and then pin the tail on the classes that would become our new schedule. My friends and I figure drop/add could be a fabulous back-to-school kick-off bash. Everyone would die just to go. We print up some T-shirts, something greek, maybe "I got laid at ASU's Hawiian Drop/ Add Luau." It's got potential. Anyway, as it turned out, I needed two of those all-too-familiar drop/add carbon copy sheets, one for everything I dropand one for everything I add. I reach the front of the line and wait for a computer opera­ tor to raise his or her hand. You know there are problems when no hand rises even after the person who was directly in front of you has left with his new schedule. I'm not afraid to admit I have almost developed into a drop/add legend. As I enter the room, silence takes con­ trol, time seems to stand still, the opera­ tors cringe, and some hide beneath their desks. The twilight zone's theme song comes to mind. "Oh no, not Mike Gira," I can hear them whisper as I decide who the unfor­ tunate person will be. Mysteriously, the operators find them­ selves subconsciously reciting my social security number. As I pass by, sighs of relief from the unchosen operators break the silence. Once I am safely out of range, hands begin to again rise and drop/add resumes. The operator I select fearfully glances at me out of the comer of her eye. My social security number is already on the screen and she begins dropping all of my classes. "Not that one," I calmly interapL "I need that one." Forty-five minutes latermy new sched­ ule has been created. I'm majoring in English, minoring in marketing, taking ROTC and learning German. Who cares if my schedule looks like the variety pack of higher education? Another wise man once said, "Variety is the spice of life." « ! �12. The Appalachian. Tuesday. Srptrmfrr I 1QQ?

THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, Boone, NC 28608 Thursday, August 27,1992 Overbooked; No room for some students I . I By sUZI LANDIS | Appalachian News Editor Appalachian State University's Resi­ de Halls are now operating at a 101.4 percent occupancy rate. The policy of overbooking residence halls to allow for j^shows and withdrawals left 97 stuijaits without regular room assignments Sunday, August 16. As of last week half of those students arestill waiting for room issignntents. The overbooked students were placed in a triplett room or in a converted semiuirroom. Forty-seven women were added in Newland to make triple occupancy rooms. Ten men were added in Justice to form triples. Twenty women and twenty men were assigned to converted seminar rooms in Belk, Bowie, and Frank. The converted seminar rooms are the enclosed lounges and study rooms on eachfloor. Therooms have locking doors, bunk beds, wardrobes, and a card table and chairs to accomodate four students, I according to ResidenceLife Director Brad Reid. Forty-two women and 16 men are still waitingforpermanentroom assignments. No-shows have been declared said Reid. "We'rewaiting for withdrawals. The num­ ber situation changes daily." Reid predicts men to be placed in permanent rooms in a couple of weeks. "Itmight be the majority of the semester for women," added Reid."Hopefully, triples will be out by fall break." The overbooked students receive a $15 credit a week for up to six weeks. Fteshmen Darcy Jones feels the credit is not worth the living conditions. "Vou can't settle in,"said Jones.

The Rhododendron has been published " Appalachian for 69 years, since the 1922-23 academic school year. Many students have expressed that this •he passing of a big part of their Emories of ASU. 8 Scott Plaster, Copy Editor for the 1991yearbook said "It's more than just a publication. It's like losing a hon, if the students want the yearhack, it's up to them to begin show- living out of a suitcase. We have no desk or desk lights, so it's hard to study." "You can't get organized or unpacked because you never know what day you might move into a room," said freshmen Vince Chung. "We can't get a refrigera­ tor or television because we don't know what our roommate might have." The process of booking residence halls begins in February and March, according to Reid. "We have to make projections based on past years' numbers," said Reid. "We have to make decisions on numbers to committ to freshmen and then upperclassmen." The assignments are then based on a lottery number given randomly to each student. After June 1 the lottery is taken out and a first-come, first-serve process goes into effect. Jones said that the university lost her application so her name was dropped from the lottery. By the time new applications were filledout, Jones was at the bottom of the room assignment list. Chung also had paperwork problems. Coming from Hong Kong, Chung did not receive the necessary applications and questionaires in time. All students who are not assigned a room but guaranteed on-campus housing are called in advance by Residence Life. According to Reid, the school tries to call three times. If the school cannot get in touch with the student after that no more calls are made. "We received no calls from ASU," said Jones.

The removal of theSAC means the facility will not be considered by the state for bond funding at this time. In the June 10,1992, issue of the Char­ lotte Observer, Dr. Greg Blinding, vice chancellor of student development, said, "We still support the development of the Student Acitivities Center and believe that it will be funded when the state has money to do so. Our position has always been is that it's not a matterof if the center would be built, but when." The status of the SAC is uncertain. The SAC will not be built as planned at this time according to Blinding. How­ ever, the Student Acitivity Center might return to the drawing board for modifica­ tion and further consideration. The history of the SAC dates back about five years. The Oct. 7,1986, prior­ ity list of the university stated Appalachian's top five priorities as: l)a new facility for the College of Business , 2) a theatre/gallery/t.v. production facil­ ity, 3) a mathematics and science center/ facility, 4) an academic support facility, and 5) an addition to Belk Library. Between 1988 and 1990 Appalachian began the proces of planning for the SAC, while some students and faculty began the process of opposing the SAC. The Student Activities Center was planned as a 11,500 seat and $24 million building. The state would appropriate $9.5 million, approximately $10 million would come from students, and $4 million from dona­ tions. The SAC would provide a larger space for convocation, graduation, intra- TIMEUNE OF THE STUDENT ACTHVITY CENTER October 1986 Summer 1988 October 1988 May 1990 Spring 1991 Fall 1991 Summer 1992 University priority list does not include the SAC State appriopiates funds for three regional student activity centers University's number one priority is SAC Faculty survey opposes the SAC, Faculty Senate opposes SAC Academic Policies & Procedures Committee asks administration to withdraw support of SAC, University Environmental Assessment Finds no significant impact by SAC, State denies ASU permission to build SAC without further surveys, Student Government Association survey finds majority of students against SAC State appropriations for $300 million system wish list becomes bond referendum and postponed to spring session ASU Coalition for Academics holds a Sack the SAC bike tour, ECU and NCSU pull their student activity centers off the bond referendum. State pulls SAC from referendum Fee raise? Not for now mural sports, athletic offices and basket­ ball. Appalachian received approximately $2 million from the state to begin the planning procedures. Student fees were collected in the 1990-91school year. In May 1990, a faculty survey con­ cluded 67 percent of the faculty was against the SAC. The Faculty Senate Campus Planning Committee called for a halt to all site preparation and other construction activities. Appalachian's Environemental As­ sessment of March 1991, found the SAC would have no significant impact on the environment. After originally supporting the SAC, a month later the SGA held a student referendum. The result of the sur­ vey was 1,025 against the SAC and 389 in favor of the SAC. In May 1991, the Faculty Senate Cam­ pus Planning Committee called for the Proposed student fee increases were rejected by the Board of Governors for the second year in arow. Chancellor John Thomas and the Board of Trustees, with recommendations by the Student emment Association, approved*fifiafHT fee increase for the 1992^93sji65dem ic year. The state legislature, Mwever. had asked the Board of Governors to not ap­ prove fee increases until a policy of in­ creasing fees is researched and devel­ oped. Tuition was approved for increase, but general fees remained the same. General See STUDENT page 3 See FEE page 4 By SUZI LANOIS Appalachian News Editor Reconstruction of Plemmons Student Union to be finished in spring By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian News Editor Phase I construction and renovation of Plemmons Student Union is underway. The $9 million project started two months after schedule and has since run into some problems, said Larry Trivette, director of the student union. Fire regulations, earthquake standards, and asbestos removal have put the project completion back. Originally built in 1967, the student union had to be brought up to 1992 standards and codes. There's no official change on the October 15th dead­ line of Phase I, but Trivette believes the phase will be completed by the end of the semester. The original plans for renova­ tion and remodeling sceduled a mid-May renovation of the second floor. The first floor was to be left as is. Workmanoffices and Outdoor Programs were supposed to move to the second floor in September and October. This fall, work on the new union addition was to begin. The project, however, has been put back at least two months. Phase I construction includes the top and bottom floors of the student unions. Only the student union and A.P.P.S. of­ fices remain intact upstairs while the Sweet Shop remains downstairs. Plans for the second floor of the stu­ dent union will include the bowling alley, the Gold Room, and the skylight lounge. The game room will be Outdoor Pro­ grams. Our House and the adjoining meet­ ing rooms will house all offices now in Workman Hall. The Appalachian, SGA, and the Judicial Department will receive smaller but more efficient areas than in Workman. Offices from Workman could move by the end of the semester said Trivette.The Gold Room is tentatively going to open next spring, added Trivette. The downstairs of the student union will be open tostudents assoon as it's safe Trivette said. He estimated opening in a month. The Pub and SweetShop will still be downstairs through PhaseI. The game room will be located on the back hall behind the Pub. Student Union and A.P.P.S. offices will temporarily be in the downstairs lounge for two years, while Phase II is being completed. The offices will then be torn down to make room for a Black Student Association cultural center and an art encounter center. Phase II will include tearing down Workman Hall and building a three floor addition to the student union. The addi­ tion will have a mini-Quinn Center on the top floor, offices, a lounge and a 24-hour study room with computers on the second floor, and a larger Sweet Shop will be moved to the bottom floor of the tower. Trivette estimated completion of the entire project by Spring 1995. Phase I is scheduled to be finished by the end of the semester. The original plans projected completion by this fall semester. Delays mostly from adhering to new regulations and waiting for materials to come in have set the project back. Delays in construction of the student union have affected student employees of the university. The bowling alley was planned to open at the beginning of the fall semester, so students were given jobs. Because of the delays students originally promised jobs have been placed in other areas or have been put on a priority wail­ ing list As students quit or servicesopen, priority students will be offered jobs, ac­ cording to Trivette. Delays have also affected clubs and service organizations on campus. Meet­ ing rooms in the student union are now unavailable. To allow for the overflow. Legends has become accessible to groups Monday through Wednesday during the day. Pub shows will now be held in Legends also. Because of the closing of the Gold Room, Food Services has also extended hours in other locations. The cafeteria will be open longet to help service the overflow of students.

'The Broyhill Inn is booked a year in advance and can only provide scattered days, not full weeks," explained Reid. Residence Life does not make projections far enough in advance to reserve space. Also, the length of time is always uncertain. Spaces from with­ drawals can open up at any time. Likewise, Appalachian hasconsidered using local hotels, but has faced similiar problems. August, September, and Octo­ ber are peak months usually booked in advance. Hotels would be willing to make a deal with ASU to reserve space, said Reid, but the school cannot commit m to a length of time.

Student activities, not to be confused with the student activity fee, encompasses student programs such as A.P.P.S. and student publications. All three categories receive no money from North Carolina. According to Dr. Gregory BUming, vice-chancellor for student affairs, the university pays for athletics, health ser­ vices, and student activities with the rev­ enue received by each department In addition, each department has a reserve fund for emergencies with up to six months reserve. The reserve is no where near that now, said Bliming. Because of nation­ wide and statewide economic problems, the athletic, student activities, and health services are running a deficit "We're trying hard not to limit stu­ dents, said Bliming. "In the past we've given optimum service in health care at minimum cost on a state level." In health services, the university must also meet a state employees' 1 percent raise without the state's help. The univer­ sity will be approximately $200,000 in the hole just with the health services, according to Bliming. As the cost of living increases and student feesstay the same, programssuch as A.P.P.S., SGA, and student publica­ tions will have to cut back on their bud­ gets. We can' t run a deficit forever," said Bliming. "We must balance the budget." The Rhododendron, ASU's yearbook, has already beendiscontinued becauseof lack of funds and lack of interest. The budgets for athletics, health ser­ vices, and student activities depend on the revenue intake. The revenue and ex­ penses must be equal after a specified amount of savings is taken out said Bliming. The three departments have a threemillion dollar revenueflow. Bliming estimated that half a million dollars will need to be cut out of the budget. Call Sharon at 262-3033 for more info Diane T; aylor KAPPA DELTA or go by (he Quinn for an application.

They were greeted by a dreary rain, which contributed to their feelings of nervousness and fright of living on their own. After the cars were unloaded and parents were gone, for most freshmen the next step was to meet their new roommates; however, some already knew their's from high school. With their small rooms looking like disaster areas, the freshmen ventured into their lobbies to meet their resident asistants and one another. Through the icebreakers on the hall, some of the freshmen got better acquainted, while others kept to themselves or friends from their hometown. Freshmen thought that the RAs overall were very friendly and outgoing in ways that tried to get everyone on the hall to develop a certain bonding, or a home away from home. There were many activities planned for the fresh­ men in four days, in order to keep them busy and to introduce them to ASU. Freshmen felt over­ whelmed by the activities, for they were also at­ tempting to get fully settled into their rooms before classes began. The realization that they were finally in college began to hit freshmen as they attended the different programs on the agenda. :HESS ian Et Cetera Editor Where, oh where, did the summer go? It seems like just days ago that everyone was packing up [heir suitcases and heading for home. I remember | filing like the summer would never end, and like I'dnever seeBoone again. It scares me when I look back at all that I wish I'd been able to do with my spare time. As I drove up to ASU two weeks ago, I looked around at all of the freshness and beauty that surrounded my car full of boxes, and realized why I had decided to attend school in the mountains of North Carolina. I was finally away from the city air in Greensboro, and in a location where I could think and relax. My thoughts began to wander to what this year would bring. Last year had been full of many new experiences and activities that had made me a happier person. I realized last year that college is much, much more than just a place where one goes to attend classes, declare a major, and then gradu­ ate and find a good job. Yes, that is a big factor of it, but the experience extends beyond that. The diversity of people that one sees as they walk through the campus of ASU, or of any other university, is overwhelming. There is so much variety in the clothes that are worn, the music that is played through dorm windows, and the hairJ styles that are proudly displayed. We could stereotype them all with neat little labels, such as: granola, greek, jock, deadhead, etc., but even these labels do not encompass every­ one here. People are so different from one another, that just wearing certain shoesor being in a sorority or fraternity does not automatically assign them personality traits. Sure, people who are into the same music or dress tend to hang out with one another, yet they do not necessarily adopt the same ambitions and ideas. It can be hard for everyone throughout their college lives to find their places and fit in with People. It is good to have a number of different friendships with a number of different people in order to broaden your mind. This sounds a lot easier than it is. We are all influenced by the friends that we make. In high school, I wore some of the same 'Crew shirts as my friends, just because that was die fad. You may say that it's sad that I wasn't able 10 stand on my own and be an individual. Well, you're right. The manners in which people influence our dves do not end after high school, but maybe we nature a little bit throughout college and begin to ^e life to please us, not our peers. We live away from our family members now, who were one of our biggest influences while we were growing up. As I think of this individuality that we all Possess, a quote comes to mind that I clipped last year by lames Allen. "Gierish your visions; cher®'1 your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your j^t, the beauty that forms in your mind, the ve'iness that drapes your purest thoughts, for... •f you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." That quote pretty much sums up what I was inking as I drove onto the campus of Boone two **®'u ago, with eager anticipation of the year ^ °f me and what changes it would bring. College is a time of experimentation, a time to fTOcipate and get involved in things that high ^°ol and the real world do not have to offer. Specially here, in the mountains, where opportu"llles to go hiking, camping, and visit Indian reser®*°ns are only as far away as the telephone, and '"ofessors are more than willing to help you out. Do not take advantage of our short time in ool because of what our peers will think of us is L olous. The people that look at you funny ause you went caving yesterday with Outdoor grams, or went to a mixer with your sorority/ U^mity, are people who have not yet gotten past Use °f stereotypes to judge people's actions, hile you are at ASU, do more than just attend J*fSes and go to parties. Be true to your feelings erT1°tioas, make friends that you will be able to c in twenty years, but most importantly, have a pe«time. As my mom told me this summer when I comabout working all the time, "College is P'a, Kate, enjoy it while it lasts." Well, I hate to " 'L but maybe she was right—just that once. ^ 'I s hard to say what this year will bring for ery°ne, but I'm positive that if you look at j self, and discover what you want out of your yUr >0r more) years here, you will be very happy. may even find yourself telling your grandchil^nfrtat they should attend school in Boone. Appalachian Photo by Brian McKlrmey ASU WELCOMES FRESHMEN; New students got an early start unpacking and unloading before the upperclassmen arrived. There were varied opinions in the course of the confusing first day. Michael Broome, a former SGA president, was the first speaker for freshmen. His motive was to relax the freshmen and get them to look at the humorous sideof college life, rather than the fright­ ening new experience that most believed it to be. One freshman said that the program entitled "Mapping the Environment," was very creative and interesting. It's purpose was to acquaint the freshmen with the sights and sounds of the campus and of Boone in general, because most had no idea where to go for their classes, or even to eat dinner. After the freshmen learned where their classes were located, they were no longer worried that they would feel embarrassed by asking someone on the first day. At Gub Expo, the many original opportunities that ASU has to offer were introduced to the freshmen by the upperclassmen. This gave moreof a student-to-student feeling,so that everyone could relate to one another. The freshmen felt as if the club presidents wanted their involvement in the activities. By Tuesday the eighteenth, most freshmen still felt rather unsettled in their attempts to unpack, but they were anxious to see what their classes would be like. Over the weekend they mostly had spent time with their roommates, or other students that they had already known on campus. The first few days of being a freshmen at any college are full of many surprises and new experi­ ences. Some members of the freshmen class at ASU this year said that they wished everyone was more outgoing and willing to meet each other. They hope to become better friends with the people on their halls. A few freshmen compared the unsettled feel­ ings of just moving into their rooms to living life out of a suitcase. They felt as if there were a lot of hassles associated with campus life, and because so many activities began as soon as they set foot on campus they did not feel like they could attend all that they would have liked. Overall, the new freshmen class seems to be adjusting to college life at ASU. There will be many experiences throughout this First year, and all the rest to come, that will broaden freshmen's minds, just as they did to upperclassmen. Stress is a common problem students face that is easily avoidable By LISA LATJGH1JN Appalachian Assistant Et Cetera Editor It's two o'clock in the morning. You have a major papier due for your eight o'clock class. Your computer has de­ cided it doesn't like you and keeps telling you "Invalid Request."The phone is ring­ ing, security has just towed your car, your roommate's friends have made them­ selves at home. Do you feel stressed? You bet! It's a rare occasion that all these things will happien at once, yet we have all expe­ rienced stress. What exactly is stress? Kit Olson of the Wellness Center defined it as your reaction to what is going on around you. "Stress comes from inside. It;'s the person's own inner reaction to what they're going through at the time."Stress is notsomething physical, although physi­ cal reactions such as sweating, alertness or distraction, shaking hands,drop in body temperature, or mental confusion can oc­ cur. Leftover from ancient times, stress is a response also known as the Fightor Flight Syndrome. It is the natural, human, physi­ cal respense that causes energy to accu­ mulate. This is the body's way of prepar­ ing to fight off the attacker or run away. In modem times, these reactions are not as practical. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, you can't exactly run or confront the opponent. You must instead wait patiently, which often causes stressespecially in the triangle area, the neck, head, and shoul­ ders. •>' '« Now that we know what stress is, how can we avoid it? •Manage your time: Allow yourself plenty of time to get places. We have all been stuck in traffic or been unable to get around people casually chatting in front of us as we make a mad dash for class. Leave early and allow time for such in­ conveniences. Regular study habits can prevent stress right before a test. If you study enough ahead of time, take the night before a test off and do something you enjoy. This reduces pre-test anxiety. •Proper nutrition: A variety of different types of foods is best. A reduction of caffeine and nocotine helps. Protein gives you energy while carbohydrates can in­ crease the feeling of fatigue. Avoid sub­ stance abuse. •Enough sleep: Being a college student means staying up late to write papers, or squeezing in some fun time after attend­ ing classes all day. Regular sleeping pat­ terns are recommended, but at least try to get enough sleep to feel rested. •Spend time alone:Take fifteen minutes each day and do something just for you. Turn off the phone and be by yourself. A relaxing bath, meditation, or keeping a journal are some ideas. •Do something you enjoy: Give your emotions as well as your body sometime to relax. Read or spend time with friends just talking. •Exercise: This is probably the most important thing you can do to relieve stress. Stretching and deep breathing also helps to relax you. Stress management programs will be held beginning Sept. 1 at 3 p.m. at the Wellness Center. Registration is not nec­ essary. To Assess Stress Add your scores from #1,6,7,9 and 13.

If your score 35 or above: You are very resistantto stress, your attitudes help youcongratulations! 27 to 34: You are some­ what resistant but could be more so; look at each item, and choose a few to work on. 18 to 26: You need to look at your habits and attitudes to improve your resistance to stress; go through the statements above, and pick one to improve each month. Under 18: If stresses get serious, you could be in trouble; take time NOW to change your habits and attitudes, you may want to ask a professional counselor for ways to feel more positive about your­ self.

Thursday Atif^u 77 10Q% Coffee shop full of atmosphere By KATE HESS Appalachian Et Cetera Editor When people wake up in the mornings to venture to classes or the office, they usually need something toget them stimu­ lated for the long day ahead. Besides just eating a healthy breakfast, one needs to consume their daily dosage of caffeine, usually in the form of a hot cup of coffee. Because of this fact, a new coffee shop moved into Boone this summer. On King Street, among all of the original shops, is a small, quaint, while shop with green shutters. A sign labeled "beansTalk" hangs out front. Weathered posters advertising local musicians are taped to the inside of the window, yet what may first attract passersby is thequote painted inside; "Coffee is the beverage of thoughts, dialogue, and dreams." As soon as the door to beansTalk is open, one can smell a mixture of aromas. Hie air is full of the smell of coffee and freshly baked cakes and pies. Small tables. chairs, and stools fill the shop, while paintings and coffee mugs decorate the walls. BeansTalk has everything from espresso to Pepsi to drink, and fresh des­ serts, such as chocolate truffle mousse pie, Oreo pie, and of course, coffee cakes and danishes. Local musicians are wel­ come to perform, and often do, some­ times seven nights a week. This original coffee shop opened in Boone on May 18, and has been popular throughout the summer. It opens at 7 a jn. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. on Satur­ day, and 10 a_m. on Sunday, and remains open in the evenings until the customers leave. There is a Gathering Hour from 1 5pm everyday, with half-price espresso and cappuccino specials. BeansTalk is a definite welcome addi­ tion to Boone. It is a small shop tucked away in the mountains. Appalachian Photo by Sandra McKinney As the quote on the window reads, it is a place to talk, think, study, or just be. NEW COFFEE SHOP: A peaceful atmosphere and a wide variety of coffee are BeansTalk welcomes aspiring musicians, available at beansTalk, located across from the King St. and College St. intersection. artists, or just coffee drinkers to stop in for awhile.

AusuU 27. 1922 SPORTS ±A THE APPALACHIAN THURSOAY, August 27,1992 Appalachian football ranked fifth By PHIL McCARN Appalachian Assistant Sports Editor The 1992 football season promises to Be an exciting one for Appalachian State University. The Mountaineers come freshly off of a very successful year which included an 8-4 overall record, a Southem Conference Championship, and an appearance in the I-AA playoffs. This year's edition is now in the unenviable position of defending the SC champion­ ship and living up to the expectations that have been placed upon them nationally. The Mountaineers have consistently ap­ peared among the nation's top 25 teams, ranking as high as fifth in one I-AA poll. ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore, now entering his fourth year, does not feel threatened by the added pressure associ­ ated with the national exposure. "We're glad to be included in those top ten, fifteen, or twenty teams in the coun­ try," explains Moore, " but we want to ultimately end up there, it doesn't make any difference where we're picked right now." The Apps main goal this year is to repeat as Southern Conference Champi­ ons. This goal is no easy task in a league that Moore feels is one of the toughest in the nation. There are probably four or five teams that could come out and win it [the SC Championship],"Moore noted, "although Marshall seems to be everyone's favorite right now." In order to obtain success in the 1992 campaign, the Mountaineers will rely on the experience of 40 returning lettermen, 14 of whom were starters last year. The offensive backfield is an area of considerable depth and experience and will be lead by veteran signal-caller, D.J. Campbell. Campbell has started in every contest while at Appalachian and will be counted on to lead this relatively young grid-iron squad. "The leadership qualities in D.J. are really beginning to surface,"said Moore, "he (Campbell) has had a terrific fall camp and a good spring." Moore also expressed his confidence in junior backup quarterback, Andy Arnold who threw for 78yards on 6-of-10 passing in 1991. Also returning in theoffensive backfield is 1991 Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, Chip Hooks. Hooks ran for a school record 1,117 yards as a freshman and had five games with 100 yards or more, including 200-yard mark against Tennessee-Chattanooga. Along with the offensive backs, the defensive line and linebackers look to be another solid, proven area of the Appala­ chian State football team. This corps of players will be lead by Pre-Season All-American Avery Hall. Hall, a senior, has been a first-team AllSouthern Conference selection in each of his three seasons as a Mountaineer and is another of Moore's dependable players with experience in the "big games". Joining Hall on the defensive line are senior left end Sean Swoope, junior nose tackle Chris Holloway, and junior right end Kevin Sikorski. Heading up this year's group of line­ backers will be 1991 Southern Confer­ ence Defensive Player of the Year, Rico Mack. Mack enters his senior season for the Apps and could become the only Mountaineer to have received All-American honors for three consecu­ tive years. Brent David, who led the Apps with 113 stops last year, brings depth and ex­ perience to the inside linebacker position. The kicking game will, again, be a solid area with the return of I-AA leading punter, Harold Alexander. Alexander averaged 46.7 yards per kick as junior, including seven kicks of over 50 yards against Marshall. The placekicking chores will be put in the very capable hands of Jay Millson. Millson connected on all 21 of his extra point attempts in 1991 and has the expe­ rience needed in pressure situations to win football games. The only question mark for the kicking team will be in replacing long snapper Rock "Thomas. Moore felt that this is a great loss, not only for the snapping du­ ties, but for the coverage that Thomas supplied. "We've got three or four guys that are doing an adequate job," remarked Moore, "but if we would play a game today, I don't know who would start." As with all teams, no one will know how this edition of Appalachian State football will do until they actually play a football game. The seasonopens on Sept. 5 when the Apps travel to Raleigh for a non-conference clash with the Wolfpack of North Carolina State University. Moore commented, "North Carolina State will have one advantage in that they will have played one football game (vs. Iowa)." The Mountaineers travel to WinstonSalem the following week to take on nonconference rival. Wake Forest in their traditional grudge match. ASU has an open date the following week before be­ ginning defense of the SC title against East Tennessee State University on Sept. 26 in Boone.

Appalachian State cross country squads get ready for season Men aiming to challenge ETSU for Southern Conference title By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor r . .A/jpaJachian State University's men's cross country squad is wrapping up pre season workouts and preparing to pursue a successful season under the di­ rection of fifth-year head coach A1 Fereshetian. The Mountaineers will look to senior captain Todd Walters and junior all-con­ ference performer Billy Pemberton to lead foe squad which hopes to contend with reigning Southern Conference champi­ ons East Tennessee State. "We will look to Todd and Billy to be our go-to guys. Others are looking really strong, but we have not really seenenough of (hem yet to make judgements about forir full potentials for the season," Fereshetian said. Other strong returning performers *>11 include senior Brian Watkins and sophomores Brian Miesch and Alan Whicker.

Fereshetian said. Women strive to continue reign as Southern Conference champs By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Sports Editor The Lady Mountaineer cross country squad is preparing for what should be a very challenging season. Under the direction of ninth-year head coach John Weaver, the squad is coming off of their sixth consecutive Southern Conference title and their seventeenth consecutive combined cross country, indoor track and outdoor track title. Despite the dominating tradition the Lady Apps have developed within the conference. Weaver feels threatened this season by the Furman squad. "They are senior-loaded, tired of being defeated.highlymotiv at ed,ex­ perienced and have likely done every­ thing at all possible over the summer to make their squad emerge victorious as conference champions this season," Weaver said. Weaver feels that the Lady Paladins are definitely the favored squad this season. East Tennessee State and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga should also compete strongly according to Weaver. "Our only goal is to try to repeat as Southern Conference champions. We are not going to wony about the early season meets, yet place all of our focus on the conference title. It will be a big test to repeat against Furman. They are going to be so tough and will certainly be favored to win. If we do come out as conference champions for another season, it will be because we took the opportunity away from Furman. They are certainly capable of capturing the crown," Weaver said. Leading the way for the young team will be returning juniors Melanie Babb, Carrie Hogg and Nicole Disher who will offer a spice of experience and strong leadership qualities for the Lady Apps. Sophomore Dawn Wherenberg will also provide depth for the squad. Freshman recruits Suzanne Black of Sun Valley High in Matthews, Fran Eckels of Monroe Area High in Monroe, Geor­ gia, and Stephanie Warden of Abingdon High in Abingdon, Virginia, should also play key roles for the squad. Other factors in the success of the Lady Mountaineers will be the performances of sophomores Lone Pedersen and Leah Walker. 'These girlscould definitely put some strength into our team. They train well; we will just have to wait and see if they race as well," Weaver said, Senior Heidi Barger-Dotsoncould also be a major factor for the Lady Apps. A two-timeleltcrman, she is returning to the squad after taking a year off and according to Weaver, she could be the team's "ace in the hole." The performance of sophomore Jenni­ fer Sheets will also be a factor for Appa­ lachian State. The Lady Mountaineers will open the season at home on September 12 in a meet with the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Caro­ lina at Asheville, and Davidson. "UNC-Charlotte is apretty strong team andtheyhavesomequalityrunners. UNCAsheville and Davidson should not be all that strong. It could go eitheT way be­ tween us and Charlotte and it will be a good time to see what we have got before the next meet, where we could possible meet Furman for the first time," Weaver said. The Lady Apps will go on to Lexing­ ton, Virginia to compete in the Virginia Military Invitational on September 26 before returning home to host a tri-meet with Wake Forest and Navy on October 3.

Returning are a num°f talented players from last year's New to the program this year will be ASU Head Coach Dave Markland. Markland will replace former head coach and Lady Mountaineer volleyball standout, Traci McGee, who left Appalachian to join her father's business. Markland, a native of Winston-Salem, received both his undergraduate and master's degrees in physical education from ASU before beginning to coach at the junior high level. After a six-year stint with this level and a two-year stint working with Junior Olympic squads, M arkl and joinedthe staff of UNC-Chapel Hill as an assistant. He remained at the university for three years before returning to ASU to serve as head coach. "I hope to keep this progTam at a very competitive level in the Southern Conference. I would alsolike to continue the tradition of making ASU one of 'the' teams to beat in the conference and also to get our program more exposure, possibly by strengthening the schedule featuring more Atlantic Coast Confer­ ence teams. Naturally, I hope to lead the team to a conference champion­ ship and post-season competition, hope­ fully eventually earning qualification for the NCAA tournament," Markland said. The Lady Mountaineers will look to senior tri-captains Joanne Myers, Rachael Wade, and Kim Nelson to lead the squad.

Senate Joint Resolution 282 ^iamger may be hocM at 2624157; the editorial uaffmay he reached at was passed last month. Earlier this month. House Joint Resolution 454, a resolution identical to the one in the )I04, Senate, was passed. Known as the "Assassination Materials Disclosure Act of 1992," its purpose is to expeditiously open the doors that have kept the public's eyes from seeing the million-plus pages of information federal agencies have concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy. With these doors flung open, public light may intrude and settle the mystery of what really happened to Kennedy. On one hand, motion picture director 6liver Stone wants you to believe that a conspiracy of the CIA, the FBI, the maffia and Lyndon B. Johnson masterminded and carried out the Kennedy assassination in Dallas in Ninety-seven students arrived cm campus this year to find they did not have 1964. On the other hand, the already-published reports a residence hall room.

These students have paid the same housing payment as all other students on campus and they deserve the same housing as other students. Having a room where a student can feel safe and comfortable is not a privilege, but a necessity. Students living in triplesare being reimbursed $15 a week for up to six weeks. Fifteen dollars is small consolation for living in such cramped quarters. Betterplanning isrequired. Residence Life should notintentionally overbook students. Many students are attracted to Appalachian because of the comfort­ able "friendly" atmosphere of the campus, however, living in aconverted lobby is not part of this picture. Living in these conditions is not part of the image Appalachian tries to portray. The students living in converted seminar rooms and triples are not the only people inconvenienced by these arrangements. Residertt Directors and Resi­ dent Assistants are given additional students they did not plan for. Students hving in the residence halls no longer have a place to socialize in the dorms. Parents were forced to return with belongings that would not fit in the student's living quarters. If overbooking is to continue, Appalachian should plan accordingly. Like other North Carolina system schools, Appalachian should reserve rooms in "wtels and hotels around the area to place students in until permanent rooms become available. Although the months of August, September and October are Peak tourist months for Boone, that is not a reason why Appalachian can not book rooms early. Hanging asign reading"Penthouse Suite" on the door does not make it home. tors on Jan. 20,1964, he began by saying. "Our only client is the truth." Was the client properly served? Without the release of these files, we cannot make the judgment for ourselves. The government tells us the results of the Wwren Commission investigation, and we are then free to either believe or disbelieve. The government supplies no evidence to contradict its findings, and with no contradicting information, we surely must choose the easiest path—the one of belief. These joint Senate and House resolutions require that each executive agency of the United States submit all material concerning the assassination to a review board. That board will then decide whether or not the specific information contained in each individual document will be made public or kept secret. The resolutions provide exemptions for any materials which constitute an invasion of privacy to living persons, compromise national security or international relations, or compromise current techniques for protecting government officials, providing that disclosure is "so harmful that it outweighs any public interest in its disclosure." These files were not scheduled to be open for public inspection until the year 2029. This 65-year delay between creation and public distribution is standard procedure for all House and Senate proceedings that have not been made public officially. Given that the average life span of a human being is just over 70 years, we can figure by simple subtraction that only people who were around five years of age (or younger) when these events occurred would still be alive when the transcript of those actions finally comes into the public domain. Why must a government conduct itself in such a cloak of secrecy? If there were not a conspiracy to be hidden, why are there still secret files? It has been 28 years since the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Certainly many of the Warren Commission files w< have betrayed national security or invaded individu privacy at the time there were originally compiled, because of the rapid development and miniaturiz of electronic technology since 1965,1 suspect that five or six years many of the intelligence gathering techniques described in the Kennedy files had beco: obsolete. As the people whose private lives were y exposed in Kennedy investigation files died. Freedom of Information Act requests for their files should have been granted. What effect has popular culture had on the government's ability to keep secrets? Had it not beei:, j for the personal concern of director Oliver Stone an i. his movie, "JFK." nearly 1,000 boxes of unpublisheeTy information on the Kennedy assassination would not have found its way into the public domain until the t year 2029. You see, if there ever was any incriminate ; ing evidence in those Kennedy files indicating a conspiracy of the government, that information has ., long since vanished. Secret burglars, trained in secret programs, would have followed secret implication peoples' directions to secretly snatch the incriminating evidence and secretly replace it with evidence substantially less incriminating. Clandestine substitu­ tion of information would have avoided problems wit}, document inventory when the docu-ments would later become open for public inspection, there would simply be no cause for alarm. Soon we can expect to see relevant files on Kennedy's assassination come under public scrutiny.. Will we have to wait for more Oliver Stone to pop all over the country to call our national attention to thi« issue or that, so that we can more secret files released .!

We consistently rank high in the U.S. News and World Report ratings of col­ leges and universities. Our SAT scores continue to climb. We are now the third most competitive school for admission in the UNC system, and if current trends prevail, we'll soon become second. We have an excellent faculty and administra­ tion that both cares and listens. And we have themost beautiful location any cam­ pus would ever want. But above all we must remember that it is the students who comprise the single most important part of our campus com­ munity. For without the students, there would be no positions for professors, and our facilities would be nothing but shells filled with cold silence. Boone would be devoid of much of the culture, vibrancy and environmental awareness that makes this such a great place to be. As the elected leader of our student body, I cannot begin to tell you how important it is for us students to partici­ pate in shaping our future here at ASU. This is the world we will live in for the next fouror five years and it is incumbent on us to take a leading role. Student empowerment is the foundation of suc­ cess for our institution. We must take charge of our lives and be a part of the framework that shapes and affects us so directly. Those of us in student govern­ ment have risen to the challenge and we encourage every student on this campus tohaveavoiceinourfuture. Yourparticipation in the events that shape our lives is vital to the well-being of our university, our state and ultimately our nation. There are several ways that students may participate in determining their fu­ ture here at ASU. One of those is by becoming a student senator. The student senate is composed of 75 students from both on and off-campus backgrounds. These individual senators are charged with the responsibility of representing their constituents and collectively they are the voice for the-entire student body. The senate works through the SG A leadership to implement any legislation and/or ideas that they deem necessary and appropri­ ate. Our university administration recog­ nizes the SGA as being the official voice of the students on this campus. As presi­ dent, I then have the responsibility of presenting these ideas and legislation to the administration and ultimately the Board of Trustees of the University. I assure you, they do listen. I can't begin to teUyouthe undertakings. We will be taking great strides to open the lin& oLfcommunic«; tion with all concerned, be they faculty." administration, staff, or students.

TTje SGA formed a committee that exjroined student fees and created a propo»l that differed from the proposal of Appalachian State University adminatratkm. The Board of Trustees accepted Topics blaze controversy SGA's proposal rather than the administration's proposal, according to Ghent. "The Board of Trustees said our pro­ posal made some valid points, and I think this really got our foot in die door for future student fee discussions," Ghent said. Another project student government members worked on was a full-fledged constitutional review.This proposal took the judicial system out of SGA, Ghent said. Students will vote on the revised constitution next fall during senate elec­ tions. I Appalachian's Student Government Association was very active this year in the North Carolina Association of Stu­ dent Government. "We basically led that organization this year, and next year we have four officers in ASG," said Ghent. "All year we consistently had more Appalachian students attending the meetings." Ghent said that although a tremendous amount of bills were not passed by SGA this year, he feels that the SGA got a lot accomplished. "When I was vice-president, we passed something like 30 or 40bills, but this year — something we strived for was to take a very proactive view on things,"said GhenL "This year we did things with a phone call or a visit to someone instead of pass­ ing a bill. A bill is something you do when you can't do anything any other way. "If something needed to be done in the Food Services area, we would call Ron Dubberly or atop by to see him aid try to work things out that way," Ghent said. According to Ghent, this year theSGA accomplished more intricate projects than in past years. SGA developed new impeachment by­ laws this year as well as new election by­ laws. "We had a very experienced SGA this year, with several second-year members, and we figured this would be a good time to do some wholesale cleaning up for SGA," said Ghent. Ghent said he is pleased with the suc­ cess of SGA this year. "I feel we have had a very successful year, and although there are always things you wish you could have done but ran out of time, I think the year went gTeat,"said Ghent."I think you should always set your goals alittle higher Surveys show concerns Topics target Residence Life, Career Development By TRACY WILLIARD By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Assistant News Editor A proposed increase in student fees, peek housing, and the Ku Klux Klan Mrch in Boone and Blowing Rock sparked controversy through the 19911992 academic year. These were some of the issues which divided students and caused sides to be •ken in heated debates. 'Student Fees Appalachian State University's Student Government Association sponsored ifee forum as a way to inform studentsof tie proposed fee increase. Only two ASU students attended the lee forum, which SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy attributed last semester ID ASU students' apathy or support of iheir fees. •Greek Housing Fifteen of 21 fraternities and sororities have voted on theproposal supporting the plwningofgreekhousing. Other Appala­ chian students and groups opposed greek housing. The {roposal consists of what the university commitments and greek require­ ments will be. The Board of Trustees will »ote on the proposal in May, and if it pisses, lodges for each individualchapter "ill be built behind the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. 'Klan March Another controversial item Appala­ chian students dealt with this year was the "isrch of the Christian Knights of the Ku Hux Klan in Boone and Blowing Rock I on Easter Sunday. About 30-40 Klansmen participated in to march, while about 300 Boone citi2911 and ASU students turned out to oblerve the march. In peaceful opposition to the Ku Klux Han march, SG A sponsored a Friendship ^ that started at the Duck Pond Field, i continued through Sanford Mall. KLAN MARCHES ON BOONE: On EasteT Sunday, the streets of Boone were crowded with about35 Klansmen while 400 protesters crowded together to protest the Klu Klux Klan's beliefs. The Klan march was just one of the controversial issues students addressed this year. To combat this march, students unified for a Unity March and other activities. During the course of the semester, the ASU office of student development has conducted a series of surveys touching on such topics as student opinion, HIV, resi­ dence life and most recently, career de­ velopment •Career Development The March 23 career development sur­ vey found that students who work parttime, between 10-20 hours weekly, do better academically than students who do not work or work less than that. Graduating students surveyed in spring of 1989 said that part-time employment gave them practical career experience, taught them time management skills and flowed them to acquire new skills. The survey also foimd that during the past five years, 85 percentof ASU "s gradu­ ates were employed within nine months after graduation. An additional 11 per­ cent went on for an advanced degree, bringing the average total employment to 96 percent after nine months. •Student Opinion The student opinion survey found that 74 percent of students had never used ASU Freshman Akram Bargothi said 'ccently applied for a credit card "gh Citibank and now has his first ^ card and. $2,000 credit limit k 15 Parents did notco-sign, he said, but ,*** an unusually high credit ''story011 ^ P®®11'8 8°°d Cf^'1 J^R°lhi feels that it is too easy for H j* to obtain credit cards because bia ""c'havcjobsorsufficientmeans J** me credit card bills, cpresentatives Keith Winkler of Na1]^ ^ Aldridge of First traiv "^^^at college students are gen­ ii*'**1 credit risks, ntaliv h to AA'inkier, students nor8Ve 'ower credit limits on Visas iflhe!?lerc"rdsstarting at $300 vjn."~'c no *ith ik VC ^110 previous relationship e card company or bank.

Additionally, 17.3 percent indicated they used their representatives semesterly, 5 percent were used monthly and 4 percent weekly. Also, students surveyed werealso most pleased with the Quinn Center, the Learn­ ing Assistance Program, bookstore, li­ brary and Health Services, respectively. At Appalachian, students were moat satisfied with the professorial staff, with 20 percent indicating that as their prefer­ ence. Another 15.2 percent liked the cur­ riculum, with people, environment and class size compiling the rest of the list. Finances were also a newly found concern. Compared with fall 1990, the amount of students indicating finances as their most pressing personal problem doubled. •HIV The HTV survey pointed out that col­ lege students know how to prevent HIV transmission but often do not take those pecautions. However, there were no'avail­ able statistics for ASU because health services does not maintain health records showing students who are infected with HIV. See SURVEYS page 3 Alcohol remains the drug of choice on all college campuses BY AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Drinking and the abuse of alcohol is the number one problem targeting college campuses, said Dale Kirkley, substance abuse coordinates at the ASU Wellness Center. While ASU has not compiled statisti­ cal information about student alcohol use since a 1988 survey, Kirkleysaid national statistics reflect trends occuring on cam­ puses. Drunk driving accidents are the num­ ber one killer of Americans aged 18-24, according to BACCHUS, a national col­ lege-based alcohol abuse prevention pro­ gram. Other preventable incidents can be at­ tributed to alcohol, including dropouts, campus violence,risky sexual encounters and death, stated an announcement from the Office for Substance Abuse Preven­ tion. Also, 90 percent of all vandalism on college campuses are a result of drunken behavior, according to BACCHUS. Annually, typical college students spend more for alcohol than they do for textbooks, according to OSAP. Estimates guess that students spend $5.5 billion annually to purchase 430 gallons of alco­ hol beverages, according to OSAP. "What it comes down to is choices. Students have the ability to make choices when they are drinking," Kirkley said. "Our philosophy here at the Wellness Center is to educate students about abuses, as well as prevention informa­ tion." One workshop taught by Kirkley, Lifestyle Risk Reduction, deals with an individual analysis of the student's alco­ hol factors, such as biological factors. College students also engage in "binge drinking," which Kirkley says is five or more drinks in a row. In the ASU survey, ' the average respondent consumed about seven drinks per week. Six ty-eightpercentofrespondents drink at least monthly, and sometimes weekly and daily. Alcohol had thehighest amount of user statistics, followed by mari­ juana.

Other events the SGA sponsored this year included a Unity Week and Friend­ ship Walk that were held before the Eas­ ter break in response to the Ku Klux Klan's march in Boone and Blowing Rock. The SGA also sponsored the largest food and clothing drive they have ever held for the Boone community. SGA also recommended the establish­ ment of a Chancellor's List for students with exceptionally high grade point aver­ ages, as well aa raising standards for the Dean's List First Union's Collegiate Banking pro­ gram requires a parent to co-sign for a student so that the parent is responsible for paying the bill if the student is in default, said Aldridge. This program offers students Visas with credit limits of S1,000 and no annual fees for the first year, said Aldridge. Also, most banks and card companies charge finance charges and late fees. For example. Nations Bank does not charge finance fees on a credit card bill if the payment is paid in full before the due date, but Nations Bank charges a finance fee of $10, and a $15 late fee ischarged on a bill 15 days after it is actually due, said Winkler. First Union does not charge interest fees if bilk are paid before the dates they are due, but a $15 fee is charged to late payments and to bills which exceed their credit limits, said Aldridge. Many banks also offer cash advances, including cash for money order and for­ eign currency at Nations Bank. Finance charges areone percent for cash advances through a bank or an automatic teller machine, but there is no grace period of 25 days, said Winkler. Interest is charged on cash advances beginning the day the cash is withdrawn, said Winkler. Banks set interest rates on credit cards according to the types of credit card pro­ grams. According to Winkler, interest rates on Visas and Mastercards through Nations Bank range from 14.9 percent to 17.9 percent. Standard interest rates of Visas and Mastercards at First Union are 18 percent, but they can be as high as 24 or 25 percent, said Aldridge. Aldridge suggests that students apply for a credit card through their bank, rather than a credit card company by mail, so that they will have someone available with whom to talk if a problem arises or if they want to raise the limit on their card. Credit history and income are two ma­ jor criteria which banks consider before issuing credit cards to applicants. Before an applicant is issued a credit card, a check of his credit record is done. A credit report lists a person's major accounts, notes the amount of credit a person has, the amount outstanding on each account, and a person's regularity in paying bills. Also, 78 percent of studentsdrank to be social, 75 percent enjoyed the taste, 59 percent drank to relieve tension while 58 percent drank to get drunk, according to the Appalachian survey. Kirkley attributed several factors to alcohol abuse, including psychological, social, stress, peer influence and develop­ mental issues. "The quantity and frequency of the alcohol consumption is really important to a person's health," Kirkley said. At ASU, 87.6 percent of the survey respondents had tried alcohol.

Jeffries was die latest to feel the heatagain—when the City College Board of Trustees voted March 23 to have Edmund Gordon, a retired Yale University profes­ sor who served as the chairman of Yale's black studiesdepartment, replace Jeffries as chairman of City College's black stud­ ies program. Although Jeffries will remain at the *chool as a tenured professor, he has told The New York Times he will file a law­ suit against the school over the violation of his academic freedom.

According toLaRochelle, thereare two * major branches of thought concerning animal rights: Utilitarianism, which ad­ vocates the"greatest good for the greatest number," and the Rights Theory. The Righto Theory is based on the idea that humans are moral agents because they have free will and work hard, that animals are not moral agents, and that only moral agents should have rights. The abolition of animals in research, sports and hunting is equivalent to totally removing humans from nature, said LaRochelle. Giving rights to animals and making no choices for them does not actually benefit the aiimals, he said. Prohibitions on hunting deer in Princeton, NJ„ for ex ample, caiaedmaiy deer to become roadkill last year aid claimed several human lives, said LaRochelle. Without human intervention, deeroverextend their range, strip vegetation aid consume twigs which oontain intestinal flora that cause diseases in the deer, he noted. Students in favor of aiimal rights at­ tacked LaRochelle's stance regarding animals used for research, asking why some cosmetic products are tested on animals and other products me not. LaRochelle pointed out tha all cos­ metic products must be tested on animals in order to be approved by the Food aid Drug Administration. Any company which advertises "cru­ elty free labels on its products does not actually test the product on aiimals, but it purchases the label from a laboratory which tests the products on animals, said LaRochelle. Students also questioned LaRochelle about the number of animals which me u*ed in biomedical research every year. Twenty million dogs and cats were euthanized at animal shelters throughout the United States last year while the num­ ber of dogs and cats used in biomedical research last year was less than half that, LaRochelle pointed out Over 90 percent of those used in bio­ medical research last year were rats and mice while 1 percent were dogs and cats, said LaRochelle. Student advocatesof mimal rights also asked LaRochelle how the economic ar­ gument, such as the preserv*ion of wet­ lands, justifies the abolition of animal rights. The law of Mpply and demand applies to animals and is illustrated by an indif­ ference curve involving various animal as well as humai needs, said LaRochelle. Humans want to minimize animal suffer­ ing and maximize health, wmct, air and wetlands, he said. According toLaRochelle, a"final rough etpiilibrhim" would naturally result and lead to boom and bust cycles of both humans and aiimals. Such a result would not benefit humans or animals, he said.

Dillon Fence consists of the distinct vocals and guitarplaying ofGreg Humphreys, Kent Alphinon guitar and vocals, ChrisGoode on Bass and vocals and Scott Carle on (hums. Over the last year, Dillon Fence has played to sold out crowds all over the Southeast, including their last visit to Legends.The recent Dillon Fence shows are even more energetic than before, due to the release of "Rosemary." "Rosemary" was pro­ duced by veteran Ron St. Germain who has worked with U2, The Cure, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains and Soundgarden. The CD "Rosemary" has sold a tremendous amount of copies all over the South­ east and is getting airplay on college stations across the U.S. Joining Dillon Fence in Legends will be the Kentucky based band Big Wheel. Yes, Big Wheel, defined as being a melodic but hard driving band, not what your grandpa buys you for your third birthday. Prom a humble beginning in Kentucky, the members of Big Wheel emerged from the bandsThe Ivy Beats and Squirrel Bait. Now guitaristGlomTaylor, bassist Mike Braden, drummer Tom Tompkins and vocalist Peter Searcy deliver a unique brand of powerful rock and roll that will give you goosebumps. Big Wheel like Dillon Fence, records on Mam­ moth records which is based in Canboro, N.C. Mammoth is an independent label that specializes in young upcoming bands like Dillon Fence and Big Wheel. Mammoth has been voted by college radio sta­ tions as being one of the best independent labels in the country. The reputation and success of Mam­ moth should carry Dillon Fence and Big Wheel 10 stardom. Thursday's Dillon Fence and Big Wheel show will definitely be one of the hottest double bills to appear in Legends since Dillon Fence opened for the Connells two years ago. You must defy tradition and go to this show early. Big Wheel is an opening act that will give you your money's worth. Tickets for this A.P.P.S. Stage Shows Presenta­ tion are only $4 in advance for students and will be available at the student union box office. All tickets at the door are $5, and only 1,000 tickets will be sold.

Course of Empire has North Carolina Roots Special to the Appalachian Dallas-based Course of Empire isn't your ordi­ nary rock & roll band. This is a group with a philosophical and moral agenda, named after paint­ ings by 18th century environmentalist artist Tho­ mas Cole, depicting the cyclical rise and fall of industrial civilization, from ashes to ashes anddust to dust. Their's is an apocalyptic vision, using high technology guitar and primitive tribal drums to express the conflict between nature and science that is at the heart of modem society, equally influenced by Eastern philosophers and groups like U2, Killing Joke and the Clash. The roots of the band go back eight years to 1984, when co-founders Mike Graff and since- departed drummer Anthony Headley hooked up in the film department of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, where they shared an interest in ambient video soundtracks. They soon began playing music in the TV studio, and advertised jn local record stores for a vocalist "with an interest in vegetarianism and ideas concerning the mass consciousness," which caught the eye of North Carolina native Vaughn Steven­ son, recently relocated to Dallas from Cali­ fornia. "Vegetarianism is just a symptom of a thought process we all share in the band," says Vaughn. "It's all about individual action. You're never going to stop people from selling meat or killing animals, but you can control where your money goes and what you put in your mouth." The idea that the individual can make a differ­ ence, that the micro can affect the macro, is at the heart of Course of Empire's point of view and music. Live, the band believes in making its audi­ ence part of the show by handing outdrums during the tribal stomp "Thrust," gathering one and all in communal, ecstatic experience that reflects the current interest in getting back to humankind's true nature as seen in such phenomena as the "men's movement." "It's our desire to let go and not try to predict, control and analyze," says Graff. 'These ideas are all clicking in people's heads at the same time for a reason.Stuff like this just means we're all hurting in the same way. Adding bassist Paul Semrad and a second drum­ mer m Chad Lovell, Course of Empire became one Auditorium face lift of Dallas' hottest post-punk outfits, placing the track "God's Jig" on a 1990 compilation of area bands, "Dude You Rock." The track inspired a bidding war between two local labels won by current manager Allan Restrepo's Carpe Diem Records, who signed the group and put them into the studio to record their debut. Remixed and remastered for release on Zoo Entertainment, "Course of Empire," the album, offers aglimpse into theband's mythos and methoda style that incorporates slabs of industrial musique concrete, thunderous metal and pastoral symphonies. Course of Empire is about busting those contra­ dictions wide open-head and heart, life and death, nature and technology, science and religion, yin and yang, and ultimately, rock and roll. One act plays return Special to the Appalachian Special to The Appalachian Snowflakes never stopped theshow, and neither will hammers, buzzsaws or carpenters when the doors to Appalachian State University's Chapell Wilson Auditorium close this summer.The audito­ rium, home to the UniversityTheater, willundergo a $1.3 million renovation project. Performances during the 1992-93 season will be held in I.G. Greer Arena Theater or in Farthing Auditorium. Chapell Wilson Auditorium was originally a high school gymnasium-auditorium built as a WPA project during the Franklin D. Roosevelt adminis­ tration. The well-worn facility has provided avari­ ety of challenges for directors and actors. 'When I first came to Appalachian in 1975, it would snow inside the auditorium," said Dr. Susan Cole, chair of the theater and dance department. "They had to keep the eaves to the building open to keep air circulating, and it would snow right through the lighting positions. Students would come to class with overcoats and mittens on." Theater patrons, too, have braved cold tempera­ tures as noisy heaters are turned off before a pro­ CONSTRUCTION ON CHAPELL WILSON TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER: Chapell Wilson Hall duction begins. will see some changes this summer.

The Appalachian State University Department of Theater and Dance invites you to "An Evening of One Acts."Two one act plays will be presented April 30-May 2 in the Greer Arena Theater with performances beginning at 8 p.m. The first show oftheevening is Romulus Limey's "Sand Mountain Matchmaking," directed by jun­ ior theateT major Darrell King. The year is 1836. Rebecca Tull, played by freshman theater major Amy Lotfy, is a young widow and a newcomer to the community of Sand Mountain. Under pressure to remarry, Rebecca meets with three prospective suitors. Clink Williams played by junior theater major Stephen Corbett, Slate Foley played by sophomore theater major Derek King and Radley Nollins played by sophomore theater major Joseph Daniels. The trouble is, none of the suitors suit her. Rebecca finds help from an elderly woman by the name of Lottie Stiles, played- by junior theater major Jenny Walton. Lottie comes to visit, bring­ ing her grandson, Vester, played by freshmanCarlon Fields. After following Lottie's advice, Rebecca does indeed get rid of her current suitors. She then meets Sam Bean, played by Senior Nick Asa, a local farmer, who is everything that the other suitors are not Assistant director for the show is junior theater major Catherine Van Gorden, and Jim FusseU, a sophomore theater major, is the stage manager.

ONEpagi e6 Students spend some strange summers (CPS)—U.S. colleges are preparing for an on­ slaught of summer scholars who will converge on campuses to attend institutes, take seminars, or leave for unknown parts for the pleasure of learning. Whatever the passion—to track wolves in the wild, climb the ruins of ancient Greece, study computers OT debate AynRand—most likely, there is a summer class doing just that. For example, more than 300 students gather at Cornell University's Ithaca, N.Y., campus, which has one of the largest summer programs of its kind in the U.S., to soak up culture and get away from it all. Cornell invites inquiring minds to study with "Cornell's best professors" and to explore every­ thing from "'50's Culture" to "James Joyce" to the "U.S.S.R.: From Khrushchev to the Common­ wealth" and dozens of other courses. Many campuses offer "total immersion" in a field of study for several weeks at summer insti­ tutes and seminars. For example. New York University's Summer Institute in Public Relations is scheduled for June 7-20. The program for recent college graduates and college seniors is an intense, two-week study in communications.

"There have been many frustrations with the rundown facility," Cole said, -fit's not big enough to house our |growing program, for props or perforUmances." i The renovations, designed by Dr. Frank Mohler, director of theater, will greatly nprove the theater's existing space. The jimp theater's entrance will be moved to what is now the stage area, creating a lobby separate from the academic area of the building Architects for the project are Calloway, Johnson and Moore in Winston-Salem. The project will be bid in May with reno­ vation work to begin sometime this sum­ mer. The project wfll take a year to com­ plete. The plans include new restrooms, new dressing rooms and a green room. The facility's current dressing rooms, Im-ma in the building's basement, are subject to frequent flooding. Students will no longerhave to balance on ladders tohang aid focus theater lights. "One of the nicest features about the reno­ vated theater will be the installation of a catwalk system," Mohler said. "Not only One will hanging lights be much safer, it wfll be quicker loo." "Frank's plan gives us a theater like many of the newest theaters being built in •J* state," Cole said. A proscenium thrust stage will move performances closer to audiences aid will allowa variety of plays to be produced as the stage's width can be vaied from 34 to 50 feet T»r mrim.t, arraigement means the last row of seats will beno more than33 feet from the front of the stage. Seating in the new 344-sea theater will be raised, providing improved sight lines for the audience. While the renovation is in progress, faculty and students will teach, rehearse and performin a vaicty ofloc«ions across campus. The show will go on, but with great difficulty," Cole said.

Everyone contributed and showed that the desire was there to win." Fereshetian alsosighted hissquad's overcoming of a number of injuries to key athletes throughout the season which impeded on the overall perfor­ mance of the team. "I was very pleased with the outcome looking at the injuries and physical setbacks we have dealt with. What could have once been a very easy victory turned into a race that we had to compete and fight for," Fereshetian said. The Mountaineers, according to Fereshetian, gave up anywhere from 50 to 60 points with the loss of Jon Fullen, Linell Johnson, Steve Simandle and Jamie Gnggs, who all missed portions of the season due to various injuries. Second-place finishers for the Apps included Lawrence Lloyd, Joe, Watts, Dustin Alfred and Dennis Gutknecht. LJoydclocked14.81 in the 1 IO­ meter hurdles and went on to finish third in the400meter hurdles with a time of 56.68. Joe clocked 48.43 in die 400 meters, and Watts clocked 10.7 in the 100-meter dash to also finish second. Alfred set a persona] best time of 1:54.36 in the 800-meters and Gutknecht landed 15' in the pole vault good for a second place finish. Ryan Thiel captured the only other third-place finish for ASU as he posted a 6' 4" mark in the high jump. All of the competitors finishing in the top three of their events were named all-conference. Other strong performances for the Mountaineers came from Brian Miesch in the 5,000-meter run with a personal best 14:58.83 clocking to finish fourth. Fifth-placefinishers includedTodd Walters, Alan Whicker, Frank Allen and Neil Broudtx. Walters finished at 9:28.45 in the 3,000-meters and also placed sixth in the 1,500-meters with a time of 4:02.56. Whicker finished in a personal best 3:59.89 to finish fifth in the 1500 meters while Aller clocked 10.7 in the 100-meter dash.

By WILL ROTHSCHILD Sports Editor X11 sat down to pump out the last (thank flod!) sports column of the year, I at firat flight that a sentimental journey back through to year in sports would be the most appropriate upic. But then, like the light bulb above the coyote's head, another idea came to me. (No, it toem't involve ACME.) After all, I'm not that good at all at that notional, sentimental, great job guys, hoorah, boorah crap. Not that I don't like to write ibout great sports stories, and it's not that tore wasn't some awesome athletic feats swmtplished by several Mountaineer teams to year. It's just that my mind started wandering, and I begMi to ponder some of life's greater questions it. Can anyone beat die Bulls? Will the Braves rin the World Series this year? Can anyone tell ik where this column is heading? WeD, the answers to all three questions, in older, are: heck no, probably not, and I doubt it What's my point? Well, my point is, no matter tow hard I tried, I always came back to Mountaineer athletics. No matter how hard I tried to crane up with atother topic, I was always drawn back to ASU gorts. I only wish the rest of the student body would do the same. Attendance and overall fan support of Appalachian athletic teams is pathetic. And I ta't understand why. It's not like the Mounlineers don't field competitive athletic teams. UU is one of the more consistent programs in ie Southern Conference. I mean, what else do you dorks have to do in Boone?

The Mountaineers amassed 161 points on their road to victor outdistancing second-place Marshall who finished with 143.5 points. Follow­ ing the Thundering Herd were Western Carolina with 98, Virginia Military Institute with 86, and East Tennessee State with 77 1/2 points. Furman, ne Citadel and Davidson rounded out the meet with 28, 20 and 11 points respectively. ASU captured seven first-place finishes in the meet as they were led by freshman Jason Dalton who captured two individual wins to be named SC Freshman of the Year. Dalton clocked a personal best 21.6 second, in the 200-meter dash and a 10 6 in the 100 meter dash to finish first. He went on to anchor the winning 4-X-100 meter relay team with teammates Andy Raynor, Leander Watts and Eric Joe. Seniors Rob Grant and Kediick Ford also fin­ ished first for ASU with Ford winning the 110meter hurdles in a personal best time of 14.68 second, and Grant winning the javelin with a throw of 195'. Grant also finished fourth in the hammer with a personal record throw of 153", and Ford finished fourth in the long jump at 20' 4 1/4". Junior Eric Roberts also finished first for theMoun­ taineers in the shot jxit with a personal best heave of 50 101/2 and went on to finish second in both the discus and hammer with respective marks of 155' 9" and 164' 2". Freshman Rich Grant picked up the remaining first as he threw a personal best 168' 1" in the hammer. ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian was pleased with the performance of the Mountaineers. "We set a goal after finishing second last year in both the indoor and outdoor championships to come back and win both this year," Fereshetian said.

WARD Appalachian Editor-in-Chief 1 With the last day of classes coming up this Monday (so soon!), and students beginning to feel the stress of up­ coming exams, the 1991-92 school year is drawing to a close. It's gone by too quickly, but that's not unusual during college years. We stay too busy to try to figure out where the time has gone. It's only after we graduate that we really look back and wonder how in the world our college years could have flown by before we had a chance to ask where they went. (I m graduating next year; I can start being nostalgic early.) This year has had its share of events, both usual and extraordinary. Among the usual were Homecoming and Yofest. Homecoming drew a huge crowd in spite of the 30-degree temperatures, and the ASU football team won a beautiful victory over Mississippi College, who called two timeouts within the last three minutes. Attempting to apply closure to my experience as editor-in-chief of The Yofest is another annual event at ASU; this year I ippalachian is a difficult task to accomplish. The position, the newspaper and didn't attend so I can't really comment on it. One of my tpeople have meant more to me this year than mere words can describe.The lowledge and experience gained from serving this year's staff is so vast I feel writers left me a note referring to the event as "Yofest/ Yofiop/Nofest." Evidently the attendance wasn't very y attempt to communicate its scope will fall tremendously short of accep- high. This is sad. Was it the weather? Did people assume that because it was free, it wasn't going to be any good? Perhaps the biggest event of the year was Unity Week, set up to protest the Ku Khix Klan march in Boone or Easter Sunday. ASU should be commended for the high participation in Unity Week, especially in the Unity March that Tuesday. This year also brought many controversies. On the local level, the controversy over the Student Activity Center, which was really full-blown last year, carried over into this year. Students are still protesting the center, and the administration is stiD planning to build it. W)K> knows if a solution will be reached that will be agreeable to both parties? The controversy will probably cany into next year. Another issue that carried over from last year was the issue of the senior class gift Last year, the Senior Com­ mittee chose as a gift a gazebo, to be built near the administration building in honor of the Broyhill family. This decision sparked many protests, with students de­ manding why the committee chose to build a gazebo that the school didn't need when there were so many other things the school did need. This year, the Senior Committee made a wise decision and chose as a gift a library fund.This fund is desperately needed and will benefit many students for years to oome. Another hotly-debated issue of this year was that of greek housing. Last year, another residence hall. Cone Residence Hall, was designated greek, whereas it had formerly been an all-male residence hall. However, the entire hall was not designated greek; two floors remained independent A controversy was sparked when the greeks requested the two remaining floors of Cone. The greeks want to foster community among their organizations by living together on the same floor. Those against greek housing say it is not fair to take already-scarce housing away from those who aren't members of greek organiza­ tions. Land has been allocated above Broyhill Inn for a "greek village," in which the greeks would live together in lodges. This project would be funded by the greeks. Although this seems to be an effective compromise, the controversy over greek housing will probably continue into next year. Another controversial issue of this year developed from the proposal to make fifth-year students pay out-ofstate tuition whether or not they are actually out-of-state students. This proposal was protested became of the unfairness to people who double-major or whose majors require more hours than can reasonably be completed in four years. Of course, on the state and national level, this is election year.The controversy over who should beelected will take on more importance in the fall, with the general elections coming up in November. However, with prima­ ries on May 5, people have already started voicing their opinions over who should and should not win. Sexual crimes became an issue this year with the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearing in the fall and the William Kennedy Smith trial in the spring. Of course we all know that Clarence Thomas got the position of Su­ preme Court justice, and Smith was declared innocent. However, many people still believe that Anita Hill told the truth whenshe said thatThomas sexually harassed her 10 years ago when they worked together on the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. Patricia Bowman's story has quite a few loopholes; however, several groupsstill commend her forspeaking out, whether she was telling the truth or noL The school year 1991-92 has been aneventful one both on local and national levels. For ASU students it was another year of college, either good or bad, routine or exciting. To thegraduating class of May 1992—good luck in the real world; I hope it's as exciting or more exciting than college has been. For those of us who are returning next year—let's make it another great year. ice. This marks the conclusion of a three-year stint on The Appalachian editorial ard for this aspiring journalist. I have given three years of my life to this wspaper, and can honestly say the experience is one I will never forget, nor aild ever replace. I enjoyed each day, each week, each month and each year, aijoyed each interview, each article and each editorial. It is with a blend of row and joy that I leave. 1 spent most of my three years at the sportsdesk, with a brief period at news, iihen a full year at the desk of the editor-in-chief. I hope I have served each sition well. I have given my all, and hope readers have enjoyed my offerings imuch as 1 have enjoyed tapping them into print, will never forget entering Workman Hall for the first time in the fall of 1989. (boards beneath my feet creaked with every step, just as they do today. This iding will soon be razed to make room for the student union expansion, tag with its demise, its memory will die in the minds of many; however, Mman will always have a fond place in my collection of recollections. Ihave often joked about tradition being the enemy of progress; however, it wth a twinge of sadness that I say goodbye. Although my presence at The jlplachian is far from a tradition, my time here was longer than most, yet taer than a few. The Appalachian will always be a part of me. Mien years have passed and miles separate The Appalachian from me, I will irecall this year, and remember it as my most memorable. I consider this pt's staff my second family. It's a family that I am especially proud to be a tuber of, and I hope others are as well. lue diverse makeup of this year's individual staff members makes one ^mderhow we survived two semesters and nearly 50 issues. Yet this group did than survive; it excelled. • excelled in all areas. The editorial staff excelled; the business staff •tiled; and the production staff excelled.

Good luck and may God bless. he reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. By CHRIS SEXTON Appalachian Staff Writer First, I want to distinguish between greek housing and a greek floor. A greek floor is a floor, consisting mostly of greeks, located in a current residence hall. The greek housing proposal seeks to build a greek village, entirely for greek use. The proposed site for the greek village in­ cludes at least part of the environmental studies area. (Remember the SAC?) The administration, if it accepts the proposal, will lease this land to the greeks for a mere $1.00 per year.Since when can the administration give our land to a stu­ dent organization without the permission of the student body as a whole? Also in the proposal is the declaration that "the uni­ versity will be responsible for site devel­ opment including such items as: road­ ways, surveying land, grading land, sewer lines, electric lines, water lines, phone services, parking facilities and other com­ mon services." The administration will also hire an architect to develop the site and building plans. I wonder where the money is going to come from to do all this. From whose pocket did the administration grab $1,000,000 for the SAC? Yours. The greek village isn't just a couple of greek residence halls—it consists of lodges. "A lodge is defined as a building structure of sufficient size to accommo­ date the needs of the individual organization, including such things as: a social room, chapter room, kitchen, par­ lor room,..." I don't see these things as something an organization could need; I see them as luxuries. How many people do you think one of these lodges might house? 100? 200? A single lodge houses 4 to 8 people. —Jonas Salk, M.D. —Peggy Noonan You know, I was just thinking how the administration ought to give me and seven of my friends a nice piece of land, hire some architects, build us some roads, construct electricity, water and phone lines, give us a parking lot nearby, and help us build a lodge.Then I realized thai only greeks are being considered for that luxury. I guess if I belonged to an organi­ zation with lots of money and rich alumni, the administration might be extra nice to me too. Should greeks alone—only about 10 percent of the student body—decide what happens to the environmental studies area, and where the university's money and resources go? No, the entire student body together should decide what happens to their land, their resources and their money. Call the chancellor;call the vice chancel­ lors; voice your opinion. This brings me to a separate but related issue. Are greek floors a good idea? My first impulse was to support the idea. As a resident assistant, I realize the impor­ tance of community on a floor. On most floors, students begin the year as total strangers, having no commonality beyond location. On a greek floor, stu­ dents begin the year with a common thread; a senseof community is already in place. Greek floors only encourage that sense of community identity which greeks al­ ready seem to feel, and give it a place to flourish. Indeed, if the above argument is correct, why limit ourselves to greek floors? Why not provide floors for all the clubs and organizations at the university? we could have a floor for computer sci­ ence majors,a floor for Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment (S.A.V.E.X a floor for theCollege Repub­ licans, a floor for the Black Student Asso­ ciation, a floor for the women's basket­ ball team. If the value is giving existing commu­ nities a floor to grow on, clubs and orga­ nizations should also have floors of their own. Residence life has expressed open­ ness to the idea of club housing, though they have no system as of yet for imple­ menting it I encourage you to call resi­ dence life if you are interested in forming a floor for your club or organization. My belief is that if greek floors are a good idea, then so are club floors, and that the administration should be promoting the latter as well as the former. But then again, the university sacri­ fices something for greek and club floors. When I moved to East Hall last year. I brought with me a number of stereotypes. One was a stereotype of greeks. My room­ mate last year, and one of my colleagues on R.A. staff, are greek. He helped me overcome my prejudice. Because I've lived m «residence hall I've met people in ROTC, lesbians, business majors, mem­ bers of the wrestling team, members of SGA, Republicans, Socialists, music majors, band members, etc. The Experi­ ence of diversity is one of the most impor­ tant aspects of a college education. The isolation of greeks, or any other group, by segregated floors restricts this experience of diversity. Non-greeks have less and less experience of what greeks are really like, and as such any stereo­ types they carry remain unchallenged. Greek stereotyping of non-greeks is simi­ larly perpetuated. The same dangers ap­ ply to club floors. When every organiza­ tion is isolated to its own satisfaction, what can be gained? The opportunity to experience and leant from difference will disappear. The opportunity to stereotype, to misunderstand, to objectify, to become prejudiced, will grow. In defense of East Hall; The Watauga College program, housed in East, is built around the idea of diverse, interdiscipli­ nary education. One of the central ideas is that there is no distinction between living space and learning space, hence students live in the same building where they "k* classes. Professors' offices are also lo­ cated in East. A significant percentage of East residents are non-Wataugan. East Hall is a model for diversity and integra­ tion—integration of professors into the student living space, of different disci­ plines into single classes, of freshmen rod upperclassmen, of men and women in a co-ed building. Perhaps one day the entire university will be so integrated. Greek/club floors are segregationist, even if a group chooses to isolate itself. If Christians, or blacks,or anyone wanted to segregate themselves for whatever rea­ son, would we, as a public tmiversity, condone such a privatization of suppos­ edly public space? And segregation does not have to be of the minority. Would we allow whites, or heterosexuals, or anyone to segregate themselves for whatever reason? Greek/club floors are equally unac­ ceptable. The question is not, "What are the motives for segregation?** The mo­ tives may be somewhat legitimate. (Strong communities, etc.) The question is, "Do we believe in segregation?" "Does free­ dom in a university mean freedom not to live with people different from us?" In summary, the issue of greek/club floors motivates two main responses. If we accept that greek floors are a good idea, we should also encourage and pro­ vide floors for other clubs and organiza­ tions. However, isolating communities in the university threatens the diversity of individuals which would otherwise en­ rich our college experience. Such isola­ tion alsoperpetuates stereotypes and preju­ dice, and finally, violates the basic prin­ ciples of an integrated society.

Wit is a function of verbal ntelligence; humor is imagination °perating on good nature. L Specialized housing encourages segregation First—everything seems to be back to normal. I'm attending classes, and there have been no further strikes. It's really a bad situation because the students have no choice. They must not argue any further or they will be expelled. Something like 73 students have already been expelled. They ordered all students to sign a "contract" declaring that they wanted to be university students, and would abide by certain rules; if they did not sign, they were "discontinuing" themselves form the university. The 73 who didn't sign the ones who were expelled. They are appealing to a government court, but the court won't listen! They'll do whatever the president wants. It's bad. Let me tell you how wonderful Africa is! It's gorgeous and impossible to explain. I'm so lucky. I don't know if I mentioned him before but one of my professors. Dr. Tim Reynolds, has been really helpful with classes and getting situated. Well, he's a supervisor of a dig that an archaeology student is doing near Dakawa, north of Morogoro— three hours from here. Well, I heard about it and mentioned I'd be interested in volunteering to work at the site. Well, this past weekend I went out there with two other students, Dave Guttenfilder from the University of Iowa and Mark from Oregon and Reynolds. We left Saturday morning and arrived around noon. It's a realh rich site; they've found quartz and decorate pottery from the late Stone Age to the Iron Age. I was so im­ pressed. It's hard to understand something like archaeology until you see it first hand. I was looking at their work, amazed that I truly understood what all that was said and what all those rocks meant. Well, anyway, I couldn't start working this past weekend because this site is being carefully watched and regulated by Tanzanian officials. If I want to touch anything, I must be signed in as a worker. Reynolds is arranging this, and I'm planning to head out again next weekend. Not being able to work turned out to be good because we jumped into the Samurai and went exploring! We went to Morogoro and shopped at the famous Morogoro market. I was there an hour and only visited 5 percent of the market. I found a gorgeous rust and brown tablecloth and curtain set for only S3.00. I've got it all up in my room now. I'm in my permanent room, but no roommate, so I decided to make the most of it I put one of the beds away, moved some furniture in, and now I have my apartment. One desk is my kitchen, the other is for reading and writing. I also bought some ebony carvings and will get a rug and paintings for the wall this week. I even have two chairs. Anyway, after the market we drove around and through the Uluguru mountains. They're the most unique mountains I've ever seen. Not like the See FOREIGN page 10 �The Appalachian. Thursday. Anril If) IQQ? JJL I The Appalachian • Tuesdays and ThursdayTTg^ Foreign Continued from page 9 'Appalachians or the Smokies, they're Just mountains dropped down in the 'middle of flat land. They look like bowling balls on a beach. We all got • thirsty, so we stopped at an outdoor restaurant for some Safaris—African 'beer. I think that you'd like this beer, .Dad, and the bottles are huge—over a "liter, I think. We were sitting there in lawn chairs .next to a garden, with goats and 'chickens scrambling around us and the Uluguru mountain beside us. I told •Mark that he'd better not pinch me and wake me up from this incredible dream. ! After the beers, we headed back to .the site. The student working there, [Kimate, has been given the use of a little adobe house owned by the person .who owns the land. The site actually sits on a huge cattle ranch in the middle [of the bush, and the house is there for •ranch hands. Kimate had planned to live in a tent, but rumors are that .elephants like to knock down the tents there, and he got worried. Thus, the house. It isn't much, but it was a great honor for him to be able to offer us cots, meals and an outhouse. Three guys stayed in one room, three guys in another, and me in the third—the ''living room" really. Not many women go out there to work, so I was quite the novelty. They said I was a breath of fresh, new air and would I please come back?! They were so nice. When we got ready to leave the site, I told Kimate to make out a shopping list for supplies he needed, and we'd bring them the next time we came. He Wrote one out and gave it to Reynolds. It said: 2 kilos rice 1 kilo tomatoes 1 kilo cabbage Please bring Karla! I was so embarrassed... Reynolds has been here a year already, so he knows the country very well. He said that if we got a good early start Sunday morning, that we would head south of Morogoro to Mikumi National Game Reserve. We got on the road by 8:30, so south we headed. We drove a good hour and a half and arrived at Mikumi. In Tanzania, visitors must pay to enter the parks—something like 1600 tsh, but because the Trans Africa highway runs through the park, anyone on the highway doesn't have to pay! So, we drove up and down thf road, looking at the scenery and the incredible wildlife. The animals come right up to the road and to the vehicles. No people are allowed to settle inside the park boundaries, and the animals are everywhere. We saw baboons, wildebeest, elephants (one female had a tiny baby), giraffe, wild pig, impala and tons of zebra. There were so many zebra, they actually got boring. Can you imagine? And the giraffes were so entertaining. They were just as curious about us as we were about them. One giraffe was crossing the road, and we stopped and pulled off the side. It stared at us, then came over to my side of the Samurai, about 20 feet away, and stared at me. It cocked its head one way, then the other. It stared at me, with me staring at it, for 10 minutes. I'm glad I had my camera. I have about a roll of animals staring at me. With classes beginning, I hope I can start to think seriously about my honors thesis. It's all still jumbled in my head. I don't know what I want to do. Between classes, learning Swahili, and the site at Dakawa, I don't know when I'll do it As far as books go, there are a couple that you could look for that I know Problems after an abortion? would be real useful. I don't know the publication date on this. Anything you find on the Quaternary and Tertiary also. The book written here is excellent in particular for the one archaeology class, tut the book situation isn't too bad. The archaeology department is pretty international, and I think that keeps them stocked in their librvy. They just don't have any to sell, and there's only one of each. Cultural anthropology is a different story. Here, all of cultural goes under the sociology department, which is overcrowded and underlibraried. I guess I'll just have to write my own book while I'm here. Real modest, huh? I can't believe it has been five weeks already. It's going to fly by. And so much to do. I have to see Seregeti, Ngorongoro, Kilamanjaro and Olduvai gorge! Well, it'll all fall into place.

COMMENTARY p. 9 ASU star safety NFL bound P-7 THE APPALACHIAN FAIRNESS, ACCURACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE SINCE 1934 Undergrad enrollment is at highest By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor Appalachian State University underpjduate enrollment reached its highest Spring semester level at 9,925 in Spring 1992, according to a memorandum from j„bby H. Sharp, director of institutional search at Appalachian. This figure was up 0.8 percent over Spring 1991. Undergraduate full time jnrollment reached 9,491, up 1.5 percent over Spring 1991. Last fall, graduate enrollment fell by 26 students, and this spring graduate en­ rollment fell by 3.8 percent from last spring to 781. Graduate on-campus full time enrollment fell 0.6 percent to a total of 649. Although graduate enrollment figures across the nation are showing substantial increases attributed to the sluggish economy, Appalachian is not experienc­ ing such an increase. Last semester Sharp said that he is not exactly sure why Appalachian's total graduate enrollment is continuing to go down. Grads walk on May 17 According to the memorandum, enrollment targets for this spring in­ cluded 110 new freshmen, 290 new transfers, 100 new graduate students, and 125 new unclassifieds, for a total of 625 new students. Nine thousand seven hundred and ninety six continu­ ing students and 326 returning stu­ dents were expected. Returning students are students who have been readmitted to the university after at least one semes­ ter "stop out.".The total on-campus en­ rollment target for Spring 1992 was 10,747. high of 10,706 students. Total on-campus full time enrollment also reached a spring semester high of 10,140, up 1J percent over last spring. The spring headcount was 41 students less than the target enrollment of 10,747. The total number of undergraduate women enrolled at Appalachian decreas­ ed from 5,014 last spring to 4,948 this spring. The total number of undergraduate men at ASU increased from 4,760 last spring to 4,900 Spring 1992. According to the piemo, the number of in-state undergraduate students increas­ ed from 8,865 last spring to 8,925 this spring. The number of out-of-state under­ graduates increased by 14 students to 923. The totaloff-campus enrollment of 403 represented a decrease of 48, or 10.6 percent from last spring. The 1991-92 average annual full time enrollment used for budgeting in­ creased to 10,433, or 33 over the gen­ eral assembly's projection of 10,400 stu­ dents. Persistence pays off in job search ASU News Bureau ASU News Bureau Appalachian's spring commencement rill be held May 17. Some 1,069 underpiduate and 164 graduate students ap­ plied to receive degrees from the six de­ gree-granting colleges and schools.

According to the memo, total oncampus enrollment increased by 0.5 percent over Spring 1991, reaching a Spring semester on-campus enrollment appatecMwi Rl* Photo COLD WEATHER STRIKES UNEXPECTEDLY: Below normal tern peratures in Boone over the weekend and into the first part of this week took some people by surprise. High temperatures today are expected to be in the mid 40's, and there is a 50 percent chance of snow mixed with rain. Temperatures are expected to rise a little Wednesday, with highs in the 50's. Persistence and perseveranceare words a soon-to-be college graduate should re­ member when beginning a job search. "It takes anywhere from six to nine months to secure that first career position," said Dr. David Ball, director of Appalachian State University's Career Development Center. "I encourage students to start the process as early as possible." Ball said students are apprehensive about their futures because of uncertain­ ties in the economy. "Nationwide this has been the third consecutive decline in hir­ ing," he said. "There are opportunities out there, but persistence is the key to suc­ cess." According to"Recruiting Trends 199192" by Dr. Patrick Scheetz of Michigan State University, employers responding to this year's survey expect a 10 percent decrease in hiring. Employment op­ portunities in government and the mili­ tary are expected to drop 20.7 percent. Employers expecting to increase hiring of new college graduates this year in­ clude construction and building contrac­ tors (97 percent); glass, packaging and allied products (36 percent); social ser­ vice, religious and volunteer organiza­ tions (29.5 percent); hospitals and health care services (20.6 percent); electronics. computer andelectrical equipment manu­ facturers (20 percent); engineering, re­ search, consulting and other professional services (15.6 percent); textiles, home furnishings and apparel manufacturers (12.6 percent); merchandising and retail­ ing (11 percent); diversified conglomer­ ates (5.6 percent); and accounting firms (5.4 percent). Despite a downturn in the economy, Appalachian graduates continue to be successful in entering the job market. A survey conducted by Appalachian's Of­ fice of Student Development showed an average of 96 percent of the university's graduates during the past five years were employed or in graduate school within nine months of graduation. Students should begin planning for a job search early in their academiccareers, Ball said. "The process begins when you enter college with self-assessment, apti­ tude and ability tests," he said. "Students need to know where they are in relation to what employers are looking for and ask themselves 'How do I develop and mar­ ket my skills?"' Employers are looking for students with good communication, human rel ation and interpersonal skills and good grade point averages. They also want analytical and prob­ lem-solving skills and students whodem­ onstrate leadership skills. "People who have been involved outside the classroom in cocurricular activities have had the chance todevelop leadership skills," Ball said. "Internships can also give you a leg up on the job market." Ball said many students limit their employment opportunities by limiting themselves to a particular geographic lo­ cation. 'T tell students to be flexible in their career plans," he said. Appalachian's Career Development Center offers a variety of programs to help students develop job skills and find employment after graduation. A stu­ dent employment service helpsmatch stu­ dents to part-time job opportunities in the Boone area. Workshops help students develop resumes, polish interview tech­ niques and brush up on their etiquette. Career fairs bring professionals from busi­ ness, industry, education and government to campus to discuss employment oppor­ tunities with students. Recruiters can be found on campus daily from early Sep­ tember through April. An Alumni Career Hotline operated by the center aids gradu­ ates in job searches. "Regardless of theeconomy, there will always becompetition in the job market," Ball said. "The more plentiful the supply becomes, the more selective employers can become. Students need to begin de­ veloping skills employers look for, prior to graduation." Federal Legislation opens recreation opportunities to the disabled ASU News Bureau Tie great outdoors is for everyone— tble-bodied and disabled alike. But plan­ ing must extend beyond curb cuts and tserved parking spaces to ensure that National opportunities areavailable to Pwsons with disabilities. Drs. Wayne Williamsand PaulGaskill, Ppalachian State University leisure studies professors, promote outdoor "creational opportunities for the tabled. Federal legislation requires facilities and programs receiving federal funds be accessible to those with disabilities. The Americans With Disabilities Act, passed in 1990,extends accessibility rights to the private sector as well. But a lackof training means few under­ stand the special needs or capabilities of the disabled. The Uniform Federal Ac­ cessibility Standards and state and local building codes are among the tools used by planners to help ensure accessibility. They recommend using an approach that looks beyond drinking fountain height and restroom stall width. Facilities should also allow persons with the desire for adventure to participate within the limits of their stamina and ability, they said. Persons withdisabilities should be used as consultants on facility planning teams for the unique perspective they can offer on accessibility. "A planner may think that graveled paths and walkways are appropriate, Gaskill said. "But a person in a wheel­ chair knows gravel type and depth may become an additional barrier." Planners should be specific when de­ signing paths or walkways, specifying the use of crushed limestone instead of gravel, Gaskill recommends. Door knobs can shut out those with arthritis or a motor dysfunction. Williams said levers on doors fix that problem. A U.S. Forest Service recreation area which is totally accessible to personswith disabilities is a model forrecreation facil­ ity planners. Balsam LakeRecreation Area in Jackson County features a lodge equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and shower stall, all accessible to handicapped, tr • » trails to the lake suitable for wheelchairs, and walkers and platforms and ramps making fishing areas accessible for an­ glers in wheelchairs. "Recreation areas are only serving a small portion of the potential users," Gaskill said. "All of us will be a person with a disability at some point in our lives," Williams added. "The elderly population is the most rapidly growing segment in our society. As we age, we will have reduced mobility, sight and hearing.

Things that have allowed Food Lion to grow at such a rapid pace and still remain strong include training all employees and identifying those with management abili­ ties early on so these people can prepare early for management positions. According to Smith, looking at a company's stocks can show whether that company is financially solid. Food Lion's financial stability allows it to provide incentives for its employees by offering a maximum profit-sharing plan. "Incentives were designed to really make them focus on the same things the company focuses on so that we all have the same goals," said Smith. Smith suggested that prospective em­ ployees spend some time looking over the company to make sure it is financially solid and get some help in finding this information if need be. "Salary isgSrtthe only thing. Salary is important, but It's so good to find a com­ pany with a gootj benefit plan," Smith said. Simply look for a company you feel good about, he said.

Williams and Gaskill conducted a study of the state's commercial recreation fa­ cilities three years ago. They found ski slopes, trout ponds, charter fishing ser­ vices, rafting and scuba diving compa­ nies, among others, offering recreational activities to those with disabilities. A directory of vacation and travel op­ portunities for the disabled, "ACCESS, North Carolina," is available from the North Carolina Division of Travel and Tourism. Call (800) VISIT-NC.

Club Shows, Ghent is SGA President, Osterhoudt serves as Chairperson of the Judicial Board and Ward is Editor-inChief of The Appalachian. Additionally, Ghent and Ward were given the Appalachian Distinguished Leadership Award due to their ability to meet unique challenges during the year, said Dino DiBemardi, director for the Center for Student Involvement and Lead­ ership. While the Ronny L.

DiBemardi explained why Ward was a recipient for the award: "Kurt's work with the advisor leaving, which left the paper advisorless for the first half of the fall semester, and his work during the summer were challenges he faced." Ghent, who served as SGA Vice Presi­ dent last year, as well as his continued work with student government as presi­ dent qualified him for the outstanding leadership award as well, DiBemardisaid. Other student development awards fell into two categories: leadership recipients and service recipients. The 1991-92 Who's Who recipients were recognized as well.

Bachel Stephens, president of Phi Mu sorority, said Peters, while addressing the sorority during his campaign, said he had served as president at the community col­ lege "about a month" due to a "lapse of term"by then-presidentTammieStanford.

The gallery staff was painstakingly trying to hang up the various artistries that were chosen for this year's Under­ graduate Art Expo. Hope Barwick managed to get the three sections of plexiglass up into the plaster tiles, and the vinelike rope that runs between them began to untangle itself like a sleepy snake, but still she grimaced. "It looks different every time I hang it," she said. According toTerry Suhre, the gallery'sdirector, the Art Expo is "a celebration of the work of the undergraduate art program." Exhibiting their workis an exit criteria for many art majors, so this Expo gives them an opportunity to fulfill that requirement Over 300 pieces were submitted to be consid­ ered for exhibition, but only 70 were actually chosen to be exhibited. All four classes, from freshmen to seniors, have art in the show, and class awards were given to the best work in each class. The freshman award went to Julie Ward for her work called "Crayons." The sophomore award was won by AmySeidule for one of her untitled charcoal pieces. The junior award wasearned byCandace Randall for her silver point drawing entitled "Dancers."

Business honor society holds final banquet The banquet has not been held in the last few years and is a renewed awards ceremony Comparison of food prices The guest speaker at the ceremony was Wayne Duncan, a graduate of Appalachian. Duncan is the executive vice president of the First Citizens Bank and Trust Company. He is also the chairman of the College of Business advisory council. According to Mary Frances Fitzgerald, the 199192 vice president of Beta Gamma Sigma, the ban­ quet is a tradition that has begun again after having stopped for many yCafs. "This is the first time we've had a banquet since I've been at Appalachian," said Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock, Dean of College of Business. "This is kind of a 'test run' to see what kind of response we'll get. Hopefully we'll have a tremendous re­ sponse." Beta Gamma Sigma is a national society, and members havelifetime memberships.Appalachian became a member of the honor society in Decem­ ber 1977. The society continues to benefit students even after they have graduated. Being a member of Beta Gamma Sigma helps to enhance business connec­ tions. Scholarships are also available, and mem­ bers may attend national seminars. According to Fitzgerald, the seminars offer members "connec­ tions with other people who are also businessoriented." The respect that members get for being in the society may be the biggest benefit. "Beta Gamma Sigma is the equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa, which is well respected," said Fitzgerald. "It really says something about you when you say you're in the society." A business advisory council made up of 19 members was present at the induction ceremony. The council reviews Appalachian's programs and, according to Peacock, "stays on top of the business world." The council will be hosting tables and will have a chance to meet with students as well as the students' friends and families. "You never know what kinds of doors could be opened," Peacock said. To be inducted into the society, business stu­ dents must rank in the upper 5 percent in the junior class. Graduating seniors must rank in the upper 10 percent in their class, and graduate students must be in the upper 20 percent. "Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest honor that we can bestow on students," said Peacock. "A lot is expected of the students; we expect them to uphold the ideals and ethics of the society." Faculty helps environment By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer On April 30, one of six faculty nominees will receive a $1,000 award for his/her environmentrelated research. The funding for this award has been contributed by Wachovia Bank of North Carolina in WinstonSalem. Wachovia Bank contributed $2,500 to Appala­ chian State University's Program for the Study of Environmental Change (PSEC). This is the first year that a faculty member has been awarded for his/her environmental research. The PSEC hopes to continue to make this an annual event. The award luncheon will take place in the Chancellor's Dining Room, and Chancellor Tho­ mas isexpected to make a few remarks at this time. SaraM. Massey, vice president of Wachovia Bank of North Carolina will present the award to the recipient. The nominated researchers and their studies are: Gary Cooper, "A Public-Public Planning Partner­ ship: Avery County, N.C.;" William B. Glenn, "Depolymerization of Commercial Thermoplastic Polyesters"(recycling plastics); Howard S.

STAGE SHOWS Presentation �7 \ SPORTS Season full of surprises JY SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The 1992 Major League Baseball season has juen underway just a few short weeks, but ,lready there has been a barrel of surprises that Ms thrown a monkey wrench into the predic­ ts of baseball experts everywhere. Can anyone explain the startling turnaround in he performance of Atlanta's two-sport standout Deion Sanders? Sanders was handed the Braves' «nter field job due to Otis Nixon's drug wspension and has responded in grand fashion. Though he has cooled off of late, "Prime fime" still sported a .356 batting average through Saturday, good enough for fifth best in tie National League. Not too shabby for a lifetime .183 hitter. Smders also tops the senior circuit in triples (J) «nd total bases (48) and rates among the league leaders in runs scored; hits, stolen bases md slugging percentage. Now that Nixon is back as Atlanta's lead-off tun, Sanders has been shifted to the number-two spot. But when slugging rightfielder David Juatice returns from an injury, Braves skipper lobby Cox has a decision to make: sit Sanders ttNixon? With his play so far, Sanders may be inking the decision for him. The Braves themselves are off to anything but I ihot start, however. The defending NL champs (currently reside in West basement with an 8-1T record. The good news for the Braves is even with their bad start they are just two-and-a-half juries out of first. The surprising Houston Astros, who have played 15 of their first 18 games in the friendly |confmes of the Astrodome, have taken the early kid in the division race ahead of Cincinatti and San Diego. The West just might be baseball's most balanced division and should be the most exciting title chase. Two-time defending champion Pittsburgh wis discounted from the NL East race due to the defection of Bobby Bonilla and the trade of 20jime winner John Smiley. But all the Pirates kiwe done is get off their best start in over 20 years (14-4) and open up a four-and-a-half game ktd on the pack. The Bucs have got the job done with pitching, defense and solid play off the bench. It looks like die experts have written Pittsburgh off too soon. On the other hand, perhaps too much hoopla was awarded the New York Mets in the feseason. Free agent signings Bobby Bonilla id Eddie Murray have failed to produce, and "to-time AL Cy Young Winner Bret iaberhagenis off to a dreadfully slow start. ( But '""ember, this is an even year.) New York's defense has been shaky to put it kindly, atrocious "describe it truthfully.

Get ready, because happen. \ v THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, April 28,1992 Four cage recruits join App program By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State concluded its 1992 basket­ ball recruiting campaign and announced the addi­ tion of four new players to the program. The freshman class of 1992-93 will actually be five players. Geoff Richards, a 6'8" forward who joined the program last season, received a medical redshirt after sustaining a knee injury early in the year. Richards will have four years of eligibility remaining and will join the freshman class of 199293. As for the four new players to the program, three are perimeter players. Billy Shepherd, a 6'2" point guard from Bir­ mingham, Ala. signed a letter-of-intent during the fall signing period. As a junior. Shepherd directed Ramsay High School to a 27-7 record and a fourth place finish in the state of Alabama. Regarded as a pure point guard.Shepherd is a good distributor of the basketball. Brian Hege, 6'2", is oneof two in-state newcom­ ers. Hege, a star for Ledford High School in Thorn asville, averaged 22.5 points per game as a senior. The shooting guard was an all-state pick in both his junior and senior seasons and led his team to state runner-up honors this year. Hege finished his high school career as the eighth all-time scorer in North Carolina history. Rob Arnold, a 6'0" point guard from Monroe, will join the team as anon-scholarship player in the fall. Arnold was recruited but will not receive a grant. Arnold averaged 22.6 points per game as a senror for Piedmont High School and is regarded as a dangerous three-point shooter. ASU Head Coach Tom Apke likened Arnold to former Appalachian point guard Kemp Phillips. "It's a good class," Apke said."We've improved our outside firepower with the addition of Arnold, Hege and Shepherd who are all good perimeter shooters. Shepherd and Arnold both have a chance to become good point guards and with the gradua­ tion of Rodney Peel we needed to bolster that part of the team." Joe Sabato, a rising senior, is the only true point guard on the team. Jeff Williams, a rising junior, played point guard his freshman season but was moved to the wing this year. Consequently, Apke and his staff are faced with the problem of having only one point guard with collegiate experience in the past year on next year's squad. Shepherd and Arnold will likely have the opportunity to move into the regular rotation next season. The only frontline player ASU signed is 6'6" forward Tremayne Rooks. Rooks averaged 16 points and nine rebounds per game for East High School in Memphis, Tenn. this season. Rooks was named all-district for his efforts in leading his team to a 26-5 record. With the loss of starting center Tim Powers and starting power forward Steve Spurlock, Rooks will be needed right away up front for the Mountaineers. Ricky Nedd, a 6'7" rising junior, and 6'7" rising sophomore Chad McClendon are the only returning Mountaineers over 6'6". Rooks and Richards will both provide quality depthfor ASU up front next year, and both have the chance to develop into future starters. 'Tremayne Rooks is really going to be a good player," Apke commented. "Geoff Richards with the year of maturity and development has the chance to become a good player and a big contribu­ tor. Richards has become a very important part of next year's freshman class. "It's hard to say how quickly any player might step in and play. For the first time next season, practice starts on Nov. 1 instead of Oct. 15. So, we have lost two weeks of preseason practice time, and how that will impact the development of new players nobody knows yet." Apps fall in SC tourney ASU beats Marshall, loses to Bucs, Citadel Appalachian Staff Reports Appalachian State dropped two of three contests in the Southern Conference Baseball Tournament last weekend in Charleston, S.C. In first round actionon Thursday, the Mountain­ eers fell to EastTennessee State 1-0. ASU received good pitching for the contest but could muster only three hits off ETSU pitching. The Mountaineers bounced back from their open­ ing setback to outscore Marshall 8-7 on Friday. Appalachian State trailed 7-5 but scored three runs in the final two innings to take the contest. The Mountaineer bats finally got untracked against the Thundering Herd. Appalachian erupted for 11 hits off three different Marshall hurlers. Apptltchitn Photo by Troy Horack MOUNTAINEER BASEBALL SEASON ENDS: Appalachian State concluded its baseball season last weekend in Charleston, S.C., at the Southern Conference Tournament. The Apps won one out of three games to finish the year at 17-34. The Thundering Herd junjped outjp a 6 0 lead off staHqr Dapny y/jjlg. Will*l»sje4 just three-and-a-third innings and was shelled for 10 hits and six runs. Appalachian rallied to close the gap to 6-5 after the sixth inning. Dave Gonsiorowski relieved Wills and allowed just one hit and one run over the final 5 2/3 innings to post his second victory of the season. Rick Paugh gave up the game-winning run in the bottom of the ninth and was saddled with the loss for Marshall. Third baseman Jody Boyles paced the Moun­ taineer offensive attack with three basehits and three RBIs. Outfielder Joe Bernard also banged out two hits and scored a pair of runs. Will Shellman and Randy DeBruhl also delivered two hits apiece for ASU. Appalachian State was then eliminated from the tourney on Saturday, when the host Bulldogs of The Citadel scored a 12-3 rout over the Mountain­ eers. The Citadel hammered out 17 hits off five ASU pitchers on the day and also benefitted from three Appalachian errors. The Bulldogs took command of the game early by scoring two runs in the first inning. Tony Skole and Gettys Glaze belted out run-scoring hits for The Citadel. The Mountaineers scored a run in the fifth to slice The Citadel's lead in half. DeBruhl led off the inning with a single and scored on Boyles' double. The sixth inning proved to be the downfall for the Mountaineers. The Bulldogs exploded for five runs on six hits in the frame and vaulted to a 7-1 advantage. The Bulldogs punched out six straight safeties in the inning off of three ASU hurlers. ASU countered with two runs in the bottom of the sixth to pull within 7-3. Brent Card well doubled home Mike Ramsier and Bernard for the Moun­ taineer*'final two runs of the evening. The Citadel was led by the quartet of Skole, Glaze, Vic Correll and Jermaine Shuler, who recorded three hits apiece. Bernard belted out two hits for the Apps. Steve Basch scattered six hits and three runs to pick up the victory. Chris Vullo gave up four runs over five innings and accepted the loss for Appalachian. The Mountaineers conclude the season with a 17-34 record. DeBruhl capped off the season by being selected for the All-Southern Conference team, the only App player chosen. Debuhl finished the year with a .202 batting average, three homers and 10 runs batted in. Western Carolina shortstop Matt Raleigh was tabbed the SC's player-of-the-year, while The Citadel's Glaze was named the loop's top pitcher. Furman's Shane Spear was honored as the conference's top freshman, and Western Carolina's Keith LeClair was named coach-of-the-year. ASU's Dandridge picked in fifth round by Seattle By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State's Gary Dandridge, a threeyear football starter at free safety, was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fifth round of Sunday's National Football League draft. Dandridge will fly to Seattle next week for the team's minicamp. "I'm very' pleased," Dandridge said Monday morning. "I didn't have any expectations. I just wanted to hopefully go on the first day (of the draft), and I'm just glad the waiting is over. The process of getting drafted is a lot tougher than the draft itself." Dandridge was rated as the fifth best free safety in America before his senior season by NFLdraft ana­ lyst Mel Kiper. By draft time, Dandridge's stock had fallen, and Kiper rated him 15th-besL Appalachian State secondary coach Joe Johnson remarked that part of that is due to the fact that Dandridge played with nagging injuries much of the year. "I think the key thing (for Dandridge to make an NFL team) is that he's got to get back in top physical shape," Johnson said. "For two-thirds of last season he played at about 75 percent. At full speed and top form, there is no doubt that he can play at that level." Dandridge is regarded as a strong safety pros­ pect in the NFL, meaning he will have to make the move from free safety, where he was a two-time first-team All-Southern Conference selection and a third-team All-American selection in his senior year. At 6'2", 220 pounds, NFL scouts were most impressed by his size and physicaUool^^^^ "The majority of people that scouted him and evaluated him felt like he's going to be a strong safety," Johnson said. "He's physical enough to play there, but he might notbe quick enough to play free safety." "I really don't know what their (Seattle's) defen­ sive backs are looking like," Dandridge explained. "Seattle is one of the few teams that I didn't familiarize myself with. I have talked with them, and they want to look at me at strong safety first and maybe free safety later. But I am going in at strong safety." IMiWi Dandridge played in both the East-West and Blue-Gray all-star games following his senior season. The Bristol, Tenn. native wrapped up his collegiate career with six interceptions and 16 pass breakups. Dandridge is listed as the eighth alltime tackier in ASU history and averaged 6.7 tackles per game for his career. Steve Wilks, a two-year starter at comerback, may join Dandridge in the NFL ranks. Wilks was impres­ sive in several workouts for NFL teams. As of Monday, Wilks was rumored to be a potential late-round draft pick. "Steve will be a guy that will make it," Johnson said of Wilks' chances to make an NFL roster. "I would be very surprised if Stevedidn't makeit with somebody." Wilks had a great senior season, when he led the team with 17 pass breakups and caught the eye of several NFLscouts. The senior from Charlotte was most impressive in workouts for Seattle and Min­ nesota, when he ran a 4.5 in the 40. The general consensus is that should Wilks not get drafted, he will certainly be picked up as a free agent. DANDRIGE PICKED BY SEAHAWKS: Appalachian State senior Gary Dandridge was drafted in the fifth round of Sunday's NFL draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Dandridge, a three-year starter at free safety for ASU. will be in Seattle next week for the team's mini-camp. �The Appalachian TU,^AY Anrinft JOQQ Problems.., after an abortion?

Crime rates have gone up tremendously in the past 25 years. In the state of North Carolina, a murder occurs every 17 hours. In Georgia, the rate is every 12 hours; in the state of New York, every four hours. In the United States as a whole, a violent crime is committed approxi­ mately every 20 minutes. Drug use has increased. The use of drugs became more popular in the '60s; however, drug crimes were virtually unheard of until the past decade. Cocaine and crack, the form of cocaine which made its appearance in 1986 and killed basketball star Len Bias, are especially highly addictive. Trying the drug even once causes a physical and psychological addiction that cannot be shaken, and the addict will do anything—including murder—to get more money for the drug. Cocaine has been dubbed "the rich kid's drug" because of its high cost. Marijuana and cocaine are grown in Latin America; heroin and opium are grown in Asia. The extreme op­ pression in these countries causes the citizens to turn to drugs as a means of income, as a way to feed their families. The soil in South America, for example, is very poor, and the farmers that comprise most of thecontinent' s population have a hard time supporting themselves and their families by growing vegetables due to the high rate Many students enjoy the advantages of on-campus housing. Many like the mvenience of being close to academic buildings, and many enjoy the liendships and bonds established when living on a hall with approximately 30 lber students. Some even enjoy the noise. However, only freshmen are guaranteed this enjoyment. Only freshmen are paranteed on-campus housing. Freshmen are required to live on campus, iliile upperclassmen are often forced to seek housing elsewhere. Some upperclassmen desire to live on campus. Many of those who do are laced on a waiting list, dependent on other students choosing not to attend. on the waiting list are in a precarious situation. They want to live on ampus, yet they are not guaranteed housing. They must make a decision, taild they wait'on the list, or should they search for alternative housing?

However, marijuana and cocaine will grow in any type of soil, and the drug longpens will buy the plants at high prices. Farmers make much more money this way than they do struggling to grow veg­ etables in poor soil. A starving farmer needing to feed his family may turn to raising marijuana or coca plants out of desperation. However, the root of the problem does not lie in Latin America or Asia.These countries would make no money off drugs if they couldn't sell to the United States. The root of the problem lies in what makes U.S. citizens turn to drugs in the first place. The rich have the money to buy the drugs. Rich adolescents often turn to drugs out of unhappiness, boredom, or need for the attention and love they may not be receiving at home. The poor turn to drugs to escape oppression. Selling a bag of twoor three crack rocks is an easy way to get $25-50. The possibility of anest no longer deters criminals. In fact, those who are homeless and don't know where their next meals are coming from may actually see advantages in going to jail—at least they know they will be getting a hot meal. Jail cells are also air-conditioned and come complete with color television. Also, those arrested for drug crimes can feel fairly certain they won't be in jail for long. They come up for parole quickly and are back out on the streets, usual­ ly back on drugs again, fails are not places of rehabili­ tation. It is not the job of jailers to rehabilitate the prisoners. There is no simple answer to the crime problem.Some have suggested tougher laws and longer jail sentences. However, along with the high crime rate, prison over­ crowding has become a major problem in the United States. We do not have any more space in existing prisons to house more criminals, and we do not have money to build more prisons. Boot camps for youthful offenders have also been suggested. These may work for some criminals. How­ ever, many will be back on the streets as soon as they leave the boot camp. The answer to the crime problem lies in prevention. We need to concentrate on preventing crimes before they happen more so than delivering the consequences of crimes that have already occurred. All adults in this society have a responsibility to help prevent crime. Many violent crimes arecaused by drugs, and drug use often begins at an early age. Therefore, those who work with children and teenagers have more of an influence on the problem where it begins. Programs such as HeadStart, which helps underprivi­ leged preschoolers get a "head start" in school, is one such program aimed at preventing problems that arise from getting behind in school and getting discouraged. Another program allows inner-city students to go to a center after school and on Saturdays and play games such as pool. This program is designed to keep these students off the streets those afternoons. The breaking down of the American home is a major contributing factor in drug use and violent crime. Many children in poverty are neglected by the parents—they are not given any love, guidance or support. These children grow up to believe that nobody cares about them. They turn to drugs, hoping to find love there. Their drug use leads to crime. Nothing can take the place of the love of family. Thq is what makes a solution to the drug and crime problem so hard—children who are starving for love are often the ones who turn to drugs and crime. In order to completely solve the drug and crime problem, we would have to go into the home of the criminal. However, another major influence on a child's life isa the school. A good teacher can make all the difference in the world. Educators, more than any other professionals, have a special responsibility in the prevention of drug; crimes. A teacher whoencourages and respects hisor hef students plays a major role in crime prevention by helping students feel good enough about themselves not to want to turn to drugs. Yes, we need to deal with the crime problem and the criminals, as they are now by imposing tougher sen-! tences. However, we also need to get to the root of thef crime problem—the reasons people turn to drugs in the first place. If we can attack the problem at the roots through prevention, we will be much further on our way. to a drug- and crime-free society.

Wait a minute, I thought Jesus had stood me up? "Out there?" I said. "Yes," he replied, and tears began to well up in his eyes. "There are so many of them. They're hurting, and they're frus­ trated, and I don't want them to be.

It hasn't been as bad as I expected but it has rained a lot. I think I made the right choice coming to this country, especially for the whole school year. It has worked out really well because almost everyone speaks English, the school is in a good location in Europe and it is neat to experience the cultural differences. I am living in a student "flat" which is only about five minutes from the university by bike. There are 18 students on our floor (five girls and 13 guys), and they are all Dutch. The rooms are OK, and I'm living by myself. I feel lucky that I am living here because most of the foreigners are living together on the top floor of my building. They don't have all of the benefits that I do like the experience of living with Dutch people and having some things like our washing machine, cook groups (where one person buys and cooks dinner for the people in the group once a week), telephone system (ours is a ticker system while theirs is a pay phone), and our beverage system (where the distributor brings drinks to us—it saves us from having to go to the store so often). Some other foreigners are spread out and living closer to the center of town with families or Dutch students. I have adjusted well, and everyone is Luxembourg and Paris.

I couldn't believe it when I saw him! I shook his hand and got a picture of it I also saw an Italian pro-basketball game and a Communist march opposing some legislation. Just when we thought Communism was dead we saw all of these supporters. It was so hard to believe. Some other recent trips were to Germany where we visited Cologne, and this past Monday we went to Dusseldorf. There was a big Christmas market there so we did a lot of shopping. The whole town was decorated for the occasion. I have also been to a lot of towns throughout Holland. Last week we went to Amsterdam with our Dutch culture class. We took a bike tour around the city to see the different types of architecture. It was interesting to see the different styles designed by famous architects of the Amsterdam school. I understood what you meant in your letter about the young women from Thailand that ended up as prostitutes. Dutch people have told me that a lot of Asian women who were promised a better life in Holland were forced into prostitution because they could not find any jobs here since they couldn't speak the language and had no skills. It does seem strange that the Dutch allow these things to happen despite some of their conservative and conformist attitudes. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Even though nobody celebrates it here, all of the Americans got together here and had a big feast We had too much to be thankful for to skip this tradition. Each one of us cooked a typical Thanksgiving food and brought it to an American girl's house. We even ate a turkey. It all came together like a potluck meal, and we even saw the Thanksgiving Day parade on CNN. On Dec. 5, everyone got together to celebrate Sinterklaas. We all exchanged names, bought a small gift for each person and wrapped it in a creative way and wrote a poem about the person. It is fun because you can talk about all of the bad things that person did or all of the things that annoy you in a joyous way. I think I will start this tradition in America. I am planning on staying with my brother in Bulgaria over the Christmas break from Dec. 20 to Jan. 17. It is a lot cheaper than traveling back to America, and I think I will have a great time there. We plan on doing a lot of skiing and sightseeing. George McMahon ASU Box 15083 �JUL The Appalachian Tiwtfay.

The walk, which began at the Duck fond Field, continued until the group nched Sanford Mall. There, the marchjjlinked arms and sang "We Shall Over| June" in unison with the accompaniment I of the Black Student Association Gospel Choir. "Ugly things are going to be happening about a week from now," said Willie Fleming, director of multicultural affairs. Fleming went on to suggest reaching out to another person of a different race during this time and "stepping outside of our four walls." SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy said, "Whenever a negative comes into a community, you want to combat that with anegative." He added that when the group was first deciding what to,do about the Klan march, they thought about ignoring "We needed to do something so stu­ dents can experience a positive thing," Murphy said. "But now when we look back at this event (the march), we can see we did something positive." Student Amy Lee spoke at Sanford Mall, quoting civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I Have A Dream" speech. "I feel the civil rights movement died with him (King). There is more prejudice and white supremacy groups growing to­ day," Lee said. "However, at ASU we just don't see it (prejudice) that much." Fleming said he felt that problems could ^ wived by love.

KKK marches in Boone on Easter brings message Chris Childs, spokesperson for envimmental action group, Greenpeace, taught hope to several hundred atten­ tats at the April 14 speech at Farthing Auditorium, telling the crowd, "You can •ike a difference." Childs told thecrowd thatchanging the mrld is possible with hope by using K*eral Greenpeace stories to illustrate liechanges that have already been made. The audience was also presented with mextensive slide presentation in thebackpound, which showed a variety of land|scapes and Greenpeace activities. Childs identified Greenpeace's two fundamental principles, non-violence and Staring witness to the truth. Both of the pnnciples came from the Quakers, ac­ ting to Childs. "We have an absolute commitment to nonviolence," Childs said. He did go on toy, however, that the group is confrontaonal but in a nonviolent way. In Greenpeace's 20 year history, one Ktivist has died as a result of his work "ih the group.

It's the only thing there's just too little of," Fleming said, leading the crowd in a chant. Other speakers included Boone mayor Velma Burnley and ASU Chancellor John Thomas. Thomas said that Appalachian stands committed to unity, thanking the march­ ers for celebrating and demonstrating that commitment to diversity. "Even in a town like this, you confront prejudice, bigotry and hatred," said Mayor Bumley. She went on to add the Boone community respects diversity, and the march symbolizes whatshe feels the com­ munity stands for. By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer \ The Christian Knights of The Ku Klux Klan marched this past Sunday through the towns of Boone and Blowing Rock. The demonstration started in Boone at 4 p.m. and included a parade and speeches made by the leaders of the rally. The crowd became highly responsive due to the inflammatory remarks of the Klan speakers concerning abortion, gay rights and their opinion that "blacks and drugs go together." The responses varied from songs like "Jesus loves the little children," to out­ right arguing and name calling on both sides. All questions asked by the crowd were avoided by the Klansmen. Appttrchltn Photo by Tray Horacft KLANSMEN SHOUT BELIEFS THROUGH REBEL FLAGS: The Christian Knights of the Ku Klux Klan marched though Boone on Easter Sunday.The Klan was confronted by protestors, some of whom came armed with anti-klan posters during the Klan's membership drive. Approximately 30-40 Klansmen par­ ticipated in the march, including women and children, speaking to a crowd of about 300 Boone citizens and ASU stu­ dents. Because of disruptive behavior of the crowd and time restrictions placed on the demonstration by the town committee, the Klan was escorted out of Boone by state troopers by 5:30 p.m. The Klansmen went as far to refer to "the university over here" as a "bed of vipers" and "demons and devils." The crowd was also warned, "You are all going to hell if you do not turn from your godless ways, because anation with­ out God can not long prosper." The Klansmen continued on to attack "Gayism" and the need for prayer in schools. They were of the belief that "we should put prayer in school and take sex education and put it back in the home." Filling their speech with various racist remarks and referring to minorities as inferior only made the crowd angrier and spuned their responses. The Klan also attacked Black History Month, the celebration of Martin Luther King's birthday and the National Asso­ ciation for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). The NAACP had posted a sign on highway 421 welcoming the Klan to Boone. When questioned about their desire to march in Boone and Blowing Rock on Easter Sunday, the Klan replied that they had as much right and privilege to march in these two towns as anyone else, and that they had never visited the moun­ tains before and thought that it was about time. Appalachian Staff Reports "Right now our two most important goals arerecycling andeducating thecam­ pus," said Tom Eure. "Recycling is our main goal." A recycling booth will be set up outside the student union today until 3 p.m. as a part of Earth Week. Eure said SAVE works closely with EIC, an environmental issues committee composed of concerned professors and students. One main project of the ASU environ­ mental groups is the renovation of the steam plant. "The steam plant is a major polluter in this area. We need to change it fast," said Eure. "We also are still talking about the SAC (student activity center) because we don't want to see it built." SAVE, which meets once a week in East Hall, sponsors clean-ups and makes plans on how best to inform people and make things change. EIC meets every other Thursday in Rankin Science building. Anyone is invited to attend meetings for both groups. This year, the April 22 celebration is closely linked to the Earth Summit, also known as the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, a 12day conference in Brazil slated for June 1-12 that has been widely publicized on U.S. campuses. "Earth Day has become more like an 'Earth Week,'" said Denise Greene, a spokesperson at Earth Day USA head­ quarters in New Hampshire. Many activi­ ties started in March and will continue until the Summit convenes in June, she said. "Our slogan is 'Make Every Day an Earth Day,"' said Greene. "Our goals are educational. We want people to make changes in their daily lives, like recycling more, using less water, driving less, and shopping environmentally." 'ack of environmental concern or "•aion.

ASU studentsare also celebrating Earth Week with several different activities. SAVE, Students Actively Volunteering for the Environment, sponsored a march last night that went from the Duck Pond Field to Sanford Mall. When the march­ ers reached Sanford Mall, a band spoke and the crowd heard from speakers. handcuffing themselvesto harpoons "haling vessels to hanging banners to The police force during both marches was formidable. About 85 armed town police, state troopers, undercover officers and canine units were on hand to make sure no one got out of line whether they were Klansmen or crowd. There was a watchful eye over the crowd as policemen with sniper rifles watched the crowd from their stations overhead on tops of downtown Boone buildings. Due to the disruptive nature of the crowd, led by the students, the Klan was not able to continue effectively as a orga­ nized effort in their endeavor to re­ cruit. They marched to the gravel lot across from Sollecito's Restaurant and were es­ corted out of town because the parking lot was becoming flooded with the music of Public Enemy, a popular rap group, from a nearby house. Student David Nichols remarked that "It (the march) was like watching a dying species, because hate is on the way out." The two Klan marches were quite dif­ ferent from each other. The march in Blowing Rock was covered by two televi­ sion crews and 10 newspapers. By JEFFERSON STEIN Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University is now in the process of raising approximately $100,000 for a new voice registration system which will be first used for the registration of spring classes in 1994. This proposed voice system will allow students to register for classes from a touch-tone phone from any location. The student must type in his or herconfiden tially selected personal indentification number to enter the system. The procedure will be very similar to that of a bank teller machine. Associate Registrar Don Rankins said that it is im­ portant to note that, 'This system is not replacing the on-line withoperator, rather just making it more convenient to register during the periods of time we are not staffed." Some students still feel that $100,000 is still quite a bit of money to fix some­ thing that's not broken. "The system is working just fine and to pay that much for registration serviceis just ignorant," stated Sheny Cecil. The proposed voice response system would include more than just registration capabilities, it would also be able to ac­ cess the students to financial aid informa­ tion, student accounts, admission infor­ mation, grade updates or changes and have a calendar of general events notify­ ing students of drop dates or letting them know if representatives from corpora­ tions will be in recruiting. Satellite broadcasts promoting the Earth Summit have appeared on many U.S. campuses, and one two-hour broad- Some students say they are also wor­ ried that voice registration will end up like UNC-Chapel Hill, a location which has had some problems with the system. "What's the point? The phone lines are still going to be busy. I have friends at Chapel Hill, and they have told me that it really doesn' t speed upthe process,"stated ASU student Tom Needham. Rankins replies to this by saying that this would be a totally different situation See VOICE page 4 cast is scheduled for April 26, the last day of Earth Week. Another broadcast will cover the summit from Brazil. Student environmental groups are being lobbied by the National Wildlife Federation to write letters to encourage U.S. involvement in the Summit. On April 9, Earth Day USA president Bruce Anderson presented over 700 peti­ tions representing thousands of signa­ tures to the Council on Environmental Quality in Washington, urging President Bush to attend the conference. At the University Iowa, Victor Arango, a member of the United Nations Association-USA, a group heavily in­ volved in environmental education, says that Earth Day and the Earth Summit have sparked the imaginations of many stu­ dents. "We're putting signs on spots where people have worn a trail through a yard to cut corners that says, 'How Would You Like Someone To Walk on Your Wounds? Mother Earth,"' said Arango. "They'll be catchy, like one we are posting on bus stops that says 'Thank You for Using Mass Transportation. It's Good For Me. Mother Earth.'" Another one we are posting on trees. Touch Me. Feel Me. 1 Am Alive. Mother Earth,'" he said. Other campuses are celebrating with visits from environmentalists of world­ wide acclaim.

Students apologize (CPS)—Two Harvard Law School stu­ dents who parodied the feminist views of a slain legal scholar have apologized, saying they now realize the article was tasteless and offensive. "We realize that it was very wrong to write theparody,"co-authors Craig Coben and Ken Fenyo, members of the presti­ gious Harvard Law Review, said in a statement. The students also said they apologized to Mary Joe Frug's husband, Gerald, a professor at the Harvard Law School. They added that they did not mean to distribute the article on the anniversary of her death. Frag, a professor at New England Law School, was stabbed to death April 4, 1991, a few blocks from her home in a wealthy Cambridge neighborhood. Po­ lice do not have any suspects. In March, the Review published aposthumous article by Frug called, "A Postmodern Feminist Legal Manifesto," which explored the legal theories on vio­ lence toward women. The Associated Pressreported April14 that there was opposition to the publica­ tion of Frug's work by members of the Review, Mid that many on the Harvard Hunter Scholarship Deadline is May IS: Undergraduate students at Appala­ chian State University may apply for the Whitney Elizabeth Hunter Memorial Scholarship.

He has represented Native Americans in Latin America, the United States and in Europe. campus felt the spoof was done in retali­ ation. The parody, titled "He-Manifesto of Post-Mortem Legal Feminism," was in­ cluded in the Harvard Law Revue, an annual spoof of the Harvard Law Review. It was signed by "Mary Doe, Rigor-Mortis Professor of Law" and reportedly ar­ gued that Frug's theories were the con­ coction of paranoid feminists. "The piece offends all standards of decency," said Robert C. Clark, dean of the law school. "(The article) displays a gross insensitivity to the feelings of oth­ ers." The newly elected president of the Harvard Law Review has written a public apology for the article even though she said she had nothing to do with it. Emily Schulman said the parody pub­ lication was the product of third-year law students only, and that she never saw the article before it was distributed at a ban­ quet in her honor. "The responsibility for this fell on pre­ vious presidents," said Schulman, who called the issue "vicious" and suspended publication of the Revue, a long-standing Harvard tradition.

Schulman alsoadmonished theauthors and editors of the Revue, saying theparody would be used by a professor as "an example of hate speech" in his law class, that the Law Review would develop a task force toassess the treatment of women on staff and that money normally used to publish the Revue would be donated to a charity in the name of Mary Joe Frug. Professor Lawrence Tribe, a Harvard Law School scholar, blames the lack of diversity among law professors at Harvard Law School for creating fertile ground for sexist behaviors and attitudes.

Smith joined Salisbury-based Food Lion in 1970 after working several vears for Del Monte Sales Companv. From a position as buyer, Smith worked his way up through the ranks, becom­ ing chief executive offi­ cer in 1986 and chairman of the board of directors in 1990. He graduated from China Grove High School and received a de­ gree in business adminis­ tration from Catawba Col­ lege. Smith is president of the North Carolina Food Dealers, a member of the Food Marketing Insti­ tute and a member of the N.C. Business Council of Management and Develop­ ASU News Bureau 81 I Tom E. Smith, president and chief ex­ ecutive officer of Food Lion, will deliver the Harlan E. Boyles Dis­ tinguished CEO Lecture April 23 at Appalachian State University. Smith's 2 p.m. speech in the Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall will be followed by a 3:15 pjn. reception at the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. The Boyles CEO Lec­ ture Series, sponsored by Appalachian's John A.

Fresh & Salt Water Fish because ASU is planning on having just as many phone lines as UNC-Chapel Hill with about 10,000 fewer students. Rank ins added, "Carolina went from arena (registering) to voice response. They missed the middle step; direct line is very important." Other students feel that there will be a lack of personal approach.With the direct line there is a live operator to assist stu­ dents. Message The voice response system has no such person, only a voice box. Rankins responded to this fear by saving that for those people who like having the per­ sonal interaction this option is still avail­ able. He explained,"Each semester wetry to improve, for the people who use the sys­ tem it will be more convenient, and this will also make it more convenient for direct line registers. Especially during drop/add time." Rankins summed up the voice re­ sponse system by saying the system had three main goals, explaining, "The first goal is to insure that it enhances registra­ tion. Secondly, the system should better serve the miscellaneous information of the campus. Thirdly, by incorporating voice re­ sponse, we will be able to handle indi­ vidual requests more conveniently. This will help both parties involved." ASU SPECIAT DISCOUNT AIRF^k STUDENTS * FACULTY »a|jt 2 EASY STEPS TO SAVING^ 1. Call your airline with your flight H times and get your best price. \ 2.

If it does rain the event will be cancelled. The show is free and starts at 1 p.m. on Duck Pond Field. Get ready for this year's Yofest be­ cause thereare a lotof changes that should make this year's Yofest show worth see­ ing. Free admission is only one of the changes at this year's Yofest that is ex­ pected to attract more students to the outdoor concert event. Yofest will begins at1 p.m.on April 25 at the Duck Pond Field. In the past, the average Yofest ticket has cost around $7. However, this year Yofest will be free to everyone.The con­ cert is open to all students this year. The A.P.P.S.committee hasdecided to tone the event down somewhat by mak­ ing it non-alcoholic and by bringing in local bands. Scaling the event down somewhat this year ^was discussed by Randy Kelly, A.P.P.S. advisor, Dave Robertson, directorof student programs and Marsha Stiles, chairperson of A.P.P.S. Concerts Coun­ cil. "Since the event has been rained out the last four out of five years, we decided it would be a lot easier to cancel a small show than a large show. It is a lot easier on everyone," said Stiles. There will be no rain date for resched­ uling purposes and no alternate sites to have the concert this year. If the weather cooperates, Yofest will take place. If the weather does not cooperate, there will be no Yofest. "We want to promote the non-alco­ holic change in a positive way. In the past, some outdoor concerts have been out of control. We want to avoid that this year," said Stiles. The concert will not be enclosed on the upper stadium field this year. Instead it will be out in the open on the field beside the Duck Pond. The bands will be set up on the pavement in the stadium parking lot di­ rectly above the field. This will give the students the entire field to move around freely. For students interested in playing vol­ leyball, there will be nets set up in the field. Students arc also encouraged to bring frisbees, footballs and soccer balls. There should not be any worries about over­ crowding problems this year. The bands featured at thisyear's Yofest include The Straight Ahead and The Woods, two local bands from the Ra­ leigh-Chapel Hill area. "Both bands are packing the clubs in Raleigh, so we feel they will be real popular here," said Stiles. Straight Ahead plays more of a high energetic beat while The Woods cany a southern pop pedigree.Their unique sound has been compared to that of the Georgia Satellites. The A.P.P.S. Council is confi­ dent that both bands are well-suited for this type of event. This year ASU Food Services will be catering Yofest. The food service will be grilling hotdogs and hamburgers. Students will be able to use cash, their mealcards or their Appalachian Express cards to purchase food. Banana Boat will also be giving away free suntan products. Although this year's Yofest festival has undergone some changes, the enter­ tainment and fun promises to be as good as ever. So bring your friends and get ready fjr a good time.

Lethal summer movies with Batman Special to the Appalachian Michael Keaton is the Dark Knight of Gotham city...Danny Devito is the vil­ lainous Penguin...Michelle Pfeiffer is the sinuous, mysterious Catwoman in "Batman Returns," once again directed by creative mastermind Tim Burton. Joining Keaton, DeVito and Pfeiffer in the cast of "Batman Returns" are Acad­ emy A ^winner Christopher W alken, Michael Murphy, VincentSchiavelli, Jan Hooks, Cristi Conaway, Andrew Bryniarski and Steve Witting. Michael Gough once again appears as Alfred the butler, and Pat Hingle returns in the role of Police Commissioner Gordon. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return to the screen in the further adventures of police detectives Riggs and Murtaugh, as Richard Donner directs and Joe Pesci, Rene Russo and Jack Travis also star. After a long and distinguished career with the Los Angeles Police Department, Detective Roger Murtaught is just one week away from retirement For most officers, this would be a time to relax and reflect, toslowly wrap up everyday duties and prepare for civilian life. However, Detective Murtaugh will not be given that luxury. For one thing, a cache of thousands of illegal handguns has disappeared from police lockup and begun surfacing in the hands of local gang members. But the biggest obstacle to Murtaugh's retirement is the fact that his partner is still Martin Riggs. In the years that they've worked together, Riggs has grown very attached to his partner, and he thinks that, protes­ tations to the contrary, Murtaugh is defi­ nitely not too old for this stuff. Gibson and Glover continue the ad­ ventures of detectives Riggs and Murtaugh in a Silver Pictures Production of A Rich­ ard Donner Film, "Lethal Weapon 3." Donner, who directed the previous "Le­ thal Weapon" movies, which grossed $65 million and $147 million at the box of­ fice, respectively, returns to direct the third installment of the series. Glover most recently earned critical and popular plaudits for his performance as Simon in "Grand Canyon." Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman and Richard Harris star in a stark drama about life in the American West of the last century titled "Unforgiven."

The meet turned out to be a real success, and I was pleased with the team effort and intensity," Weaver said. Second place finishers for the Lady Apps included seniors Gardin and Monica Teeter in the 200-meters and 100-meter hurdles with times of 24.89 and 14.4.

Wallace was impressive in long-distance runs for ASU at the meet. Mountaineers conclude regular season, gear up for tourney By SCOTT M. KLEBAN Appalachian Staff Writer \ The Appalachian State baseball team I a busy final week of the season, playing eight games in seven days. The Mountaineers hosted Davidson 14 at Red Lackey Field. Senior irter Johnny McAulay picked up his irst win of theseason, striking out a team ton-high eight batters in six innings as J won 11-2. Randy DeBruhl and Scott McDaniel tchhomered for the Mountaineers. Will hellman, who leads the team with a .325 batting average, added four hits in four atbats. On April 15, UNC Asheville came to Boone for a doubleheader. In the opener, the Bulldogs rocked four Mountaineer pitchers for 14 hits as they dumped ASU 13-4. Joe Bernard homered for the Moun­ taineers. Appalachian gained a split in the night­ cap, outslugging UNCA 11-7. Brent Cardwell powered the attack with a home run and three RBIs. As Asheville's Bulldogs left town, the Bulldogs of the Citadel trekked up the mountains to Boone. The Citadel represented ASU's last Southern Conference foe of the regular sea­ son. Friday, the teams split a doubleheader. The Mountaineers won the first game 5-4. ASU outfielder John Bonner saved the game by throwing out a Bulldog runner at the plate for the game's 1 ast out, thwarting a Bulldog rally. The Citadel silenced ASU 6-0 in the second game. Shellman had the Mountaineer's lone hit in the contest. The two teams met again on Saturday to decide the series. ASU rallied from an early four-run deficit to clinch the series 9-6. Shellman continued to carry the hot bat pounding three hits and scoring three runs. Adding to the comeback was Joe Bernard who homered and tallied four RBIs. Steve Bronack pitched five innings of relief to record the win and raise his record to 2-1. Appalachian State's two victories over the Citadel raised their Southern Confer­ ence record to 6-14. The squad then headed to Clemson to finish out the regular season with apair of games. On Easter Sunday the Tigers ran out to a 4-0 lead after three innings. ASU countered with a single run in the fourth. Paul O'Neil's two-run single in the eighth inning narrowed the lead further to 4-3. However, Clemson held on for a 5-3 win. Monday, Bernard hit his third home rim of the week and team-leading sixth of the season for the Mountaineers. However, Bernard's first inning blast was not enough as Clemson overpower­ ed Appalachian 7-5. Slated next for the Mountaineers is the Southern Conference Tournament in Charleston, S.C. Play begins today with Appalachian matched in the first round against East Tennessee State. The Buccaneers won two of three games earlier this season when the teams met in Johnson City. The double-elimination tournmentcontinucs through Sunday. Georgia Southern makes its first appearance in the event, which offers an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament for the victor. Appalachian State captured three con­ secutive victories to open up the 1991 tourney and advance to the semifinals. The Mountaineer's good fprtune came to a halt there, however. Appalachian dropped back-to-back contests to Westem Carolina and Furman ans was elimi­ nated. Furman then beat WCU for the title. ASU men shine in home meet By LYDIA E.

Roberts went on to finish second in the discus with a 157'mark and third in the hammer at 165' 10". Other first-place finishers included freshmen Ryan Thiel and Leander Watts. Thielposted6'8"inthehighjump to win, and Watts clocked a time of 10.66 seconds in the 100-meters to finish on top. Appalachian had a number of secondplace finishers on the day, including se­ niors Rob Grant and Eric Joe. Grant finished at 173'6" in the javelin, and Joe clocked 48.98 in the 400 meters. Sophomore Seane Worthy posted 48' 6" in the shot put, and freshmen Jason Dalton and Pat Cromwell finished in the 200-meters and 800-meters with respec­ tive times of 21.64 and 1:53.46. The Mountaineers' 1600-meter relay team also finished second with a 3:23.5 showing. Third-place finishers were Joe in the 200-meters at 21.99 seconds and sopho­ more Michael Guess in the pole vault at 14' 6". Former ASU standout Allen Brooks . captured the 400-meters with a ri c o> 52.04 seconds. Brooks did not -unpete • with any team in the meet, as he rati • unattached. Brooks also took the 400meter title last year while still a member of the Mountaineer track squad. • • The Mountaineers will travel to Hun: tington, W.

This semester I fell in the latter category, and I was lucky enough to find a friend who was in the former category, so one sunny afternoon we walked to the I.D. Center at Trivette Hall to transfer some of her mealcard money to my mealcard. I had agreed to pay the transfer fee, which, by the way, has gone up from $5 to $6, but I'm not one to sweat one extra dollar. I wrote the $6 check to ASU, and a Food Services employee took my mealcard and my friend's and punched in something on the computer. All of three This week has been tabbed Earth Week—a week in which the environment minutes later, she handed our mealcards back to us and receives toppriority and much recognition. The environment and theprotection told us what our balances were. of the world should be a high priority item each day, each week, each year. This is what amazes me. Six dollars isn't very much Appalachian has been known as a leader in the recycling movement. The money, but it seems like a lot for a process that only takes txlum*** nmt **, AS U does its part to recycle university has received awards from the United States Environmental Protec­ tion Agency, from the National Wildlife Federation and from the North Carolina Recycling Association. Last year, ASU's second year with a campus-wide recycling program, the university diverted more than 155 tons from its 2,400-ton yearly waste stream. In February of this year, Appalachian saved 217 trees by recycling paper. The total trees saved by the university's recycling efforts now exceeds 3,000. Chancellor John Thomas initiated the project in fall of 1989. Since then, Jim Rice, director of ASU's recycling program, has carried the torch to see that recycling is conducted campus-wide. Riceorients offices as to ways to bebetter recyclers, publishes a recycling newsletterat virtually no cost and continues to make recycling on campus more convenient. The efforts of Rice, as well as the efforts of the university should be praised. ASU is a leader in the recycling field. Recycling is far from a convenient practice. It takes a commitment and an effort to recycle. Those who go the extra step deserve a pat on the back. Students should join ASU's commitment to recycling. Each student should go the extra mile to preserve the future and aid the preservation of the world in which we live. Newspapers, computer paper, notebooks, aluminum cans, plastic and glass can be separated and recycled for future use. Make the effort. Divide your recyclables from your trash; then carry the recyclables to the appropriate bins. The university is making strides to see that campus recycling improves each day. Each person should do his or her part as well. While this is Earth Week, please keep in mind that this is your planet, not just ihis week but each and every day of your life. friends come and go, but enemies accumulate. -Thomas F.

Six dollars for three minutes of*work means $120 an hour. Where does all that money go? Yes. the Food Services employee who does the computer work for the transfer gets paid, but Food Services employees don't get paid $120 an hour. Sure, there"s upkeep on the computers. But $120 an hour means $2880 a day. Food Services could buy a new computer for that amount of money. Naturally I'm exaggerating a little—I know that there is not a line of people waiting to get money transferred from mealcards, 24 hours a day. I know Food Services makes far less than $2880 a day in transfer fees. But this still doesnot change the fact that $6 is a pretty steep price for a process that takes three minutes. College students also pay for their official transcripts. Student transcripts,however, are free. Once when I asked the people working in I.G. Greer what the difference was between a student transcript and an official transcript, I was told that the official transcript-had the ASU seal on it and was sealed in an ASU envelope. Official transcripts and student transcripts are both printed on the same type of computer, and both take approximately the same amount of time to prepare, not counting the 30 seconds to a minute extra to put the official transcript in an envelope. However, official tran­ scripts cost $2, and student transcripts are free. What does the $2 go toward? Envelopes? The ink required to affix the ASU seal onto the transcript? Two dollars per student is a pretty steep price for these items. Applications to college and graduate schools require an application fee, anywhere from $15 to $50, depending on the school. What does this fee go toward? "Process­ ing" is a pretty generic term—no one seems to know what it means except the people who are actually "processing" these applications. I can't think of any task involved in "processing" that costs $15 to $50 per student Yes, the people who are considering these applications have an important job to do and should be paid well for doing it. However, employers everywhere also have to spend time considering applications, applications that don't require a $15 to $50 fee just to have them considered. Standardized tests such as the SAT, the NTE, and the GRE also require a fee of about $50, give or take a few dollars depending on the test. The SAT is required to get into college, the GRE or the GMAT is required for admission to graduate school, and the NTE is an example of a professional exam required to enter a certain profes­ sion, in this case, teaching. Why does it cost so much to take these tests? Those who take them put th^fr answers on bubble sheets, which take less than five minutes each to run through a computer. Yes, we have to pay for the bubble sheets, test booklets, pencils, a location to lake the test, and upkeep on computers that grade the tests. But $50 per person? Those moving into apartments are faced with all kinds of hookup fees—telephone hookup, cable hookup, water hookup, sewer hookup and electricity hookup are a few examples. These are all highly overpriced and are part of the reason it can cost $500-1000 to move into an apart­ ment. Telephone hookup, for example, runs about $45, depending on where you live. Hooking up a telephone is just a matter of keying in some information onto a computer, a process that only takes five to 10 minutes. I suppose this money also goes toward upkeep on these computers as well as upkeep on the phone lines, upkeep that I suppose isn't covered by the fee apartment and house owners pay every month for local service. But does this really cost $45 per household? We pay too much to live in society today. There's definitely no such thing as a free lunch. That's a generally accepted fact. But we should at least know where our money is going. I can't help wondering how much I pay each year in "fees" that don't seem to have a reason behind them. The name "America" does not unify us By CHRIS SEXTON Appalachian Staff Writer The purpose of this article is to raise some questions about the ways we collec­ tively defineourselves, and generate some new ways of thinking about who "we" are. It seems to me that many of us, myself included, have made assumptions about the way things are, as if somehow our ideas about the world were etched in stone. Who does the etching? Where is the stone? Some anchorman says "and that's the way it is" at the end of his glossy, corporate-controlled newscast and defini­ tive truth has been magically created. All the newspapers say "Clinton is strongly favored," and future truth isprophetically urged upon us. History rings with truths: "Wecameto America for freedom." Whose freedom? Native Americans'? "The Civil War ended slavery." What about migrant workers? Segregation? Child labor? Unequal pay? "We hold these truths to be self-evi­ dent, that all men are endowed by their Creator..." Blacks? Women? Children? Many of our ideas which pose as truth (I call them myths, in an incorrect but adequate labeling) were created by small groups of people (corporations, govern­ ments, teachers, etc.) who provide (using the media, etc.) most of our "informa­ tion" about the world. These myths are so ingrained that they are a part of our language. We do not talk about them, we talk in their terms— we assume them to be true in the very language that we use. One such myth is "America," or "society" as we "know" it. America, as the (arbitrary) geographic area, obviously exists, but "America" can and often does mean more than just that. Often it is synonymous with "society," since we tend to believe that people who live in the geographic region are all some­ how tied together in a unique, unified way. This isnot true.There is no truly shared body of experiences, no shared ethic, no shared system of living, which we all participate in. You might say "but you live under the government, you spend money, you speak English—that makes you part of society." The government is a small group of people who make and enforce laws. Our economic system is essentially enforced by the government and small groups of people in corporations. But these laws cannot define our society. Laws are vari­ able, our response to laws is individual and variable, and laws do not comprise the whole of our experience. The fact is that the government does not truly govern. Does government exist when people drink underage? When I'm driving 75 mph in a 65 mph zone? Do laws exist when they are broken? Maybe the fear exists that the lawbreakers will get caught.So society is defined by (con­ fined by) fear? If America is real, it is repression, be­ cause it only exists to the extent that people are controlled by their image of it, fear of breaking its rules. These rules are not absolute—a small group of people called "the government" created them. If people believe the government and its laws define a society called America, and that they live in America, underneath its rules, they will be controlled by the myth. Sure, I'm affected by government, but I'm affected by a lot of things. I am not governed, however. If we accept the gov­ ernment as an absolute, as defining America and all of us as Americans, we are choosing to govern ourselves by a myth. Repression by this myth is a per­ sonal choice. But the myth of America is more than just laws. What about language? Voting? Television? Cars? Fast food? All these things are variable in meaning, and the ways they affect us are wildly diverse. The language of a drug dealer is drasti­ cally different from that of a politician (usually), who shares few words with Chinese-Americans, who rarely engages in suburban college football conversa­ tions. Words in a gay night club are not the same as those spoken in a video-game arcade, which mean little to the funda­ mentalist Christians. Language, like our legal/illegal behav­ ior, is personal. Voting is not the same for the heroin addict and non-voters as for the Exxon CEO or the Vietnam vet. Television is a corporate institution (a small group of people with money and power.) To me it is mostly sexist, a homophobic consumer fantasy;to another it is an afternoon sedative; to another it is information and reality. Cars are an institution. To me they are an abomination; to another a car is iden­ tity and power, to another, the instrument of her paralysis in an accident. Fast food is an institution. To me it is a fast and convenient way to destroy for­ ests, overfill landfills and kill our parents with heart disease. To another it is em­ ployment and survival; to another it is a social event; to another it is good food. Belief in the existence of an America is usually an exercise in complacency moti­ vated by fear and helplessness. Govern­ ment is frightening; television is over­ powering. Challenging them seems diffi­ cult. We are afraid to challenge thege institutions, so we pretend that no such challenges exist. We pretend there is a unified society called America. We pretend we are not ourselves; we pretend we are Americans. We imagine we are part of a national community with unified goals and a feel­ ing of comradery and friendship, but we do not have that closeness. (Do you feel close to George Bush and Jerry Brown? Jesse Helms? Fundamentalists? Social­ ists? Children? Gays? Lesbians? Floridians? New Yorkers? Environmentalists? Older people? The Army? Cocaine ad­ dicts? Millionaires in Palm Beach? AIDS victims in Boone? Farmers? Inmates? Police officers? Insane people?) A desire for community is natural. But our need for freedom and community is not satisfied by the myth called America. Indeed, our freedom and community is more often dissolved by it. We know the Cosbys and the Simpsons better than our own next-door neighbor. We want friendship, so we purchase cars and name them, or call phone-sex lines, or watch thenews. We celebrate our 21st birthday as freedom—the day the government "lets" us drink. The fact is, we are free—we do not need the government's permission, nor corporate assistance, nor television guidance, to be ourselves and to be together. America is a myth, but you and I are real. Letter on SAC contained discrepancies Assistant Vice Chancellor defends SAC To the Editor A recent letter related to the proposed Student Activity Center contains inaccuracies and significant misinfor­ mation. The author represents a number of statements as fact, when in truth, they are misleading and inaccurate. First, the letter states that the center would "require slashing hill tops and filling valleys...in the middle of the university's environmental study area...known to contain endangered plant species." Although this sounds foreboding, it is not true! The university is conscious of its responsibility to protect the environ­ ment The building will be sited so as to produce the least possible impact on the surroundings. Part of the site will encompass an already existing football field. While there is no question that the Student Activity Center will disturb a small wooded area, it by no means wipes out an entire forest much less destroy the environmental area. In fact, earth excavated from the site will be transported rather than filled in the 12acre area as critics contend. Dr. Frank Randall, a distinguished retired Appalachian biology professor and co-founder of the current biology studies area, has publicly stated that the center would produce minimal effect on the environment. Interestingly, in 1952, Newlind Hall was the only structure located across Rivers Street. Since that time, every facility constructed on that side of campus has intruded upon the environ­ ment However, there is a clear distinction between intrusion and environmental damage. Second, opponents incorrectly refer to the center as a "gym" and claim the project shows a lack of concern for academic priorities. The truth is since 1968, the year Varsity Gym was completed, along with Belk Library, Sanford Hall and the Administration Building, state-appropriated funds have been used to add 704,747 square feet, all for academic facilities. In addition. another 215,173 square feet was renovated for academic facilities. The total commitment to academics in terms of dollars spent (unadjusted for inflation) is in excess of $41 million. It is important to understand that the Student Activity Center funding comes from the state's capital budget Capital funds can only be spent on buildings. Thus, cancelling the center will not enable the university to purchase a single book or fund a single faculty position. State allocations for books or additional faculty are tied to enrollment. Third, the letter claims that UNCsystem students have never had to pay anything for other such facilities. The truth is that former Appalachian students helped finance the construction of Varsity Gymnasium through student fees. More recently, the student union, Quinn Center, Trivette Hall, the Student Support Building and many of the residence halls were constructed with student fees. Furthermore, students at UNCW, ECU and UNCG have had their student fees applied toward the construction of similar facilities. In fact, just last month the UNCC Board of Trustees with student government approval, okayed the tripling of student activity fees to construct a $26 million sports arena. Their arena would include a 9,540 seat arena for sports and graduation as well as weight rooms and game rooms. Perhaps it's ironic that UNCC student leaders noted that the center would allow graduation ceremonies to be held jointly as well as provide a place for students to gather. It is incumbent on today's leaders to see the future and plan accordingly. Each generation owes that to succeed­ ing generations. Appalachian State University and this region will continue to grow and mature. Facilities such as the Student Activity Center will function for the next 40-50 years. It will allow the university to continue to serve its students and the region far into the 21st century. Students who attended Appalachian in the '50s and '60s paid fees to construct buildings in use today. They saw the future and reacL-'' out to embrace it. This generation can do no less for those who will follow. Mark Neil Lev ine Assistant Vice Chancellor for Public Affairs �JLi. The Appalachian. Thursday Anrilll 1007 !

This petition named "A Resolution of Conscience and Concern" has aroused some controversy in that it may stand in conflict with some of the principals stated by "Unity Week" orga nizers. The stated goal of Unity Week is to provide a peaceful alterna­ tive to the hate represented by the Klan. The petition states that the Klan promotes violence and in­ timidation against innocentpersons and endeavors to promote prejudicial ideas through the school boards. Further, the petition asserts that the Klan's principles and intimidating activities are only a small minority and do not represent the positive, open ac­ cepting views of the vast majority of Watauga County residents. The petition continues on to say that the Klan exists to further rac­ ist propaganda and intimidation with the use of firearms and the use of symbols such as burning crosses. "Be it resolved that we, the undersigned, respect the value, worth, dignity and rights of all persons; that we oppose un­ Unity Walk Duck Pond Field Today 6 equivocally the dehumanizing principals and intimidating tactics of the KKK, be it resolved that we support and encourage every agency, with whom there is power, to limit legally, control lawfully and monitor openly all events of the KKK in our county in an effort to protect all citizens from intimidation and threat," the Resolution of Conscience and Concern states. "Be it further resolved that the endorsers of this resolu­ tion encourage persons, organizations, groups, or agencies in other North Carolina counties also to go on record and state publicly that the values, philosophy, and activities of the KKK are not consistent with the beliefs and values of their communities," the petition states. Recycling increases 55 percent S U participates in two programs to further recycling efforts equivalent to 159,125 cans and a 7.9 percent recycling rate. In February in 1992, 301 pounds, or 7,525 aluminum cans were recycled. According to Jim Rice, ground engi­ neer of the physical plant, one recycled can saves enough energy for a television set to run for three hours. "Some people have the impression that aluminum cans lay around in containers waiting to be recycled," Rice said. One recycled can will be back on the shelf in six to eight weeks. Glass also works well in the recycling process, but it does not appear back on theshelf as fast as the aluminum cans. Rice said. The second recycling program operat­ ing on campus is the office paper program which began in October of 1989. The physical plant is responsible for recycling containers which are located in offices around the ASU campus. Physical staff representatives have dis­ covered from the "waste" stream in the offices that paper is predominate. In the program's first month, 383 pounds of paper were recycled. Seventeen trees are saved for every ton of paper recycled. Currently, the ASU bookstore is selling "tree free" paper which is post-consumer paper. JENNY HARTWIGER pal achian Staff Writer Appalachian State University helped ycle 153.223 tons of material in 1992, 5 percent increase from 1990. ji order to meet the needs of not only faculty and staff but also the students, U has developed two different campus ycling programs. ["he First program is handled by Resiice Facilities and involves convenient ycling for on-campus students.

This weight is A single tree removes 250 pounds of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year. At the same time, one pound of carbon dioxide is emitted from the ex­ haust of a car every mile. Last month, 217 trees were saved through recycling. ASU has recently established a new policy for tree removal. For every tree that must be cut down, three new trees will be planted, Rice said. These new trees will not necessarily be thesame type of tree or planted in the same place.Trees are taken down because they endanger people and buildings when they have the potential to fall. Rice said,"There is no recipe for recy­ cling. What works in the residence halls does not work in the offices." The physical plant staff welcomesques­ tions or concerns raised by the students. Rice has observed that the useT offers more information about recycling than the waste does. Students can leam more reading the campus recycling newsletter, Appalachian Recycling Update,or contacting thephysi­ cal plant. "What better time to begin recycling than on Earth Day, April 22. Recycling one can will make a difference," said Rice. RECYCLING OPERATIONS EXPANDED: There has been a 55 percent increase of campus recycling effort since 1990. One of the programs allows students to recycle almost everything with the exception of plastics in the residence halls. Opportunity for students to use meal card money running out over. Dubberly said 'The main reason is the cost that is involved." Some students have as few as a couple of pennies left on their accounts, but some have large dollar amounts left, according to Dubberly. Therefore, the University must set a standard that applies to all students, and that is simply not to give any students their extra money back, Dubberly said. However, the express accounts are good from August to May and on through both Qpccinm rtf cummer school.

Dubberly, director of food ser­ "^Uberly said students utilize their food "t'Ce privileges. He said, "99.98 per5®F their money is spent." ere are a few reasons why students refunded their money that is left i If there is any money left over on the express account, the money,like themeal card, does not transfer over to the follow­ ing semester. An interesting aspectDubberly pointed out about thesetwo meal plans is students are using a great deal of their money on the cards on the vending machines. Dubberly said there has been a 500 percent increase in the use of the vending machines. He attributes the increase to the addi­ tion of a variety of products and an in­ crease in the number of machines on campus to 148. Dubberly said food services spends about $7 million per year on the services it provides. This money "stays in the Food Ser­ vices budget. It is used to offset the price increases for the next year," Dubberly said. The meal plan for first semester fresh­ men is required. They are able to choose from three different plans. They can have a plan that allows them to charge $500, $625 or $725. After their first semester, freshmen have the option of lowering their meal plan to $375. Upperclassmen are allowed to use these dollar amounts for their meal plans also. Students may also use the express ac­ count, which has a minimum amount of $20 required. This card is applicable for a variety of uses: food services, the university book store, laundry services, the Broyhill Inn, the student union and many other services that are providedon campus, according to Dubberly. In other food service news, Dubberly said there has been some concern over the fact that the cafeteria, except for the food court, has been closed for dinner since the pizza place opened on campus. However, hesaid there is no more need for concern because the cafeteria will re­ open in the fall for dinner on MondayThursday from 4 to 6:30 p.m. The hours for breakfast and lunch remain the same; Monday-Friday from 7 to 10:30 a.m. for breakfast and 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for lunch. I Environmental attitudes surveyed ASU News Bureau AppMtchhn Photo by KoMi Jack ton 'tk ^SNT SAVES CUPS- ASU students save thousands of cups each year by using the reusable Food Service mug. The mug W^ble at Food Service'locations and can be used for discounts on campus as well as off campus. m A majorityof North Carolinians would be willing to pay more taxes to clean up the environment, according to a survey of Tar Heel attitudes conducted by political scientists Dan German and Marvin Hoffman at Appalachian State University. The survey, funded by a grant from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and administered through Appalachian's Program for the Study of Environmental Change, also found those attitudes vary from region to region and that the environment, education, the economy and drugs are perceived as the problems facing the state today. The state-wide random telephone survey drew responses from 488 residents. Households in each of the state's 100 counties werecontacted. The survey hasa margin of errorof plus or minus 4.5 percent "We found an overwhelming concern, above what we ex­ pected, expressed about the quality of the environment," Ger­ man said. Ninety-three percent agreed or strongly agreed with the statement "the quality of the environment (air, land and water) is a concern to you." Sixty-three percent feel "the condition of the United States' environment is getting worse." "An interesting contradiction, which makes it difficult to address environmental problems, is that 50 percent feel the quality of the local environment is staying the same," German said. "People perceive the environmental problem as being somewhere else, not where they live." These attitudes create a policy-making problem for local governments seeking to imple­ ment environmental regulations. "People are less likely to work to improve the environment or work to eliminate environmental problems through government action if they perceive the prob­ lem as being elsewhere," German said. The media's portrayal of environmental problems may con­ tribute to a lack of concern with local environmental issues, German said. "People see reports on problems like Love Canal and Chernobyl on TV," he said. "Local problems aren't as dramatic and don't receive the same television coverage." According to the survey, state residents are concerned about a variety of environmental problems including garbage disposal (95.3 percent), industrial pollution (91.6 percent), agricultural herbicides, pesticide runoff (89.3 percent) and acid rain (80.7 percent). Of those surveyed 68 percent recycle paper, 67 percent recycle cans, 50 percent recycle bottles and 20 percent compost waste. While a majority of respondents expressed a distrust of government (64 percent saying government cannot be trusted to do what is right for the people), 78 percent of the respondents feel more government regulation is needed to protect the envi­ ronment. Sixty-five percent said regulation should occur at all levels of government (local, state and national). "It's very interesting that people in North Carolina have a very negative view of government," German said."Our responSee ENVIRONMENTAL page 4 �The Appalachian. Tut>xda\.

Fraternity catches grief for T-shirt logo (CPS)—The student senate at the Uni­ versity of Wisconsin-River Falls has ap­ proved a resolution suggesting that a fra­ ternity tpologize for designing and print­ ing T-shirts that students have condemned as demeaning to women. The S tudent Senate passed a resolution in late February that asked the Delta Theta Sigma fraternity chapter to be aware of the negative implications of the design and that the fraternity members recon­ sider pointing anything similar in the fu­ ture. The Interfratemity Council also ap­ proved amotion suggesting that the Delta Theta Sigma members comply with the student senate resolution. The T-shirts, which were sold for the fraternity's "Back to Jamaica" piarty, de­ picted a woman in a shark's mouth with the words"Decade of Dominance"below it. Tom Goodenough, president of the fra­ ternity, has declined to discuss the issue. Jim Chaussee, president of the Interfratemity Council, said there was concern about protecting the Greek im­ age, but henoted that the DeltaThetas had not violated any rules. I! "DTS has not broken any laws. At worst, they have used bad judgment," he said. Some students have begun collect­ ing petition signatures protesting the Tshirts. "Hopefully the petition will create a greater awareness among men and women on campus that this was sexist and de­ grading and dehumanizing," said Jeannette Barisonzi, one of the protesters and head of the Women's Student Asso­ ciation. Betty Bergland,a professor who teaches a class on Women and History, said stu­ dents discussed the T-shirt during a re­ cent meeting and suggested various courses of action. "They were justifiably outraged and have gone about this in a intelligent and thoughtful way," she said. Other students said the issue was not that important. "I think pieople are blowing this way out of proportion," said student John Kiecker. "I don't think the words are meant to go with the picture. The words relate to the fact that it was their 10th annual party."

Anril 14. 1992 NOW LEASING West End Condos The court case: What's at stake? /£pS)—While many college students oSS the country celebrate Earth Day on ,-nl 22, thousands of others will look the nation's Capitol with concern bout an entirely different matter. On Apfil 22, the U.S. Supreme Court »ill begin tohear arguments in a Pennsylvjnia abortion case that could overturn or -ore strictly limit existing abortion rights Redout in Roe v. Wade. Recent rallies for and against abortion l^ve once again brought the issue to the national spotlight. At the center of the debate this time is the case titled Planned parenthood of Southeastern PennsylvaCasey, on which theSupreme Court „31 most likely rule in July. The Pennsylvania law in question re^res women to notify their husbands of ^air decision to have an abortion. Other uirements include a 24-hour waiting • jod, detailed record-keeping by docof each abortion performed, which ».0uld be subject to publid disclosure, and ibatdoctors tell women about alternatives a, abortion and about fetal development. The appeals court upheld the constituonahty of the Pennsylvania law in all areas exceptspousal notification, which it sat placed an "undue burden" on the woman by taking away her power to de­ cide. But, on all of the other requirements, aPPeals court said that the Pennsylva­ nia law was constitutionally sound, based on the legal concept of "undue burden." Undue burden"is the phrase used most frequently in abortion cases by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The term refers to a person's power to decide privacy issues for himself or herself. For example, the court says that spou­ sal notification violates the standard of undue burden because a woman could not obtain an abortion if her husband refused to agree to the procedure. But, parental notification in the cases of minors does not violate the undue bur­ den standard because every law dealing with parental notification upheld by the court has a clause that gives the minor a way around the notification. In nearly all cases, that loopholeis petitioning thecourt either for permission to get an abortion or for permission to not seek parental ap­ proval for an abortion. According to Ann Massie, law profes­ sor at Washington and Lee University, the undue burden standard is the one on which most of the abortion cases hinge. "What she says and what (the appeals court) means when they cite O'Connor is that if the (abortion) requirement doesn't impose an undue burden on the right of the woman, then the requirement must appear reasonable to the state," Massie says. "If it appears reasonable, then (the requirement) can be upheld. That allows the statewide latitude. But, if it does im­ pose an undue burden, then you have to go back to Roe v. Wade." That's why many fear Roe v. Wade will eventually be reversed. Most activists don't expect the Penn­ sylvania case to overturn Roe v. Wade because of the upcoming election. But, Massie and others note that the require­ ments the court is considering in the case S*tudcrrt Publications is now accepting applications for student employees. are a major departure from the abortion cases heard in the past few years, the most noted (Rust v. Sullivan) dealing with fed­ erally funded family planning centers and the type of information they can give women about abortion. The major departures in the Pennsylva­ nia case deal with the information a doc­ tor must give patients and the 24-hour waiting period. "There are two parts to the information requirement," Massie explained. "First, either adoctor or referring physician must tell the woman of the nature of the proce­ dure, the risk of having an abortion, the medical risk of canying the child to term and the gestation period of the fetus. "Also, someone must tell the woman that the Pennsylvania Department of Health has pamphlets about the unborn child and its development. They must also tell the woman her other options, including the fact that the father could be held liable for financial assistance or that the woman could be eligible for prenatal care through the state. 5-K 2 BR Furnished—$375 per month Water/Sewer Included 264-1533 TAN TAN TAN!

Students go to Washington in support of abortion rights (CPS)—Thousands of students trav­ eled to Washington, D.C., to take part in an April 5 inarch to support legislation that would set a national standard for abortion protection, a rally that drew half a million pro-choice advocates. Leslie Watson-Davis, coordinator of the Campus Organizing Project, said the demonstration sent "a clear and strong message" to politicians that college stu­ dents intend to use their votes to ensure the election of candidates who support abortion rights. "We, the students, will decide, from the statehouse to the White House," said Watson-Davis, who helped organize col­ lege students in a joint project sponsored by the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and the United States Student Association. "They need 'to understand this is an issue of concern on college campuses and to graduating high school students." Watson-Davis said 169 students took part in a special training session and will return to their campuses to help identify and register pro-choice voters. Young people ages 18 to 25 will play a "pivotal and critical" role in the Nov. 3 election, she said. College students also spent April 6 on Capitol hill, asking legislators to support the Freedom of Choice Act—legislation that would protect abortion rights based on the principles established by Roe. v. Wade in 1973. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear ar­ guments April 22 on a Pennsylvania law that could overturn or more strictly limit existing abortion rights spelled out in Roe v. Wade. dents overwhelmingly feel that govern­ ment is run by special interest groups.

This unity jis important for a college campus as it f for the entire world, for without it, nothing could be accomplished. Students around campus need to feel unified so that the stadium will be full at home football games, and everyone will feel as if they are a piece of the puzzle here atASU. In order topromote this feeling, SG A is sponsoring a Unity Week from April 13 through April 15. Organizations such as WASU, CRSA and various other clubs will participate in the activities planned. This week will hopefully enhance the unity felt around campus by getting many students involved. The week- officially began this past weekend, April 10 and 11. Chad Lacy, the Urban Music Director, and Lance Davis, the Metal Director, conducted a Unity Weekend for WASU. Both of these DJs' shows are stereotyped as being very dif­ ferent, and their objective was to show how they are alike. The two shows aired from 7-1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. During these programs the DJs aired artist interviews and gave away prize packagescontaining recently released tapes and CDs. In spon­ soring Unity Weekend, Lacy and Davis hoped to illustrate how two different as­ pects of ASU, such as radio shows, can also be very similar. The main activity of the week will be the 1992 Unity Day, on April 14. Today Appalachian and theCommunity of Boone will march together in response to the controversial KKK march taking place on Easter Sunday. Terie McHale, the Public AffairsChair­ person of SGA, said "We hope to promote unity through diversity coupled with un­ derstanding and knowledge." The walk will begin at the Duck Pond in front of Trivette Hall at 6 p.m. and will proceed to Sanford Mall. All clubs and organizations around campus are strongly encouraged to par­ ticipate in this "Friendship Walk" in or­ der to promote the unity between ASU and the community as well as show sup­ port for worldwide unity and friendship. The clubs that participate are encouraged to display positive messages at the walk, such as "Support Unity through Diver­ sity," or "Diverse Yet United." The walk will also feature speakers. SGA President Daryl Ghent and Chan­ cellor JohnThomas will both speak about issues concerning unity and its impor­ tance. These speakers, along with SGA, hope to create awareness about unity, and how differing groups can have a central bond­ ing without losing sight of their individu­ ality. Throughout the "Friendship Walk," various students will be distributing purple ribbons to symbolize friendship and unity among everyone. History Dept. offers Newport trip By CHRISTY LOHR Appalachian Staff Writer Ptioto CourtMy at John Corbatt SUMMER ADVENTURES AND LEARNING: A trip to Newport is offered every summer through the history department. Miny students have taken advantage of opportunities of learning and being in a beautiful environment. Imagine this: after a long day of sum­ mer school classes on Early Colonial Ar­ chitecture, 19th Century American Lit­ erature and Early American Business, you decide to take a walk around campus. You stroll across the vivid green lawns to the edge of a cliff that overlooks the beautiful, cool Narragansett Bay. As you get tired you amble back to the 19th century mansion that you call your dorm for a quick nap. If this sounds exciting, then you might want to look into the option of spending the first session of summer school in Newport, RI, at Salve Regina University. This five-week program is in its eleventh year here at Appalachian. The cost, $1275, includes the summer school fee, transportation to and from Newport, lodging, sailing, field trips, food and a lobster dinner every Sunday night! Salve Regina University is a small. Catholic school in the southern tip of the Narragansett Bay. The campus is located in the mansion district of Newport. Not only do students get to enjoy the ancient beauty of the campus, but they experience the town's wonderful heritage as well. The courses offered revolve around and are enhanced by this aspect. Students take field trips every Friday to such his­ toric sites as Boston. Plymouth Rock, Salem and New Providence. Those inter­ ested in American business may visit old textile mills and examine the origins of North Carolina's industry. A study of major New England writers acquaints students with the creative minds from the area such as Herman Melville and Nathaniel Hawthorne. For those look­ ing to work off a PErequirement, a sailing course is offered. The experience is not limited to history majors only. Courses can be chosen to fit just about any area of study. Internships can be arranged through the program. Dr. George Antone of the History De­ partment spoke ofstudentswhohave spent the summer working in yacht museums, or Newport's recreational sailing indus­ try. He has seen many students return after graduation for employment. The summer session also offers an adult learner program. This is a one-week ex­ perience for adults. For $425 they can spend a week participating in architec­ tural classes, mansion tours and other educational opportunities. Dr. J. J. Bond leads garden tours in which the ancient trees and vegetation of the area are studied. Three and one-halfmile cliff walks along the beach are of­ fered. The adults join the summer school students for meals and field trips, and both groups have a wonderful time inter­ acting. This fee includes housing, food, transportation and classes. The professors and participating stu­ dents are anxiously anticipating the trip. There are spaces for 25-30 applicants. For an application form or more informa­ tion see either An tone or Bond in the Department of History, Bond in the de­ partment of Biology, Dr. Whitener in the Department of Home Economics, or Dr. Whitener in the Department of English. This trip proves tobe a wonderfullearn­ ing experience and a memorable adven­ ture. Dr. Beuie Bond summarized it per­ fectly: "You'll only love it!"

Spring has | finally arrived, and that means it is time lot spring cleaning and Appalachian's Spring Open House. To help future undergraduates decide •liich schools will be right for them and t assist upcoming Appalachian fresh­ men, ASU offers a Spring Open House to answer questions and provide informa­ tion to try and make the transition from high school to college easier. Appalachian's Spring Open House will be held Saturday, April 25 beginning in the Varsity Gymnasium at 8:30 a.m. Events include an information fair, cam­ pus tours,departmental open houses, resi­ dence hall open houses, mini sessions and a general session.

Campus tours will be taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. led by Appalachian Student Ambassadors.Departmental open houses will have faculty members present to answer any questions, provide tours of the department and provide academic in­ formation. Residence halls will have activities planned for parents and prospective stu­ dents and have rooms open to observe. The general session will take place from 11:30 a.m. until noon at Farthing Audito­ rium, with university representatives, and the mini sessions include presentations from Admission, Residence Life and Scholarship/Financial Aid. The annual open house is one of the two opportunities provided for prospec­ tive students and their parents to visit and learn about the campus. The other formal opportunity. Family Day, takes placedur­ ing fall semester in the month of Septem­ ber. Open house is planned for late spring to hopefully insure good weather. Open house is geared mainly for high school juniors who will bedeciding which schools to apply to at the beginning of their senior years. It is also a chance for upcoming freshmen and their families to visit the campus and leam what opportu­ nities are available to them. Paul Hiatt of Admissions described it as "a day to get families on campus and put our best foot forward. It's a good opportunity in particular.

April 14 JQQ? •APPALACHIAN Teachers trade break for classroom time Appletree Ap<wtK, «H Appalachian News Bureau Ever wonder what teachers do during summer vacation? Some shoot tennis balls from a giantslingshot. Others make clouds in a half-gallon jug. More than 150 teach­ ers from across North Carolina have been hiking mountain trails, growing gardens and collecting weather data in institutes sponsored by Appalachian State University's math-science center and ge­ ography department. The science field is changing so rap­ idly," math-science directorSteve Dyche said."These workshops help teachers keep up-to-date with the changes." Teachers learn new activities, methods and re­ sources useful in teaching math and sci­ ence courses. They also share teaching methods and ways of dealing with prob­ lems in the classroom. 'Teachers are given materials to take back to the classroom and also share what they leant with their colleagues," Dyche said. "These workshops will have an im­ pact on thousands of students." Several of the institutes are co-spon­ sored by the State Department of Public Instruction and address future cur­ riculum changes. "In 1994 every high school in the state will be required to offer geology classes," Dyche said. "These classes will probably be assigned to biol­ ogy teachers who have a background in life science but may not be familiar with earth science." This year theIntegrated Life and Earth Sciences Institute has helped middle school teachers use their biology back­ grounds to teach geology concepts. In one activity, teachers hiked up Mount Mitchell to leant how the geology of a mountain affects plant life. If funded, a workshop will be offered next summer for high school teachers. PRISMS, another science institute, shows teachers how to use common ma­ terials such as tennis balls and Match Box cars to teach physics in high school. A two-weekmath institute is helping teach­ ers use computer software to teach alge­ bra and geography. Many of the institutes are funded by Eisenhower Math and Science grants. Teachers attending the math-science in­ stitutes receive a $35 daily stipend, tu­ ition and materials. Participants in an institute operated by the geography department leam how to integrate weather and climate informa­ tion into the social studies curriculum. "National Geographic sponsors these pro­ grams to enhance geography instruction in the country," Dr. Bill Imperatore, one of the programs instructors, said. Teach­ ers use information about a country's climate to teach the geography of the region. 'Teachers leam classroom activi­ ties to entice students to become aware of our meteorological environment, how we influence it and how we are influenced by it," he said. Participants make instrument shelters to install at their schools, and receive workbooks and other activity re­ lated materials. • 2 Bedrooms »2 Bathrooms .

ASU dropped two of the three games to slip to 11-26 on the season. On Saturday, April 12, ASU had their bats in gear as they cruised to a 10-1 downing of the Paladins.

Furman vaulted to a 7-0 lead and refused to look back in the contest Charlie Braswell scattered six hits over nine innings to pick up the victory for Furman. He allowed three runs on the day, none of which were earned. Wayne Carter was tagged for eight hits and five runs over five innings and accepted the loss for ASU. Steve Bronack and Gary Davis came in for mop-up duty and allowed five runs over the final three innings. Furman, which rapped out 13 hits in the game, scored at least one run in six of the game's nine innings. Spears led the assault with a three-for-five output, including a homerun. Bohacek and Russ Roper also had two hits. Scott McDaniel had two hits for Appalachian. Appalachian returns home today to face the Davidson Wildcats. The game is set to begin at 3 p.m. at Lackey Field. ASU will also entertain the Bulldogs of The Citadel this weekend for a threegame series.

"But I wouldn't say athletes are more prone to violence." One study on athletes and violence had a differ­ ent conclusion. The Philadelphia Daily News in 1986 surveyed 350 schools for the years 1983 through 1985 and found that athletes "had been implicated in at least 61 sexual assaults (and)... that football and basket­ ball players were 38 percent more likely to be implicated in such crimes than the average male college student." Another researcher came up with different find­ ings. Dr. Richard Lapchick, director of the Center for the Study of Sports in Society, at Boston's Northeastern University, has estimated that ath­ letes are not any more prone to breaking the law than the average citizen, when athlete-related crimes are compared with crimes committed in the general population. The National Collegiate Athletic Association said it has no national studies on athletes and violence on record, nor does it know of any that exist. ^ Ed' Lady Apps run at UT Senior Sabrina Hill posted a 39' 9" mark in the triple jump, a seasonal best performance in this event.

"I think we're a little too insulated," he said, noting that a new NCAA regulation will forbid separate athletic dormitories after 1995.

"In 1986, the Dallas Morning News turned up over 30cases of University of Texas football play­ ers receiving 'free legal counsel' through the inter­ vention of a Longhom assistant coach," Sperber reported.

Fitzmorris said directing athletes' energies can be a problem sometimes. "You want them to be confident, but there's a fine line between confident and cocky," he said. He acknowledged that athletes are under firessure to be aggressive and to win games, but he said that should not be used as an excuse for wrongdo­ ing. College athletes also have to learn to ignore taunts, as hard as that may be. "If they do something stupid, they deserve to pay for it," Fitzmorris said. "I tell them, 'You live in a fishbowl, and you're going to be challenged every day of your life on the field and off. You have to walk away from that." Murray Sperber, an Indiana University English and American Studies professor, wrote a wideranging book on problems in college sports called "College Sports Inc."

A violent situation is not wanted in the streets of Boone or Blowing Sock. ithas been rumored that the Klan will be carrying firearms during the march. Whether they will or not has yet to be determined; however, firearms when tarried in a march, undermine the principles of peace. Those who oppose the Klan should not stoop to that level. They should not bring any violent thoughts, yet alone violent weapons, to the march sites. The Klan displays its ignorance by the simple nature of its views. Racism is alive and rampant in such an organization as the KKK. Such organizations remind us of the hate and prejudice that needs to be eradicated. The time for peace is now. The time for open mindedness is now. And the lime to end racism is now. Let this be a weekend of peace, not one of violence. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself —from "Desiderata" waiting to smell the all-too-familiar going-do wn-themountain smell of burning brakes. I must admit that I have been one of these drivers. I'm from Eastern North Carolina, where the steepest hill is the equivalent of the slope in the stadium parking lot. But one of the first lessons 1 learned upon my arrival at ASU three years ago was, if going down a mountain too fast, don't ride the brakes—pump them gently. If the person behind you sees more than a few flashes of red at a time, you're braking too much. I also learned that if I smelled anything burning, 1 probably should lake my foot off the brake for as long as 1 could without letting the car slam into the one in front of it. The opposite problem a driver may have going down the mountain is the Speedy Gonzales who insists on riding the bumper of the car in front of him or her, even if the car is going 10 miles per hour above the speed limit. We have all seen these cars—the ones that look like they're emotionally attached to each other. You would think that, nearly a century after people started driving cars, drivers would have learned by now thai this practice is highly dangerous. I don't have the statistics on exactly how many accidents this causes, but it's only common sense that if you're riding someone's bumper and that person throws on brakes, there's no place for your front end to go except straight into that person's trunk. Also, why do some people absolutely refuse to use turn signals? Are they unaware that the lever to the left of their steering wheel that clicks up and down when touched was placed there for the purpose of signalling to other drivers that they plan to disappear around a comer at any given moment? Or are they just mysterious people who prefer that their intentions remain unknown, although not mak­ ing their intentions known in this way might cause an accident? Equally annoying are people who insist on signalling five blocks in advance. Of course, from my personal observ alions, these are the same people who drive atleas t 10 miles per hour below the speed limit. I avoid two-lane highways whenever I can specifically to avoid getting behind oneof these people without being able to pass. When I am forced to drive behind one of these people, in the midst of my annoyance and impa­ tience, I want to ask, What's the point? The interstate speed limit was changed from 55 to 65 miles per hour because most people thought 55 was too slow, and traffic lawmakers determined that 65 was perfectly safe. If going 65 is perfectly safe on the interstate, and will get you to your destination more quickly, why do people waste their own time, and the time of the people stuck driving behind them on a two-lane highway, by going 35 in a 55 miles per hour zone? For those of you who simply aren't comfortable driv­ ing the speed limit, don't have a wreck driving faster than you feel you are able to.If you are on a two-lane highway, however, and there is a line of cars behind you,please pull over and let them go by. Otherwise, some inconsiderate moron will probably decide to ride your bumper and make you have a wreck. Another question regards specifically Boone and the areas surrounding it. Why does whoever is in charge of these things insist that the best time to do construction on major highways leading out of Boone is on the first day of an ASU break? Traffic leading out of Boone on the Wednesdays before fall break and Thanksgiving, the Thursday before Easter, and the Friday before spring break is bad enough, without one blocked-off lane, or­ ange cones and barrels. It takes 30 minutes to get out of Boone before a break as it is. There is no need to add another 15 minutes to a college student's sometimes already-long trip. A major traffic law is "Watch for pedestrians." Judg­ ing from two accidents at the crosswalk at Walker Hall this year, this law is obviously being ignored by some people. Something needs to be done about the crosswalk at Walker. Hashing yellow caution lights obviously aren't efficient enough for controlling pedestrian/vehicle traf­ fic. Maybe a traffic light with "walk" and "don't walk" signs could be installed, such as at the crosswalk between the business building parking lot and Farthing Audito­ rium. But meanwhile, cars going down Rivers Street, please be careful and watch out for pedestrians. That particular section of the street is very difficult to cross. Anyone who drives through Winston-Salem or Burlington going home knows that at any time of the day, you are likely to run into a traffic jam, especially if it is raining. For some reason, rain makes people drive slower—I haven't figured that one out yet. But anyway, if you do get into a traffic jam, don't scream and honk your horn at other drivers. People who do this don't make the traffic move any faster. They just irritate the people in the car with them and the people in the cars around them, who also wish the traffic would speed up but know that mumbling choice words isn't going to make it happen. Women's group should clean up its wood By MATTHEW McNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer How much wood would a university chuck? Not very much, judging from what I have seen this week outside in Sanford Mall. You may have noticed the large pile of wood and stack of stones sitting off to the side of Sanford Mall. You may have also pondered why the heck it has been there for so long. Well, never fear, your fearless reporter went undercover to ask daring questions over the telephone. To begin my investigation, I found out who was in charge of reserving Sanford Mall. I won't repeat the department name because it really doesn't deserve any blame, especially since I bled the infor­ mation out of it I told the department that since no one wanted the wood, we could donate it to somebody who really needed iL They said I could not because it belonged to a group that was going to build a bonfire. I asked which group, and they said it was a certain women's group. This was verified by a couple of people that work in the office in which I am enslaved. According to my sources, the bonfire was cancelled due to snowfall; so the wood was left on Sanford Mall. This is where it gets confusing, so read this slowly. I asked if they allow bonfires regularly and they said, not anymore be­ cause the group did not have the proper papers. "I thought you said it was snowedout," I said. "Yes," they said,"But we did not know about the paperwork that they had failed to complete." This ruined all the plans I had for my ritual involving a golden calf. Now you know the loose facts. Two facts are concrete though: 1) a women's group was going to have a bonfire, which has never been allowed before and 2) the remains of what looks like a smaller ver­ sion of Slonehengehas been lying outside for over two weeks. I, naturally, do not like fire. It must be those Frankenstein tendencies in me. Fire has a habit of getting out of control and I don't like the idea of a 14-foot, flam­ ing pile of lumber surrounded by class­ rooms. Imagine the smoke choking the build­ ings! Imagine the wind blowing the flames helter-skelter! Every time that I have gone camping, I went to many lengths to make sure that the fire was out, such as setting up Twinkies around the sight to attract Smokey Bear. (Do you remember those annoying commercials:"IT'S SMOKEY BEAR! NOT SMOKEY THE BEAR! You wouldn't say Easter THE Bunny would you"? My question is: who cares? Both of them are nonexistent. You cannot make a grizzly bear wear a hat. Ask my one-armed Uncle Leroy; he knows.) Usually bonfires are reserved for smallminded purposes such as book-burning, sacrifices and incinerating benches at Duke after a victory. It did not happen, however, and the plastic under the lumber is prohibiting two patches of grass to flourish. I'm not sure who is to blame for the wood sitting there, but let me recommend to the group of women who wanted to demonstrate for equality; you should consider picking it up yourselves, instead of waiting two weeks for a bunch of men from the physi cal plant to take it away for you. Employees taken advantage of Store has violated wage and hour law To the Editor: "When we save, you save," Tom Smith, president of Food Lion grocery stores, tells prospective customers. But Tom Smith's workers are probably told a different slogan, more like, "When we save you slave." Food Lion stands accused of breaking federal wage and hour as well as pension laws. Some current and former employees, of the Salisburybased supermarket chain, have filed suit complaining of working as much as 30 hours a week extra, uncompensated. "Effective scheduling" is the phrase the corporation uses. "Effective scheduling" allots a certain time frame in which a task can be completed. If the task is not completed in the appropri­ ated amount of time, then the worker must clock out and complete the job. This procedure is in clear violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Wage and hour laws are not the only statutes being violated by the company. Food Lion is still in court for suppos­ edly violating federal pension laws. Pension laws were supposedly violated when employees were fired within months of being vested in the company's highly acclaimed profitsharing plan. To be eligible for the profit-sharing plan, an employee must have worked with Food Lion for five years. But many were fired within months of being vested. Many of the profit-sharing plan's beneficiaries are top-level executives. Kids who start as bag boys, (as Tom Smith did), and hope to move up in the company, find their hopes dashed approaching their fifth year with the company, when they are fired for uncertain reasons. These reasons are usually poorly founded accusations of stealing and gross misconduct. Other reasons for expulsion include working overtime without permission, a practice the company in fact seems to encourage by allotting too little time to complete a task. To make matters worse, workers complain of Gestapo-like tactics used by Food Lion's interrogation team to question supposed rule violators. One employee claims she was locked in a room and repetitively asked if she stole anything. The interrogation team would not take "no" for an answer, and after an hour of questioning, the worker finally signed a form saying she had taken some baked goods. Again, this worker was within months of being accepted into the profit-sharing program. Current and former employees of Food Lion have filed their complaints with the Department of Labor's wage and hour division in hopes of being compensated. Congress is also hearing testimony from the disgruntled employees. It's too bad that it is going to take federal action to resolve the case. North Carolina is a predominantly non-union state which has prided itself on employer-employee relations. But incidents like the Hamlet fire and Food Lion's wage and hour violations threaten our image as a successful state in which unions are not needed to see that employers don't take advantage of their employees. If indeed Food Lion wants to follow the North Carolina tradition, it will clean up its act without the help of the feds or the unions. The suit plans on being long and drawn out. Thus, it's up to the consumer, in the meanwhile, to put economic pressure on Food Lion so it will seek expedient act>°n to resolve the case. Therefore, my shopping is going to be done elsewhere.

Thursday, April 9,1992 Average ticket costs $15; but fines can go higher By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer and By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor By BECKY GRANGER Appalachian Staff Writer TICKETS PLAGUE STUDENTS: On the average, ASU traffic controllers write about 22,000 tickets per year. Above, Henry Crede issues a ticket to a student who is illegally parked. Average tickets cost $15. A problem that many students have during college is receiving fines from not utilizing their parking facilities correctly, said Roy Tugman, ASU Director of Public Safety and Security. According to Tugman, there is an "ample amount of parking for students" who register their cars. However, some students are not satisfied with their assigned parking spaces. Simply put, it is not physically possible to allow ^11 students to park where they would like to, Tugman said. The university attempts to control this problem by issuing traffic tickets to those students who illegally park their cars in reserved or other assigned parking spaces, Tugman said. Ten to 15 traffic controllers work about 20 hours a week each semester to help enforce the university's regulations. Their working hours are from 7 ajn. to 5:30 p.m. On the average, the traffic controllers write about 22,000 tickets per year. Average tickets cost $15, but they can range anywhere from $5 all the way up to $25. The cost for students to register their cars on campus is$70 per year. When students violate their parking assignments, they may receive a traffic ticket in a variety of ways and dollar amounts. See TICKETS page 2 Residence hall damages decrease by $4,000 By JENNY HARTWIGER Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University students who live in residence halls are no longer billed for collective dorm damages but the amount of collective damages in resi­ dence halls continues to decrease. Statistics indicate that collective dam­ ages in residence halls for the fall of 1990 amounted to $11,031.29 while$7,252.02 worth of damage was reported for the fall of 1991. Damages were distributed ratherevenly among all the halls with Doughton top­ ping the list twice, during the fall of 1990 and 1991. Doughton had $2,063.73 of damages during the fall of 1990, dropping down to $1020.31 the following fall. Some halls reported no damage for a semester including White, Coffey, Newland, Lovill and Belk. White was the only hall to report no damage for three straight semesters, from fall 1990 through the following fall of 1991. Winkler reported $902.48, the most amount of damage for the spring of 1991. Cunent spring damage is led by Justice a $967.91, the reported statistics as ofMarch 25.

Steam plant hires consultant to examine possible emissions violations By JEFF REID Appalachian Staff Writer Following its citation for emissions viola tons last summer, ASU hired a con­ sultant to help determine what course of action to take regarding the steam plant. Mechanical Engineers, Inc. has been charged with reviewing the overall ramifications of the university's steam generating plant, and making recom­ mendations to bring the plant into com­ plete compliance with regulations as well as prepare it for future growth of the campus, according to Dr. Ward Zimmerman, ASU vice chancellor for business affairs. "What we want is an effective and efficient steam generating unit to fulfill the university's heating requirements for the next 30 years, but it has to be an environmentally sound solution with enough flexibility to handle both current Air Quality Control Standards as well as any forseeable future requirements,"said Zimmerman. AppfcMn Photo by NothaSo Com STEAM PLANT TO BK KFFURBISHED: As a result of ASU's citation for emissions violations last summer, ASU has hired J^nsultam to help determine what needs to be done to improve the steam plant. For over 10 years. ASU has lobbied the North a^na legislating to receive approval to refurbish the aging facility, parts of which date back to 1929. Concern for the steam plant is not new. ASU has lobbied the North Carolina leg­ islature for over 10 years for approval to refurbish the aging facility,parts of which date back to 1929. for ASU to begin the process. "What we got is very pleasing to me," said Zimmerman, "In government work you often have to consider several different parameters, but in this case I feel that we are allowed to do it the best way pos­ sible." The state gave approval for ASU to hire a consultant and float its own bonds in order to pay for the entire process.The legislation is very flexible, allowing the university to float the bonds however it sees fit Financial firms will be on campus dur­ ing the next few weeks to determine just what bond rating ASU will recieve, based on the overall financial position of the university. "This is an extremely important time for us," said Zimmerman, adding, "I am confident that we will get a good rating." Mechanical Engineers, Inc. was- hired based on its history of work with steam plants for government municipalities, Zimmerman said. One project the firm worked with is the steam system that heats the government buildings in downtown Raliegh. The group will be responsible for reviewing the effects of the steam plant on economical and political levels, both current and future, and making recommendations that the university can then use to make the final decisions. One of the first noticable changes will be the construction of a weather station between the back fence of the baseball field and the tennis court near the ASU security office. The station will provide the university with information concerning the steam plant's emissions, but it will be used primarily as an academic tool, Zimmerman said. We hope that the more accurate data it provides will show that we are not actu­ ally in violation of the requirements, but we are still committed tosolving theprob­ lem," said Zimmerman. The station will be partially paid for by a grant, with other money coming from the Geography A Planning Depart­ ment According to Zimmerman, the refur­ bishment of the steam plant will beone of the biggest capital projects that ASU is currently undertaking, in terms of both cost and importance to the future of the school. "It is not a question of capacity," ha said. "We rarely run over 50 percent of our current capacity. The issue now is environmental impact and efficiency." �T The Appalachian. Thursday.

The problem is mainly because students who live on campus like to park their cars as close as possible to their dorms. But there is not enough parking to accommodate all of these stu­ dents. A positive aspect of parking for the students is thatthe traffic controllers "don't enforce the registration endof it on week­ ends" according to Tugman. For students who receive more than four traffic tickets, theircars will be towed at theowners' expense, $50. Tugman said that last semester the university towed about 270 cars. He explained that this is done because the university does not want students run­ ning up their tickets, and he said this is the best possible way to enforce this rule. BS 130 Hwv. 105 Ext..

Bang your head and feel the steel with ASU's metal band ASC News Bureau This is no ordinary heavy metal band. The Steely Pan band is, in fact, a groupof percussionists. These drummers produce a lot of sound, and the metal they play is much heavier than any guitar. Think of steel bands and you think of warm Jamaican breezes, up-tempo calypso music, colorful shirts and drinks with little umbrellas in them. When Appalachian State University's Steely Pan Band performs,audiences hear calypso music and such unlikely selec­ tions as classical, blues, rock and folk music. The band will perform in concert April 15 at 8 p.m. in room 119 of the Broyhill Music Center. Tickets are $2. Due to limited seating, advance ticket purchases are advised. Tickets are available from the School of Music office or from any Steely Pan Band mem­ ber. All of the music performed was ar­ ranged by director Scott Meister or band members. "We'll be playing everything from au­ thentic calypso to classical and mountain music," Meister said. Selections include Paul Simon's "Late in the Evening," "Under the Sea" from the movie"The Little Mermaid,"Handel's "Bouree" and a traditional Appalachian folksong "Leatherbritches." Guest artist Joe Amaya will lead the audience in "Ja­ maican Farewell." "If you've ever been to one of our concerts, you know we like to involve the audience as much as possible," Meister said. The steel pan band plays a variety of steel drums, some homemade, others crafted by 71-year-old EllieM anette, who invented the steel drum as it's known today. Proceeds from the concert will be used to purchase new steel drums from Manette. "Manette travels all over the country making his drums," Meister said. "You have to place your order two years in advance." The drums, made from oil drums, last forever if they don't rust, he said. . Each drum is different, as are the note patterns of each drummaker. Drums come in soprano, alto, tenor and bass tunings. The lead pan, played by Meister, has 28 to 30 notes. The bass pans, played as a set of four, each have five notes. The location of each note, some in the middle of the pan, others on the outer edge, make playing the instruments an athletic endeavor. "The lead and bass pans are the hardest to play," Meister said. "The bass pans have so few notes, players have a lot of movement from drum to drum."The lead pan, with its many notes, means tight controlled movement is needed to reach the outer notes. The band seldom plays in a traditional concert setting, preferring the more inti­ mate atmosphere available in rehearsal rooms or classrooms. "We like people to be right on top of us, to see what we're doing," Meister said. 'These perfor­ mances are for the people." The Steely Pan Steel Band has toured throughout the South at public schools, universities and Charlotte's Spring Fest.

The Appalachian State University De­ partment of Theatre and Dance presents the spring performance of the Appala­ chian Dance Ensemble, April 9-12 at 8 p.m. in Chapell Wilson Auditorium. Appalachian Dance Ensemble is a per­ forming group consisting of present and former ASU dance students who were chosen through an open audition last fall. Rehearsals began before Christmas and with agreat deal of hard work anddedica­ tion culminate in this spring's highly en­ tertaining concert This year's program consists of nine selections which vary widely in style and content There is everything from ballet to mime and modern to jazz including drama, humor, fantasy and just pure move­ ment The music is as varied including selections from "Fishbone,""Bela Reck" and "Shadowfax" among others. The choreography is created by both faculty members and advanceddancestudents. Director Marianne Adams, a mem­ ber of the Theatre and Dance faculty, has choreographed a modem piece which is highly energetic and uses patterns and groupings as its theme. She has also cre­ ated a lyric ballet in which the choreogra­ phy follows the musical form of the com­ poser Phillip Glass. Dr. Frank Mohler, Director of Theatre, is the lighting designer for this piece, in addition to the dance choreographed by Susan Lutz and the mime piece con­ structed by Teresa Lee. Faculty member Susan Lutz has cho­ reographed a large group piece that con­ sists of 18 dancers and takes a light- hearted look atrelationships between men and women. Teresa Lee, also a faculty member, has constructed a mime piece that uses move­ ment and theatre to tell its story. She has chosen a collage of music to further ex­ press the story. "I feel that this concert will be excep­ tionally entertaining with something for everyone," said Susan Lutz, co-director. "The caliber of the student choreogra­ phers is of the highest quality that we have ever had for the Dance Ensemble. They are all quite gifted and have worked ex­ tremely hard." Tickets for the Appalachian Dance Ensemble are $3 for students and $5 for non-students and are available from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.Monday through Friday at the Theatre and Dance box office located in room 134 of Chapell Wilson. A new sound sprouts from the Boone band bed in the Greenhouse Jy JOSEPH RAYLE Appalachian Staff Writer _ ^Ac°ustic guitars and congas probably f*11 the first things that come to mind , % en someone starts talking about rock n Toll bands. sharp contrast to the ethic of faster, and harder that prevails today, ~^*ene s own Greenhouse stands out for *M,ty to weave a hypnotic, grooving P^sitry of sound that is easy on the ears great to dance to. Founded early last fall by ASU stu­ dents Brad Batchelor and Tom Eure, Greenhouse is a band that manages to combine a number of influences to create a unique sound. "We're a pretty diverse group of people," said singer/songwriter Eure. "We have some common threads, but everybody pretty much has their own reasons for playing the music that we play." "I actually got started playing guitar because I wanted an instrument that was more portable than a piano," reported lead guitarist Batchelor. "My influences are people like Dickey Betts and David Gilmour. Both are kind of experimental in the way that they play, and that's what I'm out to do." Both guitar players primarily useacous­ tic guitars. While most songs feature Batchelor's guitar playing, the sound is much more mellow than that of the typi­ cal rock band. This isn't to say that Greenhouse lacks the ability to get into a groove and really smoke. The two-man rhythm section is responsible for both the rhythmic interest and drive of the band. "I guess thatI got started playing drums because I find it so physically and emotionally fulfilling. You could say that it is spiritual in some ways," said trap set player Alan Howse. Percussionist Mau Dewhirst is more to the point: "I feel it in my bones. There's this sense of release. It also gives me a sense of ground­ ing." The musical interests in the band vary widely. To different extents, everyone in the band likes the various types of improvisational music. "Mickey Hart is a big influence on me," said Howse. Eure draws some of his inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan and REM. "My songs just happen," said Eure. "I don't labor over them. A lot of the time the idea for the song comes together after I've written the tune." The band's name "means a lot of things," said Dewhirst, "but I guess you could think of how a greenhouse is a warm place for things to grow. As a band we're like that; everybody has the space to grow and experiment musically. We're klso into that idea of the importanceof the green movement." A technology major at ASU, he sees the potential of Greenhouse as a tool to teach people about energy conservation and the evils of clearcutting. He said, "It's like Thomas Berry said, we need to put the Bible on the shelf for about 100 years and. get back to taking care of the Earth so that we can sustain ourselves. The Earth isn't for us to domi­ nate." "Greenhouse also has the connotation of there being a sort of family atmosphere in the band," added Howse."We're close, and we like making music together."

C) n W VV O APPS ENTERTAINMENT CONNECTION 262-2766 �SPORTS Mets back in Series Appalachian Sports Editor By now you've had plenty of time to scoff at my prediction that the Chicago White Sox will win the American League pennant. Here's how I see things over in the National League. NL East—There are no real standout teams here, just plenty of "maybe" teams. That's miybe as in, "maybe they'll finish first, maybe they'll finish last." No team exemplifies my "maybe" theory more than the New York Mets, who despite one of the more talented lineups in baseball, could only muster 77 wins during the 1991 campaign. But the Mets have made a serious effort to improve themselves since last season and get the early nod as division favorite. In the off-season, the Mets lured mammoth slugger Bobby Bonilla from division kingpin Pittsburgh, signed Eddie Murray to plug the hole at first base, and unloaded malcontents Kevin McReynolds and Gregg Jefferies on Kansas City in exchange for two-time A1 Cy Young winner Bret Saberhagen. Two-time defending champ Pittsburgh has mortgaged its chance to win again to save some money. The Pirates not only lost Bonilla, but also had to trade potential free agent John Smiley to Minnesota and release save leader Bill Landrum and his huge contract. The Bucs do have Barry Bonds and Doug Drsbek back, at least for this season, so this team nil win some games. St. Louis surprised people by finishing second a year ago and should be tough again. Lee Smith led the majors with 47 saves, and Bryn Smith mchors a rotation that produced five 10-game winners a year ago. The Cards also have rising stir Felix Jose to build the offense around. Chicago can contend for the crown but must find replacements for departed leaders Rick Sutcliffe and George Bell. Ryne Sandberg, the game's best all-around performer, is always dangerous. If new skipper Jim Lefesvre can patch up the rag-tag pitching staff, the Cubbies may surprise. Philadelphia should be improved this year for one simple reason: Len Dykstra is healthy. Dykstrn, who missed a good portion of last Je«son after he slammed his car into a tree, is one of the grittiest players around and sparks the Phillies to another level when he's in the lineup. Montreal could finish as high as third in the division, but more than likely will grace the cellar. NL West—The question here is "Can the Braves repeat?" Atlanta certainly has the talent 10 be a serious threat for years to come, but I don't think they'll be able to sneak off with the Me like they did last season. Msny of the Braves had career years last lt4son- Terry Pendleton, left for dead by St touii before last season, had an MVP season in to first year in the city that Ted Turner built. Is capable of putting up similar numbers this *e**°n? Probably not. This season the Braves are the hunted, not the banter. Last season, even as the Braves contended in late August and early September, few •jw the squad as legitimate. This year, the NL Atlanta is for real and will come full Wei at the Braves. Atlanta will win 90 games this year, but Cincinatti will win the division. The Reds, after a world title in 1990, struggled or most of '91.

The Lady Mountaineers totaled 75 points to Wake Forest's 61 and breezed past Davidson 126-4. ASU was led ty junior Melissa Morrison and senior Michelle Rhyne who combined to capture five of the Lady Apps' eight first-place finishes. Morrison clocked a time of 14.3 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles to win and posted a mark of 37' 1/4" in the triple jump that was also good for first place. She went on to team with Alicia Foust, Alice Vinson and Lynette Gar din to win the 4 X 100 meter relay with a showing of 46.8 seconds. Rhyne captured both the discus and shot put with respective throwsof 128' 7" and 42'4" for the Lady Mountaineers. Freshman Precious Quire and seniors JanetOsada and Susan Inge captured the remaining first-place finishes for Appalachian. Quire jumped 17'6 3/4" to win the long jump and also finished thirdin the triple jump. Osada clocked 10:41.7 in the 3,000-meters while Inge posted 133' 3" in the javelin throw. "It was yet another unpredictable day for us weatherwise. It was cold and windy, and there were even some snow flurries. This marks three weekends with unkind weather. It seems like the weather is getting belter here in Boone, so hopefully as this happens we will see nice meets with nice weather," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. Those recording second-place finishes for the ASU squad included seniors Sabrina Hill, Monica Teeter and Dee Anna Davis, Vinson, and freshmen Tonie Lazenby and Charlotte Redden. Hill placed second in both the triple and high jump while Teeter produced a strong performance in the 100 and 400-meter hurdles. Davis finished in the3,000-meter run, and Vinson competed in the 200. Lazenby finished second in the 400 and behind Vinson at third in the 200, while Redden finished just behind the topspot in the 100-meters. Third-place finishers for ASU were seniors Tania Free and Carrie Robinson in the 800-meters and 400-meters respectively. Junior Sherri Miller fin­ ished third in both the discus and shot put, and sophomores Beth Burleson and Nicole Disher posted thirds in the 100 meter hurdles and 3,000meter respectively. Freshman javelin throwler Shairee Young and highjumper Cynthia Miner also finished in third for the Lady Apps. "The weather has really been frustrating for our athletes. It is tough to compete and not be in any warmer weather. Hopefully, coming up at Tennes­ see we will have nice weather and will be able to warm up for a good, solid performance," Weaver said. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to Knoxville to compete in the Dogwood Relays this weekend before returning home to host their only meetof the season on April 18, the Mountaineer Invitational. The Lady Apps will take part in the SC Champi­ onships on April 24-26 in Huntington, W. Va. Appalachian won last year's outdoor title and has won 16 consecutive overall SC Championships.

Appalachian men compete at Virginia meet 4 X 100-meter relay team captures only first place finish of the day for the Mountaineers By LYDIA CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State men's track squad trav­ eled to Charlottesville, Va., last weekend to com­ pete ina quad meet with the University of Virginia, the University of Maryland and Liberty. Despite the absence of over half of thesquad due to weather-impeding conditions on the Virginia highways, the Mountaineers who made it to the event produced a strong showing. The4X 100 meter relay team of Leander Watts, Frank Allen, Eric Joe and Jason Dalton captured the only first place for the Apps as they clocked a time of 41.78 seconds to win. ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian was particularly impressed with the efforts of the relay team. "It was so cold there and after these guys com­ peted in the relay and in the 100 meters, I pulled them from their races because I felt good about what they had done," Fereshetian said. "Despite the slower times, the sprinters all looked good, especially considering that Allen, Watts and Joe are all working off of injuries. I knew by their performances that we had gotten something out of the meet." Watts, a freshman, captured the only second place for the Mountaineers in the 100-meters with a time of 11.03. Third-place finishers included Allen, sophomore Dennis Gutknecht and freshman RyanTheil. Alien clocked 11.19inthe 100 meters, Gutknecht posted a mark of 14' 7" in the pole vault, and Theil landed 6' 4" in the high jump. Other strong performances for ASU came from junior Eric Roberts, sophomores Seane Worthy and Dalton. Roberts finished fourth in the discus with a throw of 138' 1", and Worth finished fourth in the shot put with a heave of 47' 10 3/4". Dalton recorded a time of 11.2 in the 100 meters to also finish fourth in that event. "For our team members to compete as strong as they did in these conditions is a good indication of what we can do in better weather. Out of those that competed, we did pretty well," Fereshetian said. "It is just very difficult to compete full force in this type of cold weather because the muscles cannot warm up to produce the most adequate results." ASU will travel to reigning NCAA track cham­ pion University of Tennessee to compete in the Dogwood Relays this weekend before returning home to host the Mountaineer Invitational on April 18. The Mountaineers will compete in the Southern Conference Championships on April 24-26 in Hun­ tington, W. Va. The Mountaineers are coming off an indoor SC title and finished second in the out­ door race last year. College considers guidelines for allegations Pasco-Hernando Community College under scrutiny for way rape allegations handled (CPS)—The athletic program at Pasco-Hernando ' place. A Pasco County sheriff'sdeputy looked into Community College has come under scrutiny for the allegation and decided the charge was un­ the way rape allegations were handled by the founded. The athlete reported to Bowman that he had school's athletic director. Two scholarship athletes were accused of rape, been questioned and cleared but failed to tell him but the school's athletic director, Bobby Bowman the nature of the allegation. According to school took their word that they did not force their accuser attorney Christy Hessler, Bowman never asked. All of the women involved in the cases were into having sex. Three months later, a third scholarship athlete students at the community college. was accused of sexually assaulting another woman The school's handling of the allegations caught in the same apartment where the first incident took the attention of Florida officials who are consider­ ing statewide guidelines for handling sexual as­ sault complaints on college campuses. A committee from Pasco-Hcmando Commu­ nity College is rushing to develop new guidelines that are expected to be announced soon. "At next week's meeting, the board will review suggestions for prevention and management re­ sponse programs. The prevention measures to be discussed include educating students about rape and the development of programs that encourage student discussion and awareness," said Dr.Milton O. Jones, president of the school. The community college investigation came to light following a widely reported case at the Uni­ versity of South Florida that involved a star athlete I who was allowed to continue to play basketball after rapeand battery allegations weremade against him.

According to university officials, the school has •searched such a system for five years. Despite such prior planning, such a ysvem is not needed at Appalachian. Tfie system will cost over $ 100,000 to install. To foot the bill, the university as raised the admission application fee from $15 to $25. The system can be laintained at a cost of $10,000a year according to Associate Registrar Don R. ankins. While the maintenance cost appears relatively low, and the installation cost ill come from prospective students, the system is simply not needed. Appalachian should strive to maintain the personal element in any and all xnmunication between students and administrators. One of this campus' ivantages is that it has a friendly atmosphere between students, faculty and aff. The university should be proud to continue such bonds, and not explore tea-natives which would detriment the personal touch. A telephone registration system would completely eliminate any human ntal Students now get to work one on one with a terminal operator. The udent can see immediately whether a request is confirmed or a course is mceled. Closed courses are less frustrating when a friendly terminal operator there to attempt alternate selections and work as long as it takes to get a hedule the student is satisfied with. Such one-on-one contact would dissolve a phone system is applied; students would have no guarantees that they could ay on the phone as long as it takes to arrange a schedule. A telephone registration system could also prove frustrating if students ceived busy signals when calling in. Students at other schools that use the stem frequently complainof getting busy signals and being unable to register ithout hours of hassle. While such problems may or may not occur at Appalachian, the system is still * needed. The current system works, so why change? The system is said to eliminate long lines during the registration period. Few «ients experience long delays. The system as it stands is very efficient, udents do not have to wait for extended periods of time. The terminal >erators, while providing that personal touch, get students in and out rapidly. ,e university appears to be trying to eliminate a problem that doesn't exist. The university's efforts to make things easier for students is appreciated; '^vever, telephone registration is not the answer for curing students' ills. While in the planning stages, Appalachian should reexamine its reasons for ding telephone registration. The current system adequately serves the 'dents of ASU, with few long lines and theadded pleasure of a personal touch. iTiinistrators should take a closer look at phone registration before spending ^ey for an unnecessary "convenience." Beware of credit card merchants When I was in high school, my parents always told me that no one would give me a credit card until I had graduated from college and had a full-time job with a good, steady income. Even then, I was told, I might have trouble getting a Mastercard or a Visa until I had estab­ lished some credit with a gas card. Neither my parents nor I realized how wrong they were until I got to college and, instead of denying me CTedit, people stood inside and outside the student union beg­ ging to give me some credit—up to $1,000 on one card. Now, what am I going to do with $1,000 credit when L don't even make that much in any given six-month period of time? It is ridiculous how easy it is for college students to get By TRACY TARLETON credit cards. Many organizations have used credit card Appalachian Commentary Editor applications as a type of fundraiser, as the organization represented by the man who accosted me in the student One day, upon walking through the student union, union.

There is no distinction. He led me to a huge table set up in the mini-mall area Credit cards used to be a good idea for college students and, true to my suspicions, shoved a Mastercard/Visa who havechecking accounts—we couldn't write a check application in my face, along with another application in any majordepartment store without producing a major that I didn'teven look at, along with a pen."Just fill these credit card.

However, it is now illegal for such stores to end of the table. ask for a creditcard as a formof identification.Therefore, I shook my head.

The first, also a good reason, is in case of "There's no obligation," he insisted. emergencies, especially for students who have cars that Yeah, right, I thought. might suddenly break down. I debated between trying to explain to this persistent The other reason, however, is probably morecommon: vendor thatI already have more creditcards than any full- access to money one wouldnot normally have.This is the time college student with a part-time job should legally reason that gets people in trouble. Credit cards are dan­ be allowed to have, or just walking away.I was in ahurry, gerous to those who aren't responsible with money. The and figured I'd be wasting my breath trying to explain least that could happen is ending up with a debt that takes myself, so I chose the latter. a couple of years to pay off. At the worst, a person who abuses his or her credit could end up in court or even in jail. If a person charges a lot and then makes only the minimum payment, the credit card company is likely to extend that person's credit The reason? The more the person charges, only making the minimum paymenteach month, the mote interest the company gets. A person who isn't good with money in the first place who then receives more credit is likely to charge more, therefore getting him or herself further and further into debt. The vicious cycle continues. The vendors who aggressively parade their applica­ tions upand down the student union aren't thinking about these things—they just want their 50 cents or dollar per application. Of course, it isn't really their fault They're just doing their job, trying to make some money for their particular organizatioa The blame for these problems falls on the shoulders of those who decide that the organization will use this type of fundraiser, and on the credit card companies who hand out credit to almost anyone who applies. And of course there is the argument I received— there's no obligation. No, I guess technically there isn't. However, you fill out the application, receive the card, and have two choices: either keep it and pay yet another annual fee (yes, even on the Discover card if you live in North Carolina), or cancel it in writing and cut up the card. But the fact is, if you're going to do that, what is the point in filling out the application and letting someone else go to the trouble to set up the account in the first place? Campus organizations, if you need a fundraiser, please consider some other, less dangerous type. You'll not only save a lot of people a lot of pain that can come from having too much credit, but you also won't annoy as many people by asking them to fill out applications they neither need nor want. By the way, this column is not based on personal experience. I have managed to avoid the many credit caid vendors who have approached me in the student union after I applied for and received my quota in credit cards.

Vendors alive and well in student union Students subject to accosts at any given time while walking through the union By MATTHEW McNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer How is the Plemmons Student Union like an airport? Well, besides serving bad peanuts, both places feature people ask­ ing you to fill something out or give them money. In the last two weeks I was asked to apply for a credit card, go to a picnic, help a"charitable" organization, vote for a certain candidate, and trade my coach tickets for two first-class tickets plus... never mind, that didn't happen. I work in the student union, so I am often going in and out. As a result of this, I have been assaulted many times. Before you can even get inside, they attack you outside of the entrance.There is always a table setup for credit card applications, and I am approached by someone with a Monty Hall philosophy. "Excuse me, how would you like to sign up to get our credit card? With it, you can buy all those things which you really don't need in the first place. For example, you could buy a $40 crock pot to"crock" beans overnight. Now you can have all the money you want, and it will only cause you to be in debt for the rest of your life. DidI mention that you get a 2-liter of Coke and a frisbee?" These tables have already caused me to apply, and receive, twoother credit cards. I usually tell them that, but itdoesn't help. "But with this card, you get money back, and you can let it just sit in your pocket." Sure, I can get money back, if I can find some kind of business that will take their recently established card. I tell them this, explaining that Boone is not a thriving beehive of credit commercialism—it's more like a wasp's nest of embroidered pillow merchants who either take cash only or a member of your flock. "But I'llgive you this Garfield voodoo doll to hang on your rear window."Great. Once inside I am either 1) told what is in a hot dog, or 2) asked to come to a picnic, at which I know absolutely no one. It would be interesting to see these two tables argue what the menu of the picnic should consist of. "Hotdogs have lips, eyes, noses, throats, intestines, raindrops on roses and whis­ kers on kittens!" The ashamed meat-eater usually low­ ers his head and utters, "Yeah! So what?" because hot dogs are as American as Jim andTammy. We wereraised on them (hot dogs, not the Bakers). A few days ago, during elections, two candidates were sitting in the union. One candidate sat contently, waiting for people to ask questions.The other had a complex web of operatives stationed around the union. By the time you got to the bookstore or Walker, they would rappel, down the side of the building yelling "hut, hut, hut" and show me how their candidate had been recommended by more people that I didn't know (because I don't go to many pic­ nics). It's pretty unfair that we are preyed upon in the union. Everyone at this col­ lege is fairly polite, and certain factions know this. You are in your own little train of thought when it is derailed by solici­ tors. And you feelcompelled to smile and either walk, like a Caesar Romero film' star, to their table, be nice and turn them down, or drop the largest, fattest lie in their faces. "Excuse me, sir/ma'am/sucker, could T take a few minutes of your time?" they; plead. "I'm sorry, I would help you but I need to go to language lab this very instant They might start without me," you say before turning into the Sweet Shop. If you are like me,you are wasting your life away. (Don't try to be like me, it will just cause problems). If you can't stand the people who bother you in the union, then raise your hand and say sternly, "I'm sorry I'm not interested,"and walk away If you really want toget mean, vote for the other candidate. I did. Readers against activity center THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON © 1991 Universal Press Syndicate ASU's priorities way out of order To the Editor: A professor of mine once said that if you want to see where a school's priorities lie, don't listen to the school's talk, look at what is being built on campus. If this is true, thai plans to construct the Student Activity Center and a new administration building should cause those of us who are concerned with the future of ASU to call for a change in the administration's priorities. It is time for university officials to focus on providing an education to students which will leave them competitive in the professional and academic environment. ASU is in dire need of an expanded library, renovation of decrepit buildings such as SmithWright, and improved equipment and resources within individual depart­ ments. The scarce funding available, however, continues to go toward projects unrelated to academics. This issue has been raging for as long as I have been a student here, yet the university refuses to change its position. My guess is that the adminis­ tration feels that their "problems will graduate." Concerned students, faculty, staff and community members should commit to continuing protests against the SAC and other unnecessary building projects until the university responds to those it claims to serve. Incidentally, I find it ironic that the students, specifically the 1991-1992 senior class, have decided to show where their priorities lie by establishing a library fund as the class gift. We can only hope that the popular maxim will prove true, "If the people lead, the leaders will follow." Angie Brunson ASU Box 15986 Money should be spent on academic projects To the Editor: In a year when the fiscal climate in Raleigh is especially bleak, officials in charge of Appalachian State University's building needs continue to advocate their frivolous and heavily unpopular plan to construct the socalled Student Activity Center. The Appalachian version of the Dean Dome has never been popular among students and professors and indicates a poor choice of priorities when academic needs are going unmet The bond bill referendum which is hoped to fund the SAC and other NC system projects is going to be difficult to pass at best without such controversial projects included. At issue are two major problems with the SAC: environmental and student funding. The huge facility would require slashing hill tops and filling in valleys. This would occur in the middle of the university's environmental study area which is already known to contain endangered plant species and archaeo­ logical remains. Funding for the $25 million project calls for approximately $10 million state funds, $10 million in student support and $5 million in donations. The $10 million in student fees for a coliseum is unprecedented North Carolina system students have never had to pay anything for other such facilities. For about 10 years, every full time Appalachian student would pay about $500 in fees over the 4-5 years it takes to get a degree. Appalachian students in a recent poll (April 16 & 17,1991) voted 1025 to 389 to oppose the SAC. Daryl Ghent, SGA President, stated at the time that the turnout was impressive and that the SGA would follow the majority of students in opposing the project. Appalachian faculty voted 2-1 against the project in 1990, and in 1991 the Faculty Senate unanimously opposed fees being deducted for the SAC. Legislators in Raleigh are closely watching university priorities. Dan Blue, Speaker of the NC House, recently wrote in response to Appala­ chian student letters, "It is reassuring that so many of today's students realize the demands on our educational systems and are willing to forego a fancy new building in order to ensure quality in the classroom." How long will it take Appalachian officials to get the message? Harvard Ayers Professor, Anthropology Department �i The Appalachian Thur^av, April Q /0<fi> !

"The two tickets engaged the univer­ sity community in debate, and that's the whole idea behind the process. That is how it should be done," said Gurley. Another reason therun-off election was smoother is because there were not as many mismarked ballots as in the initial election. Mismarked ballots included bal­ lots with two tickets marked, tickets with erasures, or write-in candidates "Poll workers madesure they explained to people the way their ballots must be (in order to be counted)," said Robinson. "Instructions were also written on the ballots for the run-off election." Gurley said he feels the run-off elec­ tion really helped them. "Some of our people were more confident than they should 've been going into the first elec­ tion. The run-off election enabled us to see where we could improve our vote counts," said Gurley.

Privatizationof industrial production is not moving fast in Russia because of "the few voices in the government that do not want to give up their power, because they realize when they give up their control on See NOTKIN page 4 Program helps keep campus clean By AMY CARVER Appalachian Staff Writer IN ASU'S NATURAL BEAUTY: Appalachian students frequently relax on the mall or other campus areas which are with the cool mountain temperatures and scenic beauty. Adopt-A-Campus, which recently began, hopes to preserve the ^3 beauty by allowing groups and organizations to clean the various areas of campus weekly. Since the end of February, 22 areas in the Adopt-a-Campus program have been adopted by 25 ASU clubs and organiza­ tions. The program is a campus-wide clean-up program initiated by Alpha Beta Psi, the National Accounting Fraternity, in correlation with the Environmental Issues Committee as well as Jim Rice, the Campus Recycling Coordinator. The kickoff day for the Adopt-a-Campus program was the weekend of Feb. 29, 1992. Although its most recognized purpose is to keep ASU's campus as clean and presentable as possible, another inten­ tion, and perhaps a more important one, is to heighten the awareness of those clubs and organizations participating on the is­ sues of recycling. "The litter on campus is created 99 percent of the time by the students. If the students take an active role in cleaning up after themselves, maybe it will make them realize that there are environmental con­ sequences to all of their actions whether large or small," said Rice. In coordinating the project, it was de­ cided to divide the campus into 36 sec­ tions thatorganizations or clubs can adopt. The responsibilities of each organization or club will be as follows: the areamustbe cleaned once a week, the recycling mate­ rials should be separated and placed in the appropriate recycling bins on campus, and the group should try to use the plastic bags from the marketor grocery store and then recycle them. In return, the club or organization will be publicly recognized on a full-page advertisement in The Appalachian. This program sounds rather demanding in re­ gards to cleaning the campus once a week; however, each area is not limited to one group for adoption. By having more than one group adopt an area, your club or organization's re­ sponsibility will be cut 50 percent or more. The clubs and organizations participat­ ing are: SAVE, PAL, Hoey Residence Hall, White Residence Hall, Newland Residence Hall, East Residence Hall, Kappa Delta, LambdaSigma Alpha,Bap­ tist Student Union, Beta Alpha Psi, Gardner Residence Hall, ZAPEA, Bowie Residence Hall, Highland Biological Club, the Student Government Associa­ tion, The Appalachian Geological Soci­ ety, Alpha Kappa Psi, Kappa Alpha, Westminster Fellowship, Criminal Jus­ tice Club, Scabbard and Blade, WASU, ASU Student NCAE, Young Republi­ cans and Residence Life (CRSA). Rice said that many areas still need to be adopted in order to make this program a complete success. A coalitionof groups cleaning up trash on campus alleviates many hours of labor for the maintenance workers on campus as well as saves a great amount of money for the University, Rice said. This allows the workers who normally spend many hours a day picking up trash to be reallo­ cated to other projects that help enhance Appalachian even further. Rice said. If your organization has any interest or questions concerning Adopt-a-Campus please contact Dr. Rebecca Kaenzig at 262-6207, Dr. John Callahan at262-2746, or Jim Rice at 262-3109. Refund policy changes approved by trustees for Appalachian students ^VAN-DA NELSON chian News Editor ^ Stents may receive more cash back withdrawing from the university, 8 March 20 decision by the ASU °f Trustees. " board voted unanimously to ap^ ®I*oposal which allows students to 8 90 percent refund if they with^ Fjj. uring the drop/add period, which is five days of classes. Prior to this decision, students received a 60 percent refund. All refunds exclude advance tuition and housing deposits. Other changes allow students to re­ ceive a 60 percent withdrawal refund if they withdraw during the sixth to 15th day of classes, up from 40 percent. During the period from the 16th to 25th day, students will receive an additonal 10 percent, up to 30 percent from 20. After the25th day of classes, there is no available refund. This day also coincides with the last day when students may drop a class without any academic pen­ alty. No changes were made in the policy which allows students to receive a 100 percent refund if they notify the school before classes begin. Withdrawal from the university and the concept of continuing enroll­ ment while altering academic courseload can be a source of confusion to some students, said ASU Registrar Brooks McLeod. To withdraw means to leave the uni­ versity for that particular academic pe­ riod, but dropping classes simply revises the amount of hours in a student's courseload, McLeod said. Changes were also made in the refund policy for students who reduce their aca­ demic load. Students will receive 10 percent less than before, down to 90 percent from 100, if they reduce their academic loads during the drop/add period. After the five day period, students who reduce their academic load have no avail­ able refund. "We think one week is enough time to make up their minds. There is a difference between withdrawal, which usually occurs due to circumstances beyond the student's control," McLeod said. The refund is automatically credited to a student's account but a check can be issued at the student's request, according to McLeod. The UNC system, whichdoes not have a policy to govern the institutions' refund policy, leaves the decision up to the indi­ vidual schools. McLeod added that ASU's refund policy is consistent with that of other schools'. When students faceconfusion with the refund policy, McLeod suggests turning to the registration newspaper which lists the available courses. All policies are listed in the bulletin. �77K Appalachian Tuesday. April 7 IQQ?

" __ ___ Student union construction slated By ASHLEY MITCHELL Appalachian Staff Writer Construction of the new student union begin May 18 to avoid disruption of the spring semester. The plans for the student union have been finalized, approved by the state and are currently available to potential con­ tractors. Bids will open on April 30, and the contract will be awarded to a contrac­ tor. By approximately mid-September, renovation is scheduled to be complete on the second floor and parts of the first will floor of the union. All offices from Work­ man Hall will then move into the student union. After Workman Hall is razed, the new building will be built on the lot between the union and Workman Hall. Construc­ tion fences will be up this summer and fall. The parking lot behind this lot will be closed for two years because the office trailer will be located in that area. The process of delays has been benefi­ cial with plans being fine-tuned to make a better student union in the long run, said Dave Robertson, director of student pro­ grams. Some highlights of the plans are that the mini-mall will turn into an art gallery and a multi-cultural center. The game room will soon be the permanent officeof Outdoor Programs. There will be 13 conference rooms, a study room, computer room and a fit­ ness center. The snack bar will be twice as big as the Sweet Shop and have a wider variety of food. Robertson is working with a group of students from SGA to come up with new policies. They are currently working on a naming scheme for the rooms of the union. J Reunion.

House aides say. But House education leaders also dropped a controversial plan to convert the grant program to an entitlement with guaranteed funding. Some Democrats joined conservatives in questioning the cost of the plan, which was approved by tbe House education committee last year. The most recentaction effectively ends debate on the entitlement plan, at least for this year. The Senate already dropped its entitlement plan in February citing a lack of support. Many student groups and educators expressed disappointment with inaction by Congress, saying an entitlement would have provided needed guarantees to lowincome students struggling to pay for college. As an entitlement, Pell Grants would no longer be subject to the annual appropriations process that often leaves the program short of its authorized fund­ ing level. "We agree that this bill is a step for­ ward, but we're disappointed that the House could not bring forward a bill that is a giant step forward," said Selena Dong, •/ legislative director for the United States Student Association. Dong said she expected sponsorsof the entitlement to introduce a separate bill on the plan sometime in the mid-1990s. Elsewhere in its bill, the House also authorized a pilot program of direct stu­ dent loans provided through the govern­ ment to colleges and universities. More than 100 schools are expected to partici­ pate in the program, congressional aides say. Under the plan, colleges would take over the duties of banks in processing and administering student loans, with the Department of Education taking over the principal oversight role. The Bush ad­ ministration has expressed opposition to this plan. The bill also would remove equity in a home or farm as a factor in determining a family's eligibility for major student fi­ nancial aid programs.In addition, it would broaden eligibility for student loan pro­ grams to include students from families earning as much as 575,000 a year. The full House approved the bill by a vote of 365-3.

Bush does not support direct loan pro posals. He has said reauthorizing current student loan programs is better than try­ ing to revamp thesystem with direct loans and has expressed consistent support for broadening the guaranteed student loan programs. Bush told The Chronicle of Higher Education that he thinks that students with good grades should get larger grants. His proposed "Presidential Achievement Scholarship" would offer $500 to Pell Grant recipients who main­ tained good grades in high school and college. "Common sense tells us that tying per­ formance to reward is an effective way to motivate our children to strive for higher achievement," he said. President Bush has said he opposes giving federal financial aid in return for community service. He claims such a tool would "preclude" some students from receiving aid if they could not perform such service. With regard to political correctness is­ sues, Bush says he adamantly opposes the movement. "On too many campuses, an atmosphere of real intolerance for dis­ senting or unfashionable political opin­ ions has developed," he said in a White House release, citing speech codes, one­ sided curriculum requirements and limited guest lectures as part of the prob­ lem. He expanded on his concern about PC in The Chronicle: "It's ironic that at the same time the rest of the world is throw­ ing open its doors—and universities—to democratic values, some U.S. students are being prevented from sampling the wares for a free and open marketplace of ideas. "Intending to correct past injustices, political correctness all too often has the effect of replacing old prejudices with new ones." Concerning overall education issues.

In 1991, the program's second year, Appalachian diverted more than 155tons from its 2,400-ton yearly waste stream. The university is making significant progress toward meeting the 25 percent recycling mandate for all state agencies by 1993. While the program's first month saved 320 pounds from landfills, its fif­ teenth month saved 26,969 pounds. The program will grow through the addition of a cardboard baler and expansion to residence halls. "We hope recycling at Appalachian will be as much of an experience for students as homecoming and sledding down the upper stadium field," said Pro­ gram Director Jim Rice. Stan programs. By the year 2000, the president said he hopjes that every adult American will be literate and have "skills necessary to complete in a global economy and exercise the rights and responsibili­ ties of citizenship." Campaign staff for Pat Buchanan, Bush's chief Republican opposition, did not respond to repieated requests for back­ ground information on his views on higher education or to requests for an interview with the candidate. However, Buchanan released the fol­ lowing statement about his views on pub­ lic education: "American education is in a state of decline, largely the result of an ever in­ creasing education bureaucracy, and a lack of compietition within the system. From affirmative action in hiring, to bus­ ing for racial balance and assaults on uniform, standard testing, too much ideo­ logically motivated experimentation has been inflicted on public schools. fr =^\ Save the Rainforests House-Senate conference committee that will try to resolvedifferences between the completing House and Senate pirop»sals.

SMITH ^palachian Et Cetera Editor By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Just when students were beginning to give up hope of ever finding a summer internship or job, Appalachian s Hospitality Management Student Association sponsored Appalachian Springtime, a two-day program to offer career ideas. The March 25-26 program attracted industry recruiters to campus and was designed to demon­ strate Appalachian's student hospitality potential. "The program helped to show that there are summer jobs available during a time when every­ one is concerned with the recession," said Dr. Michael Evans, the faculty advisor for Hospitality Management. As a result of Appalachian Spring­ time, several job offers were extended. The first event of the program, which took place at the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center, in­ volved everyone in a casino night. Students were able to play casino games while a blues band played in the background. Participants were able to win sweatshirts and other prizes. Several different companies, some local, and others from out of state, were represented in the evening's event. "The casino night was something that no one else was doing," said Evans. "It makes us unique. It showed recruiters that ASU has a good program and is fun." The second day of Appalachian Springtime con­ sisted of a formal dinner and interviews. The din­ ner, a gourmet event attended by about 50 people, was organized and carried out by students. or §'*4 ••There were Three Estates in Parliament; but, Reporter's Gallery yonder, there sat a l oUrth Estate more important far then they all.

In the way we argue, voice our opinions, id practice our beliefs is every American's ght. However, the rights of the students of ASU rere •violated on March 24, 1992. In my interpretation of the words that present this country, people are free to voice eir opinions as long as it does not infringe on e rights of other people. AS U students did not even have the choice of hether or not they wanted to pick up The ppalachian. My friends came up to me all day and asked here the newspaper was.

The involved people done the same thing that these legislative Jle® do, except on that day they took their jj and every other person's rights away as "It was executed as if it were a five-star hotel," said Evans. "From the beverages, to the menu, to the table settings...it gave good practical experi­ ence in event planning." A career fair was also held on the second day of Appalachian Springtime. The fair was open to everyone and was represented by several different companies. The Hospitality Management Student Associa­ tion raised the funds for Appalachian Springtime by having an auction last fall. The association auctioned off goods and services donated by local businesses. Approximately$800 was raised for the casino night, dinner and interviews that made up Appalachian Springtime. This was the fifth year that Appalachian Springtime has taken place and will hopefully continue to be an annual tradition. However, this year seemed to be much more successful than previous years. "This yearrejuvenated theprogram,"said Cheryl Martin, one of the special events coordinators of Appalachian Springtime. "It gave a whole new impression." James Lingle, president of the Hospitality Management Student Association, agreed. "It gave back dignity that was lost in the past," he said. Lingle described one of the benefits of Appala­ chian Springtime asa chance tomeet withpotential employers and talk on a less formal basis. Students should be less nervous going into an interview and will "have an opportunity to see how people will perform when, sooner or later, they have to get together for a power luncheon in a nine-to-five job."

The Recycling Bin Tropical rainforests need to be a major human concern By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer Tropical rainforests are one of the last unex­ plored areas on our Earth. So little is known about these mystical treasures, and they may all be gone before all their tales have been told. Tropical rainforests make up less than 7 percent of global land surface, but contain over half of all living species, plants and animals. Most people's image of a rainforest is from Hollywood jungle movies, likeTarzan, but rainforests are much more complex than that image in our mind. A rain forest has many layers. The toplayer is the canopy, a dense cover of vegetation formed by the treetops. It is the most fertile layer, and most life grows and dwells within tlris dense forest ceiling. Beneath this layer is the understory, which contains small tress, brushes, etc. The bottom layer is the forest floor. There is not much growth on the floor because sunlight rarely reaches below the canopy. Despite their beauty and serenity, rainforests are constantly being destroyed. Approximately 55,000 square miles are destroyed every year.That is the size of New York State. Originally, there were 8 million square miles of rainforests, but only 3.4 million exist today. Why are they being destroyed? Cattle ranching is one of the biggest reasons rainforests are disap­ pearing. Forests are clear-cut so cattle can have grazing land. Another reason is the need for trees. Trees bring us paper, lumber, plywood, food, etc. Tropical hardwood trees are excellent for furniture because they are strong and durable.

For jump balls, each team goes to its at Appalachian State University stands side of the pool, and the ball is placed at mid-court. Then each team paddles furiously to get the ball. There is a neutral zone in front of the basket. No basket can be made from the zone. "We've never had any injuries in water basket­ ball," said Blanton. "But for precaution, there is always a certified lifeguard at every game, and it is played in the shallow end of the pool. "If I had to delete every team sport in the pro­ gram except one, I'd keep water basketball, since it's the most fun," said Blanton. There are only 15 water basketball teams in the league this year compared to the most popular team sport, basket­ ball, which drew 175 teams this year. Since there are so few teams, the playing season for water basketball is only three weeks long. "For me, intramurals are a stress reliever," con­ tinued Burton. "It takes my mind off my school work. I get to meet people, too. Intramurals keep me busy and make me organize in order to get things done. And I have to stay busy to get every­ thing done." Water basketball is not the only intramural sport played in Broome-Kirk's pool. Water polo and swim meets are other water events. Water polo is not a co-rec event. It is played in the deep end of the pool. Players swim and tread water to try to throw a ball in the opposition's net. The intramural swim meet is held in the fall. Individuals and teams compete in regular swimming events. For more information on water sports call the Intramural Sports office at 2622100. Or to know more about the pool in BroomeKirk Gym, call the pool manager, Anna Faust at 262-3035.

Boyd, an independent film­ maker and assistant professor at West Virginia State College, will show two of his films, "Invasion of the Space Preach­ ers" and "Paradise Park," April 14 and 15 at Appalachian State University. Aprii 7 "Boyd's perspective is different in that that it's not an outsider's view," Dr. Jerry Williamson said. Williamson, an English professor and editor of the Appalachian Journal, arranged Boyd's visittocampus. "Boyd is a West Virginia boy and has a West Virginia sense of humor about how big city culture views mountain culture," he said. Boyd's hillbillies aren't the stereotypi­ cal lazy, uneducated and barefoot beings. "Tt'< C__ "It's nnp fKtnn UfKan HAM. one thing when someone from *-% % • Cali­ fornia depicts mountain people as subhumanoids," Williamson said. "When Daniel Boyd plays with stereotypes, he does it with a wink. And his mountain audiences get the joke." Boyd's playful portrayal of hillbillies has earned him the nickname "Mel Brooks of the Boon­ docks." Boyd's characters often turn the tables on their big city counterparts. In "Para­ «. n < • . —- — dise Park," his latest film, residents of a West Virginia trailer park realize the high cost of government handouts. "Paradise Park is the only film I know of that's the hillbilly's answer to the John­ son era's war on poverty," Williamson said. "We hear from the people who were objects of society's and government's pity." The film features appearances by Dusty Rhodes, Porter Wagoner, T. Graham n T* •• J *1 « . Brown, Razzy Bailey and silent-screen star Lina Basquette. Basquette, now a top show judge and breeder and handler of Great Danes,starred inCecil B. DeMille's "The Godless Girl" in 1928.

King Street • 264-5500 Continued from page 5 Increasing global populations force the acceleration of deforestation because people need wood for housing and land to live off. Many undevelopedcountries have large debts to other countries so they encourage theproductionofexports, beef, coffee and timber. Deforestation is not just a problem that occurs in far-off lands. It is happening in our own backyards. The United States has small rainforests in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa. The biggest threats in these areas are urbanization and recreational devel­ opment. So why should we protect these forests if they give us so much? If we lose the rainforests, we will lose more than just beauty and some trees. Many species of plants and animals call the rainforests their home. If we destroy their homelands, then they will die, too. These species cansurvive nowhere else in the world. Many native people also live within the forest. They have been living off the forest and its products for centuries. They can teach us about herbal medicines and farm­ ing and give us an insight into our past. Foods that we take for granted, like coffee, bananas and spices,come from the rainforests. Many plants are used for medi­ cines, and only 1 percent of the plants have been tested for medicinal purposes. Rubber products come from trees in the forests, but is it unnecessary to cut down trees to get the rubber. $5 Admission $1 off with ASU ID (To Comedy Only) Comedian Leroy Seabrooks 5ave the rainforests... and the palm trees!!

April 7.1992 SPORTS Sox will win AL Forget about ungodly salaries, New York Mets sex scandals, arbitration and the saga of the sale of the Seattle Mariners to Japanese investors, at least for a little while. It's time for baseball—the game, to preempt baseball—the soap opera. Yes, the 1992 major league season began yesterday, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Now the scene shifts from such burning questions as "Is Ryne Sandeberg (or anyone, for ihat matter) worth $7 million a season?" and 'Should the Seattle Mariners be owned by the le group that brought us the Super Mario •os.?" Beginning yesterday, the main topics of lertable discussion are: "Can the Braves do it again?" and "Can Toronto live up to its massive lason billing?" It seems that all the fans or two-bit sports writers think they have the answer to these pdother questions. But they're wrong. Here's how the 1992 American League season will Him out. AL East—Toronto should win this division tads down. The Blue Jays have the talent to withe division by 20 games. The trade that taght Joe Carter and Roberto Alomar north of lie border was one of the best deals in the past years. The Jays also welcome World Series IVP Jack Morris to a pitching staff that's as [deep as any in the league. Boston is the only team capable of making a tun at the Blue Jays, not that the Red Sox are Ihat good, mind you. But considering the talent in the rest of the division, the Bosox are a lock for second, and should the Blue Jays fall flat on Iheir faces, rookie skipper Butch Hobson's hunch could sneak away with the crown. Keep an eye on ex-Met Frank Viola, who will tnerapt the near-impossible and try to become a successful left-hander in Fenway Park. The Sox have not had one since Bruce Hurst and are hanking heavily on former Cy Young winner "iola. The rest of the teams in the AL East could •ind up anywhere from third to seventh. S—tm s. THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, April 7,1992 ASU ends slide MS m i Mountaineers sweep double header from N.C.A & T Appalachian Staff Reports Appalachian State snapped an 11-game losing streak with a doubleheader sweep of North Caro­ lina A&T State University at Red Lackey Field Friday. The Mountaineers won the first game 4-1, then won the second game 13-11. The two non-confer­ ence wins moved ASU's record to 9-23. gy SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor \ Appalachian trailed the opening game 1-0, but scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to take the lead for good. Scott Carter earned the w in for AS U to record his first decision of the season. Marcus Neal was saddled with the loss for the Aggies to fall to 0-2 on the year. In the second game, Sean Pepin provided the most offense in a high-powered game, going threefor-three with three runs batted in and three runs scored. The Mountaineers scored in every inning except the first in the 13-11 win and ripped three Aggie pitchers for 14 hits. The hardest hit of the A&T hurlers was Bruce Cozart, who gave up eight hits and eight earned runs in 2.2 innings of action. Gary Davis picked up the win for ASU, improv­ ing his record to 2-4. Cozart took the loss and fell to 0-5 on the season. Georgia Southern's Jim Carragher pitched a four-hit, one-run complete game to lead the Eagles to a 7-1 Southern Conference baseball win over Appalachian State at Red Lackey Field Sunday afternoon. The loss dropped the Mountaineers to 9-24, including a 3-9 mark in the Southern Conference. The Eagles are 18-18 and 9-4 in the SC. Georgia Southern took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. After John Ficklin led off with a single and moved to third with one out on Kevin Hallman's single, Craig Cassedy knocked Ficklin in with a sacrifice to right field. Appalachian managed to knot the contest with its only run of the game in the bottom of the third inning. Randy DeBruhl led off the inning with a single to center. DeBruhl advanced to third on two fielding errors by the Eagles, then scored on Chris Chilton's sacrifice fly to center. From there, Georgia Southern dominated as the Mountaineers could get only three baserunners into scoring position the rest of the game. The Eagles picked up what proved to be the game-winning run in the fourth inning. With runners on first and third and two outs, Georgia Southern got back-to-back singles from Mark Dean and Bryan Wiggins that drove in two runs. The Eagles added two more runs in the fifth and one run in thesixth and ninth innings to account for the final margin. Carragher is now 7-2 on the season for Georgia Southern. Chris Vullo, now 1-5, took the loss for ASU. Vullo gave up seven hits, two walks and five runs with six strikeouts before giving way to Steve Bronack with one out in the fifth inning. Bronack pitched the remainder of the contest, allowing three hits and two runs in over four innings of work. AL West—Without a doubt, this is the best Jhion in baseball.

College apologizes for racial slurs at basketball game Western Montana College promises to tighten security to prevent heckling at basketball games (CPS)—Western Montana College has sent a letter of apology to Rocky Mountain College and its basketball team for racial slurs shouted at black and Native American players at two separate basketball games. "A forma] apology has been issued to the play­ ers," said Monica Hildreth, a spokesman for Westem Montana College. According to witnesses, the taunts came from a group of four or five fans who focused on two blacks and two Native Americans on Rocky Mountain's team. "The students involved will bedealt with through the student conduct policy. This is the first we've ever known this to happen on our campus," Hildreth said. Rocky Mountain College basketball coach Jeff Malby said that the disruptive fans were not ejected because Western Montana security officials said they didn't hear them. Malby noted that there were also "isolated incidents" when Westem Montana basketball play­ ers taunted the Rocky Mountain players on the floor. "I was pretty proud of the way that the guys dealt with it...not lowering themselves to the hecklers' level," he said. "I think they used their better judgment." The coach added that he has been assured that Western Montana College would tighten security at the games to prevent a repetition of the hecklin which took place at back-to-back tournament gam Jan. 31-Feb. 1.

Of course we should all be used to it by now. We were brought upstanding in line. In elementary school, we got in line to go to lunch and to go on field trips. It was an easy way for our teachers to keep up with us and to make sure no one had been left behind, stranded in the toybox / looking for a lost G.I. Joedoll. But it was also preparation for adult life. In high school we didn't spend nearly as much time standing in line as we do now, but we still had to stare at the back of another person's head at lunch every day. My jsfow is the time for fall registration. Students are currently planning their average staring session lasted 15 minutes, and I always went in the a la carte line because it was shorter. Those hedules for the fall term and then registering for those prospective classes. who decided to be healthy and eat the regular school The planning stage of fall registration is the most important for any Appala- lunch had a much longer time to stand—up to 30 minutes lian student. For many of ASU's 11,367 students, this stage includes a visit sometimes. Even in the short line, I studied the backs of advising procedure to ie examined officials an academic advisor. The university is currently examining the state of academic advising in the jper-division colleges. Chancellor John E. Thomas' office sent out a survey update a General College questionnaire conducted three years ago. Those udents who participated in answering questions their freshmen year are now iked to respond to advising questions in this, their junior year. The survey can be very valuable for Appalachian and its students. The dvising procedure needs to be examined. The system apparently has few, if ly, guidelines, with each advisor applying only as much guidance ashe or she ems necessary. Each department apparently handles advising differently. The system is one that needs evaluation and reconstruction. As the system stands, each advisor and each student can follow some simple rocedures that will insure the advising process will be somewhat effective Mil major renovations occur. Professors who serve as advisors should be well-informed. They should be >e most informed with regards to the department offerings and graduation squirements. Advisors affect the lives of students. Students depend on them for advice; lerefore, they should offer informed advice and responsible suggestions. Students must alsoplay an active role in the planning process. Students, your ves arebeing affected. Plan ahead before you visit your advisor. Do not go to our advising appointment ill-prepared. Students, you should be responsible for your lives. It's time to take charge f your destiny and plan ahead. The university is taking an overdue look at the advising process. The process 1 one that needs to be examined. Once survey responses are in, the answers "•ould be tallied and appropriateaction should be taken to see that students are ^oiving the best possible advice, and thus, the best possible education. many hairdos during my high school career. I couldn't have imagined standing in line any longer, even for a healthy lunch ("healthy" meaning something other than a soybean cheeseburger and french fries.) Now that we're in college, the places that should advertise line-standing multiply. The average student stands in line several times a day and is so used to it that he or she does not even think about it. College students stand in line for nearly every meal, some lines being longer than others depending on the time of day and the location. We also stand in line at the post office topick up packages, in the bookstore to buy a pen to replace the one that decided it wasn't going to write anymore, in the library to check out books, at the bank to cash apaycheck, and once or twice a semester (sometimes more) at the registrar's office to sign up for classes. Having all these places to stand in line gives college students their one-hour-per-day quota for line-standing that most people don't have. Some places, and some times of day, are worse than others. Twelve noon seems to be the worst time on the ASU campus. Everywhere you go, there's a line. Every­ one on campus decides to eat at noon, everyone, that is, except the huge flock of people who decide noon is the best timeto check their mailboxes. It is a task for anexpert physicist to decide which would be the best way to get in and out of the post office at noon on any given weekday. Then we have lines at Food Service locations. The Gold Room seems to be theworst, mainly beeause, unlike other food locations, a line can form inonly one direction. The Food Court has its share of lines, mainly in the chicken tender and vegetable area, but then of course we have the line of people waiting on hamburgers. The cafeteria at lunch never has a problem with lines— the problem there is finding someplace to sit. Trivette's lines are also never really long. Of course compared to most restaurants, ASU Food Services does pretty well in this area. A Red Lobster in Raleigh gave me my worst experi­ ence standing in line. Red Lobster is a very popular chain of restaurants, the food is wonderful, and yet for some reason they have not recognized their own success enough to consider beginning a policy on reservations. There­ fore, at many Red Lobster locations, you can plan on waiting at least half an hour before being seated. One policy of theirs is the call-ahead policy, in which you can call the Red Lobster before you leave your house and they'll save aplacefor you in line.This is pretty lame considering they could greatly alleviate their line prob­ lem by taking reservations. Not all Red Lobsters have a big problem with making their customers assume they need to come an hour and a half earlier than they actually plan to eat. I personally have had bad experiences at one in Raleigh and one in Hickory and good experiences at two Charlotte Red Lobsters. And, of course. Red Lobster is not the only culprit. Almost any nice restaurant will require you on a weekend night to stare at the back of another person's head for a little while before you eat. The ASU Post Office also does pretty well with mov­ ing customersquickly through the line, atleast compared to some other post offices. At one post office in my hometown, some of the employees will have long con­ versations with the customers although there may be several other customers standing in line behind them. The only improvement I would advocate that would make standing in line much easier for ASU students is in the Food Court. Chicken sandwiches take several min­ utes to cook, so don't wait until they are all gone to put some more in the fryer. There have been incidences in which the Food Court has run out of chicken sandwiches and a whole line of students had to stand there and wait for five minutes while they cooked. Standing in line is much easier with a friend. Besides the fact that misery, and therefore impatience, loves company, having someone to talk to makes the time wasted just standing there go by much quicker. Also, just be glad you go to ASU. In some places, the lines are a lot longer. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson.She is majoring in French education. Bush has not lived up to his promises By ELIZABETH HORD Appalachian Staff Writer George Bush recently said that he will do whatever it takes to win re-election this year. This is a promise of another down-and-dirty campaign from the man who brought us the Willie Horton ads. It is also one of the few promises that Presi­ dent Bush will actually keep. The presidency of George Bush has been one of mixed messages and a lack of what he liked to call the "vision thing." From the moment he took office in Janu­ ary 1989, Bush has operated without a clear idea or plan of what he wants for America's future. His predecessor has even recently commented thatBush didn't seem tostand for anything. These mustbe harsh words for the incumbent president to hear. Although it may besurprising for some to see that our president has no plans or ideas, it is no surprise to people who have followed his political career. Bush not only doesn't have much to say about anything, when he does say something, he isn't likely to stick by it In 1980, when Bush made his first run for president he said in an interview to Rolling Stone magazine that he thought the Supreme Court's decision in the abor­ tion case Roe vs.Wade was correct. After he was defeated for the Republican nomination by Ronald Reagan and was chosen as the vice-presidential nominee, he quickly changed his position and be­ gan backing Reagan's anti-choice poli­ cies. When he got the Republican nomina­ tion in 1988 and hit the campaign trail, he was again making promises that, as we now have seen, he didn't keep. As you recall, Bush won the presi­ dency largely on his promise that he would not raise taxes, no matter what Congress tried to do. He didn't stick by this pledge very long. Bush disposed of his infamous "Read my lips, no new taxes," vow only months after he took office. In 1989, he proposed $6 billion in tax hikes to meet Gramm-Rudman deficit reduction stan­ dards. In early 1990, Bush's own budget called for $28 billion in new taxes and fees and during the budget deal with the Congress later that year. Bush publicly gave up on his "no new tax" pledge. Also on the 1988 campaign trail. Bush said that women who must leave their jobs temporarily after the birth of a child or to care for a sick relative should not have to worry about getting their jobs back. But, when the Congress passed the 1990 Family and Medical Leave Act, a bill designed to do exactly whatBush said needed to be done, he vetoed it. While the 1990 Civil Rights Bill was being debated in Congress, Bush labeled it a "quota bill" and vetoed it when it reached his desk. Unable to override the veto, Congress passed another Civil Rights Bill in1991 which included language that specifically prohibited the use of quotas in hiringpractices. Bush once again called it a "quota bill" and threatened a veto. He later signed a slightly different version of the bill that was essentially the same as the one he vetoed only a year before. Even in his perceived forte of foreign policy. Bush has again made promises that he just can't seem to keep. During the months leading up to Desert Storm, Bush went on and on comparing Saddam Hussein's actions in Kuwait to Adolf Hitler's actions in WoTldWar II. In Octo­ ber 1990, he reminded us that Hitler's actions resulted in war crime trials to his followers and implied that this is what would happen to Hussein, and in January 1991, Bush actually promised war crime trials for the Iraqi dictator. Soon after the war ended, in April 1991, George Bush returned to his promise-breaking ways by saying thatinstead of pressing charges, he would be willing just to get Hussein out of Iraq. Later that same month. Bush made it official when Assistant Secretary of State John R. Bolton said that the United States has no plans to find Hussein and bring him to justice. As the 1992 campaign season gets un­ derway and candidates from both parties take their aims at President Bush, the American people must remember this president's promise to do what it takes to win re-election. It is probably the only promise he intends to keep. Reader questions "why" column Issues should be taken more seriously To the Editor: I feel very strongly that as both a veteran and a concerned student I have a responsibility to respond to three of the points made in Wilfong M. Frazier's recent commentary entitled "Writer wants to know: Why ask why?" Operation Desert Storm was a war. Wars afe not easily explained or understood, even with intense discus­ sion. While I agree that each and every individual should have the opportunity to discuss the implications and consequences of war, it would be difficult for professors to allocate the time required to give such an inflamma­ tory and controversial topic the attention it deserves within their already rigid itineraries. War is a subject that is best pondered outside of the preset confines of the classroom with friends and loved ones, as I am most certain it was during the conflict. While the thought of the so-called "Christian" Knights of the Ku Klux Klan marching through Boone and Blowing Rock (or any American town, for that matter) is discomforting to say the least, I fear that his use of the word "ignore" will deliver the wrong idea to the public. Some 50-odd years ago, the citizens of the United States chose to ignore the hate-fueled, anti-semitic events occurring in Europe, events which led to the rise of the Nazi party, the near domination of that continent by fascist armies and six long and bloody years of war. Rather than ignore them, I would recommend that those who believe in the equality of all men and women should participate in the alternative events of Unity Week and simply not attend the march of the Klan and its misguided and intolerant following. Whatever the choice, we should all recognize that although the Klan is a nuisance, it is a nuisance much too , dangerous to ignore. In closing, I was very disturbed by Mr. Frazier's suggestion that the solutions to the anxieties created by the problems presented in his article can be found in the advertising slogan of a beer commercial. Having worked in a hospital emergency room for several months, I have witnessed first-hand the pain and suffering brought about by the abuse of alcohol, both to troubled individuals and to those who love them dearly. To advocate turning to the bottle for comfort, as Frazier suggests, is both irresponsible and lacking in journalistic ethics, and I would insist that your publication think twice before jesting with such a serious subject again. edition of The Appalachian. First of all, I agreed with a large majority of what was presented. Women are treated unfairly in the American society and until people begin speaking out against the unfairness, it is likely to continue. What I decided to address was the statement that women have undergone unnecessary persecution this past year because of a crime they did not commit. I wonder if Smith realizes that William Kennedy Smith underwent unnecessary persecution also? I am tired of hearing people badgeT William Kennedy Smith for a crime he obviously didn't commit. Any reasonable person would realize that the testimony presented at the trial pointed to the acquittal of Kennedy Smith, plain and simple. It took the jury 79 minutes to come up with a verdict, and Kennedy Smith spent over $1 million trying to prove what really happened. In my opinion, that is unnecessary persecution. I wonder if Smith ever realized that Kennedy Smith also had nothing to win and everything to lose? To the Editor: I am a strong supporter of women's rights, but I am also a supporter of human rights. William Kennedy Smith was found not guilty; it wasn't even close; why should Patricia Bowman be commended for speafctag out and Kennedy Smith be in debt with a tarnished reputation for something that never took place?

If proposal is passed by the Board of in May, lodges for each indichapter will be constructed in a .^^rTiunity atmosphere on land behind iC jjroyhill Inn and Conference Center. -jTiedefinition of a lodge as given in the rC>posal, is "a building structure of suffi­ cient size to accommodate the needs of the individual organizations, including such things as a social room, chapter room, kitchen, parlor room and limited housing space with the option to expand housing at such time as the resources of the chapter allow and the Joint University Housing approves." "The lodge will be used for chapter meetings, social functions, Rush, initia­ tion, and it will also include housing for four to eight people," said Jim Street, assistant director for student involvement. "The greeks eligible to live in the lodges will be the executive officers of each sorority and fraternity. Due to the large expense of the lodges, the two African-American fraternities and one African-American sorority will not be involved in the development of greek housing based on the small number of members in these organizations. Three organizations did not approve the pro­ posal: Alpha Phi, Kappa Delta and Tau Kappa Epsilon. (The Kappa Delta na­ tional president did not approve it and the Tau Kappa Epsilons have not responded.) The general statement of the greek housing proposal states, "The greek com­ munity is interested in an on-campus Greek Village that initially would provide programming space and limited housing with an opportunity for further expansion of the housing option as resources in the greek community allow. Any attempt of greek housing will include a cooperative effort among the university, thegreek undergraduate chap­ ters, alumni and respective national orga­ nizations." The funding of the construction will rest on the shoulders of each greek orga­ nization involved. A $50 assessment will be paid per semester to the university by every member of every chapter involved. This charge will be added to the mem­ bers' tuition fees. "The $50 assessment paid to the uni­ versity will be used to put in power, phone lines and other accommodations neces­ sary in the lodges. The funding for the construction of the lodges will come from national chapters, loans and alumni sup­ port," said Jennifer Wyatt, president of the panhellenic council. "If more greeks want to live in the lodges after a period of time, an expan­ sion of the lodges may occur," said Street. This would allow for extra space in the residence halls, which have a combined total of 10 full and two partial floors in Cone and Cannon residence halls. "The greeks will be living in residence halls for awhile, excluding the officers, and there may be expansion as time per­ mits," said Dr. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor of business affairs. 7&w system would allow telephone registration SLJZILANDIS jpal achian Staff Writer F r five years Appalachian State Unio rsi I> has been researching a voice remse system which could be implemt&d by fall 1993.

"The "cy will be raised within two years, I the purchase will be made in the rtrraerof 1993." The voice response system is one of * top priorities of the administration. s s trudent degree audit is the other prity- r"he: system will cost in excess of «00 to install, according to i xis. "Yearly maintenance is not ex^*"Ve," added Rankins. "It's less than •°O0 a year, which is reasonable." The voice response uses a touch tone and student identification access code much like a telephone calling card. The student can make inquiries about student records such as semester grades by talk­ ing to a computer on the telephone. The system, as the name implies, is voiceactivated. The main focus for the system will be to enhanceregistration. Both UNC-Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University use telephone registration. "I think it would be just as inconve­ nient as now," said ASU student John Schriner. "I've talked to people at other schools, and their biggest complaint is that the line is always busy. It's such a pain when you mess up and try to go back to correct it." Rankins stressed that the university is not taking any option away from the stu­ dents. "We will still have the registration center, just not as many days," said Rankins. He said he feels this will relieve the inconvenience of standing in line that most students experience. Though the system installation is in the planning stages, Rankins believes the designated registration time slots will still be used. "State and Chapel Hill's main problem is that they open up the lines to everyone," said Rankin. By AMANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Student Government Association tabled all new business, with the excep­ tion of its proposed laundry bill,and heard committee reports in its 20-minuteMarch 31 meeting. The laundry bill, which is sponsored by Gardner Senator Brad Moorefield, was sent back to the student affairs com­ mittee for additional research. The bill calls for changes in the existing on-cam­ pus laundry services, which have tradi­ tionally lost money due to machine tam­ pering.

The "other" category in­ r^*' cludes people with different ethnic back­ grounds, but does not include women. According to Zaphon Wilson, special assistant to the vice chancellor for aca­ demic affairs for minority concerns, and ASU assistant professor of political sci­ ence, thenumbers of minority faculty and staff are low due to three things. "First, I think the numbers are so low because we have failed to actively pursue minority candidates," said Wilson. "As a university we have failed to do that." The second reason Appalachian has a low nercentaee of minority faculty fmH See GREEKS page 2 SGA tables business Register by phone r The proposal was designed last year by Julie Rhodes, 1990-91 Panhellenic presi­ dent and Maury Kennedy, 1990-91 Inter fraternity Council president. Along with Rhodes and Kennedy, Jen­ nifer Wyattand John Akers, currentpresident of the Panhellenic and IFC, will present this proposal to the Board of Trust­ ees in May. According to the present proposal, the university will have certain commitments toward the development of greek hous­ ing. Some of these responsibilities are: •Working inconjunction with thechapter housing corporations, the university staff is because ASU may be one of the best kept secrets in the area, according to Wilson. "There is a general misconception about Appalachian that we are trying to clear up. When people hear Appalachian, they think of poverty, not the comprehensive university that we are," said Wilson. According to Wilson, the last reason Appalachian has so few minority faculty and staff is because the small number of black and minority professors make the competition very stiff. "This (minority recruitment) has to be one of the main priorities as we move toward the 21st century," said Wilson. "Our student body is going to change right before our eyes. It is going to be­ come more female and it is going to become blacker and browner, and as a university we need to reflect those changes." It is important for students to have minority professors because all students need to be able to point to minorities as role models, Wilson said. The bill proposed giving students the option to place a minimum of $25 on a laundry account to use in the machines, which would have card readers. Another option would give students the chance to purchase credit to be used for laundry on their Appalachian Express accounts. The cost of the wash and dry loads would decrease from $.75 to $.50. The off-campus committee reported that work is being done to consider park­ ing issues, including plans for additional 20-minute parking spaces in front of the post office. Dawn Barker, academic affairs com­ mittee chairman, said teacher apprecia­ tion awards were well received and that she had received positive feedback from teachers.

Overbooking residence hall spacesmay be Appalachian State University's solu­ tion for next fall, said Brad Reid, director of residence life. One hundred and one students guaranteed housing would be housed temporarily until spaces became available, Reid said. With 418 ASU students currently on a waiting list for residence hall spaces, overbooking could guarantee students spaces which are not now available, said Reid. Residence life would work to find tem­ porary off-campus options to house those students until spaces in the halls became available, Reid said. At this point, the housing locationhas yet to be determined, according to Reid. Spaces in the halls often come avail­ able when "no-shows" are declared. How­ ever, other housing options are needed until the no-shows can be declared and the student can be assigned a room, Reid said. "We need to guarantee housing to people now, and not keep them on the waiting listfor toolong," Reid said. "From our perspective, the longer they areon the waiting list, the most apt they are to look elsewhere." Students would not sleep in residence hall lobbies for more than two nights if there was not enough available space, Reid said. Fifty overflow spaces in Frank Residence Hall and Belk Residence Hall could be used if necessary. Reid added he would not expect stu­ dents to stay in a room which did not have the accommodations of the other rooms, such as a telephone and cable hookup. Due to a policy which requires all freshmen, with few exceptions, to liveon campus their first year, residence life must guarantee about 1,900 of its total 4,414 available spaces to freshmen. Residence Life, which has received 2,947 housing applications from current residents, combined with 130 housing requests from transfer students, has a total of 3,077 requests from on-campus and transfer students. After students with two semesters or less are guaranteed housing, there will be 2,514 spaces left. Housing priority will then be given by random selection to students with three or more semesters of coursework. �. r/ie Appalachian. Thursday.

If you enjoy a j^^sic, college-oriented guitar, bass and ^^^srcussion sound. The Outer Limits is the for you. The show starts at 9:00 p.m. but if past ^^Jter Limits concerts are any indica plan to stay dancing late into the ^^j^ht hours. This will be a homecoming of sorts for Outer Limits. The band formed in PJ.<^-one and is one of the most successful to come out of Appalachian. The Outer Limits consists of Will j^f^rley on guitar and lead vocals, Greg pofe on bass "id vocals, and Rob tj^friladensky on percussion and vocals, band formed in 1987 and since that the band has attracted a strong, loyal following that seems to grow and grow mritJi each performance. -•Our music appeals to the college ?ro -wd, and our style attracts a wide, varied following," said Schladensky. The band has not performed in Boone his year, but played throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. [Tic Outer Limits has played with The antics, Melissa Ethridge, Dreams So Compact disc debut in Boone Real, Royal Crescent Mob, Hedge V and Naked Prey. The Outer Limits stands out from the typical college bands becauseof itsstrong base of original music. Pure Outer Limits is pure original music, music that is dis­ tinctive and danceable. The Outer Limits has a sound that tran­ scends the traditional classifications of today s music. The terms progressive, alternative and even pop rock describe aspects of the band's sound but do not convey the essence of the music. The Outer Limits write and play music with deep roots in college life and human nature. The band breaks the barrier of category with a personal tone that any college audience can relate to. Don t get the wrong impression. The sound is not slow, solemn or sad. On the contrary, the band's tempo and rhythm combine to create music you can dance to. The Outer Limits will play Saturday night at the Pub. The show is a Compact Disc release party. Tickets are $2 for students and $3 for guests. The show is an A.P.P.S. Club Shows presentation and co-sponsored by Appalachian's Advertising Club, ACE (Appalachian Communication Enter­ prises). The band MadcapLaughs will open for The Outer Limits. By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor CD. The band will kick off the release of the CD in The Pub this Saturday. Schladensky said, "Our music appeals to the college crowd. We used to recog­ nize everyone in our audience, but now we are beginning to see a whole new crowd. Those new faces make it interest­ ing. "A band matures after two or three years. We have developed a variety of styles. Will and Greg write music that is very different from one another. That difference gives a crisp sound to our mu­ sic. We often borrow ideas that worked from old songs we don't play any more. When it all comes together, it will sound like The Outer Limits." The Outer Limits has its first compact disc. "The Outer Limits" is a mix of new tracks and Outer Limits standards. The band recorded a cassette during 1988 and 1989 in Chapel Hill that fea­ tured 10 tracks. The new CD features 11 songs includ­ ing seven from the cassette. The CD is on the Missing Records label in Raleigh. New tracks on the record include "I Think,""A Really Cool Sunshine,""Let's Not Talk It Over," and "A Formal Request."The new tracks still maintain The Outer Limits sound but show a more mature band. Additional cuts on the CD include Once in Your Life," "Things Never Change," "Stars (in your eyes)," "There's No One," "You Can Run," "Is The Distance Far?" and "The Young Breed." You can find the CD inBoone at Tracks and Grapevine music. The CD can also be purchased at The Record Exchange, Repo Records, New World Records, Milestone Records and CD Superstore. The band has achieved one of its most ambitious goals with the release of tins goais wiui me ot this Photo oy l-orreal MacCormack EXPERIENCE THE OUTER LIMITS: The Outer Limits will rock The Pub Saturday night starting at 9 p.m. The show will kick off the release of the band's new CD "The Outer Limits." Tickets are $2 for students and $3 for guests. "Our lyrics reflect who we are and life in general. A lot of our songs relate things we learned in college,'" Schladensky said. "The lyrics can be about anything from political ideas to relationships to ties we have with other people." Schaldensky said, "People associate us with the mountains because we formed there. Even though three members are from different cities, we will always keep our Boone ties;the mountains will always be a part of us." The format of one lead guitar, one bass and percussion gives the band a unique DacK-to-basics back-to-basics sound. Misbehavin'" recreate the style of Waller's on-stage clowning, particularly "Your Feet's Too Big." The cast of the show will dance and flirt from table to table in the "Lowdown" Harlem night­ club, and bop, jive and slither through over 25 classic songs. Waller's career was not limited to the cabaret style of performing; "Fats" ap­ peared inseveral motion pictures. "Stormy Weather" was just one of the films that featured the great jazz pianist and songwriter. He brought jazz to New York's nightclub and party scenes. He also managed to gain a little fame and fortune as a composer and performer in the pro­ cess. His success in vaudeville, radio and movies was matched only by Louis Armstrong and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. So we have Thomas "Fats" Waller to thank for making theproduction of "Ain't Misbehavin"' possible. It is because of "Fats" that we can look back at yesterday (1930s), smile and tap our toes, and face tomorrow with a song. The joint will be jumping when you see "Ain't Misbehavin"' jazzmen, Thomas "Fats" Waller. The show will begin at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium and is part of Appalachian StateUniversity'sMajor Performing Arts Series. Just imagineyourself in a dark, smoky nightclub located in the heart of Harlem. The place is throbbing with goodtimers and the pulse of jazz tunes. "Honeysuckle Rose," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love," and "T'Ain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do" are only a number of the songs you hear asyou 're caught upin theexcite­ 3y IDRRIEGANTT X.psp»alachian Staff Writer *"The Joint is Jumpin', theJoint is Jumpproclaim the singers in "Ain't •Aisfcehavin'," the jazz strut revue which von. the coveted Tony Award for Best ®ical of the broadway season.

The singers are wailing, the piano is working up a sweat, and the night becomes a blur of laughter and song and troubles forgotten. Does it sound enticing? "Ain't Misbehavin'" takes the audience to that Harlem nightclub and underscores the obstacles encountered by "Fats" Waller in his career as a jazz musician. The New York Times said the show is "... a funny, startling, heart-stopping hit."The pace is fast, and the entertainment is exceptional. Throughout his career, "Fats" Waller wrote500 songs. He was an accomplished pianist and organist, beginning his pro­ fessional career when he was 15 years old. His first big hit was "Squeeze Me" and he continued to create memorable jazz hits until his death in 1943. Waller isoften remembered as a clown. Although his talents and abilities as a musician were far more than adequate, he incorporated an element of comedy in his performances in order to attract more attention.

Appalachian should cle^*iowledge the fact that too few minorities hold positions and seek active vo*iues to see that more minorities are hired. ^®norities need to be in faculty and staff positions at Appalachian. Their res«nce in such positions could help alleviate the ever-present problem of icism. Racism exists at ASU, just as it exists worldwide; however, an mj»hasis on minority recruitment could combat some of the problems of Election years are scary. After three years of the most disastrous presidential bungling since the Reconstruc­ tion, George Bush is favoredas the Republican candidate for nomination, while Pat Buchanan. ex-Nixon stooge and celebrated con-artist, slimes his way across the U.S. leaving a trail of confused and unpaid campaign aides. Bill Clinton is the favored Democrat—blundering along like acrazed halfback blind from steroids and speed, with Jerry Brown snapping at his heels like a mad dog. The other Democratic hopefuls dropped out long ago, unable to cope with the savagery of political campaigning in the 90s, and the two left have done away with all hope of using intellect to combat the more effective tactics of the malodorous rumor. Even the bookies have panic in their eyes, preferring taking bets on this year's Oscar win­ ners over even laying odds on the outcome of the '92 election. But somehow it is not difficult to look at this year's election without breaking out in a cold sweat and gibber­ ing. Like watching DiNiro rave on the screen playing a depraved homicidal redneck, there is the sense that it's not real, that it's not a threat. We'veseen DiNiro play too many roles too well to believe that this might be what he actually is on the screen before us.

The woman was actually quite helpful, suggesting I wait for someone to come along who would give me a nickel for five pennies, and then I could use my change to purchase a ticket. The nickel, she said, would gladly be accepted. By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer "I'm soiTy, but I can't accept these," the woman in the ticket booth said. "My manager won't let me."

At the end I guess the penny is truly worthless now. A penny saved might be a penny earned, but who wants one? You certainly can' t spend it; you have toget five of them to trade for a nickel before they can be used to buy something. I wonder if there is a specific reason why the penny is a different color than every other coin. It is made primarily of zinc, which is the same color as our other familiar nickel coins. An outer shell of copper is later added, thereby' making it the familiar brownish color. Maybe the treasury is trying to tell us something: when other things turn brown, we throw them away. Maybe this explains why you can always find extra pennies in parking lots. People just throw them away. Now that I know I can't spend them any more, I'm not even going to bother picking them up. See a penny, pick it up—all the day you'll have good luck. Just don't try to use it. Editor's note:Winkier is a junior broad­ casting major from Granite Falls. Leg­ ends does accept pennies in rolls.

Respond to issues To the Editor On campus, there is an issue that I would consider of great importance. That issue is the petition to release the files on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It is the idea of Appalachian State University's Political Science Club, and I applaud their efforts to undertake such a task of obvious controversy. I was in the student union and in the cafeteria when the club had petition tables set up to try and get students to sign for the release of the files. What I saw was quite disturbing. More than half of the people that were asked to look at the petition said they did not have time, as they stood idly by and conversed with their friends, or did not even want to know what the petition was about. The two Political Science Club officers that were present, Richard S. Blackwelder, president and Dan Masters, vice president, said the greatest problem that they saw facing the concerns of the nation was social ' and political apathy, and it shows. If the people had just taken the time, as I did, to find out what the main premise behind this petition truly is, they would have known it was for getting the voice of the public back into our government, and if the petition happens to be effective in opening the files, then so much the better. The basis of this Republic is the active participa­ tion of its citizens, and that participa­ tion has been inactive now for too long. I have spent some time on most of the major campuses in the state, and I have concluded that ASU has one of the most outspoken student bodies anywhere, but that is all they are. Blackwelder and Masters claim that social and political apathy is a growing concern of the state, and I agree, but I will take the point one step farther and closer to home. Social and political hypocrisy is an annoyance that seems to be breeding too rapidly on this campus. It is a known fact that it is far easier to voice opinions on concerns rather than participate in doing something about them. For all the active hyp^rites on this "active" campus I ask a favor of you all: if you must stand on the sidelines, please stand quietly. Nathaniel Voyce P.O. Box 18361 �The Annalachian Thur^qy.

Two people JtWn.hpHmnm onortmmit nonor , ally pay between $165 to $300 in rent each month, said Holton. Aside from paying rent each month, off-campus students must also pay for utilities, whichinclude cable, water, power and telephone. Off-campus students must pay for cable, if they want television, which is approxi­ mately $20 a month for basic cable ser­ vices. On-campus students receive basic cable from the university at a cost of $6.50 per semester. The cost is included in the housing fee. The average water bill for off-campus students is between $15 and $30 per month, according to Holton. She said the very basic charge is $10, whether any water is used or not. For most two-bedroom apartments, a normal electric bill is between $50 and $70. A year-round average for an apart­ ment in Boone that does not have air conditioning is $50. Basic telephone service with no long distance service is $20 per month.

Cable costs up 21 percent By SARAH YATES Appalachian Staff Writer Apptltchlmn Photo by Dobbia Mc Mutton 'OUR RATES GOING UP? Cable rates have increased steadily for both on and off-campus students. Students indirectly their cable attachment, with the current $6.50 fee being assesed to their housing fees. Off-campus students have the option However, the cost for the off-campus student is $19.25. The cost of cable television to Boone residents has increased 21 percent since 1988, according to Melissa Tatum, marketing manager of High Country Cable. Cable costs for on-campus housing at Appalachian State University have in­ creased 50 percent since 1984, according to Doug Canipe, director of residential facilities at ASU. Appalachian State University has a 10year contract with High Country Cable to provide on-campus students with cable. In 1993, the contract will be subject to a renewal. Currently, the school is paying $8.92 per residence hall room per month. How­ ever, beginning June 30,1992, there will be an increase of 5 percent to $9.37 per dorm room. Appalachian State University is one of the first universities to offer cable for on-campus housing, according to Canipe. However, on-campus students pay $6.50 per semester for cable in their hous­ ing fee. The cost will go up to $6.85 in the fall of 1992. "The increase we receive is based on programming charges. Under the present contract, programming costs isan accept­ able cost that they can pass on to us,"said Canipe. Programming costs are those costs used to carry satellite channels, such as CNN, TBS, TNT and ESPN. The cable company has to pay the pro­ grammer for the satellite channels. Cus­ tomers are charged based on the cable company's programming costs. There­ fore, if programming costs go up, cus­ tomers are charged more for the increase. "We are paying for better program­ ming with the satellite channels," said Tatum. "You couldn't have had CNN 10 years ago covering the Gulf War. They (the satellite channels) have a lot of man power." The cost of having cable isdifferent for every town. The charges made to custom­ ers depends on the cable company. High Country Cable of Boone charges $19.25 per month for each household. The basic service charge is $18.96, but a 3 percent franchise fee is paid to the town or county that the customer lives in. "The reason why it is going up is because of the basic cost of living and programming costs," said Tatum. "We are not a utility, but people think of us that way. We are not subsidized by the gov­ ernment." The basic cost of living that the cable company pays for is tools, gas for the cable trucks, office supplies and anyother charges for maintaining the cable. Also, oil is used to make cable. There­ fore, there is always going to be an in­ crease in cable costs to customers when oil prices are increasing. Most students have been very pleased with cable, according to Canipe. "Cable television as a whole is one of the most popular services that we provide," said Canipe. Some students agree that cable is a valuable service for on-campus students. "It's nice that on-campus students don't have to pay directly for cable, unlike other universities," said David Coltrane. ''acuity/staff contribute $22 million to university campaign ^ -acy williard *Ajit News Editor 1 "st $12 million has been commitUniversity since July 1,1989, as ^ of the Campaign for Appalachian, ^-raising drive, according to Tom campaign director for alumni ^ttient. forking objective of the funddrive is to have $22 million com*o the university by June 30,1995, ^j^drive will be complete. "The objectives of the drive deal spe­ cifically with areas such as faculty devel­ opment, student scholars, university en­ dowments, the arts, the music program, visual arts and annual support for col­ leges, schools, athletics and other univer­ sity programs," said Lawson. In capital campaigning, there are two phases to fund-raising, the quiet phase and the public phase. According to Lawson, the largest gifts are sought dur­ ing the quiet phase. When 50 percent of the goal is reached, then a public an­ nouncement continues the fund-raising drive with a big event on campus. The next step,following the announcement, is to have a three-year public campaign. The faculty/staff campaign is part of the Campaign for Appalachian. The fac­ ulty/staff campaign is a solicitation of all full and part-time faculty and staff at Appalachian to give money to the fundraising drive. This phase is one of the final parts of the quiet phase of the campaign and will be completed by the end of the semester. "The significant thing (about the fac­ ulty/staff campaign) is that these people work at ASU and get paid for it. There is no expectation that they need to give any money back to the university," said Lawson. "They are investing in the stu­ dents to make this a better university." The beginning of the faculty/staff cam­ paign was marked by akick-off luncheon in the east wing of the cafeteria. At the luncheon, Chancellor JohnTho­ mas spoke, along with the four co-chair­ persons of the drive: David Wood, assis­ tant professor of finance, insurance and real estate; Elizabeth Bond, assistant pro­ fessor of history; Bob ElleTbe, director of transportation motor pool; and Carolyn Heavner, administrative assistant to the chancellor. Stephanie Lineberry, presi­ dent oftheclassofl992, also spoke at the luncheon. Lawson said ASU plans to publicly announce the campaign this fall. "Even though the economy has been a little off, we feel we're ahead of schedule. Appalachian has around 56,000 alumni, and 70 percent of these alumni graduated since 1970. The average alumnus is about 40 years old, so we don't have an older, affluent alumni base," said Lawson. "Since ASU wasa teaching college, we are not quite as well positioned to raise larger corporate gifts as universities with long established business programs or law schools," Lawson said. People who make contributions have the ability to restrict where their money goes. For example, those interested in scholarship, can restrict donations to a certain department,according toLawson. "The idea is to raise money based on people's interests," said Lawson. General or unspecified contributions are also ac­ cepted. �/ Food Lion CEO speaks April 23: Tom E.

Spring Break 1992 was perhaps kinder and gentler than in years past, with some promoters asking for donations for AIDS research and almost everyone telling stu­ dents to "Party Smart." As always, not everyone heard the message, butthe number of serious Spring Break incidents was down from years past, when the month-long party conjured images of drunken students leaping off motel balconies and consuming large quantities of drugs. The most serious incidents of Spring Break 1992 included: •The shooting death of an Old Domin­ ion University sophomore in Miami. The student, 19-year-old Paul Sauder, was killed in a car when a teen-ager opened fire on Sauder and four classmates who had stopped to buy crack cocaine in one of the city's drug-infested neighborhoods. Police arrested a 19-year-old Miami man for the shooting, but said they have no idea why he started shooting at the students. •The death of a 20-year-old Ontario man who choked on his own vomit in a Daytona parking garage. Police said the death was related to alcohol consumption but did not know the man's blood alcohol level. Police said the man was not a stu­ dent, but had traveled to Florida to party with friends during the break. •In Galveston,Texas, two people were injured by gunshots fired on beaches crowded with students. One man pulled a gun on an officer and was shot todeath by police. The man killed was not a student. Police said they believed the disturbances were caused by non-students and are still investigating. •Two University of Miami students died and three others were injured when their jeep overturned in Cancun, Mexico. Sophomores Melissa Fernandez, 19, a biology student from Miami Beach, and Adam Leinfuss, 20, a communications majorffomManhassett,N.Y., werekilled March 8 when the driver lost control of the rented jeep about 100 miles west of Cancun. Despite a few incidents, police said most students were well-behaved this year. At Daytona, one beach patrol officer said the main problem "is just drunken­ ness." "They've been really good this year. They listen to us when they're told to do something. We haven't had any major problems," said the officer, who asked not to be identified. Most students agree. "It seems like it's much calmer this year," said Liz Burns, a student from Texas A&M University who, with friend Lisa Dodson, was working on a tan and also attending a Christian conference. "We're here with our Campus Crusade for Christ," she said. "We're talking to students about that, and we've had a good time so far. People have been pretty re­ ceptive." Although most did not travel to the sunny South to find God, some did report having near-religious experiences while bungee-jumping off a 200-foot platform. "I'm still shaking," said Rod Chavez after the experience. The University of Arizonastudentexplained whyhe jumped: "It just looked like fun. I got nervous once I was up there and I hesitated for a second, but then I just thought, 'Nah, I'd better go Other adventure-seeking students took advantageofaflightsimulatorlocatedoff the boardwalk,along with parasailing and orbotrons, the circular contraptions in which people stand, then twist, flip and spin in various directions. . The adventure promoters weren t alone in trying to capture the students attentionMore than 200 companies visited Daytona this year to give free samples to college students and promote their products to the younger market. "We have so much free stuff, so many cups, we won't be able to get back to Kentucky," said Jay Stilz, a University of Kentucky student Stilz didn't seem to mind, though. A booth sponsored by Geo offered free head-and-neck massages to students who test-drove Prisms. Introspect, a clothing line, constructed a mountain on the beach for students to play on. And Lagerfield, makers of men's cologne, had attractive young women tossing free cologne samples to men as they walked along the boardwalk. Dodge, although it had several cars on display along the boardwalk and in front ofhotels,gaveits"Rockin' Campus Bash" campaign a more responsible spin. Dodge gave out free squeeze bottles and hats to students who drove in its Drunk Driving Simulator. "What we're trying to show students is the danger of drunk driving," said Jerry Barhart, a program instructor for the simu­ lator. "What we do w through (a path lined once, then have our computer s with a .10 blood al "The computer de\^ ing, like your r ayS.slee eactions »j^j drunk." ^ ..

Clinton wants to establish <*• e fund from which any American can ^ money for a college education— ^^ram he labels a domestic GI Bill. ^ fund the additional aid, Clinton ses reallocating the budget and more money to education. Today only 9 percent of the budget is directed to investing in our future—edu­ cation and training, child health, environ­ mental technologies, research and infra­ structure. We need to double that share and pay for it by converting resources no longer needed for defense," Clinton said m a United States Student Association survey. As governor, Clinton increased fundmg for higher education institutions in Arkansas by 77.7 percent since 1983. He established a college bond program in 1991 to help parents finance their children's higher education. Under the plan, parents and others can buy short or long-term tax-exempt "college bonds." Since Clinton took office, the percent of Arkansas' graduating high school students who attend in-state universities has risen from 38.2 percent to 513 per­ cent. The Arkansas Challenge Scholarship Program, implemented last year, allows any student who meets middle and lowermiddle income guidelines to have part of their tuition paid by the state at any col­ lege or university in the state. The student, in return, must maintain a "C" average, stay off drugs and score a 19 or above on the ACT test. Clinton said in a Chronicle of Higher Education survey that he wants to sim­ plify the student-aid program "by elimi­ nating banks from the process and mak­ ing direct loans to students through their colleges and trade schools." According to the Chronicle survey, he also said he advocated affirmative action so that "every young American will have access to a college education, no matter what their background." Clinton said he agreed with resolutions pending in both the House and Senate that would ask President Bush to rescind De­ partment of Defense policy prohibiting lesbians, gays and bisexuals from mili­ tary service. Because many college stu­ dents look to the military to help pay for college, the issue has come to the fore­ front Clinton said he supports more accurate national testing standards "that will help us measure the achievements of our stu­ dents and tell us in what areas we need to make greater efforts," according to the Chronicle's questionnaire. "However, no student in good standing , should be denied access to college, and grades should not be the basis for provid­ ing student aid. As President, I will intro­ duce legislation to provide universal ac­ cess to college for anyone who desires a college education," he said. ;TD slide show is ugly, but effective in conveying message . -grsy-As the war against ADDS and —' sexually transmitted diseases con** on college campuses, one school an unusual approach that has --.sedmale abstinenceon campus and ^^ted more women to insist that their use condoms. ** jjie fall of 1990, the University of Carolina added a special sex edulecture to its University 101 class, designed for freshman orienta­ tion, in which students learn about sexu­ ally transmitted diseases—with the aid of graphic slides of people infected with various STDs.

After the group presentation, twohealth educators from the student health center talk to small groups about sexual activity, condom use and abstinence and answer student questions. "We previously had sponsored meet­ ings and noon-time talks, but no one showed up," Turner said. "What we wanted to do was inform students specifi­ cally about sexually transmitted diseases because we've found that most are fairly ignorant about them. They know about HIV, but they don't know about STDs." He adds,"I think that's kind of aunique strategy, even though the final outcome will be the same. If you prrevent sexually transmitted diseases, you will prevent AIDS." About 55 piercent of the incoming fresh­ men take University 101, andTumersaid that a recent survey showed that the course had a positive effect on student behavior. Male students taking the class reported a 25 piercent abstinence rate at the start of the semester, but reported a 41 piercent abstinence rate after completing Univer­ sity 101. Women students abstained at the same rate before and after the class—33 per­ cent—but the piercentage who repiorted using condoms increased from 20 piercent to 30 piercent. As for male condom use, it remained at 25 piercent both before and after taking University 101. "There's a flip-flop,"Turner said of the findings. "There's something about our message that makes women feel more empx>wered...and the results with the men surprised us." r* and t h e palm trees!!

March 31.1992 Ad. Club faces challenge By TIFFANY WHITLEY Appalachian Staff Writer IV CAMPAIGN FOR CLUB: The advertising club is competing in a national advertising contesfin April. The organization t>e^n working toward this project since last August. Some believe this project to be the best ever presented by the club. The advertising club at Appalachian State University will compete in the NSAC, a national scholastic advertising competition on April 2-3. The district competition will be held in the Rocky Mountains. If ASU's advertis­ ing club wins on the district level, it will then compete in the national competition held in Portland, Ore. The club will com­ pete against other schools in the region, such as the University of South Carolina, UNC Chapel Hill and N.C. State. The NSAC competition is sponsored by VISA charge card and the AAF (American Ad­ vertising Federation). Appalachian's advertising club has been preparing for the NSAC since Au­ gust 1991. PSE (the marketing fraternity involved with the campaign) helps the advertising club with the marketing re­ search. Rick Roberts, the NSAC chairman, said, "A lot more goes on in an advertising campaign than people realize. There is market research, planning media sched­ ules, handing out surveys, and coming up with creative, innovative advertisements that meet the client's needs." The competition consists of twostages, the plansbook stage and the presentation stage. The presentation will be given by nine team members chosen from the ad­ chian advertising club, and I feel confi­ vertising club. dent that we will not only win in the The presentation team members are district competition but will achieve suc­ Terri Davis, Tracy Kindley, Tim Sheets, cess on the national level as well."

Education Career Day gives ASU students learning opportunity dARU MASSE Y alsachian Staff Writer pfxalachian State University student lers will have an opportunity to meet ssentatives from public school sysi all over North Carolina and surstates. An Education Career Fair ttident teachers will be held on FriApril 10 at the Broyhill Inn. ucieiit Teachers will be able to give to public school systems that as t them. School representatives will be present to answer questions andsupply information. ASU has always had successful fairs and expects this year's fair to be no differ­ ent. Dr. Linda Smith, associate director of the Career Development Center, said, "This is the largest Education Career Fair that we've had in terms of the education systems coming." Smith said that the fair was exclusively for Appalachian students. She said that this is a prime opportunity for student teachers to be in contact with so many school systems just by attending the fair. Student teachers see this fair as a tre­ mendous advantage for them. Beth Bezilla, a student teacher at Parkway El­ ementary, is from New Hampshire. Bezilla is looking forward to the education career fair because she needs help with becom­ ing aware of the school systems in North Carolina. Bezilla said, "The fair will give me a chance to become familiar with different North Carolina school systems." Public school systems, along with stu­ dent teachers, also see ASU's Education Career Fair as a great opportunity. The school systems largely benefit from the fairs because they find prospective teach­ ers for their schools. Margaret McLaurin, personnel super­ visor for Cumberland County Schools in North Carolina, has only positive things to say about ASU and its education de­ partment. "ASU has a reputation for having a successful education department. We're looking for the best and ASU definitely has the best. We've hired several students from ASU," said McLaurin. She looks forward to attending the education fair. McLaurin said thatshe likes theorganizational format that ASU uses, and she always enjoys working with ASU. Kristen Albrecht, a student teacher at Watauga High School, believes that ASU thoroughly preparesstudents for the teach­ ing profession. Albrecht said, "Somebody is always there for guidance through the wholeprocess."She said that ASU constantly strives to help its student teachers. The Educa­ tion Center Fair is just one example of the university's concern. • Students exhibit art ESSICA SCHRIDER ri achian Staff Writer fortunate that Appalachian State e*"sdty, considering its fairly small er of Arts degree program, can man° jaroduce not one, but two artists sv|ch noticeable talent. The two art^l^ose works are being shown at the «ric Smith Gallery through gradule&is exhibitions, Mary Jane Phifer Czamecki, are both brilliant art^vat in very different respects. #rV Jane Phifer's exhibition, entitled 11 for the Unknown," consists of °•"^binations of serigraphs, lithols> oil paintings and colored porce^•^es. The vast majority of these s ^*ave some sort of fish imagery in ^A»Hien asked about her fondness for replied, "Fish imagery is very ^ to me though I cannot explain 11 too deeply rooted in my psyche, it is all linked to my affinity for to nature, to salt water and to «:hhas obviously carriedover into ls . ^r s oil paintings are painted in ^ ibrant colors. She does not stick ^enre of painting; the only true ^ S theme throughout her oils is that e 0" ®~J r works range from the surrealjj. fairly realistic. I s colored porcelain pieces are >^ent. For example, she created a «zed porcelain bowl with an intri^*rn on the outside that depicts the contents of a goldfish bowl, complete with water, gravel, fish and plants. Even though this artist's mind might be flying through the clouds with her fish, her feet are clearly on the ground when it comes todemonstrating her abilities as an artist. Czarnecki's exhibition, entitled "Jour­ ney to Focus," is a compilation of 26 welded steel constructions. The artist ex­ plains the unifying link through this cre­ ative and powerful exhibit as "a personal journey of sorts, with each piece being the end of one step and the beginning of another." One of the most interesting and amaz­ ing things about Czarnecki's work is the clarity of the figure or idea that he is portraying through these quite abstract works. For example, one of his works, called "Girl Skipping Rope," strikes one as very abstract at first glance. However, as soon as the observer looks at it a second time, the figure of a girl skipping rope is apparent in its beauty and clarity. Czamecki has a wonderful talent for sculpting with steel that is obvious in his exhibit. His works all have a linear feel­ ing that gives this tough metal a delicate look. Upon looking at some of his works, one will wonder what magic he uses that allows him to simply transform a basic quality of steel. The Catherine Smith Gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. every weekday. The Graduate Student Exhibi­ tion will be held from March 27 to April 10.

Project came about when the uni^^^^spondcd to arelease by the United States Information Agency designed to promote the sharing of ideas with foreign countries. "We responded because we feel that we have relevant information to offer. The genera] idea is to promote under­ standing and friendship between the U.S. and foreign countries," said Williams. Zakopane is located in a scenic moun­ tain area much like that surrounding Boone. The town is in the Carpathian Mountain Range, which is similar to the Appalachian region. People from other parts of eastern Europe travel to the area for vacations. John Batchelor, representative from Alamance County Schools, believes that ASU has one of the top Education Career Fairs. Batchelor said that his school sys­ tem goes to numerous fairs but said, "If we had to pick only two or three fairs togo to, ASUwouldbeoneofthem."Batchelor said that ASU has a very good track record and that he always gets excellent results from ASU. McLaurin advises student teachers attending the fair to bring a r6sum6 and make as many contacts as possi­ ble. Zakopane offers activities such as ski­ ing, hiking and climbing. The Pracownia Regionalna (the regional studies center) of the Krakow Polytechnic Institute is located in Zakopane and will be the host of the conference. The purpose of the program is to share knowledge that would allow theZakopane community to bring in tourist dollars with­ out spoiling the environment. Because of the recent change in eastern Europe from a communist government to a democratic society, Zakopane is now apart of the free market system, and town leaders must face the task of bringing business to the town while still protecting the environ­ ment. The community leaders want to draw visitors from other places without turning the town into a over-crowded tourist trap. "Our purpose is to help the people reconcile the need foren v ironmental preservation with their new democratic soci­ ety in which everyone has a voice on how to expand," said Williams. The group that will be directing the conferences will consist of ASU faculty and Boone community members, all with their own areas of expertise. The three university faculty members who will be attending the conference are Williams, as a historian. Dr. Dennis Scanlin, from the technology department, and Dr. Larry Keeler, from the sociology department. Experts will present information based on their own experiences. The second conference will consistof demonstrations of solving a specific environmental prob­ lem facing Zakopane. "The people are tired of having the government tell them what to do," said Williams. 'They want to make their own decisions on how to balance the develop­ ment of business with preservation of the environment." Over Spring Break, 11 Appalachian students took part in the learning experi­ ence of a lifetime. Through a three hour course in the Watauga program, these lucky few ventured to Charleston, S.C. for a week-long creative writing work­ shop led by the science fiction novelist Orson Scott Card. Card is the author of the recent bookstore hit "Xenophobia." Students returned from the experience with a wonderfully positiveattitude about writing. The main objectives of the course were to condition students to find stories in everything, improveindividual writing skills, and recognize the importance of accuracy and believability. The work began a few weeks before Spring Break. Card met with the group and gave instructions for the first 10-30 page story. Much of the educational expe­ rience throughout the week came from daily critiquing of the stories. In critiquing sessions participants sat in a circle and offered constructive criti­ cism on each other's work. During this time the author was not allowed to add input Participant Harvey Robinson felt that this critiquing process was one of the most beneficial activities of the work­ shop. It taught him to offeT hiscriticism in a positive light. The group critiques also helped them learn from each other's mis­ takes. The students left Saturday, March 7. The trip to Charleston was spent reading the first stories. Once in the town, the group spent two days mulling around, learning Charleston's ins and outs and interviewing people for potential charac­ ters. Each person was required to create seven index-card-length stories from the day's experiences. Among the participants, reactions to the workshop were consistent. Every per­ son seemed to have a remarkable time that resulted in an unexplainable and wonderful experience. Robinsonreturned See AUTHOR page £ �/ The Appalachian Tuesday.

I'm going to write now!"This was a common emotion. Carl Funderburk also came away from the week with a desire to write, "It gave my life focus." Greg Beavers added,"Orson Scott Card is a wonderful human being—a few steps down from God." This affection for the author wasshared by all. The participants felt that the expe­ rience of working with a professional writer was far better than with the normal classroom professor. Beavers commented that because of Card's success the stu­ dents trusted his advice and ability more than that of a professor. He also stated that compliments and encouragement from Card held more validity because of his accomplishments. Funderburk agreed that Card's knowledge and experience made his guidance more viable. Jay Wentworth, the program's coordi­ nator and faculty advisor, spent the week as a student. He joined the, group in cri­ tiquing sessions and submitted stories of his own. He, too, said Card's experience offered the students a different angle that gasgjcif • was not obtainable from unaccomplished writers. This was Appalachian's fourth year working with Card. Charlie Finks took part in last year's event and returned from the experience with the same enthusiasm that bumsin this year's participants. Look­ ing back on the experience, he said the workshop gave him more confidence in his writing as well as his life. He states that he now realizes that the most impor­ tant concept he learned was the impor­ tance of accuracy in a story. "People think that if they write a sci­ ence Fiction story they can create a world any way they want," said Finks. "But, what you have to remember is that it all has to be believable. If a person reads it and thinks, 'That'snotpossible,' thenit's not as good." Jay Wentworth is quick to agree with this, and said that an understanding of the concept is one of the goals of the work­ shop.

ASU has now lost nine games in a row and 13 of its last 15 contests. The Catamounts improved to 21-12-1 and 10-1 in the SC with the three wins. On Saturday, Western took both games of a doubleheader by scores of 4-1 and 10-6.The Cata­ mounts then came back on Sunday to complete the three-game sweep with an 8-2 win. In the first game Saturday, Western Carolina jumpied ahead 2-0 in the topof the first inning. ASU starter Danny Wills gave up a solo homerun to Scott Lyman with one out. With two outs and runners on first and third, Dwayne Bradley stole second base and Matt Raleigh scored on the throw to second. Western picked up single runs in the fourth and fifth innings to make the score 4-0 before ASU's Randy DeBruhl homered over the centerfield wall to provide the Mountaineers with their lone run of the day. ASU stranded 10 baserunners in the game,as the Mountaineers were never able to get the timely hits. Wills pitched the complete game for Appialachian, giving up eight hits and four earned runs in seven innings. Wills walked three and struck out two. Wills is now 1-3 on the season. Western's Phillip Grundy picked up the win, going all seven innings. Grundy gave up seven hits, walked three and struck out seven in moving his record to 4-3. In the second game of Saturday's doubleheader, the Catamount batscame alive, as Western roughed up two ASU pitchers for 10 runs and 11 hits in a 106 win. Chris Vullo took the loss for Appalachian State, dropping his record to 1-4. After falling behind 4-0, the Apps managed to climb back with three runs in the bottom of the third inning and one more in the fourth to tie the score. Jody Boyles started the rally with a single in the third. DeBruhl followed with another single, mov­ ing Boyles to second. Joel Sprouse then attempted to sacrifice Boyles and DeBruhl over, but Westem's Kimel threw the ball away, allowing Boyles and DeBruhl to score. Sprouse moved to third on the error and scored on Will Shellman's grounder to shortstop. One inning later, theMountaineers tied the score on Sean Pepin's one-out solo homerun to left field. The homer was Pepiin's second of the year. Western seized control of the game for good in the sixth. The Catamounts scored four runs with two outs, two runs coming on Lyman's double to centerfield. The Mountaineers got tworuns back in their half of the sixth, as DeBruhl singled in two runs with one out to make the score 8-6 after six innings. WCU cameright back to add two insurance runs in the top of the seventh to make the final score 106. Again, stranded baserunners doomed ASU, as the Appis left seven runners on base for the game. On Sunday, Western struck for four runs in the second inning, then scored three more in the third to take a 7-0 lead en route to the 8-2 win. ASU's Wayne Carter was roughed up for seven earned runs in 2.2 innings of work to take the loss for Apptltchimn Photo by Randall Reinink Appalachian. Carter is now 2-3on the season.

These days, college students are taking a walk on the wild side, trading their tennis rackets for bungee cords, their golf clubs for parachutes. And a new area of research shows that these young adventurers are not your run-of-the-mill sports enthusiasts, either. "It's called sensation-seeking," said Warren Hopkins, a psychology professor at the University of Richmond. "It's the inclination of some people to seek out thrills and adventures to avoid boredom. ... It's a personality traiL Some people can sit and sit and sit. Some people can't." The most popular of the adventure sports is also the newest—bungee jumping. What began as an age-old ritual practiced by natives of Pentecost Island in the South Pacific has emerged as the ultimate thrill sport of the 1990s. "In a split second, I felt mortal terror and, I thought, "I'm going to hit the ground and die,"' Modesto Junior College reporter Sheila Hehner wrote in a first-person story about her bungee experience off a bridge. "I looked into the face of death and lived to tell about it." That seems to be a popular sentiment. The first jumpers in the South Pacific jumped to show the courage to face death. Every spring, villagers col­ lected vines, wove them together and tied them around the ankles of young men who would climb high wooden towers and leap off. In addition to showing their courage, successful jumpers were said to bring a plentiful yam harvest. The focus of the sport changed and earned its modern-day roots in 1979, when members of Ox­ ford University's Dangerous Sports Club attached bungee cords to their ankles and jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in tuxedoes and top hats after reading about the native land jumpers. In 1987, John and Peter Kockelman of Palo Alto, Calif., helped spread the craze by jumping off bridges and river gorges in the Sierras. In 1988, they formed Bungee Adventures, one of the first legal bungee jumping locations in the country. A controversial sneaker advertisement in the 1990s that showed two men bungee jumping from a bridge—one of whom dangled safely from the cord in his Reeboks, the other who presumably tumbled to his death after slipping out of his alter­ native brand sneakers—brought the craze to na­ tional attention. "Right now, all of America is being introduced to the sport," said Jesse Webb, marketing director for Go Bungee Inc., a licensed bungee jumping site in Orlando, Fla. And although the appeal of the sport to most is the psychological thrill of facing death and surviv­ ing, those who work within the industry say that is a misconception. "If you're jumping at a licensed site, you're safe," Webb said. Go Bungee Inc. has taken pre­ cautions to make sure no accidents occur, he said, including the use of a "stunt pillow," basically a large airbag underneath the jumpier "just in case," the maintenance and replacement of bungee cords and use of multiple harnesses. "It's just as safe as walking around," said Rob Simpson, a Valencia Community College student waiting to jumpat thesite. His friend, also a student and first-time jumpier, agreed, and explained why he would soon hurl himself 150 feet off a crane. fortunately for Michigan Head Coach Fisher, there was no television nearby for t0 ''sten- Dute did not put the finishing **^s on a victory; rather, Michigan rallied to ^ e contest and send the game into overtime. & ^i'be the Wolverines didn't realize the *"4Te the hoops world had placed on their ^ *iers.

"I'm just always looking for a different rush.It's that feelingof being free, like abird,"Troy Goldman said. "I'm nervous watching these guys, but the butterflies make it better." Webb and others say the only real risk in the spxirt is assumed by those who jump illegally off bridges and gorges, mostly because they tend to use a "shock cord"—nylon climbing ropies bound and covered with nylon. Shock cords stop as far as they stretch, so they have more breaking potential and more potential to cause injury because they don't rebound as smoothly as a bungee cord, described by Webb as a "high-tech rubber band." To date, only one pierson has died bungee jump­ ing in the United States—an instructor felL70 feet during a demonstration off a hot air balloon in October when his cord unhooked from his harness. Other deaths have been repiorted in Australia, New Zealand and Germany as well as France, where the spxirt has since been banned. Still, enthusiasts say increased safety precau­ tions and licensing have made the spxirt one of the safest in the adventure category. Up-t6-date com­ parison and statistics about adventure spxirts are difficult to find, but according to a 1987 Safety Council repiort, hang gliding has a death ratio of eight to7,000, whileskydivinghas a 18-to-115,000 ratio. Bungee jumping's ratio is believed to be much lower, although statistics are not readily available. "I'm more comfortable (bungee jumping) than skydiving, because I know this is safe," said 22year-old jumpmaster Scott Hargis. "With skydiv­ ing, you only get two chances." Still, skydiving remains one of the highest-rated 1 adventure spxirts aroundfor those who can afford it The trend in skydiving for those who cannot afford the expensive certification process is tan- ' dem jumping. Tandem jumping involves hooking the inexpierienced jumpier to a professional jumpier with a harness. Bill Booth came up with the idea in 1984. The Federal Aviation Association has not apipiroved the spxirt yet because it violates an impiortant, existing rule. According to FAA guidelines, every skydiver must have two parachutes—a main and a reserve. For tandem jumpiers to adhere to that rule, four parachutes are needed, but in actuality only two parachutes areused, both worn by the professional. The novice's insurance is the harness. The FAA has established an experimental test­ ing program for tandem jumping, which basically allows people to skydive with a pro if they sign a legal waiver. Other adventure spiorts pxipular with college students are outdoor wilderness adventures, such as white-water rafting and rock climbing. One of the country's best known adventurebased organizations is Outward Bound USA. "Outward Bound programs are based on the belief that overcoming difficult but surmountable challenges increases a student's self-esteem and self-confidence," according to program informa­ tion. Programs like Outward Bound feature numer­ ous activities like canoeing, caving, rock climbing, rapipieling, mountain climbing, white-water raft­ ing, kayaking and dog sledding. Apps begin spring practice By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Spiorts Editor Appalachian State, coming off an8-4 and Southem Conference championship campaign, began spiring football piractice yesterdayafternoon in Kidd Brewer Stadium. One of the major pxiints of empihasis for ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore and his staff during spiring drills will be to find replacements in the defensive secondary, where Appalachian lost all three starters from last year. Gone from last year's squad are All-American free safety Gary Dandridge and comerbacks Mark Mayo and Steve Wilks. The trio started all 12 games last season and combined for nine intercep­ tions. ASU ranked first in theSouthern Conference in piass defense last season, and Dandridge, Wilks and Mayo were primary reasons why. Expiected to step into major roles in the defen­ sive backfield are Kenny Bright, Will Robinson and A1 Ellis is expiected to move from tight end to cornerback. Ellis played at tailback for parts of the last two seasons before moving to the receiving corps four games into last season. Ellis was a high school all-star selection at cornerback and was named Defensive MVP of the North Carolina High School All-Star game following his senior year. Overall, the Mountaineers have seven starters back on defense, including linebacker Rico Mack, the Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year as a junior last season. Offensively, ASU welcomes seven starters back, including quarterback D.J. Campbell and tailback Chip Hooks, the SC Freshman of the Year last season. Also returning for his senior year is punter Harold Alexander, an ail-American selection last season. Alexander averaged 47 yards pier kick in his junior year. Basketball Recruiting ASU picked up its third basketball commitment of the year last week when Tremayne Rooks ver­ bally announced his decision to sign a grant with Appalachian State. Rooks averaged 16pxiints, nine rebounds and two blocks pier game for East High School in Memphis, Tenn., this season. Rooks, a 6'7" forward, was a two-time all-city selection in Memphis and purred his team to a 256 record this season. Rooks is expiected to sign a letter of intent on April 17. Billy Shepherd, a 6'2" pioint guard from Birmingham.AL, signed a letter of intent during the fall recruiting session. Shepherd led Ramsay High School to a third-place finish in the state as a junior. Brian Hege, a 6'2" guard from Ledford High School in Thomasville, verbally committed earlier in the spiring recruiting pieriod. Hege was an allstate selection last year as a junior and led his team to a second-place finish in the state this season. Hege scored a game-high 25 pxiints lastSaturday in the state title game in the Dean Smith Center in Chapiel Hill. Hege is expiected to ink with the Mountaineers on April15, the first day allowed for spiring signings. ASU Head Coach Tom Apike said the Appis are still looking at some players, and "we might sign one more player." �The Appalachian. Tuesday. March ?/ /9Q? UNLV bid denied (CPS)—A Nevada district judge re­ jected a motion filed by the players of the University ofNevada at Las Vegas' men's basketball team to legally gain entry into the NCAA tournament. The ruling came about after the UNLV team decided to fight NCAA sanctions against it as a result of 1977 violations at the school. UNLV was baned from post­ season play in television appearances this season. The team compiled a 26-2 record and finished its season on March 3 with a nation-leading 23-game winning streak. The players argued that they were un­ fairly being punished for violations that occurred years before. Those violations were only recently resolved because a subsequent legal battle between coach Jerry Tarkanian and the NCAA did not end until 1990. On March 11, Judge Donald Mosley said he did not think the current players were treated fairly by the NCAA, but they did not have a legal right to post-season play. Playing in the NCAA tournament is a privilege, the judge said. THE APPALACHIAN tui'xhnsandthursdavs 'DON'T MISS II 4 IVVIVIiiMMI after an abortion?

Take the opportunity to vote, instead of Plaining about thecurrent system. The only way to makea change is to cast lot. America needs to look toward change By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer A segment recently came on The Dis­ covery Channel that I took an interest in, and I would hope more people can do the same in thefuture.The segment had Walter Cronkite hosting a panel of four so-called experts commenting on a 20-minute ex­ temporaneous presentation from each presidential candidate highlighting what each planned to do if they were elected president. I am in no way a political junkie, but I do take an interest in what is going on around me and yes, I do vote. I didn't catch all of the presentations, but I caught enough to develop some strong opinions. Upto now I feel there has not been enough time spent with what each candidate plans to do with the presi­ dency and too much time spent talking about who looks like a better leader, who has slept with whom, and who can poke more fun at whom: American politics at work. The presentations I caught were Demo­ cratic presidential candidates Bill Clinton and Paul Tsongas. Both delivered quite effective speeches, but at the same time they were quite different in their ap­ proaches to the speech. Clinton was straight ahead and to the point, telling everyone exactly what he thought was wrong and what he planned todo tochange things. Tsongas related three experiences during his life and how these experiences affect his everyday decisions as well as how they affect what he would do with the presidency. Both candidates highlighted the most important and obvious issue in this cam­ paign: this country needs to have some changes. Both pointed out that the Repub­ licans have divided the country. Instead of uniting as one, we are divided between class, gender and race. This is something that definitely needs to change. This brought to mind something that has bothered mefor some time now. There are those who like to be on one side of an issue, those who absolutely cannot bear to see the other side of an issue or others to form their own opinion. Recently there has beena battle between the Republicans and Democrats in The Appalachian, a verbal assault if you will. All either group accomplished with their assaults was to prove that both parties have problems, and neither is 100-percent effective. Now to my second pet peeve: straight ticket voters. This country was founded on unity, the coming together of a mass to form one. Why then do we love to sepa­ rate ourselves and associateourselves with a particular party or group, be it political or social or any other type of group? In this country we fight with each other while Japan and Germany run away and laugh at us. Issues such as abortion have torn this country and pitted one against another. The issue of abortion is a private matter that we have made public and humili­ ated many along the way. Why can't we let people make their own choices and be thankful that we have choices—or do we? Race is still a problem in this country. Everyone wants to take sides. What is wrong with coming together? It seems that all we care about is now. We can't come together in hope for a better tomor­ row. Everyone has blind faith, but blind faith is no excuse for ignorance. Changes need to be made all of the time from an international or national level all the way down to a personal level. Become edu­ cated and then evaluate your options both in the upcoming elections and in every­ day personal situations. If we can take pride in ourselves and make ourselves better we can grow together, not sepa­ rately. If we are afraid of change, it only shows that we are afraid of progress. Students complain about General Motors THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON GM is the only automobile company that still uses live animals in car crash tests Readers request that GM change policy To the Editor: Andy looked up in horror. Right in front of Sally, a worm was emerging from his forehead — and he felt himself turning even redder. I am writing to tell you about General Motors: the heartbreak of America. GM is the only automobile manufacturer that still uses live animals in car crash and safety tests. There are no laws that require animals to be used for safety tests, but GM still does. GM uses pigs, ferrets, dogs, monkeys and rabbits in their cruel and unneces­ sary testing. In a typical test done by GM, pigs are restrained and hung in a cloth sling to await a crushing blow to the stomach or chest from a pneumati­ cally driven metal disk. If the animals should survive these gruesome experiments, they are killed by electrocution. The skulls and necks of ferrets are crushed in order to study brain damage. In 1988 experiments, dogs were fed ethyl alcohol, had their chests and pericardiums cut open, and their hearts directly exposed with an air-pressurized impactor. General Motors claims that in spite of all this that the animals are not in any pain. If GM really cares about the safety of its customers, it should try a proven mettiod of installing air bags, which significantly reduces brain trauma in a collision. Despite all this testing, GM still has six of the top 10 cars in the 1990 highest death rate list. Crash dummies are used by other car companies along with visiting accident sites to see the effects of collisions on humans. Mercedes-Benz, SAAB, Audi, Volkswagon, Nissan, Isuzu and Hundai have never used animals to test on. Commendably, Ford stopped the practice of using animals in the 1970s. Recently, two members of the animals rights group, PAL, on the ASU campus visited the local GM dealer in Boone, bringing him a letter to the president of General Motors, Lloyd Reuss, to sign. The letter merely said that he understood that GM tested their cars by using animals and asked that GM reconsider their policy of using animals in their tests. This letter was not rude in any way. He was asked to read over some information on the testing policy and then sign the letter. He did not. He said he did not want to get involved. Did the dealer not understand how cruel this testing was to the animals, or did he just not care? Only he knows the answer. If he does not care about the safety of GM cars, how can he possibly be concerned with the safety of his customers? Think before you purchase your next car. We urge you to buy cars that are safer for yourself and the animals. Do not buy a GM product—Chevrolet, Geo, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Buick, Pontiac, Saturn and GMC Trucks. If safety matters to you, take your business down the road. Johanna Weaver ASU Box 12436 Sheila KaspeTek ASU Box 13819 Parking on campus needs improvement To the Editor: Many students will agree that parking on Appalachian's campus is a growing concern. The system is not meeting the demands of the individuals that it was set up to serve. In today's fast-paced world a car is not a privilege; it is a necessity. I am very distressed about the current parking regulations set up and enforced by the ASU Public Safety and Security Department. Several minor changes need to be implemented in certain areas on campus. I was informed by the ASU Security Department that emergency flashers in no way exempt students, faculty or staff from being ticketed in the no-parking zones behind the residence halls. Where are we supposed to park when loading and unloading oui cars on campus? According to ASU Security there are 20-minute timed zones set aside for that purpose. But, how do several nine-floor residence halls utilize five or six times zones? The bookstore area is another campus location that warrants attention. There are five timed zones that are supposed to service the entire ASU campus. If I leave campus on Friday I am usually loading around noon. Sometimes I stop by the post office to check my mail or grab a snack from the Sweet Shop before leaving. Of course, all of the timed zones are full. What am I supposed to do? I could wait until a parking space clears, but that defeats the purpose of leaving early. The solution to this problem is practical and simple. We need to designate loading zones and/or some method of providing students a temporary parking status. I ask students to evaluate this problem and add their ideas to form a collective solution. Security needs to take our ;deas and concerns into consideration. After all, the department exists for the purpose of serving us. Bradley Tadlock ASU Box 10543 �The Appalachian.

Seventy-one percent of those students surveyed wanted to add additional visitation hours. Of the 25 percent which were content with their hall's hours, 79 percent live in a "C" option residence hall. ASU has two visitation options, "B" and "C" options. "B" option halls have limited visitation, from noon to mid­ night Sunday through Thursday, with extended hours to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. C" option halls allow 24 hour visita­ tion, however, ASU currently has only four of 16 halls that are"C" option. Hoey, Justice, Newland and Winkler are all "C" option. East Residence Hall is partly "C" option. Eighty-Five percent of students would appreciate a change in the policy hours, with only 15 percent seeing a change in hours as negative. Of the 15 percent, half of the students live in "C" option resi­ dence halls. The survey, which was conducted by CRSA, was a random sampling of 500 students, of which 99 percent responded.

Port risk s for neet Tied "T»m At the counseling center, seniors are advised to develop a balanced outlook on graduation. "It's certainly sad to lose the friends and the fun. Seniors need to set aside as much time as they need and devote it to these relationships," Arnold said. However, seniors need to keep this in balance with academic interests. Arnold said,"The mostcommonreaction is 'Let's, get it over with now.' When you're thinkmg about how the economy is affecting your chances for getting a job, the last chapter in calculus doesn't seem impor­ tant."

"It will get the attention of some people. To me, it's not that way. Sexual harassment never needs to be based on monetary considerations. It's a saddecision. There might besome people who think otherwise, but 1 come from a different perspective." Richard Howe, director of the equal opportunities program, said he felt that instructors may be more cautious in deal­ ing with students now that awards of monetary damages are available to sexu­ ally harassed students. Daye said sexual harassment is a power relationship. "Something can be given or taken away from the student, so they will tell a friend or a parent first," said Daye. "The person will come forward because they don't want it to happen again. They don't want to get the harasser in trouble. They just want it to stopand not have their grade effected by it." In most cases, students don't want to fight the accused, but with the new Su­ preme Court ruling, it may become an option, according to Daye. Although the full implications of the ruling remain unclear, legal experts say the worst thing a university can do is ignore complaints of sexual harassment. Charlie Shanor, a law professor at Emory University, noted that the ruling fell under Title EX, which bars sexual bias in all educational programs that receive federal funding, including grants, so pri­ vate as well as public schools would be affected. The ruling basically parallels Title VII, which is the Equal Employ­ ment Opportunity Commission regula­ tion against sexual harassment. Title VII says an employer can be held liable for damages in sexual harassment cases if supervisors request sexual favors of employees in return for something. It also says that employers may be held liable if the sexual harassment involves the creation of a "hostile environment" (sexually explicit comments, nudephoto­ graphs on a wall etc.), but in such cases the employer must have had knowledge of the incident and ignored it. A professor who pressures a student for sex in return for a higher grade might present a clear-cut case of harassment. The university's responsibility becomes unclear, however, if students harass other students. Shanor said it depends on the circum­ stances. For example, if women repeat­ edly complained about suggestive remarks made by members of an on-campus fra­ ternity and the university ignored the prob­ lem, Shanor said he believed the school could be held liable under the court's latest ruling. The Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings in which Anita Hill accused Thomas of sexual harassment has caused many colleges to take closer looks at their sexual harassment policies. See COURT page 2 Program allows high school students to take college courses By ELIZABETH BELL Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's Part­ nership Program continues to aid high school students in earning their degrees early. Most people have heard of the Ad­ vanced Placement Programs in high schools that allow students to earn col­ lege credit, but many have not heard of the Admissions Partnership Program of Appalachian. The APP is provided by Appalachian State to help highly motivated students earn their baccalaureate degree one year earlier than usual. APP participants can earn up to 26 semester hours of college credit in general education while com­ pleting their final year of high school. To qualify for the program, students must meet requirements for admission to Appalachian and must have a recommen­ dation of a high school counselor. These students are officially consid­ ered an Appalachian freshman while at the same time, are seniors in high school. The student has an Appalachian tran­ script and earns credits and a college grade point average like any other oncampus freshman. Courses offered in­ clude English composition and literature, western civilization, precalculus, calcu­ lus and a science. The highschool teachers of the Admis­ sions Partnership Program have been rec­ ommended by the high school principal and are screened and approved by the appropriate department at Appalachian. Following high school graduation, APP students may continue their course work at the Appalachian campus without fur­ ther application. Students may also trans­ fer their college credits toother schools of their choice. The benefit of the Admissions Partner­ ship Program is the absence of redun­ dancy that sometimes exists when an ad­ vanced freshman enters a college. In ad­ dition, students save money and time. Currently, tuition costs are S40 per se­ mester hour for instruction and textbook rental. The six high schools that offer the Admissions Partnership Program are Hibriten High, SouthCaldwell High,West Caldwell High, Davie County High, Starmount High and Forbush High. Carolyn Kanoy, program coordinator in the Division of Continuing Education at Appalachian State, travels to these high schools to conduct parent meetings and to advise students regarding college courses and placement. Most APP students come to Appalachian with about 18 semester hours, said Kanoy. Currently there are 170 APP students. See HIGH page 2 Student Government candidates field questions from Student Senate By KELLY FARRINGTON Appalachian Staff Writer Candidates from the president/vice presidential campaign gave their lastcampaign speeches and entertained questions from senators at the SGA Senate meeting held on March 24. In opening comments, Dan Gurley and Doug Duncan pledged to listen to Appa­ lachian students and acton their opinions. They stated that Appalachian should work as a pro-active university rather than a reactive one. Duncan added, "We want to run this like a well-oiled machine." Chip Baggett and Terie McHale, in their opening comments, stated that they live by their motto, "The Student, The Government, The Same." Baggett em­ phasized that all 12,000 students at Appa­ lachian are members of SGA, not just cabinet members and senators. He said that the Baggett-McHale ticket has the experience of SGA and the experience of student leadership. McHale added that the BaggettMcHale ticket will work for the students. stand up for the students, but also be students. Cameron Roberts was the only candi­ date representing the Roberts-Bozartcampaign. Roberts stated that he is a second­ ary history major and asked for votes and supporters. After hearing the candidates' opening remarks, the senators asked each ticket specific questions from their platforms. Concerns from the Gurley-Duncan plat­ forms were the T-shirts for freshmen, bike racks, and the facility at State Farm. Gurley explained how each idea would be funded and the reasoning behind the ideas. Baggett and McHale were asked to state the most important issue on their platform. McHale answered by explain­ ing the student leader cabinet, which would provide members of each club and organization an opportunity to talk with the president and v ice president on a regu­ lar basis. The idea behind the student leader cabinet is to improve communica­ tion between each club and SGA. Roberts was asked to expand on his implementation of liquor-by-the- drink. Roberts explained that any busi­ ness that did not support liquor-bythe-drink would not receive any busi­ ness from the Appalachian students. He added that this was his most radical idea. After additional questions were an­ swered, thecandidates delivered their clos­ ing remarks and SGA Senate continued the meeting. New business, which included a child recreational facility, laundry facilities. Alpha Omega and budget council, was sent to the Rules Committee of SGA. �-1'he Appalachian Thursday 26 locn Walk-A-Tbon to be held: The first-annual Walk-A-Thon to support the Richard T.

Of that 12 percent, 83 percent live in "C" option halls. "I am optimistic about the proposal, because from what I have seen there is a need for a change in policy," said Smith. The survey results will be presented to residence life, which will review them and determine what changes, if any, need to be made. The survey was conducted due to the amount of student complaints, according to Smith.

"It's not just a ,lessor standing up there talking." "I lie benefit with interactive video is tt ttne person doing it gets motivated by process because it gives them the uvea to choose," she adds. "It's not ng spoon-fed to them." Vf aaiy Ellen Dlouhy, vice president of es at Quality Education Data, an edui o*tal database company that re­ searches and tracks trends in videodisc "sage, said the programs are becoming increasingly popular, especially as a way to reach younger students considered at nsk of dropping out of high school or college. The Adventuresof Jasper Woodbury" is another successful videodisc program that is showing educators the value of this cutting-edge technology. The Jasper series is a product of Vanderbilt University's Learning Tech­ nology Center. It is the successor to apilot project that featured segments of the film "Raiders of the Lost Ark." We used Raiders because it was avail­ able on videodisc, and we had people re­ think it as a problem-solving venture," Bransford said."We said, 'Gee, you have this deep pit that Indy needs to get across, and it s about two Indy's wide.' The stu­ dents just started creating." The technology was so successful with the students that the Jasper series evolved, using the same concept to help students develop problem-solving skills by fol­ lowing the adventures of the character Jasper Woodbury. Bransford said research showed that the videodiscs not only helped students having difficulty, but gifted stu­ dents as well. And, he said Jasper's ad­ ventures have been used by students from first grade to college. The documented results of Jasper were impressive. "The data show that at five different sites, located in five different states, with varying curricula and with widely varying levels of academic achievement, the children in classrooms where the Jasper program was imple­ mented performed better than children in non-Jasper classrooms on an array of at­ titude, conceptual, computational • and problem-solving measures." The videodisc program at Miami rein­ forces those findings in terms of attitude. Research conducted on the effects of the racism videodisc showed that although it didn'tchange already-held prejudices, its message also did not come across as threatening or uncomfortable. Students said they enjoyed participating in the pro­ gram. About four years ago, Miami mass communications professor Bob Vogel came up with the idea of using the tech­ nology to combat racism at the school, which is more than 90 percent white. "It started when I, as a white faculty member, realized I was pre­ judiced...because I was uncomfortable with minority students because I wasn't used to them," he said. During class discussions about racism Vogel said he found himself asking the one minority student in his class to repre­ sent the views of an entire race.. "I realized that I wascontributing to the uncomfortableness,"hesaid. At the time, he was teaching a graduate class on inter­ active video technology. So, Vogel de­ cided to merge his social and academic interest to work with his students tocreate a pilot interactive videodisc program that addressed racism. Since then, Vogel has established a three-course sequence for students inter­ ested in creating a videodisc program for use on the campus. The first class deals with sensitization to social issues, the second is an introduction to videodisc technology and the third teaches students how to create a program. Students research, act, write, produce and tape the program. The racism video­ disc uses four scenarios that allow stu­ dents to choose outcomes, such as: •A white student and a black student meet at a party and address stereotypes Save the rainforests... such as "all blacks can play basketball, and they all listen to rap music." •A professor accuses a black student of taking an extra study guide for an absent black student •A black man asks a white woman out to dinner. •Two roommates, one white and one black, meet for the first time. "This has empowered the students be­ cause it came from the students," Vogel said. The program has been so successful that schools across the country have been calling Vogel for information about start­ ing similar programs. "What we've been trying to do is en­ courage other schools to do their own (videodiscs)," Vogel said. "It gets the word out on campus, it gets students in­ volved and it's exciting when you drive it through the curriculum." and the palm trees!!

Fertility laboratories across the coun­ try are paying as much as S380 a month for students to donate their semen to help infertile couples have a child through artificial insemination. 1 In most cases, students are the vast majority of donors," said William Andrews, executive director of the Amen can Fertility Society in Birmingham, Ala. Andrews cited two reasons for this. First, he said, infertile couples are look­ ing for donors who are intelligent. Sec­ ondly, Andrews said the students simply need money. Medical students are the most common donors, Andrews said. This type of work particularly appeals to these students because they face higher education costs, have little time for work and are most likely to be located near a fertility 7 lab. average paid to donors is about S35 a sample. At least 10 major sperm banks are located at colleges and universities in the United States, including the universities of Texas, Wisconsin, Missouri and Roch­ ester. part-time job any student ever put on a resume. College newspaper advertisements are apopular way to recruit student donors. A recent Zygen lab ad in the Daily Sundial at CaliforniaState University,Nonhridge, offered "up to S380 a month for only six hours of your spare time." The short time required to earn money at a sperm bank is a major appeal to college students. "They're in school full-time, and they have no time to go out for several hours and work at ajob,"said Chris Leonard, an office manager with Zygen Laboratory, a fertility lab in Van Nuys, Calif., that re­ cruits students from local colleges and universities. Somestudentshavebeendonatingregularly to Zygen for more than a year. Leonard said. She estimates that as many as 75 students are actively donating to Zygen, earning $30 per accepted sample Andrews estimates that the nationwide Donations are accepted only after a rigorous screening process that tests samples for adequate sperm count and sexually transmitted diseases. Each do­ nor faces questions about his sexual back­ ground and must undergo a physical and a blood test for the HIV virus. Zygen lab allows students to donate up to three times per week. Other fertility labs place greater restrictions on the num­ ber of contributions per year. Zygen lab superviser Anh Le said the company prefers students as donors be­ cause they often are healthier, better edu­ cated and between the preferred ages of 18 and 35. There is also more ethnic diversity on campus, and thecouples who use the samples are of all races. Even so, there may be some restric­ tions. At Zygen, for example, students who are 5 foot 7 or under need not apply. "Most of the (couples) don't like short men," Le said. Students also may be more intrigued by the idea of helping infertile couples, said Nancy Shanfeld, health promotion coordinator at California State Univer­ sity, Northridge's student health center. "With the number of infertile couples today—and I read recently it's one out of six couples—you've got a tremendous problem. Forty percent of the time, it's the male with the problem," she said. Despite the high pay for short hours, students should not expect to work their way through college as a sperm donor. Because of the careful screening, only a limited number of students are accepted. You can say our average is about five out of50,"Lesaid. MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTION I -634- ' HP* ' I 2224 1108 E.

The movie depicts a doctor, •ayed by Sean Connery, who is purtg a cure for cancer in the jungles of th America. The doctor has been ig with a tribe for the past six years y ing to isolate a serum for the cure of :er. The doctor sends for one of his old colleagues to assist but instead is joined by a fresh college graduate portrayed by Maureen Bracco. The new arrival is met with disappointment and doubt from the doctor. She travels down a dangerous river to provide thedoctor with assistance and to deliver a very important package containing golf balls. The movje 'ifrnvides amazing footage of the rain forests of South America. The excellent footage displays a hard­ hitting visual example of how the rain forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Sean Connery's character is appointed to become the tribe's medicine man when shortly after his arrival he cures a boy's upset stomach with an alka setzer to the amazement of the tribe. His work is so impressive that the tribe's native doctor leaves to isolate himself from the rest of .the tribe. He then-Begins a process of discovering a cure for cancer. The two originally do not get along, but eventually she gains his respect and acceptance. The new assistant has a rough time adapting to living in the jungle and working with second rate materials. The two doctors begin to run into frustration and decide to go to the tribe'sold medicine man and ask for help. The tribe's former doctor con­ fronts Connery and reveals that his past attempts to find a cure have been going the wrong way. The two research together todetermine that the cure for cancer lies in a flower that is in short supply and grows 100feet from the ground on top of trees in the area. The two and the tribe begin to gather all of the flowers they can find as they battle against the arrival of the bulldozers clearing away the forest for a road. The doctors are forced to look at the alternative possibilities for locat­ ing the flower and reproducing the serum in the race against time and bull­ dozers. "Medicine Man" was produced by Donna Dubrow and Andrew Vagna. Sean Connery is the executive producer of the film. The film carries an Rrating. The best part of the film is the beautiful footage and photography of the rain for­ ests of South America. The doctors dem­ onstrate great courage in their stance against the construction and time. The movie does not top my list of favorites, but it does speak to your con­ scious. This film puts the viewer in touch with just how devastating the destruction of rain forests can be to the people that live there and to the world. A Sweet climb up the pop music charts Special to the Appalachian Photo Courtesy of Melted Lsvina ^EF.T DEAL: Pop singer Matthew Sweet is climbing the charts with his album irifriend." Sweet wrote most of the songs in response to his recent divorce. Sweet eves the emotional intensity of the album is what strikes a common chord with his —Ii Drums changed Matthew Sweet. In 1989, he came off the road after his first tour as a frontman and purchased a drum kit. It became the catalyst for his new musical direction. He played the dmm parts on his new demos—those who heard them thought he had finally found his niche. Where once his songs were regu­ lated by the rigidity of programmed rhythms, the real drums gave the new material a loose, unbridled feel Sweet had never experienced before. They got him thinking about what made his favorite records so great: spontaneous, bare-bones recording with the uncertainty of the hu­ man touch behind every note and beat. "Girlfriend," Sweet's third LP and first for Zoo Entertainment, is the climax of this new outlook. Working in a small studio in New York City, Sweet gathered together drummer/ co-producer Fred Maher, guitar munchers Robert Quine and Richard Lloyd, drum­ mer Ric Menck of Velvet Crush, Lloyd Cole on acoustic guitar, and pedal steeler Greg Leisz from k.d. lang's Reclines. Unlike his first two albums, "Girlfriend" was recorded and mixed quickly, without computers and with as few overdubs as possible. Its rock moments are blistering, as the pure melodies skid recklessly along­ side the music's serrated edge. The acous­ tic songs hit down deep with their lyrical poignancy and lush strumming. The har­ monies are no less exquisite. Sweet was bom and raised in Lincoln, Neb. During high school, he worked in a local music store and played in various new-wave cover bands. After graduating in 1983, he departed for Athens, Ga., for summer school. Before long, he joined local band Oh-Ok and formed his own group, Buzz of Delight; both released EPs on Atlanta's DB Records. It was during this period that things started happening for Sweet. The new album is much harder-edged than Sweet's first two efforts without obscuring the artist's uncanny sense of classic pop. Thematically, the new album delves far deeper into the human psyche than its two predecessors, and with good reason: Sweet wrote these songs while frantically trying to keep a firm grip as his personal life took a ride on the tilt-awhirl. While touring Europe as the guitar player in Lloyd Cole's first post-Commo­ tions road band. Sweet was smack in the middle of divorce proceedings with his wife, and money was close to nonexist­ ent. Add to the mix the fact that he was meeting his first girlfriend since the breakup, and the image of an emotional tornado comes into sharp focus. "The album reflects the actual overlap­ ping of theend of one relationship and the beginning of another," Sweet said. "The songs are semi-autobiographical in this sense only." "Girlfriend," originally titled "Noth­ ing Lasts," features a cover photo of ac­ tress Tuesday Weld taken in 1957 when she was a teenager. Of "Looking at the Sun," for example, he said: "I was say ing a couple of things— one being that people often get stuck in destructive relationships, the other that ^ee The Rolling Stones play in Charlotte : ial to the Appalachian oiling Stones AtThe Max," the first ^ ^"*Jmax feature-lengthconcert film, will «• at Discovery Place on March 27. tolling Stones AtTheMax' is strictly id-raiser for the museum's educa'n 1 programming," said Freda *3lson, executive director of Discovlace and the Nature Museum, ri critically-acclaimed film, co-proby The BCL Group and Imax Corr *~*on haS already exceeded $5,400,000 * office receipts for the 19 giant, _ Omnimax and Imax theatresofferfllm- ' as no rock band in the world can thrill of the Rolling Stones at the t^le'r ^orm' so noordinary film can ^ die impact of an Omnimax film.

The 89-minute concert film produced in DigitalSound features 15 of the songs that established the Stones widely held reputation as "the world's greatestrock and roll band." Shot over five nights in July and August 1990 during the fi­ nal European leg of the monumental Steel Wheels/Urban JungleTour, the film continues to gamer exceptional reviews and has appeared on several 1991 yearender movie summaries as one of the year's best. Using the revolutionary camera and projector that advances the film horizon­ tally as opposed to vertically (the conven­ tional method), Omnimax boasts an im­ age size 10 times as big as the standard 35 mm film and three times larger than 70 mm film. This is the larg­ est image in motion picture history. u The awardwinning Omni­ max "Rolling Loop" projector allows images of extraordi­ nary clarity to be projected with unparalleled steadi­ ness onto giant screens, almost fill­ ing the viewer's peripheral vision. Forty-four speakers and 16,000 watts of power surround the audience with incredible sound which adds to the impression of being in the action of the film. This is the largest image in motion picture history. 99 "Rolling Stones At The Max" will be shown Thursdays and Sundays at 8 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays at 8 and 10 p.m. through April. Beginning in May, the museum will offer the film Thursdays through Sundays at 8 and 10 p.m. "We will only offer the film after hours, and it willnot affect our regular Omnimax schedule," said Nicholson. The museum is now showing "The Dream Is Alive" followed by 'To The Limit"starting June 6. Tickets for the "Rolling Stones At The Max" film will cost S13 and will be available only at the box office at Discov­ ery Place or tlirough Ticketmaster ticket centers including Tracks/Record Bar locations and select Cantelot Music locations in North Carolina. Tickets will also be on sale at select Tracks/Record Bar locations and The Record Cellar in South Carolina. To Charge-By-Phone, call Ticketmaster at (704) 522-6500 or (919) 834-4000. Tickets can only be purchased with cash, Visa or Mastercard. the naked truth can sometimes be a de­ structive force." Those universal themes run throughout the record, evidenced in such titles as "Thought I Knew You" ("This one is about feeling betrayed, bit­ ter") and the self-explanatory "You Don't Love Me." Sweet's songs appeal to both the hope­ lessly romantic and hopelessly cynical sides in all of us. They reveal the torture of heartbreak, but always return to the heart for safety.They question the objec­ tives of our faith, but find hope in the human spirit. "Divine Intervention" explores the dif­ ficulty of belief in God in today's secular world. "I just wonder if there really is a God of the kind that's always been de­ scribed to us." And "Day For Night" preaches self-determination: "It's a lib­ eration song. It's about giving up one life for another." There are no clear-cut an­ swers to be found here, just difficult ques­ tions that mirror real life. Make no mistake, "Girlfriend" is a pop record. But it's also an emotional, per­ sonal album that is deeply affecting. Campus Paperback Bestsellers 1.

The Thundering Herd won both tilts, by scores of 2-0 and 2-1. i ":™i I The wins were the first Southern Conference victories of the season for the Thundering Herd, who now stands at 2-6 in the SC and 8-10 overall. The Mountaineers slipped to 7-16 overall and 3-5 in the league with the losses. The Apps and Herd were slated to play a third contest Sunday, but the game was rained out. In the opening game on Saturday, the Mountain­ eers were baffled by the pitching of Marshall's Steve Bennett. Bennett yielded just one hit in the game, a single by John Bonner, and cruised to the seven-inning shutout. Bennett improved to 2-3 on the season. ASU's Chris Vullo gave up just two runs over five innings, but was saddled with defeat, dropping his record to 1 -3 on the season.

Henzler then sent a solo blast over the wall with one out in the bottom of the 11th to give Marshall a 2-1 win. ASU reliever Dave Gonsiorowski, who gave up the game-winning homer, fell to 1-2 with the loss. Marshall's Ricky Paugh, who retired just one Mountaineer batter, picked up the victory to im­ prove his record to 2-0. Matt Spadew went the first 102/3 inning for the Herd, striking out13 Apps and allowing no unearned runs. He allowed just three ASU hits. Mountaineer hurler Danny Wills tossed nine innings of one-run ball. "Our pitchers did a great job," ASU head Coach Jim Morris said. "Vullo and Danny pitched about as well as they can. "They've got two outstanding pitchers," Morris continued. "I've got to give them credit. It was just two fantastic baseball games."

Seventeen other squads participated in the quality competition in Winston-Sa lem. The Mountaineers were unable to land any firstplace finishes at Wake Forest, but they re­ ceived a number of posi­ tive season opening per­ formances. Senior Kedrick Ford was the high-placing in­ dividual performer as he finished third in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.5. Boththe4X 100 and 4 X 200 meter relay teams also captured third-place finishes for ASU. Clocking 41.1 and 1:27.8 respectively, both teams consisted of Leander Watts, Eric Joe, Frank Allen and Jason Dal ton. "Overall it was a good opening meet. Our times were not the greatest, but considering the cold weather and the wind, we are satisfied with the meet," ASU Assistant Coach Paul Goewey said. finishes as Grant set a personal best mark in the hammer throw at 155' 1 1/2", Lloyd clocked 15.1 in the 110 hurdles, and Walters clocked 9:31.5 in the 3,000 meter steeplechase. Sophomore Billy Pemberton posted the only sixth place finish with a personal best time of 15:04.2 in the 5,000 meter run. Both the women's and men's squads will travel to Raleigh this weekend to compete in the Raleigh Relays. The first home meet for both squads will be on April 18 at Kidd Brewer Stadium as the Apps host the Mountaineer Invita­ tional. After the Mountain­ eer Invitational, ASU will set their sights on the Southern Conference championships. The SC Champion­ ships will be held this year on the campus of Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va. The Mountaineers finished second in last season'sSC championship and are coming off a second-place showing in the indoor track season. Following the conference championship, the Apps will compete in the Spec Townes Meet at Athens, Ga. The University of Georgia will serve as the host for the meet. If any Mountaineers qualify for nationals, the Apps will head for Austin, Tx., for the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships. The NCAA's will take place June 26 on the campus of the University ofTexas in Austin. 44 Overall it was a good opening meet.

Appalachian Photo by Larry Baugess TRACKSTERS OPEN OUTDOOR SEASON AT WAKE FOREST: The Appalachian State men's and women's track teams opened their outdoor seasons at Wake Forest last week. The ASU men recorded three third-place finishes in the meet, while the Lady Apps captured four first-place finishes. Finishing fourth for the Apps was sophomore Dennis Gutknecht in the pole vault with a mark of 14'-6" and freshman Ryan Theil in the high jump at 6' 4 . Freshman RichGrant, junior Lawrence Lloyd and senior Todd Walters posted fifth place Lady Apps turn in good performance at Wake Lady Mountaineers capture four first-place finishes in first outdoor meet of ine season By LYDIA E. CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State women's outdoor track squad opened its 1992 season at the Wake Forest Invitational on March 21 competing with squads from Wake Forest, Duke, Davidson, UNC Asheville, UNC Wilmington, North Carolina A & T, Virginia Tech, Navy, Yale, Old Dominion, Colgate, Slippery Rock, Living­ stone, Millersville, Kutztown and Bucknell. The Lady Mountaineers captured four firstplace finishes at the Wake Forest meet with sophomore Melissa Morrison and senior Monica Teeter cap­ turing individual titles. Morrison won the 100 meter hurdles with a clocking of 14.74, and Teeter captured the 400 meter hurdles at 63.54. Morrison anchored the winning 4 X 200 meter relay squad with teammates Precious Quire,Tonie Lazenby and Alice Vinson who combined to clock 1:43.2 for first place. The 4 X 800 meter relay also won with a time of 9:41.6. Carrie Hogg, Melanie Babb, Jessica Parkhan and Julie Anderson com­ posed the winning team. "It was our first meet off of the break and our first meet outdoors," ASU Head Coach John Weaver said. We haven't really gotten into thehard outdoor cycle yet but overall we competed well and did a pretty good job." Weaver sighted the weather conditions in Win­ ston-Salem as a factor in his squad's performance. "It was very cold. The temperature was about 30 degrees, and there were 10-15 mile per hour winds, so that slowed our times somewhat." Also finishing strong for the Lady Apps was junior Sherri Miller who finished third in the discus with a throw of 127'. The Lady Apps return to action this weekend. ASU will venture to Raleigh to participate in the Raleigh Relays. The Raleigh Relays is one of the largest regional collegiate track meets. The Lady Mountaineers, who have won 15 con­ secutive Southern Conference Championships in cross-country, indoor track and outdoor track are favored to win another SC title this spring. ASU must do most of its early-season work on the road, however. Appalachian will not enjoy a home meet until April 18 when it hosts the Mountaineer Invi­ tational.

E- • ^hty-five percent of students surveyed would see a change in hours as is i ive- which echoes a similar statistic of 71 percent of students who would ian Sc dicir hall's hours by increasing visitation time. In fact, Lisa Smith, the t»ix~pcrson of the CRSA visitation change committee, admits that the need for c survey evolved from the number of students' complaints concerning the j-ro nt hours. \V hat should this tell the office of residence life? After reviewing survey sul ts, there should be changes made to accommodate students. This survey io "v^s students' opinion,and if changes are made, the housing structure at ASU kj1d be revamped. Administrators have admitted that they want to accommoiLG more students with on-campus housing.Currently, only 38 percent of ASU jdents live on campus. Considering that all freshmen arc required to live on xrn jpus for an entire year, those numbers are even more questionable. By io-wing students to have expanded visitation hours, there should be an ~ rerased demand for residence hall spaces. The survey found dissatisfaction visitation hours could be the reason students move off campus. These nplc changes in visitation could elicit unparalleled demand for hall spaces, i r* £»ing in additional revenue for the university. VV lien given a choice in options, students narrowly voted to expand the hour 1 ci on to 2 a.m. on wceknights and 24-hour visitation on Fridaysand Saturdays. • G second place option would allow each hall to vote at the beginning of the am to choose an option for that year.

THE FAR SIDE If George Washington were running for president of the United Slates today, he wouldn't have a chance at being elected. Campaigns of all kinds have changed dramatically within the past 200 years—so dramatically that we have to wonder how previous presidents would hold up under the pressure of televised debates and mud-slinging ad­ vertisements. We would have to wonder what the Father of Our Country's opponents would subject him to if he were on a ticket for either party in 1992. The fact that the great general helped us defeat King George's men and win our freedom would not matter when the opposing party's candidates aired the dirty laundry. Washington could have been proven guilty of any number of cardinal offenses ranging from having illegiti­ mate children by his slaves to attacking a group of poor British soldiers on Christmas Day. In this information age, in which we've decided that everything about a candidate's life, public or private, becomes our business once that candidate has decided to run for office, the Father of Our Country would never survive. Even if he survived careful scrutiny of his s»x life in an age in which we've decided that it is our right to know everyone a candidate is sleeping with or has slept with, good ol' George would never survive an important scru­ tiny that developed with the age of television—looks. Come on, what 1992 voter in his or her right mind would vote for a guy who wore his hair like that? The business of campaigning today has become a competition as to whocan charm the most voters,not who will actually m ake a good p.esident. The debates between Democratic presidential candidate John Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard Nixon in 1960 were the First series of debates ever to be televised.The odds were against Kennedy. He had only been a senator from Massachusetts, whereas Nixon had been vice president under Dwight Eisenhower in the '50s. Kennedy was only 43, which would make him the youngest president ever. And, what's more, he was Catholic, which made a lot of Protestants nervous—I guess they thought he was going to make a law that everyone had to go to confession. Anyway, as we all know, Kennedy won the 1960 election and the rest is history. Kennedy's charisma and his debate style helped him against Nixon. Nixon all but made a fool out of himself trying to debate Kennedy on television. Nixon's hot-under-the-collar style was no match for Kennedy's calm, cool manner of debating. I'm not saying Kennedy wouldn't have won anyway, only that his debating skills helped him tremendously against Nixon. Ronald Reagan, a former actor, had the same advan­ tage Kennedy had, but in a different form. Reagan didn't exactly whip Mondale in debates in 1984, but his acting career had taught him a few tricks about charming the American public. Candidates are in business to win, and they'll use whatever tricks they have to defeat their opponents. Elections are no longer a matter of deciding who will be the best president. Candidates are out to feed the Ameri­ can people exactly what they want to hear. Any candidate who has any hope of winning is going to tell you that he or she is for education and against taxes. It's almost impossible to tell from the candidates' platforms exactly who will actually do something if elected. Many candidates, instead of saying they're for educa­ tion and against taxes and telling the American people all the wonderful things they'11 do if elected, decide to attack their opponents through negative political advertising. Some campaigns aredirtier thanothers. The Jesse Helms/ Harvey Gantt senatorial race in 1990 is the nastiest one I've seen yet. Helms went at Gantt's throat, and vice versa, on every issue from abortion to taxes. Then, of course, there are those incidents in which dirty laundry gets aired, and we Find out that a candidate had an extramarital affair. Yes, extramarital affairs are wrong. Everyone knows that. But what we have to remember is that a candidate's affair is the business of that candidate, his or her spouse, and the third party— that's it. It is not the business of the American public. A justifiable reason for investigating a candidate's private life in such a manner is that the American people want a president with good moral character, and sleeping around on one's spouse is an indication of the opposite. However, we can never know all the details, so we are better off keeping our noses out of it, especially with the country in the situation it is in now. My personal opinion is, Find me acandidate whocan straighten up theeconomy, and I don't care who he or she slept with. With the election dates drawing nearer and nearer, we need to start thinking about who to vote for, if we haven't already. We also need to consider how much of our opinion is based on how good an official we think the candidate will make, and how much of it is based on modern media portrayals of political figures. Editor's note:Tarlelon is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. Writer wants to know: why ask why? By WILFONG M. FRAZIER in Appalachian Staff Writer 1. Why did I not hear a single person discuss Desert Storm in the classroom while it was happening? Was I in the wrong class? the wrong place? the wrong campus? Were professors warned not to discuss it? 2. Why do ASU students wear T-shirts and sweatshirts that advertise another uni­ versity? Why didn't they attend those other schools whose shirts they wear so much? Do you think that students at UNC or Duke walk around campus wearing ASU T-shirts? BY GARY LARSON 3. Why can'teverybody, especially the media, totally ignore the Klan marches in Blowing Rock and Boone? Why can't I make myself believe that being out of sight is not being out of mind? Why can't it snow about three feet on Easter Sunday, so that all one would see of the marchers are eyeballs? 4. Why are professors allowed to pile work on students over Spring Break? What's the point of having aSpring Break if there is no break to speak of? Who is it a break for anyway? The students or the professor? Who beneFits, in the end, from Spring Break? 5. Why can I buy twice as much food at a fast food restaurant as I can at the ASU Food Court? Why has the burger smell and look remained the same for the past 15 years? Why are smokers given the largest room in the Food Court and nonsmokers allocated to the smallest, coldest room? 6. Why are students who receive veter­ ans' beneFits required to be degree-seek­ ing instead of certification-seeking stu­ dents? Why should I have to spend an unnecessary year in school when I can be teaching with a certificate just as easily as with a degree, since I already have one B.S. degree? Who do you think beneFits from this requirement? 7. Why doesn't the office in charge of issuing parking spaces on campus make it clear, by printing the fact somewhere, that parking spaces are sold on a firstcome First-serve basis? Do they think that I would pay good money to walk all the way up the hill to Broyhill parking lot, in the dead of winter, at night after my last class at 9, with a load of books, to get my car? 8. Why does the Appalachian re­ quire that all letters to the editor be typewritten and double-spaced? Are we editors and proofreaders or are they? 9. Why ask why? Why not just drink beer, get drunk and forget the whole thing? Why indeed? Organization thanks newspaper OASIS, agency of protection for abused, appreciates coverage OASIS expresses its appreciation RA comments on residence life columns To the Editor: To the Editor: OASIS, Inc. would like to thank you and Randy Reinink for the article that The Appalachian ran about our program and services in the February 25, 1992, edition. There was one item that I would like to have corrected. In talking with Randy, I was explaining the difference between a she'ter like OASIS and one such as the Sleeping Place. OASIS has guidelines that a client must fall within to be eligible to utilize the OASIS facilities. Unfortunately, OASIS cannot accommodate persons who are "homeless" due to situations other than domestic violence or sexual assault or abuse. Our clients are in danger or arc threatened with domestic violence or a sexual assault situation. Randy used a phrase to explain this difference, he stated that OASIS is not a "social referral agency." This statement is inaccurate. A main focus for OASIS is to provide referral to our clients for medical, legal and financial needs. We would like to make this point clear to your readers. We would hate for someone to go without help because they were unaware of the services that OASIS can provide. Thank you for your help with this minor correction. And once again, we are very grateful for the exposure to your readers. We appreciate your help! God makes the snake Jennifer Herman, OASIS, Inc. P.O. Box 1591 Boone, NC 28607 I must question where The Appala­ chian received the information to do the "Residence hall policies examined" article. Obviously, your source was not well-informed on residence halls and their policies. The first three sentences of the article were correct and factual. The rest was your opinion, and was based on insufficient information. Some corrections of fact I suggest for the article arc: 1. "With the exception of East Hall and Coffey Hall, every residence hall, either single sex or coed, has separate halls for each sex."—Not true—What about Winkler? 2. "What also makes perfect sense is that up until this year, one bathroom on each hall was designated for guests of the opposite sex ."—Not true—I lived in Bowie my freshman year (89-90) and we did not have a rcstroom designated for males. 3. "Unfortunately, the unnecessary rules arc enforced as well as the necessary ones."—What does this mean?— I am a Resident Assistant, and every rule enforced in my building is very necessary for the protection of my residents. If you have a problem with the rules, I encourage you to use your Resident Student Association to make a change in policy, just as we are attempting to change the visitation policy through our campus-wide organization. 4. "Why docs the Office of Resi­ dence Life (or whoever is m charge of setting up options in the different halls) seem to think that everyone who wants to live on C-option wants to live on a coed hall?" —What about Newland?— 5. "I wish more single-sex halls were available on campus. Only one, Frank, is available for guys, and after this year only Lovill, White, Belk and Eggers will be available for girls."—Not true— Justice is also available for men and Newland will be available for women. No, Newland will not be closed for construction this fall. In the future, please try to acquire some facts before you write again about housing on campus or the Office of Residence Life. As for the change in visitation hours proposal. Campus Resident Student Association is pushing for that change. We encourage you to attend one of our meetings (Mondays 7 p.m. room 119 of IG Greer) to voice your opinions, or utilize the representatives from your hall as a resource. Our organization will provide you with minutes from our meetings so you will not be misinformed again. This is the second lime this academic year our organization has been misrepre­ sented. It only makes me question the validity of the other "news" in The Appalachian. Beth Rissmiller P.S. I just read the "Greeks do not need more housing" article. I do not have the time nor do you have the space in this paper to make correction to the article. I again impress upon you the need for using reliable sources. I feel sure the staff at the Residence Life Office will be happy to help you get accurate information. �LIL The Appalachian.

The Senate tickets consist of Chip Biggett/TerieMcHale, DanGurley/Doug Duncan and Cameron Roberts/Danny Bozart. The candidates were questioned by a panel consisting of members of The Ap­ palachian, WASU, the College Demo- crats, the Young Republicans and InterFraternity Council. In their assessment of SGA, the Gurley Duncan ticket admitted that they see some inefficiency in the current senate opera­ tion and proposed reducing thenumber of Elections will be held on March 25, 26 On campus voting: 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. in residence halls Off campus voting: 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. on the 25th and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on the 26th. senators in a organization that Gurley said has become "bloated." Duncan agreed that there is a lack of organization this year but said, "I am the - to reon on lie m. person who can bring Senate back to the level that it was." However, McHale said she had not seen the problems Gurley described in senate this year. '1 feel senate has beer strong this year. I would say that we've been getting a kick in the pants. The senate has worked hard." McHale conceded that she felt the meet­ ings needed to be run moreefficiently, but added, "Senate has done a lot for the students even though we haven't passed bill after bill." Roberts said he did not see the need for structural changes in senate and felt the senate was doing an adequate job. "Sen­ ate is fine the way it is," Roberts said. A major topic, which was addressed several times in the panelists' questions, asked the candidates their plan to in­ crease student involvement and interest of SGA. A recent survey by student de­ velopment found that 74 percent of stu­ dents had never talked with their senators. Gurley and Duncan advocated an "open-door" policy, a forum for students to talk with the president and vice presi­ Seniors give money to This is your brain. # library fund This is your brainon drugs. a)- By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer Five hundred and twenty-five seniors hive pledged to give a combined total of $108,750 to Belk Library. Fifteen hundted dollars was collected last week with iijney continuing to come in daily, said Senior Committee Class Gift Chairman Kelly Keith. "Response has been good,"said Keith. "Five hundred and twenty-five students hive said yes to pledging, and many more hive said maybe." The Senior Committee held a phoneUhon to contact seniors and inform them ibout the class gift The class goal was 500 pledges of $150 each. The senior class has already passed that goal and hopes to continue to receive pledges. The Senior Class of 1992 decided to make its gift a contribution to the library fund based on a vote, which showed that amajority of seniors supported the library fund as their class gift. "We've gotten a lot of praise from students and faculty," said Keith. "We hope to present the money to the library and have some say in what is to be bought," said Keith. "It will be a combined effort between the library and the seniors." On Wednesday, April 29, a reception *ill be held in the library from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. "It's a way of saying thank you to 'bose who pledged," said Keith. The committee will present the library the money it has collected at that hme and accept new pledges. There will also be a display of what is being bought *"b die money by the library, explained with. A suggestion box will also be set "P to take ideas from the seniors. The money will be spent on a little bit J" a lot of different areas," commented w>th with. Pledges are made in five increasing yearly amounts, explained Keith. Each s®1'°r contacted is asked to give $10 now •nd increase the amount by $10 each year for five years. Therefore, the senior class °f 1992 will present its entire monetary ut its fifth year class reunion. The library, though, is able to spend the money the committee has collected from e first installment, without delay. Each pledging senior received an inj^bve gift.

Students living on-campus are more active and well-adjusted than other students, according to a recent student development survey.

Refund policy changes to help students By AM ANDA NELSON Appalachian News Editor Students will receive cash back if they drop their classes before the 25th day of classes, due to a refund policy passed by the ASU Board of Trustees in their March 20 meeting. The change was called "more lenient toward students," by Mary Kay Ollis, board member and student development committee chairman. The refund pobcy entitles a full refund to students who notify of their withdrawal before classes begin. However, students who withdraw within the first five days of classes will receive a 90 percent refund of tuition, fees and room rent payments. All refunds exclude adv ance tuition and hous­ ing deposits. Sixty percent of tuition, fees and room rent can be recovered by students within the sixth to 15 day of classes, dropping down to 30 percent from the 16th to 25th day. After the 25th day of classes, there is no refund available. Increasing costs will increase the cost of the proposed science and mathematics building by $4,900,016. The estimated cost of the building went from $32,666,773 to $37,566,789, and was approved by the board. In other business, the board approved a $23,000 office space addition to the New River Light and Power Company which is to be used for drafting and engineering. The addition will be funded by the current working funds of New River Light and Power Company. Applying to ASU became more expen­ sive with the board's approval of an appli­ cation fee increase of $10, from $15 to $25. The increase had already begun at several other UNC system schools, according to the business affairs commit­ tee. The additional revenue from the appli­ cation increase fee would go toward the two-year delayed installation of a tele­ phone registration system and to finance a recruitment video tape to all persons applying to the university. In other business affairs, a consultant was hired to bring the Steam Plant into compliance with the various regulatory agencies. The board voted by mail to hire See REFUND page 2 dent, a weekly column in The Appala­ chian and attendance at RSA meetings. Roberts and Bozart agreed that most things like "open-door" policies were common sense; hence, they said they were understood platform goals. McHale said that a reason for the lack of communication concerning the senate was inadequate coverage in The Appala­ chian. "There has been no communica­ tion. It has not been my fault. I have been in contact with them (the newspaper)," McHale said. In other questions regarding: •Greek housing All candidates agreed to support greekfunded greek housing, with Roberts ad­ vocating the building of additional resi­ dence hall for non-gTeeks. AH the candi­ dates pointed out the benefit of additional space in the residence halls which would be freed up for non-greek studentsif greeks are able to work out a housing proposal. •Environment Roberts dubbed he and his running mate "the env ironmental presidents,"and said they wanted more recycling bins in areas that are more visible and accesible to students. Gurley and McHale agreed on an expansion of the current recycling program with Gurley advocating the start of recycling plastic. McHale stressed the See SENATE page 2 Survey finds on-campus students more active By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian students wholiveoncampus are more involved with student ac­ tivities, are happier with their social lives, and perform slightly better academically, according to a study done by the student development office. The study showed that on-campus stu­ dents have a better appreciation for uni­ versity-sponsored art, music and theater. "Students thatlive on campus are more exposed to other students and faculty, thus allowing them to grow socially," said ASU Vice Chancellor for Student Development, Dr. Greg Blinding. Blinding also said, "Students that live on campus obtain a more positive selfimage, and their new self-image is more likely to provide the student with a more positive college experience," The schools in the University of North Carolina system are required to poll their seniors every two years. The report entided "College Student Experiences of Graduating Seniors" is Appalachian's most recent poll. During the spring semester of 1991, graduating seniors were asked to com­ plete Pace's College Student Experience Questionnaire when they applied for graduation. The sample consisted of 756 students, or approximately 633 percent of the graduating senior class. However, the data presented in the report is from only seniors. Of those re­ sponding, the majority said that "Stu­ dents who have lived in a residence hall at Appalachian reported a higher gain than students whohave not lived in a residence hall at Appalachian in the area(s) of de­ veloping one's own values and ethical standards, the ability to get along with different kinds of people, and understand­ ing one's own abilities, interests and per­ sonality." Freshmen are usually required to live on campus for their first two semesters and then may seek whatever typeof hous­ ing they wish. Transfer students aid stu­ dents from the Walauga County area that live at home are the only students not required to live in a residence hall as freshmen. "We notice differences in the areas of use of thestudent union, the fitness center and the university meal plans," Blimling said. There are other effects according to the report, which stated students have fewer emotional problems and have higher edu­ cational aspirations when they live on campus for all four (or more) years, mti are more likely to graduate. The on-campus student has no work with electricity or a rent payment because that is all taken care of at the time of tuition, thus providing the student with a more free and unclouded mind for learn­ ing, Blimling said. "The laiiversity is a rather benevolent landlord," said Blimling. Due to the effect that on-campus hous­ ing hason students' satisfaction with their whole college experience, the university is trying to create more on-campus hous­ ing. There will be between 400-500 new spaces created for students that want to live on campus; however, the timing is unknown. "The problem is to decide where to put upanew building.Wedo live in the mountains, and they are not the easiest place to build,"said Associate Vice Chan­ cellor for Student Development, Robert Fide. "It is up to each individual student to decide what is best for him or her in their academic career," said Blimling. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. Mm-rh 74 foo?

"Hey! Baby! What ya doin tonight?" Or... "Gorgeous! Wanna take a ride?" yells a hairy mongrel as he pulls up beside me in a loud and longMalibu. Or... "Beautiful! Do you want me to shake or call you in the morning?!" Ugh!!! Why do some men find it necessary to yell at women? I've never witnessed a female (one that doesn't hang around street corners nightly) whistle and make cat calls at men. As one of my friends speculates, what relationship has ever developed from a man yelling the above lines? Further more, what do these men hope to accomplish by leering and jeering at passing fancies? Not that I'm so vain as to say that men fight for my attention whenever I walk by, but even one offense is too often. Well, I do have to admit that I find it very difficult not to jump into the arms of an obnoxious male pig after hearing these oh-so complimentary comments and scream, 'Take me!" Being that March is Women's History Month, I'm splurging by writing a feminist column. Oooo... I said it. Feminist. No, this political statement is not reserved for ttunch female activists holding signs that say, "Men are scum!" In my opinion, a feminist is any woman or ran who speaks out and recognizes the mistreatment of women. Three women have undergone unnecessary persecution this year because of a crime that they did not commit. No one knows what really happened to produce the trials of Clarence Thomas, William Kennedy Smith and Mike Tyson. Sexual offense trials cause turmoil because one never knows who to believe. These women had everything to lose and nothing to win by subjecting themselves to the eyes of the world. And regardless of what really happened, they should be commended for their courage to speak out. In just one year, three public figures and countless other men have been accused of some sort of sexual offense. Why are women finally speaking up? We're sick of it. We're sick of reading statistics that say: A woman is battered every 15 seconds. A rape ts committed every six minutes. Three to four million women in the United States are beaten in their homes each year by •heir husbands, ex-husbands or male lovers. Thirty-one percent of all female homicide victims in 1988 were killed by their husbands or toyfriends. Fifty-five percent of all female victims of domestic sexual abuse are children under the age of 11. Twenty-five percent of college women in one survey experienced rape or attempted rape. Of dtcse, 84 percent knew their attackers. But only 'Pwcent went to the police. One woman in four will be sexually assaulted m her lifetime. Fifty-three percent of battering husbands in ""e study also abused their children. Domestic violence is the single largest cause °f injury to women in the United States; 20 Fercent of emergency room visits by women are or injuries caused by battering.

Writers plan to gather for convention in May Poets, journalists, authors are among the 100 talents visiting the High Country By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer About one hundred writers will be visiting the high country from May 6-10. The Atlantic-Carib­ bean Chapter of the Society of American Travel Writers is a group of professional writers that includes photographers, editors and television jour­ nalists from as far north as M aryland to as far south as the Caribbean. The writers attending are well published and highly regarded in their fields, including writers of National Geographic Traveler and The Washing­ ton Post. A press conference at Farthing Auditorium will feature Charles Kuralt, CBS News correspondent and author of "A Life on the Road." Loonis McGlohan will also be appearing. Tickets will be $8 for adults and $6 for'children and students. Tickets will be available at local chambers of commerce and High Country Host. This is the summer meeting for the Society of American Travel Writers, and according to Sheri Jayne Moretz, Creative Director of North Carolina High Country Host, "it was very surprising that they chose the high country. 1 think they realize what we have to offer in terms of crafts and vaca­ tion opportunities." The writers will be rafting down the Nolichucky River as well as dancing to the USAir Jazz Band during their stay. They will be touring Boone, Blowing Rock and surrounding counties in search of story ideas. The visiting writers are interested in offering a seminar for ASU students who are interested in such areas ascommunication arts, hospitality man­ agement and photography. Students would be able to ask questions about their fields of interest. De­ tails are still being planned because it conflicts with the exam schedule.

Dean of Education retires By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Ben Strickland, who is currently Dean of the College of Education, will be retiring after30 years at Appalachian. Strickland first came to ASU in 1962, when Appalachian was strictly a teachers' college. He was here to witness the change in the university in 1967. After being appointed Dean of the College of Education, Strickland made several contributions to Appalachian. "I hop* that the leadership I've provided over the past nine years has benefited Appalachian," Strickland said. "With the cooperation of the fac­ ulty, we've reorganized the college and have been accredited by NCAE, which is one of the best." Strickland also traveled to Washington, D.C., to tell other colleges how to become organized and how to prepare for self-study. Appalachian's first doctoral program was insti­ tuted with the help of Strickland and other faculty "members. SCHOLARSHIP ESTABLISHED: The Benjamin Strickland Scholarship will be awarded Mutually to Strickland hop*s that Appalachian will continue an undergraduate student majoring in education, who is also an active member of the Appalachian chapter to improve its program in the future."I want to see of NCAE. Strickland (center) is pictured with Brooke Harrower and Brian Kirby. that Appalachian cares about its students," he said. " Time needs to be spjent looking at the quality of programs we offer. Sometimes we forget to look inward." Although looking forward to his retirement, Strickland will miss the people he works with as well as the time he sp*nds with Appalachian. "I usually adapt well to new situations," he said. "But I'll miss my daily routines here." After leaving his position at Appalachian, Strickland plans to spjend his time traveling. He also plans to pursue his hobby of quilting. He would like to become involved with his commu­ nity and is considering running for public office in the future. A scholarship has been set up in Strickland's name to commemorate the many years he has given to Appalachian. The scholarship was established by students from the North Carolina Association of Education unit Strickland has been a 30-year member of this organization. The scholarship will be given to students on a yearly basis. "I hop* the scholarship will help p*ople who need financial assistance," Strickland said. "Not everyone can be affluent." See DEAN page 4 Fraternity sponsors essay contest on KKK opinions Kappa Alpha Psi offers Watauga High School students a chance to express racial views By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Freedom is a word that comes to mind when one thinks of the United States. Here in this country we have freedom of spjeech, prress and various other rights. But, how far are these rights allowed to go? When p*ople are being adversely affected, should freedom of sp*ech still be allowed? This is a touchy topjic, esp*cially in instances such as sexual harassment and the ideas or actions of groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or similar hate group* There have been appearances of biblical group* around Appalachian's campus distributing small bibles and pamphlets, but what if other more notorious groups came and handed out fliers? Indi­ vidual students and professors would probably be surprised at first, but then they might wonder if this is just one of the basic rights of American citizens. These topics werebrought up recently at Watauga High School when the Brothers of the Mu Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi at Appalachian de­ cided to spjonsor an essay contest for the freshman class. The prize will be $100 for the best essay, which will be judged by a group of brothers from the fraternity in early April. The winner will be announced one Apnl evening in the student union's "Our House." The essay is for the freshman class only, suppos­ edly to get younger students more involved in their community. The deadline is April5, and each essay must be between 500 and 1,000 words. The win­ ning student will receive a plaque along with the $100 prize when the essays have all been read and the brothers have voted on the winner. The essay's controversial topjic is the following: "Should the United States allow alleged hate group* such as the Skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan the right to march? Why or why not?What effect could die Ku Klux Klan march through Blowing Rode have on the Watauga community?"The brothers of the fraternity believe the purpose of this essay topic is to encourage young students to take an active interest in social issues within their community. The brothers thought that a media event such as the Ku Klux Klan march was a good opportunity to give high school students a chance to express their opinions about an issue that could have a great affect on their community. This essay might also help make these freshmen get interested in the events around the world and, therefore, pay more attention to the news and political affairs, such as die upjeoming election. The Ku Klux Klan march brings up various topics centering around the freedom that Ameri­ cans are granted. These topics are ones that every­ one, not just the Watauga High School freshmen, should consider.It is a touchy issue, because noone wants their rights infringed upjon, yet no one wants to be verbally abused because of their race or the ideas they express. In a country such as the United States, where freedom is of incredible importance, pjeople, both young and old, need to express their cpinions about topics such as these. By spionsoring this essay, the brothers of Kappa Alpjha Psi fraternity, along with the students and die administration at Watauga High School, are giving everyone an opportunity to ponder and discuss recent controversial issues. This is a way for the freshmen at the high school to express their opinions and feel as if pjeople are really listening. �Ih£ Appalachian Twtdgy Myth 24 7007 Cash for Coll •te majoring in education and must be an •cave member in NCAE.

By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor After his team won the Southern Conference Tournament Championship on March 8, ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce made a prediction took seriously. "We're going to win a game or two in the f)CAA Tournament," LeForce proclaimed. Few reporters in the Asheville Civic Center press room that night, even the diehards from Johnson City, took LeForce's remarks seriously. He was just caught up in the moment of having won his second SC championship. There was no dance the Bucs, embarking on their fourth straight NCAA appearance, could come away with that elusive win. Right? Wrong. ETSU did themselves, and the Southern Conference, proud last weekend. The tiny school from the underrated conference sent ihockwaves through the college basketball world by downing powerful Arizona 87-80 last Friday in the Southeast region in Atlanta. few That's Arizona from the Pac-10, generally regarded as one of the nation's top conferences. That's Arizona, the third-seed in the region. That's Arizona, a team ranked among the nation's top 10 year-in and year-out. And East Tennessee State, the Southeast's No. Hseed, gave the Wildcats the beating of their ftand put the SC on the center stage of the JttA dance. Chances are if you had asked the Arizona players before the tournament what conference I* Bucs competed in, they would have been Humped. Hist Tennessee State made certain the Wildcats will never forget. In fact, the Buccattera let the world know—the Southern inference is for real. Prior to the Bucs victory over Arizona, the Bt Southern Conference team to score a ktory in the NCAA Tournament was TennesBe-Chattanooga back in 1982.

"Webeatalotof really good teams," ASU Head Coach Paul Mance said. "Since I've been coach­ ing, this is the highest we've finished. With a couple of breaks, we could have finished even higher. "We wanted to make the Top 20. That was our goal from the beginning of the season," Mance continued. "All of our guys wrestled well. They wrestled hard and gave a good, honest effort. Everybody did a good job. There are schools all over the country that know about Appalachian State University that didn't before." One hundred eighteen-pound grappler Donnell Rawls, who entered the tourney undefeated, won his first three matches and advanced to the semifi­ nals. Rawls opened the tourney by scoring a 13-7 victory over David Land of the Universityof Mary­ land. He followed that with a 9-2 win over Eastern Michigan's Terry Venturini. Rawls' third victory came over Eric Akins of Iowa State, who was ranked fourth in the nation in the 118-pound class. Rawls took control of the quarterfinal match and scored a 15-5 win. "That win impressed a lot of people and got Donnell some good publicity," Mance said. "Ev­ erybody was going around asking 'Who is that guy?'" In the semifinals, Rawls faced the country's toprated 118-pound matman, PennState's JeffPrescott. Prescott, the defending nationalchampion, downed Rawls 13-6 to advance to the finals. "Halfway through the match, the score was tied 4-4," Mance said. "Donnell made a couple of mistakes, and Prescott scored some good points. We were really pleased with Donnell getting that far." Rawls then downed Clarion's Eric Burnett, set­ ting up a rematch with Akins for third place. Rawls suffered a 5-1 defeat, but still finished fourth in the nation. For his performance, Rawls was named AllAmerican. "It's great having that caliber of wrestler here at ASU,"Mance said. "He'll be in the top two or three in the country right off the bat next year." Adrian Hines, ASU's 150-pound participant, opened things up by doubling up Oklahoma State's Jody Wilson 10-5. Hines lost to Nels Nelson, the No. 7 seed from Boise State, in the second round by a 7-5 count. 'That kid wasreally tough,"Mance said."Adrian wrestled really well." Hines was then eliminated from the tournament when he lost 15-2 to Cleveland State's Monty Ohi in the wrestleback. "Adrian never got mentally into the match," Mance said. "He was mentally down from losing in the round of 16. "We'rereally proudof Adrian. He's a three-time conference champion. He's done an awful lot for ASU wrestling. He's a great wrestler."

Sports Editor One of the more incredibly vapid ideas to come out of our state government lately has the potential to have far reaching and possibly devastating effects on all students in the North Carolina system. Stale Auditor Ed Renfrew's £>e X office recently completed an audit requiring 900 hours and interviewing 250 faculty at four state universities. As a result of this audit, he has called for university faculty to somehow account for the number of hours they spend at their jobs. Apparently, some abuses have been made by faculty (the audit found one person who took off sick leave to work another job), but to place a requirement like this on faculty (who are already burdened with such bureaucratic Hie endless clutter of campaign posters, platforms and campaigning SGA exercises as productivity reports) is simply absurd. , [tsident/vice presidential candidates will soon disappear. The speeches and To begin with, how do you define when faculty mem­ bers are or are not doing something related to their i wsentations will culminate with the SGA elections, on March 24 and 25. The Appalachian supports Gurley i pe and Duncan for SG j Following a close evaluation of all the candidates' platforms, The AppalaJiian endorses the Dan Gurley-Doug Duncan ticket forSGA president and vice resident. Hie Gurley-Duncan platform is specific and more defined than that of revious platforms which tended to be vague, thus making it easier for the (fleers to accomplish their broadly defined objectives. The Gurley-Duncan ilatform addresses specific areas which need to be addressed on campus and S pecific ways in which they can be accomplished. Perhaps the most impressive part of the Gurley-Duncan ticket is the primary tsearch done by the candidates with respect to their quite ambitious platform. he Gurley-Duncan ticket contacted the appropriate administrators to deterthe feasibility of their platform objectives. "Acceptable" excuses in the such asimpossible objectives, have allowed candidates the leeway toduck tr platform goals. The amount of research by Gurley and Duncan should e that Appalachian students will get a team willing to work toward ic and attainable goals. A major problem faced by Senate this year is a lack of student involvement. I Astudent development survey, which found that 74 percent of students never lilted with their senator, has intensified pressure on Senate, which claims to be "mouthpiece" of the students. Gurley and Duncan propose public forums fiich would allow them to talk face-to-face with the students, as well as Bending RSA meetings. While these forums have been attempted before asuccessfully, with proper planning and leadership these forums could be a al mouthpiece for the students. Their platform also has other aimed attempts [increasing awareness, which should encourage additional student involveent. Hie Gurley-Duncan platform seems to impact every Appalachian student, rossing the boundaries of diversity. Issues such as safety, academics and the ivironment seem to receive top priority from the ticket. Again, each area has utlined specifics on the means in which to accomplish these goals. Hiere are certain areas of the platform which seem frivolous or unnecessary sch as the traffic officer at Walker Hall during class changes, "Dead Week" olicy, telephone registration system, support facility at State Farm, painting niversity buses, formation of "University Traditions Taskforce" and the istribution of a T-shirt to incoming freshmen and transfer students. In a time of economic hardship which has seen various departments expen­ ding cuts to their budgets, it is hard to justify free T-shirts on the argument f increasing university pride. The bookstore is there for that purpose, so any indent who wishes to exhibit their university pride, can buy whatever type of Appalachian memorabilia they choose. There again, the university's need for funding is so overwhelming that minor Nails such as these can be overlooked, to be reexamined when faced with a i°re promising financial situation. Students who vote in the SGA elections, which have a notoriously low •tnout, should keep in mind that they are voting for their future representation. that opportunity to vote, instead of complaining about the current system. V only way to make a change is to cast a ballot. Otherwise, you lose your '0nce to complain. j** THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON How vampires have accidents. positions as university profeasors? For most professors, being an academic is their life (or at least a big part of it). How do you break this down aid account for it how by hour? Being an academic isn't like building cars. You don't just come in and work your shift and then go home. Some things are pretty easy to keep track of, like time in the the classroom and office hours, but what about time spent guiding or otherwise counseling students?This sort of thing takes effort and skill, and it most certainly is not simply a matter of the amount of time spent. Some weeks a professor may have 20 people come by his or her office, and other weeks there won't be anybody. Thai there is the issue of the time spent in research, catching up, writing and all of the other activities that go with being an academic. Contrary to popular belief, edu­ cation is a lifelong process for everybody, especially for people in academia. At the rate that most fields are progressing today, if you do not make a fairly concerted effort to keep up, you will soon only be able to talk about the "good old days." Not only do people at universities dispense knowledge, but a large number of them add to the knowledge base of their particular discipline. This has been true since the time of the Greeks, and it is just as true today. Most breakthroughs or major shifts in perspective about some­ thing come about as the result of the efforts of many people adding their bits to the knowledge base. Without this sort of effort, our educational system and learning as we know it would be plunged into the abyss. I suppose that research and "keeping up" seem like fairly leisurely pursuitsrelative to things that other people do for a living, but most other people would come out of their trees if they were asked to do the sort of work for the pay that the typical faculty member receives. In most business offices, when 5 pjn. rolls around, you may go home and do whatever you want until time to report in the next morning. This does not require dial you extensively plan what you will do tomorrow, including finding sources, grading papers and preparing lectures. I wonder how many people who believe that teachers and professors have it so easy have ever taught classes and really under­ stand what it involves. How many of these people are willing to make the sorts of sacrifices that are necessary to become professors? Graduate school is quite unlike your first four or five or whatever years in college. Classes require an extensive amount of outside work. You have to spend a lot of time figuring out, researching and writing a thesis. Gradu­ ate assistants hips aren't the worst deal in town as far as jobs go, but they pay just enough to get by (with a little help from a student loan). There isn't much time for other activities, like relationships, let alone starting fami­ lies. I'm not out to stir up sympathy for the plight of the academic. I like being a graduatestudent, and I'm willing to live with the choices I have made. I am trying to point out that the vast majority of faculty are hardworking and dedicated individuals who love what they do and wouldn't be where they are today if they were not. They need the room in which to do what they do best, which is preserv­ ing, transmitting and creating knowledge, not shuffling papers and monitoring themselves. Note: Inpreparing this article, I am indebted tothe late Frank Terrant, Jr., who woke me up to all of these things. Rayle is a graduate student in psychology. Students should tolerate greek housing By CHRIS PARRISH Appalachian Staff Writer This is a very controversial topic as denoted in a specific letter to the editor and a column.This is the sort of response to that letter and column but is more informative. Social fraternities and sororities consist of approximately 10 percent of this campus. Whether you like it or not, that is a great deal of students, not in­ cluding other greek letter organizations, such as business fraternities or honor so­ cieties. Also, the social greek system is grow­ ing every year at this university. Those individuals who grew up in a college town or transferred here can understand that the greek system at other schools is mammoth, much larger than it ishere, and they pay for it dearly. The greeks on this campus inhabit ap­ proximately 10 floors on campus, with two people to a room and 22 rooms per floor, at $600 per student pa semester (not including a meal plan). This equates to $264,000 per semester contributed by greeks for just rooms and not including greeks who live on other parts of campus. My point is in response to allegations of greek priority—well, itmay besuitable in some circumstances. The university, whether you think so or not, is a business, manufacturing educa­ tion, and they ultimately want to see a return on their investment The university has troubleenough filling all their rooms— yes, they do—they have many no shows etery semester. I do not think that kicking greeks off campus or limiting their exist­ ing "housing" is the solution to the pos­ sible (improbable) issueof incoming fresh­ men not getting room assignments. I be­ lieve there is some higher cause. Supposedly, there is land put aside for greek housing behind Broyhill Inn. This topic, however, will not be a priority until about 1994. Say for example, there should be greek housing available to those orga­ nizations who can afford it; the cost of a house would be at least in the S300,000s. For thegreeks on this campus whose dues per semester averageabout $200, this just does not cut it.Say also, that certain greek organizations can get a loan from their nationals or on their own, I would esti­ mate that dues per semester would jump up to anywhere between $700-$1,000.1, personally, think that off-campus greek housing at this school and at this point in time, would hurt the greek system. Some of you may care, others not, but my point is this; I encourage people to be more open-minded about this issue. The greek system is here. Whether it suits you or not, it is powerful, and it is growing. I think that greeks like to live amongst themselves for the same reason that any­ one else lives with their cronies: because they like to, and that is about it. It is not because any insecure need to fit in, or because, as some people say bluntly, "to buy your friends." I would hope that no one, greek or not, would live with somej one that they do not get along with or d<5 not like. It is absurd. Greeks really do many projects for this campus, this community, other commui nities and their individual philanthropies, more so than you think. I think people orj this campus should be more tolerant of each other. ! Readers respond to greek housing issue; Greeks have right to live together To the Editor: In a recent commentary article entitled "Greeks do not need more housing," there is incorrect information and unfounded reasoning. The article states that if the request to make Cone all greek "is granted, it is possible that entering freshmen at Appalachian will no longa be guaranteed housing." This is a ridiculous suggestion. The administration is well aware of the importance of freshmen living on campus and would always make space available for them. The article makes it sound like it is either the freshmen or the greeks, and that is not the case. The article states 'T think I can assume I'm not being stereotypical when I say if anyone on campus can afford an apartment, a student in a greek organization can." The writer of the article, Tracy Tarleton used as reasoning, if the greeks had money for $200-$300 dues and fees per semester, they had money for an apartment. First, I pay less than $200 a semester in dues. Secondly, I know greeks who are putting themselves through school and are not rolling in money like the article seemed to imply. Lastly, I know plenty of non-greeks who spend at least as much as I dc on dues on entertain­ ment and leisure activities. I do not think it is anyone else's business what I choose to spend my money on or what I can or cannot afford. Greeks are fortunate on this campus to have affordable dues. If students here had to pay high dues and fees like at other schools, a lot of students would not be able to afford to be in a greek organization. Greeks want to live together in order to foster spirit of community and establish stronger bonds. I have known non-greeks to informally do this by all living on the same floor again or moving into Winkler together. Therefore, it is natural for greeks to want to live with their brothers OT sisters. It is a tradition on most campuses for greeks to have a greek community. This is a rich tradition that should not be discarded. Greeks have contributed a lot to the university while here and give more proportionally than non-greeks as alumni. Greeks make a commitmoit to the university and in return the university makes one to them. Carmen K. Cox Alpha Phi ASU Box 13824 Workshop on racism to be held Sunday To the Editor: Many of us are appalled by the thought of Klan marches anywhere, let alone in Boone and Blowing Rock. Few of us, however, have been able to grow up totally uncontaminated by the racism in American society. Early experiences with racist thinking and conscious or unconscious racist actions have often left us feeling isolated from people of color and feeling powerless to change what we know is wrong. In spite of that background, with active effort we can think clearly about all aspects of this philosophy as the greeks: drink a lot of issue, and we can make a difference beer; get rowdy, then pass out. now and in the future.

The Baggett-McHale platform calls for the creation of a student leader cabinet to allow student involvement in faculty se­ lection and the improvement of ASU's recycling program. Their campaign slo­ gan is "The student, the government. . . the same." Baggett said he believes expansion of library resources is a major issue in the campaign. "We want to push even further to expand the resources," Baggett said. "We want to work for the students," Baggett said. "We have nothing to gain; we're art majors who love SGA. We're looking for a lot of input from students." An issue featured on last year's presi­ dent/vice presidental platform of Daryl Ghent and Reggie Murphy's was the need for student input in the university faculty search committees. "We don't want the administration choosing who is teaching us," Baggett said. McHale said she wants to see some of the work of the Ghent/Murphy cam­ paign continue, such as their idea to seat students on faculty search committees. Baggett-McHale advocate the need for more recycling on campus. Students are often discouraged from recycling, McHale said, relating an instance when a student observed an aluminum recycling barrel being emptied into the dumpster. McHale said she would work with the community to coordinate a communitywide recycling effort Baggett calls for no structural changes to SGA, but said he hopes to improve the application process for the executive and legislative branches. According to Ayers, in the spring of "0, the faculty-senate voted almost 2 to 't0 0PPose the construction of the SAC. Ayers said that in the spring of 1991, they v°ted unanimously against taking any By JOANNA EMMONS Appalachian Staff Writer money from student fees for the SAC. "Already, ASU has taken $1 million from student fees for the SAC, which may never be builO' said Ayers. "ASU needs many other things worse than it needs the SAC," said Ayers. "We could ask for the money to be applied to improve the library instead of building the proposed gymnasium." Ward Zimmerman, ASU vice chancel­ lor for business affairs, said the SAC and the administration building have already been approved by the state governing body. Zimmerman said both of these projects have been delayed along with other university projects. "These two state-funded projects (the SAC and theadministration building)were going along one step after another," said Zimmerman. "The state incurreddramatic shortfalls in revenue and delayed and then postponed all capital projects at the university level. I do not believe any politics were involved in delay ing or post­ poning the projects." The Journal reported that the universi­ ties and their alumni will lobby for the bill's revival before the General Assem­ bly meets in May. Cindy Poe, the president of the Council of University Alumni and a graduate of Appalachian, said that the council is wait­ ing to pour support behind any reasonable bond package because so many universi­ ties need major improvements, the Jour­ nal reported. Zimmerman said ASU is happy to support the bond in its entirety."I wouldn 't say that ASU has more than its fair share on the list. I wish ASU had more projects on the list," said Zimmerman. If the legislators decide to allow voters to vote on the bond, and if the bond is passed in November, the construction of the Student Activity Center and the ad­ ministration building will start immedi­ ately, according to Zimmerman. The proposed administration building will be located on Rivers Street and will consolidate several campus administra­ tive offices, including residence life, the registrar's office, and financial aid of­ fices. At least 90 percent of the buildings at ASU are named for men and women who helped in its founding and growth, ac­ cording to Dr. James Strom, vice chancel­ lor for university advancement. However, some of the remaining build­ ings, which are named after families who have donated money towards the advance­ ment of the university, include the Walker, Broyhill and Cannon families. "The naming of buildings after fami­ lies who have contributed a great deal of money to the university is to show appre­ ciation for their support," said Strom. More recently, there was controversy considering the change of the Carol G. Belk Library name to honor late Head University Librarian, Richard Barker, according to Beade Mitchell, acting codirector of the library, who helped peti­ tion for the name change. Barker died Dec. 16 from injuries he sustained in a Dec. 4 head-on three car collision on U.S. 421 East. Barker worked and helped to develop the Belk Library since 1956, becoming library director during the 1970's. Ac­ cording to Mitchell, the only problem with changing the library's name is that Carol Belk, whom the library is named after, is still living. The library staff is now looking into naming a reading room after Barker, Mitchell said. The only name of a facility that was changed to another is Kidd Brewer Sta­ dium, according to Strom.

SAC and administration building are on list A bill still on the table in the N.C. Senate calls for $18 million to be bor­ rowed for the construction of Appala­ chian State University's Student Activity Center and an administration building. The bill calls for $287 million to be tawed for 29 projects at the University ofNorth Carolina system's 16 schools. The system is signaling that it is willing lobe flexible about specific projects out­ lined in the construction-bond packagein order to attract state legislators, the Win­ ston-Salem Journal reported in a Feb. 14 article. The Journal reported that Jay M. Robinson, the system's vice president said that the main thing is to include something for each of the state's 16 cam­ puses to make the package appeal to vot­ ers in November. Robinson said that controversial projects or those that fall out of legisla­ te favor could be taken off the list, according to the Journal. ASU's proposedStudent ActivityCen­ to is an example. The cost of the SAC is estimated at $24 million. The bill calls for JR3 million to be borrowed for the SAC. Student fees and donations are planned to fake up the $14.5 million difference. Some Appalachian professors and stu­ dents have expressed opposition to the activity center. The Journal reported that •be opponents of the project contend the university has academic needs that are fore important, and the SAC would dis­ place several acres of forested hillside now used for environmental studies. HarvardG. Ayers,an Appalachian pro­ fessor and an opponent of the project, said •bai if ASU makes a big push for this, 'acuity and students will begin heavy "PPosition demonstrations because the C is so unrepresentative to university opinion. •Dan Gurley/Doug Duncan Gurley is SGA Director of State Af­ fairs, an off-campus senator, the delega­ tion leader to the UNC Association of Where does ASU seeks $18 million By TRACY WILUARD Assistant News Editor "I want to see a lot of changes in cabi­ net," McHale said."We want people who don't know each other, who will work together." Another Baggett-McHale goal is to build a clubhouse at State Farm field complete with bathroom and storage fa­ cilities. "We want to do all these things but at no additional cost to the student," McHale said. Stephanie Lineberry, whowas in charge of submitting the winning essay, added that "This just reiterates what we have believed for a long time—-that we have a top-notch program that does a lot for Appalachian." Special recognition should also go to the ASU Senior Committee, which is a sister organization to Ambassadors and was included in the judging, said Tracey Ford, assistant director of Alumni Af­ fairs, who serves as advisor to the student organization. "Even though the plaque will read 'ASU Ambassadors,' the Senior Committee is also a part of the SAA/SF, and its fundraising efforts were a key to us winning the award," said Ford. Appalachian Ambassadors are a group of 35 students who are dedicated to pro­ moting Appalachian, and do so by serv­ ing as a link between the university's alumni, friends, faculty, staff, student body and prospective students. Ambassador activities include provid­ ing daily campus tours to prospective students, hosting various alumni events, attending alumni rallies across the state, sponsoring on-campus program­ ming events such as Oozeball and Founders Day, various community ser­ vice projects, and serving as student rep­ resentatives of the university whenever called upon. The members of Ambassadors are cho­ sen based on communication skills, dedi­ cation to Appalachian and the organiza­ tion, and the ability to represent the uni­ versity and share his/her enthusiasm for Appalachian with others. Applications are currently being ac­ cepted for positions for the 1992-93 school year, and may be picked up in the Piemmons Student Union, or on the third floor of Founders Hall, during the week of March 16-20. Applications are due no later than Friday, March 20 at 5 p.m. The stadium, which was once called Conrad Stadium, was renamed because Conrad was not an athlete, Strom said. The decision was then made to transfer Conrad's name to the computer center, which is now Conrad Computer Center. Kidd Brewer's name was selected for the stadium due to his outstanding achieve­ ments as an ASU football coach, accord­ ing to Strom. The first buildings that were given names were mainly connected to the founders of the university and people who helped in the advancement of Appa­ lachian, said Robert Snead, executive as­ sistant to the chancellor. The Broyhill family has donated more than $1 million over a period of time to Appalachian. Both Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Broyhill attended Appalachian around 1915. They are the founders of Broyhill Furniture Industries. Many of the faculty have had buildings dedicated to them over the course of time, Strom said. Some of these faculty are A.R. Smith, J.T.C. Wright (Smith-Wright building), Robert Broome and John Kirk (Broome-Kirk gymnasium). State senators have also been recog­ nized for their help in the miking of Appalachian. White Hall, Justice Hall and Sanford Hall are all named after stale senators who have worked towards the betterment of Appalachian, Strom said.

I TVGurley-Duncanplatformis divided (jve sections: safety, student govemacademics, university environment I university pride. Their campaign js "Leadership for the building a better Appalachian.' »->j 1 Among some of the platform goals are: cancellation of afternoon classes the day before recognized school holidays and breaks, implementation of a"Dead Week" policy, requiring student representation on faculty and administrative search com­ mittees, and the construction of a support facility at State Farm Field. Our platform has been thoroughly re­ searched," Gurley said."Doug and I have spent countless hours talking with fxulty and adminstrators to be assured that our goals are realistic and can be achieved at minimal cost. We felt we needed specific ideas forour platform. They arenot vague, ambiguous generalities like platforms of the past." Gurley said he will seek to enhance student involvement in SGA. "Seventyfour percent of studentshave never worked with their senator or don't even know who their senator is,"Gurley said. "There needs to be broader communication be­ tween the student government and the student body." Other goals, aimed at broader commu­ nication, are to hold regular public fo­ rums, open to all students, to allow them to talk with the SGA president and vice president; to publish a weekly column in The Appalachian; and to attend at least one RSA meeting per residence hall per semester. The Gurley-Duncan ticket also advo­ cates a"Dead Week"policy which would prohibit professors from administering exams the week of classes before final exams. There would also be no social activities alio wed on campus for that week. Gurley and Duncan also hope to build on the Gheni/Murphy proposal to estab­ lish student representation on faculty search committees."This isan area which is lacking. We should have a voice in who is teaching us," Gurley said. The structure of SGA could also be changed to allow a redefinition of posi­ tions and committees, said Gurley.

"SGA should not react to situations, they should create situations," he said. •Cameron Roberts/Danny Bozart Roberts, a junior, was high school stu­ dent body president. He is a secondary education history major. Bozart is a junior psychology major. The Roberts-Bozart platform seeks to acquire more residence halls, liquor-bythe-drink, to allow private restauraunts access to sell their products on campus, a parking deck and to protest the building of the Student Activities Center. Their campaign theme is "Help us put the stu­ dent back in the Student Government Association." ASU students don't need the SAC be­ cause so few students frequent current activities at Varsity Gym, such as basket­ ball, said Roberts. "We need more academic buildings, housing, more library resources and com­ puter labs. What are we here for? Aca­ demics? Or for everyone to walk in gowns down an aisle?" Roberts questioned. While Roberts wants additional park­ ing for ASU, he said he wants to protect the environment. "We don't need to go the way of L.A., building out," he said. "We need more parking spaces but we need to build up." Roberts said he hopes to encourage the building of a parking deck. Another problem caused by the park­ ing situation is unfair fines and tickets, Roberts said. "They want to rip us off on tickets. We need better parking," he said. Roberts also said there is a need to change the existing pet policy in resi­ dence halls to allow larger fish tanks and mice and hamsters. "Pets help relieve stress," he said, adding that biology stu­ dents could learn from larger aquariums. "I will do what I say and mean what I say. I believe in student's rights," Roberts said. "These rights have declined over the past 10 years. We don't have a say." The Roberts-Bozart platform alsoseeks to allow private restaurants to compete with ASU food services by making the meal card a payment option at off-cam­ pus facilities. "I have been a waiter and I know how much stuff costs," Roberts said."They're (food services) making a killing. They don't care if we go hungry, they just want to make a profit." Students complain but don't vote (CPS)—A survey shows that collegeage voters are the least likely to vote, but have the highest expectations of govern­ ment Gregory Markus. a political science professor at the University of Michigan and a research scientist at the school's Institute for Social Research, bases that finding on a 1990 study the institute con­ ducted on U.S. political attitudes. The 1990 National Election Studies, one of the most comprehensive surveys on political beliefs in the country, noted that only 44 percentof people age 18to24 were registered to vote, and fewer than one in five reported voting in the Novem­ ber 1990 elections. Only one in eight reported following news about government and public af­ fairs "very closely"and 45 percent of 18to 24-year-olds said they "never" discuss politics with friends or family. "Many of them regard themselves solely as the clientele of government, unencumbered by any 'romantic' notions such as civic duty or societal obligation," Markus concluded. "In their conception of citizen as 'customer,' citizenship com­ prises obeying laws and paying taxes, period. In return, government provides services demanded by the 'customer.' " When compared to their older counter­ parts, the study showed that one in three Americans over the age of 34 follow government and publicaffairs very closely and that 79 percent of the same age group are registered to vote. Markus concluded that, "Older citi­ zens vote, while young ones, for the most part, do not The results are predictable. Two of the largest items in the national budget—Social Security and Medicare— are programs whose primary beneficia­ ries are the elderly." He adds, 'To be sure, there is no guar­ antee that if young Americans start voting in greater numbers governmental priori­ ties would change overnight. It is a virtual certainty, however, that unless the young take a more active role in determining who gets what, they will only get what's Wt" fr Save the Rainforests . ~ •• (fraud Opening The Market at Tr/'vette Hall March 23 thru March 29 Register to win doorprizes Drawings held daily $ Cash in on onr grand opening specials $ Product Samplings SERVICES Doorprizes — Sony AM-FM Digital Clock Radio — 48 qt.

March 19. 1992 hree-ring circus comes to Farthing Auditorium lorriegantt laJachian Staff Writer Whik Farthing Auditorium may not be l„ge enough to house the Barnum and jjjley Circus, the musical production of -gjrnum" will he performed on March 1411 Appalachian State University. And jiough i[ maynot ^ the circus itself, the tftformance features acrobats, fire eat^ trapeze artisLs and everybody's fa­ vorite the clowns. The performance begins at 8 p.m. in Farthing Auditorium and is made pos­ sible by the Office of Cultural Affairs' Major Performing Arts Series. Barnum" not only portrays the fun and excitement of "TheGreatest Show on Earth, the musical also tells the story of how it came to be through P.T. Bamum himself. Those who see the show will have the opportunity to become acquainted with this extraordinary man and to under­ stand why he thought entertainment was so imnnrtant. P.T. believed that everyone, no matter how common or simple, deserved the pleasure of wholesome amusement. Al­ though many of the acts that brought htm fame beforethe circus proved to be hoaxes, it was all in fun. "This is a trading world." he once wrote, "and men. women and children, whocannotlive on gravity alone, need something to satisfy their gaver. lighter moods and hours." P.T. Barnum was not always a circus showman. As a matter of fact, he did not become one until he passed the age of 60. Before the days of the Barnum and Bailey Circus. P.T. was a man of many faces He was a grocery store clerk, a lottery office conductor, the founder of the Her­ ald of Freedom newspaper, and a bit of a politician He married twice and had four daughters to his first wife, who died after 44 years of marriage. Aside from his newspaper, however. P.T. Bamum. was not very well known until he entered show business. It. 1842. at the age of 32. he bought the American Museum in New York City. During the 26 years that he filled the museum with freak shows, dramatic theatricals and beauty contests, he cre­ ated quite a stir and made a name for himself. After he moved on to the circus. P.T. Barnum.'s career really began to shine. P.T. Bamum was a colorful man. When he became ill at the age of 81. he asked a New Yorknewspaperiopublishhisobituary early so that he too could read and enjoy it. The newspaper did as he asked and two weeks later. P.T. died. Because of P.T. Bamum. children of all ages have a memorable and whole­ some form of entertainment. The Times of London could not have known how true their final tribute to him was when they printed this of P.T. Bamum: "He created the metier of showman on a grandiose scale.... He early realized that essential feature of a modem demo­ cracy, its readiness to be led to what will amuse and instruct it.... His name is a proverb already, and a proverb it will continue " ii Chinese Emperor takes stage Bv LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer Pec tPPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY'S YOUNG PEOPLE'S THEATER PRESENT "NIGHTINGALE:" The play, idapted from a Hans Christian Anderson story, is about a Chinese emperor who thinks happiness depends on material possessions. Cist members include (clockwise from top left) Darrell King. Snapper Morgan and Kelly Doherty. The I. G. Greer Arena Theatre will host the Appalachian State University's Young People's Theatre as they perform "Nightingale" March 19-21. The adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's classic story is presented in conjunction with the Department of The­ atre and Dance. Performances begin at 7 p.m. Thurs­ day and Friday with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. The award-winning "Nightingale" takes place in China. It's the tale of a Chinese Emperor who thinks his happi­ ness depends on all that he owns. Never satisfied, the emperor always wants more. His servant tries desperately to make him happy, even calling on the audience to help provide music for him thinking that perhaps music will soothe the soul of the master. Through the intervention of two Chi­ nese gods, the emperor loses al! of his material possessions. The gods also con­ veniently arrange for the servant to encounter a nightingale. The servant introduces the plain-look­ ing bird to his master, and through the song of the nightingale, an encounter with death, and help from the audience, the emperor learns he will never be happy until he has discovered the greatest trea­ sure in all China, the song in his own heart. This classic presentation is suitable for everyone and features authentic Chinesestyle costumes, makeup, dance and mu­ sic. There are six members of the cast in "Nightingale." Darrell King of Lincolnton is cast in the role of the emperor. Snapper Morgan of Charlotte plays the emperor's servant The nightingale and one of the Chinese gods are portrayed by Kelly Doherty of Raleigh. The other Chinese god as well as the role of death arc portrayed by Janet Trubey of Orlando. Fl. Georgia M. Sawyer of West Jefferson is the musician, and Andrew Lakin of High Point is the stage manager. The production of "Nightingale" will begin a seven-week tour of the show for the Young People's Theatre. "It's very rigorous, and it's not for everyone." said director Teresa Lee of the touring schedule for the company . The Young People's Theatre takes the theatrical performances to regional el­ ementary schools each vear. This year's production of "Nightin­ gale" marks the 20th anniversary for the program. Founded during the 1971-72 academic year, the Young People's Theatre has presented hundreds of performances to students throughout Western North Carolina. For instance, "Nightingale" will be seen by about 5,000 students in Ashe, Watauga, Catawba. Alexander, Henderson and Buncombe counties. Students in a production and perfor­ mance class are responsible for almost every aspect of the production. "They have to do everything," Lee said. "They make the sets and costumes, rehearse theplay, and takecare of makeup and props." In addition to acting, students also pack, transport and set up the play while on tour. Lee said. "When someone asks 'Why do this?" I respond 'You do it for the kids.' " Everyone is encouraged to see the pro­ duction. not only for the exceptional en­ tertainment and the inspiration of"Night­ ingale," but to support the Department of Theatre and Dance.

Vocalist John Popper said. "It got to the point where the law knew where we were going to play ir. Princeton before we plaved. They 'd hear us warming up and show up at the gig and bust all the underage kids." Renaming themselves"Blues Traveler" (after Gozer theTravelei. the most memo­ rable demon in the film "Gnostbusters";. the band relocated in New York after Popper enrolled in the New School.They jammed at the Wonderland Blues Bar and Dan Lynch's. where they immediately found themselves at odds with purist musicians and audiences."I don't think it was ever really blues, even though we tried to play blues," Popper said. The band ultimately landed a house band gig al Wetlands, and still continued to play compulsively at other Manhattan clubs, averaging 20 gigs a month. Blues Traveler's burning energy and the manic devotion of their fans ultimately captured the attention of A&M Records' A&R personnel, and the band was signed in late 1989. Although the group has recorded two albums in two years, studio work hasn't slowed down Blues Traveler's schedule: the band played 230 shows in the last year, opening for The Allman Brothers, Santana. Jerry Garcia, the Neville Brothers, Little Feat, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Youssou N'Dour and Hot Tuna. As al­ ways, the emphasis in Blues Traveler's live performances is on inspired improvi­ sation: as Popper notes, "Really good jamming is like a conversation, You're not saying words, you're saying feel­ ings." people's attraction to power and their success ir. achieving it.

The tavern-keeper's daughter Pegeer. idolizes Christy Manor, wno has mur­ dered a man and makes him into a super­ hero. "But when sne sees theviolence and reality of the deed," Pilkington said, "she becomes indignant and upset." As Mahon is flattered by those around him he becomes wnat the woric sees and begins to act the part. Only when he stops pretending does Mahon truly become a "playboy," or a mar. with power.

The Buccaneers, who captured their fourthconsecutive tournament title,scored ,77-69 victory over the Mountaineers in ihe semifinals of the tourney on March 7 in Asheville. The Bucs had defeated the Apps in the championship game of the previous two tournaments. ASU wound up the season with a 15-14 record. Appalachian led 33-32 at halftime and jailed just 42-40 in the second half, when what ASU Head Coach Tom Apke called the "crucial play of the game" transpired. ETSU senior forward Greg Dennis scored on a dunk to put the Bucs up46-40. As Dennis began to run up the court, he jot tangled up with ASU's Tim Powers, who appeared to swipe at Dennis' foot. Powers was whistled for the intentional foul, and Dennis sank both foul shots to give the Bucs a six-point lead. Rodney English then buried a short jumper from the right corner on the inbounds play to push the lead to eight. The six-point play ignited the Bucs, who then reeled off eight unanswered points to grab a 56-40 advantage with 11:37 to play. The lead grew to 20,63-43, at the 9:16 mark when Trazel Silvers banked in a layup. t The Mountaineers, sparked by the threepoint shooting of junior guard Billy Ross, then attempted a furious comeback. ASU went on an 11-1 burst to slice the lead to 64-54 with 6:42 remaining. Ross, playing like aman possessed, canned threestraight three-point shots in a one-minute stint during the comeback. Appalachian whittled the lead down to fivepoints, 66-61, when senior pointguard Rodney Peel converted a layup and a free throw at the 3:50 mark. The Bucs responded to the Apps' rally by running off seven straight points to take a 73-61 lead and dim any hopes the Mountaineers had of making their third straight championship appearance. Both Apke and ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce agreed that fatigue on ASU s part had an effect on the game. ASU had played the 9:30game on Friday, and had little more than 12 hours to recu­ perate for the semifinals. I think the fatigue factor of playing two games within 24 hours caught up with us," Apke said."It wasn't the differ­ ence in the game, however." "I give those guys credit after playing the late game Friday,"LeForce said. "Over 40 minutes we felt like we would wear them down." Ross finished with 20points to lead the Apps. Peel scored 15 points and handed out five assists. Tony Thompson added 14, and Steve Spurlock scored nine and grabbed 10 rebounds. Dennis paced the Bucs with 23 points, while Calvin Talford tallied 13. Apps whip WCU in opening round The Mountaineers broke open a tight contest in the second half and rolled to an 86-69 win over Western Carolina in the first round. "We emphasized three things coming in to the tournament," Apke said. "We wanted to work hard on transition de­ fense, getting back to eliminate the fast break. We wanted to take advantage of our rebounding superiority. We also wanted to execute on offense. "In the first half, I think we were com­ peting so hard that we weren't patient," Apke continued. "We regrouped at the half and did all threeof those things really well in the second half." "They came out in the second half and took the fight to us," Western Head Coach Greg Blatt said. "We didn't respond to their challenge." Appalachian, which led 38-36 at inter­ mission, started the second half with an 18-7 streak to break out to a 58-43 lead. Western Carolina cut the deficit to 60-53 when Robert Gaines hit a running onehander at the 8:54 mark, but could get no closer. ASU outscored the Catamounts 26-16 over the final eight minutes to run away with the contest. Ross drilled in 23 points, including four-of-seven three-pointers, to top the Mountaineers.

Mountaineer grapplers finish second to Mocs in SC tourney tppefo B By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The AppalachianState wrestling squad putup a tough fight in the Southern Con­ ference Tournament in Asheville on March 8, but the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga walked away with the championship. The Moccasins, who also captured the SCregular season title, finished with91.75 points. Appalachian came in right behind the Mocs, finishing second with a team total of 87 points. Virginia Military fin ished third with 62.5 points. The Citadel placed fifth with51 points, while Davidson rounded out the pack with four points. "We're definitely not pleased with fin­ ishing second," ASU Head Coach Paul Mance said. "Chattanooga was favored to win, but we thought we could win the tournament." The Mountaineers placed six grapplers in thechampionship round, andfour Apps captured titles. Emerging victorious for the Mountaineers were Donnell Rawls (118-pound weight class), Adrian Hines (150), Corey Creech (167) and Melvin Crosby (heavyweight). "We had six wrestlers in the finals, and we knew we had to win five," Mance said. "We won four of the five but lost the other one 3-2." Rawls picked up the first title for the Mountaineers by outpointing UTC's Ja­ son Laflin 6-1 in the 118-pound finals. Rawls, who won the Division II national championship last season at Winston-Sa­ lem State, improved his record to 29-0 with the win. Rawls entered the tourna­ ment ranked sixth in the country, while Laflin came in rated 12th. "Rawls did a great job. He dominated a very, very tough kid," Mance said. Hines pinned UTC's Mike Newman in just under five minutes for the 150-pound crown. Hines raised his record to 28-2 on the season. In the 167-pound category, Creech scored a tough 7-5 decision over Chattanooga's Brian Flint, the two-time defending Southern Conference cham­ pion. Creech improved to 24-5 on the season. Heavyweight Melvin Crosby captured Appalachian's final title of the night. Crosby, a mid-seasontransfer from Wilkes Community College, avenged his only loss of the season by downing The Cita­ dels' Sean Bagley 9-5. VMI's Brian Mason captured top hon­ ors in the 126-pound class. ASU's Brian McMillan finished third in the 126 class. Charlie Branch picked up the Keydets' second straight title by winning the 134pound category. Tennessee-Chattanooga then notched back-to-back victories, as Guy Harris emerged as the 142-pound champ and Howard Langford took the title in the 158-pound class. Mountaineer grapplers Victor Balmaceda and Bill Baker finished third in the 142 and 158- pound classes, respec­ tively. UTC's Bret Gustafson, ranked fourth in the nation, pinned ASU's Shomari Rozier in the 177-pound class, while Moc WaiTen Osbourn nipped Mountaineer Chris Sanders 3-2 at 190.

Mnrrh JO joo7 Two Apps named second-team all-tourne D. tlmi nrwn.* By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor The 1992 Southern Conference men's basketball tournament opened March 6 with a familiar team and result. East Ten­ nessee State started their run toward a fourth straight SC championship with an 89-55 destruction of The Citadel. The Buccaneers controlled the game from the start, going up 8-0 in the first four minutes, extending that lead to 22-7 by the second timeout of the half, and eventually heading into halftime with a 47-26 lead. The Bulldogs made a feeble attempt at a rally in the first two minutes of the second half, cutting the lead to 17 at 4932. The Bucs responded with a 21-0 run over the next 7:40, as the Bulldogs committed seven turnovers during that time. The 21-Doint sprint Kiv> ETSU 1 the The 21-point snrint by CTCII made .. score 70-32 and rendered the last 10 min­ utes of the ballgame useless. Rodney English led the Bucs with 16 points, Calvin Talford had 13 and Greg Dennis scored 12. The Citadel was led by Andre Harris who scored 15, all in the first half. More importantly, no ETSU starter played over 23 minutes, as Buccaneer Head Coach Alan LeForce was able to rest his regulars, something which paid dividends for ETSU the restof the tourna­ ment. The 89-55 drubbing also turned out to be the last game for The Citadel Head Coach Randy Nesbit, who was fired by the. school last week after guiding the Bulldogs to a 10-19 record. The second game of the first round featured Tennessee-Chattanooga and Vir­ ginia Military Institute. The MoccasinKeydet match-up turned out to be almost a carbon copy of the tourney's first game, as VMI proved to be no match for the superior athleticism and strength of UTC. The Keydets were never able to trim the lead under 10 points in the second half, as Threats connected on four threepointers and 15 points in the final 20 minutes to lead the Moccasins to an 84-49 win. The first game of the evening session of the opening round gave the tournament its first exciting, wire-to-wire contest It was also the tournament's only upset, as the sixth-seeded Marshall Thundering Herd surprised third-seeded Furman, 8376. Marshall, which entered the contest 621 and only 3-11 in the SC regular season race, used 25 points from Tyrone Phillips and 71 percent field goal shooting in the second half to stun the 17-11 Paladins, who swept Marshall in the regular season. I David Stamey led Furman with 27 points. On Saturday after ETSU had disposed of Appalachian State (see story), M arshall looked to make it two upsets in a row as they took on Tennessee-Chattanooga. However, the Mocs were prepared as UTC never trailed and led by as many as 17 before winning 84-68. Keith Nelson scored 18 and picked up 10 rebounds to lead UTC, while Phillips scored 23 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Marshall. After ETSU defeated UTC for the championship on Sunday (see story), the All-Tournament Team was announced. The champion Buccaneers placed three players on the first team, including tour­ nament MVP Greg Dennis. Also repre­ senting ETSU on the first team were Talford and Rodney. Kelly Sutton and Nelson, both from Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga rounded out the top five. Billy Ross and Steve Spurlock from Appalachian State received second-team honors.

Does today's education come outside classroom? Where do college students of the 1990s receive thebest education? Is it in the classroom or outside through involvement in extracurricular activities? Come to think of it, does the term extracurricular exist in the vocabulary of today's college students? Perhaps the politically correct term is co-curricular, and all out-of-class activities should be viewed as equally important as those in class. Apparently, Appalachian State's focus of an education is zeroing in on the extracurricular (or co-curricular) education. At least that appears to be the case with regards to campus construction. The last three buildings constructed on campus were the Quinn Center, the College of Business building and Trivette Hall. Two of the three added no classroom space. The Quinn Center serves as a recreational and fitness facility forweight training, aerobics, racquetball, basketball andjogging. Trivette Hall isadining facility which houses the Park Place Cafe, The Pizzeria,The Market and Food Service administrative offices. The College of Business building added classrooms. What's next on the agenda for campus construction? Last week, work began on a $9 million student union expansion project. This will add conference rooms, a weight room/aerobic facility, an expanded Sweet Shop, a modified gameroom and offices for numerous clubsand organizations. Again, extracur­ ricular (co-curricular) activities receive the funding. Upcoming for Appalachian? Well, currently a bill awaiting the North Carolina General Assembly lists Appalachian as desiring to borrow $18 million for two construction projects. One is a Student Activity Center, which will cost approximately $24 million, and the other is a new administration building which will consolidate several offices such as financial aid, registra­ tion and campus information. Again, extracurricular (co-curricular) and administrative functions receive the money. ASU's priorities are apparently focused on what administrators call cocurricular activities. Should the university give more attention to the strict academic needs of Appalachian students? Is more money needed for the actual curriculum, instead of the extra- (or co-) curriculum? An education at Appalachian is a blend of classroom and out-of-class functions. However, is the classroom portion being neglected while extracur­ ricular activities receive the majority of support? Do a new administration building and another weight room reflect the academ ic needs of ASU students? Or is the education of the '90s becoming one obtained away from traditional academic buildings, such as classrooms and libraries? THE FAR SIDE Will computers eliminate privacy? By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer In 1946, development and construction of the most influential modern machine was completed at the Univer­ sity of Pennsylvania. The Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer was the first electronic digital computer to come online. At the time, I am sure that none of its designers could foresee the way the world would change as this new technology was developed. The ENIAC's electronic successors got smaller and faster, and program­ mers found more and more complex ways to manipulate all kinds of information. Today's computers can become massive data crunchers by linking with bigger and better computers through satellites, radio waves and telephone lines. This capability gives even today's least complex computers massive information-gathering powers. Today's computers do something never before pos­ sible: they retrieve colossal amounts of information and they don't forget—computer memories are eternal. Com­ puters possess no morals, no ethics and no compassion. They faithfully perform whatever task a programmer assigns them until they complete that task. In concert, those two facts scare me. Every day, a computer somewhere gathers more infor­ mation on each and everyone of us. To really understand the true scope of the computer information world, you must understand what the computers know about each of us: our names, addresses and telephone numbers; our school grades and extracurricular activities; our occupa­ tions, income and work schedules; our drivingrecords and our medical records, too. Lists of the library books we have checked out in the past, what magazines we sub­ Do not satisfy Klan hunger for hate By MATTHEW MCNANEY Appalachian Staff Writer The Ku Klux Klan is trying to get a marching date on Easter in Boone. As this date draws near,I've heard many students say they would attend the parade to scream and curse. I've even heard one person say he'd throw rocks. It's amazing how much hatred an organization of malice can cre­ ate in others. The KKK has changed its image, ac­ cording to spokespersons. Gone are the days when the Klan killed four commu­ nists in Greensboro. Forgotten are the lynchings that continued into the '70s. We have a new KKK on our hands, one that has a presidential candidate whom some take seriously. It says it is not a party who hates, but rather a party that preaches white power and strength.It has even gone so far to call itself the NAAWP. This is why they now appear peaceful when they march. They don't, however, mention whether they will preach togetherness with Caucasian, Jews and homosexuals. I have seen KKK marches on televi­ sion. Marchers walk quietly down the street while hundreds of people, black and white, scream at them. The KKK is calm and the protesters' faces turn red and purple. While the police guard the block­ ades from disruptions and arrest those who are violent, the KKK march without reciprocating the behavior that they re­ ceive. Think carefully about this. The KKK is an organization of hate, yet today it acts peacefully. Meanwhile, those who support peace and oppose the Ku Klux Klan attend marches only to scream with brutality and hatred.We don't even realize that we are falling right into their hands. The KKK are hard-headed, but not stupid. They know what they are march­ ing into, but they recognize that as long as there are people who take them seriously enough to attend their march, they have a need to continue. Protestors don'tevendenttheir beliefs. Their hunger is hate, and violent protests satisfy it. They see protestors as the igno­ rance that needs to be overcome. They also hope to influence those who see the KKK as peaceful underdogs being at­ tacked by a mob. This is how they gain membership and power. Think about the reason you are going out to see them. Are you really showing your strong convictions against the KKK, or do you just want to be seen screaming with everyone else so you won't be called a bigot? Have you ever written against the KICK or joined a peaceful organization to counteract their practices, or do you feel that an appearance at a parade will ab­ solve you? Ask yourself if you are truly going to support the African-Americans, Jews, Asians, homosexuals and Native Americans on campus, or if you're going to feel good about yourself. My solution? Don't go. Hate comes in so many different forms and packages, we need to make sure we don't attend to any of them. If you know someone that is going, urge him or her not to. If you want to do more, then ask businesses on the march route to close down temporarily during the march or join the peace march. Imagine the KKK parade which no one attends. They will walk in silence know­ ing that no one in Boone takes them or their message seriously enough to watch them. Their purpose will be defeated. Isn't that what we want in the first place?

It seems there are certain people who find enjoyment at the expense of others. An example which anyone who has afternoon classes in Sanford can identify with is that of those certain "cool" people who blast music from their dorm rooms at East Residence Hall. Perhaps they hope to impress some unseen audience. We definitely are not impressed, only annoyed. I will briefly mention other personal experiences with those belonging to that group of ignorant, self-centered individuals whose only function is to amuse themselves while disgusting the rest of us.

Tony Wyatt ASU Box 6025 Librarians express thanks to seniors To the Editor: We would like to express our thanks to the 1991-92 senior class for awarding their class gift to the library. We are pleased and impressed with the seniors' commitment to improving Appalachian's educational resources for current and future students, faculty and staff. In April, a reception for the senior class donors will be held in Belk Library; specific details will be announced later, but we look forward to displaying some of the books that will already have been added to the library collection as early fruits of the seniors' contributions. Sincerely, W. Bede Mitchell Myrna McCallister Co-Acting University Librarians But more to my point here, it simply would not occur to these same students that they should be cajoled and entertained into learning. Such an MTV concept of education is an almost exclusively American phenomenon and a fairly recent one at that, having begun with the flower children of the late '60s. Anyone who sincerely wants to improve our educational system—or the economy, for that matter—can do what the author of this half-baked diatribe did not do: stop whining and get to work. Alice's Restaurant is closed. Ron Coulthard English Department Teachers do not need to entertain students Reader questions To the Editor: I was struck by this statement in "Enthusiasm missing from education today," a Feb. 27 article in The Appalachian blaming all the ills of modem education on senile professors who don't make school fun: "Japan, Germany, England and many other countries around the world are outcompeting the United States in all types of technological trades." I'll bet that almost all Japanese and German students know that England is experiencing an even deeper recession than our current Reagan-Bush slump, and that England hasn't been a world economic power for almost a century now. ASU postal service To the Editor I am concerned that the campus post office is charging students for intracampus, student-to-student mail. Why does this occur? I know that at another UNC system school (UNC Greens­ boro), that campus' contract postal station does not charge for student-tostudent mail. Departments can send students mail at no charge. Why are A.S.U. students denied this same privilege—and we pay fees to attend school? To me this is hot right. Can something be done to look into this? M. G.

"RAPE," it's a word spoken in a soft whisper- But usually the word "rape" is „g(spoken at all. Still, it's there. • statistics show a majority of women j few men will experience rape or a (axual assault in their lifetimes. But very few people talk about rape, and less than 10 percent of the victims report the crimes. According to "A Berkley Scholar Clashes with Feminists Over Validity of Their Research on Date Rape" from the Feb. 26 issue of"The Chronicle of Higher Education," one problem with the few reports of rape is in its definition. Women who have been raped by people they know usually don't call it rape, be­ cause they think only a stranger can be a rapist, according to the article. "A rape is a rape," said Director of Women's Studies Melissa Barth. "Be­ cause 90 percent of the time no physical abuse is evident on the outside, people have ahard time accepting a violent crime has been committed," Barth added. ASU Junior Sandy Feutz believes rape is taken too lightly. "Rape is a very seri­ ous offense,"said Feutz. "People need to recognize the seriousness of rape." "Seventy-five percent of women will be assaulted in one way or another," said Barth."We lead ourselves into think­ ing that it only happens to others. There's no target group, though. You can be ugly, beautiful, black, white or green." The majority of students asked about their feelings of rape didn't see a big problem, but still used precautions. "The reports on campus say there's nothing to worry about," explained stu­ dent Shauna Roman. "But it's kind of dangerous to not becautious or prepared." "Walking from the library at night I feel safe, because1 only live five minutes away and it's well lit," added Roman. "But I still carry mace for a sense of security," she added. "I ride my bike at night, because I don't like to walk alone," said student Christy Harris."I don't feel safe walking alone on campus, so before I got my bike I carried mace." Dr. Howard Nixon, chairperson of the Sociology Department said he has found that men and women students see the issue of rape differently. From discus­ sions in class. Nixon believes the main cause of rape is a lack of communicating in relationships and failing to communi­ cate expectations. Barth argues that the emphasis on the woman being careful and taking preven­ tive measures is a very wrong distribution of responsibility. "Women should not be responsible for policing men's behav­ ior," said Barth. "Rape is a crime of anger, but it's usually the victim who is guilty until proven innocent." "I worry about it and take precautions," said Victoria Roman, "but I'm not going to be a prisoner in my room. I don't want to live in fear of doing something as simple as walking across campus." "As long as we treat rape, especially acquaintance rape, as a shameful prob­ lem," added Barth, "Ninety percent of the rapes will not be reported."

Anti-Gay statement plunges university into turmoil, divides campus (CPS)—A football coach's statement homosexuality is "an abomination of Almighty God" has angered the Univers"y °f Colorado president and divided the camPus about the limits of free speech. The flap started when popular Coach •11 McCartney, a fundamentalist Chris'"A called a news conferenceon campus 10 express his support for a campaign to toow out a state law that protects gay ""n and lesbians from discrimination in using and hiring. McCartney is on the board of advisers 0 Colorado for Family Values, a group that wants to stop "militant homosexual and lesbian activists from undermining Colorado's family values" by gaining protected legal status. Since the press conference, five dem­ onstrations have beat held on campus, the office of President Judith Albino has been picketed and more than 50 letters have flooded the office of the University of Colorado Daily, the school newspaper. "The campus is divided," said Clint Talbot, managing editor of the Colorado Daily. "Thereare hundreds of people who are upset about what the coach said." Others, however, support the coach's right to free speech though he is in a highly visible position at the university, Talbot said. "A lot of people don't expect intellec­ tual acumen from a football coach," he said. "But do you lose your right to free speech if you hold a public position?" Albino, who became president last May, said in a written statement that McCartney, or "Coach Mac" as he is known on cam­ pus, would not be punished because he "did not intend to imply university en­ dorsement of the Colorado for Family Values organization when he was identi­ fied in the group's advisory board listing as CU's head football coach." Albino promised in her inaugural speech to promote "greater cultural and ethnic diversity not because it is politi­ cally correct, but because it is right." The president has met with the coach twice "to clarify her expectations" of the coach's future behavior,said Pauline Hale, director of public relations. "She (Albino) is very upset over what has happened. She feels the coach has the right of free speech, but not while he is representing the university," Hale said. In his most recent statement, McCartney said, "While I personally share the values held by the Colorado for Family Values organization, I have never intended my involvement to imply any endorsement of the group or its activities by the Univer­ sity of Colorado. "I regret any misunderstanding caused by the use of my job title on the organization's materials," the coach added. McCartney has been the center of con­ troversy at Colorado for many years. • In 1984, the American Civil Liberties Union obtained acourt order that stopped the coach from forcing his players to say prayers before games.

Second, you do not have to be drunk to be an impaired driver, said a BACCHUS pamphlet distributed by the Wellness Center. One or two drinks can affect your driving. Third, people should take their turn being the designated driver to get every­ one where they want to go safely, the pamphlet added. Respectotherpeople'srightnot to drink and choose not to if you would like, the pamphlet advised, adding that plenty of fun can be had without alcohol being involved. Fourth, do not let your friends drive impaired, and remember that your best protection against an impaired driver is your seatbelt, said the pamphlet. Last, when your friends drink exces­ sively to the point of passing out, be sure to stay with them, and make sure they sleep on their sides.Check their breathing regularly, and seek medical attention if you are concerned. The Wellness and Stress Management Center is sponsoring a Safe Spring Break table outside of the student union or in The Pub, depending on the weather on Wednesday, March 4. At the table, students can sign a pledge card not to drink and drive over spring break and register for a grand prize draw'ing fpr a Chrysler car or jeep.

The Pep Band has maintained a reputa­ tion for being an excellent supporter of the basketball team. The band gets the crowd into the game with their music, cheers, jokes, signs and all of the noise that makes a good game great. Among the wide selections of music played by the Pep Band are: "Rockin' Robin," "In The Stone," "Hey Baby," "School's Out," "I Can See For Miles, 'Let's Go Blue" and music from the most popular Marching Moun­ taineer show this year, "The Blues Brothers." In addition to these pieces are the ASU Band's signature tunes "Brass Roots," "Carolina in the Morning" and 'Tennes­ see Waltz." In addition to performing at all home games, a delegation of members will be attending the Southern Conference Bas­ ketball Tournament. This select ensemble will include 11 trumpets, six trombones. five mellophones, four baritones, three tubas and four saxophones. Although the performance of any kind of music requires attention and thought, the purpose of the Pep Band is to support the team and entertain the crowd. Saxophone player Richard Sprecker said, "This was a very good year for the Pep Band. We have a strong and spirited group, wideinstrumentation, and we have a lot of fun." "In addition, we have played some good music this year. Being in the Pep Band is like being a cheerleader because we both have the same job of keeping spirits high and entertaining the crowd. All of the work pays off, though, when the basketball team slam dunks a ball or wins a game with a last-second threepointer." The director of the Pep Band is Charles Crabbe, an alumnus of Appalachian and Assistant Band Director for the Marching Mountaineers. Play is successful Dramatic Summer A modern interpretation of Shakespeare By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer The Acting Company performed Wil­ liam Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in Farthing Auditorium on Tuesday. The company describes its perfor­ mances as unique. One thing is for sure; this production of the comedy was in­ jected with a fresh originality that left the audience both enthralled and amused. The play was an orgy of song, dance, laughter and seduction. Minor adaptationsby thecompany were probably blasphemy to Shakespearean purists, but made the play more acces­ sible to modern viewers. The play used modem costumes and props: an umbrella, flashlights, a duffel bag and black army boots. One character read Tuesday's is­ sue of The Appalachian. Some of the songs sang by the characters were "Blue Moon" and "Strangers in the Night." The play's plot centered around love •id lust. A mystical allure was created by tragical and playful fairies. They cast love spells on characters, weaving a com­ plex web of lust, conflict and comedy. They once even made a woman fall in love with a jackass.They shed thecharac­ ters of their clothing, leaving them to chase each other around in their under­ wear. The stage was filled with halfnaked, intertwined bodies. The majority of the play's comic relief came from an acting troupe composed of laborers and craftsmen. Twice, when they catered the stage, they wereaccompanied by an instrumental version of the whimsi­ cal Beatles song "Life Goes On." The play culminated in the last act when this acting troupe performed a play for the three royal couples of Athens. The actors played the roles of aman, a woman, a lion, a wall and the moon. The woman was played by a male actor, resulting in a Carol Bumette-like whine. The troupe's play was so horrible, with its over-acting, that it was immensely funny to the royal couples and the audi­ ence. As the troupe performs, the royal couples are heard cracking jokes about the play's antics. As the play opens the wall speaks. Later comes the time for the male and femalecharacters to kiss, through a hole in the wall. The man said, "O, kiss me through the holeof this vile wall ."The woman character, played by a man, takes a long pause and looks at the audience with a look of anxiety, dreading kissing another man. When they exchange the peck, the woman said, "I kiss the wall's hole, not your lips at all." The Acting Company's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" ended with thunderous applause, whistles and a standing ovation. The actors were all so talented and well-prepared that it would be difficult to single anyone out as outstanding or weak; they were all good. Details of stage business, such as reac­ tions and actions of the characters not speaking, wereexecu ted though tful ly and naturally. The singing talent of most of the actors was also apparent. The productionof this enchanting com­ edy acted as areminder that Shakespeare's works are enduring and universal. Even without the modernization of some props and details, the play's theme of blind love, in the absence of reason, is a topic most audiences would find understand­ able and appealing. The Acting Company was the launch­ ing pad for many actors' careers, includ­ ing Kevin Kline,Patti LuPone, Lisa Banes and Megan Gallagher. Special to the Appalachian Photo by Mono GorcxMtzki A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM: Oberon the King of the Fairies (Jonathan Earl Peck, standing), and his enthusiastic but mischievous servant Puck (Jeffrey Wright, sitting) survey the horizon for signs of the approaching dawn in The Acting Company's production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," directed by the esteemed Irish director Joe Dowling. Symphonic Band strikes common chord with audience By MEKEL ROGERS Appalachian Staff Writer Tonight the AppalachianState UniverSymphonic Band will perform its Brat concert of the spring semester. The band, consisting of over 50 talwt<xl musicians, is considered one of the roost acclaimed ensembles in the School °f Music. Slty TWs year the Symphonic Band has revised its requirements. An audition is now used to determine membership roto the ensemble. In the past, auditions Vere used only to determine seating. As a result, the improved Symphonic Band has been able to tackle more complex and challenging musical pro­ grams. The repertoire for this performance includes "March of the Belgium Para­ troopers," "Third Suite" by Robert Jager, "A Maritime Overture" by John Ireland and "Ballet Sacra"by David R.Holsinger. "Jazz Concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Band" will feature Dr.William A. Gora, Ray Hutcherson, Shannon Stone and Jerry Cain as the members of the quartet. Trombone player Josh Sox said, "I like most of the pieces that we're doing, but 'Ballet Sacra' is my favorite because it makes good use of every instrument in the ensemble. There is even a section where the ensemble sings a chant-like passage in Latin. In addition, the rhythms in the piece are so complex that timing is much more intricate and takes a great deal of concentration in order to keep up." The director of the Symphonic Band is Dr. Joe Brashier. Brashier has been with the ASU Band program for several years and in addition to the Symphonic Band, he directs the Marching Mountaineers and handles School of Music Internships in student teaching. Brashier is very dedicated to exposing the Symphonic Band to newer and more challenging experiences. Much higher goals and expectations have been set for every member of the ensemble. Brashier expects the audience to be impressed at the Symphonic Band's rapid improve­ ment Flutist Shannon Thomas said, "This semester, because of the new audition requirements, the Symphonic Band has a higher percentage of music majors in its membership. In the past, the ensemble has had an almost equal ratio of music majors to non-music majors. The new audition policy has enabled the band to attempt moretechnically adv anced music and has improved our performance qual­ ity." The concert will be held in the Rosen Concert Hall in Broyhill Music Center at 8 p.m. Thursday night. The Symphonic Band will also be per­ forming during the Contemporary Music Festival to be held the last week of April which is sponsored by the brothers of Rti Mu Alpha.

Pantera is back on the charts with a heavy metal sound Band releases lyrically strong "Vulgar Display of Power" as a powerful follow-up to debut album CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Vulgar Display of Power" is the sec^ release from Pantera. This album Packs anger and aggression from beginr"J1£ 10 end. Each and every song deals some topic that is a cause of frustra«nor anger. "Vulgar Display of Power" arder and more angry than Pantera's ebut release, "Cowboys from Hell." P°n hearing its debut release, I was ^ instant Pantera fan. This is an honest ^®nd that is not afraid to deal with controrosial issues and deliver powerful, emo°nal music. Pantera's music lies between hard-core thrash and is full of energy. The honesty of this band shows through in the lyrics; they hold nothing back. Philip Anselmo's scowling lead vocals drive each song along with some excel­ lent guitar work by Diamond Darrell. Darrell is very creative with his riffs, and his solos are incredible. The foundation of Pantera's music is laid by Vinnie Paul on drums and Rex on bass. The music is relentless. Pantera contin­ ued its hard-core assault with this album and refused to change. The combi­ nation of excellent lyrics on this album as well as the relentless music is one that should not be overlooked by metal fans. The first single and video from the album is "Mouth for War." The song "He's a pretty cool person who lets the band have a lot of fun. Of course he will tell us if he thinks we're getting a little rowdy, but he keeps us focused on our job to support the team." said trumpet player Christopher Poor. The ASU Pep Band's membership is not limited to music majors. It allows anyone who can play an instrument used in the band to join. The band is present at all home games every basketball season; so come out and help them support our athletes. dares anyone to challenge the band's determination and will to succeed. The song hassome excellent changesthrough­ out. A few songs on the album are sure to arouse controversy if they are misunder­ stood. "Rise" is a song that deals with our nation's history of ignorance when deal­ ing with certain groups of people and cultures. "No Good (Attack The Radical)" con­ fronts racism from a white anti-racial point of view. This is an excellent song dealing with a sensitive topic. The song is basically asking people to stop living in the past. Both of these songs are calling for a type of revolution because of our country's past ignorances. A couple of songs on this album deal with individuality, something feared to be almost extinct throughout most of so­ ciety."Regular People(Conceit)" talksof standing in the mirror practicing to be like someone else. Regular people would find it hard to be themselves. "Walk" also lashes out at those who can't be themselves and, therefore, force themselves on others. "Be yourself/ By yourself/ Stay away from me"is a sample of the lyrics. The majority of the album has a per­ sonal side to it, showing people and their problems. The anger expressed over people's problems and ignorances is ex­ pressed in the music. Two of the songs deal with love, both dealing with a different type of love. "This Love" deals with the pains of love and the suffering it can cause. It deals with love gone bad. "Hollow" is a song about a friend who is in a coma. The song shows the pain and distress over someone who was so close but is now so far away. The lyrics show confusion while the music is peaceful and then builds ir.to anger and frustration. "Vulgar Display of Power" has no weak point. It is an excellent album for the metal fan. Pantera is also an excellent band live. They recently opened for Skid Row in Charlotte, and they gave an incredible show. They love their audience and fans, and it shows in their performances. Try to check out Pantera, one of the few remaining honest bands. Some of the nation's most exciting summer theatre employment opportuni­ ties exist far from the major population centers. They are with the country's out­ door historical dramas. From "Cry Of The Wild" on Kodiak Island, Alaska to "The Lost Colony" on Roanoke Island, these original plays, based on actual events and performed where the events took place, now number more than 70 nation­ wide. Each summer some 4,500 actors, singers, dancers and technicians, most of whom are college or university students, find jobs in outdoor drama. On Saturday, March 21, 12 outdoor historical dramas from six states will be on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill auditioning col­ lege and university student performers and technicians for summer jobs. The auditions, sponsored by the Institute of Outdoor Drama, are open to anyone 18 years of age with previous theatre train­ ing or experience. Outdoor historical drama is rich in op­ portunities, for the performer and techni­ cian alike. Stunt and combat profession­ als train and rehearse actors whose safety depends on intense concentration, me­ ticulous blocking and rigorous rehearsal. Pyrotechnicians, artificers trained to handle period weaponry and explosives, horseback riders and wranglers, fight di­ rectors, historians and speech consultants are among those contributing special ex­ pertise to productions. The design, instal­ lation and maintenance of sophisticated equipment for sound, voice reinforce­ ment, special effects and lighting all re­ quire a skilled staff and state-of-the-art technology. Outdoor theatre offers performers and technicians the opportunity to use and expand theatre skills in an unconven­ tional theatre environment. Being part of a large-cast, long-run production provides invaluable experience. The outdoor amphitheatre, with its requirements of vocal and physical projection, challenges the performer trained in traditional the­ atre to discover new limits. Competing for the attention of the au­ dience with tree frogs, heat lightning and that bane of the outdoor theatre, the sud­ den summer storm, are all part of a night's work! The outdoor setting also poses a unique set of technical problems for which imaginative, creative solutions must be found. In some outdoor dramas, the setting itself plays a major role. At the Waterside Theatre on Roanoke Island in North Caro­ lina, tlie audience at "The Lost Colony" looks over the stage and out to sea, watch­ ing with the actors for ships from En­ gland. At Ohio's "Trumpet In The Land," the church is set ablaze;and'Tecumseh!" battle scenes are staged on horseback in the surrounding forest Employment in an outdoor drama re­ quires a nine to 12 week commitment including two weeks of rehearsal and eight tolO weeks of performances. Com­ panies may offer additional productions, experimental theatre and workshops, children's theatre productions and col­ lege credit programs. Some of the major companies offer subsidized or paid hous­ ing, or will assist in locating housing for company members. The Institute of Outdoor Drama spon­ sors the only combined auditions in the country specifically designed to bring outdoor historical dramas and talented performers and technicians together. "Actors present a one-minute prepared monologue and may offer another at call­ back interviews. Singers are asked to pre­ pare one song, with a one-minute time limit.

Often, all the pre-game hype, anticipation and emotion can leave a team, its fans and its community feeling deflated after a loss to a top rival. So it is no hard task to figure out the disappointment that Mountaineer basketball players, coaches, fans and, yes, even I, felt after ASU dropped its ninth straight decision to the despised East Tennessee State Buccaneers and their gaggle of fans from the hills and factories of Johnson City, Tenn. Appalachian's leading scorer and junior swingman Billy Ross said after the game that the 70-63 loss was the most frustrating moment he had ever spent on a basketball court. It was, indeed, a sad time. It was sad not only because the Apps lost to ETSU, but because it was the Apps' 13th loss of the year, a year that was supposed to be a banner season for Appalachian but ended up being a hohum 14-13 affair. It was also the last game in Varsity Gym for seniors Rodney Peel, Tim Powers and Steve Spurlock, three of the most storied players in ASU basketball history. In the midst of all this gloom, however, I saw something that made me come back to reality. It was a scene that made me remember that basketball is, after all, just a game. Moreover, it is a fun game, a game to be excited about and happy about, not a game to fret over or cry over. I At one end of the court, fobr boys, no older than 10, were shooting baskets with a plastic cup. These youngsters, still fairly new to the game, were playing two-on-two with a cup. They dove on the floor for loose balls—uh, cups, blocked shots, and generally showed the kind of reckless enthusiasm for the game that I'm sure first attracted Peel, Powers, Spurlock, Ross and the rest of the Mountaineers to the sport when they were around the same age. I They, unlike the rest of the older and supposed-wiser fans that were still frowning, ,didn't realize, understand or probably even care about the magnitude of this latest ASU loss. One of the boys, who was taller than the other three, blocked a shot, grabbed the rebound, then whipped a behind-the-back, no-look pass to his teammate for an easy layup. He was wearing glasses, and he had a nice left hand, better than a lot of high school players as a matter of fact. a >o ASU faces tough road in tourney 15.

Lady Apps go after third straight crown By LYDIA E.

Reigning tournament champions, the Lady Apps will open play on Marchl2, seeded fourth against the fifth-seeded Lady Bucs of East Tennessee State. Appalachian has defeated ETSU in its prior two meetings this season by 10 and two points respec­ tively. ASU Assistant Coach Barbie Breedlove is con­ fident about the ETSU game. "We know that it is going to be tough. We should win, but it will be a real battle because we will be playing in front of even play our best. We want to gel to Furman bad. their home crowd.

There was, and still is, fear among ASU backers that the Mountaineers will not be able to shake off the effects of the loss this weekend in Asheville at the Southern Conference Tourna"tent. It would be a shame, especially for this team, if ASU winds up playing poorly in Asheville. By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer There is enough talent present to win the tourney.

The Apps expect to battle top-seed Tennessee-Chattanooga for the league title. The Appalachian State wrestling team will com­ plete in the Southern Conference Tournament on Sunday, March 8, in Asheville. The Mountaineers have had excellent results in the 20 years that they have competed in the Southem Conference. The Apps have taken seven con­ secutive second-place finishes, have taken the run­ ner-up trophy in 10 of the last 11 seasons, and won the 1983-84 league tide. In the past 19 Southern Conference Champion­ ships, the Mountaineers have one league title, 13 runner-up trophies, three third-place finishes, one fourth spot ranking and a sixth place ending. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance has directed the Moun­ taineer wresders to the one league championship in which the squad has not finished below second place in a dozen years. The ASU wresding team has had a successful season. They have only lost three matches this year, and only one of those losses came inside the conference. Twoof those losses have been to ACC powers North Carolina State and Clemson. The one conference loss was to University of Tennes­ see at Chattanooga. Although ASU lost to Chattanooga, the match was on UTC's home turf, and Appalachian State was lacking two of its leading wrestlers. The Southem Conference match between ASU and Chatta­ nooga will be an intense match with the odds being in favor of both of these talented teams. Appalachian has a "50/50 chance" of walking away with the tournament crown, according to Coach Mance. Mance also believes that the cham­ pionship title will depjend on "whatever team has the most luck this weekend." In the past decade, Appalachian's biggest com­ petitor has been UTC in the Southern Conference Championships. The results of each of the matches have always been "based on one or two little things," Mance said. It has often even "come down to the very last few seconds," Mance continued. "We've had many exciting tournaments." When asked about his own personal v ie ws on the match, Mance feels that the experts will probably favorTennessee-Chattanooga. But Mance believes that Appalachian is just as good as, if not better than, Chatanooga. Mance stated, "1 feel in my heart, we're the better team." The tournament will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Sun­ day in the Asheville Civic Center, which will also serve as the site for the Southern Conference Bas­ ketball Tournament. Mountaineers absent from all-conference team Appalachian Staff Reports Despite a 9-5 record and a third-place finish in the Southern Conference regular-season race, Appalachian State placed no members on the all-conference team, announced earlier this week. "I'm disappointed because I thought we had several players who merited consideration," ASU Head CoachTom Apke said. "But that's something that's outof our hands. Hopefully, we can play well at the Southern ConferenceTournament and pirove our guys deserved some recognition." Three players, each from conference co-cham­ pions East Tennessee State and Tennessee-Chatta­ nooga, were picked for the 11 -man squad. Furman, which tied the Mountaineers for third in the league standings, placed two members on the team, as did seventh-seed Virginia Military Institute. Senior guard Terry Boyd of Western Carolina was named the conference player of the year and spiear-headed the first team. The 6'2" Boyd led the conference in scoring with a 23.1 clip, despite missing several games due to an injury. Senior forward Keith Nelson and junior point guard Tim Brooks represented the co-champ UTC Moccasins on the first-team squad. Nelson averaged nearly 17 points a contest on the season and was the league's number one rebounder, averaging nearly nine boards a game. Brooks made an impact in his rookie season in the conference. The transfer from Sullivan Busi­ ness College established himself as one of the finest guards in the conference by averaging 14.4 pjoints. Brooks also led the loop in assists and swipjed a league-high 2.9 steals per contest. Rounding out the All-SC first team were for­ ward Rodney English and guard Calvin Talford of East Tennessee State. English, a 6'4" native of Denmark, S.C., aver­ ted nearly 17.8pxrintsand7.4rebounds an outing. Talford tallied 17.5 px>ints a contest and was the league's top marksman at the free throw line, drilling 88 percent of his free throws. The second team consisted of Bruce Evans and Hal Henderson of Furman, ETSU's Greg Den­ nis, Levert Threats of UTC and VMl's Jonathan Penn and Lewis Preston, who tied for the final S|X)t. UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy was tabbed as the league's coach of the year, while Marshall freshman Malik High tower was chosen as the SC's top freshman.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of South African Archbishop Desmund Tutu, spoke Thursday, Feb. 27, in a nearly-empty Farthing Auditorium. Fewer than 100 people came and were sparsely distributed throughout the site's 1,800 seats. Less than 100 people is less than 1 percent of ASU's student body. Does this mean that less than 1 percent of the students here are here to receive an education? Tutu's visit was part of the Major Forum Series sponsored by the Office of Cultural Affairs. The office provides the campus with speakers to enhance the overall education of ASU's students. Each year, the university brings these speakers to campus to share perspec­ tives on a variety of issues affecting the lives of all Americans. Topics reflect sxial concerns, current events, trends for the future, schools of thought and other relevant attitudes and issues. Each presentation offers one person's opinion on an issue of concern. The series allowseach memberof the audience the chance toabsorb the information a/id then to form an opinion about it. Is this not what education is about—reaching informed decisions on imporlant topics? Last week's presentation was an opportunity to gain a global perspective on cultural diversity and global economics. Tutu shared her views on a problem ofintemational concern; she explained the situation in her native South Africa. Tutu's visit was financed by you, the student, as a portion of your student fees ay for these programs. Therefore, you have already paid for the educational opportunity available to you. S houldn' t you have taken advantage of the money you have already spent? This money was spent wisely, as Cultural Affairs selected important speakers for the series. By not attending, you are not wisely laking advantage of your expenditures. The Major Forum Series will bring three more speakers to campus before the end of the semester. Take advantage of these offerings and enhance your overall education at Appalachian. On April 1, Boris Natkin will present "Global Perspectives on Politics" on April 14, a Greenpeace representative will speak on "Global Perspectives on die Environment," and on April 28, Mark LaRochelle will discuss "Global Perspectives on Animal Rights."

Books suppork us in our solitude and keep us from being a burden to ourselves. —Jeremy Collier By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor A request was recently introduced to provide more oncampus housing for greek organizations. The reasons used to justify the request were to fosteT brother/sister­ hood by living together in the same residence hall and lack of available off-campus facilities to house entire greek organizations. My freshman and sophomore years, only one resi­ dence hall on campus was designated greek—Cannon Residence Hall. This year, however, one additional hall. Cone Residence Hall, was made greek. Cone was for­ merly an all-male residence hall. All-male residence halls are a dying species on the ASU campus, and changing Cone to a greek hall added to this problem. Juniors and seniors, do you remember what it was like trying to get into a residence hall for this year?If you were lucky, you were one of the first 150 names on the waiting list and were guaranteed an assignment, but just weren't told immediately what the assignment would be. Aver­ age people started out in the 300's on the waiting list, then moved to the 200's as the waiting list was updated, then finally found out sometime during the summer what the assignment would be, if they had the patience to stay on the list that long. The Office of Residence Life recognized the problem and improved on it. The application process started much earlier this year. Those of us who won't be guaranteed housing for next year will know immediately after spring break exactly where we stand on the waiting list. Last year we didn't know until April. However, this doesn't eliminate the primary reason juniors and seniors had more trouble getting housing last year than ever before. Housing is in short supply on the ASU campus. When Cone Residence Hall was desig­ nated greek, it caused that much more of a shortage. Now the greeks want the remaining two non-greek floors in Cone. If this request is granted, it is possible that entering freshmen at Appalachian will no longer be ment, a student in a greek organization can.

CollKsE KSTils S#CKSS IS JtiST Mow THE OofflR! «1I TUt lllfltHt Distnouted by Tnoune Media Services for a year. I swore I'd never live there again until I realized the costs. I got into a house this year and the costs have almost doubled. For a two-bedroom, two-bath house the rent is S575 a month. Granted, there are some cheaper than that, but they are few and far between so that you have to really jump in order to be one of the lucky ones. It seems like for any type of hookup, installation or service, there is a deposit or fee required. It costs quite a bit of money to move in anywhere because of all these. There is a deposit to get electricity hooked up of around $80. the fee for a new phone line is S45 (which is a matter of punching a few keys on a computer), as well as water fees and deposits. Plus if you don't have electric heat, you must pay cash or leave a deposit for oil or propane. It can cost between S500-S 1,000 just to get up here and settled in before classes even start. Seeing that we students are plowing all this money into our living arrange­ ments, why are we faced with landlords who fight for every penny of our deposit when we bust our buns to steam clean the carpet and scrub the apart­ ments from head to toe before we move out? And why are we limited to one-year leases when the management compa­ nies know most of us don't go to summer school? Most say it's simply practical business, but I don't think so. I call it taking advantage of college students who haven't yet learned the ropes. I have also lived away from home in Orlando and could sign a lease for as long or short as I wanfd. What makes Boone's rules different? I know most of these practices are simply good business practice, but it does seem like there are a few here who are making quite a bit of money in the process. Another question I have is aimed at some of the locals from Boone. In A&P the other day I overheard a couple of men talking and heard a comment to the effect of "It must be one of them college kids." They were talking about a car driving too fast. That seems to be the general attitude of the people in Boone. I could be wrong, but what would this town be without us college kids? I don't think the leaves and seasonal tourism are enough to keep this town prosperous. The economy is bad enough as it is. We plow so much money into this economy, I think we should be loved. I know the police love us! We are one of their prime sources of income. Do all police have time to arrest someone for looking at milk crates? Well, it happened to me my freshman year behind Harris Teeter. I ended up paying $200 for a lawyer and paying $100 to perform community service. Not bad for a night out on the town! Yes, I was going to take them, but I hadn't yet. And also, why are we subject to constant harassment driving tlirough town, being pulled at will? I don't want any drunks on the road either, but I do believe in a person's rights. You shouldn't get pulled simply because you are doing the speed limit and that looks suspicious. I am also of the understanding that New River Power and Light is owned by ASU. It is a little perplexing to me that they service most of the areas where college students live, while Blue Ridge Electric services some of the other areas. It is even more perplexing that the charge for power with NRP&L seems to mysteriously rise over Christmas Break then return to normal when all the students come back. I had a power bill for $90 the Christmas I went home in '89. When my roommate and 1 left, we turned off every breaker except the refrigerator. I called the power company, and all I got was an excuse that they estimated and they were sorry. Needless tosay I was livid, but I couldn't do anything about it but pay the bill or lose power! Recently I had to fill our propane tank for the third time this winter. It cost SI60 for 100 gallons. I haven't done any comparing, but do I have a choice? The only other way to heat our house-is with kerosene, and that isn't the best for the lungs and costs almost as much. Plus Suburban Propane has a monopoly in Boone. I thought that was illegal! I want things to change in this town. Why isn't there any student representa­ tion for what goes on? Votes and "public meetings" are always kept quiet, or I don't ever hear about them. This paper should become more involved with the town and help students become more aware of what is going on around here because it affects every one of us. We are adults who have the right to vote and make decisions. This paper is read by thousands ofstudents as well as faculty and residents of this town who work at the school. The 15,000 residents (or more) who are affiliated with this school need to be made aware and considered in the politics and policies being implemented. The Appalachian can be an important medium. Most of the students here are bright individuals and should be treated as such. Let's see a few more controver­ sial articles and not be afraid to print something that not everyone wants to hear. This is a free country. Let's not be told how to live. We have to be taken into consideration, and we have to be able to have an active voice in decision making. Students, be warned, this is a tough town. There are no free lunches around, and you shouldn't expect any. Be careful in the decisions you make, and don't be afraid to say no to a raw deal because they aren't always as pretty as they look! Craig Robertson ASU Box 6990 Psychology professor corrects discrepancy To the Editor: In the recent lead article entitled "Myers-Briggs Testing Sparks 'Controversy" the article states that "ASU psychology department faculty are questioning the Myers-Briggs..." The use of the word "are" implies more than one faculty and yet Dr. Tmavsky is the only faculty member quoted in the article. I would not usually bother to point out an en or of this son, but I do not believe it is any secret on this campus that the psychology faculty are a very diverse group with many diverse views. I would not wish to have readers left with the impression that Dr. Tmavsky's views are necessarily shared by all members or even a majority of members of the psychology faculty. Eric J. Hatch, D.Ed.

Tutu skimmed over her speech title, "Global Perspectives of Economics."She claimed that she was not an expert in the field of economics, a subject which she slid often forgets the people behind the numbers. "It's easy to forget that the people are flesh and blood," Tutu said. Instead, Tutu focused on racial con­ flicts in South Africa and the United States' recent promotion of isolationism. Tutu said that over time she has come appreciate the proverb's message, which she called "a basis of all ties for human beings." Oppressed because of her race in the ipartheid-ridden country of South Af­ rica, Tutu said it was not easy to under­ stand how her white oppressors werehurt­ ing themselves by controlling the blacks md maintaining their dominance. "You can not degradate others without degradating yourself," Tutu said. When a person has more power, it is easy for them to take advantage of others, but with power comes responsibility, Tutu said. "Being the oldest (most powerful), it is easy to take. But you have not simply injured your siblings(the less powerful), but you have harmed yourself also." "We are all bound to each other in many amazing ways. We can only learn to be human by our contact with other people," Tutu added. Tutu said that white South Africans have encountered many problems due to their insistence to maintain their total dominance over the country's power struc­ ture. Fear has caused white South Africans to keep guns in their houses, and that same fear is killing their children, Tutu said. She noted that the newspapers con­ stantly cover stories about white children who are killed when playing with loaded handguns at home. Tutu gave another problem created by white South African's fear: the white men's fear of being inadequate to protect their families, causing them to kill their entire families. Tutu said the fear of the Black Tide was so great, the white men found it preferable to kill their families rather than them being killed by others. "Those who may seem to have all the power may suffer from the use or misuse of that power. We are all tied up in each other's destiny," Tutu said. "Putting America First," which has been spurred by the economic recession, ap­ pears in various forms of media, encour­ aging citizens to buy American made products. However, Tutu sees this turn toward isolationism as a mistake and pointed out that World War II and Adolf Hitler caused the United States to come out of isolation before. "You can not ignore what goes on in the rest of the world.11does have an effect on the inside of this country (the U.S.). While we may definitely need you, you definitely need us," Tutu said. In a 25-minute question and answer session. Tutu addressed economic sanc­ tions, pointing out the accomplishments of the United States' past attempt to stop apartheid. Tutu said she believed that the sanc­ tions helped bring white leaders to the negotiating table with black leaders and See TUTU page 2 F OREIGN SPEAKER CITES PHILOSOPHY: Naomi Tutu, daughter of South African Archbishop Desmund Tutu, spoke at Farthing Auditorium on Feb. 27.

Five teams file to run for SGA president and vice president By RANDALL REENINK Appalachian Staff Writer Five teams have filed to run for SGA president and vice president this year. Candidates had until noon last Friday to declare their intentions. "Chip" Baggett, the chief Judicial Advocate, has filed to run for presi^t. His running mate is the current SGA Public Affairs Director, Terie McHale. Frank Cantrell, a junior business ma­ jor, also filed to run for SGA president. Cantrell was a senator from Cone Resi­ dence Hall his sophomoreyear. Sophmore Christina Miller will be his running mate. Miller is currently on the A.P.P.S. execu­ tive board. Director of State Affairs, Dan Gurley, will run for president with the Chair­ man of the Student Affairs Com­ mittee Doug Duncan running for vice president. Off-campus senators, Michael Miller and Dwayne Washington, have also filed to run. Juniors Cameron Roberts and Daniel Bozart will also share a ballot. Candidates for the office of president and vice president must meet several cri­ teria. Candidates must be full-time stu­ dents at ASU, be at least a junior when they take office and hold at least a 2.25 GPA. "Usually the candidates are senators and SGA cabinet members," said Randy Yelton, chief of staff for current SGA president, Daryl Ghent. However, being in the SGA is not a prerequsite to running for office. The possibility of someone winning a write-in campaign also exists. "The stu­ dent judicial branch would have settled something like that," said Yelton. "But the judicial branch has been dissolved. The senate would have to create a process (to resolve that situation)." By signing the candidacy declaration form, candidates agree to adhere to the rules and regulations pertaining to the election process. Those rules are found in the election by-laws of the senate. Some of the rules include no negative cam­ paigning and putting posters in certain areas. Senate law says that campaigns are not allowed to start until after Spring Break. "They can start one minute after midnight after break, if they want to," said Yelton. The SGA has planned two events for the candidates to meet the student body. First, a debate will be held in Legends on March 18. The debate is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. Secondly, on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 25, an informal meeting will be held on Sanford Mall. Students are invited to meet the candidates and to ask questions. Current SGA vice president Reggie Murphy will be the master of ceremonies for the event. The election dales this year will be March 25 and 26 in the student union for off-campus students and March 26 in the residence halls for on-campus students. Gardner against tuition increase By LISA MULUKIN Appalachian Copy Editor this NE'* STACKS TUITION INCREASE: Current Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner, who is also a N.C. gubernatorial candidate in Chi/631 S addressed a group of ASU student leaders Friday. Gardner adamantly renounced the state legislator's plan to 8e students out-of-state tuition who take more than four years to graduate. education. To do this, said Gardner, the curriculum in public schools should be changed. North Carolina Lt. Governor Jim Gardner told student leaders Friday he is against charging students who take longer than four years to graduate out-of-state tuition. "That is a bad idea, and in my opinion, will not fly in the General Assembly," Gardner said during a conference with students in the D. D. Doughtery Admin­ istration Building. "Whoever advocates that type of thing doesn't understand the make-up of the student bodies we have at our universities." Students, Gardner said, find it difficult to combine family responsibilities, jobs and different curriculums with achieving an education and graduating in four years. He believes students should be encour­ aged to stay in the university system and graduate and not be penalized after four years. Gardner said the state should encour­ age more students to go on to higher Gardner mentioned two possible changes. "First of all, enable them (students) to do better on SAT scores and, second of all, to be able to cut down remedial train­ ing that is costing a lot of money." Gardner also supports the Teaching Fellows program. These teachers are our only chance to save young students who have no parental involvement and come from a bad environment, Gardner said. "If we're going to change the problems in our society, we've got to do it through education," Gardner said. Gardner addressed another concern among students: the lack of funding for the library. According to Dawn Barker, SGA academic affairs chairperson, li­ brary resources increase between 8 to 15 percent annually, but state allocations for the library have not kept pace. In addition, the library is fourth on an administration list of important projects. Barker said. Gardner said the problem lies in an "antiquated system" used to prepare the state's $8 million budget. "Instead of basing (the budget)on solid fact, they guess at what it's going to be," Gardner said. "They guess what growth rate we're going to have next year with our economy, and they' vehad a very poor record of guessing what it's going to be." With this method, the General Assem­ bly overspends the actual tax income, which results in shortfalls, leaving little money for the library. Gardner favors a zero-based budget to cut excess spending in which each program isev aluated yearly to see if it achieved its purpose. If not, the program would be restructured. Gardner also said a priority system for education is needed. He cited an example of the lack of priorities for education: the construction of the new $35 million De­ partment of Public Instruction Office building in Raleigh when ASU does not have an adequate library. "The bottom line is that there's enough money in that S8 million budget to take See GARDNER page 2 ASG discusses proposed fifth-year tuition increase and election guidelines J^JRACY WILUARD News Editor University of North Carolina As°n of Student Governments met ^Chapel Hill to discuss the state 5fth >tUre S P'811 10 increase tuition for ^ ^eai college students, according to urley, director of state affairs for •chian s student government. jp'^SG is an association that has " .^^jives from all 16 University of North Carolina system schools. It meets monthly atits general administration head­ quarters in Chapel Hill. The state legislature's plan would charge students out-of-state tuition after their fourth year at state-supported col­ leges, if they do not graduate within four years. At the February meeting, the Board of Governors went on record as 100 per­ cent against any tuition increase, accord­ ing to Gurley. The legislature is expected to take action on this plan when it goes into short session in late May, according to Gurley. Another item discussed at the meeting was a request by the Board of Governors for S15 million in additional funds. "The reason the Board of Governors asked for this extra money is because revenue is running slightly ahead of pro­ jections," said Gurley. At the session in May, the Board of Governors will have a request ready for a S300 million bond referendum to be used for projects on all 16 campuses. "The legislature will have to go from committee to full legislature to be passed. If the legislature passes the referendum, it will be on the ballot for voters to decide in the November general election," said Gurley. Representatives at the ASG meeting also discussed the possibility of creating some type of uniformity within the UNC system for student body president and vice president elections. According to Gurley, this discussion will be continued at the next ASG meeting this month. "The reason this is being discussed is because the length of campaign time var­ ies from school to school," said Gurley. "At ASU campaigning is confined until after spring break, and it can only run for a week and a half followed by two day s of elections." The ASG is considering establish­ ing guidelines for student governments for another reason: the amount of money allotted to be spent varies. In some cases, there is no limit on spending money. Gurley said the spending cap at ASU is $500per ticket, with an additional $150 if a run-off is required. "The ASG isn't trying to meddle in campus elections. There is a sound reason behind this," said Gurley. "Each student body president of each 16 schools sits on that university's boardof trustees, and the general assembly delegates to the Board of Governors the power to regulate the indiv idual board of trustees at each school. Some uniformity within the election pro­ cess is desired for that reason." �The Appalachian Tttcsdn^ \[arrh ?

Another student concern that Gardner addressed was his plan for financial sup­ port for in-state students. Citing the lack of savings from past years and other demands for tax dollars, Gardner said, "I think it's going to be very, very hard, unlesssomething changes, to maintain our current level of support." Gardner said he hopes the business community will offer the financial sup­ port the state may not. The state's public school system is not preparing students for higher education or the work force, said Gardner.

Across from Farmers Hardware 262-0200 �3 et cetera THE APPALACHIAN TUESDAY, March 3,1992 Outdoor Programs designs new event By CHRISTY LOHR Appalachian Staff Writer Student Programs, in affiliation with Appalachian's Outdoor Educational Council, has created an interesting new opportunity for the university's students: Appalachian Leadership School Outdoors. The main emphasis of this pro­ gram is to improve students' leadership potential and personal efficiency. ALSO, developed by Out­ door Programs, uses the wilderness as a tool in a four-day exercise to create more effective campus leaders. Based on the Outward Bound experience, the program forces participants to work together and, individually, to gain a better understanding of the need for cooperation and leadership in any organi­ zation. Dave Roberston and Joe Quinn, creators of ALSO, hope that the program will complement students' academic preparaton as well. Students should come away from the four days with more than just enhanced administrative skills. ALSO will begin with a half-day workshop in which participants will be tested using the MyersBrigg Type Indicator. Following this, in May, students will participate in a four-day camping trip involving hiking, rock climbing and a culminating solo experience. These things will allow students to surpass any limitations they have placed on themselves that would prevent them from becom­ ing effective leaders. One lactic of the program is to increase the participants' self-esteem through physical challenges. The students will carry this confidence into their leadership positions on cam­ pus. The program is scheduled for Thursday, May 14 through Sunday, May 17, and is open to Appala­ chian undergraduates with a cumulative GPA of 25 and a minimum of 15 hours. These students are expected to return to ASU full-time in the 92-93 academic year and use their newly developed lead­ ership skills in the Appalachiancommunity through recognized university organizations. Ten students will be chosen to attend and will be accompanied by two to three instructors and one faculty member. Selection will be based on appli­ cation materials and a short interview by the Appa­ lachian Outdoor Education Council. Applications can be obtained weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Outdoor Programs, 715 Rivers Street, or from the Office of Student Programs, room 204 of the Plemmons Student Union, and must be returned by March 27, 1992. There is no fee for the program. Participants will reassemble in the fall to evaluate the experience for future programs. Recycling Bin Boone fights for landmark ByCANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor Spring Break is close, and once we get through the millions of mid-terms, take-home exams, papers and pages of dull non-fiction, we cm relax in a week's worth of non-school relaxed nothing. Last year my fearless comrades and I visited Ihe Daytona Beach scene with the rest of the Harley Davidson convention—its big 50th umiversary. Everything that could go wrong with our cars, did. When it wasn't raining, we were afraid to step outside of our room for fear of the hairy men in black T-shirts. By ALLISON KAY BRIDEN Appalachian Staff Writer Nonetheless, we had an incredible time. It took all of our will power not to buy tacky fluorescent memoirs to store away so we would remember our adventures one day. My point is that you can have a wonderful time with friends or even by yourself on break, regardless of what you do. I've thought of some imaginative plans for nudents to embark on instead of beaching the break, getting really drunk, and picking up questionable characters of the opposite sex. Don't deny it—this pastime is a popular one unong the ages of 15-? However, at some point in our lives, we simply don't have the funds to take a hotel/pool/beach vacation. If the cash flow sends you home to Mom and Dad, there are still many options. The prerequisite to the following activity is Ihe knowledge of guitar playing. Take a hat and i guitar, wear shorts for the faux beach tan, carry i coffee cup and sit on a main street playing tunes with the hat covering your face (in case your grandmother walks by). Maybe you'll earn money instead of spending it. Or you may get lirge rotten pieces of garden debris thrown in your general direction. Open your own 1-900-976-want-to-hear-agood-time number for a week. I'm not sure how you would go about opening one for just a week, but talk to the advertising managers of Jay Leno ot Divid Letterman. Go to the mall and play in the perfume. Make your ex-boyfriend's spring break miserable. Cancel his plane ticket home and CTedit card. For other ideas refer to this month's Cosmo." This idea is a tiny bit immature and should only be used discreetly for vengeful females leaving the country shortly. If it rains, find a large puddle and name it Walden's pond. Take a seat, wear shorts(for that fen), and read Dr. Seuss books. Throw a late Mardi Gras party so everyone can dress up and then throw up. Plant a tree and watch it grow. Attempt to cycle to the beach, and see how far you get. I only advise this to masochists who like 'be smell of Bengay and who like putting their bodies through hell.

Spelunking expedition offers underground adventure By USA MULLIKIN Appalachian Copy Editor Want to become a walking mud puddle? Go spelunking. Spelunking is actually cave exploration. Out­ door Programs sponsors caving trips throughout the year with added trips in November and Febru­ ary. For S10, a student is given caving gear to wear on the trip, a picnic lunch, transportation to the cave and two certified caving instructors. Outdoor Programs sponsors caving trips to four different caves. Before each trip they get permis­ sion to beon the private property the cave is located on. Each cave is different in structure and length; however, caves keep a relatively constant tempera­ ture of 55 degrees Fahrenheit year round. Take a survey on the recession, and send the ^ t0 Bush. This is the easiest task so far: ^ 0 ^ Tmd a summer job. need for cash during break, just imagina- R ^il°r S nole: w a sophomore from majoring in English education. Caves were formed from a limestone vein mil­ lions of years ago. Caves in this area were created when the continental plates hit to form the Appala­ chian mountains. Water came through the rocks and wore out the cave. People go caving for many different reasons: the challenge, the curiosity or just to get dirty. "I thought we were going to walk around the cave, but we crawled on our hands and knees through mud," said spelunker Robert Love. "I wanted to go caving, because I want­ ed to experience all the mountain activities be­ fore I leave in May," said caver Mark Burkey. "I hope to do many more outdoor programs this year." People don't have to be in perfect physical condition to spelunk. but it makes the trip more enjoyable. While caves themselves are not very long, climbing and crawling are important aspects of caving. A total of208 people have participated in caving trips this year, making Outdoor Programs' spe­ lunking program one of the largest in the country, said Bain Gill, program coordinator for Outdoor Programs. "You're going to a protected environment that few people get to see or understand," said Gill. "There are also many beautiful mineral forma­ tions." While safety is aconcern among many first-time spelunkers, Gill said Outdoor Programs places safety first. Caving instructors participate in a staff training course in which the emphasis is on the prevention of problems. Instructors carry three sources of light into the cave, make sure partici­ pants wear sturdy boots, only go to familiar caves and keep track of how long the group is in the cave, said Gill. "We try to teach people cave safety," Gill said. "If you do something that was safe and fun, you'll want to do it again." Outdoor Programsprovides spelunkers with hard hats with lights attached. Hiking boots with good traction are recommended since the cave floor is made up of mud and rocks, and old clothes are usually wom since they will become covered in mud. The National Spelunking Society is a group that gets together to explore different caves. The group is safety and ecologically conscious. A spelunking motto Gill recommends to all cave explorers is to "take only pictures, leave only footprints, and kill only time."

Grandfather Mountain is in danger of being developed. Tracts of land now privately owned are under consideration for sale. Construction on 300 acres of land may be imminent. John Williams and Hugh Morton, owners of the Wilmor Tract, which is classified by the Nature Conservancy as having "global ecological impor­ tance," are considering developing the tract. Ad­ jacent to the Wilmor Tract is the McLean Tract, which a local group is attempting to protect from similar plans. Friends of Grandfather Mountain, originally formed in 1988 to cam­ paign against develop­ ment of 1,200 acres of land on Grandfather Mountain, is making ef­ forts to purchase the threatened areas. GrandfatherMountain is a valuable area to the community as a tourist attraction and as a unique natural area. The Stale Heritage Program and the Nature Conservancy have both collected scientific evidence in surveys on the Wilmor Tract. Included in the findings was the presence of five critically endangered species and 20 state endangered spe­ cies of flora and fauna. Friends of Grandfather Mountain states its cur­ rent goal is to protect, by any legal means, the entire threatened 1,500 acres. This area comprises a unique, fragile and essential ecosystem that would be destroyed by any development. The group hopes to be able to purchase the land and allow use of it as a wildlife sanctuary and a nature education preserve. Miles Tager, executive director of the group, believes an agreement can be reached between the conservationists and owners on a price for the land, but the aid of federal groups such as the Audobon Society or the Nature Conser­ vancy may be needed. If not, Tager said legal action would be taken and support would be called for by the community to pressure the owneis. Until a decision is reached, the group will continue its daily activities of raising awareness and funds. John Meacham, an Appalachian State stu­ dent, worked at Grand­ father Mountain this past summer as a ranger. Meacham became famil­ iar with the area through his work in trail main­ tenance, building, pa­ trolling and checking hiking and climbing permits. He agrees that the area is unique, "like an island of unique plant life," where the altitude permits growth of fauna similar to that found in a Canadian forest. Meacham's reaction to the possibility of development to the area is that it would be a shame, and he "would hate to see the Shanty Spring Trail wiped out." If the land in consideration were developed, this trail would be lost. About 15-20 miles of trails are in the Grandfather Mountain area. The development would threaten not only exist­ ing trails but also the unique and endangered spe­ cies of plants and animals living there. gional. The ski team undoubtedly deserves this recogni­ tion. The members have struggled through many practices and stressful races to achieve their goals. Coached by Juan Olivieri, the team began prac­ ticing on dry land several months before the slopes opened. Conditioning, strength and agility were emphasized to prepare members for the demand­ ing practices and races on the snow. When the actual ski team season arrived, the team began practicing at Beech Mountain twice a week for several hours. A combination of free skiing and drills made up the practices, as well as running the actual gates. To qualify for the team, members must have a 2.0 grade point average and must take 12 credit hours per semester. No racing experience is re­ quired. The ASU ski team races in the southerndivision. They compete against suchschools as Lees McRae, North Carolina State University, Duke, the Uni­ versity of Tennessee and the University of the South. Appalachian and Lees McRae have a slight advantage over the other schools because of the easier access to the local resorts. One of the main problems the team faces is the lack of school funding. Since it is considered a club sport instead of a varsity sport, members must rely on their own fundraising to pay for coaching fees and other expenses. To raise money, the team participates in "Laps for Apps," sells raffle tickets, and runs Appalachian's annual swap shop. The swap shop, which usually takes place betw een late November See SKI page 4 SKI TEAM: Pictured are the Southeastern Conference Champions of 1992.

The ASU ski team is highly unacknowl­ edged. Many studentsdon't realize what a successful team Appalachian has.

Lady Mountaineers fall 78-73 at Furman in season-ending tilt By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Lady Mountaineer basketBall team lost to Furman on Friday, Feb. 28. by a final score of 78 - 73. The Lady Mountaineers have con­ cluded the regular season and finished with a 9-17 overall record. Appalachian Slate wound up the conference slate with •5-5 league mark. Appalachian is now fourth in theSouthem Conference. The Lady Mountaineers could have clinched the third-place spot in the league with a victory over the Lady Paladins. Head Coach Linda Robinson de­ scribed the first half of the game as "nip and tuck." Forward Regina Ikard, the second leading scorer for Appalachian, and forward Jeanne Coker played only 10 minutes of the game because they each picked up three fouls early in the first half. The first half ended with the Lady Paladins owning a 40-35 lead over the Lady Mountaineers.. The Lady Apps were plagued by poor field goal shooting in the first half, as they connected on just 39 percent of their at­ tempts from the floor. Furman also struggled in the first half, as the Lady Paladinsonly sank 45 percent of their field goal attempts.

Apfitltchitn Photo by Keith Jeckeon FRUSTRATING DAY FOR THE APPS: ASU senior point guard Rodney Peel glides to the basket during Saturday's game against East Tennessee Slate. The Buccaneers scored a 70-63 triumph over the Mountaineers. If Appalachian State's men's basket­ ball team had to use one word to describe its feelings following Saturday's 70-63 loss to arch-rival East Tennessee State, it would undoubtedly be frustration. Frustration over losing to the Bucca­ neers for the ninth straight time. Frustra­ tion over losing five games in the confer­ ence and 13 games overall this season, the same season that was billed in preseason as potentially the best ever for ASU bas­ ketball. Frustration over the fact that Calvin Talford, the athletic senior guard from East Tennessee State, was not only able to play Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last Monday, but actually ended up being the late-game hero for the Bucs, making five-of-six free throws in the final 33 seconds to seal ASU's doom. So frustrating was Saturday's loss, that Mountaineer Head Coach Tom Apke and his players were unanimous: that one key play could have turned the tide in Appalachian's favor. With the Apps trailing 61-58, ASU's Rodney Peel and Jeff Williams trapped Talford near the midcourt line. Peel reached around and knocked the ball away from Talford then scooped it up and went in for what appeared to be an easy breakaway 1ayup. Talford, however, man­ aged to close in on Peel and bothered his shot just enough to cause the miss. Wil­ liams missed the tap follow and ETSU cleared away the rebound. When the dust settled, ETSU's Jason Niblett was shooting two free throws, Appalachian forward Ricky Nedd had picked up his fifth foul, and, after Niblett made both free throws, the Buccaneers owned a five-point lead with 1:32 to play. "I saw him (Talford) coming, so I tried to keep him from going over my back and blocking the shot," Peel said of the criti­ cal breakaway. "I felt a little nudge in my back and thought I was fouled, but it wasn'tmy call to make. The refereedidn't think it was afoul, so I don't guess it was." ETSU, thanks' in part to ASU's is turnovers and poor offensive execution, got off to an early 13-4 lead five minutes into the contest The Mountaineers an­ swered with a 10-4 run to trim the lead to 17-14 at the 9:49 mark, but that would be as close as Appalachian would get in the first half. ASU (14-13, 9-5) twice went longer than two minutes without scoring, as the Bucs went on to lead by as many as 14 before heading into the locker room with a 34-24 advantage. "For us, I thought we were so pumped and had so much emotion early in the game we just couldn't do anything offen­ sively," Apke said after the game. In the second half, the Mountaineers were able to keep the Bucs from going on one of their trademark runs, and kept the deficit between six and 11 points before finally cuttu.g the ETSU lead to single digits for good when Billy Ross scooped one in off the board to make the score 5748 with over seven minutes remaining. Ross went to the line after getting fouled by Rodney English on the play and missed the free throw, but therebound was tipped « to Tony Thompson, who drilled a 15-foot jump shot to pull the Apps within seven. From there, the Mountaineers went on an 8-4 run over the next five minutes to make the score 61-58 and set up Peel's fast break attempt. "I'm proud of the way we fought back and thought we did a lot of neat things in the second half," Apke said. "The story qf the game from our standpoint was missed opportunities. The play of the game was Rodney's breakaway where he slowed down to try and draw the foul." After the missed breakaway, the Bucs (21-6, 12-2) began their foul line odyssey, making nine-of-12 free throws in the final 1:32 to staveoff any flickering Moun­ taineer hopes. In their final appearances in Varsity Gym, the senior trio of Peel, Powers and Spur lock managed to connect on only 11 of 36 field goal attempts, including just one-for-10 from three-point range. Spur lock did finish with 16 points and 15 rebounds before fouling out with one sec­ ond left. Peel had nine points, five assists and three steals, but Powers failed to score in 22 minutes of action. Ross led ASU with 18. English led the Buccaneers with 21 points and six rebounds. Greg Dennis scored 15 points, and Talford finished with nine points and eight rebounds. "I think the big surprise for us was that Calvin was able to play," ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce said. "I didn't have a clue that he'd be able to play. We really intended for him to come back in the tournament but he said that he felt like he could play and the doctor said his knee was fine to play. �The Appalachian. Tuesday Mnrrfr ? joa?

Tne-wwening of this frequently used blacktop is gravely needed; however, the DOT does not plan to construct the addition until 1998. Although planning for the wider 105 Connector has been completed, rightof-way acquisition will not begin until 1996. This is to long too wait. The project should be given top priority, and construction should begin immedi­ ately. The 105 Extension connects two of the major highways in Boone. Highway 421 is four lanes as it joins the 105 Connector. The extension joins Highway 321, a five-lane project. It also intersects with a five-lane highway 105. These major highways should not be connected with two lanes of congestion. The 105 Extension is a major bottleneck that must be corrected soon. The small stretch of highway handles far more than it was designed to accommodate each day. The road serves as a truck route for trucks and trailers travelling through Boone. It also serves as a bypass around the campus and away from the downtown area. According to the Final Environmental Impact Statement completed in 1990, the 105 Connector was designed to handle 12,500 vehicles per day. At that time the .9 mile stretch of road handled 18,300 to 23,800 vehicles per day, vastly more traffic than it was paved to accommodate. > The widening of421,321 and 105 havebeen welcome additions to the Boone area. The widening of 105 Extension will also be a welcome site, as it is gravely needed. Watauga County continues to grow, as does Appalachian State. This growth will not subside over the next six years. Such growth will cause the 105 Extension to continue to be a problem—a problem which should be amended as soon as possible. Neither the people of Watauga county, the students of ASU, nor the tourists visiting the High Country should be forced to endure this situation any longer. Plans have been made to correct the situation. Those plans should be enacted soon. The great citizens of this area should not suffer another six years. The lime to correct this problem is now, not more than half a decade from today. College isn't the same as it used to be. The educational plan for bachelor's degree candidates used to be nine years of elementary school, four years of high school, and four years of college. Exceptions were very few. People who went to college went for four years—that was it. There was a clearly defined freshman year, sophomore year, junior year and senior year. Terms such as third-semester junior and fifth-year senior were nearly unheard of. This situation existed when our parents were in college, in the '50s and '60s. Accounting was, for all practical purposes, the only program that lasted longer than four years. Within the past few years, however, things have changed drastically. Now, most -students take five years to receive their bachelor's de­ grees. Several reasons exist for Hateghange, one of them oeing more course requirements, both in general college and in different majors. BecawtSf suffer requirements, students may have trouble getting the courses they need to graduate in eight semesters. The state of North Carolina is considering a plan in which any student taking longer than eight semesters to graduate from a state-funded institution would be re­ quired to pay out-of-state tuition. This plan is designed to eliminate in-state students who could possibly graduate in four years from taking advantage of state funds by staying in school longer than necessary. No, people should not be lazy. No one should be able to mooch off someone else, the state or whomever, so that he or she can stay in school and vegetate rather than getting out in the real world. It makes me just as angry as the next person to see lazy people taking advantage of the government, their parents, or whom­ ever. It bothers me to see people who don't graduate on time, because they complain that they can't handle an academic load of more than, say, 14 hours: yet, when I must say 1 am one of the luci^r Ates; I am getting out in eight semesters without summer school, with a French education major and a business minor. I am able to do so because I placed into a fairly high level in French, and I have never taken less than 15 hours in any semester. However, I am working hard to get out of school in four years because of my parents, not because of the North Carolina state government. My parents pay my tuition, and I don't want them to have to pay for me to be in school any longer than four years. Using state funds to go to school would not be of any concern to me if I wanted to stay in school longer, since state funds come from my pocket and that of my parents in the first place. Another thing the state government must realize before it tries to implement such a ridiculous plan is that more and more majors are programmed for five or more years. Accounting is a prime example. The ac­ counting program was recently boosted from five to six years. Music is another example, music education par­ the military or into unemployment and the homeless? Instead of putting missiles into silos, why not just bury a few million dollars in a hole some­ where? To coin a phrase "same difference!" Congress currently has the right to question any Republican proposals in the way of economic reform due to these transgressions forced on the public in the past. As for the debate over quotas, you can argue either way. Those who support them are accused of reverse discrimination, and those who don't are called racist There is no simple answer, yet Democrats have done more to break down these racist and sexist barriers than have their counterparts. In 1984, Mondale had a female for a running mate, and at the same time a black presidential candidate gained some political ground under the Democratic banner. By GARY LARSON Democrat reader strikes back at letter To the Editor: Evidently Mr. Meyer and his fellow cosigners blindly follow their political parties in blatant disregard of their own common sense (Feb. 13/Republicans did not deserve criticism). The arguments they pose are built upon an extremely weak foundation, much like the policies of the Republican party itself. In the days before feathers The money that goes into state-supported schools belongs to the people of the slate. It doesn't come from God for the government to dictate how to spend. If you are from North Carolina, state money that sup ports ASU comes from you and me. If we want to stay in school longer than four years and pay in-state tuition, we are not mooching off the government so we won't have to get out in the real world. We are using the money we've already given to the government. We cannot be made to pay out-of-state tuition when the government is using the tax money we paid to supgsgfeour state univer­ sities. ticularly. The bachelor of music degree requires 135 hours of coursework. one hundred and thirty-five hours translates into an average of 17 hours of coursework per semester. This course load isn't impossible. However, if the student is also trying to hold down a job, as many students do because they either can't or don't want to mooch off their parents, taking 17 hours can be very difficult. If the student can afford to take 17 hours and not work, wonderful. However, the stale government must realize that for the majority of people, this isn't the case. Other majors with programs requiring more coursework than anyone could reasonably complete in four years include elementary and middle grades educa­ tion and almost any degree program in the College of Business. The state government must also consider how long it takes people to double-major. With so many majors in and of themselves taking longer than four years, adding another major to the original one means an even greater amount of additional time in school. A double major may make a person more marketable. There is no reason why in-state students who want to make themselves more marketable should have to pay out-of-state tuition in order to do so. Also, many students get behind because they change their majors, particularly if the change in major comes during the junior or senior year. Changes this late in the school career should be avoided as much as possible; however, they do happen, and students who change their majors this late in the game should not be punished by having to pay out-of-state tuition. The state wants the power to refuse 64 fund state university students after the eighth semester. If the money came from somewhere other than the pockets of the very people who are being refused funding, the story would be different. However, state university funds come from the pockets of state citizens. When the state citizens who pay the taxes that fund state universities decide to take longer than eight semesters to get their degrees, for whatever reason, the state has no right to refuse them in-state tuition. The funding that makes in­ state tuition possible comes directly from the pockets of state citizens. Some people stay in school longer than four years for reasons that could be avoided. However, some people genuinely need to be in school longer due to the field in which they are getting a degree, a double major, a need to work and go to school at the same time, or a change in the major. Whatever student reasons may be, the slate does not have the right to play God and refuse the student advantages which have already been paid for by their taxes. Democrat questions Republican contributions Editor's note: Those interested in seeing this project accelerated, can write to John Beall, member of the Transportation Board, North Carolina Departnem of Transportation, P.O. Box 2400, Lenoir N.C. 28645. The project is considered TIP Project # U-2202 (NC105 Connector) by the DOT and should be referred to as such in any correspondence.The Appalachian joins the Boone Town Council, the Watauga County Commissioners, Boone Chamber of Commerce and ASU in vying for support for this project. THE FAR SIDE springtime rolls around these same people spend about 75 percent of their waking hours sunbathing or play­ ing volleyball or throwing a ffisbee. In these particu­ lar cases, if these students would study a fraction of the time they spend goofing off, they would have no trouble handling a heavier course load and getting out sooner. However, this is a moot point. (And. by the way, I have nothing against sunbathing, playing volleyball or throwing frisbees, in and of themselves.) The fact is we can't make an in-state student pay out-of-state tui­ tion just because they refuse to apply themselves and try to get out of school within a reasonable period of time. State funding for universities comes from state taxes. People who apply themselves and people who don't, pay the same state taxes. Therefore, when students pay in-state tuition after their eighth semester, for whatever reason they are still in school, they are not receiving handouts from the govern­ ment in order to stay in school. Rather, the students are getting back the money they have already given to the government through taxes. Their first claim is that the Demo­ crats are at fault for the present condition of the economy. They go on to state that "Bush, like Reagan before him, has proposed bold new plans that would spur the economy." Was it not Reaganomics that fertilized the federal deficit to its present statute as well as aid in bringing about the recession we now face? How many of the rich got richer under Republican policies as the poor got poorer? What was more important to Reagan, investment into In the meantime the Republicans have rejected a proposed bill for four to six weeks of unpaid maternity leave for workers to ensure they had a job to return to. Heie in the Tarheel state a "respectable" GOP striving for re­ election to the senate launched a vicious mud-slinging campaign against his opponent on the fact he was black. This proves that David Duke is the perfect Republican nominee. Numerous times in the past various environmental bills have been delivered to the president for endorsement yet met a veto (Clean Air bill. Clean Water bill) due to infringement on the right of factories to pollute as they produce. Even when a bill is signed, it usually has little effect due to unrealistic time limits or unusual circumstances. Only recently due to public attention and fear of a hole in the ozone layer has the date for the extinction of ozone depleting materials been moved up. This shows how much the Republicans "care" about the environment. Finally for the most mistaken conviction of Mr. Meyer's and friends' argument. The presidency is a two-way street; both domestic and foreign policies need its attention. This the Republican party itself has proven. Was it not Reagan who coined the term "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" Apparently the president can take the credit when the economy is seemingly prosperous, yet when the feces hits the fan, it's Congress' fault. As for the foreign policy, your list of accomplishments is absurd. What did our present holder of the executive office have to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Arab-Israeli peace talks, the ending(?) of apartheid, and the surge of democracy in Eastern Europe? Sure Hussein was stopped, but who gave him his weapons in the first place? May we also give the president credit for Tienimen Square, Yugoslavia's civil war and the expanse of an international drug trade? Other than Desert Shield/Storm, what else has the president really accomplished? Probably the same as Mr. Meyer's letter: nothing. Robert Robertson ASU Box 15550 Organization writes regarding article To the Editor: What follows is a copy of a letter I sent to Captain Stephen Perry, traffic supervisor of the University Police Force. Dear Capt. Perry, This is a letter concerning the tickets I have gotten in the last couple of weeks. I have a registered automobile for anywhere on the campus (other than reserved spots) and can't understand the sudden influx of tickets. I know your budget is tight, and students should not be allowed to park where they are not allowed, but I have received S45 in tickets within a month's time, and that is ridiculous. This is not New York City. I can't believe you have all these traitors working for you for $4.25 per hour. I'd like to see how many tickets they'd write if you weren't paying them. We are here to receive an education, not a parking ticket. I went to the library tonight at 7 p.m., past when all the main traffic and your ticket writers had gone home. I parked in a service space that obviously would not be used until tomorrow and was there only a couple of minutes. But sure enough when I came out there was a lovely yellow trademark of yours on my windshield. I'm sorry, but I'm fed up. I pay quite a bit of money to attend this school, as well as S70 to park here. This ticket writing is out of hand. If you need the extra money, then charge S5 more for stickers. You must realize that we are the future of this school as alumni. If we don't help promote and support ASU, there will be a serious stagnation in the growth of this institution. I've already warned my sister off because of precisely what you do. I know of many attacks and other forms of violence that have occurred on this campus and believe that some of them could have been prevented if you weren't writing a ticket somewhere! Why can't you have your force concentrate more on the well-being of the students rather than victimize them and take all their money? It might as well be robbery, because what am I going to do? You've already taken S35 out of my paychecks up here simply because I work for ASU. I may be young and lacking in the power it takes to fight you, but I assure you that 10 * years down the road it will be a different story. The police should be friends of the public, but here it seems like all you guys want to do is take away our lunch money. I assure you that I will remember, and you can mark my words that there will be a day when I will be able to return all your favors! , This may seem like a hostile letter, • * but I would like you to take this letter seriously, because that is the way it is intended. You may have your rules (and we must have them) but everything is not always as black and white as you think. Craig Robertson �a.

When you go out during the evening or after dark, do you feel it a necessity to take precautions against vio­ lent crimes such as burglary or rape? Many students would say they feel safe here, but few, most likely, would go out after dark without taking precautions. In the 1990-91 academic year one rape was reported, but according to Tugman, the incident was determined to be false. In the same year, there were 12 burglar­ ies, four aggravated assaults, one at­ tempted robbery and one motor vehicle theft. According to Tugman, so far in the 1991-92 school year there have been no reported rapes, robberies or aggra­ vated assaults. The number of burglaries, however, increased to 18. There has been one motor vehicle theft so far this school year. As for incidences of reported rapes, Tugman admits the rate herehas remained very low, and events here are not reflect­ SGA balanced ing the increases elsewhere in the nation. At University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill there was a 100 percent in­ crease in reported rapes over the past three years, said LL Marcus Perry, secu­ rity officer at UNC Chapel Hill. According to recent law, all college campuses will have to publish all records of violent crime. The first reports are to be published in August of this year and docu­ ment all reports since the beginning of 1990. It will be only then when we can truly see how we fare compared to other schools both in North Carolina and across the United States in rates of rape and violent crime as a whole. Over the past three years ASU security has been slowly upgrading, according to Director of Public Safety Roy Tugman. During this period, security has increased officers and the foot patrol at night. More officers are now present at school func­ tions and events including those on-campus events atThe Pub, Legends and at ball games. Tugman discussed the improvements that have taken place over the past three years. First, the number of blue light call systems across campus has increased from seven to 19. More lights have been placed around campus, especially in the parking areas. Horn in the West is now much more lit than it used to be, and closed circuit televisions are also being used on some lots, Tugman said. The Chapel Hill campus has many of the same devices we have at ASU; they use call boxes and cameras, also. Violent crime over the same period rose there 27 percent, but again, one should look at the individual stats. Perry said the increase is not necessarily I 21 See ASU page 4 Til tu Murphy says platform goals achieved that there are enough votes on the town By AMANDA NELSON council to pass a referendum, allowing Appalachian News Editor for a voter decision.

This year, Appalachian security took advantage of a state legislative act which allowed security officers to become ac­ tual police. At UNC-CH, theofficers have been police for several years. "We are doing the same things we've been doing for years," Tugman explained. The dif­ ference, he said, was that they have belter access to other law enforcement officers in Boone and Watauga County. speaks ASU News Bureau Appalachian Photo by HurxKll ttnnink UMBRELLAS SAVE THE DAY: Rainy weather has been abundant in Boone this week. Umbrellas could be seen all over Appalachian's campus yesterday as students walked to class over slick steps and soggy ground. More cloudy weather is expected to be abundant into the weekend. Naomi Tutu, daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and an executive of the World Bank, will speak Feb. 27 at Appa­ lachian State University. The 8 p.m. forum in Farthing Audito­ rium will address aspects of "Global Per­ spectives on Economics" in underdevel­ oped nations. Admission is free. Call the office of cultural affairs at 262-2850 for more information. Tutu earned a double major in French and economics from Berea College and a master'sdegree in international economic development from the Patterson School of Diplomacy. She received an honorary doctorate from the Universal Orthodox College in Ogan State, Nigeria for her opposition to apartheid. » Tutu is pursuing a doctorate in interna­ tional development at the London School of Economics. She is also a visiting pro­ fessor at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. Throughout her career, Tutu has as­ sisted her father's efforts to oppose apart­ heid. She has also helped South African refugees through her work as chair of the Tutu Foundation, a post she held from 1985 to 1990. Tutu continues to work with the foun­ dation as a member of its advisory board. Her work with the foundation stresses aid in the form of education for those dis­ placed from their homes. Since 1979, Tutu has made many public addresses across the country concerning South Africa at high schools, churches,colleges and universi­ ties. She has received awards and honors from numerous organizations including the California State Legislature, the Ken­ tucky State Branches of the NAACP, the Boston City Council, Who's Who of Af­ ricans in America and from "Dollars and Sense Magazine."

The survey did list work, along with liking Appalachian, not wanting to leave ASU, and a desire to lessen academic pressure, as other common reasons for extended study. It was noted that students in their fifth year were likely to cite work for graduat­ ing late and third-year students were likely to list scheduling problems.

The tense standoff at the General Store resulted in a Jan. 16 restraining order against the university that will remain in effect while the two sides negotiate whether the co-op should remain affili­ ated with the school or continue to con­ duct business on campus as an outside vendor. Winifred Cox, director of university communications, said the co-op's locks were changed early Jan. 15 after adminis­ trators had asked several times for busi­ ness records that the students had refused to relinquish. According to administrators, a prelimi­ nary review several months ago revealed questionable cash register mistakes, three loans to store employees and a lack of proper documentation of vendor pay­ ments. Vice ChancellorTom Tucker said the information spurred his office to order a formal audit.

All of the parties involved in the 1981 desegregation suit, includ-ing the schools named in the order, Gov. Guy Hunt and the state university system, have 90 days to report on their plans to comply with the judge's order. Murphy s 1,000-page order is a result of a second trial over the case. After the first trial in 1985 a judge ruled that rem­ nants of segregation did exist in the Ala­ bama system, but he was removed from the case in 1987 by an appellate court because he was involved in segregation issues as a former state lawmaker. Attorney Rob Hunter, who represents the governor and stale education and fi­ K CJCr( i wi Classifieds judge orders segregation elimination cpsy-in what nance officials, says the state does not want to appeal Murphy's decision, but state officials are concerned about find­ ing the means to provide the $20 million to Alabama A&M and Alabama State in a time of budget cutbacks. "We are trying to determine if we can do this," Hunter said. "It will be difficult to come up with these funds." Alabama A&M officials were unavail­ able for comment, as was John Knight, an administrator at Alabama State, one of several whooriginally filed the suit against the state. Plaintiffs in the case argue that Ala­ bama historically has had twoeducational systems—one black, one white—and the black schools have received substantially less money than the white schools. A similar desegregation lawsuit in Mississippi is now before the Supreme Court. Louisiana also has a suit pending within the stale. From a legal standpoint, however, the Alabama decision has no impact of the Supreme Court. ' louse attacks ban on race-based scholarships noret de.kfc pS)—A new Department of Education roac4 ^ pljcy bars universities from awarding . jiolirships based solely on race. The 1 -v has been attacked as "legally in i : exportable" by a House panel, fhe administration has reversed de­ fies ofcivil rights progress by opposing attempts to correct past and present ijusiices suffered by minority students, jdRep. Ted Weiss (D-N.Y.), chairman ,| [he Human Resources and ^governmental Relations Subcommits [hat issued the report. In announcing the ban on race-specific cholarships in December, Education taetary Lamar Alexander emphasized tono student who has a scholarship will «ii because of the new policy. He also otedthat scholarships can continue to be ad by colleges to attract students if the Warships are based on a number of Ktors, such as economic background, — — ographic location and race. Hie primary result of the move will |ppredominantly white colleges from Ifering scholarships based solely on race itncourage enrollment of minorities. ffee 5~ )ff of Race can still be considered in a scholar­ ship, as long as it is "one factor among several. About 2 million students re­ ceive minority scholarships, but only 45,000 have race-specific scholarships. A review of race-specific scholarships was undertaken by the Education Depart­ ment after a department official warned Fiesta Bowl officials about offering $100,000 in minorityscholarships to Loui­ siana and Alabama universities if their football teams would play the game. The House report, "The Fiesta Bowl Fiasco: Department of Education's At­ tempt to Ban MinorityScholars hi ps,"recommends that thedepartment continue to uphold the legality of race-specific schol­ arships as an affirmative action tool. It also suggests that Alexander and other administrators develop initiatives to strengthen enforcement of civil rights laws. The report claims that race-specific scholarships are backed by the C ivil Righ ts Act of 1964, the Supreme Court and the Department of Education's own regula­ tions. r One unclear area of the new policy regards academic awards exclusively for minority students. For example, about 200 black students receive $1 million from 50 colleges under the National Achievement Scholarships for Outstand­ ing Negro Students, a program of the National Merit Scholarship Corp. of Evanston, 111. The academic merit grants, which have been awarded since 1964, are specifically for black students. The new policy appears to say that a college can't use its own funds for raceexclusive scholarships, but may accept private donations for minority-specific grants. According to the Department of Education's public relations office, if a private donation comes in for a minorityspecific scholarship, the university cannot contribute any funds to that amount. There also remains some question about whether colleges can solicit such outside, gifts for minority students. A final ver­ sion of the rules is expected to be issued after March. 1 February 27. 1992 WALK TO CLASSES. 2 BR. 2 BATH. WASH/DRY, dishwasher, disposal, furnished for 4.

Come Live Life For Today ASU Continued from page ASU students have different opinions on the safety here on campus. Paula Crowe, a transfer student and junior from Bervard Community College, compared the size of Appalachian to her former school. She said that Bervard was small with only "a couple of security guards here and there." There were no instances of reported rape during her two years at Bre­ vard Community College, Crowe said. She said she felt safe there, but she took some safety precautions. Here, however, she would never go anywhere alone. Sheryl Lynch, a transfer student from the University of Illinois at Chicago, said she never felt safe there and she remem­ bers the security not being tight. She said she feels a great deal safer here, but she still takes precautions. Lynch thinks the location of her old school was an impor­ tant factor in the crime there, but she acknowledges that crime is everywhere. SGA n T H A T IV* A Continued ffom page 1 In the past.

It's Shakespeare's closest approach to the "masque," an elaborate form of enter­ tainment in 16th and 17th century performed chiefly by The play is an enticing blend of magic, enchantment and confusion, highlighting the fairies' whimsical aspects of love and the nuisance of fairy mischief. The lighthearted and enjoyable spoof raises many serious questions about love and commit­ ment, which help explain the play's wide appeal. The play is directed by Joe Dowling, the renowned Irish director who was the youngest individual ever appointed artis­ tic director at Dublin's Abbey Theatre. He held that post from 1978 to 1986, when he became managing director of the Gaiety Theatre of Dublin. While there, he founded The Gaiety School of Acting, Ireland's only full-time independent drama conserva­ tory. Dowling's directorial approach to the production focuses on the deep levels of meaning within thecomedy, without aban­ doning its hilarious characters and count­ less jokes. The company's presentation explores the dream world, a dangerous and liberat­ ing place where the characters escape from the strict conventions endured as members of Athenia's court. Their flight into the woods enables the characters to discover hidden feelingsand buried impulses, which, once expressed in the night forest's less inhibiting atmo­ sphere, changes them forever. The set is inspired by the 15th century Flemish painter Heironymus Bosch. It features a large, multi-tiered soft sculp­ ture recreated from the painter's masterpiece "The Garden of Earthly De­ lights." The Acting Company, founded in 1971 by M argot Harley and John Houseman, has won numerous awards including the Los Angeles Drama Critics 'Circle Award and the Obie. The company is the official touring arm of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The lighting was designed by Allen Lee Hughes and thecostumesby Catherine Zuber. Music was composed by George Fulginiti-Shakar. The New York Times said the acting company was a prescription for a Na­ tional Theater. The Philadelphia Daily News described the company as a group with style, spirit, raw energy and gritty acting talent. The Acting Company is unlike any other professional theater in America; their mission is unique.They are devoted to the art of acting and to producing that art for a national audience. They develop America's most gifted young actors and, by doingso, develops coast-to-coast con­ stituency for live theater. TheAc ting Company fosters actors and an audience in the same way, by provid­ ing them both with the opportunity to discover the riches contained within the world's great dramas. Tickets, $4 for students and $8 for nonstudents, can be purchased weekdays from noon to 4 p.m. at the auditorium box office. For ticket information call (704) 2624046.

PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor •IV4 > l e in i estic "AN EVENING OF VOICE" Julia Pedigo will be featured in "An Evening of Voice and Friends." Many members of the ASU School of Music faculty will perform with Pedigo. Pedigo will debut compositions by ASU faculty member Bill Harbinson. The concert will take place on Tuesday, March 1, at 8 p.m. in Rosen Concert Hall. The ASU School of Music will feature some of the best student and faculty per­ formers in several concerts scheduled throughout the week. From the rich full sound of a concert band to the high ranges of a soprano, many talents will be show­ cased in these performances. The ASU Concert Band and the Uni­ versity Orchestra will perform on Sun­ day, March 1. The ASU School of Music Faculty Recital Series will be on Tuesday March 3 featuring DT. Julia Pedigo. The most enjoyable evenings are usu­ ally those spent with friends. "An Evening of Voice and Friends" will feature so­ prano Julia Pedigo and will include the premiere of "Rhymes of Childhood" by composer Bill Harbinson. Pedigo, director of voice at Appala­ chian, will be accompanied throughout the concert by music faculty members Susan Brashier, Jon Beebe, Douglas Miller, Lynn White, Nancy SchneelochSimmons, Kenneth Lurie, H. Max Smith, Joe Phelps and Rodney Reynerson. The program features compositions from the late 17th to the 20th centuries, giving the audience a chance to see many performance styles. First on the program is "All'ombra di sospetto" by Vivaldi. It will be followed by "Four Fragments from the Canterbury Tales" by Lester Trimble, "Let the bright Seraphim" by Handel, "Der Hirt auf dem Felson" by Schubert, "Pastorale" by Stravinsky and "Jazz Songs" by Betty Roe. The evening concludes with a col­ lection of songs composed especially for Pedigo by Harbinson. "I asked Julia about composing pieces for her to perform during her recital," Harbinson said. After some discussion, Harbinson set five poems by lames Whitcomb Riley to music. "I asked her what poetry she had been reading and enjoyed and she suggested Riley." Harbinson said Riley's poems were interesting from a musical standpoint. "Rhymes of Childhood" is a collection of songs about childhood and songs told from a child's point of view. "The songs range from humorous to sad," Harbinson said. One song is about a boy pretending to be a drummer in a band. Another tells of the stages of a young girl'slife, from having her toys broken by boys to having her heart broken. "A Gustatory Achievement" retells a child's wonder at all thefood atGrandma's house at Thanksgiving. Pedigo is a favorite of area concert audiences. Her sensitive interpretation and extraordinary vocal talent led to a first place award in the 1986 North Carolina Teachers of Singing Artists'Awardscom­ petition. Pedigo has delighted audiences with her chamber recitals, opera appear­ ances, and featured performances with the North Carolina Symphony.

Who was playing? Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women were. These Blues stars are back on the moun­ tain once again and ready for some hot, deep and soulful tunes. Saifire—The Uppity Blues Women will be back on the Appalachian Stale University campus this Friday. They will appear in the Plemmons Student Union Pub at 9 p.m. The event is sponsored by A.P.P.S.

They will bring their down-home blues style to Boone all the way from Fredrick, Va. Uppity Blues may seem to be a contra­ diction in terms, but this trio is sure to deliver a combination of riveting monster tones to drive any audience wild. They'll make you yell and make you moan. They'll make you laugh and cry. Saffire's music has been described as up front, frank and hilarious. The group recently performed in Char­ lotte and was featured on the front page of The Charlotte Observer's Extra sec­ tion. New Christian music on review >9 »r" THURSDAY, February 27,1992 •I * p>ick 27 THE APPALACHIAN On stage with "A Midsummer Night's Dream" •vahlr (S \ By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Contemporary Christian music fans from ASU and the Boone community had fr® opportunity to see Matt Tyler in concett.The concert was sponsored by United Campus Ministries. Tyler, a native of Nashville, Tenn., is •n up-and-coming artist in the contemporary Christian music field. He has been B^tdescribed as"Steven Curtis Chapman *ith a twang." His songs, like many in country music, range from very upbeat to slow enough to Jtk tears from one's eyes. Tfre concert opened with the song "It H Took One Man," a fairly upbeat which explained how it only took °ne man, Jesus Christ, to save the world from sin. Another song, "Ghost Town," was inby an old Clint Eastwood movie. sP*reU In a particular scene in the movie, Eastwood enters a town where nothing is left but uprooted tumbleweeds and bro­ ken down buildings with no people at all. What if the town had beautiful mansions and streets paved with gold instead of uprooted tumbleweeds and broken-down buildings? This inspires the song, "GhostTown," in which Tyler sings of heaven, compar­ ing it to the ghost town in Eastwood's movie. Unlike the ghost town in the movie, which is lonely without people, when we enter heaven, God will be there to greet us. "Over the Storm" is a slow song that was inspired by Tyler's experience dur­ ing his last years of college. Tyler was experiencing the same emotions most college juniors and seniors feel, trying to decide what he wanted to do as a career and wondering how he was going to make it in the "real world." The message in the song is that God is with us always and will carry us over whatever storm we are experiencing in our own lives. Tyler also sang a song originally performed by another contem­ porary Christian artist, Steven Curtis Chapman, whom Tyler said was a great inspiration to him duringhis college years. The song was entitled "More to This Life." Its message was that there is more to this life than just moving apathetically through daily routines. Every day brings a new opportunity to praise God. We should takeadvantage ofthisopportunity and be excited about it. Tyler also performed the title track from his album, "Faithful in Believing." This upbeat song's message says we should be faithful by trusting God and believing in him. Tyler's album, "Faithful in Believing," is available on cassette and compact disc through New Avenue Ministries. Downbeat magazine's 38th annualcrit­ ics poll said Saffire isa top talent, deserv­ ing wider recognition. The group has opened for legends such as B.B.King, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Ray Charles. After performing with such world re­ nown artists of the blues world the band has received national recognition and their popularity is always increasing. Saffire got its big break in 1989, when they signed a recording contract with Al­ ligator Records. Alligator Records is the biggest blues label in the country. The group has recorded two albums since then and accumulated a list of achievements and awards. The Uppity Blues Women won the W.C. Handy Blues Song of the Year Award for their single, "M iddle Age blues Boogie." Saffire is past the point of being up and coming; they are already sizzling hot. Saffire—The Uppity Blues Women's appearance marks an excellent opportu­ nity to see the blues experts in action. Tickets are on sale in the Plemmons Student Union. Tickets are S3 for students and $5 for faculty, staff and guests. Any tickets still available will be sold at the door. Club Candlelight is a monthly enter­ tainment series sponsored by A.P.P.S. Special Events council. For more information contact the A.P.P.S. office at 262-3032. Don't miss your opportunity to see this hot trio and to hear some of the region's best blues music.

On "Musical Portraits," his 14th al,Urr|. dentin continues his unique sty­ mie mixture of jazz and r&b with Brazil411' ^fro-Cuban, Bolivian, Peruvian. Ar^jhne and Puerto Rican influences. And Wave though this kind of globetrotting package presents quite an eclectic mix, the thread that ties it all up is the omnipresent sound of flute, an instrument that transcends all cultures. "There is a whole world of flute that has not been employed," said Valentin, who has a collection of 50 flutes from around the world. "The flute is a constant in all cultures. If you go to India you can see one kind of flute-playing. If you go to Peru you see another. Indonesia has its own kind of flute. Everywhere you travel—Romania, Egypt,South America, Australia—you will find different styles of flute-playing that are unique to a par­ ticular culture. You're talking about a whole tapestry of sound. What I want to do is portray this tapestry and bring a full interpretation of what the fluteis all about" One comer of the tapestry that is "Win­ ter Sunset," in which Valentin plays clay and porcelain flutes that are indigenous to American Indians. Elsewhere on the al­ bum he plays pan pipes, ocarinas and bamboo flutes to enhance the world mu­ sic spirit. On tour, Valentin generally takes out 15 flutes, which allows him to fully explore the subtleties and nuance of this rich tapestry. "The reason I do that is because I've always wanted to do some­ thing different. As a kid, when I saw great players of the flute like Herbie Mann, Hubert Laws and James Moody, 1 was very impressed, but at the same time I wondered, 'Is there more that you can do with it?' And by playing all these flutes from different cultures, I have been able to kind of stake out my own territory on the instrument," said Valentin. Valentin said,"This album is about the musicians as family. I've only had two groups in the past 14 years. The first was a septet, the second was a quintet. So I do believe in a family environment in music. I don't see the reasoning behind getting five different bass players or drummers to do five different tunes. If you can find musicians who can do it all, then you can really grow and develop together, like a family. With this second family of musi cians, we've been able to express our creativity and explore a kind of telepathy between all of us. So for me, this band and this album in particular is a fusion of friendship, musicality and creativity." The album closes on a poignant note with a live performance of Duke Ellington's lovely "Prelude To A Kiss" from the 1990 Montreux Jazz Festival. "I'm glad we put that on the record be­ cause it's a performance that should not be lost," Valentin said. "I think it's the best performance of that tune that we've done, as far as the interplay between pi­ ano and flute. The beauty ofitwasthaiit's purely spontaneous. What you seeis what you get."

Those attending the concert in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall were surprised to learn the sound of the hawk comes from 30 musicians patting their thighs with their hands. "The Soaring Hawk" by Timothy Mahr won the 1991 American Bandmasters Association Ostwald Award and was the feature piece of the concert. The piece contrasts a hawk's freedom from physical ties to the earth to the environmental destruction witnessed while in flight. The 52-member ensemble, directed by Dr. William Gora, was joined by guest soloist Dr. Douglas Miller, a member of the School of Music faculty. The program began with a march by Richard Strauss, "Feierlicher Einzug der Ritter des Johanniterordens." The en­ semble continued with British composer Eric Coates' "Knightsbridge March" and Mahr's compositions. Miller joined the ensemble in "Intro­ duction and "Theme and Variations in E flat Major" by Rossini and David Holsinger's 'ToTame the Perilous Skies." Holsinger's piece, commissioned by the 654th Tactical Air Command Band, premiered in 1990.

Smith High School in Fayetteville. ay HOLLY ROBINSON Appalachian Staff Writer Donnell Rawls, a junior transfer from -Salem State University, has not j^n defeated in a single wrestling match ,1) year. His current record in the 118pound weight class is 2-0. He has eight pins on the season, and has finished first •t all three of the tournaments that the Apps have participated in this year. Rawls started wrestling in the fourth "All the other guys took up popular sports, like football, but me and a few other guysdecided to try wrestling,"Rawls said. The first year Rawls wrestled, he lost every single match. "Everybody laughed at me and said, 'Why take all the abuse,' " Rawls remembered. Winston Rawls wrestled all three of his years at Smith, and comprised an overall record of 89-5-2. He capped off a brilliant high school career with a state championship in his senior season before accepting a grant to wrestle at Winston-Salem State University. ASU Head Coach, Paul Mance, had offered Rawls an athletic scholarship straight out of high school." "We definitely wanted him really badly out of high school," commented Mance. "Things just didn't work out right. It might be good that he didn't come then because he had a strong acquaintance in the same weight class. This way he could make a name for himself, and not be behind a name. By going to WSSU, he had a better situation to start with. " During his two years at WSSU, Rawls com­ piled a record of 56-6, won 10 tournaments, and became the school's first and only national champion. After obtaining one Division II National §§: championship, Rawls decided that he wanted to take the Division I title too;so, when WSSU dropped its wrestl­ ing program due to a lack of funds, Rawls turned his eyes towards Appalachian. Mance put the gears in motion to get Rawls up here, and as sg: soon as he heard from Mance, Rawls mind was || made up. "We were very, very fortunate to have achance || to get Donnell," com­ mented Mance. "You don't gel an opportunity' like this often. Him com­ ing into ASU a Division II national champion added lots of fire to the team. He had a great atti­ tude about being cham­ pion, and he was good for the team, he had done what everybody else wants to do.

On Saturday, ASU took its victory 10-4 in the first game but dropped the second game 8-7. The Mountaineer's offense was on target in both games, but they were not able to hold on to their lead in the second game. The doubleheader left the Mountaineers' record at l-l. In the first game, Danny Wills pitched five strong innings to lead the Mountaineers to their first win of the year. Wills was one of the top Mountaineer hurlers last season. He compiled a 6-5 record for the Apps in the 1991 season. Wills was 3-3 for ASU in his freshman season of 1990. Freshman Scott McDaniel and Jody Boyles led the attack for ASU at the plate. McDaniel, who plays catcher, registered two hits and two RBIs, while third baseman Boyles also had two hits. Joe Bernard also got into the act hy homering and notching two RBIs. Mike Ramsier also added two RBIs. App*»chi»n Pholo by Tr«y Moracfc HIGH FLYING PEEL: ASU senior point guard launches a jumper during the Mountaineers', 68-61 victory over Marshall Monday night.

The Watauga Demoto 'his article. Appalachian State has made a habit of turning what were supposed to be easy home wins into nail biters. That trend continued Monday night in Varsity Gym as the Mountaineers broke open a tight contest in the final minute to scorea 68-61 win over Marshall. The Mountaineers improved to 9-4 in the Southern Conference with the victory and raised their overall mark to 14-12. Appalachian hasnow wonl0ofitslastl2 contests, after starting the season 4-10. The Thunderiiig Herd, who lost for the 20th time this season and reside in the SC basement with a 2-10 league mark, gave the third-place Mountaineers quite ascare for more than 39 minutes of the contest. Marshall trailed by just a single point, 62-61, when junior center Luke Gross scored a layup with 1:23 remaining. But down the stretch the Apps put the ball in the hands of senior point guard Rodney Peel, their best ball-handler and free throw shooter. Peel sank six free throws in the game's final 37 seconds to push the Apps to the 68-61 victory. "A couple of times the team could have lowered my blood pressure," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said of the close out­ come. "The key for us was when we went to a smaller, quicker defensive lineup. This was a gutsy win. I'mreally happy for our kids." "This game was really frustrating for us," Marshall Head Coach Dwight Free­ man said. "We came so close and then gave them some opportunities. Rightdown the stretch, we didn't do a very good job. "It seemed almost like 'The Twilight Zone' or something," Freeman quipped. "Nothing was going right for us." Appalachian Stale was able to pull out the victory despite shooting just 39 per­ cent from the floor. For the game, the Mountaineers connected on just 23 of 59 field goal attempts, their second worst effort of the season. Apke attributed the poor percentage to good defensive play by the Thundering Herd. "Marshall really put a lot of pressureon us, and at times we didn't react well toit," Apke said. "We shot some really impul­ sive shots." "They shot 39 percent tonight. If the other team shoots 39 percent, you're sup­ posed to win the ballgame," said a beleagured Freeman. The contest was nip and tuck through­ out the second half, with neither team able tograb a sizeableadvantage. Marshall took its final lead of the night at 46-44, when Malik Hightower jammed home a Harold Simmons miss with 9:25 to play. The game was knotted at 53, when the Mountaineers seized the lead for good on a three-point goal from Peel with 5:29 to play. The first half was a seesaw affair that saw the lead change hands four times and featured four deadlocks. Marshall used an early 13-2 spurt to grab a 15-8 lead with just under 13 min­ utes to play in the opening half.

"His death is my motivation in wres­ tling." Rawls commented. "He couldn't do the things he wanted to, because of early death. The things I want to do, I'll do. If I'm wrestling an opponent from a bigger school, it doesn't matter. When you're on the mat, it's man to man, and no matter who he is, I'm not going to let him take my goals away. '1 can't picture myself not being around wrestling. If there's one place I'd want to die, it would be on the mat. When I'm in a match, I think to myself, 'He's gonna' have to kill me to beat me.'

It's not easy for the team to get an idea of what it takes when the coaches try to describe it. It just doesn't sink in like someone who demonstrates it. "Donnell is a great kid with a good attitude. He works hard to do what he wants to do. He was elected team captain as soon as he arrived because the others could see his dedication and hard work. They hoped he would ruboff and pushed his habits towards them. He deserves great credit because he came from a small pro­ gram and made itall on his own. He knew what it took to become a winner."

He wrestles to fulfill the goals that he The Appalachian State wrestling squad trounced Davidson 53-0 Friday night in Varsity Gym, and gave Head Coach Paul Mance his 200th career victory in the process. The match concluded the regular sea­ son for the Mountaineers, who will now gear up for the Southern Conference tour­ nament next weekend in Asheville. The victory gave the Apps a 15-3-1 record. The Mountaineers were victorious in every weight class and scored five pinfall victories on the night. Among those scoring pins for the Apps was 126-pound grappler Donnell Rawls, who pinned Wildcat competitor Robbie Fiero in just 38 seconds. Rawls, ranked sixth in the country in the 126-pound class, wrapped up his first regular season with Appalachian with a spotless 26-0 mark. Rawls transferred to ASU from Winston-Salem State, where he won the Division II national championship last season. Appalachian took an early lead in the match when 118-pound wrestler Mike Orris picked up a forfeit victory. After Rawls' victory, 134-pound Mountaineer Scott Beauchamp scored a 1:14 pinfall victory over Davidson's Myles Louria. Victor Balmaceda then recorded the Mountaineers' third straight pinfall,down­ ing Wildcat matman Francis Mitchell in 2:10 in a 142-pound battle. 150-pounder Kyle Kuykendall made it fourpins in a row by defeating Davidson's Jared Click in 3:35. The 158-pound matchup was the clos­ est encounter of the night for Appala­ chian Slate, but the Mountaineers again came out on top. App grappler Bill Baker outpointed Sam Knowles of Davidson 6-3 as ASU remained unscathed in the match. The Mountaineers picked up another easy victory in the 167-pound category, as ASU's Corey Creech cruised to a 20-7 victory over Wildcat Scott Townsend. Shomari Rozier then recorded the Apps' fifth and final pinfall of the night in the 177-pound class. Rozier put Davidson's Brian Parrish's shoulders to the mat in 2:18 Appalachian picked up another forfeit victory in the 190-pound class, as Tory Maiden went unopposed. Heavyweight Chris Sanders put the icing on the Mountaineer victory with a 12-1 romp over Wildcat Jimmy Stewart. The Mountaineers will next compete in the Southern Conference Tournament on March 8 at the Asheville Civic Center. Appalachian will be the second seed in the tournament, behind regular season leading Tennessee-Chattanooga. Appalachian State and UTC have con­ sistently been the cream of the SC wres­ tling crop. The Mountaineers finished second to the Moccasins in last year's tournament, which was held in Boone. The Apps and Mocs met in Chatta­ nooga earlier this season in Chattanooga, Tenn., and the Moccasins emerged victo­ rious by the count of 26-16. "We're looking forward to hopefully winning the championship," Rawls said of the SC tourney. "We're really excited about it." "Everyone is hoping to do high indi­ vidually, so we have a good chance of taking the championship," Rozier said. "It's not an unrealistic goal."

If there are any doubts, it won't be done. That's the difference between good kids in sports. There are other kids on the team with as much physical talent, but they haven't pushed themselves to the limit and they aren't mentally prepared to be on Donne ITs level. No one has Donnell's attitude. Rawls is anxious about nationals, but he has set his sights a little higher still. "I'm looking forward to nationals, but it's not my main goal,"Rawls said."My main goal is the Olympics. Nationals is a step­ ping stone to the Olympics." Rawls know that he couldn't have made it to his level all on his own. He realizes that he owes a lot to the various coaches that he's had through the years.

Let's hope the candidate we elect will make and follow through on promises that will benefit the American people. iitor »AF.

Tomorrow is the deadline for candidate filings. These candidates should be aware of what isexpected of them. By the conclusion of March, next year's SGA presidentand vice president will be selected, and attention will turn to the fall semester. Prior to elections, students should be aware of what to expect in the ensuing month. Soon you will be bombarded with campaign slogans, pamphlets and promises. Several candidates will file for the election. These candidates and their supporters will vie for your vote. Students will be forced to choose. They will be forced to select the leaders of a valuable student organization. So, on what basis will these candidates be selected? They will be chosen on what they promise to accomplish in the following year. They will be selected on the basis of their platform. So, what should a platform contain? A platform should contain specifics. Candidates should be specific on what they plan to accomplish next year. Candidates are seldom specific. Most use vague and even ambiguous language when wording their platform ideas. Many times candidates propose an idea on their platform but fail to explain how such a plan will be implemented. The planning stage for a worthy candidate has already come and gone. Candidates should have planned a specific platform by this, the filing stage. They should know exactly what they want to perform in the upcoming year. The details should be worked out now. Next year is the time to implement plans; it is not a time to start making them. Each semester is short, and the leaders' office terms will go by very quickly. Thus, the details should be in place now. Students should ask for these specifics. Demand that candidates back up their claims with carefully orchestrated plans for implementation. Make sure they have researched what they plan to do before they are elected and then asked to doit. Candidates should provide these specifics. They should know exactly what they plan to do if elected and know exactly how they plan to do it. Candidates should prove their worthiness by planning ahead. Tomorrow, students will know who will be running for next year's SGA president and vice president Following the announcement of candidacies, a deluge of information will engulf the students as they prepare to vote. These candidates will become your leaders of tomorrow. Make sure they are worthy to lead the Student Government Association. Determine now how effectively they will conduct their jobs next year. Today is the time to plan for tomorrow. The New Hampshire primary, the first big event that signifies that once again it is time to elect a president for this great country of ours, has come and gone. Now the big campaigning is beginning as more and more states hold primaries. It should be an interesting year for elections. At least, this presidential election is going to be closer than any we've had yet. Pat Buchanan proved that by win­ ning 40 percent of the Republican vote in New Hamp­ shire. Good ol' George was rudely awakened to the fact that he's going to have to do some pretty stiff campaign­ ing if he even wants to be a candidate for the presidency again. With a close election, campaign tactics should be pretty interesting. Rumor has it that George is going to borrow some from Jesse Helms. I wonder how he's going to do this when he can't attack any candidate on basis of race. Jesse didn't have very many other tactics. I sometimes wonder how he managed to win the 1990 senatorial race against former Charlotte mayor Harvey Gantt. But then again, Jesse had good ol' Southern values to back him up. The fact that one of those values was racism was com­ pletely ignored by voters. But anyway, that election is over, so I'll try to concen­ trate on the upcoming one.In the Republican race we have our buddy George and a columnist named Pat Buchanan. Contrary to what we all believed just a few months ago, Buchanan seems to have a decent chance. Buchanan's policy could be stated nicely as"leave well enough alone." He is most famous for his isolationist stands—bring the troops home, don't give money to Israel, and strengthen anti-immigration laws. He is right on one hand. We reallyshouldn' t be fighting other people's wars. However, on the other hand, he takes his isolationist stand a little too far. His anti-immigration ideas have been viewed by some as a form of racism. The other Republican candidate is, naturally, our current beloved president, George Bush. We pretty much know where he stands. If you haven't kept up with Bush's policies lately, nothing has changed. We're still in a recession with a capital R, and Bush is trying to get us out of it, but I'm not sure exactly how. The competition is worse among the Democratic can­ didates. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts won the New Hampshire primary, but in the Maine caucuses, he tied with Jerry Brown. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton came in third, followed by Tom Harkin of Iowa andBob Kerrey of Nebraska. There will be some heavy campaigning on the Democratic side, too. The problem with campaigning is that all candidates seem to stand for the same thing, the "same thing" being what voters want to hear. In 1989, George Bush pro­ more money out of people's incomes will just make the economy worse. In order for the economy to get back on its feet, people are going to have to spend so that money will flow back into the system. If people are going to have to spend, drey must have jobs. This was Franklin Roose­ velt's policy during the Great Depression. Roosevelt created several jobs as part of the New Deal to at least get people employed so they would be able to feed their families. It took World War II to get us out of the Great Depres­ sion. Let's hope getting out of this recession requires something a little less drastic. Let's admit it: the country is in a mess. We all know Another important area demanding presidential how horrible the recession is—probably every one of candidates' attention is education. As we are putting the us has experienced it firsthand. Education is also a big future leaders of this country through school, the schools issue: schools are overcrowded and undersupplied should be the best they possibly can be.

Right now, the government doesn't need to students than ever are dropping out simply because spend more money on anything.

STEIN Appalachian Staff Writer <515? -W- Af Btf- rvm'.oww It's Monday morning, 10:45 a.m. The sky is a bright blue, the air is crisp and clean, birds are happily chirping away, and ASU students are slowly moving toward their 11 o'clock classes. There is a cool, gentle breeze which shocks my half-asleep body into wakening. Every­ thing seems fairly pleasant; however, ev­ eryone I see passing by appears some­ what disturbed.Some are half-awake like myself. Others are awake but seemingly angered. Some have confused or worried expressions. Occasionally, one runs across a bright and cheery smile, but that's a rarity. After all, it's still Monday morn­ ing. Like most colleges around the nation, Monday morning is not a pleasant day in the average student's life. In fact, talking with most students might have one be­ lieve that college is nothing more than a tedious and boring,yet necessary struggle. Why is this so? This is supposed to be the "greatest time of our lives." In college, we should be experiencing new ideas, new dreams and new philosophies. We should be learning a new skill and profession— a profession which will make our lives better and more worthwhile. So why do we seem disturbed? The answer to this question is a highly complicated one and mainly depends upon the individual, but no one can honestly deny the fact that a majority of students are not enjoying their schoolwork. Everywhere one turns, in all typesof classes, the complaints echo like thunder through the nooks and crannys of this campus. Most of them are valid. I have seen a lot of good friends drop out, and a lot more get so frustrated with school that they sink down into a "zom­ bie-like state," simply "living for the weekends." This is not the way learning should be. In fact, it is barely surviving. A wise man once said that a student's mind is like a seed, which if cultivated prop­ erly, and given love, attention and care, will eventually blossom into a wondrous flower. This flower will then in turn give its fruits to the world and its beauty to all. Unfortunately, most of the recent Ameri­ can-bom "seeds," have ended up weeds in a garden of neglect. The fault for this agricultural nightmarelies in many things, but this article will focus on that garden's "farmers," the teachers which we have all endured for so many long and boring years. First of all, teachers need to encourage, enlighten and excite the student into want­ ing to learn and succeed. Today's class­ rooms are filled with students who no longer care about education simply due to boredom. Give students interesting projects and reports to accomplish. Allow students to voice their opinions in class about the way things are run. Make the student the teacher. Secondly, ensure that learning is fun. If students are not enjoy­ ing their schoolwork, they will soon learn to despise it.Once that happens,no amount of learning can be done. Thirdly, teachers need to make their lectures more humor­ ous and interesting. Make jokes, laugh JjmJuh^tudents^ryt^ewm^^nend and guide to the student rather than justan emotionless figurehead. Finally, teachers need K become better acquainted with their students when possible. One of the best teachers I have ever had got to know his students so well that he could tactfully make fun of them (without being insult­ ing) both in and out of class. This actually forced the students to pay attention be­ cause we were too afraid of being the one that got picked on (actually noone minded the spotlight.) He made things fun and gained our respect by giving us respect. He encouraged us to be the best that we could be and taught that success was not out of our grasp. He taught us that no one was beyond mistakes, even the "all-pow­ erful teacher." At ASU and all around the nation, learning is often a chore rather than a delight. Older teachers with seniority give their students a case of senility, while budget crises force younger, more ca­ pable students into new professions (you know who you are, please retire). Poorly organized, unintelligible and unknowledgeable teachersforce their stu­ dents into disorganized frustration, leav­ ing other friends and teachers to bring the students back to life (get organized and speak clearly.) Boring andunenlightening teachers put other students to sleep, while more inter­ esting teachersare scoffed at for their new ideas (get interesting and encouraging.) Impatient teachers scribble their garble all over their blackboards (while standing in the way of course), leaving the tutors to pick up the pieces (slow down and ensure that e>w/-»T»e understands.) Uncaring teachers give unfair exarr leaving students to question their abilitit (If one-third of your students are failin your exams, wake up, there is problem...and it's not the students).

February, Black History Month, is a time to focus on black leaders. Murphy is a black leader on ASU's cimpus who has held leadership posi­ tions hons during all four of his years at Appa Aooalachian. He has been on the judicial per­ sonnel committee, student leadershipcabi­ ns, SGA community relations board and the university convocation committee. Murphy was also public defender of ASU s student judiciary. Due to his vicepresident office.Murphy is on the student media board. "There's a lot of pressure on you. It's more of a challenge because statistically I'm not supposed to be in this situation," said Murphy. He feels that being under this pressure jxishes him to work harder to accomplish Appltcfmn Photo by Tray 1 PROMOTING AWARENESS: The Black Student Association promotes awareness oi African-American diversity on the Appalachian campus.

Murphy admits that he puts a lot of pressure on himself to excel above the average person. Trying to disprove the stereotype of black males is one of Murphy's ambi­ tions. He said he wants people to know him for who he is and what he has done, not because of his rare. Murphy said he has experienced dis­ crimination at ASU because he is black, but this has been his motivation to hold strong leadership positions. "It has been difficult for blacks for the las1400 years to get to where we are today,"said Murphy, but he believes that blacks have come a long way. Murphy stated that being a leader has made people more accepting of him on campus. Murphy, being ASU's first black SGA vice-president, feels that his role as a black leader is making lives for other blacks easier. Murphy wants blacks to believe, "If he can do it, then I can do it." Murphy wants his role as a leader to give black students a goal to obtain. "When black students come to a predominantly white university, they are always looking for a role model," said Murphy. ASU's status as a predominantly white university only had a small effect on Murphy'sdecision to attend Appalachian. "I thought about it, but it was not a major factor," said Murphy. He said he was a little hesitant at first but knew that attending Appalachian would be a challenge for him, which motivated him. Murphy was also offered a scholarship from ASU, which was apart of his decision to attend ASU. Doug Duncan, SGA student affairs committee chaiiperson, is another black leader on ASU's campus. A sophomore, Duncan has been a senator for Coffey . _ Residence u.n on .w. student affairs Hall, „„ the ....... committee and a BSA peer mentor. Duncan does not feel that it was a big challenge for him to get involved at ASU. "I was just worried about doing it," said Duncan. He said he tries not to look at things from aracial pointof view. Duncan said he is aware of the risks he is facing as a black and is prepared to handle any situation. He said that he understands that he has to be a strong black leader in order to get more blacks involved. Duncan hopes that his role as a black leader will trigger more student minority involvement in SGA and all other organi­ zations on campus. He is concerned with continuing involvement of minorities. Duncan would like to see more minorities on the student judicial board. When deciding to attend Appalachian, Duncan based hisdecision on three things: location, social atmosphere and scholar­ ship. Appalachian being a predominantly white university had virtually no effect on Duncan's decision. He decided on ASU mainly because he received a Chancellor's Scholarship. Duncan has not experienced many bar­ riers stemming from his race. "I've been kind of fortunate. I haven't experienced any big problems," said Duncan. He said that public places around town generally have very friendly people. Duncan's view of ASU's discrimina­ tion was positive."I don't feel that it's all that bad," said Duncan. He admits that discrimination exists but is not a big prob­ lem at ASU. "Here, I feel that if I'm assigned a group project or assignment, I'm able to get it accomplished," said Duncan.

Graduate student teachers bring vitality to class By SUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer The Persian Gulf War changed many pteple s lives.ForToddBottoms.agraduM student in the Technology Departit made him want to teach. When a technology professorwas called Mo active duty, Todd Bottoms took over to classes. "I got thrown into it, but it "httRed me from an industry-care person ''teaching full-time," said Bottoms. Bottoms is one of 45 graduate students who teaches undergraduate classes on campus. As Dr. Joyce Lawrence, dean of the graduate studies, explained, 'Teach­ ing gives graduate students experience and helps free up professors 90 they can do research or prepare for another class." Although ASU uses far fewer gradu­ ate teachers than larger schools, gradu­ ate student teachers are still a concern of students and faculty. Lawrence ex­ plained that Appalachian has a philoso­ phy of having good professors to teach undergraduate courses. However, Lawrence feels graduate teaching assis­ tants "bring a vitality and excitement to their classes." Senior Jennifer Natale agreed,"Gradu­ ate students are better because they are closer to our age. They are more educated for the future because they know new techniques and are not stuck in old teach­ ing habits." According to recent surveys, the nation is not producing enough professors, ex­ plained Lawrence. "Being a teaching as­ sistant is a good chance for people to find out if they want to teach," said Lawrence. "When you teach to someone else you have to really know the material," said Bottoms. "You can learn just as much from the students and from teaching as in a regular classroom." Some students like Mary Kathryn Ewart have had bad experiences with graduate teachers. "I had her my freshman year. In conferences she told me my papers were fine. When I got them back, 1 was marked down for mistakes," said Ewart "I don't think a regular professor would do that." Graduate students must have 18 hours in their discipline to apply for teaching assistantship. They are usually required to work 20 hours a week and use materials recommended by the department. The English, history and psychology departments use graduate teachers the most because these departments deal with many freshman. Graduate teachers are usually given freshman classes. Most departments hold workshops to prepare graduate teachers. The depart ment often gives the graduate student an approved syllabus to teach from. Also, the graduate teachers we observed and evaluated by the graduate coordinator, department chair or a professor in the department. "We could easily use 15 to 20 more teaching assistants,"said Lawrence."But I think we have a very good balance at ASU." Graduate student teachers are chosen by a committee and then assigned classes by the department chair. With a few ex­ ceptions. graduate students who teach receive $5,000 for a nine month school year.

Although many thought the controver­ sial drug died with the hippie culture of the 1960s, LSD is far from gone. "How did LSD creep out of Bohemia into an upper-middle class frenzy? It was advertising," said Dr. Daniel X. Freed man, professor of psychiatry and psy­ chology at UCLA, who has researched the effects of LSD on the brain since the late 1950s. "I saw LSD discovered 17 times in the popular press between 1960 and 1965.... Part of it is the allure of this odd experience. There is definitely some renewed interest. I can tell you that from my telephone." Known as one of the nation's experts on the drug, Freedman said that although LSD never went away, it is certainly back in vogue among <kug users, scientists, the media, drug counselors and enforcement agents Studies on drug use at ASU have not been done since 1988; however, nationwide trends often reflect cam­ pus trends, according to Dale Kirldey. ASU substance abuse education coordi­ nator. The last study showed alcohol was the most commonly used drug at Appala­ chian. Kirkley said. "I would say there is a significant amount of abuse and usage of alcohol and other drugs here as well as at any other college campus," Kirkley said. One user who asked to remain anony­ mous agreed. "LSD has definitely gone more mainstream," he said. "People are seeing the light." At a recent national conference in San Francisco that addressed the renewed pojxilarity of the drug, Robert Bonner of the Drug Enforcement Agency offered his reason for the upsurge. "Kids today really have no knowledge of the adverse effects of LSD. And I'm afraid it's been said those who don'tknow history are doomed to repeat it," Bonner said. Since 1938, when Dr. Albert Hofrnann synthesized lysergic acid diethylamide in Switzerland, the drug has been called everything from "God in a pill" to the ultimate illusion of hell. Opinion toward the drug is still divided. Social psychologist Uoyd Johnston, principal investigator of a University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research annual study that documents drug use among college students, said LSD was "one of the earliest drugs to fall from popularity because of concern about ad­ verse effects such as flashbacks, bad See LSD page 4 �Bicyclist to travel across the country: Anyone interested in bicy­ cling across the country, leaving from West Coast cities June 15 and arriving in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 23 should call Jean PTobinski at 262-3670.

While the Toledo case is uncommon, it has raised a basic question of trust— how much students should have in the police officers who are hired to protect them. According to Roger§erra, president of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators and chief of the University Washington Police Department, thecredentialsof cam­ pus police vary from state to state. Sena says most states require basic police academy training for all officers— state, city, federal and campus. But, he says many two-year colleges and private colleges are not bound to the same guide­ lines. 'There are both commissioned and non­ commissioned officers," Sena said. "A lot of schools use private security guards because they can't afford a regular police department. In most of the (private secu­ rity) cases, they have no academy train­ ing." Each state has its own processof deter­ mining the competence of potential offic­ ers accepted to the state academies, he said. Usually candidates must undergo psychological testing, a background check and a polygraph screening. There also is the question of whether campus officers should cany guns at all. "We should be less like the traditional police department and more like commu­ nity departmentsin termsof our response," said Tom Evans, public safety director at Drew University in New Jersey. "We're still serving as a police organi­ zation. but wedo it without sworn author­ ity, without weapons. I think it's very effective... we'e interacting with the stu­ dents so they see us as part of the commu­ nity, not someone who's judging them." The lack of training and loyalty, how­ ever, has no impact on whether or not security guards can carry guns, Serra says. Carl Dupree, a deaf student, refused to leave, so the officers handcuffed him. A struggle ensued during which Dupree collapsed and died of asphyxiation. The incident prompted students at Gallaudet, a university with a student population that is predominantly deaf or hearing impaired, to call for special sen­ sitivity training of officers,especially pro­ ficiency in sign language. Many claimed that Dupree's inability to communicate with the officers when he was handcuffed contributed to his death. A similar cry forsensitiv ity training for campus police was heard justa few months earlieT at the State University of New York at New Paltz. In July, 1990, police mistakenly handcuffed a man who was having a diabetic insulin reaction to a wall for more than an hour. Campus police said they thought the student, James Foster, 33, was on drugs. They also told the press that his long hair and beard influenced their judgment. ove a life.. ive blood Gfect £ Complete H^J Men and Wanda Councill hi berg It; 264-8826 Appletree Ap^rt^ Individually Fireproof^ Fully Furnished 1 1 2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit Dishwasher Washing Machine & Dryer Microwave Ceiling Fan Disposal J JZ& ^ ^ 262 Corner of Water & Howard Streets behind I~i . ftrown Your & l before Spring 10 sessions/$25 20 sessions/$40 Call now for your appointment- 264-6334 S>oone Heights Shopping Center Across from Winn Pixie Classifieds Naom!

Seemingly safe from •^ndly dogs aid Midwestern farm lg\ wlS that take up an entire road, two Rutgers University students pedaled "jfuDy through the California desert. Unfortunately, the serene picture of Hitman and Mark Ruppert riding *eir bicycles along a warm, dusty trail as ^ beaded for Los Angeles lost its idylin the ensuing flash flood, com­ with 95-mph winds. plete <1 never knew what (flash flood) ^ol," Hitman said. With an appreciative emphasis added, "Now I do." Hitman and Ruppert got off their bi­ bles and began to walk as a pickup truck jjcch®^ passed. The driver stopped and gave them a lift to the next town. The flash flood in California was jusi one story from their 1990 summer bicycle road trip thatstarted in Atlantic City, N J, and ended in Los Angeles. Although some might say Hitman and Ruppert—neither of whom had biking experience prior to the trip—are a bit crazy for embarking on a coast-to-coast journey through Smalltown, U.S.A., they say it was the ride of their lives. The trip, in fact, was so wonderful, they're doing it again this summer. The idea came about in the spring of 1990, when the two Rutgers seniors, then sophomores in communications, were bored aid just hanging out. "Mark and I got together and thought, 'What can we do?*" Hitman said. "The answer, of course, was ride their bicycles across the country." But the selfish pleasure (and pain) was not enough. Hitman said—they wanted their trek to be worth something. So they approached the American Lung Associa­ tion and asked if the group would like to sponsor them. As a result, the two newfound cyclists aid mother friend, Scott Jensea who drove a van across the country and met the two at checkpoints for safety reasons, raised SI0,000 for the organization "Our original goal was to raise SI ,000 each," Hitman said. After car washes, candy sales and writing letters and meeting with local businesses for donations, the incoming funds far exceeded their expectations, and they were ready to go zig-zagging along the backroads of the United Stales. "We started at the Atlantic City board­ walk; we wanted to ride from ocean to ocean," Hitman said. "We dipped our tires in the Atlantic Ocean, then when we ended up in L.A., we dipped our tires in the Pacific Ocean." Hitman and Ruppert rode through 11 states during the 50-day, 3,455-mile trip. Hitman says they did not have an organized plan for stops in towns along the way, but once they explained to hotels what they were doing and show­ ed them local newspaper articles to sup port their claims, people donated rooms for the night and restaurants offered free food. "We went slowly but swely and just rode until we got tired," Hitman said. "The people we met on the road were terrific." Being veteran riders this time around, the two became more adventurous and enlisted 25 people to come along on this ride, which will start in Seattle at the start of the summer and end in Atlantic City.

Alpha Kappa Alpha President, Kelia Gray, is involved in the Ladies Elite Orjmization, Tri Beta Honor Society and Black Student Association. Gray does not find being black a hindrance at ASU. "I didn't find any kind of problem," said Gray. She believes Appa­ in lachian does not have a big problem with discrimination, but there are some prob­ lems in Boone. Places in Boone don't focus on the black population'sneeds,"said Gray. She believes there should be more entertain­ ment establishments centered around Af­ rican Americans. Being predominantly white did not in­ fluence Gray when she decided to attend ASU. "I came here because of the infor­ mation that they sent me about the school. The school seemed to meet my needs," said Gray. Murphy feels that discrimination is everywhere, and ASU is not perfect. He said that discrimination is everywhere you go, for one reason or another. He added that discrimination is usually very subtle in today's world. "ASU has made great strides for black students on campus," said Murphy. He believes the programming for blacks is continuing to get better. Murphy had several barriers he had to overcome. The first barrier he recognized was conquering the negative aspects linked to the stereotypical black male. One other barrier deals with the class­ room. Murphy said that being the only black person in a class of 50 people is sometimes uncomfortable and makes speaking out in class difficult. One last barrier that Murphy has over­ come, and believes that every student has to deal with, is a cultural barrier. "When you come onto a white campus, you have to get used to your environment," said Murphy. He believes ASU needs more black faculty and staff. well as providing van transportation ser­ vices. The changes are largely the result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Under sec­ tion 504, thefederal government said that colleges and universities must ulrp mea­ sures to ensure that educational programs ire accessible to the disabled. "College and university recipients of federal money had to get their act to­ gether,"Hartman said. "Some havecome farther than others. (Now) most large state institutions serve a large number of disabled students." If surveys of students are any indica­ tion, services for the disabled are greatly needed. According to a 1987 Department of Education study, 1.3 million of the nation's 12.5 million students (in 1987)reported having at least one disabil­ ity. ranging from blindness and other physical handicaps to learning difficul­ ties. Because special services needed by the disabled students can be costly, every state has an Office of Vocational Reha­ bilitation that offers federal and state funds to help pay for educational costs. A dis­ ced student can register with the office •hile in junior high school. The office then does a case study and recommends the student for post-secondary education °f vocational training. Either way, OVR after an abortion? Murphy has solutions for these barri­ ers. "You've got to know who you are aid where you come from," said Murphy. He believes that you can not lose sight of your goals, values and dreams. MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP 1-800-634-2224 "Know what you want and the steps that you're going to take to get there," said Murphy. He said to be assertive, aggressive, self-assured and confident. Murphy also said to project a very posi­ tive image about yourself and to not be afraid to ask questions and challenge things. Murphy's suggestion for overcoming barriers is:"Have your mind made up that your number one priority is education, and nobody will take that away from you." Murphy said to establish role mod­ els for yourself. Debbie Wilson Critcher STYLIST 1505-F Perkinsville Dr., Boone.

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where 320disabled students are receiving an education, is considered a pioneer in the field of integrating disabled students on college campuses. Edinboro' s program started in the early 1970s and has grown now to include a support staff of 231, most of whom are students, with seven full-time profession­ als who work within the school's Office of Disabled Services. "It started at a conferenceof managers, administrators, faculty and others to see how we could integrate," said Jim Foulk, director of disabled student services at Edinboro. "Out of that meeting came the 'wheelchair campus,'" the concept of providing physical access to campus buildings for the disabled through the use of ramps, electronic doors, elevators, etc. "At the time, we only had 15 disabled students. From here, we started our resi­ dence program, and that's what really made our system unique," Foulk said. The residence program involves the designation of two dormitories as acces­ sible to the disabled. A supervisor is on duty 24 hours, and student workers help the disabled with personal care needs, like showering, dressing, doing laundry and feeding themselves. Other Edinboro services include: •A Life Skills Center, which encour­ ages independence by teaching human sexuality, consumer affairs, time management and assertiveness train­ ing. •Academic support services, complete with tutoring, career counseling, com­ puter services, learning disability aids. Braille materials and materials for the hearing impaired. •Health services that include physical therapy and a residential hall nursing sta­ tion to monitor medical needs. •Social services—the university-spon­ sored wheelchair athletic team, called the "Rolling Scots," compete in the national wheelchair games.The school alsooffers a poolside lift, special bowling lanes in the student union and a student organiza­ tion called Organization for Disability Awareness. Hartman says other campuses have followed Edinboro's lead and are work­ ing to establish similar services. Landmark Collegein Putney, Vermont, is the nation's only accredited school that caters specifically to learning disabled students, although nearly every school with a disabled student services office provides support services, such as tutor­ ing and test-taking aids. Landmark's population numbers about 170 students, most of whom suffer from t dyslexia. Dyslexia encompasses a broad range of difficulties involving information processing. Most people think only of reading difficulties when they think of dyslexia, but it also involves difficulty in verbal expression, under­ standing the order of mathematical equa­ tions (or reversing numbers) or organiza­ tional tasks.

"You can only have a trip that's already in your head," he said. Because the drug enhances the mental state of the user, the ensuing trip is largely determined by a person's state of mind when the drug is ingested. "People ask scientists, 'Please, tell us something awful (about LSD) so we can tell our kids to stop fooling around with the drug,' but we can't," Freedman said. "There is no objective evidence that LSD causes physical damage to the brain." What is known, though, is that some people experience the effects of the drug days, even years, after use, a phenomenon called flashbacks. Although the drug is believed to be safe for well-adjusted users in comfortable settings, scientistssay they are not advocating recreational use. "There is no contribution to the greater good, and for some people, it's bad," Freedman said."It's hard to manage a trip and be certain it will be successfully en­ dured." Although some have suggested that the drug is dangerous because it is addictive psychologically, scientists havefound the opposite to be true. Continued use actu­ ally builds tolerance. "The interesting phenomenon with LSD is that if you take a dose of pure stuff every day for four days straight, you will not experience a trip," Freedman said. People seeking treatment for substance abuse can contact the Counseling Center, the Substance Abuse Education Center, Alcoholics Anonymous and the Watauga Cares program, Kirkley said.

Fsbfuary 25 1832 Student affairs requests enthusiastic Appol Corps leaders By KATE HESS ^palachian Staff Writer Ba no een-oge (0%^ ; stondout prim, , MrOumtm yVs an incoming freshman at Appala­ chian, my initial emotions about college life *iOC ones of excitement followed by extreme fear of the unknown. My first living away from home would give jjc an opportunity to express my indi­ viduality. and yet I was overwhelmed »hai I first arrived on this campus. Luck­ ily, I metmy Appol Corpsleader immedinety after I met my roommate. Appol Corp is short for Appalachian Orientation Leader Corps, and its pur- pose is to help freshmen become adjusted to the social aspects of college life. Fresh­ men wrive on campus about four days before upperclassmen so they can attend Orientation Phase II and sessions led by the Appol Corps leaders. Each leader is assigned a group of 20 freshmen to answer any questions they may have about social activities or uni­ versity policies. They run through small group sessions on clubs, activities, issues around cam pais, and just general sessions to introduce freshmen to one another to help reduce their initial tensions about "JImj life. According to Ditto DiBemardi, Direc­ tor of the Center forStudem Involvement, the main goal of the Appol Corps leaders is To begin to make the students feel confident with the campus and to reduce the anxiety they may feel because they are new." The Appol Corps leaders are aophomores, juniors and seniors that act as friends, mentors and as upperclassmen contacts for the new freshmen. They are students that the freshmen can relate to because they have attended Appalachian for at least one semester. The requirements for becoming an Aoool Corps leader are not difficult. A 2.0 CPA is the only academic require­ ment, but more importantly the leaders must be enthusiastic and energetic. They should be students who are interested in making a difference on this campus and helping studentsmake the adjustment from high school to college life. The leaders will go through two train­ ing sessions, one in April and one in August right before the freshmen arrive on campus. The first training session will be one weekend afternoon and will teach the Appol Corps leaders to build a team among themselves and the process for running small group sessions.

The Summer Job Fair offers students m opportunity to talk with employers ibout local, statewide and out-of-state pb openings as well as internships. Em­ ployers represent four states: North Caro­ lina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennasee. Employers range from temporary service agencies to camps to resorts and twist attractions. Examples of some of the employers that will be present are: Southeastern Expeditions, Carowinds, TheSun BeachService, Grandfather Golf wdCoisitry Club, Beech MountainClub, Blowing Rock Country Club, several area county parks and recreation departments and many more.

Some considered factors « having a good time, making money •nd learning new things. A senior, Disa Mast, looks for a sum­ mer job that is fun. "I look for something thst's going to make my summer as en­ joyable as possible." Another senior, Mark Soule, also com­ mented on what is important to him in a summer job. " I look for something that will benefit me in the future, allow me to fake a little money and teach me some­ thing new." Many students rank money on thenlist. "I want to get a full-time job and make a lot of money so that I can be more financially independent from my fom and dad. Having a lucrative job will "fWe me to spend money on 'extras,'" S|id Buckley Williams, a freshman at ASU.

"It's an opportu­ nity for students to give something back to the campus that has given them so much." It's a good volunteer experience, and I know personally that I would have been lost without my Appol Corps leader the first week of school.

The exhibition opens to the public Feb. 24 and continues through March 20 in Farthing Auditorium. Plywood and projectedimages become art in an exhibit of works by WinstonSalem artists Janet Carkeek and David Helm at Appalachian State University. The exhibit opens Feb. 24 in Farthing Auditorium's Catherine Smith Gallery and will remain on display through March 20. The public is invited to a reception for the artists on Feb. 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the gallery. Gallery hours are 10 am. to 5 pm. weekdays. Call (704) 262-3017 for more information. The exhibit is the most recent in a series of programs addressing contemporary currents in the visual arts. Carkeek's work seeks the "mystical in the mundane" by seeing and rendering wood grain patterns of plywood with ink and pastel. The elegant, systematic and understated works suggest natural topo­ graphical form of the land and sky. She creates her art by coating rect­ angles or squares of plywood with black ink. Carkeek then accents the found cal­ ligraphy of the wood grain with chalk pastels, recently limiting her palette to blue, brown, yellow and orange. Since 1985 Carkeek has frequented lumberyards searching for sheets of ply­ wood with just the right grain pattern. In the course of thisresearch she has become somewhat of an expert on plywood. In fact, she has recently produced a cata­ logue titled "Carkeek's Pocket Guide to Plywood Veneer Grades." Barry Blinderman, director of Illinois State University's Center for Visual Arts, writes, "Somewhat akin tocomposer John Cages's call to 'wake up to the very life we're living' by embracing chance and transcending the strictures of individual taste, Carkeek selects a commonplace material and sets up a controlled system that underplays self-expression." Carkeek has a bachelor of fine wis degree from the Art Institute of Chicago and a masterof fine arts from the Univer­ sity of Illinois in Chicago. She has been featured in numerous one-person exhibi­ tions, most recently at the SoHo gallery. Feature, in New York. She has partici­ pated in group exhibitions including Carnegie-Mellcm Art Gallery's "New Generations: Chicago." Her work is in­ cluded in many private and public collec­ tions and has been published in numerous catalogues and newspapers.She currently lives and works in Winston-Salem. Helm's new work, "Funnybone," is a multimedia installation using projected images of political cartoons, graphs and recorded jokes collected by Appalachian students. His work is concerned with the relationship between information, public perceptions and the artist In "Funnybone" Helm continues his investigation into the process of social­ ization and the adaptive strategies em­ ployed by contemporary Americans in a media-driven culture.

In large cities victims of rape and abuse may have no place to seek refuge. But Boone is fortunate to have an oasis. OASIS, (Opposing Abuse with Ser­ vice, Information and Shelter), has ex­ isted in Boone since 1978. OASIS is a non-profit organization that exists to of­ fer support, information and shelter to victims of rape and domestic violence. OASIS operates a free shelter: a safe haven for its clients. "We are not a social referral agency," said Julie Thompson, director of client services. "Our clients must meet specific guidelines." OASIS has seven criteria for admis­ sion into the shelter. The most important one requires the shelter to admit people who are victims of domestic violence, rape or sexual assault. The people must also he over 16, free from intoxication or communicable diseases and willing to cooperate in shelter programs. OASIS volunteers virtually run thepro­ gram. They operate the 24-hour crisis line, act as advocates, and serve on the board of trustees. Currently OASIS has about 45 volunteers and 12 board mem­ bers. Volunteers go through a 25-hour crisis intervention training program. They re­ ceive training from professional counsel­ ors and law enforcement personnel. Once training is complete, volunteers are asked to stick with the program for at least a year. "That doesn't mean consecutively," said Jennifer Herman, the executive di­ rector. "We have students that volunteer, then go home for the summer. They just donate their time during the school year." The crisis line is staffed by the volun­ teers. During the day, crisis calls are for­ warded to New River Mental Health. After working hours, the calls are forwarded directly to the volunteers' home phones. OASIS averages about 20calls a month and houses about seven people in the shelter at any one time. The maximum number in the shelter is twelve. After that, clients are sent to local hotels free of charge. Board members are also volunteers serving terms from one to three years. Through the years several membersof the ASU community have been on the board. Currently, Dr. Carol Gross, assis­ tant professor of social work, and Linda Smith of Career Planning are on the board. Not only does OASIS offer shelter to their clients, but they act as advocates and give referrals. Through OASIS, a client can find out how to apply for food stamps, contact the Department of Social Ser­ vices and get long term counseling and legal and medical assistance. OASIS does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, residence, physical handicap, politi­ cal belief or religion. OASIS primarily serves Ashe, Alleghany, Avery and Watauga counties. However, they do regularly accept clients from Johnson County, Tenn. "We get crisis calls from males, too," said Thompson. However, men do not stay in theshelter. The shelter isfor women and their children. Males we housed in private homes or in hotels. OASIS is a non-profit organization. Funding is provided through the United Way, federal grants and the city and county governments. OASIS is also sup­ ported through charitable contributions from companies like the Z. Smith Reynolds Co. and The Bryan Family Foundation. The First Baptist Church in Boone graciously donates office space to OASIS. The OASIS crisis line can be reached 24 hours a day at 262-5035. People need­ ing more information, making donations or wanting to volunteer for OASIS can call 264-1532 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 pjn. Faculty workshop improves writing skills By JIM WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer Dr. Donald L. Clark tells an interesting anecdote about his first experience with ASU's Faculty/Staff Writing Workshop. "When I first went in," said Clark, professor of psychology, "I asked (direc­ tor) Dr. William C. Wolff how 1 could write and sound more scholarly. Dr. Wolff responded, 'Write poorly."' While it is often true that scholars will tend to "write poorly" in order to "sound scholarly," that is not at all what the Faculty/Staff Workshops are about The main objective of the workshops is to help faculty and staff members write to com­ municate rather than to impress. And any­ one who has ever read an academic jour­ nal knows that in the battle of jargon, the necessity to communicate is often sacri­ ficed to the desire to sound scholarly. One of the key elements in helping the workshop participants write to communi cate is the diversity inherent in the group. "Dr. Wolff knows technical documen­ tation," said Jane Vick Robinson, a secre­ tary in the Department of Communica­ tion. "But variety is important, too—it keeps it interesting." Robinson has been with the Depart­ ment of Communication for 14 years. She has a specialist degree in Childhood Edu­ cation. a master's degree in Elementary Education and has also worked in daycare. For the past 15 years, she has been writing short stories about her experiences as a mother. Although her writing is not directly related to her job, she has found that her writing and her participation in the work­ shops have had a definite impact on her role in the workplace. "More and moreoften people will bring memos to me for proofreading...and also more often I am asked to write memos— because people know I'm involved in the workshops and know that I can write," commented Robinson. In fact, none of the participants inter­ viewed are writing "for" their career; both faculty members are tenured and thus do not have to publish in order to receive promotion. Clark's main objective in his writing is to share information with an eye toward demystifying the relationship between psychology and theology. "As a teacher, 1 want to try and limit the possible damage that can be done to young Christians encountering psychology for the first time." said Clark. "The work­ shops help...just the fact of doing it each week, of having to bring something in. I don't think I would have written otherwise. The workshop causes me to write." See FACULTY page 6 WORKSHOP OPEN TO ALL FACULTY AND STAFF: Seated from right to left are Dr. Shah Mahmoud, Dr. WilliamC. Wolff, aid Ms. Jane Vick Robinson, members of the workshop.

February ?$ /<XK> LINKvolunteers tutor community students ASU News Bureau Students at Appalachian State Univer­ sity are helping WataugaCounty students stay in school. They are volunteers in LINK, a VISTA program that pairs vol­ unteers with students at risk of dropping out of school. Mary Sue Sposalo, a 1991 ASU gradu­ ate, coordinates the program for the Watauga County Schools, co-sponsor of the project. "The program servedsome 65 eighth-grade students last year,"she said. "We have35 volunteers whohave been working with students since November," Sposalo said. Volunteers from Appala­ chian and the Community Together tutor students, offer companionship and help students build self-esteem. "Volunteers spent at least two hours a week wcxking one-on-one with students," Sposalo said. Last semester, some volunteers spent as many as 10 hours a week working with students. This year the program expanded to serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Expansion means a critical need for more volunteers to help even more students. "There's a big need for male role models," Sposalo said. Asacross the country, Watauga county is experi­ encing an increasein the number ofsingle mothers. An interest in helping others is the only requirement for ACT volunteers. "We have student volunteers whoare majoring in business and marketing," Sposalo said. "Work in LINK is not limited to educa­ tion majors." Appalachian's ACT office, a division of the student development office, trains 1SO volunteerseach semester.Candidates are interviewed and given an introduction to volunteerism, which includes improv­ ing communication skills and informa­ tion about support networks and about the human service agencies involved. Peggy Setzer, director of the volunteer service, has placed students in 30 agen­ cies in Watauga County and one each m Ashe and Avery counties. "Students not only work with human service agencies," Setzer said. "A new area open to volunteers is working on environmental issues." Students have worked with the Blue Ridge Environ­ mental Defense League on sustainable development projects and recycling and clean-up projects on campus. Continued from page 5 tioit, Helm discovers a common ground of mutually shared experience between himself and the public. Helm writes, "In order to portray the substance of a media-filled society each installation (provides) a magnified view of certain elements of life. By placing the audience between exaggerated images of American idols and recontextualized sounds and objects, viewers (are) relo­ cated to an area between questioning and understanding mundane cultural sym­ bols." "Funnybone" projects images of American comedians who have signifi­ cant historic value onto enlarged paint­ ings of political cartoons from newspa­ pers. Telephones, installed on pedestals, play a continuous track of jokes. In this work Helm considers the historic role of humor rod its function in contemporary society. He writes, "Humor is really an incred­ ible thing. It is a tremendous vehicle for resolving tensions or adapting to numer­ ous stresses. It can identify political, eth­ nic or social positions. It can also be tremendously offensive. What I want to do with 'Funnybone' is to examine the various sides of humor, look at its histori­ cal impact and consider its present func­ tion." Helm graduated from Ithaca College in New York in 1981 with a bachelor's Faculty Continued from piage 5 111 Dr. Shah Mahmoud, professor of man­ agement, is the author of "Research and Writing: a Complete Guide and Hand­ book," an authoritative text on how to write in any discipline and for any career, which is due out this May. He has also written editorial letters, articles, and is on the board of several journals, including "Legal Economics Journal." According to Mahmoud, the writing of books is not strongly encouraged by the administra­ tion of the College of Business. • FT .t: V.

The campus has been divided into 20 sectors, rod student groups are responsible for keeping those areas litter-free. "Our recycling coordinator says the project could save the taiiversity up to 530,000 a year by not having to hire people to canvass the grounds for trash." Area nursing homes have requested volunteers with musical,dramatic or dance skills. "It's not just tutoring that's needed," said Setzer. "There are mroy ways our students can use their gifts and interests. Students interested in working with the LINK project may call Sposato at Mabel Elementary School at 297-2512. For in­ formation about ACT and other volunteer opportunities call Setzer at 262-2193. - Mahmoud sees academic writing as "mystified" rod "mostly unreadable." He wishes, through his own writing, to "demystify" academic writing and make it accessible to the student. "So often it's simply one academician writing to other academicians, which is pointless since they already know the information they are trying to share," Mahmoud said. What the participants of the Faculty/ Staff Workshop* seem to know, and what many members of the academy seem The Appalachian tuesdays& thursdays to forget, is that the purpose of writing is to communicate. The content of the workshops has var­ ied widely over the years. "We've had children's books along with textbooks and dissertations," said Clark. The workshops have helpied partici­ pants get their work published and further their careers—notably Dr. Paul G. Kussrow of ASU's Center for Commu­ nity Education and Dr. David Phoenix, now director of the South-East Minority Rural Health Research Center in Atlanta. But the career is not what the workshops are for.

Crowe upped in to replace two-time All South- Apps grab two firsts em Conference performer Shannon Tho­ mas, who has left the squad for the re­ mainder of the season. Crowe chipped in a career and gamehigh 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds to lead the Lady Apps to a 99-97 victory over ETSU. ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson was particularly impressed with the efforts of Crowe, who played just 20 minutes due to foul trouble. "Paula played super. I looked at the stats and saw 25 points in 20 minutes. That's amazing." In addition to Crowe, the Lady Apps placed five players in double figures. Sophomore Jeanne Coker turned in a 17 point performance while junior Sheryl Lynch had 16 points and eight assists. Sophomore Penny Roberson totaled 16 points and seven assists. Junior Regina Ikard added 12 points and nine rebounds followed by senior Mitzi Story with 10 points. "Our kids needed this win," Robinson said. "They worked their tails off for 40 minutes. Our defensive intensity set the tone." The loss dropped the Lady Bucs to 1-7 in the conference and 4-17 overall. Despite a 17 point effort by Roberson, the Lady Mountaineers were simply un­ able to get things together as they dropped a 79-67 contest to Marshall's Lady Herd. "We never really could dictate tempo and do what we wanted," Robinson said. "We didn't consistently play great de­ fense. and we never got on oi offensive track. Because we played in spurts, Marshall just took us out." Crowe shot 100 percent to total 11 points and seven rebounds for the Lady with 17 md 12 points respectively. The victory improved Marshall to 5-4 in the conference and 14-11 overall. The Lady Apps will close out regular season play Friday as they travel to Furman to challenge theleague-leading Lady Paladins. "Furman is playing very consistently and features some of the top players in the Southern Conference. Anything can hap­ pen, and we are taking time to prepare and do what wecan to be ready for Furman.It usually goes down to the wire between the two of us," Robinson said. Apps, and Coker added 11, but it wasn't enough as ASU committed 23 turnovers and played inconsistently throughout the game. "I guess the big difference was that they took us out offensively. We could have played better defense, and we also did not take enough shots," Robinson said The Lady Had was led by the driving force of Tracy Krueger who totaled 16 points, 10 rebounds, eight steals and six assists.

Rob Grant took sixth place in the meet in the 35 lb. weight throw with 47' 81/2". The ASU track team finished the meet with 10 personal records and 16 seasonal improvements. Fershetian said the meet was "a real jood meet for us overall." Fereshetian was also pleased with a few team members' individual perfor­ mances as well. "The jumpers and the throwers really did a good job," he said. "Kedrick (Ford) had the fastest time in the prelims. He had a dad start in the finals but soon brought Ws performance up." The next meet will be the conference meet next Friday and Saturday. ETSU, Western, VMI and Marshall wd' present the biggest competition, ac­ cording to Fereshetian.

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer All good things must someday come to an end. Perhaps this phrase best describes the departure of two-time All-Southern Conference senior forward Shannon Thomas from the Lady Mountaineer bas­ ketball squad. ASU Head Coach Linda Robin­ son announced in the middle of last week that Thomas had left the team and will not be returning for the re­ mainder of the season. This decision is due to a mutual feeling that it is best to end her playing career j at this time. "She is a high-caliber athlete with high ex­ pectations who has been through an extremely difficult year," Robinson said. "Shannon is such an intense competitor, and this year has been very frustrating for ha because she has had so many goals. It just seem­ ed like this was the best thing to do after so much frustration. An all-around athlete from Andrews High in High Point, Thomas was an active competitor in basket­ ball, volleyball and track before being redshirted it ASU ha fresh­ man year after suffering a knee injury during summer AAU play. IP"*Vte - • Thomas tore the anterior ./•|I| cruciateligament, anight /fl| mare of an injury for basketball players. Thomas later injur­ ed her other knee as well and has been forced to undergo ^ Snead paced the UTC attack with a ^^^|8jjJ2jx>ints and eight rebounds. "I thought that Preaton't and Goodman's foul trouble was a huge fac­ tor in the ball game, particularly in the last three to four minutes of the first half," Manzer said following the game. Preston had almost single-handedly kept the Keydets in the baligame, hitting six of his seven first-half shots before picking up his third foul. After getting his fourth pasonal at the 13:19 mark of the second half, Preston was never much of a factor the remainder of the game and finished with 18 points, afta scoring 12 in the game's first 15 minutes. ASU quickly erased any Keydet hopes of a second-half rally by going on a 13-4 run to open the half. Steve Spurlock got things started by ramming home back toback alley-oops. Afta Powas made two free throws at the 13-minute mark, ASU was ahead 55-33. The decision was never in doubt from there, as the Mountaineers simply cruised home with their ninth win in their last 11 contests. "I was most pleased with the fact that we got after it defensively today," Apke said. "What wedid defensively was really the key. "I was not pleased with our halfcourt offensive execution for most of the game." Powers led Appalachian with 17 points and eight rebounds, while Spurlock fin­ ished with a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds. Ross contributed 14 points, while Nedd and Williams both chipped in eight. The Keydets were led by Penn, who scored a game-high 25 points, and Preston's 18. VMI fell to 9-15, including a 2-9 mark in the SC. The Paladins reeled off 10 straight points midway through the second half to take a one-point advantage, but UTC's Bart Redden drained a three-pointer to put the Moccasinsback on top for good at 59-57. Redden's basket sparked a 9-2 Chatta­ nooga run that spurred UTC to a 65-59 lead. Furman sliced the lead to 65-63 on baskets by Hal Henderson and Bruce Evans, but the Moccasins added a 7-2 run to take a seven-point lead at 72-65. Furman again rallied to cut the margin to 74-71 when Steven Hines converted a four knee surgeries, three of which occurred within the last year. In addi­ tion, Thomas has suffered a quadricep strain and other nagging injuries this season. Her laiee problems last season caused ha to sit out nine games afta being rank­ ed in the top 10 in Division I in scor­ ing and rebounding. Because of that, she lost her ranking since she was unable to fulfill the 75 pacent requirement for games played. Thomas is currently ranked third on the all-time scoring list at ASU with 1,495 points and third on the all-time rebounding list with 929. Other career best statistics include a 44-point per­ formance against New Mexico State and a 22-rebounding performance against Tennessee-Chattanooga. Coming off a season that saw her average 20.6 points per game and 12.0 rebounds per game, Thomas was the preseason pick for Southern Confer­ ence player of the year this season. Thomas was averaging 13.9 ppg and 8.5 rpg with a single game high of 29 points. "Shannon Thomas has made outstand­ ing contributions to the program and will always be a Lady Mountaineer,"Robinson said.

Leading only 27-25, the Mountaineers started their late first half run when Ricky Nedd made a layup. Thirty seconds lata, Jeff Williams ignited the crowd with a monster dunk off an alley-oop pass from Rodney Peel on a fast break. Williams then came up with a steal on the defensive end and grabbed an offen­ sive rebound and scored inside to make the score 33-25 with 2:15 remaining. Williams then teamed with Nedd to block a Keydet shot inside, and Tim Powers' transition layup pushed the lead to 10. After a VMI timeout, Jonathan Penn scored on a layup, but the Mountaineers got a three-pointer from Tony Thompson and a 10-foot jump shot from Peel to make the score 40-27 at half time. Both ASU Head Coach Tom Apke and Dave Manzerof VMI, filling in for Keydet Head Coach Joe Cantafio who was un­ able to be at the game due to the death of his mother, agreed it was the foul trouble that the Keydet post playas got in late in the first half that played a key role in the Appalachian surge. "When they lost their big guys inside defensively to go along with what we were doing offensively, it helped us tre­ mendously," Apke said. Starting center Jonathan Goodman picked up his third foul with just aider six minutes to play in the half, and power forward Lewis Preston was charged with his third personal one minute later.

By attributing this title to the month, Americans are reminded of the plight of African Americans and of the need for further education in the United States. This month reminds all of us of a problem that harms society 12 months each year. The problem is racism; and racism is a problem of ignorance. Ignorance reins in the mind of a racist. Ignorance must exist for a person to judge another simply by the color of his or her skin. These ignorant peoplecome in all nationalities, and all skin-tones, just as the others they prejudice. Members of Appalachian State's faculty, staff and student population have the privilege of living in an intelligent community. This community of intelligence should be above the level of ignorance associated withracism. This community should be one of higher education, one that abolishes ignorance of illforms. The recognition of one month each year does not constitute the end of racism; however, such recognition aids in educating each person, and thus could aid in eradicating ignorance. The Office of African American Student Development and the Black Student Association sponsored several programs this month to aid in further educating this intelligent community. Such programs remind the populace that work is underway to erase racism. However, other events remind us that racism has not been curtailed in the United States. The Ku Klux Klan plans to march in Blowing Rock on April 19, Easter Sunday. The Klan has also petitioned to march in Boone on the same day. Such marches remind us that ignorance continues, even in such an intelligent community as Boone. Racism is an evil disease with its main symptom being one of ignorance. A cure is needed to rid the world of this plague. Education can alleviate the symptom of ignorance. The cure can be found and implemented. Appalachian State is an educational community where a disease as socially degrading as racism should not exist. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Should women be submissive to men? This question has been the primary focus of several important issues, particularly those involving rape and sexual harassment. One side says women who are raped should have known what they were getting themselves into, that they were asking for it The other side says that women do not necessarily want to have sex just because they may wear tight clothes, go walking at night or go to men's apartments after dates. Men should be able to take "no" for an answer when they pressure women to do something they don't feel comfortable doing. Other issues also focus on the question of female submissiveness. Religious denominations often have op­ posing views on what the role of women should be in the church. The gist of what St. Paul says in the epistles about women meant submissiveness. They should be seen and not heard, and they should always obey men. Some denominations take theseverses literally. In these churches, women are not allowed to teach men in Sunday school, nor are they allowed to enter the ministry. These restrictions are a little bit ridiculous.Taking Paul literally is ridiculous in the firstplace. Paul lived in Rome in the first century A.D. In his time, there was not even a question about whether women were to submit to men or not. Paul's wonderful letters to the Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians, Galatians and Philippians are still very valu­ able to Christians today. God spoke to us through Paul. But not about the roles of women. Paul's mentioning of the roles of women were reflections of his time, not of God's idea of what the roles of women should be. Jesus Christ himself was (and might I add, is) a great supporter of'women" In the first century A.D. in the Middle East, if a woman was caught committing adultery, she was stoned to death. (My question is, what did they do to the man? It takes two to commit adultery.) A woman, believed to be Mary Magdelene, was caught committing adultery and was tried by the Pharisees, who asked Jesus' opinion. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sincast the first stone." The woman went free. Once when Jesus was eating dinner with a Pharisee, a prostitute, who was crying, entered the house.She washed his feet with her tears, wiped them with her hair and then poured an expensive jar of perfume on him. Keep in mind that this woman was a prostitute, and the man at whose house Jesus was having dinner was one of the most holierthan-thou people existing on the face of the earth at the time. Jesus ignored the fact that the woman was a prostitute and, instead, praised what she was doing for him— washing his feet. The Pharisee had not done this although it was common courtesy in an area where you couldn't walk out the door without getting dust on yon feet. Then Jesus said, "Go, your sins are forgiven." Jesus also healed the demon-possessed daughter of a woman who was not a Jew but yet showed much faith in him. And let's not forget that Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead, was the brother of Jesus' close friends Mary and Martha. Women were not regarded as an inferior or weaker sex by the Son of God, nor should they be by his churches. There is no reason why women shouldn't be able to teach Sunday School or become pastors if they feel God calling them. Another issue brought up both in the Bible and in other areas is the issue of gender roles in marriages. In history we had arranged marriages. The parents, or namely the father, picked a husband for die daughter, sometimes as soon as she was bom. At the appropriate age, the daughter was married off to her chosen man—chosen by someone else. The woman was then expected to always obey her husband and submit to his wishes, whatever they might be. On their wedding days, women would pledge to"love, honor and obey" their husbands until death did they part This vow is rarely used today. The version of it that commonly remains is a promise to "love, honor and keep," rather than "obey." About seven years ago, a popular TV mini-series about the Civil War, entitled "North and South,"was aired. The lead female character, Madeleine, fell in love with one of the lead male characters, Orry. How­ ever, Madeleine's father wanted her to marry an old friend of his, Justin. Therefore, he hid Orry's letters from West Point long enough for her to agree to marry Justin. Orry comes home from West Point for the wedding, figuring that Madeleine had not answered his letters becauseshe was inlove with Justin. He finds out by talking to Madeleine at the reception that he was wrong, that she thought he had fallen out of love with her. But it was too late. Justin turned out to be a domineering and very abusive husband who believed that women should be "kept in their place." This of course was a fictional program, based on anovel by John Jakes. However, the picture is not inaccurate. Women in history were also kept uneducated. Men and women had separate colleges. The belief was that women did not need formal education outside of the three R's. One acceptable job a woman could hold outside the home was that of a schoolteacher. Teaching positions were usually held by"old maids,"unlucky women who couldn' t find husbands. Southern women were educated very little outside the three R's, sewing, embroidery, dancing and etiquette. Some of the very wealthy women attended academies where they learned how to play musical instruments or dance a certain way. Mary Todd Lincoln, wife of Presi­ dent Abraham Lincoln, was raised in a wealthy Kentucky family in the early-to-mid-1800s. She attended an exclu­ sive female academy where she learned to speak French, dance, play the piano and behave a certain way in a social setting. Women have certainly come a long way since then. Today, the female gender is assuming a more liberated role. More and more women are entering the work force in professions that women previously didn't dare enter, law, medicine and science. Along with the more liberated role of women today comes a demand for more respect for the female gender. Feminists have formed groups everywhere. However, these feminists take the demand for more respect for women a little too far. The fight for gender equality is a valid one, but let's make sure we understand that gender equality does not mean that women are always right in every situaiion involving a battle of the sexes. It only means that women deserve the same chance to be right that men have. This holdstrue in job, church and marriage situations as well as situations in which there is a question of sexual harassment or rape. A woman involved in a dispute with her husband, her male boss or someone who tells her she can't teach Sunday School to men, does not have to submit to a male opinion just because it is a male opinion. But neither does she have to stubbornly cling to her opinion just because she is a woman. Both genders have a right to be heard and respected. In the past, the battle of the sexes has sometimes interfered with a fair trial for rape. Both the defendant and the accused have been victims. The defendant, even in situations in which no rape actually occurred, is subjected to prolonged harsh question­ ing as well as having to face the accused at the trial. In the past, women who have been raped and actually had the nerve to accuse their assail­ ants have been asked ques­ tions at the trial such as, "Why were you wearing that tight miniskirt if you didn't Want to have sex?" On the other hand, with the recent uproar about sexual harassment, innocent men may be unfairly accused by women whoare angry at them for some other reason. Sexual crime is an issue we certainly need to pay attention to. However, suppose, for example, a woman is taken into an office by her male boss to be reprimanded. Naturally since the boss is reprimanding her, he shuts the door. We would run into a problem if this woman only had to say, "He'put his hand up my skirt,"and the courts would automatically take her word over tier boss's just because she is a woman and the court is trying to pay more attention to sexual harassment issues. In this situation the boss is innocent. Let's not prosecute innocent people. Women have considerably more equal roles in today's society than they did in the days when they weren't expected to have views that were any different from their husbands. Women are still demanding more equal roles. With the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill hearing, the Wil­ liam Kennedy Smith trial and the MikeTyson trial, sexual crimes have developed into an issue demanding national attention. As we examine these issues, or any issue involving gender roles, we should remember that both genders have an equal say, neither is always right, and neither should be submissive to the other gender. 44 The fight for gender equality is a valid one, but let's make sure we understand that gender equality does not mean that women are always right in every situation involving a battle of the sexes.

Let leaders fight wars By KELU MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer EMcouRtoES VoUDG PEOPLE TO (WE W-oN < < cctl' 5iOM 5 v%0lll&GES PtopUTo fV vy.TH MflcHJS THCOURAGES yoON<3> PE.CRIE To hwe SEX A German man once wrote a book about war. One of his ideas was that citizens should not have to fight. The leaders of the countries at war should be put into a boxing ring and allowed to slug it out.The leader to come out alive would be the leader of the victorious country. The book was "All Quiet on the Western Front." It also made one heck of a lot of sense. With the recent one-year anniversary, people have had to contribute their two cents about Desert Storm. Well, here is mine. The German man made a lot of sense. In his system, one life would be lost instead of the many that are lost in a war. Sometimes people,especially politicians, tend to forget that casualties are not just statistics. They are people. Those dead people have wives, children, parents, sib­ lings, best friends and other people who do no t wan t to see them die. Which would have been better, the German guy's way or the painful way? Something really brought this home to me. When the"where wereyou when you heard?" was going around, 1 remembered where 1 was. I was sitting in my dorm room watching the evening news. They were doing a story about the students at the University of Baghdad. The students were preparing for and taking their final exams. Like college students all over the world, they were cramming and hoping. But, most of alL like all college students, they just wanted to get home and get some of Mom's food. These people were not evil demons. They were college students like you and me who just wanted to get finals over with and go home. Anyway, they interrupted this story to inform us that the war had started. When they heard the news, those Iraqi college students were probably just as scared for their friends, family and themselves as we were for ours. For me, this really brought home how stupid war is. There is a professor on this campus who agrees about the stupidity of war. He believes in diplomacy and talking things out He says, "I may talk you to death but I won'traisemy hand to kill you.'T agree. Diplomacy should be given more of a chance. Asking brothers, fathers, hus­ bands or boyfriends to die or kill other brothers, husbands or fathers should be the very last resort The question, "just what did we get out of this war anyway" is becoming more frequent I won't get into my opinions on that issue. But, I will say that Erich Maria Remarque had a point. None of us want to die. Wedo not want to lose the people we care about either. Those Iraqi college students did not want to die. Nor did they want to lose the people they cared about Wouldn't it have saved an awful lot of grief to have put George and S addam in a ring and let them battle it out? After all it was their war. They wanted it. They should have been the people to fight iL Or, perhaps faced with Remarque's method, diplomacy would have been given a chance. I am not advocating that one should not defend one's country. I am merely advocating that the leaders should find diplomatic means of defending the coun­ try. I realize that the Gulf War is history now. But, perhaps it is a history that should not be repeated. For that matter, a large scale slaughter of other human be­ ings should never be repeated.

Rape polves many people in various walks of It, md if television is a reflection of our oddlike many scholarssay, then rape is a common occurrence and agrowing con­ cern. Forty-four percent of women have been the victim of an attempted sexual assault or rape, or have been sexually assaulted or raped some time in their lives, accord­ ing to a study by Dr. Theresa S. Foley, of the University of Michigan School of Nursing. Of these women, half have had the experience more than once. Unfortu­ nately, only two percent of the reported rapes or assaults end in conviction. The study found over half of 7,000 college women surveyed had experienced some form of sexual assault. A little less than half of the rapes were acquaintance rapes. The victims knew the rapists and let the people in their residences or cars. Alarmingly, thestudy found only about 10 percent of rapes are reported. Accord­ ing to ASU Police Captain Larry Foster no rapes or attempted rapes have been reported this year. "We don't know if it is aproblem, because acquaintance and date rapes go unreported. However, I feel ASU is relatively safe as a whole," said Foster. If a rape occurs on campus and is re­ ported, ASU police would handle the Academic :xcellence iwarded complete investigation. Captain Foster stressed some important points in report­ ing and investigating a rape. "The evidence is important.The victim should not shower or alter any physical evidence,"said Foster. ASU police would go to the victim and take her/him to the hospital to examine for more evidence. The Counseling Center would then work with the victim for emotional support, while the incident is investigated.

An attitude of healthy caution should become habit." Practiced caution is important because over half of reported assaults occur in the victim's residence and involve someone the victim knows, according to Foley. Basic caution given to a stranger should also be given to a casual acquaintance. At ASU, several actions can be taken to prevent a sexual assault from happening.

Community colleges offer low cost and quality, Bishop says By ADAM HATCH Appalachian Staff Writer Transfer students are becoming an in­ tegral part of four year universities all across the country. Approximately 60 percent of ASU's transfer students come from two-year schools or junior colleges, according to Joseph Watts, di­ rector of admissions and enrollment ser­ vices. ASU statistics show that transfer stu­ dents have steadily had both a higher retention rate and a higher graduation rate than incoming freshmen. Community colleges have a lot to offer students who might not want to attend a four-year college or can't afford it."There are many advantages to going to a com­ munity college because of the low cost and quality education," said Eliza Bishop, dean of humanities and social sciences at Caldwell Community College and Tech­ nical Institute, which has a Hudson and a Boone campus. Bishop says that the two-year program is beneficial because of the small classes and the day and night scheduling that seems to work around the students. ASU student Annette Winkler said, "The school was really helpful because you could even go to classes on the weekend." The cost of attending a community college like Caldwell Community Col­ lege in Hudson is S11.50 per quarter hour. Two quarters equal one semester. This cost averages out to approximately SI61 per quarter compared to S628 just for tuition at ASU. Bishop said the reason for this is that at community colleges the students do not have to pay for housing and sustenance.They only have to pay for the actual classes they take. One other reason Bishop gave for attending a two year institute is that students are offered two-year degrees. The high rate of trans­ fer is sometimes due to students that thought they wanted a two-year degree and then decided to go for a four-year degree instead, such as Winkler. The rale of transfer out of two-year schools is sometimes as high as 70 percent. Transferring to ASU is different than applying for admission as a freshman, according to Watts. The university is in­ terested in a student's background as a gauge of how well that student will per­ form as a student in a four-year academic setting. According to Watts, ASU be­ lieves the best system for evaluating stu­ dents is their performance on the colle­ giate level; therefore, a 2.0 is required over two quarters for admission to ASU as a transfer student Transferstudents are not required to submit aSATscore. Fresh­ men have only their high school back­ ground with which to be evaluated. See COMMUNITY page 2 Freshmen tend to be more liberal, survey shows Appalachian Staff Reports More students entering college today consider themselves politically liberal or far left than they have since 1977, a recent study showed. The gradual shift in the political ten­ dencies of college freshmen was attrib­ uted partly to disenchantment with the Republican administrations of President Bush and Ronald Reagan. The 26 th annual survey of college fresh­ men was conducted by the Higher Educa­ tion Research Institute at the University of California at Los Angeles along with the American Council on Education. When Reagan first took office in 1981, more incoming freshmen labeled them­ selves conservative than liberal. But in 1991, 25.7 percent of more than 210,000 freshmen described themselves as liberal or far left. The last time the liberal figure was that high was in 1977, when 26 percent of the freshmen described themselves as liberal. The highest percentage ever recorded was in 1971, with 38.1 percent. However, it remains uncertain whether those numbers will have any tangible ef­ fect on the 1992 elections. "It doesn't mean anything if we can't translate it into votes," said Jim Desler, assistant press secretary for the Democratic National Committee in Wash­ ington. He added: "It does give us more reason to target college students." Incoming freshmen also are showing more interest in different professions.Stu­ dent interest in business-related majors declined to 18.1 percent, compared with 21.1 percent in 1990, and a high of 27J percent in 1987. In addition, only 15.6 percent indi­ cated they plan to pursue a career in some field of business. Interest in law degrees decreased as well, declining for the third consecutive year, to 4.4 percent from a five percent high in 1988. The career trend among freshmen is the medical profession, where interest hit its highest point since 1976, with 6.9 percent indicating a desire to become doctors. "During the '60s, students were more altruistic than materialistic.... In the '70s and '80s that switched. Materialism h not receded, but we've seen a resurgen of altruism," Dey said. "Students wa high-paying jobs, and at the same tin they want to help people out." According to Bob Feid, associate v» chancellor for student development, A palachian State University does not pi ticipate in this survey because univen ties who participate must pay to do s Feid said ASU would have to pay S1,0 to participate.

Applicants must submit acompleted application, an updated college transcript and three completed reference forms to the dean's office by March 15. Teacher education scholarships are provided through contributions to the ASU Foundation.

Also, blue lights installed by ASU police provide a person with instant communication to the ASU police office. An officer is sent to the location in a matter of minutes, said Captain Foster. The second most important precaution found by Foley in preventing rape and sexual assaults is to limit the use of alco­ hol. Rape and assault while under the influence of alcohol is a common sce­ nario. Seventy-six percent of college stu­ dents report using alcohol. Alcohol im­ pairs the ability to reason and make accu­ rate decisions. It is not surprising, there­ fore, that one out of five college women will beraped, and usually by someoneshe knows. If a rape does occur, the victim is left with the decision of whether to report the crime and prosecute. Even if the victim does not want to report the rape or assault, ASU police and the Counseling Center encourage the victim to talk to a friend or family member or call the local rape crisis cotter to get emotional support.

This year the festival will be a two-day featuring the following bands: Queen jtfih Saturday, Vanilla Trainwreck, py Straight Ahead and Mary On the Path. for the last two years, Queen Sarah jjturday has been working hard to make ,9ime for themselves in the Southeast, sl)ch like other North Carolina bands, jy Cornells and Dillon Fence, did in the beginning. Playing clubs and colleges is one of the best ways to garner that attenuon. But thefour member band from Durham ha found that, for them, there is somejlung almost as important as playing live. 'Part of being in a band for us is not only writing songs and playing out, but king able to handle ourselves in the indio well, too," said drummer Zeke Hutchins. "And adapt to that, because it is a totally different environment" Spending more time in the studio led to the band releasing a 7-inch on their own S leestack Records this past October. The two songs, "Nothing" and "Wasting Time, offer a sharp contrast to the Queen Sarah Saturday of two years ago. While their early material was full of jangling guitars and pop-laden hooks, their newer material presents a harder, denser sound that shows their maturity in not only songwriting, but also their musicianship. As we got better, and started playing out more, and got better instruments, we started to grow with the music and with the sound," said guitarist and vocalist Johnny Irion. The newer songs Queen Sarah Satur­ day have been writing have tended to be longer, but it's not something that they have consciously tried to do. "We usually get together with a bunch of parts of songs and try to work them together," Irion said. "But it's hard for us to throw out any of the parts and use them for other songs because we feel like they came to us with that song, and we should keep them with it," added Hutchins. "But lately we have been concentrating on stripping down some of the songs, because we feel it won't hurt it if we shorten them some­ what." While Queen Sarah Saturday were sharpening their songwriting skills, they also built quite a sizeable following in the triangle area, an area of the state that is very hard to get recognition in because there is a band on every corner. "I think that we were very fortunate to hit it right when we did, kind of on the coat-tails of bands like Dillon Fence, Johnny Quest and the Popes. We were just coming up as all of those bands were getting big. and they gave us a chance to open for them," said Hutchins. One thing Queen Sarah Saturday doesn't want to happen, is for success to come too quickly for the band. "We have always said that at times everything seems to be moving too fast for us,"Hutchins said. "Because if it moved See NEW page 5 QUEEN SARAH SATURDAY RETURNS: The New Music Festival will feature the best up and coming bands from around North Carolina.

[ Mrs. Reardon Drinks a Little" explores family relationships The department of Theatre and Dance opened up the semester with a highly occessful run of one-act plays written, directed and performed by students. Playerafters sponsored the plays, and Ihe performances gave justice to the qualityof the written works. The I.G. Greer Arena Theatre allows the audience a close connection with the performers. The small space intensifies lie drama of the plays. If you missed the one-act plays you live another chance to experience a play in the close environment of the I.G. Greer Arena Theatre. Appalachian State University Depart­ ment of Theatre and Dance will present "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little," a play by Paul Zindel, Feb. 26-March 1. Performances will be held in the Greer Arena Theatre beginning at 8 p.m. nightly. Zindel's "AndMiss Reardon Drinks A Little" is a biting, touching and often funny play which probes deeply into the tortured relalionshipof three sisters whose lives have reached a point of crisis. The three Reardon sisters grew up dominated by their mother, after thenfather ran off with a "skinny ostrich wo­ man from Greenwich Village." Time, along with discord between sisters, has erased the closeness of their childhood. Ceil, played by Anne Marie Williams, cut herself off from her sisters by moving out and getting married. Catherine, the oldest sister played by Heather Roberts, has begun to drink more than she should. What brings the family back together is Anna, the youngest sister, played by Amy Lutfy. Anna has been involved in a terrible scandal involving a student at the school where she and Catherine work. Harass­ ment ffrom her students along with the recent death of her mother has pushed Anna to the brink of madness. When Ceil comes to dinner to press the need for committing Anna to an institu­ tion, the resentments of many years burst alive. The unexpected intrusion of Fleur and Bob Stein, a well meaning but boorish neighbor couple, intensifies the action to a shattering conclusion. The Steins are played by Amy Campbell and Jason Gibeau. Also in the play are Doris-Jean Dunn whoplays the busy body landlord and Jay Blanton who appears as the delivery boy who witnessed Anna's breakdown at school. Rachael C. Buckner, a senior theatre major, is directing "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Little" as a senior project. Buckner is the president of Alpha Psi Omega, the honorary dramatics society, and is the director of publicity for the Department of Theatre and Dance. Sophomore theatre major Tim Barker will be designing the costumes for the show. Stage manager for theproduction is senior theatre major Anna Ward. Senior Andi Eanes is the assistant director and freshman Phil Gilreath is the assistant stage manager. Tickets for "And Miss Reardon Drinks A Litxle" are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Reservations are advised due to limited seating.

Farthing Auditorium box office By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer Alvin Ailey once told "Ebony Maga­ zine" that "dance is a positive expression of the human spirit of people who reflect life."To him, dance was more than a form of entertainment; it was a means of influ­ encing and reaching out to people. On Monday night, Feb. 24, the Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble will perform in Farthing Auditorium. The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble was established in 1974 as a second com­ pany. Ailey wanted dancers to work with the members of the Alvin Ailey Ameri­ can Dance Theater while on tour. The group is comprised of promis­ ing scholarship students from Ailey's of­ ficial school and functions as a training ground for the practice and hopeful per­ fection of their dance and choreography skills. Emphasis is placed on a balance between repertoire, technique and perfor­ mance. Under the artistic direction of Sylvia Waters, the company has acquired a repu­ tation of grace and excellence.They have been referred to as one of the most excit­ ing young dance companies in America. Waters was a principle dancer for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater before she began working with the reper­ tory ensemble. "I had no idea it would exist this long," she told"Dance Magazine."Her surprise, of course, was not due to the ensemble's lack of success, but the difficulty of fiJjgnces_in_the_arts. Thanks to corporate and government sponsorship, however the companyhas remained secureenough to continue its performances. The ensemble is important, not only to audiences through-out the nation, but tc the dancers themselves. The Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble serves as a spring­ board in helping each member begin a professional career in the dance field. Whether they go on to become dancers, teachers, choreographers or directors, the ensemble gives them the experience and exposure they need to establish them­ selves. The company performs a variety of unique and innovative ballets choreo­ graphed by such contemporary artists as Talley Beatty, Ralph Lemon, KevinWynn and Ulyssess Dove. Ailey himself also created many of the pieces performed by the ensemble. Alvin Ailey died in December of 1989 at the age of 58. His physical pres­ ence is missed by his colleagues and stu­ dents. "He was like a friend, a brother, a father," said Sylvia Waters of Ailey. "He listened to me." "New York Magazine" wrote, "a great deal of his experience as an individual and as a representative of the black race is related in the dances he choreographed and in the dances by oth­ ers that he commissioned or acquired for his company." And so Alvin Ailey lives on through his American dance theater and his repertory ensemble. His character is ap parent in the dance as well as community services, children's programs, scholar ships, auditions, workshops and outreacl activities. �The Appalachian.

"We did pretty good," commented Head Coach Paul Mance. "I feel there were a couple of weights we didn't win that we should have. It was a good tournament. There were some spots we could have improved in. We were not as strong as I thought we would *ve been, but most of the kids did a good job." The Apps won the tournament with a total team score of 101.5. The host team. The Citadel, secured second place with 83.75 total points, followed by Pembroke State with 76.5, Carson-Newman with 56.75 and Davidson College with 13.5. In the 118 lb. weight class, two Mountaineers placed in the top three. Freshman Mike Orris took * third, and junior Donne 11 Rawls took the champi­ onship. "We all wrestled extremely well," said Rawls. "We were relaxed, and we concentrated. We ex­ pected to win. They knew we'd be the top team there. We thought they'd come out a lot stronger than they did." "Donnel Rawls and Mike Orris were very im­ pressive," Mance said. "Mike beat a Division II All-American from Pembroke State, and Donnell, currently ranked sixth in the country, is now 26-0." Sophomore Bryan McMillan placed third in the 125 lb. weight class. The Apps had six secondstring extras wrestling this past weekend. Four of these six placed in the top four of their weight classes. "McMillan did a good job," Rawls said. "This was his first tournament of the year, and he took third. He wrestled really well." Ivan Neely took fourth in the 134 lb. weight class: V,i<-tr>T Balmaceda took third place at 142. 1^ 'aria and Duke's players excel on the dle c'assroom.

"I beat two pretty good guys. The champi­ onship match was a pin. It's a really big win. He (Bailey) is a really good kid. Everybody wrestled really well. I thought we could've had two more champions. We wrestled good overall, but we had a couple of bad breaks." , Corey Creech took the title in the 167 lb. weight class, and Shomari Rozier took third in the 177 lb. weight class. "I did a real good job," Creech commented. "I basically had a pretty good time. As a whole, the team did a real good job. Everybody did what was expected of them. Almost everybody wrestled up to their capabilities." "I think I wrestled better this weekend," Rozier said. "My conditioning was better, and I had a lot of confidence. I've had an up and down year. Although I think I wrestled well, 1 had no consisSee APPS page 8 UTC storms back in second half for 61-59 win By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor Appalachian State lost a 10-point halftime lead and the chance to upset first-place TennesseeChattanooga on their homecourt Monday night, as Bart Redden made two free throws with four sec­ onds left to beat the Mountaineers 61-59 in a key Southern Conference basketball game. Redden's late-game heroics were set up when Kelly Sutton missed the front end of a one-and-one with 13 seconds left to play. Sutton was able to rebound his own miss, then missed on another shot before Redden was fouled on the rebound by ASU's Billy Ross. After Redden made both free throws, Tony Thompson's long inbounds pass was stolen by the Moccasins to preserve the victory. The loss dropped the Mountaineers two games behind conference-leading UTC and East Tennes­ see State, who both stand at 9-2 in SC play. The Apps fell to 12-12 overall and 7-4 in conference frays. Appalachian had beaten the Mocs in Boone earlier in the season and was seeking its first season sweep of Tennessee-Chattanooga in two seasons. Appalachian led by as many as 14 points in the first half and took a 10-point lead into the locker room, thanks primarily to 53.8 percent field goal shooting and four three-pointers from Billy Ross. The Moccasins were held to just 32 percent shooting from the floor in the first 20 minutes of action. The Apps never trailed until the 5:27 mark of the second half when UTC's Keith Nelson made a layup to give the Mocs a 50-49 lead. Now look at these teams and their coaches. These coaches demand student athletics and win Wit them. Why can't everyone else involved with college athletics do the same? My best (ttess is that they would rather win in the short imthan develop a quality program top student ttheletes want to play for. In my opinion. Coach Bobby Knight of Indiana runs the best basketball program in to country. The program is. successful and |tlean. With all of this in mind, why do coaches insist tying anything different? Think of Duke's r, e "Ktyzewski, who was a pupil of Knight's, uuke is • shooting for it second straight national title and its Program is one of the best in the na. 10n' Wtly anyone would try anything differ™'rf°Vermyhead- The Apps monopolized the 150 lb. weight class with Adrian Hines taking the championship and Kyle Kuykendall taking second. "Adrian and Kyle had an impressive tourna­ ment," Mance said. "They didn't wrestle in the finals in that weight class. It's not a good idea to let two of your good kids fight hard against each other to get a title." Billy Baker took the title in the 158 lb. weight class by securing two pins in his three matches last weekend. His championship pin was Baker's sev­ enth of the year. "I was most surprised with Billy Baker,"Mance said. "He beat a very tough kid in the finals (Spen­ cer Bailey from Carson-Newman). Baker did a good job. He pinned Bailey in the second period of the finals. He was very impressive, and I was really pleased. Billy had to beat one good kid to get to the finals and one good kid in the finals. He (Baker) wrestled better this weekend than he has in the last few weeks." Mocs nip ASU by two Many coaches realize this and cater to these athletes. It is ridiculous to think that college athletics is not a big business. Even with NCAA investigations cracking down on cer­ tain universities, corruption is still the norm, other than the exception. There are exceptions tough. We are in the mid-season of college basketball to March madness is right around the corner, tw teams participating in the madness have hi records of schools such as Indiana, North Carolina, Duke and Arizona. These schools stand out as Division I powerhouses and are insistent contenders for the national champion­ ship. These schools are forces to be reckoned with year in and year out. When Knight recruits kids out of high *h°ol. one of the first things he tells them is £y will graduate or they will not wear the and white. Knight runs the same program that he ran when he took over at Indaina. P'ays man-to-man defense the entire game, 8 Motion offense and his kids go to class, 'makes sure of it. The distractions typical •fWUege basketball do not bother Knight tos players. He doesn't let them. If a young, •Pcoming coach would look to a program as 'model to base his program on, Indiana would 8,1 e*cellent choice. THURSDAY, February 20,1992 App grapplers take Southeastern With the ethics of big-time college sports being such a big issue, it is refreshing to think iliere are still respectable, honest programs left. Few as they may be, their success shows student jdiletes can win games for coaches as well as high-profile high school All-Americans who can dominate games but fail to meet college acadonic standards. College is a place to learn and {row, a place to prepare yourself for the next level you must face. Denny Crum, head basketball coach at Louisville, once said that the kids come to big universities to be noticed and have a better chance of being recognized for the next level. This is sad, but true. Knight once said of his players, "I want him (student-athelcte) to go away and say, w", I learned more in basketball than in any ties 1 took at Indiana. Basketball was by far the most educational experience that I had •hen I was at Indiana. And if that kid says, •ell. chemistry 401 was my best, then I want to fmd out what the guy is teaching in chemistry «1 h^ause I ought to be teaching it in basket btll." THE APPALACHIAN Chattanooga owned a 59-57 lead and the ball with 38 seconds left to play, when Rodney Peel stole Sutton's inbounds pass and dished to Jeff A(ip*act)t*n Photo by Shoo OrtNn Williams fora driving layupthat tied thescore at 59 with 34 seconds left. HANGING IN THE AIR: ASU senior forward Steve Spurlock looks for an open teammate during the The Moccasins then worked the ball around for Mountaineers' victory over UNC Asheville. ASU suffered a 61-59 loss at Tennessee-Chattanooga an open shot until Sutton was fouled by Ross with Monday, to slip to 7-4 in the Southern Conference. ASU will host Virginia Military Saturday at 2 p.m. 13 seconds left. Nelson led Chattanooga with 16 points and eight rebounds, while LeVert Threats hit four-of-eight three pointers and finished with 14 points. "A lot of people will think that because we had a 10-point lead at halftime, we played a great half,'* ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said following the game. "But I don't think we did. We played hard and we shot the ball well, but we didn't really play well." Ross, who scored just six points in the second' half, led Appalachian with 20, while Tim Powers netted 10 points. A bigger story, unfortunately for the Mountain­ eers, was the lack of scoring from point guard Rodney Peel. Peel, the all-time Southern Confer­ ence leader in three-pointers, was just one-of-nine from the field and missed on all five of his threepoint attempts. Peel finished the game with two points and five assists. "The keys in the second half were: one, we didn't score," Apke explained. "Everything on offense was like pulling teeth.Secondly, they (UTC) really went aggressively to their offensive boards. They got a lot of second-chance baskets. That shouldn't have happened, but it did. We weren't! holding our own when they went to the offensive boards." The Mocs finished the evening with 16 offen­ sive rebounds and out-rebounded ASU 37-27. In addition, the Mountaineers made just seven-of-24 second half field goals for a 29 percent. After hitting four-of-five first half three-point attempts, the Apps were able to connect on only two-of-nine in the second half. Appalachian State will now close out the season with threeconsecutive home contests against VMI, Marshall and East Tennessee State before playing in theSouthern Conference tournament in Asheville on March 6-8. The Mountaineers will play host to VMI this Saturday in Varsity Gym, with tip-off set for 2 p.m. Earlier this season, Appalachian State scored an 80-67 triumph over the Keydets in Lexington, Va.

Around the Southern Conference Bucs whip Western to stay in first Appalachian Staff Reports The Buccaneers of East Tennessee State re­ mained in a first-place tie in the Southern Confer­ ence by blasting Western Carolina,96-76, Monday in Cullowhee. The Buccaneers are now 9-2 in the league standings and share the top spot with TennesseeChattanooga. However, the Moccasins have beaten the Bucs twice this season, and would have the tie-breaker advantage heading into the SC Tournament. Senior forward Rodney English paced a balance ETSU attack with 21 points. Greg Dennis added 20 points for the Bucs, who shot 55 percent for the game. Calvin Talford poured in 17, and junior point guard Jason Niblett added 13 points for the Bucs. Western Carolina was led by point guard Terry Boyd, who scored a game-high 28 points. Boyd struggled from the field however, connecting on just seven-of-20 field goal attempts. Boyd, who scored 38 points in an 82-79 loss to Appalachian State on Saturday, canned just two-of-10 shots from three-point range. The Catamounts are now 4-7 in the conference and 9-12 overall. Sluggish Paladins down Samford The Furman Paladins took a break from Southem Conference action Monday and downed Samford 55-42, in alow-scoring affair inGreenv ille, S.C. Senior guard David Stamey was the only Pala­ din performer to reach double figures on the night. Stamey scored 15 points for Furman, drilling fourof-six field goal attempts and two-of-three from three-point land. Sam ford could not get the ball rolling on offense either. The Bulldogs hit just 38 percent of their shots on the evening. Furman is now 14-9 on the season and remains 6-4 in the conference. Bulldogs best UNCG The Citadel picked up its ninth victory of the season, three more than it had in the entire 1990-91 campaign, by downing UNC Cr-ensboro 73-60 in Greensboro.

Just because the victim knows the assailant, does it make it less of a crime? No. Rape is rape. It is a crime with a victim and an assailant. History relates that few victims report rape. A report entitled "Incidence of Sexual Assault/Rape and Abuse/ Violence" prepared by Dr. Theresa S. Foley of the University of Michigan School of Nursing, states that 40 to 50 percent of forcible rapes are not reported. Perhaps the Tyson verdict will change such an estimation. Victims should be By IOSEPH RAYLE encouraged that the system can work. Victims should come forward, bringing Appalachian Staff Writer charges against their assailants.

A person has the right to say no to sex. This right should be granted at any point. Going to a person's apartment, house or residence hall room does not constitute consent. Even if a person chooses to go to another's home, that person retains the right to say no. The other party should be willing to accept "no" as an answer. Do not victimize others. No matter how well you know someone, if that person is not a willing participant, you are committing rape if you force sexual interaction. spent and who decides how it is being spent. The economic policies of the Reagan and Bush administrations have created this weird, unbalanced law of the jungle in which the rich have gotten richer and the poor poorer. Reagan oversaw the spending of bil­ lions of dollars on a military buildup, the likes of which haven't been seen since World War D. Social programs have been gutted with devastating effecton the work­ ing poor in the formsof increasing mental retardation in children, an increasing in­ fant mortality rate and a decrease in the numbers of thechildren of these people to benefit from public education. The list goes on; environmental disas­ ters. the general failure of the public edu­ cational system to provide us with literate workers and citizens capable of making intelligent decisions. It's easy enough to say that all of this is Reagan and Bush's fault, but they had plenty of help from the Democrat-controlled Congress whostood idly by while all of this went on. Do these people really represent us? Did you vote for the drug war?The savage reduction in citizen's rights with respect to search and seizure that has happened over the past decade? Did you know that the government can seize and sell your house or car while you await trial for certain offenses? Whatever happened to due process? Congress spends much of its time see­ ing to it that it gets re-elected. Many bureaucracies have this weird tendency to become self-perpetuating and self-serv­ ing. Take a look at the many offices asso­ ciated with local institutions. In the crush to raise money, which involves helping those who help them. Congress doesn't have much left when it comes to the needs oT the very people they are allegedly there to serve. Recently, a textile worker from North Carolina went to testify before a Congres­ sional committee about the plight of the average American worker. He spent weeks researching and preparing the sevenminute speech he was to give. One Con­ gressman showed.The rest were out, pre­ sumably attending to matters more im­ portant than the concerns of the average American. These people represent us? The rules are set up so that anyone who wants to run has to spend a great deal of time and effort just to fulfill the regula­ tions and monetary requirements so they can participate in our so-called demo­ cratic system. Time and money they could be using to get their messages across to the people, supplying the essential fuel of public debate to the issues we face today. It is truly time to run these people outof office and get people who are more in tune with theconcerns of the American people. The problem that comes up, of course, is that we seem to havefew choices in terms of alternatives. Most of the press won't tell you this, but there are alternatives to the two major parties. I do not, by any means, have a conclusive list, but two other parties that I have seen around are the New Alliance Party and the Libertarian Party. The New Alliance's presidential candidate is Leonora Fulani. I don't know a great deal about their platform, beyond the fact that they seem to be rather liberal, which is something of a break from these clowns that the Democrats have been putting up. The Libertarian Party,on theother hand, can't really be described as either left or right. Their economics tend toward fret trade, and right to work, but on the other hand, they are staunch supporters of civi liberties. Their rhetoric at least talks about taking the Bill of Rights pretty seriously. They have some unique ways of dealing with problems like pollution, such astreat­ ing it as a form of trespassing. Their presi­ dential candidate is Andre Marrou. ; So we do have some other choices this election, and some of them are worth taking a close look at. Get involved, get informed, and make this democracy of ours work for real. Editor's note: Rayle is a graduate stui dent in psychology. Opposer has right to an opinion Reader defends protestor in Union To the Editor I am writing in response to Kelli McHarge's article about John F. Kennedy. First of all the right to peaceful assembly and protest is as much the alleged obnoxious person's right as it is the petitioners. Whether you agree with either of the people's views, they are peacefully protesting what they believe is wrong. I personally believe that the government is hiding something and that action should be taken. However, in the process of finding out the truth we still can't trample on someone else's rights. Booting someone out of the country for an oj^josing view is a bit harsh; I thought things like that only went on in countries that don't tolerate the right to free speech. This is still America isn't it? Moving on to your challenge for me to find an unblemished historical figure, I believe that I have. Raise your hands if any of you have heard of a man named Mahatma Gandhi. Perhaps I should name a more recent person who is not dead, how about Mother Teresa? For you Christians out there, the name Jesus Christ enters my mind also. So I think that I met your challenge and I am now one up on you, or perhaps that should be three up. You caught me off guard with your hysterical qualifications for courage. Back pain now qualifies you for automatic hero status. My father and thousands like him became heroes today; I will be sure to call him right ' away with the news. Come on. isn't that reaching a little bit? I am sure Hitler had a backache once in a while, but I certainly wouldn't call him a hero. People with back problems are just like I others with ailments. They don't get up* and say, "Boy, am I a hero," no, they j just go to work and play the cards that j they were dealt. Kennedy did do well by committing J himself to public service, but let's not * forget where that money came from. ; Grand-dad Kennedy wasn't a great J master of finance, no.

Susan Stamper, the director of health promotions, chairs the recently formed committee made up of faculty, staff and jtudents (smokers and non-smokers). If a rolution is found. Stamper said it will like a long process to phase in die new policy. "The students will play the lead role in developing the policy for campus," Stamper said. "Everyone will beinvolved in the decision. There will be no fast changes. The policy will be livable and fair to everybody. "Non-smokers should not blame or have bad attitudes toward smokers. Everybody has some bad habit. People who have never smoked do not know how addictive cigarettes are," Stamper said. In our health-conscious society today, statistics often show that smokers feel guilty about smoking. Eighty-four per­ cent of smokers think about quitting, but the longer one smokes, the harder it is to quit. Stamper said. As the late Ameri­ can writer Mark Twain said, "Quitting smoking is easy; I've done it a thousand times." The newest method of reducing with­ drawal symptoms is the nicotine patch. It delivers nicotine to the body. Stamper said she has a few people trying the patch now, and they find it very effective.These patches are available in the infirmary. Many resources on campus are avail­ able to students to help them quit smok­ ing. The Wellness Center offers several stop-smoking clinics. The Fresh Start Program by the Ameri­ can Cancer Society is also offered on campus, and Stamper gives individual counseling and phone counseling. She has worked with smokers for IS years. "Non-smokers do a disservice in atti­ tude and approach to smokers," Stamper said. "Smokers do not appreciate being treated less than human. I do not want to alienate people. I want to help smokers and protect their health. Since this is such a hot issue, we need to hear people's opinions and attitudes." The FacultySenate resolution on smok­ ing, as staled in the student handbook, reads: "In the interest of good health and good manners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smok­ ing in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places in which others engaged in their ordinary activitiesare likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." Many students questioned think the resol ution isfair but is not followed closely enough. The Sweet Shop was one area named frequently as poorly ventilated. Tracy Kindley, ASU seniorand smoker, said the resolution was fair. She said, The Sweet Shop should not allow smok­ ing because it is not well-ventilated. Even if there are a few tables reserved for nonsmokers, the smoke gets everywhere." Jeffrey Scott, a sophomore and a nonsmoker, thinks the resolution is not struc­ tured enough. "College students usually smoke wherever they wwu. They don't think of the fact that they are slowly kill­ ing the other people in the same room."

See SGA page 3 By SARAH YATES Appalachian Staff Writer (CPS)—The glamour of smoking is in ashes in the 1990s, and college campuses are taking a hard look at policies, some with an eye toward creating an entirely smoke free environment in the future. Many schools are dumping vending machines, removing ashtrays from sight, and banishing smokers either off campus, or to small, contained areas away from nonsmokers. Tucked in the back of school newspa­ pers are advertisements claiming to help students quit the habit "You Can Do It" or "Let Us Help You Kick That Nasty Habit" spur the headlines encouragingly. "I don't think smoking among college students is considered cool," said Randy Hurlow, director of communications of the American Cancer Society in Wash­ ington state. "It's that they start before they are 18, and by the time they are in college they are addicted." Yet, many college students continue to smoke. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, a recent sur­ vey reflects that in the 20-24 year age group, 31.1 percent of males smoke, and 28.1 of females also have the habit. People start smoking early—80 per­ cent, in fact, are addicted by the time they are 18 years old. Non-smoking activists are fighting to strengthen laws against underage smoking so teen-agers do not become college students with a major nicotine addiction. In December, three studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that the Camel logo, "Joe Camel," captures the fancy of more children than adults and is as readily rec­ ognizable as Mickey Mouse by many 6 year-olds. According to a Dec. 23 article in Newsweek magazine. Camel's cigarette sales to young people rose sharply from $6 million a year prior to using the logo to $476 million today.

"Our entire nation suffers as a result of our ignorance of international languages and cultures," wrote Boren, in a press release. The Senator believes this legisla­ tion will provide part of the means to create the international outlook we must have. One of the most important benefits of the program will be theexpansion of study abroad opportunities for non-affluent and minority students, Boren wrote. Currently, most students who study abroad must raise private funds to pay for their trips. Dr. Gin ton Parker, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs, says the students in the International Studies program at ASU provide their own funds to study abroad. ASU provides very little funding for the students, but it is possible to receive financial aid for the International Studies program, Parker said. Private donations also help to fund studying abroad for the students at ASU. However, changes due to the National Security Education Act will, for the first time, allow college students without inde­ pendent financial means to participate in study abroad programson a massive scale. The undergraduate and graduate pro­ grams receive $12 million for the first year and at least $4 million a year thereaf­ ter. "For four decades, the world came to us and spoke our language.That era is over," Boren wrote. Boren added, 'To compete economically and to protect our diplo­ matic aid national security interests, we need to think internationally." Boren noted that while America has deemphasized education and language skills since the National Defense Education Act in 1958, other nations have beendoing the opposite. For example, graduating high school seniors in Japan are required to have at least two years of English. By the end of the decade, high school students in the European Community wil be fluent in two foreign languages in order to graduate. 150 students delinquent each year in loan payments JENNY HARTWIGER Appalachian Staff Writer *PPr°Ximately 150 ASU students are Attonley General's office each"0*110 year for delinquent loan accounts, wesa Canton, ASU student loan manager.

Statistics indicate that 34 percent of undergraduate and graduate students received some type of loan during 1990- 91. The two most frequently used loans at ASU are the Perkins Loan and the Stafford Loan. The amount of money received from both loans depends on the student's financial need. At Appalachian a combined total of $7.4 million was bon-owed by students from the Perkins Loan and Stafford Loan during 1990-91.

Save a life G * i VT v e b l — o o d Foreign students pursued to boost enroling Appalachian Staff Reports Last year more than 400,000 foreign students, many convinced by college re­ cruiters that an American education is a prized commodity, enrolled at U.S. col­ leges and universities. With a nationwide gain of 5.3 percent in foreign students, U.S. education offi­ cials predict the half-million mark for enrollment is not far away, and some say the number could double or triple in the next decade. Appalachian State University has 62 foreign students, including foreign ex­ change scholars, according to Foreign Student Advisor Tom Adams. "ASU does nothing active to recruit foreign students because we don't have the resources," said Adams. Although ASU does nothing active to recruit foreign students, the university does send copies of Appalachian's cata­ logues to American libraries in foreign countries throughout the world. "There is an alphabetical listing of American universities, and since we start with an A, I think a lot of foreign students just don't look any further down the list," Adams said. "They see we have a busi­ ness department or a good computer sci­ ence program, and they say okay, we'll go there." Some colleges aggressively recruit for­ eign students to add cultural diversity to their campuses, others are interested in boosting enrollment in a sagging economy. "I would say there has been an explo­ sive growth (in foreign students) in the past 10 years, and it hasn't leveled off,' said Paul Crippen, of J. Paul Crippen Associates of Philadelphia, a consultant to a number of colleges and universities. "I think the reason is because the Asian countries rely heavily on us for training in engineering and technology," said Crippen, who predicts that the number of foreign students on campuses will triple within a decade. Despite its intense growth, the foreign student market is still a fraction of the 14 million total U.S. college population. In 1991, 65.7 percent of foreign stu­ dents enrolled in public schools and 34.3 in private schools, according to the Insti­ tute of International Education. In the overall college student population, 80.3 percent of the students are enrolled in public schools, and 19.7 percent inprivate institutions. The reasons for the heavy recruiting, which began in the '80s and is still going strong, are varied: a declining pool of traditional 18-year-old students, the de­ sire of U.S. colleges to teach a global perspective and the fact that most foreign students pay full tuition rates. Many colleges reserve all financial aid for their American students, insisting that foreign students or their governments pay full tuition.Even Christian colleges, which traditionally waived tuition for students from other countries, are having to drop the practice because of the economy. As early as 1974. a handful of colleges participated in overseas "college fairs. Now one recruiter estimates "hundreds of U.S. colleges and universities are rep­ resented abroad. Today, professional overseastours com­ prised of recruiting officers from as many as 15-20 college and universities—usu­ ally to the Far East—are not uncommon. (Asians make up 56 percent of the foreign students in U.S. schools.) For example. Consultants for Educa­ tional Resources and Research, a Wash­ ington, D.C. firm, led admissions offi­ cials from 15 colleges and universities last fall on a swing through Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong and Taipei. "Not only do we attend the large col­ lege fairs in the Orient, we are the only group that goes to the Caribbean islands also," said Pat Kelly, vice president of CERR. Kelly notes that Asian students can usually pay for their tuition, while Caribbean students cannot. If a Caribbean student desires a higher education, he or she has no choice other than to leave their island because of the lack of schools there, said Kelly. Kelly said that organized recruiting abroad has been a successful practice for "about a dozen years" and, with the ex­ ception of the Ivy League schools, indi­ vidual colleges will join a tour to save money, rather than sending one recruiter alone.

' Cation said the majority of thecases do notjo as far as judgements because, "Af^ t loan becomes delinquent the Credit Bureau is notified, and it is very difficult to buy cars, homes or obtain loans." Appalachian has another avenue for collection. The names of those who have delinquent balances are sent to the State Budget Division. When the students are state employees, ASU is entitled to a portion of their paychecks. When the employees do not begin repayments, they will be dismissed from employment. The Set Off Debt Collection Act offers an additional way to collect payment.The tume of the student is sent to the North Carolina Department of Revenue. If the student is receiving a tax refund ASU puts a claim on the refund, and the delinquent amount is collected. Appalachian also has the option of as­ signing a case to the federal government after trying to collect the repayments for 10 years. Bob Baker, ASU controller, said if the students stay in contact with the univer­ sity and let it know of any problems which may hinder the repayment schedule a for­ bearance plan can be adopted. This type of plai makes allowances for students who have extenuating circum­ stances such as periods of unemployment or medical bills. The student may be awarded a grace period and a chance to establish a new repayment schedule. Kim Slate, a loan clerk, said, "We try our best to work with the students and help them out as much as the federal law allows us." Applications for student loans for 199293 should be turned in by March 15 to the Financial Aid Office at ASU. LOST LEASE!!

At Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College in Indiana, the administration did a year­ long smoking study and developed poli­ cies that left the campus virtually smokefree, with the exception of a few con­ tained areas. Students have become increasingly vocal in their opposition to smoking. "I hate it because most college smokers don't have respect for non-smokers," said Angela Miller, 20, a sophomore at Saint Mary-of-the-Woocfc who says she is al­ lergic to cigarette smoke. hi August, aid for the first time in Kirkwood Community College's (Grand Rapids, III.) 25-year history , smoking is not allowed mywhere on campus. A stu­ dent survey showed theresponse wasover­ whelmingly in favor of a smoke-free cam­ pus. The transition to a smoke-free campus is not always so smooth. Tempers flared at Mesa Stale College in Colorado when Gov. Roy Romer offi­ cially declared "no smoking" in stateowned buildings, ending plans for a new smoking lounge in the college center. The ban has created controversy sur­ rounding the legality of the declaration, and many question whether the governor car ban smoking in a building that has been supported by student fees. Though Mesa State can apply for an exemption, it has not done so. According to the Criterion, the school's newspaper. President Ray Kieft inquired as to whether the college center was eligible for an ex­ emption and was told it probably was not. Angry students staged a "smoke-in" in the fall, converging on the student center and smoking furiously for one hour.Their statement: The governor has no right to ban smoking in a building paid for with their money. Smoke-free campuses are not for ev­ eryone. At the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay, the student senate said a loud "no" to a policy that would make that campus smoke-free. Chancellor David Outcalt devised a smoking phase-out plan last spring and asked for the student senate's input by Oct. 1. The senate sent a resolution to the chancellor requesting that alternative fil­ tration systems be researched and thai ashtrays be placed outside of buildings. The Tobacco Institute, citing an indus­ try-wide policy not to communicate with college students, declined to say what was being done by the tobacco industry to counter such anti-smoking policies.

Appalachian anthropology professor, Dr. Harvard Avers, led a group of nine people on a trip to the Pueblo town of Zuni in Western New Mexico to visit the Zuni Indian reservation. The Zuni Indians are a very religious people who still prac­ tice many of their old ways. While in Zuni, the group was able to observe the ancient Shaliko ceremony which is one of the biggest, most important and most popular ceremo­ nies of the Zuni people. Tour buses are now re­ stricted. There were so many people coming to watch the ceremony , it was taking away from the religious aspect. Avers' group took rental cars to the reservation to avoid problems. Four to six cinderblock homes are built on the reservation each year. During the ceremony, the Shaliko men. the chosen men of the Zuni people, bless the homes and other things, such as the fertility of the land. The Shalikos are not gods: they represent ancestral figures. They are extremely moral men, and their basic purpose is to bless the culture. In addition to the ceremony, the group also watched the races between the Shalikos and the "Mudheads," who represent the profane in the Zuni culture. They also got to attend a Shaliko dance which was from 2 aun. to 8 am. m the morning. These events lasted for 24 hours, from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. Anotha highlight of the trip was visiting the kachma murals of Alex Seowtewa. a world famous Zimi painteT who is called the Michelangelo of the Southwest Seowtewa has w orked on the paintings of Zuni gods representing ancestral figures for ova 20 years. The group had the best tourguide around— Alex Seowtewa himself Dr. Avers described the Zuni people as very friendly. "We were treated very well," he said. The Zuni women prepared a huge meal and encouraged the group to eat as much as they w toted. The meal consisted mostly of bread and boiled sheep. Jeff Shuford, an ASU junior, said it felt really good to have such a warm welcome by the Zuni people. As for the boiled sheep, Jeff said, "Actually, it wasn't as bad as1 thought it would be, but I wouldn't want to eat it every day!" Shuford, who recently became interested in the Indian culture, described the trip as one of the most interesting and fun weekends he has ever had. Over the years, Ayers has taken about 300 stu­ dents on Southwest trips. He wiE be leading an other 35 students on a trip coming up in March.

That, of course, means the college basketball season is winding down and getting ready for what's biown as March Madness. (OK, so the Final four is in April, but that's not important right no*-) [bring up this point for a reason. You see most teams that win eight out of nine games Ue Appalachian State has done recently would active a tremendous amount of support from its fans. But last Wednesday night at Varsity Gymnasium was an outright pathetic display of icrowd "backing" the home team. You would hae thought the Mountaineers had lost eight of nine from the crowd turnout. A mime convention had a better chance of breaking the noise ordinance than this bunch. With the game tied at 63, and 33 seconds remaining, UNC Asheville had the ball and a chance to win the game. So how is the crowd reacting to this situation? Half acted as if they were studying. The other half were waiting for uAppalCART. Luckily, UNCA inexplicably threw up a wild shot, and ASU escaped with a 65-63 win. When (onthink about it, doesn't this sound like every kmegame? Oh well, at least that rowdy group* showed up. Heck, even ETSU Buccaneer fans spare lime torn the ball-bearing plant to pack the MiniDome. Marshall and Furman are known lot their strong folio wings. So why is it that more people set the VCR for the Jerry Lewis Telethon than attend an Appalachian State basketball game? Granted, the Mountaineers came back in mid-January from a Bataan Death March—like mid trip with a 4-10 record. But going into last eight's game in Chattanooga, their record stood U12-11 overall, 7-3 in conference play, and the Apps are only one game behind first-place IHt and ETSU—Not bad for a team that got •ntten off more times than three-martini bmches. While it is true ASU does not host Duke or UGLA, (at last report they won't next year, mdw) that's still no excuse for the poor •rnouts.

Apps score two wins Mountaineers nip Dogs, outlast Catamounts By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor The red-hot Appalachian State Mountaineers have climbed above the .500 mark for the first time since the opening game of the season. The Mountaineers have won eight of nine con­ tests, including a pair from UNC Asheville and Western Carolina last week, to raise their overall record to 12-11. ASU stood ai4-10onJan. 13. Appalachian withstood a sizzling performance from Catamount guard Terry Boyd Satirday and held on for an 82-79 win at Western Carolina. Boyd scotched the nets for a season-high 38 points, including 28 in the second half alone, and fueled a late Catamount rally. "We played pretty well defensively. I thought our defense on Boyd was pretty dam good," ASU Head CoachTom Apke said. "He was magnificent •11 day." Appalachian, now 7-3 in Southern Conference action, took the lead for good on a Jeff Williams' layup at the 5:54 mark. When junior guard Billy Ross swished a three-pointer, the Apps owned a five-point cushion with just over three minutes to play. "When Billy made that three-point basket it put a lot of pressure on them offensively, because they were down by five points," Apke said. The ASU lead was 76-71 when Boyd tried to bring the Catamounts back. He canned a threepoint basket to close the deficit to 76-74 with 1:41 remaining. After ASU forward Tim Powers scored to give the Apps a four-point lead, Boyd buried another three-point shot to close the gap to 78-77. Boyd finished the game with a career-best eight three-point baskets. Powers added mother layup to put the Moun­ taineers ahead 80-77 with 22 seconds remaining, forcing Western to call a timeout. The Mountaineers, wary of another three-point attempt from Boyd, shadowed the senior guard with 6'7" defensive specialist Ricky Nedd. As a result, Robert Gaines was forced to attempt the game-tying shot for the Cats. Gaines' shot rimmed out, and ASU's Rodney Peelcame up with the ball. "I'm sure Terry Boyd's name was mentioned more than once during that timeout. He was as hot as a pistol all night long," Western Carolina Head Coach Greg Blatl said. Peel sank two free throws to give the Apps an 82-77 advantage and lock up the victory for Appa­ lachian. Cat guard Maurice Williams added a lastsecond layup to close the final margin to 82-79. Ross paced the Mountaineers with 22 points, including 15 in the second half. Peel added 16 points for the Apps and broke the Southern Conference record for career three-point goals. Peek who hit four three-pointers in the game, now has 225 triples for his career. East Tennessee State's Keith "Mister" Jennings held the record with 223. Steve Spurlock scored 15 for the Apps, while Neddrecordedadouble-doubleof 10points and 10 rebounds. Gaines scored 17 points for the Catamounts, whose three-game winning streak came to a halt.

Fresh-faced Mountaineers ready for baseball By PATRICK SALEEBY Appalachian Staff Writer If you've walked down Rivers Street near the baseball diamond in the past couple of weeks, you may have heard the crack of a bat. That's because baseball season is almost upon us again, and the ASU baseball team has been practicing daily.This year the Mountaineers have many new faces, but they still think they can be a contender in the Southern Conference. After losing all of his starting outfield from last year. Head Coach Jim Morris had to bring in some new help. In fact, there are nine new faces on the team. To replenish his outfield, Morris brought in John Bonner from Rocky Mount and Mike Ramsier of Mesa, Ariz. Bonner is a freshman who attended Northern Nash High School, and Ramsier is a junior college transfer.They will join sophomores John Hodge aid Will Sheltman in the outfield. ASU added many new infielders. Two of these new players, Ryan Cox and Brent Card well, will help secure the comer bases for ASU. Both are junior college transfers. Cardwell plays first base, and Cox mans third baae. Morris also has two other new freshman infielders, Ricky Adams and Jody Boyles, plus four returning infielders. Most of the pitching staff is back, and Dave Gonsiorowski is the newest addition. Gonsiorowski is originally from Shingle Springs, Calif, and will join many upperclassmen on the pitching staff. The Mountaineers have three senior pitchers with experience. Chris Smith, Jim Epler and Johnny McAulay are all senior right-handers. ASU's lane southpaw is junior Wayne Carter. Morris feels that his team cat bea contender, but there are some areas where he thinks his team may have problems. The most obvious is inexperience. Morris, in his 19th coaching season at ASU, commented, "We're very young, so hopefully we can gain experience along the way so we can get some of the untested players in. We hope the young players can gain some confidence." Morris also worries about run production. Out of five playeTs with batting averages over .300 last year, only one is returning this year. Another factor that may be important to ASU's success is their schedule. "We have a very ambi­ tious schedule—we play many tough teams," Morris said. Some of these lough teams include CIemson, Georgia Tech and Tennessee—all three ranked in the nation's Top 25 teams. Right now, Morris thinks that conference new­ comer Georgia Southern may end up on top of the division when it's all over. "Georgia Southern has a good program, and they definitely look like the favorite on paper. In the rest of the standings, it should be a dogfight between four or five teams," Morris said. Morris believes the rest of the conference is balanced, and it should be a real battle for second or third place. The Mountaineers begin play this weekend at UNC Greensboro on Saturday at noon. On Sunday, they face Belmont Abbey at 1 p.m. ASU's first home game is against Wofford on March 1. Lady Apps split tilts stopped being the dominant offensive force that she was in the first half.

Sperber writes. The game was tied at 63-63, when Spurlock drilled an eight-foot turnaround jumper to give ASl" a 65-63 lead with only four ticks of the clock left. The Bull­ dogs called a timeout with three seconds remaining. UNC Asheville was able to get off a makeable three-point shot at the buzzer, but Willie Black's heave bounced off the iron and spoiled the underdog Bulldogs' upset bid.

SMITH >tera Editor WILUAMPURCELL Diversions Ediior University should adopt smoking policy : While such a university policy should be as fair as possible to everyone, iioukl non-smokers be forced to suffer for a smoker's habit? Currently, is it for for a smoker to infect the air which a nonsmoker must also breathe? 11s the current attitude of the university a fair one? The Faculty Senate resolution states in part that smokers should be "thoughtful" about smoking in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas in which the smoke would also affect nonsmokers. Is it fair to ask a group to just be thoughtful when the group's act endangers the health and well-being of mother group? The current resolution is not fair to nonsmokers. Therefore, a university policy should be enacted, and done so as soon as possible. All academic buildings at Appalachian State and all academic-support buildings should be smoke-free. A smoking ban should exist in all classroom buildings, and in all buildings housing faculty, staff and administrative offices. Smokers infect the air inhaled by all. Presently, hallways in classroom buildings are infected with this ill air, as are some office areas. All students should not be subjected to such air. Food Service establishments propose another problem for nonsmokers. Each of the ASU Food Service eateries should be designed to accommodate toth smokers and non-smokers. Such areas should be better ventilated, and 'designated smoking section should be well separated from the non-smokers, perhaps the installation of ceiling fans would aid in ventilating these areas, -ampus Food Service establishments should be closely monitored, and the diversity policy should satisfy the need of clean air, as well as the need for Jokers to smoke. Students can choose where they eat. They can choose to eat on campus or iff; however, no such choice exists in regards to academic buildings. Students nusl attend classes. They must frequent academic support buildings. The ^ students are forced to attend should be smoke-free. The remaining areas fiould be well-ventilated to accommodate both smokers and nonsmokers. A plan is needed for the Appalachian State University campus. Smoking °uld be banned in the academic areas. This ban should be placed in a new diversity policy. Such a policy should be implemented as soon as possible, sm°ke affects each student, faculty and staff member each day.

Were people not obeying the rules about escorting their guests? Did one hall resident too many walk in on a guest and get embarrassed? What was the point? Single-sex halls m general are rapidly becoming m endangered species. It has been my experience, having lived in a coed hall for two years before moving into a single-sex halt that single-aex halls are quieter and the rules are better enforced. (Unforuaiately, the unnecessary rules are enforced as well as the necessary ones.) For those of us who come to college to get an education rather than drink and be as obnoxious as passible every night of the week, singk-sex halls are a necessity. Why does the Office of Residence Life (or whoever is in charge of setting up options in the different residence halls)seem to think that everyone who wants to live on C-option wants to live on a coed hall? The escort policy is provided for the protection of residents, although sometimes it seems as though resi­ dents must keep their guests on a leash in order to follow the policy. It is hard not to fed demoted back to kindergar­ ten when you are told you can't get on the e lev war by yourself in a single-sex dorm of the opposite sex. How ever, there isn't much Residence Life could do to lighten up on the escort policies and still provide adequate protection for residents. As far as the visitation policies go, they are necessary for the residents who want privacy. If no one of the opposite sex is supposed to be on the hall before noon, you know it's safe to walk wound in your bathrobe at 10am. I would, however, advocate the extension of visitation hours which has been proposed w night and on weekends. Also, I wish more single-sex halls were available on campus. Only one, frank, is available for guys, and after this year only Lovifl, White, Belk and Eggers will be available for girls. (The proportion here also seems inad­ equate. There we not four girls to every guy on this campus. Frank is about the size of Belk Who's to say guys wouldn't like to live in a quiet residence hall as much as girls would?) Also, makesome single-sex halls C-option, at least one for each sex. Or make some ind i v idual halIs ineach single sex residence hall C-option. Editor's note: Tarteton is a junior French education major from Wilson. As the public affairs chairperson of SGA, I usually begin my letters with "on behalf of the Student Government Association..." Let it be known that this letter in no way represents the thoughts and convictions of SGA. It does, however, represent my thoughts as a very concerned student. SGA has been examined in the past few weeks by The Appalachian. Or should I use the terms "attacked" or "scrutinized over?" It seems that everything the Student Government attempts to do for the students is criticized. Can we do anything right? Yes. we can! But the things benefi­ cial to ASU students are usually never recognized. SGA did a phenomena] job "Yes. yes. Very nice." "Kick it! Real hard." "An old reliable. Continue." "Unplug it." "I'm sorry but we found that provi ineffective because people plug it back i A good first try though." "Rip the knob off." "Bum the plastic with a lighter." "Put a rock in it while it is on." The leader nodded his head. He wi very pleased. "I see that all of you are old pros mindless vandalizing. I am impressed tk you were allowed into Appalachian. I ca tell this is going to be a good year. Wei that is enough for tonight, we are rurmin a little long, and I don't want to mil 'Smokey and the Bandit' on TBS. We wi adjourn this meeting." Everyone got up with their pieces c paper, crumpled them up and threw trier on the floor. "One last thing. On your way up th elevator, please refrain from holding dow the alarm button." Many of the group moaned. This is a secret meeting, and I don' want to raise any disturbance. You cti however, pour a soda an the Door afte everyone has gone up." "Heoray!!" The Appalachian's coverage with the food and clothing dnve last fall. We raised money for the United Way in conjunction with the East Hall Dorm of Doom." And how manv students flip their ASU I.D. through a Coke machine daily? Yes, SGA had a part of that also. The Appalachian did an article on the new Pizzeria pizza delivery. Thank you! That too was implemented by SGA. • I totally believe in free press and the rights of the student to know what is going on. I also believe in the spirit of the Student Government Association. It is not the total fault of SGA that student response is so low . Every interested student is invited to the Student Government Senate every Tuesdav evening at 6:15 p.m. in 104 Whitener Hall. If a student absolutely cannot attend these meetings, a video is atred on Appalnet every Wednesday at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. and Thursday at 11 am. on channel 21. Any questions are also welcomed on the second floor of Workman Hall. Finally, a note on the SGA VJ.P. Discount Cards. After speaking with Tom O'Neil of V.I.P. Ltd.. he clarified that it was no fault of SGA that the VJ.P. cards arrived late. A representa­ tive from this company First contacted SGA in October. Merchants were then contacted, a process which took approximately six weeks. After the businesses were acquired, the cards spent several weeks at the designer and then several more at the printers. SGA had no control over their arrival. Upon their arrival, SGA was m charge of the distribution. I was put in charge of this process. V.I.P. Ltd. allocated SI00 for their distribution. When I checked with the director of the post office, the cost would be 10 cents per card to deliver to each student. The overall cost would be SI, 100. VJ.P. Ltd. had not acquired the funds for this amount, and SGA could not afford the difference. Therefore, the distribution was handled in the best way possible. Cards are still available on the second floor of Workman Hall. y V If anyone would like to be involved at ASU, please take an interest in SG/ Sun with the presidential/vice presidential elections on March 25 anc 26. Everyone at ASU can make a difference. Terie McHale Public Affairs Chairpenan-SGA ASU Box 8431 Additional housing unneeded for greeks To the Editor Recently. I was informed by mv Campus Resident Student Association representatives that various fraternities and sororities have requested more housing on campus, specifically, the two remaining non-greek floors of Con See LETTERS page 10 �The Appalachian. Tu*xda\. Frhrunrv jocn Letters Continued from page 9 Residence Hall. They make this request for extra housing on two grounds: the housing is necessary to increase their sibling morale and, because there is an old Boone ordinance prohibiting more than four women renting living quarters together, sororities cannot obtain it otherwise. Our CRSA representatives also made it known that, should this housing be granted to the greeks, ASU would no longer be able to guarantee housing for incoming freshmen. From what my friends tell me of the Boone housing market, this move would be grossly unfair to freshmen. The I'ted stresses of finding and leasing an paxtment and keeping up the rent would make the already difficult transition to college even worse for som^ students. Living off-campus means relying on vehicular transporta­ tion to get to classes; since freshmen currently cannot obtain an on-campus parking space, they would have to rely on die AppalCART, rent a parking space in town or make frequent trips to Stafe Farm. Since students need to maintain decent grade point averages to remain at ASU, their needs should take precedence over the requests of extracurricular organizations. If sororities really want to have their own separate housing, let them use their large membership to lobby for the overturning of the 'bordello' ordinance. If fraternities want their own separate housing but cannot afford it, let them use their ranks to raise more money. It would be a pity if their loyalty to their organizations would falter if they could not live together—if fraternal and sororal feelings are so lacking, why have they joined these organizations in the first place? In closing, guaranteed housing for freshmen is a far more important priority for CRSA than greek together­ ness. Hopefully, CRSA will, by keeping freshman housing, act for the whole student body and not pander,to the desires of the few. Females can also experience bonding To the Editor It was a normal Tuesday afternoon when I sat down to read The Appala­ chian. I was not expecting to find anything that would upset me, but I did in the article "Male bonding has no equivalent for females" that was run on Ian. 28. I was appalled by the broad and incorrect view Brian Winkler took when he wrote that article. It seems to me that Winkler did not know what he was talking about. He tells us women cannot spend a night out with just other females and have fun, and I tell you he is wrong. Women, think back on your fondest memories, and you will see that many of them have to do with a day or a night out with a great girl friend. Women make as good of friends as men. I challenge you men to tell me (or another girl) all the memorable experiences you have had with your WEDNESDAY'S 9:00 p.m. Kristina Boylan ASU Box 11886 Hems Buttons "buddies," and I bet that we can ten yon as many or more. Winkler says that women can't have fun together and cannot be honest with each other. Again he is wrong. I could never lie to a good friend (girl or guy) of mine because I have learned how valuable friends are. I want my friends to trust me as much as I trust them. Women have so much in common—like trying to understand you men and many other more important issues. It is wrong to suggest we do not bond. I would like to say more about this issue, but I want to go chill with my $5.00 Admission to Comedy Zone Nancy Beuttel^N 264-0059 104 Grove St. Boone, NC 28607 f r\J UyjftJniWvm Seams LOUNGE Zippers Featuring Headliners Feb. 19 AlKatz Eeb. 2® Ken Evans with Gallagher II at High Country Inn Hwy. 105-South, Boone 264-1000 hen at 10:30 p.m. experience i Following Comedy Zone with DJ Bridger MedHn Applefree Ap^rtnients STATE OF THE ART LIGHT AND SOUND SYSTEM NOBODY'S EVEN CLOSE Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished Check out the • 2 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms hq NEED TO • Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit REGISTER • Dishwasher CARS ON • Washing Machine & Dryer CAMPUS • Microwave • Ceiling Fan O /T O . |T O ^ ^ • Disposal ^ ~ 21 and over only Proper attire required Wednesday Ladies Night 5 Ladies Free, Guys $1 S3.50 Pitchers Ladies Free, Guys SI 12 81.25 16 oz.

NELSON Appalachian News Editor ad By CINDY GRIMES Appalachian Staff Writer ASU psychology department faculty questioning the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator test being used by residence life D determine personality types to match tnidents who do not specify a roommate preference. ye Psychology professor Dr. Polly Tmavsky said the test is not designed to match roommates and is not being admin­ istered correctly. The test is supposed to be given by a trained person, who reads the test ques­ tions to the test takers, Trnavsky said. At ASU, the test is currently given by stu­ dents picking up applications and return­ ing them, without the help of a test administer. However, Brad Reid, director of resi­ dence life, defends the MBTI as an indica- tor. Of the 714 students at ASU to which the test was first administered to last year, 43 students requested room changes, compared to 100 requested changes from 735 students who were paired ran­ domly. Tmavsky, offering another explanation for the effectiveness of the test, said there may have been a placebo effect, meaning that students who knew they were paired by the MBTI made an effort to get along with someone like themselves since they believed it was expected. Reid admits there is a better system than the MBIT. "Mutual selection of roommates is the best route to go," he said. While it has been rumored that students who request a roommate to which they are not Myers-Briggs compatible do not re­ ceive their choice, Reid said this is not the case. Often, Reid said this concern leads to collaboration on answering the MBTI. Reid believes this defeats the purpose of taking the Mvers-Briggs test, since it can SGA hears be used as a learning tool for each student to understand their personality type. While even students who request a roommate are encouraged to take die MBTI, the test is optional for all students. Reid said that ethicallystudents must con­ sent to taking the test and have the right to refuse. Reid offered several advantages of tak­ ing the MBTI. Reasons for taking the test, even if a roommate is preferred, would be in the case of unexpected circumstances where the roommate does not return to school. Another reason would be to learn more about each person's personality type, Reid said. Residence life offers interpretation meetings after the tests are read, Reid said. There students can go to find out exactly what their MBTI is by an inter­ preter. ASU began using the MBTI to match students after researching the test's effec tiveness at Davidson College, which had positive results with the test, Reid said. WASU bombarded Campus station flooded with requests By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor At the Feb. 11 student government meeting Director of State Affairs Dan Gurley reported on the state legislators' ideaof requiring in-state students who do sot graduate in four years to pay out-ofstate tuition, and a friendly amendment was made to the inclement weather policy bill. Gurley pointed out Section nine, Benefits of public institutions of higher edutation, of the Constitution of North Caro­ lina. "The General Assembly shall pro­ vide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institu­ tions of higher education, as far as pructicible, be extended to the people of the State free of expense." "I think that we all agree that it's not practicable right now for education to be itte of expense, but we can certainly en­ deavor to make it as cheap as possible," said Gurley. Gurley said he has met with ASU Chan­ cellor John Thomas to discuss the state legislators' idea of increasing tuition for in state students who do not complete tor education in four years. According to Gurley, Thomas is opposed to the idea. Director of Student Affairs Doug Duncan accepted a friendly amendment to the inclement weather policy. The desired outcome of the friendly "nendment is to have the university's iclement weather policy revised by a Suiting committee made up of the vicechancellor of business affairs, director of Went health services, director of public "fety and security, and a weather special81 to include a temperature and a wind •toll floor which the university will use as •guide in decisions on whether to cancel Masses. Tito third appointment to the elections committee was confirmed. Sam '•chtenburg, an off-campus senator, d the last vacancy on the elections board, By TRACEY COFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer With hopes of introducing the latest chart-breaking group to the public, record promoters bombard college radiostations such as ASU's station WASU with re­ quests to play a certain artist or album. Ever since R.E.M., the Athens-based alternative band, hit the big time via col­ lege radio, people with a variety of inter­ ests have been playing tug-of-war with college stations. After R.E.M. made col­ lege radio play lists nationwide in the early 1980s, bands saw the potential for success in targeting university stations. But that has meant a virtual saturation of the market "We probably get at least 40 or 50 calls from standard record representatives ev­ ery other week, and that's just from com­ panies like Columbia or Epic—the major labels," said Spencer Knight program director for WASU 91 Rock. In addition to hearing from representa­ tives from the larger companies. Knight and others at WASU also regularly re­ ceive calls from hired marketing agen­ cies, as well as from the smaller recording labels trying to get a break through col­ lege radio. In total, the WASU staff re­ ceives an average of 50 calls per week. "From a band's perspective, it's (the calling) anecessary evil. If you can get on 30 (college) stations' lists, that will help you with the bigger stations," said Troy Trinkle, lead singer of the Mere Mortals, a Bloomington, Ind., band. Initially, the representatives who call college radio stations are checking to see if a station has a particular record. If not, the station will be sent a copy. Once the album is circulated, promoters look for stations playing the album and audiences that want to hear it. According to Gary Landis, vice presi­ dent and director of programming for ROCKING THE MOUNTAINS: WASU worker Amy Campbell helps Rock 91 pump out the tunes, ranging from alternativemusic Westwood One Radio Network, college to jazz.

Conslitution sic scene is fairly easy to monitor because most college stations, including WASU, report weekly to the College Music Jour nal with a list of their top 35 albums. "They (college stations) are now viewed as a definite area for the advanced expo sure of many different bands, both new bands and those ignored by the main­ stream," said Landis. College radio stations have more flex­ ibility than commercial stations because the Federal Communications Commis­ sion prohibits them from airing advertise­ ments. The additional air time and the notion of college radio as both a musical and educational enterprise have allowed for creative programming. College music formats feature alterna­ tive music, punk/hardcore or hard rock that has not hit the popular airwaves— at least, not yet. WASU is basically used as an outlet for music overlooked by commercial stations. Knight said. Judging by the success of The Police and Elvis Costello, bands premiered on college radio about 10 years ago, campus stations can be an influential training ground. "Of all the music we get, and we get just about everything that is coming out, we probably program less than 25 percent," said Knight. Along with the normal pressures pro­ moters place on college stations, WASU is faced with an added burden due to its Boone location. Chad Lacy, who hosts the Friday night rap program on 91 Rock, said, "As far as the college rock scenegoes, I think WASU is highly regarded across the nation. Through the grapevine, everyone is talk­ ing about North Carolina becoming the new rock hot spot. Bands we're used to hearing all the time, like the Connells or Dillon Fence, are just now being heard by people in other areas. Just because we're here, people are looking to us to find out what's going on." and work on their deficiencies when they Despite the less stringent admission get here than deny them admission at all. standards for transfer students, they gradu­ Watts explained ate at a higher rate the community col­ than entering fresh­ lege system offers men, according to students a second Watts.

"Appalachian has focused more time, energy and resources in the past few years on advising students," Watts said. Academic advising at ASU serves to in­ form studentsof expectations and require­ ments and to give advice on course selec­ tion and taking advantage of campus re­ sources. Junior transfer student Debbie Sluder told of her experiences when she first arrived at ASU. "I registered two days before classes began.

Watts explains that in some ways trans­ fer students are similar to entering fresh­ men; for many transfer students, being at ASU is the first time they have lived away from home for an extended periodof time. Forty percent of ASU's transfer stu­ dents transferred from other four-year schools, said Watts.

(CPS)—Think twice about giving your sweetheart a box of candy for Valentine's Day. A Texas A&M psychologist says depression—not adoration—may result. Dr. Larry Christiansen, who has con­ ducted research on the link between sugar and depression, said he has found that eliminating sugar from the diets of de­ pressed peoplecan substantiallycurb their depression. In his book "The Food-Mood Connec­ tion: Eating Your Way to Happiness," Christiansen says that dietary interven­ tion can often determine what chemicals may be causing your case of blues. "In terms of mood disorders, particu­ larly depression, caffeine and sugar can have a devastating effect in terms of cre­ ating depression,"said Christiansen, who has studied the diet-mood connection for the past 10 years. He pwints out that "individuals who feel fatigued, go to bed for eight hours and are still tired,someone who is moody, and people with ongoing headaches" are among those who may be what he terms "sugar or caffeine sensitive."

The author suggests that pieople elimi­ nate both sugar and caffeine from their diets, then gradually introduce one ele­ ment back into their system and watch for sympitoms. "Caffeine is not a stimulant for every­ one," said Christiansen, who also said he has found that pieople more often are sugarsensitive than caffeine-sensitive. Christiansen warns that withdrawal symptoms may be experienced when pieople drop sugar or caffeine from their diet. "They mayget shaky, and the change may be gradual," although one woman told Christiansen she could "name the hour"she started feeling better after elimi­ nating sugar from her diet.

By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Valentine's Day is here. Bah Humbug! This is the one day of the year you either have io love or hate. There is no middle ground in the world of love. You either have that special someone you can do all the mushy stuff with, or you are alone. If you ire alone it is the perfect opportunity to bash the opposite sex for all the stupid things they do. If you are not alone, then you are trapped in the commercial holiday that can hurt your pocket as much as it can heal your heart. There are tons of symbols of the love this holiday is all about. You have the fat little baby in the saggy pants who always seems to miss the target you were hoping for. You have candy of all shapes, sizes and fla­ vors. Remember those little candy hearts that have little phrases like"Be Mine" and "Love you" on them? They have anew version this year with the phrase "NOT." Before the last item is off the Christmas clear­ ance shelf, you begin to see the stock turning colors from Christmas green to Valentine's red. Hearts are everywhere, on cards andballoons,and ifit'snot printed on the item, then the item is in the shape of a heart. Valentine's Day is all about love. Out of all the ways to show your Valentine's spirit, flowers, candy, cards, etc., etc., etc., there is one symbol that sums up the entire Valentine's Day ritual in one word. Kiss. Whether it's that first innocent kiss on the monkeybars in third grade or the one night stand you barely remember last Saturday, the ultimate symbol for love is a kiss. What is a kiss? Hopefully we all know by now, but how do you describe it? You can't merely say well, it's wet, how rude! Many writers have tried to describe what exactly a kiss is in words. It is harder to describe than to perform. Try it for yourself. A kiss. A kiss is the anatomical juxtaposition of two orbicularis muscles in a state of contrac­ tion. A course of procedure, cunningly devised for the mutual stoppage of speech at a moment when words are superfluous. A kiss is a comma, a question mark and an exclamation point. A contraction of the mouth due to an enlarge­ ment of the heart. Something you cannot give without taking ®d cannot take without giving. A pleasant reminder that two heads are better than one. A word invented by poets as a rhyme for bliss. A secret told to the mouth. A sure sweet Cement, even glue. A vigorous exchange or simple osculation. Prelude to a grand symphony or prologue to verse. A rare medium well done. A gracious and beautiful erotic art. Like war, easy to begin but very hard to stop. A ghastly wine freshening and fortifying the ™"x's of its chosen and raising them beyond ught or care of worldly allurement A little haven of refuge from the world.

The inspiration for verse with time to rehears, Montgomery is accompanied in many vocal styles from classic opera to jazz. She has per­ formed in "Madame Butterfly," "The Bartered Bride, TheMcuy Widow" and'TheMarriageof Figaro. Montgomery has also been a featured soloist with many orchestras. Accompanied by pianist Carolyn Richie, Montgomery's performance incorporates a variety of costumes, dramatic and comic dialogue and music. The show includes a medley of wellknown Broadway showtunes from the past three decades. Since 1980, Montgomery has programmed, ad­ ministered and produced her own scries of variety programs including "Martha and Friends," "The Joy of Voice and Song" and "An Evening of the Classics in Song and Costume." In a telephone conversation with Montgomery, she enthusiastically explained the nature of her show and expressed her delight in the opportunity to sing at ASU. From classic opera to jazz, Montgomery is ac­ complished in several vocal styles. Her shows are characterized with variety, class, a bit of comedy and a closeness with the audience. "Broadway and All That Jazz" is a new show featuring Montgomery, pianist Richie and narrator Les Wallace as they take the audience back in time, through the history of Broadway. The show will begin with the opening number and a comfortable chat with the audience. Mont­ Students write, perform and direct in Festival By JASON GILBERT Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's Playcrafters is sponsoring the eighth annual New Playwrights' Festival Feb. 13-15.

Will the sudden success of Nirvana prove fatal to their true fans? I believe it already has. As of late, many different factors have caused bands to stray from the reality of what got them where they are today: their true fans. Guns N' Roses and Metallica are fine examples of bands that have changed immensely after com­ mercial success was achieved. Why is it hard for these bands, who come onto the scene preaching about the honesty of their music, to continue writing good, solid music? The almighty dollar plays a large role. No matter how serious a band is about their music, the dollar always lights up their greedy little eyes. It seems today that a few groups would rather sell out and forget their real fans by going where the money Ls. Guns N' Roses, for instance, sold millions of copies of"Appetite for Destruction."Look at when they sold the most copies though. After the release of "Sweet Child O' Mine," sales skyrocketed. People began piling on the Guns N' Roses band­ wagon. Compare "Appetite for Destruction" and the two new releases. The band took over four years to record these two albums, and it is nothing like "Appetite for Destruction." They added every­ thing from choirs to a clavinet on the new albums, none of which were on Appetite. Guns N' Roses made music to make money; in other words, they sold out. Look at the band now. There are only three original members left. Doesn't that say some­ thing? The band that broke all the rules and couldn't even get radio airplay in the early years is now on MTV and the radio every 30 minutes.

Montgomery will leave the stage after each segment tochange her costume giving narrator Les Wallace the opportunity to introduce the tunes that will follow. "Broadway and All That Jazz" features an array of familiar songs from a variety of famous shows. For example, Montgomery will don her Swiss Alps costume and perform songs from "The Sound of Music." The audience will even be given a singing lesson as she leads everyone in "Do-reme." The show will also feature "There's No Business Like Show Business," "I'll Play For You" and a surprise performance from pianist Richie, "The Maple Leaf Rag." You'll also recognize songs from "Show Boat," "The Merry Widow" and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Cats." Montgomery is looking forward to re-visiting the mountains, as well as performing on Thursday night. She currently resides in Florida, where she busies herself with planning new shows and per­ forming with the Florida Orchestra. The restof her time, of course, is occupied with traveling and performing. She's been to our area before, and Blowing Rock and Beech Mountain are familiar to Mont­ gomery. Although Montgomery has not performed out­ side of the country, she has studied abroad. She acquired a particular fondness for Gratz, Austria, and would like to return someday.

Special to The Appalachian Dudley Moore makes his label debut with "Songs Without Words." Musically inclined since the age of five, Moore is an internationally respected and admired composer and performer. As one of the music world's most accomplished artists, Moore's work has been celebrated and appreciated from his many classical and jazz al­ bums to his concert performances and film scores. On "Songs Without Words," Moore has com­ piled a collection of instrumental ballads. By col­ laborating with saxophonist Kenny G. on two of the pieces and by re-introducing music from his film "Six Weeks," as well as adding several origi­ nal compositions, Moore has produced a unique album. to be in such inspirational surroundings, attending Magdalen." Moore received both a B.A. Degree in Music and a B. Mus. (Music Composition) from Oxford, and upon his graduation in 1958 joined the Vic Lewis Orchestra, a jazz band in London, for which he played the pi ano. The band loured England, then went to the United States to perform. When the band completed its New York dates, Moore remained behind to play at The Duplex, a small, intimate jazz club in Greenwich Village. Moore spent the next few years just trying to survive. "I did most anything," he said. "I wrote commercial jingles for Pepsi and Pepsodent tooth­ paste that played in the West Indies. I wrote an original ballet for the Western Theatre BalletCom­ pany and worked as the resident composer at the "Current songs are so specific," said Moore. "These "Songs Without Words' allow the listener to use his own imagination and decide for himself what the music means and what moods are pro­ voked by the sounds." In arriving at thislastest point of releasing "Songs Without Words," Moore has drawn extensively on his impressive musical background. Born in Dagenham, Essex, near London, Moore was a choirboy at the age of five. As soon as he could clamber up onto the bench, he was playing the piano, and by 10 he was studying the violin with a local music teacher. At 18 Moore's considerable musical abilities won him an organ scholarship to the prestigious Magdalen College, Oxford University. "It was a dream come true," said Moore. "Oxford was a beautiful place, and I realized how fortunate I was Royal Court Theatre in London. I was busy creat­ ing work for myself." In 1969 Moore was invited to become a part of an innovative revue, "Beyond the Fringe." Origi­ nally staged at Scotland's Edinburgh Festival, the satirical collection of skits and music brought together the talents of Peter Cook (Moore's subse­ quent long-standingcollaborator). Jonathan Miller, Alan Bennett and Moore. "Beyond the Fringe" played in London for two years before it became a huge hit on Broadway at the Golden Theatre, ultimately winning special Tony Awards. "Although we were a smash hit in New York, I was surprised and a bit disappointed that I wasn't flooded with film and television offers," Moore said. "1 remained in New York to play the RainSee ACTOR page 4 �-1'he Appalachian Thurviax. F,hriiary j ? jnrn Continued from page 3 The true fans see what's going on and won't succumb to blind faith. Now let's look at Metallica. As of now they have released two ballads off their latest album. How many ballads have they released before this album? None. How many albums have they released? This is their sixth release. This is the band that was glad to not get any radio air-play so as to not conform. What happened? Metallica would have been my last guess as a band to sell out. It seems like no one is willing to take a stand in the hard rock scene anymore. When the record companies start flash­ ing green, the bands conform to their re­ quests. Nirvana is quite a strange situation. They have a great album, but I don't think the majority of "Nirvana fans" are true fans. It seems everyone talks about Nir­ vana and their sudden success, not the band, not the music. I think that the majority of people like "Smells Like Teen Spirit," not Nirvana. MTV and radio stations have proceeded to nm the song into the ground beyond be­ lief. Nirvana's mentality is quite strange also. An interview in "Rolling Stone"said their bass player called the largest part of Nirvana fans "dumb kids." If he feels this way about his fans maybe he should give up playing live, because that is who comes to see the shows. The big question is, will Nirvana suc­ cumb to the spell of commercial success? It is hard to tell, but I'm willing to lay money down that they will not be the same band when their next album is released, if their next album is released.

Moore began recording and releasing jazz albums and found an appreciative audience with records such as "Genuine Dud," "Dudley Moore at the Wavendon Festival," "Dudley Down Under," "The Music of Dudley Moore," and the very popular "The Other Side of Dudley Moore," which became the biggest sell­ ing jazz album of 1965 in England.

"In the second half, or, actually in the last five or six minutes of the first half, things changed for us. I don't know whether we wore them down or just played better defensively."

Spurlock led all rebounders with 15 boards. Appalachian inks 23 gridiron recruits By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor Appalachian took its first lead of the contest assophomore forward Ricky Nedd laid it in at the 19:14 mark of the second half. The Mountaineer lead crept to six and settled at four midway through the second half when the officials charged Apke with a technical foul. Bulldog senior guard Todd Holstein missed both free tosses at the 10:16 mark, and then The Citadel turned the ball over on the ensuing possession. "I felt there were a couple of key times in the second half that we failed to regain control of the game," The Citadel Head Coach Randy Nesbit said. "We failed to get any points on the technical foul shots, and then we didn't score on the ensuing possession. That was a real disappoint­ ment." With the free throws and the posses­ sion, the Dogs could have tied the contest or taken the lead; however, ASU scored on twoconsecutive possessions and pulled ahead by 11 at the 8:17 mark. The 11-point advantage came as Spurlock spun along the left baseline, working down low for the basket and a foul. His three-point play gave the Moun­ taineers a 59-48 cushion.

The Mountaineers upended The Citadel 78-65 Monday to improve to 6-3 in the Southern Conference. Southern Conference champion Appa­ lachian State replenished its gridiron squad last week with the addition of 23 recruits. ASU Recruiting Coordinator Gary Grif­ fin said the Mountaineer coaching staff was pleased with the outcome of the sign­ ing period. "It was a success," Griffin said. "It was right on target with what our needs were." The Mountaineers, who finished 8-4 overall and earned a trip to the Division IAA playoffs in HeadCoach JerryMoore's third season, had several key areas to fill, including theoffensive line and defensive secondary. Griffin said the Apps were able to patch up those areas in the signing period. "We signed eight offensive linemen and four defensive linemen. Some of the offensive linemen can play both ways," Griffin said. Griffin said that unlike in 1990, when Appalachian Sate signed a lot of junior college linemen, all eight newcomers to the Mountaineer line are freshmen. "This year is a lotdifferent than 1990," Griffin explained. "We feel like we've got adequate depth to fill those spots right now. We feel like we can maintain the level of consistency we've had with high school kids. We'll have these guys for four years. "The offensive linemen we signed are very capable," Griffin continued. "Sev­ eral will play for us next year. Some of the guys have good size and some have good speed." The Apps also searched for replace­ ments for three starting defensive backs as All-Southern Conference picks Gary Dandridge and Mark Mayo as well as Steve Wilks have completed their eligi­ bility. "We were maybe a defensive back short," Griffin said. "We wanted to sign three defensive backs and we signed two. But, we signed a linebacker who may be able to play in the secondary." Griffin said that, like in 1991, the Moun­ taineers also wanted to add more speed to their roster and were able to do just that. "We think every one of these guys can run, even the linemen," Griffin said."The linebackers and defensive linemen we signed are really fast for their position. You have got to have speed on the line." ASU also concentrated more on in­ state recruiting this year, landing ^play­ ers from North Carolina. In 1991, the Mountaineers signed only five North Caro­ lina natives and inked 1Oout-of-state players. Griffin said there were more in-state players available this year. "The NCAA cut three scholarships fr&m I-A football programs this year,"Griffin said. "There are five I-A schools in the state, which meant there were 15 addi• See RELOAD page 6 Lady Mountaineers drop overtime decision to UNC-Greensboro ByLYDIA E.

With two pins to point them in the right direction, Appalachian State poundedThe Citadel 31-6 in a Southern Conference wrestling match Monday afternoon. A nice surprise for Head Coach Paul Mance came from 118-pound freshman Mike Orris. "I'm exceptionally pleased with Orris," commented Mance. "He had a very impressive win over a top opponent from the conference." Orris was leading The Citadel'sTony McKay (standing 132 in the conference), 7-0, when he was able to secure a pin. "This season has been a learning expe­ rience," Orris said."It's a whole different ballgame in college. Hopefully this expe­ rience will pay off next year and in the years to come." "Mike Orris wrestled a great match against a really strong opponent," sophomore Kyle Kuykendall said.

Appalachian will compete in the Southeastern Invitational on Feb. 15 in Charleston. S.C. defeated his opponent 14-4. Affufchmn "I wrestled a pretty sluggish match to­ day," Rawls said. "It was decided at the last minute that I would be wrestling at 126." Rawls shares the 126 weight class with freshman Todd Miller. "Todd doesn't get as much chance as he sometimes deserves,"commented Mance. "If we have big guns to shoot, we're going to shoot them to have a chance at winning. Their (The Citadel's) 126 kid is impres­ sive. We wanted to make sure we won the match." Captain Victor Balmeceda defeated Dexter Johnson,ranked third in theSouthem Conference in the 142-pound weight class for his 27th victory of the season. "We're getting better with every match," commented Balmeceda. "We're peaking for the Southern Conference. Everybody's pretty equal going in. In the finals, whoever is in better condition wins." "Victor is a very strong 150 pounder who is dropping to 142 for the Southern Conference," said Kuykendall.

WASU will celebrate lls 20th anniversary only once, and your only chance to catch the variety offered by the station is during your time at Appalachian. Once you leave Appalachian, you may realize just what an opportunity WASU can be. Happy Anniversary WASU! February 13, 1992 Valentine's Day, the holiday everyone either loves or hates, is tomorrow. Valentine's Day is a holiday of love. It has become associated more with romantic love than with love in general and whether you love or hale Valentine's Day probably depends on whether you have a significant other person to share it with. Every Feb. 14 it seems that those who are involved in the dating scene crowd the candy and card stores and the florists. Meanwhile, those whodon'thave someone to buy cards and flowers and candy for sit in front of the TV watching soaps, eating Cheetos and making cynical com­ ments about the goo-goo eyed lovebirds who are crowd­ ing the stores. Valentine's Day didn't start out being a romantic holi­ day. It is named after St. Valentine, who lived in the third century A.D. in Rome. Valentine was a Christian during a time when Romans were expected to worship the em­ peror, and Christians were persecuted. St. Valentine was one of those who refused to worship the emperor, saying "Jesus Christ is my Lord," and was thrown to the lions. According to legend, St. Valentine was friends with a little boy who was blind. Before he died, he gave the little boy a piece of paper cut into the shape of a heart to remember him by. Thus came the use of hearts on Valentine's Day and the expression "Be my Valentine." I personally happen to like Valentine's Day. Of course there was a time when I, too, would have been cynical. But now I enjoy picking out presents, not just for my boy­ friend, but for family and friends too. Valentine's Day isn't just for romantic love, but for all kinds of love. Of course we shouldn't need a holiday to love our family, boyfriends or girlfriends and friends. Love is for every day of the year. Valentine's Day just gives us an opportunity in our otherwise busy schedules to take time out and tell those significant in our lives how much we appreciate them. When we were kids it was easier tocelebrate Valen tine's Day. For one thing, it didn't cost as much. Also, we weren't so stressed out. But most importantly, it wasn't as important to be in love romantically with someone to have a good Valentine's Day. In elementary school we had something to keep Valen­ tines in, aid we bought a box of Valentines for the whole class. The boxes usually came with about 30 Valentines and onefor the teacher. We sent V alen tines to classmates, and we got Valentines from most everyone in the class. Only the Charlie Browns of the world had reason to be cynical about Valentine's Day as a kid. Then in high school we had the groups that sold carna­ tions—while meaning "Friendship," pink meaning "I like you" and red meaning "I love you." This was probably about the time people started getting cynical. Junior high and high school are the ages when people start dating, or at least, start hoping to date. Those who manage to get dates are lucky; those who don't are left saying, "Love stinks anyway." But at least we have white carnations to remind us of the importance of our friendships as well as our dating relationships. Once we get to college, we are still being sold carna­ tions and roses. But the emphasis on romance on Valentine's Day seems to increase. Cards meant for friends and family are sold, but not in nearly as great a quantity as sweetheart cards. More Valentine's Day cynics appear than ever, with good reason. The aspects of Valentine's Day other than romance seem to disap­ pear. Boyfriends and girlfriends, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents, roommates, friends, coworkers and the person you passed on the way to math class this morning are all important on Feb. 14, as well as any other day of the year. Everyone needs to give and receive love. Valentine's Day is the perfect reminder of this fact. In the midst of first tests, papers, projects and just stress in general, sometimes it's hard to take time to show how much we love and appreciate each other.But Feb.14 gives us this opportunity, if nothing else to just take five minutes and send a card or give a hug to someone we appreciate. Mom and Dad—thanks far always being there. And thanks for paying the bill when I call hone three times a week. I love you. Emi, my look-alike little sister—you're always fun to share a room with on the rare instances that I get lo go home. Good luck on the School of Science and Math application. Adam—don't turn 13 too soon; it'll be hard to have a teenager far a little brother. I miss you. Art—the past year and a half has been the best of my life. I love you very much, and I'll never need a holiday to remind me of that. Michele—thanks for being a wonderful roomie. And thanks for not threatening to throw my Tom Petty tapes out the window. Keep spreading the good news about Jesus. Donna, Jennifer, Kelli, Dane11, Jonathan, Ellen, Erik— thanks for being such great friends. Kim—you've been great to work for. Thanks for being so patient when I lake 20 minutes lo tell you what's going lo be on my page. The Appalachian staff—you guys are awesome. Writers—good job; keep it up. David—you've also been great to work for. Thanks for all the advice. Lutheran Students of Appalachian and Pastor Bob—all of you have been wonderful friends to me. Keep praising the Lord. Professors, past and present—because of you I can speak French and know a few things about running a classroom. I never thought I'd leam so much. You've worked miracles. Anybody I've left out—I hope you know how much I appreciate you. Valentine's Day is a time to show love. Of course it's a time to show romantic love. But it's also time for other types of love—love of family and love of friends. Take time out on Feb. 14 to express your love to your boyfriend or girlfriend. But also take time out for your mom, dad, brother, sister, roommate, friends, coworkers and the passerby who has his head hung down and looks like he could really use a hug. St. Valentine probably never dreamed he'd have his own holiday. But if he had, he'd want it to be a day in which we all show how much we love each other. Editor's note: Tarlet on is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. America should live up to its promises By CHRIS PARRISH Appalachian Staff Writer This is achallenge to you. Before I state this challenge, however, I would like to give some background to why this affects every person. I really gel aggravated by some of the people in this country who do not have any common sense, or very little. This may seem harsh, but, if you look at the situation in the United States, you might ask, "What is wrong?" I have an answer. Unfortunately, people will not or cannot heed it. My answer is do what you say you are going to do. Is this too simple? Ironically, it is. Am I off on a tangent by thinking this, or have I lost it all together? Nope, I do not think so. I have just come to the point where I say enough is enough, and I will not let people who cannot live up to their own promises con­ trol my way of life. It really amazes me that a bank on campus with only two tellers, who work for a huge banking institution devoted to helping individuals with their banking needs and act as financial intermediaries, need a two-hour lunch break from 1 to 3 p.m. These are the hours of the day when most students are on campus. It also amazes me that when I go to see the head of Student Programs, not Univer­ sity Programsor Alumni Programs (should they exist), but Student Programs, he has left for the day at 2:30 pjn. on a Tuesday afternoon. Why? Is this really necessary on a day early in the week and during normal business hours? I am not writing this to slam anyone or anything in particu­ lar, twt I just do not approve of this atti­ tude. Should anyone be content withO.K.? I do not think so, and I hope Americans feel the same way. All this heavy competition with Japan really bothers me. They have trumped us at our own game, and now the younger, brighter generation has to deal with it. The United States is still, by far, the number one power in the world, but quite possibly, not for long. What frustrates me is when the Japa­ nese Prime M inister comes to our country and c a]Is the American people lazy.1 think to myself, "Who is this guy, and where does he get off with this attitude?" Then I think, "Is he that far off?" I don't think so. Do not get me wrong,I love this country and to be an American is spectacular. I just, for the life of me, cannot understand why companies, schools and ultimately the government, do not follow through with what they say they are going to do. If they say they are going to make quality cars, make them. If they say they are going to help you with all your financial transac­ tions, do it. If they say they will not raise taxes, then don't Is this crazy? Well of course not This is, however, the core of the problems in America. Call me a heathen, but is it too much to ask for to expect results from those who tell us they will give us results? I feel there is a time for change. There­ fore, it is really up to us, the newer genera­ tions to mm the attitude in this country around. This is my challenge to you. . I challenge you to beat the depression; I challenge you to gel a job; I challenge you lo be happy and have your 2.4 chil­ dren; but ultimately, I challenge you to'do what you say you are going to do, because if you don't, someone across the Pacific will. Work does not stop for low temperatures The men on the road crews I saw were bundled up in layers of sweats and would be out there working for hours. The students I saw on their 10 to 15 minute walks between warm buildings were wearing down and Polarguard, heavy overcoats and bulky gloves or mittens—basically high-tech winter clothing. Is Mr. Duncan suggesting that we legislate procedures for the most effete members of our society? By GARY LARSON the far side David Huntley Orientation/Core Studies Program Republicans did not deserve criticism Class should still be held when cold To the Editor: Fleaboys While Doug Duncan w as contemplat­ ing skipping classes on Thursday, Jan. 16, road crews were outside working all over Watauga County, skiers were sliding on the slopes and little children and old men in Minnesota stepped out into air that registered below zero on the thermometer, with the wind chill far below that. To the Editor: P.W. Glidewell (Jan. 30/David Duke: the Honest Republican) has a few things to learn about the Republican party. Glidewell needs to help reform the backwards Democratic Party rather than criticize a party he does not know the first thing about. So, let's examine Glidewell's letter, step by step: 1. The government is stifling our economy. The Democrats claim that Bush will not help the economy. Bush, like Reagan before him, has proposed bold plans that would spur the economy. The Democrats; however, complain that these plans will not work, even though they have never tried them. Let's remember that Congress appropri­ ates the money. Congress raises the money and Congress is controlled by the Democrats. 2. Reverse discrimination does exist. We'll admit that it is not near as prevalent as regular discrimination, but it still exists. Though the Democrats' civil rights bill does not prescribe quotas, it does, for the first time in history, put the burden of proof on the defendant instead of the prosecutor. 3. We, as Republicans, care very much about the environment We know the Democrats care about the environ­ ment and want to help, but they do not offer any practical solutions for improving it Solar power is not yet efficient enough, battery power does not provide enough energy and. like it or not, oil makes the world go around. Oil is not only used for gasoline but also is used in the production of other products. 4. The Democrats control Congress, and Congress controls domestic policy. Look at the sorry shape the home front is in. The Republicans control the presidency, and the president controls foreign policy. Foreign policy has been America's only recent huge success. Communism is basically dead; the Soviet Union is gone; the Arabs and Israelis are talking about peace; the Medillin drug cartel has been brought down; apartheid is ending; Cuba is isolated; democracy and capitalism are in Eastern Europe; the hostages have been freed and Saddam Hussein, while still in power, has been defanged and can no longer threaten his neighbors. Gee, it seems to us that the Republi­ cans have done quite well. What have the Democrats done? We have been tolc that if you cannot say something nice, do not say anything at all. Well, we guess we will not say anything. Mr. Glidewell.

U's four year graduation rate ranks in the University of North Carolina nil32.6 percent for freshmen who entered ASU in thefall of 1987 and should have graduated in the spring of 1991, according to Gurley. ASU's four year graduation rate is above the 27.8 percent average of the 16 schools in the UNC-system. North Carolina State University has thehighest fouryear gradu­ ation rate at 61.3 percent, and Fayetteville State has the lowest, at 8.3 percent. Appalachian's tuition and fees for this semester are $623.75 for in-state stu­ dents, and $3,150.75 for out-of-state stu­ dents. From these figures, $285.75 of each amount is for fees; the remainder is for tuition. The NC General Assembly sets tuition rates, and the university sets the fees. Using these figures, students who do not graduate in four years from ASU would have to pay more than $2,500 more if the idea for the tuition increase becomes con­ crete. The idea is directly targeted at in-state students because they are the students receiving state funds for their education, according to Gurley. The state appropri­ ated $5,914 per in-state ASU student, according to Bob Baker, controller for Appalachian. On Feb. 6 the Charlotte Observer reported that Zane Eargle, the president of Pfeiffer College, said the average state appropriation for in-state students was $7,000. 15,000 lost yearly uversity explores laundry options ANDA NELSON thian News Editor HATCH chian Staff Writer dry vandalism costs ASU $15,000 11 year.

Junior Jeannie English said, "Laundry is a neces­ sity, and it should be provided for us like food is, by a charge on housing." The vandalism that students cause has been a concern to the administration be­ cause of the high cost of repairing the machines, Canipe said. The usual cost of repairing a broken coin operating mecha­ nism of a washer or dryer is from $14 to $40 including parts and labor. East Residence Hall led residence halls in vandalism incidences with 55 for the year. Other coed halls followed with Hoey at 48, Doughton at 43 and Justice at 40. All female dorm averages were signifi­ cantly lower than coed and Frank, the only all male residence hall which had 33 reported incidents. The lowest all-female average was three in Newland, which has no reported inci­ dents this semester.The highest all female average was in Eggers at 19. See graphic on page two for additional figures. The law of North Carolina states clearly in General Statute 14-56.2, "Any person who shall willfully and maliciously dam­ age or destroy a coin operated machine shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punish­ able by fine or imprisonment or both in the discretion of the court." Canipe said, "The university will seek to prosecute any and all violators of this law to the fullest punishment." Vandalism is currently handled on the student judiciary level, but Canipe has said the university may seek to bring up civil charges against violators. The machines cost $.75 per wash and $.75 to dry. Sophomore Tracy Quinones said, "I believe the price is too high. If the university's reasoning for the high priceis —v ~ to pay for n pay fot the vandalism, then with the ^ toUTlSSS I-Hal!One honest students who havepaid all along." As director of state affairs, Gurley rep­ resents ASU at monthly meetings of the NC Association of Student Government. The association meets once a month, with representatives from all 16 of the UNCsystem schools. According to Gurley, the association had a lengthy discussion in January about the tuition increase that North Carolina state legislators are talk­ ing about. The idea is not a proposal yet, it is only being discussed, according to Gurley. "The reason we need to look at this now is because it is best to stop it before it really even gets started," said Gurley. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs,said he had heard nothing of the state legislators' plan. For this plan to be put into effect, it would have to be drawn up in bill form by a committee in the general assembly. The committee sponsoring the bill wouldhave to pass it, and then it would come to the floor for a vote. According to Gurley, the general assembly will not meet in full session to vote until May. "Another reason we need to become aware of this issue now is because the general assembly meets in May, while students are all out of school for the sum­ mer, and students could come back in the fall and learn about this too late, after it has already been passed," said Gurley. The position of the NC Association of Student Government is against any in­ crease in tuition, according to Gurley. He also said that ASU's student government is opposed to the idea. "I think it's a serious flaw on the part of the state legislators," said Gurley. "I agree that graduation rates are of concern, but I don't think this is the way to deal with it." Gurley said he feels that one reason four year graduation rates are as low as they are is because of the number of nontraditional students who now attend col­ lege. See TUITION page 4 Dropout rate falls By JENNY HARTW1GER Appalachian Staff Writer The dropout rate for high school stu­ dents in North Carolina has declined sig­ nificantly in the last three years, improv­ ing Appalachian State University's aver­ age incoming freshman's qualifications, said Joseph Watts, director of admissions and enrollment services. Because more students are finishing high school, colleges are receiving more applications. In 1991-92, ASU received 7,700 applications but will enroll 1,885 students, according to Watts. "The more students who graduate from high school the better off we will be," Watts said. ASU admissions has almost finished accepting applications for the 1992-93 school year.The freshmen classshould be filled by March 15."Appalachian is com­ mitted to quality, rather than quantity" Watts said. The average SAT score for the fresh­ men class of 1987 was 934, in 1988 it was 954, in 1989 it was 967, in 1990 the average fell to 956, in 1991 the score rose to 971 and Watts predicts that the average for 1992 will be even higher. Admission representatives from ASU visit students from every public high school in North Carolina. The representa­ tives may visit one high school in a county but make sure all of the students from the other high schools in that county are transported in for the occasion. Appalachian prefers to visit high schools during the school day rather than at a college night. Because not all students have transporta­ tion or available time in the evenings. Watts said.

(CPS)—These days, movies arenotjust made in Hollywood. As production companies scout differ­ ent locations and different looks, college campuses nationwide have caught their attention. "I didn't ever realize there were as many campuses in movies as there are until I got involved with it," said Carolyn Wynens, coordinator of community rela­ tions at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta. Recent examples alone arenumerous— "Little ManTate," "Driving Miss Daisy," Back to School," "Fried Green Tomatoes" and Woody Allen's latest project, still in the works in New York City. 'Typically, (the film company) will send location scouts to look over the cam­ pus, said Beverly Solochek, director of public relations at BarnardCollege, where Allen filmed some scenes for his upcom­ ing film. 'They want to know, 'Do we have the right look, the right light, the space that they need?' " How the scouts find the campuses var­ ies.

The Indiana Film Commission does not solicit films at its schools, but, "We do get requests, usually for Notre Dame, In­ diana University and Ball State," said Lisa Duda, a member of the IFC. 'We then usually talk to the president of the school or an administrator and tell them the storyline because most don't want to be associated with something negative. "Then, we let them handle it," Duda said. One of the most well-known movies filmed at a college in Indiana is "Breaking Away," shot almost entirely on the Indi­ ana University campus in the 1970s. Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio, about 30 miles northwest of Cincinnati, got involved as a possible film site for "Little Man Tate" through the Cincinnati Film Commission, which persuaded di­ rector Jodie Foster to film the movie pri­ marily in Cincinnati and surrounding ar­ eas.

Qver 200 volunteers have been trained jlrtady this year, but more are needed. i believe that activism deals with the mot of the problem, while service rttimteerism deals with the symptom— mdyouneed both,"said Tajel Shah, presirjat of the U.S. Student Association in Washington D.C., the oldest and largest student-run political organization in the United States. Today's new breed of activist is in­ formed, educated and not fueled by emo­ tion, say student leaders. And there is a distinction between ser­ vice volunteerism, also a trend on campuses today, and hard-core activism, where students are prepared to make a greater personal sacrifice, if necessary, for thenbeliefs. South African divestment stirred the it of student activists of the '80s, and iheit outcry was heard throughout the country. Since the release of Nelson Mandela, the African National Congress leader and die lifting of apartheid laws in South Af­ rica, much of the uproar over universities investing in companies doing business in South Africa has fizzled. The shanty towns constructed by student activists are gone, and in some cases, universities are quietly re-examining di­ vestment policies. Students also cite the recession for declining interest in South Africa. Most activists say they prefer to work within the system, such as the USSA. Others state, that if necessary, they will use non-violent sit-ins, demonstrations ana other acts of civil disobedience to make their point. "Students are not apathetic. They are mobilizing on more and more issues," said Shah, whose organization lobbies Congress on student related issues from tuition to curriculum reform. "We work within the system." Shah, on leave from Rutgers Univer­ sity, says she will always be a political activist and admits having a talent for organizing for social change. "Education is a right for making a better society,"she said. Some activist groups report asharp rise in student interest since the Persian Gulf War, publicized incidents of racial and ethnic v iolence and theongoing economic ills suffered by their colleges and univer­ sities. "Students are experiencing having classes cut and (they are) increasingly making the connection to military spend­ ing, which will be $291 billion in 1992, and they are saying 'let's take the money out of there,' " said Bruce Gagnon, who organizes students for the Florida Coali­ tion for Peace and Justice. "1 predict peace­ ful demonstrations over military spend­ ing on campuses." "Activism tends to be a way of life, a willingness to do things, to sacrifice your­ self. Many people are willing to gel ar­ rested to do what they believe in," said Blair Palese, a Greenpeace spokesperson, who says that students comprise a large number in the international environmen­ tal group. Greenpeace, whose policy is non-vio­ lence and"direct action"such as blocking shipments of nuclear waste or hanging protest banners on bridges, has attracted thousands of students since the environ­ ment has become the most popular issue on campuses. U.S. membership is 1.8 million. Palese said that students have an "un­ derstanding of protecting the environment and atmosphere" from nuclear hazards and toxic waste because they are"without a lot of economic ties." "They get involved at an age where they believe they can make a difference," she said. One student group, the Progressive Stu­ dent Network, says there is a link between social ills found on college campuses. "We are fighting racism, sexism, heterosexism. militarism. There is a root cause that needs to change before these can change," said Kim Feicke, national office coordinator of PSN, a 25-campus organization that organizes demonstra­ tions and sit-ins to make a public state­ ment. Feicke says there are six new campuses with PSN offices since the Persian Gulf War. "We bring in speakers, show films and sponsor discussions about these is­ sues. We give out literature, too," said Feicke, who added that there currently is a concern about the activities of white supremacy groups since former kl ansman David Duke's recent bid Tor Louisiana governor. "I think volunteerism can be a way to get rid of the guilt. Activism is something you commit your life to. It is much more of a commitment," said Brooke Webster, a former Eastern Illinois University stu­ dent. Webster is a student organizer for CISPES (Citizens in Solidarity for the People of El Salvador). The Washington-based organization, which started in 1980, now claims 73 Appletree Apartments Individually Fireproofed Fully Furnished • 2 Bedrooms • 2 Bathrooms NO NEED TO • Up to 4 Parking Spaces per Unit REGISTER CARS ON • Dishwasher CAMPUS • Washing Machine & Dryer • Microwave ft/; ftp 5 o o • Ceiling Fan ^ ^ ^^ • Disposal 6 %L ' 5 %L 1 O Corner of Water & Howard Streets behind Heilig Meyers chapters and said their goal is to "stop U.S. intervention and st^rport democracy in El Salvador." CISPES, according to Webster, is a loose organization of reli­ gious groups and human rights activists. "Students are pushing older activists to stay involved, the ones that are burned out," said Webster, who is taking 25 stu­ dents to El Salvador next year to observe conditions there. Webster became interested in Central America in high school when she read a traveler's journal that described "lortue and desperation" of the people. She said she began gathering research and eventu­ ally joined CISPES. Many activist groups such as CISPES claim they have endured FBI probes and harassment from right-wing groups. Some groups say surveillance and de­ structive tactics by government agencies continue to hamstring activities. Other student social causes are not as heated. Homelessness,forexample, while not as headline-grabbing as the environ­ ment and not as controversial as issues espoused by CISPES and PSN, is gather­ ing support as an activist cause as the recession continues to rob citizens of a place to live.

Though summer jobs may require us to look unewhat "normal" in those three months of icaiion, during the school year we have the jk and right to look any way we choose.

In fact, perhaps when limold and gray (and, hopefully, retired), I'll lick up where I left off and dye my hair chsia. It could be that the crises some older icans seem to go through is a result of ision in earlier life.

Bungee captures ASU By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Appfchiin Photo by trey nortc* WHAT A BUZZ! Appalachian Diversions Editor William Purcell, takes a brave bungee jump to experience the subject of his article first-hand. This month Bungee Unlimited, Inc. opened on highway 421. Bungee jumping is a new thrill seeking craze that has captured America's attention through the media. You have seen the clips of the couple taking their marriage vows seconds before they plunge off a bridge. You have seen people jumping off towers, out of balloons and from cages suspended from towering cranes. Experience this thrill of a lifetime in Boone. Bungee jumping is here, and it is here to stay. Owners of Bungee Unlimited Inc., Judy Davis and Mike Owen, first jumped in New Zealand three years ago. Now they are giving the High Country a chance to experience the post bungee buzz. Three weeksago it was just another cow pasture. No w a small lot just outside of Boone on Highway 421 boasts a crane, a small trailer and a ton of people who all come out to jump or just to watch. You go through several safety checks before jumping. "You are checked three times by three different people," said owner Judy Davis."Every­ thing has a back-up feature." Bungee Unlimited Inc. is a member of the North American Bungee Association. The NABA has specific suppliers of bungee jumping equipment, and only licensed members may purchase theequip­ ment. All of the equipment used by the jumpers has been tested and certified. The two-piece harness was designed specifically for bungee jumping. The bungee cords have been tested for up to 4,500 lbs. to ensure the user's safety. The cords are rubber with a nylon casing. The cords will only be used for 1,500 jumps, then they will be sent back to the manufacturer to be destroyed. You may jump using anywhere from four to seven cords according to your weight. If you do not use the proper number of cords for your weight you will not experience a full rebound which is part of the thrill of bungee jumping. The rebound is 80 to 90 percent of your fall. The cage is specifically designed for bungee jumping. The jumper, the jumpmaster and one guest can ride up. Bungee Unlimited will have ankle jumps and night jumping in the coming months. This spring and summer they hope to be open five to seven days a week. Currently, you are hoisted to 150 feet, and the bungee cord strectches for 100 feet. Bungee Un; limited hopes to soon have jumps at 240 feet. " There is only one other place to tangee jump in North Carolina, Balloons Over Charlotte. Balloons Over Charlotte takes the participant up in a hot air balloon to jump."The problem with balloon jumping is you are very dependent on the wind. With the crane you don't have to shut down," said Davis. "Why Boone? Well, there are enough crazy people in Boone to do it," said owner Judy Davisr. "There are enough outdoor enthusiasts, mountain climbers and kayakers to support the business." Bungee Unlimited has invested a large amount of money into setting up the bungee jump opera­ tion. They have had to purchase die crane and a one million dollar liability policy. Davis said that all jumpers have to sign a liability waiver, and no one is allowed to jump if they are under the influence of alcohol. There has been one death in die United States from bungee jumping. "The death resulted from using an inferior harness. He didn't hook himself in correcdy, he was alone and no one double checked him. That is why we have three people check," said Davis. The cost is $75 for the first jump or $99 for two back to back jumps. Each jump after the firstis $50.. No time limits exist for the second jump.There are discounts for groups of 10 or 20 or more. Bungee Unlimited hopes to offer special rates in the future and sponsor days for certain groups. They will begin taking reservations in anticipation of large, crowds with the coming of spring and warm, weather. Bungee Unlimited iscurrendy open every week­ end from noon until dark. Bungee Unlimited is one of almost 100 official bungee jumping locations in the United States.; They hope to expand to Raleigh and to beach' locations. Bungee Unlimited invites anyone just to come out and watch. Camp Fair held in Plemmons Student Union By KATE ROBINSON Appalachian Staff Writer Five southeast states will represent a total of 44 camps in the Camp Fair today in the Pub and Mini Mall in the Plemmons Student Union from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Camp Fair is sponsored by the Office of Conferences and Institutes. Summer camp is a tradition for children and an asset for employment for college students. Coun­ selors have theopportunity to helpchildren unlock their potential and develop trust and self-reliance while having fun. "Parents will be able to shop for a camp on site," said Fay Binning, director of youth programs for the university's Office of Conferences and Insti­ tutes. "Any kind of camp you can imagine will be here." Today's summer camps offer a variety of inter­ ests. One can choose from camps offering pro­ grams in horseback riding, aquatics, technology, mountain climbing, sports, robotics, music and academics. This is the third year of the Camp Fair but the first to offer a catering to parents. Not only can students find applications for employment, but parents can enroll their children in a camo today. "It's important to consider a child's personality, interests and needs whenchoosing asummer camp," Binding said. It is also important to know something about the camp's operations. "Many camps are accredited by the American Camping Association (which will be based here for the next two years)," Binning said. To be accredited, camps must meet standards dealing with health and safety, nutrition, program­ ming and personnel. "The Camp Fair also helps students find sum­ mer jobs," Binning said. "Appalachian is known for its camp people. Camps love to come here and recroit, not just students majoring in recreation and outdoor programs but those majoring in business and biology." Each year 600-1,000 students come through the Camp Fair. The camps recruit the majority of their staff from these fairs. A wide variety of camps will be represented. Resident camp has children stay­ ing for extended periods, sleeping overnight and participating in a variety of supervised activities. Day camp is for children ages 5 to 15 and is usually coed. Children are transported to and from camp daily. Travel and trip camps have the particiSee CAMP page 6 Recycling Bin Adopt-a-campus picks up concerned ASU clubs By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer On Sundays after the weekend parties and events, this campus is a mess! Now there is a way for clubs and organizations to help clean up the cam­ pus. Clubs and organizations on campus will receive information diis week on the new program called Adopt-A-Campus. Adopt-A-Campus is similar to Adopt-A-Highway, however; Adopt-A-Campus is where we, the students of Appalachian State University, will be responsible for a part of our campus. Adopl-A-Campus is sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi, ASU's National Accounting Fraternity chap­ ter, the Environmental Issues Committee and Jim Rice, director of civil and landscaping engineering at ASU and founder of the university's recycling program. The campus has been separated into 36 sections for organizations and clubs to adopt. Groups may adopt the area of their choice, and it is possible for more than one club to adopt the same area. Each club is asked to clean their area once a week and recycle as much trash as possible. They hope that organizations will choose to adopt a section of campus for the spring semester and the following academic year of 1992-93. They also hope that all the clubs will continue this program in the future. If the program is successful, it is estimated that the university could save as much as $30,000 per year in clean-up costs. Dr. Greg Blimling, vice chancellor of Student Development, agreed to pay for a permanent map to be placed in the Plemmons Student Union marking off the designated areas to be cleaned. Blimling also agreed to honor those clubs participating in the program in the university See ADOPT-A-CAMPUS page 6 �The Appalachian. Tus*Hm, February 11 700?

Some camps are exclusively for children with physical and mental disabili­ ties and other special needs. Six to seven million children attend the more than8,500camps in the United States. Binning noted the many potential, upcom­ ing careers in this huge industry. Summer camp experiences benefit both the camper and the counselor. Binning said. "Campers get an opportunity to build self-confidence and self-esteem, discover themselves and make new friends," Bin­ ning said. The counselors develop leader­ ship and management skills.

The following groups have already agreed to participate in the program (the numbers indicate the areas that have al­ ready been adopted): Hoey Residence Hall (1), White Residence Hall (2X East Resi­ dence Hall (3), SAVE and PAL (5), Kappa Delta (9), LambdaSigma Alpha(13), Bap­ tist Student Union (16), Beta Alpha Psi (19), Newland Residence Hall (23), Gardner ResidenceHall (25), ZAPEA (26), Bowie Residence Hall (29), Highland Bio­ logical Club (34), and the Appalachian Geological Society (36). Additional clubs are still needed to participate. Beta Alpha Psi receives points for com­ munity and service projects from their National Office. Chapters receive ratings according to the number of points they accumulate over the year. The highest rating is superior, and when a chapter receives a superior rating, they in return receive $2,000 in scholarships for account­ ing majors. Beta Alpha Psi asks that clubs respond as soon as possible, so additional informa­ tion can be sent. Beta Alpha Psi also hopes to get all clubs out cleaning their areas on the weekend of Feb. 29, the tentative kickoff clean-up day. Please support this program by doing your best to keep the Appalachian campus clean. ASU is the first university in the public system to begin such a program.

Senior forward Steve Spurlock, the team's second-leading storer, suffered through a miserable of­ fensive game, making only two of 14 ihots while committing four turnovers. And the Mountaineer bench, a strong point jd,Apke in recent weeks, scored a total of five points and shot a combined two-of|3 from the floor. Somehow, the Mountaineers were able R) overcome all this to pick up their fifth vin in the last six games to improve to 911 overall and 5-3 in theSouthern Conferaice The win was also Apke's First against the Paladins in 12 regular season games md moved the Apps into a third place tie with Furman in the SC. "I thought given the jinx or the whimrny that we've had against Furman jut fortunately our kids aren't very good students of history, because that didn't seem to bother them," Apke said after the game. "I thought they fought through a lot of frustration and tough times in the game to be able to come back and win it, and so I'm real proud of our team." Appalachian was on the verge of death in the second half before Rodney Peel scored 11 points in a key one minute spurt. After Furman scored four straight points to open up a 52-40 lead. Peel hit a threepointer and was fouled by Eric Fuller. After Peel made the free throw to trim the lead to 52-44, Spurlock claimed a missed Paladin shot and was fouled by Derek Waugh. Furman HeadCoach Butch Estes disputed the call claiming Spurlock had hit Waugh with an elbow after the rebound. Estes was whistled for a techni­ cal foul, S pairlock and Peel made three of the ensuing four free throws, and Peel followed with another three-pointer to bring ASU within two at 52-50. Steven Hines fouled Peel 20 seconds later in transition, and Peel made both free throws to tie the game for the First time since the 19-minute mark of the first half. "My technical foul didn't help, and there's a lot of disappointment with this game," adisgruntied Estes remarked after the game. "If we could have just one play back, then my technical is one of those plays, and it might be a different story. "There was some very physical contact after die whistle, and I got upset about it. The official tried to justify it by saying the contact was after the foul. Well, what went on after foul was not justified based on what has happened in the past." The Paladins were still in control of the game with a 63-57 lead with 3:49 to play before Billy Ross and Rodney Peel hit back-to-back three-pointers to get ASU within two points at 65-63. From there, the story of thegame was the Mountaineer defense, as Furman failed to score over the last three minutes of the game. In the process, Appalachian made four of six free throws, while the Paladins missed their last three. After Ross made two foul shots to tie die game at 65, the Paladins missed two straight three-point shots and then fouled Peel on a drive with 57 seconds left in die game. Peel miss­ ed the first free throw but made die second to give the Apps their first lead of the game. Furman's Brian Edwards missed a shot in the lane, and ASU controlled the re­ bound and got the ball ahead to Tony Thompson, who was fouled with 12 sec­ onds left Thompson madeone free throw, and Hal Henderson's off-balance, turn­ around 14-foot jumper missed at the buzzer. "I thought the key for us was the de­ fense we played in the second half, be­ cause they had 44 points at halftime and only scored 21 in the second half," Apke said. The defense started to pay dividends for the Mountaineers midway through the second half when Apke inserted Jeff Wil- , liamsandTony Thompson into the lineup 1 and switched to a 3-2 zone defense. With Williams sagging to help on Furman's talented low post players, the Paladins had to resort to three-point shooting during thelast lOminutesofthegame.

The Mountaineers rolled to a 34-3 victory over Heydets Friday in Varsity Gym. The Appalachian State Wrestling team defeated Southern Conference rival VMI Friday, by the count 34-3. Many of the team members won their individual matches, but Head Coach Paul Mance was mostly pleased with the per­ formance of the team as a whole. Junior Victor Balmeceda won his 142 lb. match bringing his individual record to 9-2. "That' s one of the better matches we've had,"Balmeceda said of the VMI encoun­ ter. "Even the people that lost, lost re­ spectfully." Balmeceda used an example, referring to Kyle Kuykendall who wrestled the re­ turning Southern Conference champion. Kuykendall usually wrestles at the 150 lb. weight class but, against VMI, wrestled at 158. Although Kuykendall lost his indi­ vidual match, Balmeceda believes that if Kuykendall wrestles as well as he did against VMI in the Southern Conference Tournanient, he may even Finish in the top three in the nation. ^SU drops two in SC *PW*hian Staff Writer past week, the ASU women's "•ketball itesin las ' dropped two in a row. d°*nh y Mountaineers were First gunned Of Ch* , urmar>. then lost a closegame to kn a,lanooga last Saturday.

Despite Lynch's effort, UTChattanooga downed the Lady Mountaineers 76-70 MpKrVV^* *" V The National Collegiate Athletic Asso­ ciation currently has no guidelines for dispensing medications to athletes, and "packaging and labeling do not meet ap­ propriate standards," the principal inves­ tigator of the First NCAA-funded study of drug distribution in university athletics programs told a conference of the Ameri­ can Society of Hospital Pharmacists. As a result, ill or injured athletes who have received more than one medication sometimes inadvertently use a drug in­ tended to treat a different condition, said the investigator, Michelle Laster-Bradley, a pharmacist who is a research asso­ ciate at Auburn University School of Phar­ macy. Laster-Bradley has also uncovered problems in the environmental conditions in which medications are stored. Many athletes receive medications in envelopes that then get dropped in sweaty gym bags; when taken, the drugs may no longer have their intended effect. Further, she found, athletes in Division I schools are receiv­ ing their medications 35 percent of the time from trainers, who are not licensed to dispense drugs, and athletes nationwide rarely receive proper counseling on how to use their medications. The NCAA has requested Laster-Brad­ ley to recommend guidelines for drug distribution in athletics programs. The investigator will submit her Findings and recommendations to the NCAA in a final report in February 1992. Not all college athletics programs lack good drug distribution and storage sys terns, conferenceattendees learned. Phar­ macists at the U.S. Air Force Academy Hospital have established pharmacy ser­ vices for the 22 intercollegiate teams at the academy. Capt. Peter MacArthur, who was associate chief of pharmacy at the hospital until recently, reported what his program standardized physician and trainer drug treatment protocols, estab­ lished a focal point for the distribution of drugs and decreased the number of nonprescription drugs stored outside the pharmacy. Meanwhile, athletes continue to abuse performance-enhancing drugs—chiefly, anabolic steroids, but also eTythropoetin and human growth hormone—and phar­ macists increasingly are becoming a re­ source in drug testing and educational programs, said JonW agner, assistant dean at the University of Nebraska College of Pharmacy and a consultant for college and high school athletics programs.

The first was the Clarence Thomas/ tote should support ts resident citizens north Carolina's lawmakers are once again considering a plan that would borate the educational level of the state's citizens, rhe plan would limit in-state students to four years at a state-supported iversity. Of course students could opt to stay more than four years; but if ydid, this plan would charge them with a hefty penalty. You see, under this iposal, the state would require students to pay out-of-state tuition rates for [ attendance beyond the fourth year. Hie plan, if implemented, would affect approximately 70 percent of palachian State's students; and would affect greater percentages at the t's IS other institutions. [his plan should not be implemented. «iorth Carolina residents should pay in-state rates no matter how long they lain at a state-supported institution. Citizens of North Carolina should t the right to learn throughout their lives. By setting a time-limit on port by the state, the state would Jjjnjl flip number of those who would be t to receive a higher education. Out-of-state rates are considerably higher i in-state marks (a difference of approximately $2,500 at ASU). Thus, |e students, because they must stay a fifth year, would find it difficult to d their education. . iome students are forced to stay an extra year (or semester) by the simple ureof their major selection. Not a'l programs are geared toward a four-year »; and a portion of those programs structured around four years are nearly possible to complete in that time because courses and classsize are limited, tse students should not be penalized for remaining another year, talents also change majors during the course of their collegiate careers, is has become an acceptable practice as students are encouraged to select ujor in which they will be happy. If a student is unhappy in a given area or she should move to another area of study. By limiting the number of ^supported years ata university, many students might be forced to decide smajor earlier and find themselves caught in a discipline they are unhappy h. This could harm more than their collegiate careers; it could harm the taider of their lives, as job selection is obviously influenced by major Ktion. tare students also opt to double major or select a minor of study. These isions may require a student to remain in school longer than four years. A 11 to raise the tuition after four years could limit such decisions. By lamenting this plan, the state would be limiting the amount of knowledge ' student might attain. The state should be willing to aid its citizens in taing knowledge, not placing restrictions on the amount of knowledge I1 could receive. ^traditional students may also be adversely affected if such a plan is fled. Those students with families to support usually fit college around a ,n order to support the family, the nontraditional student usually enrolls fewer hours each semester in order to maintain employment These fe"ls should not be expected to complete their education in four years, •y should not be penalized for not staying within the bounds of a certain "tar of calendar years. I certain number of years (in this case four) would also be difficult to ^"te as the present education system operates. Would four years be Stared eight semesters? Or would the four-year deadline occur after 48 nttis? What about those students who take a semester off to gain additional Would these students also be penalized and lose a semester (or year) ^demic eligibility? taferHs should be encouraged to engage in a lifetime of learning. Can fcnis attempt such an acquistion of knowledge when they are limited to 'years as undergraduates?

A time restraint should not be placed state's advocacy. Anita Hill soap opera, which could have been titled "Perversion on Capitol Hill." According to Hill, Thomas sexually harassed her several times 10 years ago when they were working together at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. His story isdifferent He wanted to be a Supreme Court Justice. He said he is qualified, his record is clean and women like her are out to ruin his life for no good reason. She said a pervert like him shouldn't be on the Supreme Court The second premiere soap of the year was the William Kennedy Smith/Patrici a Bo wman drama.This could have been appropriately titled "Filthy Rich Sex on the Beach." She said he raped her on a beach in Florida. He said the country is using his family, the famous Kennedys, against him. So what's the verdict? Did Thomas really go over to Hill's apartment for a beer several times after work? Did she really keep calling him afterward? Is Smith going to have the same record as his UncleTed? Or is Bowman just trying to get some fame and maybe a little Kennedy money? America will never really find out. Like other soap6, these will keep avid watchers guessing. Of course these aren't your ordinary "Guiding Light"or "General Hospital"-type soaps. These are real. The people are real and so are the events. These soaps are television trials. Televising nationally-known trials has become very popular recently. A new cable channel, called Court TV, hfls even fcoftie into being. Everyone wants to watch famous people be brought to the bench. Everyone tries to figure out who is guilty. And everyone has a different opinion. Next week another new real-life soap opera will appear on television. This one even has an element of horror to it that could especially appeal to fans of the movie "Silence of the Lambs." It seems that mass murder Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lecter is alive and well in a neighborhood in Milwaukee. Last summer, Milwaukee police received calls from two anonymous bisexual black men who claimed that a six-foot tall, blond, gay white man picked them up at a gay bar, took them back to his apartment and tried to kill them. The police investigated Oxford Apartment number 213 and found a human head in the refrigerator, a heart in the freezer and a days-old bloodstain on the bed. exactly was on Patricia Bowman's pantyhose? Let's hope we weren't eating lunch in front of the TV when we found out. But these details will pale in comparison to the evi­ dence that is bound to be presented in Dahmer's trial. I personally don't plan to watch it. I'm not a horror movie fan. Real life is scary enough for me. All we have to do is turn on the news, and we get horror that rivals the worst Stephen King flick. But my presence in front of a TV set will not be missed this week because I'm sure millions of other Americans will be glued to theirs. After all, we have to know. Was Dahmer crazy or not? Why did he especially pick nonwhite gay men? Did he have any inkling of what he was doing? The purpose of televised trials is to inform. I would never advocate not putting trials on television, especially those of national importance. When we are informed, we cat better form intelligent opinions. And what better way to be informed about a case than to watch the whole trial? I have already formed my opinion, but I hope people who have not already formed theirs will watch the trial.

Upon questioning, the resident of the apartment from where the boy had been running said it was a homosexual argument, and the police did not need to interfere. The police returned the boy to the apartment without further ques­ tions. After the complaints from the two men, however, police finally arrested the resident of the apartment, a 31year-old gay chocolate factory worker named Jeffrey Dahmer. Dahmer confessed to the murders of 17 people. Like Hannibal the Cannibal, he also had an appetite far human flesh. He said he was saving one victim's heart"to eat later." He peeled the skin off one victim's head and painted the skull. Dahmer dismembered most of his vic­ tims' bodies and crushed their bones.

Root of education problem lies in society Answer lies in not giving more homework but in working on poverty problem By KELLI MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer Let's talk abouteducation. George Bush is the "education President." (Excuse me while I pause to go laugh awhile.) Actu­ ally, I will acknowledge that he has done something for the schools. As a matter of fact, under the Bush administration the school lunch program got combat rations from Desert Storm. Other than giving some of the school children food intended for the battlefield, I'm notsure what else the savior of educa­ r tion has done. He did saysomething about wanting to institute nationwide achieve­ ment tests. Well, heck. If he had done much more, we'd have togive him a statue next to John Dewey. I heard recently that the talk of the education town is on tougher reforms. One idea is let's get tough on those teach­ ers. One real big focus is that we've got to make theseteachers give more homework, and it's got to be difficult To me, harder homework isnot the answer. They're miss­ ing the key point OK, we give little Johnny harder home­ work and moreof it Let's analyze this. It's George's "kinder, gentler America," i.e., Johnny's parents can't give him the help he needs. All of the homework does the kid no good if no one can help him. But families can't make it on one salary. So, Mom and Dad don't get in until 6 or 7 pjn. everyday. Then, there is dinner to cook, laundry to do, house to clean. By Johnny's bedtime. Mom and Dad haven't had time to give him the help he needs on the loads of tough homework he has been given. So Johnny heads off to school. Due to budget cutbacks, he is in a room with 39 or so other kids. Well, the teacher does not have time to answer all their homework rnment commission had worked on the h would have had the first horse that rate its knee Joint in both directions, trouble is it couldn't have stood up. —Peter Drucker The only real vouage of discovery consists *>t in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. —Marcel Proust of a TV Ax O, MjrtKf TU. A, & /W OiV / M'-C/s- questions and keep up with the new, more demanding curriculum, another element in the salvation of American education. So, with all this, Johnny never gets the help he needs. Now, I ask you, did the tougher homework make the kid more educated? Now, don't get me wrong; just because George came from a family who not only paid his way through Yale but also paid his dues in one of the more exclusive fraterni­ ties does not mean that George does not understand about poor people and educa­ tion. (Pardon me, I'm laughing again.) Studies have proven that children from poor families have a lesser chance of suc­ cess. Schools in poor communities are separate but not equal. Perhaps, instead of tougher homework, class sizes should be reduced so teachers could give more help to students. Or, maybe, more after-school programs should be set up for the children whose parents cannot help them with homework. Perhaps, something ought to be done about the drug pushers Johnny will be confronted by.(Pardon, I'm laughing again about the success of George's "War on Drugs." Gee, George got rid of drugs and Saddam all in one administration.) Or, something could be done about the crime rate in Johnny's neighborhood. We might even want to do something about the fact that Johnny's Mom and Dad can't afford health insurance or health care. Of course, he comes to school sick. Doctors are an expense to working-class families. For an educated man, George is pretty stupid. In order to fix up education, you have to fix up some of the other problems in society. The problems with education might not be so bad then. If society gives Johnny a chance, he might have a chance of being successful with that homework.

A recent ASU student life opinion sur­ vey found that 74 percent of the student body has never used its'Student Govern­ ment Representatives to convey ideas and suggestions to the University administra­ tion. The University recognizes SGA as the voice of the students. How can the Stu­ dent Government speak for the entire stu­ dent body when less than 20 percent of the students surveyed use the representation on a regular basis? This question is a growing concern for the Student Government Association and for the active students, said SGA Vice President Reggie Murphy."We're (SGA) trying to go to students and push harder for student involvement this year," said Murphy. Murphy stressed the advantage and power of SGA for the students in influ­ encing the administration. For example, the student life survey also found that twice as many students than last year consider finances and money as their most pressing personalproblem. These students can use SGA to help with their financial difficulties, Murphy said. For example, when the University pro­ posed fee increases, Murphy said, the SGA researched the proposal and pre­ sented a revised proposal to the Adminis­ tration and Board of Trustees. For the first time in ASU history, the Board of Trust­ ees accepted the student proposal which included fewer increases. The SGA has also pushed for student involvement, according to Murphy. "We are not discouraged. We will continue to do our best," stressed Murphy. "SGA has ASU offers free pizza delivery a lot of power, but we must unify. We need students to give us ideas." The biggest complaint about SGA from students is that they do not know what is going on. Murphy defended this com­ plaint, pointing out that senators repre­ senting on-campus students are required to attend RSA meetings, post copies of Student Senate meetings each week and post his/her name, phone number and room number in the areas they repre­ sent. Tasha Roberts, an RA in Gardner, be­ lieves Senators should make a greater effort. "I sec small signs occasionally, but I have neveronce been asked by a Senator to come to a floor meeting. In order to be effective, it has to be a two-way street, but they (Senators) are the ones that need to contact people first," said Roberts. Off-campus Senators have to be more creative when informing their constitu­ ents, Murphy said. The majority of stu­ dents live off-campus and are juniors and seniors. They are harder to reach and less interested in SGA, Murphy said. Murphy believes one major problem is that students think SGA is too political. "We arenotpolitical,"Murphy said. "SGA is based on obtaining student ideas and building on those ideas." SGA also provides a good education, Murphy said. Students trying to make an idea form into a project and become real­ ity can leam how to research, write legis­ lature and deal with the administration. The survey indicated that a little over one-thirdof the students feltpositiveabout their ability to give input to the adminis­ tration. About 35 percent felt negative about their ability to give input, while a little under 30 percent were neutral. Ultimately it is the students' choice to use SGA Representatives to their advan­ tage. Students are the source of ideas. SGA provides the network and connec­ tions for students to make those ideas become action. Murphy concluded.

The Pizzeria in Trivette Hall now offers free pizza delivery to on-cam­ pus students, including students who live in Mountaineer Apartments. Student Government passed the bill lhatestablished pizza delivery inOctober, md the bill was implemented in Novem­ ber. The way the delivery system works is tot students call the Pizzeria and place toir order. Students then give their name «d socialsecurity number, and the amount of their pizza is deducted from their meal Kcount or Appalachian express account. When the Pizzeria employee delivers the pitta to the student, the student must show their identification card and sign a receipt. Tipping is not allowed. The desired outcome of the bill was to provide students with pizza delivery from to Pizzeria at no additional cost to them. The inspiration for the bill came since *chad an on-campus pizzeria,"said Doug Duncan, student affairs chairperson for "A.

The average Scholastic Aptitude Test score for Appalachian State's 1991 freshmen was 971,20 points higher than the average for the University of North Carolina system schools, according to a report released in November by the North Carolina Board of Governors. Joe Watts, Appalachian's admissions direc­ tor, said this average was 15 points higher than ASU's average freshman SAT score in 1990. Watts did not know how the school ranked among the other 15 system schools. Freshmen at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill had an average score of 1120, the highest in the system. The North Carolina School of the Arts was second among system schools with an average score of 1054. North Carolina State University, with an average of 1050, was the third andonly other system school to pass the 1,000 point mark. WinstonSalem State University had the lowest average, with a score of 730. The freshman SATscore average of the North Carolina system as a whole is on the rise. Since 1981, the system average has increased 65 points, from 886 to 951. Average scores for all North Carolina high school seniors taking the test have increased 26 points, up to 844. The na­ tional average has only increased six points since 1981. C. D. Spangler Jr., University of North Carolina system president, commends the increase in SAT averages. Spangler re­ cently announced that the average com­ bined SAT score of freshmen was the highest recorded since the system was formed. "Last year, the UNC-system wasabove the United States' average by 55 points," Spangler said. "This indicates that public schools are preparing our students better than they were before." State Superintendent Bob Etheridge said that North Carolina has gained eight points on the SAT while the nation has declined by seven points over the last three years. In the same period, Florida has lost five points, Maryland has lost 10 points and Virginia has lost 12 points. These states all have about the same num­ ber of students taking the SAT. North Carolina's average SAT score of 844 in 1991 is still behind the nation average of 896; however, the national SAT report and the UNC report show that the state is moving in the right direction. While Spangler voiced concern that the number of minority students enrolled in some system schools had dropped, Watts said, this is not the case at Appalachian. Watts said that thisyear five percent of the freshman class was minority, and this figure has remained rather stable through out the years. SAT scores for black students in North Carolina are also increasing. In 1991, the scores for black students in North Caro­ lina increased by a total of eight points, even while the number of black students taking the test increased by around 500. Average scores at the traditionally black North Carolina colleges show the state's improvement. From 1981 to 1991, scores at Fayetteville State University improved from 592 to 800, a 35.1 percent increase. Elizabeth City State University, NC A & T State University and NC Central Uni­ versity all had percentage improvements of over 20 percent. According to Etheridge, North Caro­ lina needs to continue improving. "We are not anywhere near where we should be in the national standings. Noth­ ing short of the national average is accept­ able, and even then, we must continue to emphasize student achievement," said Etheridge. "The progress North Carolina has made on the SAT can be attributed to the fact that we accepted the last place rank in 1989, said we would change it and then proceeded to do so."

Researchers at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduc­ tion at Indiana University recently con­ cluded a 1989 study of students' sexual behavior that they are preparing for pub­ lication. Preliminary findings show that of the 651 undergraduate students surveyed at Indiana University, 81 percent of the men and 75 percent of the women were not virgins and that students spend an average of two nights a week with their sexual partners. It also found that 50 percent of the men and 36 percent of the women had sex with someone they just met and, on average, students had two one-night stands in 1990. In March 1990, the Kinsey Institute published the results of a 1988 survey of 809'college students. "The most important findings from this survey reveal that students engage in sig­ nificant levels of unprotected sex, includ­ ing anal intercourse; have multiple sexual ported having anal intercourse with other partners; and have sex with partners about men. whose sexual history they may know • On average, sexually active college little," reads the article, written by the women reported having about six part­ Kinsey researchers in "Focus: A Guide to ners, including three one-night stands; AIDS Research and Counseling." men reported an averageof about 11 sexual The study also found that; partners, including five one-night stands. • More than 90 percent of the students • The type of relationship in which a were heterosexual.

"Given what is known about the condi­ tions under which HIV may be most eas­ ily spread, there is cause to be concerned about heterosexual college students who engage in high-risk sexual activities," the researchers concluded. �>• The Annalarhun.

By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor I believe I will attend "rock" concerts until I mi unable to stand and wave my arms up in the ,ir while releasing a wild hoop and holler! Many of my revelations and meaningful experiences are a result of being at these spontaneous happenings. I'm not referring to the theological debate I had last summer with that cute guy with the purple and green mohawk during the last half of the Jimmy Buffet concert, hut a woman that I conversed with before I met the mohawk dude. I need to back up and tell the entire story. I worked (and played) as a camp counselor last summer for children ages 5 to 17. We gave exciting weeks to young, old, black and white children. At that young age, most, if not all, of the children were unaware there was any social class difference between the rich presbyterian children and the social service children. The only difference between them was who played fair, who was nice, who was loud or who snored and woke them up in the middle of the night. If only they could remain unpreju­ diced. There was one child named Mark who I pampered that week. A tanned plump child that went to my former church, and I knew his ily to be considerably wealthy and gous. ,When he would climb on my lap iford Bedtime, he would tell me about his cabin. Jerome talks really loud in his sleep, and I j can't get to sleep at night." "Did you tell your counselor?" "Yeah, but when he tells him to stop, he just starts getting upset in his sleep again later. Why i does he get so upset?" "1 don't know. Do you like Jerome in the (daytime?" "Yeah, but sometimes he can be bossy and shove me around some. He's not too bad." Mark's opinions of his cabinmates were soley based on their actions and the way they | acted towards him. His opinions were very different from his mother that talked to me at fa end of the three day camp. "Canda not that it matters or anything, but do you always have this many (whispered) Dr. Paul Lin, a lecturer in the department of foreign languages and literature, was recently ap­ pointed secretary to the president of the Republic of China (Taiwan). His new job began this month. Lee Teng-hui, the current president of Taiwan, became friends with Lin when the two attended college together. They shared a common concern for Taiwan and its people. However, they went their separate ways when Lin earned his doctorate degree from the University of Texas-Austin, and Teng-hui earned his doctorate from Cornell Uni­ versity. Despite the fact that the two men were separated during their graduate studies, it is common in Chinese society for college friends to remain life­ time friends. Classmates in Chinese and Japanese society are always considered a class and continue to be close throughout their lives. "These ideas that we have shared since our college days now can become a reality, rather than the empty slogans we had in our young days," Lin said. He considers this new job to be an adventure. Lin, who retired with faculty emeritus status from Oklahoma State University before coming to ASU, had planned to work here until he retired a second time. "My wish was to stay in Boone and retire for a second time," said Lin. "This is not a simple job offer, but a call from my president I have no other choice but to answer the call." Appalachian has not heard from Lin since he left the United States after Christmas. Since he has faced such a dramatic change, the faculty here is allowing him to get settled into his new home before corresponding with him. Lin hopes to help bring advancement to his country by serving as secretary. "I will help my president accelerate the democratization of the country and its governmental system," he said. "We will work to obtain the optimal economic system and bring about maximum welfare for the people." One of Lin's major duties in Taiwan will be to translate the speeches given by the president into English. He was also hired to help promote Tai­ wan. Taiwan is governed by the Nationalist party.

Lin attended college with Lee Teng-hui, the current president of Taiwan. Friends and faculty expect to hear from Lin in the near future. Professor present during JFK murder trial ASU News Bureau Richard Stahl was in a New Orleans courtroom the day the Zapruder film was shown for the first time in public. He was also present the day a key witness recanted testimony that mighthave changed the outcome of the Clay Shaw trial. Stahl, an Appalachian State University professor, was work­ ing for a petroleum company in New Orleans in 1969 when District Attorney Jim Garrison tried Shaw for conspiring toassassinate John F.Kennedy. "At first I didn't realize the significance of the trial," Stahl said."We were fingerprinted and pho­ tographed," Stahl said of the limited number of spectators allowed to see the trial. "I would be at the courthouse by 5 a.m. to stand in line to get in," he said. Only 100 to 150 spectators were admitted each day. Abraham Zapruder's home movie captured the assassination as Kennedy rode in a motorcade through Dealy Plaza in Dallas. Garrison subpoe­ naed the film, which until 1969 had been withheld from the public, in an attempt to prove more than one person was responsible for Kennedy's death. "They set up a screen and projector at the front of the courtroom," Stahl said. Stahl and others watched the film in silence. "Everyone, every spectator, was almost physically ill after seeing the film. There's no way Kennedy could have survived." But perhaps more memorable than the film was an incident involving a "key witness," Stahl said. "Garrison had been trying to prove that Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald and David Ferrie had conspired to assassinate the president while Oswald was living in New Orleans." Witnesses who could testify to the men's rela­ tionship, however, began to die mysteriously or refused to testify. Those that did make it to the witness stand were discredited by defense lawyers because of past criminal activities or lifestyles. Early in the trial an encyclopedia salesman, whose name Stahl no longer remembers, said he had seen Shaw, Oswald and Ferrie together in New Orleans in 1962 and had heard them conspiring to kill Kennedy. The day before the trial ended the man demanded to be returned to the witness stand. "We had heard testimony from ballistics experts and other witnesses and I thought 'Well, this will pretty well wrap up the trial,"' Stahl said. "Then this witness demands to be put back on the witness stand." Since neither the prosecution nor the defense had recalled the man, Stahl remembers a lot of discussion between the judge and the law­ yers. "He (the witness) was scared," Stahl said. "He had written his statement on a piece of paper."Stahl recalled the man's words. "I'm going to read care­ fully and if anyone can't hear or understand, raise your hand, and I will repeat it," the man said. "He read 12 different items contradicting every­ thing he had testified to earlier," Stahl said. The man said he had never seenClay Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald or David Ferrie and had never seen either of them together. "I turned to the woman sitting next to me and said 'This guy just committed perjury,"' Stahl said. The woman was the salesman's secretary. "The person I work for would never say what he's saying," the woman told Stahl. "They've got­ ten to him somehow." The woman went on to tell Stahl that her employer had been in hiding, calling her 22 times over 14 days from different locations. He was hiding, she said, because he was afraid someone was after him. " Court was adjourned and the next day the jury began its deliberations, Stahl said. In less than an hour Shaw was acquitted. Stahl said he felt the outcome would have been different if the salesman had not changed his testi­ mony. "I felt they would have convicted Shaw if the salesman had not recanted his testimony."

Johnson art exhibit featured in the Catherine Smith Gallery in Farthing Auditorium. The formal name for the internationally famous exhibit is "Fred G. Johnson: Sideshow Banners." The last day of the show is Feb. 14. Perhaps you have seen them at the State Fair, or maybe at a carnival passing through your home­ town. Perchance when you were a small child you cried into your mother's shoulder at the picture of the bearded lady or gasped in awe and begged to see the actual real live unicorn instead of simply the artist's rendition. We have all seen them some­ where, the bizarre images created in bright, almost garish colors, inviting us to come in, come in and see the LIVE freaks of nature for only pennies. Chances are, however, that the pictures you have gazed at in a strange blend of wonder, repul­ sion and attraction were airbrushed on metal or wood and are not the same as old fashioned, oil-on canvas sideshow banners. It is this dying art form that is being saluted at theCatherine SmithGallery through a wonderful exhibit of original sideshowbanners. The exhibit, which opened Dec. 2, is called "Fred G. Johnson: Sideshow Banners." It was organized originally by Debra Donate of the Illi­ nois Art Gallery and is now supported by the Illinois Art Council. It has been exhibited at many galleries and museums abroad since its conception in September of 1988. Fred Johnson was bom in Chicago in 1892, and went on to become the world's most famous side­ show banner painter, a post he kept for 65 years. His work attracted people to events such as the 1933 World's Fair and various Chicago amuse­ ment parks. The exhibit was made possible when the John­ son family allowed pieces from their private col­ lection to be shown. Other pieces were obtained from the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. There are 18 banners in the exhibit. When asked about public response to the ex­ hibit, Terry Suhre, the Art Gallery Director at die Catherine Smith gallery, said he was pleased."Ev­ erybody really enjoys (the banners), and I think it's because many of us have memories attached to them. It's simple, easy to understand, accessible art." Another interesting fact about the banners is that, although they were painted over a span of more than 30 years (from the 1930s to the 1960S), there is no noticeable change in the style of the artist. For example, the "Laugh With Dolly" ban­ ner, painted in 1962, does not have the psychedelic colors associated with this time period, and is indistinguishable instyle from the "5-Legged Cow" banner, painted in the late '30s. Suhre attributes this continuity to the timelessness of the circus and carnival. "The circus exists outside of time. When you enter a big top. All beliefs of the modem world are suspended. All modem currents, including those in art, are irrel­ evant," he said. •• "There seems to be a sincere interest in native and folk art in this area, and that is definitely what this is. Plus, it's funny! There is an unintentional misspelling on one of the banners, but it just adds to its charm and realism," Suhre said. The last day to observe this exhibit is Feb. 14. The Catherine Smith Gallery is open from 10 a.fh. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Career choices available for ambitious graduates By KELLY KEITH Appalachian Staff WriteT According to an ASU alumnus, who presently works with the United States Senate, determ inanon is the key to landing a good job. Spencer Denton, a 1988 graduate, is an office systems analyst in Washington, D.C. This job requires Denton to provide Senate offices with various automation options and assist senators in requesting new equipment and services. His job involves everyday contact with "the big people on Capitol Hill" and, as a result, he has many exciting stories. "One of my favorite memories is a yachting trip I went on,"said Denton."The senator from Nevada invited me to cruise the Chesapeake Bay on his 80 ft. yacht. Many other senators were there, and it was interesting to interact with them personally after working with them professionally. My job allows me to meet many well-known people. Just a few months ago, I shook Vice President Dan Quayle's hand." Before working at the Senate, Denton w orked foT a company that installed scanners in the Senate offices. Denton was in and out of the Senate fre­ quently and met many of the United States Senators through this job. "I recognized that there was opportunity in the Senate, and I applied foT a position," Denton said. "When you're applying for a job, I think it's impor­ tant to look at whai kind of overall experience you're going to get from that paiticular work expe­ rience. Too many recent graduates simply look at the salary rather than the overall picture of what the job has to offer. "I'm happy that working in the Senate is giving me great advancement opportunities for my fu­ ture." Denton, 26, majored in Industrial Psychology at Appalachian. He is now pursuing amaster's degree in information systems at the University of Mary­ land night school. "Although I am not directly working in my field of undergraduate study, I learned many valuable skills at ASU," Denton said. "I think good commu­ nication. both oral and written, is essential in any area you decide to work m. Along with communi­ cation skills is the ability to be an effective listenfcr. Both of these qualities are extremely important, because you will use them in any profession you decide to pursue." "When I first visited ASU, I fell in love with the campus." said Denton. "I knew I wanted lo goto college in Boone. I still remember the good ole days skiing the slopes. I also remember the fun times camping and hiking at Linville Falls." ; �The Aonalnehmn Tuesday Frhrmry4 l°°l To the soul, Deja Vu, but not understood,.. READY FOR A CHANGE?

Marshall (CPS)—Academic eligibility standards for freshman athletes will be even tougher beginning in 1995. The change is one of many aprprroved by the National Colle­ giate Athletic Association at its 1992 an­ nual convention. The new academic requirement in­ volves increasing an incoming student athlete's minimum grade promt average to 2/5 in 13 core curriculum courses and establishing a sliding scale that balances a student's standardized test scores with his or her grade average. For example, the scale would allow an athlete with a 2.0 to comprete if he or she scored a minimum of 900 on the SAT or 21 on the ACT. If the student has less than a 2.0 grade promt or scores less than 700 on the SAT or 17 on the ACT, he or she would not be eligible to play sprorts. Previously, Propxrsition 48 slated that athletes must have a minimum 700 on the SAT or 18 on the ACT with a minimum 2.0 grade promt in 11 core curriculum courses. No sliding scale existed. Coaches of the Big East Conference had the most vocal oprprosition to the new rule, prrimarily because of a continued complaint against using standardized lest scores as an eligibility cut-off device. The NCAA President's Commission drafted the newly aprprroved academic package. ,>[Tie Stance medley squad of Carrie cbtnson, Jessica Parkhan, Julie Ander0y *"dDee Anna Davis broke a 10-year fir v ^recwd85Dtcyclocked 12:50.3to sixth overall in the race. lather strong finishers for the Lady ^"nuuneers included the 4x200 meter I GJ te*m of Alicia Foust- Mce Vinson' *ith •.L-azenby which finished first • 'time of 1:47.5. . l-H/.J.

Thompison notched his third straight double-digit performance with 13 points. Ross and Powers combined for 22 points for the Mountaineers, all in the opening half. The Buccaneers also built a doublefigure lead in the first half, thanks to the shooting of a red-hot Talford. Talford scored four three-point baskets in tie first six minutes of the game, as East Tennes­ see raced to an early 21-11 lead. The Bucs held a 34-25 advantage with 4:31 to go in the half, before the Moun­ taineers rallied. Ross scored on a threepoint play and then nailed a three-point shot to bring the Apjpjs to within 34-31. Point guard Rodney Peel then launched a three-pointer of his own to knot the con­ test at 34-34 with 2:22 left before halftime. ETSU then regained the lead and an alley-oop jam from Dennis at the 1:03 mark gave the Bucs a 38-35 lead at inter­ mission. The Apps had a chance to take the lead into the dressing room but were plagued by 45 pjercent free throw shooting and eight turnovers in the first half. "When we settled down, we started playing pjretty good," Apke said. "Some missed free throws and layupjs kept us from being in the lead at halftime."

"About six years ago when prroprositions 48 and 42 were aprprroved, it was the beginning of academic reform (in the NCAA)," said Rick Evrard, director of legislative services at the NCAA. "This is just a continuation." Other proprositions aprprroved at the NCAA convention include: •Allowing student athletes to request information about their protential in the prrofessional sprorts market without losing eligibility—as long as the student does not retain an agent ing them to seek "job advice" like other students. Student athletes,however, cannot enter the NBA or NFL draft and retain eligibil­ ity. The Pacific-10 Conference oprprosed the prroprosition, fearing that institutions might be held liable if an athlete says he or she received bad advice from his or her university. •Allowing coaches of major sprorts prowerhouses tocontinue collecting money for prroduct endorsements and television apprearances, but first requiring prermission from the schools' presidents to do so.

And, the full NCAA membership agreed to officially oprprose a federal mandate writ­ ten into the prending Higher Education Reauthorization Act that requires the pub­ lic disclosure of athletics-related revenue and exprenditures at schools. At the close of the convention, most said they were satisfied with the outcome. "The 1992 NCAA convention has proved to be one of the most significant in recent memory," Creed Black, of the Knight Foundation Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, said.

The Lady Mountaineers raised their record to 7-11 on the season, while the Lady Buccaneers droppjed to a measly 1 15 on the year. "Charleston Southern is the weakest team we've played this year," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said after the contest "Everybody we have w as involved during times when we were doing things very well. "Some might wonder what we get out of playing a weaker opponent" Robinson continued. "This was a team win. I think we gained a lot from it" Apjpalachian State led throughout the contest as they outclassed the Lady Bucs from the opjening tip>-off. The Mountain­ eers doubled the point total of Charleston Southern in the opjening half, racing to a 35-17 lead at intermission. ASU continued to pjour it on in the second half, opjening the half with a 134 binge.

WOA muLLlNUN ^ " discount cards should have arrived earlier It's finally here. The long-awaited, highly-anticipated, student discount card is here. Of course, it's six months into the academic year, which means the year is three-fifths over, and a portion of students have already departed, exiling after first semester. So, is the card as valuable as it should be? No. The discount card is a good idea. This year's card is deemed the Appala­ chian State University, Greater Boone Area V.I.P. Continuous Savings Card. Its production was handled by V.I.P. Limited, a Cary based company. According to Reggie Murphy, studentgovernment association vice president, V.I.P. approached SGA with the idea of issuing the discount card. V.I.P. then sold the advertising and printed the cards. SGA's role was merely distribu­ tion, Murphy said. So why was that distribution so late? Murphy blames V.I.P. Limited. "We couldn't distribute the cards until we had them," he said. "They (V.I.P. representatives) told us the cards would be ready by the end of October, and it was January before we received them." Production ran three months behind schedule. That'sa tremendous amount of time, when the academic year lastsonly 10 months. The delay deletes some of the card's usability. A number of students graduated in December, others left the university at the end of the fall semestgr. Thoge Stydenis are HWP use the cards. If the discount cards had arrived tn the fall, those students could have benefited from their use as well. However, in January, they cannot. Students spent the entire fall semester without a discount card. The USA Discount Card, which served Appalachian students last year, expired in August, 1991. So, even though SGA promised a card was on its way, arrival time was behind schedule. Murphy said SGA was charged with distributing the cards; however, that too has been less than praiseworthy this year. Distribution has appeared random, with some students receiving the cards and others not knowing they exist. Murphy said on-campus senators were responsible for distribution in the residence halls, and SGA set up tables in the student union and cafeteria to distribute to off-campus students. In the past, the discount cards were delivered to each student in his or her post office boxes. Not this year. Murphy said V.I.P. was unwilling to pay postal fees to have the cards placed in post office boxes; SGA did not have the funding necessary to mail the cards. So inadequate distribution took place, wth some students missing out on the opportunity to receive a card. The savings card is an excellent idea. The card helps unite students with ^businesses. By advertising through the card, these businesses show they are devoted to helping students, who live on very limited incomes. In turn, students should be willing to frequent the businesses who advertise through TJP. Students should use the card. Students carry the card with you, and display it when purchasing goods or services from the advertising businesses. If you have yet to receive acard, stop by the second floor of Workman Hall pick one up. Cards are available from the SGA bulletin board, located on d* SGa hall in Workman. As a student service, the discount card is advantageous. However, the card ^ould be distributed earlier in the year. This year's card doesn't expire until November, but that doesn' t aid students who leave in May. Many graduate in thousands of others leave the campus during the summer months. So, is die card as beneficial as it should be? No. The card should serve the most students for the greatest length of time, jwefore, the card should be in students' hands during the academic year. tudents should be given the cards in August and should be able to use them until May. By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor I am a regular customer in the Sweet Shop, mainly because I get an uncontrollable craving for chocolate ice cream about 3 p.m. everyday, but I also go there for other food items such as bagel chips. On one of my daily trips. I noticed the yellow slips of paper posted to a bulletin board. The sample slip said, "Write your comments here, pin it to the board and we'll get back to you the next day.— The Sweet Shop."The bulletin boards and yellow slips of paper have become a regular feature in Food Service locations throughout campus—good job. Food Services, thank you very much, we needed someplace to voice our opinions. One day last week I was picking up a drink lid and a straw for my lemonade and some napkins, I read through the yellow slips of paper in the Sweet Shop, just to see what other people had to say about the place that gets most of my mealcard money. One particular comment on the board caught my attention.The card read something along the lines of, "Please enforce the no-smoking area! If the Sweet Shop has a no-smoking area, why are there ashtrays on every table?" The Sweet Shop staff responded saying they would try harder to enforce non-smoking in the nosmoking areas. When I went back the next time, ashtrays had been removed from some tables. Various proposals have been raised in the past concern­ ing eliminating smoking in public places, period. When these proposals went public, many people raised steam about smoker's rights and the proposals were never made law. I don't think anyone could argue that smokers do not have rights. The First Amendment guarantees all Ameri­ cans the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and if that pursuit of happiness entails the pursuit of destruction of our bodies, well—so be it. Smokers have the right to smoke if it so pleases them. But why do the rights of a small minority of people take precedence over the rights of the rest of us to breathe clean air, smell like something besides smoke, and eat food that doesn't taste like burnt tobacco without choking after In fact, breathing in second-hand smoke for any period of every bite? time may make an illness worse.

Kennedy file petition table. I would like to boot the harasser straight to Iraq for his lack of respect for the right to peaceful assembly and petition. Since I can't do that, I am going to try and explain why I think the files should be opened. Personally, I be­ lieve the 1963 assassination involved a conspiracy. But what is most important to me is that John Fitzgerald Kennedy is my hero. I want to know who is responsible for killing one of the greatest figures in our history. First of all, I want to acknowledge that he was not perfect. Yes, he did havefaults, including havingcommitted adultery. Nev­ ertheless, who he slept with does not change his courage or impact on us. Fur­ thermore, I challenge anyone to find me a historical hero who does not have one or two blemishes on his/her sainthood appli­ cation. Kennedy was a man of ultimate cour­ age. Due to a back ailment, he suffered constant agony. However, the archives (which is unfortunately all my generation has of the man) show a handsome, smiling face. It took a very large amount of cour­ age to put on that charming smile to hide the suffering. Anyone who thinks that Kennedy did not have courage does not understand the excruciating agony of con­ stant back pain. There areother examples of Kennedy's courage. PT-109, volunteering for the ser­ vice against doctors' advice and the many persona] losses he experienced were all examples. Anotherexample exists.It is an example of the courage that cost Kennedy his life. On his 21st birthday, Kennedy inher­ ited from his father a SI million trust fund. (Keep in mind that SI million was worth much more than itis now.) With his money, he could have been content living the life of a rich playboy. Instead, Kennedy chose to serve his fellow Americans. It was his courageous desire to serve others that ended up costing him his life at the young age of 46. Kennedy inspired a generation of Americans. During his presidency, a re­ newed interest in and efforts toward egalitarianism and humanism developed. He inspired many college students to post­ pone getting rich for a couple of years by serving the less fortunate. Kennedy did this by establishing the Peace Corps. Per­ haps if our generation had a leader with such charm, charisma and example, we could stop being known as the "me gen­ eration." Kennedy was certainly a better president than the overrated actor whose only presidential activities were sleeping.

There are many reasons why the Kennedy files should be made public.One of the reasons is, of course, that as citizens we should know if our government was involved. But, for me, there is another important reason. Kennedy was a coura; geous man. He provided an example of dedication, service and true concern for others. I greatly admire this man. I want to know who is responsible for robbing Ithe world of Kennedy. I want the persons responsible to go down in history. I want all of posterity to know of their unspeak­ able crimes. It is probably too latei to punish them. But, I want history to neyec forget. Likewise, I want history to always honor the memory of the man known commonly as JFK. » Alumni can't visit Quinn regularly To the Editor I am a console worker at the Quinn Center. I decided to write after reading the letter you printed from Ruth Green. I do not understand why people cannot abide by the rules set up by the Office of Recreational Sports. There is a purpose for not allowing residents of Boone entrance into the Quinn Center. It is true we are not allowed to compete with local businesses, but I think there is more to this rule than that one reason. The Quinn Center is to be used by students who are currently paying student fees. If every alumnus in Watauga County was allowed to enter the Quinn. the facility would be so congested that no one would be comfortable. Just because an alumnus lives in Boone is not really a disadvan­ tage as opposed to an alumnus who lives out of town. Both are allowed to enter the Quinn on weekends (as a guest) which is the time most out-oftown alumni would visit. As for the subject of student fees previously paid by alumni. I am sure that the percentage taken from each student does not even compare to the cost of joining a local health club.

Appalachian State University has listed ^novation as its top building project, nquesting funding torenovate since 1986, (cording to Bill Winkler, associate vice -sincellor for physical affairs. However, judo the state'scontinuing budgetshort­ ly [herequest had been overlooked until l»l. Pie last funding ASU received was ]9J7-88 when the legislature funded the talker College of Business, providing lalfof the funding each year. Other UNC ijsiem schools suffered similar monetary rejection, when no money was allocated for building projects in 1989 or 1990. However, the financial debacle did not prevent the theater department from con­ tinuing their performances, despite the asbestos in the ceiling and thedifficulty in hanging lights in a structure that was built in 1937 to serve as an auditorium for Appalachian High School, said Dr. Susan Cole, chairperson of the theater and dance department. Part of the renovation includes major changes in the existing structure of the theater suggested by Dr. Frank Mohler, director of ASU theater and scenic and lighting design. The new design will flipflop the audience and the backstage area, allowing more room for an orchestra pit, dressing rooms and construction of a lobby on the outside of the building facing the Walker College of Business. Problems with the Chapell Wilsonstruc­ ture have often led to extended perfor­ mances. During a production of the 17th century comedy Tartuffe, an actress came on the stage each night to recant experi­ ences with the dressing rooms. The audience was amused by stories of flooded dressing rooms, waterbugs swim­ ming by and mice sharing the quarters. However, Colesaid these stories were not fictional. During a dress rehearsal, a mouse fell through the ceiling into the aisle but was able to recover and then scamper across the light board. Cole said. The difficulty in containing the rodent and bird population is due to the building structure, which was built with openeaves to allow the circulation of air, Cole said. However, despite Cole's decision to have the eaves closed several years ago, the cold air and the creatures persist, find­ ing their way into the auditorium. Despite the theater's problems, Winkler and Cole agree the university has made a conscious effort to strengthen the cultural atmosphere of ASU by investing money into projects like An Applachian Sum­ mer, increased programming at Farthing Auditorium and a museum in the expanded Plemmons Student Union.

Trivette Market expands selections, lowers prices lyDAWN MCGUIRE jppilachian Staff Writer Students who live on Appalachian's aitim side no longer have to trudge ' nitscampus every time they run out of tad or milk. Hie new market, located in Trivette M, opened Jan. 13, just in time for the •pring semester. The Trivette market is an expanded and union oftheWelbomHall market on the fist side of campus. Both markets carry from basic grocery items, snack foods and bev­ erages. The Trivette market is larger than the Welbom Hall market and offers students a wider variety of food items, as well as many non-food items. "The Trivette market offers an amaz­ ing amount of food and has a larger vari­ ety than the East market. We have a bigger selection of canned foods and a much wider range of snack and dessert type foods. We also carry fresh fruit and more in prepared dinners," said Pat Weaver, assistant director of Food Services. The West market also offers students non-food items that the East market does not carry. These items range from pantyhose to motor oil. There is a section of magazines as well as a section that carries Appalachian sportswear. Students can purchase aspirin and other medicine. Although the food items can be paid for with an Appalachian meal card, the non­ food items can only be paid for by cash, check or Appalachian Express. "I like the new market because they have a greater selection, but I don't like that you canonly buy stuff like aspirin and IjCANDA F. SMITH fanlachian Et Cetera Editor The Student Affairs committee of the Student Government Association wants to tell the administration that students don't appreciate having to go out when the wind chill factor is minus 55, accord­ ing to Doug Duncan, the student affairs chairperson. "I am trying to write some legislation to get the university to enforce the cold weather policy," said Duncan. "I don't want to change thepolicy; I just want to be sure that it is enforced."

Weaver said the new market has been "absolutely inundated with business" and that larger orders are being placed. According to Weaver, the West market does about $4,500 worthof business a day and that the East market's business has picked up since the new market opened. It does about $1,400 a day. Weaver said she has heard students say that they want both markets open, one for each side of campus. Also, she is respond ing to student demands for a larger variety of health foods. The Trivette market is open Monday through Friday,11 a.m. -12 p.m. and Sat­ urday and Sunday, 5 p.m.-12 p.m. The Welbom market is open Monday through Friday, 10:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Administrators defend decision while Senators prepare bill By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor also opposition to some of ^°fding of the new election bylaws. ^:;ere reviewed by individual para' as well, to change any question"* words.

The only reason a lot of people use the market is because they can put it on their meal cards,"said ASU freshman KeithSalyards. " I try not to shop there too much though, because the stuff is more expensive than in a grocery store, and I feel like I'm getting ripped off." Despite students' complaints of high prices. Weaver said that the prices in both markets have dropped since the Trivette market opened. "Because of the new market, we have been able to buy from a new distributor. App*l*cbtsn Hnoto oy Irey Moracfc TEMPERATURES DROP TO NEGATIVE 55 DEGREES: As a bone chilling cold weather snap came through Boone, students went to class in negative 55 degree weather. On Thursday, Jan. 16 the wind chill factor fell to minus 55, but ASU students were still expected to trudge to the class­ rooms. This one thing brought about the idea for the legislation, according to Duncan. "I contemplated not going to class that day. This is the first time it has been that cold sinceI've been up here," said Duncan. "I did decide to go to class, but I'd rather opt to not go to class than to try to go to class and not make it" One reason Duncan is writing this leg­ islation is because he said he heard several students complaining about the cold weather. Another reason is because Duncan said there is a chance temperatures and wind chill factors could be as cold as or colder than they were Jan. 16 before this winter is over. "It's not a limited possibility that this will happen again considering how weird the weather is here," said Duncan. "If by chance we do have another extremely frigid day, I hope the administrators will take this into account and heed the advice of the students." AS U's inclement weather policy states that the vice chancellor for business af­ fairs, the associate vice chancellor for physical operations and the director of public safety and security work together to consider temperature, wind chill factor and road, parking lot and walkway condi­ tions in deciding whether tocancel classes. These people confer with the other vice chancellors, who make the decision. The vice chancellor for academic affairs de­ cides if classes are cancelled for a half or full day. Ward Zimmerman, vice chancellor for business affairs, said he believes the in­ clement weather policy was enacted cor­ rectly on Jan. 16. "At 6:45 I went by security, although they would have already gotten in touch with me if they thought the situation was life-threatening," Zimmerman said. At 7 a.m. Zimmerman met with the other vice chancellors, and they came to the conclusion that they would continue to monitor the situation. According to Zimmerman, by 7 a.m. quite a few of ASU's campus staff were already on the job. Zimmerman said that he feels that hu­ man judgement is probably the best way to make decisions in this situation while considering location. "Weather like Boone had on Jan. 16 would have shut down Miami, Fla., but Boone has had this kind of weather be­ fore," said Zimmerman. ASU is a multi-million dollar institu­ tion that is charged to provide a learning experience, according to Zimmerman. "If we were to shut down, we would deprive peopleof that educational experi­ ence they came here for," said Zimmerman. Duncan is in the process of writing the legislation now and said he hopes that the legislation will go before the senate to be voted on in two weeks.

According to the office of Student De­ velopment, all the schools in the UNC system prorate student fees. Currently, ASU students taking less than seven hours do not have to pay student fees.These fees include the student activity, athletic, book rental, health service and the bonded and indebtedness fee. Part-time students have the option to only pay for the programs they wish to use, with theexception of the health service fee. Currently part-time students have to purchase their books, but under the new system they can opt to use the book rental system by paying the entire book rental fee. However, even though part-time stu­ dents use University buildings, they are not obligated now to pay the Building and Indebtedness fees. Changes made by the prorating system will allow part-time students to pay a portion of all the required fees. "We think this is a fair and equitable way to apportion fees," said Vice Chan­ cellor of Student Development Greg Blimling. All part-time students will now have the same access to on campus facilities and benefitsas full-time students, Blimling said. Hopefully, this will encourage parttime students to become more involved with on-campus activities. "Education is more than going to school," Blimling pointed out. The new fee structure will look like this: students taking up to five hours will be accessed one third of the normal fees; students taking up to eight hours will pay two thirds of the fees, and students taking over nine hours will pay the entire amount. This added collection of fees, which will take in an additional $200,000 per semester, will go into the individual ac­ counts. For example: book rentals stand to gain $26,000 per semester. Blimling said this amount is not a lot, considering 600 more students will now be getting their books from the system. The increased amount collected for Buildings and Indebtedness will be used to pay off buildings, do increased mainte­ nance and build further additions,Blimling said. �.The Appalachian. Thursday.

She attended Appalachian as an undergraduate, also in voice perfor­ mance. Club Candlelight will start the semeswith a performance by Appalachian's f Ensemble I. The Jazz Ensemble will uy big band jazz tunes by Gershwin, nj-ngton, Goodman and many others all „ jth a contemporary twist. •The music will be traditional in the e 0f the tunes we're playing. We are laying them in a more contemporary nature as far as performance and arrange­ ment," said director Todd Wright. Singer Roberta Fergueson will perform poday with theJazz Ensemble. Fergueson will perform three pieces with the band."I I just Found Out About Love," a Count Basie nine, "Everyday I Sing the Blues," another Basie tune and "Skylark," by Hoagy Carmichael. ••A lot of talented musicians make up the Jazz Ensemble; I'm glad they allowed me to sing with them," said Fergueson. "I started singing, like most people, in church. I have enjoyed performing with the en­ semble last year during two concerts." Several members of the Jazz Ensemble will break into smaller quintets and sex­ tets to perform other jazz works. Some of the music the band will play includes "All of Me" by Thad Jones, "Our Love is Here to Stay" by GeorgeGershwin, arranged by Ted Nash and "Don't be That Way" by Benny Goodman. "This is a new arrangement associated with Goodman," said Wright. Other jazz artisits to perform include Thelonius Monk, Bob Mintzer, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane and Duke Ellington. "The arrangements you will hear are more typical of something you would hear on The Tonight Show,"said Wright. "This is big band contemporary jazz." "We are not going to be playing in the style of Glen Miller which everyone asso­ ciated with big band," said Wright. "This won't be a society band." The Jazz Band is made up of five saxo­ phones, five trumpets, five trombones and B WILLIAM PURCELL a rhythm section consisting of piano, gui­ tar, bass and drums. The music the ensemble will play will be combined tunes that members have been working on for this performance. A later concert in Farthing by the Jazz Ensemble will consist of entirely new pieces. Come out to Club Candlelight expect­ ing a good time with some hard hitting original jazz performances. As always, the Jazz Band features outstanding solo­ ists. The Jazz Ensemble will perform in Farthing Auditorium on Feb. 22 with re­ nown percussionist Peter Erskine. "He is aheavy-weight drummer. This cat is bad," said Wright. Erskine will be the guest soloist at the North West All-State Band Clinic which is sponsored by the ASU School of Music.

The Second Step will step back in on Boone once more during the band's Southern tour. If you missed The Second Step the last time they rolled into Boone, don't miss it again. The Second Step lights up the stage with an on-stage energy that is equally matched by the intense energy of their music. The band really knows how to connect with the audience and how to hive a good time on stage. The Second Step always gets thecrowd into the show. Often lead singer Miriam Phifer will leap into the audience to dance and sing. During the performance last semester. Second Step T-shirts appeared in the au­ dience, and the audience started singing along with the band. You know a band is good when people know the lyrics and are singing along with the band so soon. The band'ssouthern tour features seven cities in North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. "We are hitting the road to push our new tape. We are basically going to hit the hot spots, and that includes Boone," said Tim Champeaux. The Second Step is, in a word, diverse. The members are diverse in their talents and backgrounds, and the band's music covers several styles and genres. The rock-side of the music features Stan Pillis on guitar, Etienne Lytle on keyboard, percussionist Ivan Katz and Wayne Hammond on bass. This solid rhythm section provides the underlying driving pulse that is accented by the horn section and pulled together by lead vocal­ ist Phifer. Mark Henry, Champeaux and Josh Rabinowitz make up the screaming horn section which is featured more in the ethno-funk side of the band's sound. The band'sethno-funk, reggae sound is definitely in step with the college crowd. The band demands unprecedented stamina from both musicians and listeners. The band creates a sea of motion on the dance floor equally matched by the vis­ ible enthusiasrrf the band puts into the show. The band has a tape out with nine cuts. New on the tape are the songs "Wack," "Do You know This Man," "Weed" and "Cage of Fear." "I Want You Back" is a Jackson Five song not on the tape but is one of the band's most requested songs. The song incorporates screaming jazz licks from The Jetsons. New albums reviewed »\ The comedian with the Wright Stuff Generation X releases greatest hits Generation X, known to many as Billy Hoi's band has compiled 15 songs into fie "Perfect Hits" album. Generation X wived on the London punk rock scene in j Novemberof 1976,yettheydidn'tplayby pwk rock rules. Billy Idol, the band's lead vocalist and guitarist, along with bassist Tony James, k»s a taste for pop and most of all, dreams of stardom. The band was not afraidof commercial"n. Generation X didn't concentrate all of their song-writing efforts al rebellion Bite most of the English punk bands of the Ofte. James had played in numerous other ) Punk bands and was intent on doing things his way. We say what we think; we do what we "tit. We play by nobody's rules; we ton t play by punk rock rules," James said. The "Perfect Hits" album displays all Jeenergy and attitude one could imagine. The album shows the bands different sides, om the early punk sound to the side of h>nd that remixed and studio produced ""tgSi even before dance remixes were Popular. These contrasting styles make on interesting and entertaining album. The songs deal with everything from joolol issues to dancing. Topics range u °tn teen sex and drugs to shunning your a eldeis\ begins with "Dancing With i RnSC^ W^'c^ many will recognize as J V Idol s song.The song was originally recorded by Generation X. The song is still a great dance/rock song today. It is interesting to note that the song was in­ spired by a visit to a Tokyo disco with mirrored walls. Songs like"Your Genera­ tion," "Wild Youth," "Day to Day" and "Youth, Youth, Youth" all deal with re­ bellion, typical of punk music. There are also fun songs like "Ready, Steady, Go" that focuses on the love of '60s rock 'n' roll and a cute line about Cathy McGowen. "One Hundred Punks" pokes fun at the typical punk rock crowd decked out in leather and chains. It gener­ ally makes a statement about conformity and everyone tending to want to be like someone else. The one weak link in this album is the bands attempt at studio remixing, "Wild Dub." I don't know if the band made this song as a joke or not, but the song really is awful and should not have been put on the album. On a more serious note, "Kiss Me Deadly" shows the downside of Youth Culture in talking about sex, drugs and violence. "Perfect Hits" also previews a previ­ ously unreleased song, "New Order." "Gimme Some Truth" is a John Lennon cover tune. Also on the album is the band's biggest UK hit, "King Rocker." This album is a must for any punk fans as well as those who like to explore musi­ cal boundaries. THE WARPIPES "HOLES IN THE HEAVENS" The Warpipes may not be a household name, but those they have worked with See NEW page 6 "Colours" is a cut about racial unity which is a strong issue with the band. "We don't want to preach, but this is an issue too important to ignore," said Champeaux. The band has shot a video which has been aired on MTV for the song "Colours." The band has worked with several top artists and bands including: Chaka Khan, Keith Richards, Carlos Santana, I Tal, Otis Day and the Knights, Lionel Hamp­ ton, DizzyGellespie, Tracy Chapman and the New York Philharmonic. The Second Step will bring their high energy rock and funk show to Sollecito's tonight guaranteeing the hottest night of hard hitting music and body sweating dance you can experience in one night. Steven Wright returns i aAq By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer "Jazz is the Teacher" is on the tape, and it is a jazz-funk song that waxes philo­ sophical on the theological role AfricanAmerican music has taken in society. "Wild Kingdom" is a song heavy with guitar and a driving bass that gives off a metal tint. "Culturally Dead" has a hard hitting melodic line with all instruments at forte while most of the lyrics are backed up by a breakdown of guitar, bass and drum. '"Culturally Dead' is a fierce, hip and happening groove on how the social psyche of the '90s is itself basically un-hip and not really happening," said trombonist Rabino­ witz. By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer Appfcttiv, Photo by Denn O'Htgoi BLUE TRAIN ON THE RAILS OF THE AMERICAN POP CHARTS: This band from Britain consists of (from left to right) drummer Paul Belts, lead singer Tony Osborne, guitarist Alan Feam and keyboardist Simon Husbands. Call him the guy who got arrested for walking in somebody else's sleep. Call him Steven Wright. Steven Wright, hailed as the funniest man in America, will appear in Farthing Auditorium tonight. The last time Wright came to Boone, in theFallof 1988,astaggering 1,200 people came out to witness his deadpan antics. Wright's deceiving monotone delivery and sparkling wit have entertained millions of people since his f rst appear­ ance on the Johnny Carson show in 1982. Since the night of his big break in 1982, he's been on HBO's "On Location:" and the "Young Come­ dians' Special," "Saturday Night Live" and "Late Night with David Letterman." He's toured the college and night club circuit, performing as many as 90 one-nighters in a row. He's acted in three movies. He earned a Grammy nomination with his album, "I Have a Pony." Wright's one-liners always bring the house down: "I bought some powdered water butdidn' t know what to add," and "I bought batteries, but they weren't in­ cluded." Wright said "the wholeact is just a funny pack of lies." Perhaps Wright'sgreatest achievement is his ability to defy the laws of comic gravity. His words seem to fall like lead weights. Yet, audience laughter flies every time he opens his mouth. It's also very interesting to note what Steven Wrightdoesn't use to get his laughs. He never uses profanity. Wright realizes that at times the audience would laugh twice as hard if he used profanity, but he would rather have his comedy standon its own. Why doesn't he use profanity? He doesn't need to. Likewise, he con­ siders some topics, like sex and drugs, too easy. Clean comedy is a rare thing these days. Wright has proven that a comedian can notonly survive, but flourish, and rely on nothing elsebut wit. "I went toa place to eat. It said Breakfast Anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renais­ sance. When I first moved into my house there was a switch on the wall that didn't control any lights or anything. I'd just flick it up and down everyonce in a while. And about a month later I got a letter from a woman in German saying, " 'Cut it out!'

Formed in 1966, the Ulster Orchestra has toured successfully throughout Great Britain and Europe. The Orchestra has numerous highly acclaimed recordings available worldwide. In addition to its regular concert perfor­ mances throughout Northern Ireland, where it plays a leading role in the per­ forming arts, the orchestra broadcasts ex­ tensively for the BBC, both on radio and television. The Orchestra accompanies Opera Northern Ireland, performs in the Belfast Festival at Queen's and the Belfast Promenade Concerts and provides a se­ ries of educational concerts for schools. Nearly 30 recordings have been pro­ duced, encompassing a broad repertoire that includes music by British composers Bax, Elgar. Stanford, Britten, Moeran, Delius, Bridge and Bliss as well as the Ulster-bom Hamilton Harty. With Yan Pascal Tortelier, principal conductor and artistic director, the Ulster Orchestra has moved into a new era, con­ centrating on the French repertoire re­ cently in both the recording studio and on the concert stage to great critical acclaim. ChristopherO'Riley,piano soloist with the Orchestra, has been a top prizewinner in several of the world's most prestigious competitions.

Three of the members of Warpipes have played with Elton John in the studio and on the road. Renowned guitarist Davey Johnstone is the founding member of Warpipes. The band's debut album,"Holes InThe Heavens," delivers a mix of blues-based classic rock. Johnstone put Warpipes together after the 198^-1990 world tour with EltonJohn. Along with Johnstone, drummer Nigel OJsson and keyboardist Guy Babylon also -.orked with Elton John. Johnstone and Babylon wrote all of the music for "Holes In The Heavens." track, "Holes In The Heavens," which deals with man's mischief and life and death. This album lacks many things to be considered a good classic rock album.The music is very poppy sounding. So, if you are a fan of classic rock, your dollars will be better spent somewhere else. The al­ bum features some great musicians which makes it quite a disappointing effort. ANTENNA "SWAY" "Sway" is the debut release from An­ tenna. Antenna is from Bloomington, Ind., and consists of guitarists John Strohm and Vess Ruhtenberg, drummer Freda Love and bassist Jacob Smith. Strohm and Love played together in Blake Babies, which has not broken up and will work in the future. Ruhtenberg once played in Datura Seeds. All are dedi­ cating their total efforts to Antenna pres­ ently, and a tour is in the works. "Sway" features a pop, college type sound. The 13 tracks all are quite catchy tunes. The music is simple and to the point. There are times when this form can grow a bit monotonous. With 13 tracks on an album, simplicity can get old. If you are in to conventional pop with a college music texture to it, this album is for you. The album doeshave good lyrical content throughout. The lyrics are sincere which mixes well with the simplicity of the music. Session musician Bob Birch plays bass as well as saxophone on the album. Lead vocalist Billy Trudel was picked up by Johnstone for the album. Trudel has laid vocals down for such artists as Jude Cole, Kenny Loggins and Trixter. "Holes In The Heavens" features 10 tracks of classic rock. The album as a whole has the classic rock feel to it, yet there are hints of pop rock and folk tunes also. The two songs that rely on the elec­ tric guitar, "Rock 'n' Roll Condition" and "Satellite City,"have very pop rock sounds to them. "Son of A Loaded Gun" and 'Tear Jerker" are acoustic tunes with a definite folk feel to them. "Back A' MaBuick" deals with exactly what it sounds like.

Members of the band cite influences from Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen, Stewart Copeland and Squeeze. With influences that span such a broad arena of music, the outcome of the album could be quite interesting. Blue Train's music revolves aroundsynthesized drums and a variety of keyboard effects. "The Business of Dreams"features nine tracks, two of which are ballads. The first single off the album is "All I Need Is You." The song entered the charts at one time but never made a name for itself. If you are a fan of groups like New Order or Squeeze, you may want to check this album out.

Despite not starting the season as dominating as most preseason observers thought the two loams would, there has been a striking similarity between the two teams' fortunes ihis year. First of all both squads began the season losing 10 of their first 14 games. This early season skid was as disappointing as it was unexpected for both the men and women. The men's team took its early season losses especially hard. Picked to finish anywhere from number one to number three indifferent preseason polls, the Mountaineers entered the season with a realistic hope of having the best season ever for an ASU learn. Such hopes are often hard to live up to. As for the Lady Apps, a third straight trip to iheNCAA tournament and another Southern Conference championship seemed not only realistic but almost easily attainable before the season started. One of the reasons for the sluggish start for the two teams was also similar. A series of Hugh, nonconference road games filled each squad's schedule. The women played 10 of Iheir first 14 games on the road, while the men played nine of their first 14 contests away from Varsity Gym. At one point, the men went 41 days between home games. Winning on the road is the most difficult task in sports, and winning a series of consecutive road games, with no chance to go home and regroup is almost impossible. Both squads also share a likeness in that the return of a talented player from knee injury is vital to their success. For the women this player is Shannon Thomas, a splendid forward who missed much of last season after undergoing •rthroscopic surgery. For the men, Rodney Peel was expected to tome back after missing all but one minute of last season after being forced to undergo reconstructive knee surgery. Both Thomas and Peel were expected to be able to come back from serious injuries and be in game condition from day one. For both Thomas and Peel, it has Proven to be a much longer process. Finally, and most importantly, both teams kavc started to come together and peak in the last two weeks. Both teams seem to have shaken off the effects of a difficult start. The women are currently in second place in ^conference, while the men are in third after Picking up consecutive road wins at Marshall The Appalachian State Mountaineers picked up their fourth consecutive Southern Conference vic­ tory Monday with a come-from-behind 80-67 vic­ tory at Virginia Military. The Mountaineers, who dropped their first two league tilts, improved to 4-2 in the conference and 8-10 overall with the victory. "It was a great win for us," ASU assistant coach Ralph Patterson said. "It gave us our second consecutive road win, and it makes the East Ten­ nessee State game Saturday have even more mean­ ing." Trailing 46-37 with justover a minute gone by in the second half, Appalachian grabbed control of the game with a furious 18-5 spurt. When sopho­ more guard Tony Thompson drilled a three-pointer at the 11:53 mark, ASU led 55-51. After a Jonathan Goodman layup brought VMI back to within two points, the Apps reeled off seven unanswered points to vault to a 62-53 lead with nine minuies to play. The Keydets, who shot only 29 percent from the floor in the second half, could get no closer than eight points after that. The Mountaineers' lead ballooned to as many as 17 points late in the game before VMI was able to cut it down to the final 80-67 margin. Thompson paced five Mountaineer double-fig­ ure scorers with 18 points, including a dozen in the second half. In addition, Thompson canned four of five three-point attempts on the night. As a team, the Mountaineers drained nine out of 17 threepoint tries. 'Tony Thompson played like we knew he was capable of playing all along," Patterson said. "We thought he could be an impact player, and now he is. He's playing as well as any perimeter player in the league." By SHANNON MCGINNIS Appalachian Staff Writer Tim Powers and Billy Ross also reached the double-figure plateau for the Mountaineers, with 12 points apiece. Rodney Peel tallied 11 points, all in the first half, and senior forward Steve Spurlock chipped in 10 points for the Apps. Sophomore forward Ricky Nedd hauled down . 12 rebounds for Appalachian, which claimed a decisive 41-28 rebounding edge. Keydet forward Jonathan Penn topped all scor­ ers with 29 points on the evening. Charlie Petzold was the only other double-digit scorer for VMI. Petzold scored 10 points and snagged a game-high 13 boards for the Keydets, who fell to 6-9 overall and 2-3 in the SC. Virginia Military got out of the gates quickly in the contest. After a jumper by Peel gave the Apps a quick 2-0 lead, the Keydets ran off 10 straight points. Penn scored seven points during the stretch. The Mountaineers went on an 8-0 run of their own to cut the deficit to 12-10 at the 14:15 mark. The Keydets, who shot 53 percent in the first half, then exploded on a 13-2 binge over the next three minutes. When Penn sank his second threepointer of the half, VMI led 25-12. The Virginia Military lead grew to 14points,3218, with 8:24 to play, and the Keydets still held an 11-point adavntage at the 3:36 mark, before the Mountaineers clawed back into the contest. Appalachian was able to slice the lead in half before halftime. A layup by Spurlock and Peel's third three-point shot of the half cut the deficit to 38-33. The teams then exchanged baskets, and VMI went into the locker room with a 40-35 advantage. "It wasn't exactly the way we had hoped to start out," Patterson proclaimed. "But we thought when we started to play hard the game was ours." Appalachian has another stiff road test litis Sat­ urday at EastTennessee State, before playing six of their last eight games at home. The Appalachian State wrestling team defeated Gardner-Webb on Tuesday, Jan.28 by a final score of 35-7. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance was pleased with the team's victory but believes the team could have had an even greater victory. "We certainly could have done a better job than we did," commented Mance. "There were too many close matches." "I just don't think the kids were as intense as in the past because they were not in jeopardy,"Mance continued. "They wrestled to win instead of wres­ tling to win big." Appalachian won all matches with the excep­ tion of two. Five key wrestlers sat out during the match because Mance believed that Appalachian would still have a good chance of winning. "There are times when you have to reward the kids who are working hard in practice," Mance said. 'This happened to be an opportunity to allow these kids to wrestle." Appalachian is having a very successful season. The team is 12-2 but could have possibly been 14- 0, according to Mance.Their only two losses were to Clemson and N. C. State who are ranked in the top 25 in the nation. "We've had some problems with some serious injuries that could have really hurt us, but the team as a whole has done a good job," commented Mance. Sophomore Kyle Kuykendall agreed. "We've had a pretty good year this year, and we have a lot of good talent on the team," Kuykendall said, "We should be in a pretty good running this year for the conference." The conference tournament will be held March 8. Mance believes that how well the team performs atTennessee-Chatanoogaon Feb. 2 will determine their performance in the conference. According to Mance, Appalachian vs. UTC will be the "toughest dual meet in the conference." Appalachian has been either first or second in the conference meet for much of the last decade. UTC is Appalachian's biggest competition. Senior Bill Baker commented, "This weekend is going to be a nasty match. The fans get really involved into the match and you (the team) really have to concentrate on what you're doing on the mat."

The Lady Mountaineers dropped an 83-71 decision to College of Charleston Monday in Varsity Gym. Appalachian State is now 6-11 heading into the season's final stages. The Appalachian State women's basketball team suffered a rare non-conference home-loss Mon­ day, 83-71, to College of Charleston. The loss dropped the Lady Mountaineers to 6-11 on the season and snapped a two-game ASU win­ ning streak. The Lady Mountaineers shot only 42 percent from the field in the contest. Appalachian con­ nected on only 29 of 69 shots in the game. College of Charleston was led by Natalie Seel, who scored a game-high 24 points. Seel hit eight of her 15 field goal attempts, including four of seven from three-point range. Seel also grabbed a teamhigh 10 rebounds. Allene Fleming and Maria Williams also had strong scoring performancesfor College of Charles­ ton. Fleming poured in 19 points and grabbed nine boards, while Williams had 18 points. Tara Currin scored 11 points. But perhaps the biggest force in the game for College of Charleston was center Denise Hogue. Hogue scored just two points and grabbed only three rebounds, but blockeda career-high 11 Appa­ lachian shots before fouling out of the contest. Sophomore Penny Roberson led the Appala­ chian State charge with a team-high 23 points. Roberson canned eightof her 15 field goal attempts on the evening, including the Lady Mountaineers' only three-point goal of the night. Senior forward Shannon Thomas was the only other Lady App performer to score in double fig­ ures. Thomas drilled home 17 points, but hit just seven of 20 shots from the floor. Thomas also led the Lady Mountaineers with 11 rebounds. Regina Ikard scored six points and hauled down nine rebounds for Appalachian, while Shery1 Lynch had six points, eight rebounds and five assists. Lynch also committed six of the team's 18 turn­ overs. The Lady Mountaineers led for much of the early part of the second half and held a 47-44 lead with just under 15 minutes to go in the game. College of Charleston then took the lead for good with a 13-4 spurt. When Seel drained a threepointer at the 11:05 mark. College of Charleston took a 57-51 advantage. Appalachian battled back to within two points, 61-59, with just under eight minutes to play, but a quick five-point spurt extended the lead to seven, 66-59, at the six minute mark. The lead hovered between seven and 11 points for much of the remainder of the game,but College of Charleston took an 83-69 lead with 21 seconds remaining. Mitzi Story's basket with seven sec­ onds left cut the final margin to 83-71. College of Charleston led for most of the first half, building up a seven-point cushion at one point. The Mountaineers were able to come back, how­ ever, and took a 29-28 lead on a Jeanne CokeT 19foot jumper. The lead switched hands several times before the end of the first half, but the Lady Mountaineers grabbed a 35-33 lead at the break on a chip-shot basket by Lynch.

I have learned more in the past two and a half years than in any of the other 17 and a half years of my life. I chose ASU because I heard it had the best teacher education program in the Southeast, and that has been proven to me since I've been here. I have never had a bad professor; I have learned something from every class I have taken here and in many classes I have learned a lot I have no criticisms at all for ASU or any particular program, but I do have some questions about college educational programs in general. The first is about read­ ing. Remember in highschool, when we used to complain about having to read 20 pages per night for one or two classes? Could we have even fathomed reading all that we read now? Would we have questioned the need for all that reading? College courses only span three and a half months. During that three and a half months, at least a year's worth of material has to be covered. In some departments, for example, the history department, the amount of material gets larger every year. The reason it gets larger in the history department is because every year, another year is added onto history. Literature courses are another ex­ ample of a lot of material having to be covered in a period of time in which it is impossible to do justice to what is being taught. The logical response seems to be to assign as much outside reading as is needed to even come close to covering all the material. The question, however, does arise as to how much reading a person's short-term memory can handle at once. A typical short-term memory only has seven or eight "slots." Each individual"slot" only holds a certainamount of information. During the learning process, a person takes information into his or her short-term memory, then later on, the information isstored in the long-term memory, basically forever or at least as long as it needs to be stored. Material stored in the long-term memory is material actually learned. Material taken into the short-term memory which isn't stored in the long-term memory is retained for a period of time, then forgotten. The question raised here is, even if a person is doing all 100 pages of reading that he or she is expected to do a night, how much is he or she actually retaining? Certainly not all 100 pages. Of course the purpose of reading is not to memorize everything on every page, but to get a sort of overall picture of what the professor is trying to teach in a particular lesson. But is it necessary to read 100 pages in one sitting in order to get an overall picture? Also, why does it seem that the most boring classes require the most reading? Depending on your major, you probably do more reading your freshman year than any year afterwards, because general college courses require more reading than many of the higher-level courses in most departments (emphasis on most). Not saying that all general college classes are boring, but they are the ones that everyone has to take whether they want to or not. Some classmates and I were told my freshman year that if we could not read at least 50 pages an hour, we should immediately leant to read more quickly if we wanted to survive college. I admit that I still don't read 50 pages an hour. I lose a lot of sleep that I wouldn't need to lose if I were a faster reader. But I'm lucky because most of the reading I do is interesting. Another questionable factor in educational policies is the purpose of final exams, particularly comprehensive ones. The purpose of final exams is supposedly to make sure that students have learned all the material they were supposed to learn over the semester. Of course, some type of evaluation is needed for this purpose. However, since the purpose is to make sure that students have learned all the material they are supposed to learn, it makes sense not to make a student who has an A in the course take the final. Many professors at ASU make thisconcession for their Astudents. Also, if we are going to have finals, they should not contain picky, detailed, What-did-George-Washingtoneat-for-breakfast-on-May 10, 1776-type questions. This type of exam does not test whether or not students have learned the material for the course, but rather, it tests how well they can cram the night before the test. The purpose of going to college should be to learn. If reading 100 pages a night is the way to learn as much as we can, then by all means we should be reading 100 pages a night. But if the material we read is going through one slot in the short-term memory and out another, then it's time to re-examine the purpose of reading so much. Same with exams—exams should test the material that should have been learned within a certain period of time, not how well a student can study, memorize, regurgitate material on a test and then forget about it the next day. Forgetting the next day is not learning, and if we aren't learning, our efforts to get an education are all but wasted. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson.

In order to solve this very real danger. 44 99 my proposal also will make it mandatory for all children to consume alcohol on a regular basis. Between the ages of 12 and 13, a child must consume alcohol at least four times a week. After that, as long as consumption is at least once a month it will suffice. Parents should make their kids get extremely intoxicated (with vom­ iting) at least once every six weeks, so they will leam early the painful effects of irresponsible drinking. It may alsobe considered later, although it is not included in this proposal, for parents to get their children intoxicated, then persuade them to give away all of the money they have in their wallets or purses. This will teach children theextent to which alcohol impairs keen judgment and sane reasoning. Once these proposals have been put into action, it will not take more than a few short years for the epidemic of alcoholics and drunkendrivers tosubsist The quicker we get this plan into action, the better. Please, join in the fight to bring this com­ mon sense forward into law. We have no time to lose. Family appreciates ASU's show of love THE FAR SIDE By GARY LARSON Family thanks ASU for its kindness To the Editor: "I'm starting to feel dependent. We want the student body, faculty, and staff at ASU to know how very much your expressions of love and friendship have meant not just to us but to all our families and friends during this very sad time. We have read every name in the Memorial Book, every card and note written and all the flowers are receiving loving care. I wish we could reach out to each of you individually and tell you what a warm feeling you have given us. I wish I could have visited with each of you that were here and let you know how deeply touched we were that so many of Greg's friends came to share our grief. Your love liter­ ally carried us through. We have suffered the greatest loss a family can endure and the pain has been tremendous. Greg was a very warm and caring individual and he knew how much he was loved by his friends and family. He loved ASU, he loved Boone and he loved all of you. He mentioned several times beginning with his freshman year that he would like to live and work in Watauga County. He led us to believe he was work­ ing toward these goals and getting on with his life. The last five years Greg had trouble dealing with the sudden death of a very close friend. We do not have any answers as to why this happened. We can only trust that God's will has been done, and Greg's grief and pain have been put to rest, and he is at peace. I have found comfort in this scripture from the Book of Matthew— "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."—Matthew 13:44 Your friendship is one of the treasures the Lord has given us. A phone call, a note or a visit from any of you in the years to come would be like a hug from Greg. You all are wonderful people, and we are so proud that you were Greg's friends. May God bless and guide each of you through your life. true nature. David Duke, the unashamed Republican, does not dance around the issues like George Bush, the closet Republican. Zeke, Sue and Karen Carter 1041 Timberwood Ct. Matthews, N.C. 28105 When confronted with environmental problems, David Duke will not force a concerned look and exclaim, "We need! further study on this issue." No, David ' Duke is an honest man; he will tell you straight out that he could not possibly care less about the environment. When confronted with civil rights legislation, David Duke would not offer some meek and vague rhetoric about "quotas." No, David Duke is an honest man; he would tell everyone how America cares for Kuwaitis about as much as it cares for the students in China, or the people of Yugoslavia; Because of David Duke's newfound Christianity, he would be implored to tell the truth. He would tell American- that they were killing and ' being killed for oil. And so my question is this: if Republicans are so confident that a Democrat cannot win the White House in 1992, then for heaven's sake why don't they run a real Republican like David Duke, instead of a closet Republican like George Bush? i David Duke: the honest Republican To the Editor. I fail to see what all the fuss about David Duke is about. He is only a Republican, spouting the same rhetoric Republicans have been espousing for the past 20 years. The passionate speeches about how government is stifling our economy, the strange concept of reverse discrimination, exploiting race to get votes, appealing to the fears of the electorate, condemn­ ing the liberals, all of this is business as usual for the Grand Old Party. Why then do they have such a problem with the man? He should be applauded; for he is something rare in modern politics, an honest Republican.

Seniors should begin looking for jobs and interviewing for jobs in the fallof their senior years. Ball said. "Those people who are persistent in their job searches will be successful," Ball said. "I'm not sure I'd recommend someone going to graduate school just to avoid a weak economy. I think the reason to go to graduate school is to further develop inter­ ests or skills," Ball said. j*hian Staff Writer According to Ball, employers are look­ ing for certain characteristics and skills, such as leadership, communication and interpersonal skills and grades. Such at­ tributes aredeveloped through co-cutricu­ lar activities. Ball said. "Experience is one of the single most important criterion employers look for, and it'sgained through internships or other learning experiences," Ball said. The best way which students can pre­ pare themselves for the job market and for their future careers is through participa­ tion in internships, Ball said. "Those students who have had intern­ ships will have a leg up on thejobmarket," Ball said. ASU offers help in various ways to seniors who wish to begin looking forjobs and preparing for interviews. ASU's Ca­ reer Development Center offers career counseling, student employment for parttime and summer work, graduate school information, career fairs and job search skills seminars and workshops. The Career Development Center also offers placement services, which provide students with on-campus interviews with prospective employersand listingsof avail­ able jobs, and a career library, that has job market upxlates and information on vari­ ous careers.

Due to the success of the expansion of the uses for identification card, a new laundry service is being tested in Winkler Residence Hall using Appalachian ex­ piress accounts. The money that is being made from the vending machine sales will allow food services to cut pirices in other areas, Dubberly said. "Drastic changes in serving hours and positions held in food services have oc­ curred due to the increase in use of the vending machines," Dubberly said. These changes have had to offset the huge increase of the popularity of the vending machines. One problem that has occurred in the use of the vending machines has been their abuse by students, who use lighters across thepjart that takes the card, Dubberly said. The heat from the lighter causes the machine to react, and allows violators to steal concessions, Dubberly said. Some offenders have been caught and they will be tried by the student judiciary.

ASU seniors decide on library fund for class gift By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's senior committee has decided that the class of 1992's gift to the university will be a library fund, after allowing the seniors to vote on their choice of the gift Students seem to be happy with this year's decision of the library fund, said ^din S ^>er'0<Lca's' Tracy Ford, the seniorcommittee advisor. Last year's gazebo and garden area gift, which has not been built yet, faced some controversy, according to Ford. "It was the voted choice of the class, so that was the gift given," said Ford. "Many students felt the gift should have been given to the library last year, and were disappointed by the gazebo." The money for this year's fund will go toward purchasing books, periodicals and other reading and electronic supplies Belk Library needs. The specific materials will be ordered according to need by Belk Library, where no one was available for comment. The senior committee was formed in 1990 when many administrators began to see the need for a bonding force within the senior class as the number of students at Appalachian grew. Ford said.

These computers have to process infor­ mation from the ID at Trivette and then the information comes back to the snack machine allowing the user to make a se­ lection. There are 94 machines that can be tam­ pered with. Of that, 60 machines have been fixed to ensure this does not reoccur and the other 34 machines will accepX cash only until they are fixed. Vending machines that contain snack food, juice, cold food and coffee ma­ chines are owned by Appalachian State University. However,soft drink machines are either owned by Pepsi or Coca Cola.' All together there are 146 vending ma­ chines on campus that accept the meal card. Of this number, there are 41 snack machines, 76 Coke and Pepsi machines, 16 juice machines and one coffee ma­ chine. More juice machines andcold food machines will probably be available on campus next semester, according to Dubberly. Another use for the ID is laundry ser­ vices. If the trial pieriod goes well, then more laundry machines will accept the ID card in the future. The only way for stu­ dents to use this service is by having an expjress account along with their meal plan. Dubberly said this may prevent the current abuse of washing machines and dryers. If successful, these machines will be a new addition to all the residence halls on campus. • Rap promoter Sean Combs, known as Puff Daddy, advertised the event as a fund-raiser for AIDS without actually lin­ ing up a charity beforehand and left the task of promotion to two pieople with no experience. • The Evening Student Government refused to cooperate withcollege officials in planning the celebrity basketball game. • Emergency Medical Service workers and piolice dispatchers need to communi­ cate more effectively.

Graduation Continued from page 1 courses and take them in sequence," McLeod said. Although students at ASU have always graduated in December, the commence­ ment ceremony in December 1991 was only the second year aceremony was held for December graduates. According to McLeod, a demand from seniors and from the Student Gov­ ernment Association prompted a gradua­ tion ceremony for December graduates. 'There are enough people graduating at that time to justify a commencement ceremony," McLeod said. December graduatesused to be invited to thegraduation ceremonies held inM ay, but that was ineffective because it was inconvenient for the graduates to return, McLeod said. *259 FN,0' Alton S.

One of the advantages of being a student at Appalachian State University is the opportunity to ski at any one of the nearby resorts. Most of these resorts opened their slopes around Thanksgiving. Some offer group rates, student rates and package deals. There is even a skiing class available through the university. One of the three closest resorts to the campus is Ski Beech Mountain. This resort has 13 slopes, eight lifts and one quad lift. Their rates differ from weekday to weekend, and also on holidays. A regular lift ticket for a day of skiing during the week at Ski Beech Mountain is $25. On the week­ end, the price changes to $33. Rentals range from $12 during the week, to $15 on the weekend. Lessons are available here at arate of $13 for a group and $30 for a private lesson. Ski Beech Mountain offers a great package deal that includes a lift ticket, rentals and a lesson for $30 during the week, $40 on Sunday and $45 on Satur­ day for a group of 15 or more people. A special student's rate of $10 is offered every Sunday and Monday night. Another nearby ski resort is the Sugar Mountain Resort. There are 18 slopes and eight lift*. There are weekday and weekend rates, and even half day rates. A full-weekday, lift ticket is $25, and a halfweekday is $18. There are also lessons available at Sugar Moun­ tain forbeginners that spend more time falling than skiing. A group lesson is $11, and a private lesson is $25. Saturday and holiday prices will vary. Steve Atherton, anemployee atSugar Mountain Resort and a former ASU student, pointed out that Sugar Mountain has "the longest run in North Carolina or Virginia, and that's a mile and a half. It also has the longest vertical drop." Atherton claims that Sugar Mountain Resort has a lot to offer. Appalachian Ski Mountain offers skiing not far from ASU. This resort has eight slopes and several special student rates. A deal called the "Student Season Membership," enables students to ski any­ time during the season for only $225. This mem­ bership also includes a parking pass. Appalachian Ski Mountain also offers group lessons for $11 with the French Swiss Ski College. The availability of local ski slopes also allows ASU to offer a one hour P.E. credit to students through a skiing class. The class, offered spring semester, is open to all students. SKI WHILE THE SNOW IS HERE: Ski resorts may have been disappointed with theunusually warm weather before Christmas, but the recent snow has brought business from all over the United States. Boone hotline tutors local elementary school students By PAUL D.STOKES Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University now helps stu­ dents in Watauga's elementary school system through the installation of a homework hotline. The hotline is designed to help elementary stu­ dents, grades three through eight, with their home­ work. It is operated by volunteers that are a part of the Appalachian State University chapter of the North Carolina Association of Educators. The hotline is able to assist the students in any subject taught in those grades. The donation of text books by the Watauga County school system made this possible. "Having the textright there is a tremendous help for the volunteers. Without it the hotline would be almost impossible to pull off," said Brian Kirby, a senior at Appalachian. Kirby, founder and president of the hotline, is a North Carolina Teaching Fellow recipient. This is a reason for his dedication to the success of this project. With an average of about 12 calls a night, four nightsa week, he and the rest of the volunteers believe the hotline is going well. The project began in March 1991. "Dr. Strickland (dean of the College of Educa­ tion) has been real supportive of our project," said Kirby. "He found a vacant office for us to use and the student (NCAE) chapter pays the phone bill." "The hotline was first attempted in about six or seven elementary schools," said Dr. Marjorie Farris, the advisor to the NCAE chapter of ASU. The students worked hours from 7 to 9 pjn. Monday through Friday and kept records of everything that was done. The testing of the program lasted until the ending of the 1991 spring semester. At the beginning of the 1991-92 school year, the Watauga elementary system decided to keep the program. One of the reasons for the success of the program is that the hotline is not a way to get quick answers for homework. "We don't want to be known as an answer bank," said Kirby. "Volunteers are discouraged from giving out answers. This is supposed to be a tutoring process to help students discover the an­ swers themselves." So far the project has been implemented well, and the Watauga County teachers have had no complaints. The members of the NCAE are also reaping the rewards. "It gives the education majors who are in NCAE a chance to work with students one on one and gives them a feel for what it will be like to be involved in tutoring," said Kirby. "It's a great education for the people here." This program also works to benefit the relations held between the community and ASU by allowing ASU to.give to the community. Many people have high hopes for this program and think the hotline will be around for many years to come. GIC offers group resource Outdoor Programs opens high ropes course in March By CANDA F. SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor ONE OF THE CHALLENGES OF THE GIC: Student Rhonda McLamb of Gastonia is one of the hundreds of ASU students and faculty that have taken advantage of the Group Interaction course, an Outdoor Programs resource. This course has been successful in its effort to help unify groupson campus. The Group Interaction Course is an activity that allows the participants to rely solely on communi­ cation, faith and trust within the group. Outdoor Programs sponsors the GIC that takes place behind Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. Over 600 Freshmen Seminar students have uti­ lized the GIC facilities this semester. Faculty groups, ACT and some Greek organizations, for example, have experienced the group building exercise. Lisa Murry, the Coordinatorof the GIC, encour­ ages groups to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to improve or establish communica­ tion and to practice teamwork. "We are fortunate to have the facility available on campus. But the surroundings are removed from campus so there are no distractions," said Murry. Murry also commented that the challenge of the course may depend on the relationship of the group. Parts of the course may not be suited for a newly acquainted group, however, other obstacles may not be challenging enough for a group of people that knows each other well. Some of the obstacles require a loss of sight, therefore, forcing the participants to depend on the nearest person. Other obstacles may require com­ plete silence or having to use one leg or one arm. The ideas for the different challenges come from resource books and Outward Bound courses, said Joe Quinn, the director of Outdoor Programs, who worked with Outward Bound for 12 years. Quinn added that they are trying to expand on the GIC and wanting to try new events. A high ropes course is the next endeavor for Outdoor Programs. Other activities offered atOutdoor programsare rafting, mountain biking, funyaking (inflatable Kayak-type boats), caving, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding and hiking. Each of these trips includes a certain fee. Slots fill up quickly so it is best to gain and sign up as early as possible. There is a rental program for canoes, mountain bikes, tents, backpacks and sleeping bags. These are available torent Monday through Friday 9 ajn. to 5 p.m. Students will be charged if theequipment is damaged. Outdoor Programs is concerned with helping students learn and take advantage of the surround­ ings, while protecting the environment. The activi­ ties offer recreation, leadership opportunities and challenging outdoor situations. They also can plan an outing for any on-campus group. These trips can be used to achieve the same goals of team-building as for GIC. All the GIC instructors are students trained at Outdoor Programs. If interested in getting a group to tackle the GIC, call Outdoor Programs at 2622475. "The GIC presents challenges in communica­ tion and teamwork," Murry said. "It builds trust, community and risk taking. Every obstacle is pre­ sented as a group challenge." Appalread helps ASU employees to further education ji Staff members can attend classes which allow them to set their own goals and use acquired skills By SHERRY LEW ALLEN Appalachian Staff Writer Today, all across the United States, literacy programs are offered for adults who need enrich­ ment in reading and writing skills. Appalachian State University responded by introducing an Appalread program to staff members. A recent survey showed that 100 out of Appalachian's 900 staff members did not have high school educations. Currently, 45 employees are enrolled in basic skills and GED courses of­ fered at four campus locations. "With an emphasis on literacy programs nationwide, we felt this was a perfect opportunity to emphasize this type of program for our employ­ ees," said Susie Beasley of Appalachian's person­ nel office. "Wherever you are in your education, you can come into Appalread mid further your education." In the past, Appalachian has offered similar employee education programs withCaldwell Com­ munity College and through tuition-free college classes, the classes are conveniently on campus. Employees are given release time to attend classes, which meet two hours a day twice a week. Classes are flexible to focus on the needs of the staff. Supervisors are encouraged to support the employees who wish to take advantage of Appalread. Instructors axe Dr. Cheryl Knight and Carolyn Smith from Appalachian, and Ann Kecter from Caldwell Community College. Students and employees serve as volunteer tutors for the pro­ gram. The Appalread program began this fall and already shows favorable results. "The employees feel good about themselves and are happy about what they are doing," Beasley said. The program allows staff members to set their own goals and use their acquired skills in whatever way they choose. Someemployees take advantage of Appalread for the sole purpose of learning how to read. Others may want to learn to balance their own checkbook, or just feel better about them­ selves by knowing they have received their GED. Improved skills also increase chances of promotions for ASU employees. At the end of December, Caldwell Communil College will evaluate the progress of the studerr in this program. The results from this evaluatio will reveal how many students will be receiviri their GEDs and how effective these classes ha\ been in advancing reading and mathematical ^)cill "It has already made a difference," Beasley sail Refined education opens many doors for tho> who have low paying jobs, so they may have t opportunity to earn more money in higher payir jobs.

Ross made just two of 11 shots from the floor while Spurlock, suffering from the flu, was just one-of-flve, but made nine free throws to finish with 11 points. The biggest key to ASU's survival was free throw shooting. Entering the game, the Mountaineers were shooting 67 per­ cent fromthe line. Saturdaynight Appala chian made 17 of 19 free throw attempts, including two by Tony Thompson with one second left that sealed the victory. With 12 seconds to play, ASU led by five points at 73-68. Marshall's Shawn Brailsford scored and was fouled to cut die lead to 73-70. Brailsford missed die free throw but Luke Gross tipped it in for die Herd to trim the lead to 73-72 with 11 seconds to play. After Appalachian got the ball inbounds to Thompson, Marshall was unable to foul until one second re­ mained. The Apps led 35-29 at halftime and eventually extended theirlead to 10 points at62-52 when Tim Powersscored a three point play with 8:11 left in the contest. Appalachian took the lead for good with 3:26 left in the first half when Rodney Peel hit a three-pointer to make the score 29-27. Peel made six three-pointers on the night, tying a school record, en route to scoring 20 points. ASU takes two of three Powers also scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds, while Thompson scored 11 and Jeff Williams pitched in eight, six of which came in an 11-2 ASU run that erased an early 13-7 Marshall lead. Ricky Nedd, who entered the game averaging nine points per game scored just one point but grabbed a team-high eight rebounds. Marshall, forced to play without the services ofTony Phillips, the team's lead­ ing-scorer and -rebounder, was led by Gross, whoscored a career-high 18 points. "We had a chance to win a game at the end,"a disappointed Dwight Freeman said. "We're getting better, and these guys «e real competitors. Idon't think they'll ever accept losing." "It feels a lot better after winning three in a row than it did a couple of times this season when we lost three in a row," Apke said. "But what that means as far as mo­ mentum and those things go, 1 don't know."

Morrison nearly elqualifying for the six person final, bag seventh in the semi-final race. This mark bests her record breaking per­ formance set last week of 8.07. Although none of the Lady Mountain­ eers were able to qualify far the finals, several recorded season's best marks and Southern Conference leading marks. Senior Lynette Gardin ran 58.76 in the 400m for a personal indoor best and set a conference leading mark. The mile relay team (Monica Teeter, Tonie Lazenby, Sabrina Hill and Gardin) clocked 4:06.1 to set a conference leading mark. The two mile relay squad set a conference mark of 9:50.4 with Julie Anderson, Jessica Parkhan, Lone Pedersen and Dee Anna Davis. ASU Head Coach John Weaver was pleased with the overall performance of the Lady Mountaineers. "This is a very high quality meet," Weaver said. "We had a couple of our ladies come close to qualifying for the finals. At this stage of the season, we feel good about the development of the indi­ vidual athletes and the direction the team is taking in becoming stronger for the Southern Conference Championship." The Lady Mountaineers also received good results from Donna Propst who clocked 7.67 in the 55m and 2838 in die 200m, Teeter and Beth Burleson in the 55m hurdles turning in respective times of 8.56 and 8.93 and Lazenby in the 400m with a time of 61.29.

Dalton also recorded the fourth fastest all-time performance in the 200m with a time of 2233 as well as leading ASU in the 55m at 6.59. "Overall, we improved from last week and in many areas we improved our posi­ tion within the conference," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Other strong performances forthe Apps came from Jamie Griggs, Dust in Alfred, Alan Whicker, Billy Pemberton. Steve Simandle, Eric Roberts and Rob Grant. "Weprobabfy wrestledour worstmalch of theyear," ASU HeadCoach Paul Mance said."It was a bad day all the way around." Mance said injuries to several key Mountaineer grapplers hindered the squad's perfomunce against Clemson, forcing several wrestlers to step up in weight class. "You had betterbe at full strength when you wrestle a Top 25 club like Clemson." Mance explained. "We already had three or four people out going into the match. We didn't wrestle well, and we didn't wrestle with a good altitude because we knew some of our kids were not at full strength. The players or thecoaches didn't have a good attitude going intothe match."

Rawls normally com­ petes in the 118-pound category. Clemson then captured victories in the 134 and 142-poundclasses, before ASU's Adrian Hinesshut out his opponent, 6-0 in the 150-pound division. Heavyweight Melvin Crosby, making his Mountaineer debut, scared a pin in 6:56 against Tiger Robbie Derrick for ASU's final victory of the day. Crosby transferred to ASU from Wilkes Commu­ nity College. "That was the bright spot of the day far us," Mance said of Crosby's performance. "We are definitely stronger in the heavy­ weight division now." Appalachian bouncedback Saturday to defeat William and Mary, 30-10, and Campbell, 31-10.

The win moved ASU's overall record o 6-10, and, more importantly, kept the -ady Apps in second place in the league with a 3-1 mark. The 14-point win also rontinued thehealing process for Robinson md her squad, which started the season410 and looking nowhere near the team that preseason observers picked to win the conference title. "We have played a terrifically hard schedule, and we have played it predomi­ nantly on the road," Robinson said of her team's early season troubles. "We are ecstatic to be back playing at home, and it is nice to have this eight-game home stand." Against the Lady Herd, Shannon Tho­ try f«T»' tfirtTTT- mas and Regma Ik aid did much of the LADY MOUNTAINEERS ON A ROLL: ASU senior forward Shannon Thomas hit . damage that ensured the Lady Appswould eight of nine field goal tries en route to a 20-point performance against Marshall start the home stand off on a good note. The duo combined for 16-of-19 shooting from die floor, 38 points, 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocks. "We have two of the best post players in die conference in Regma Ikard and Shannon Thomas," Robinson said."That might be the best combination of post players in the conference, and that gives us a big edge." As impressive as Thomas and Ikard were, they were only part of what Robinson called a "complete game" for ASU. The Lady Mountaineers shot 53.6 percent from the floor for the ballgame, including a 19for-29 second half performance, and outrebounded Marshall 38-26. "I was really proud of our team be­ cause I thought we could have pulled away from them early in the game, but we couldn't gel the easy shots to fall," Robinson said. "After what we've been through this season, some teams might have quit, but we didn't. We kept playing hard defense, and our shots started to fall in the second half. Our goal was to play a complete game, and I think we did that." The win keeps Appalachian just half a gone behind conference leader Tennes­ see-Chattanooga. The Lady Apps dropped a contest in Chattanooga last week, but the Lady Apps will make a return visit to Boone on Feb. 8 in what is quickly shap­ ing up to be a game that will go far in deciding the regular season champion­ ship. The win also continues ASU's resurgance from a struggling, 4-10 team, into a contender for the league title and a third straight appearance in the NCAA tournament. "We just really get together at the end of the yearand seem to really jell asa team late in the season," Robinson said. "We like to begame-ready in February, whereas other teams might like to be game-ready die first game of theseason. Our kidshave a lot of confidence that they can put this thing together." Thomas' reappearance as one of the dominant forces in the conference has correlated with ASU's turnaround as a team. Thomas was forced to miss much of last season with a knee injury and spent the off-season in rehabilitation. In all, Thomas has suffered through three knee surgeries in the last year. "We're just pleased that Shannon has been able to come and play, and play as well as she is right now," Robinson said. "She is just now starting to come back around and gain confidence, and she is also learning to play with the pain."

TUESDAY, January 28, 1992 NOELLE WILCOX Ad Production Manager Legal drinking age of 21 necessary Cancel classes when temperatures threaten student, faculty safety On Thursday, Jan. 16, administrators at Appalachian State endangered the health of each student attending class that day when they chose to hold classes despitea wind chill factor that plunged temperatures to life-threatening digits, Classes should not have been held that day. The lives of students, faculty and staff were endangered. The wind chill caused conditions to be too cold for those asked to attend class or work. No one should have been forced to walk in such conditions. Getting drunk. Supposedly a typical college-student activity. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. In the '70s, before the drinking age was raised to 21 and every college student with a few exceptions wasold enough to drink, there were beer parties on the lawn. We can't do that anymore, at least not without fear of massive arrest. But there are still parties, just not out in the open. People still drink under­ age, and everyone knows about it. Of course some arrests for underage possession of alcohol do occur, but the majority of people who drink underage do not get arrested. Some people say the drinking age should be lowered to 18. It was raised to 21 in 1986 in an effort to decrease the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities among 18-21 year olds. This decrease has been accomplished. How­ ever, there is still some debate about whether the drinking age should have been raised. Plenty of 18.19 and 20-year° 0,ds are matureenough tohandle alcohol responsibly. The drinking age has been raised to keep those who aren't matore from endangering themselves and everyone else, It s 100 bad the drinking age can't be lowered to 12 for Television and radio weather forecasters had warned mountaineers days in ^se advance of the dangerous temperatures expected that morning. The frigid ,, e wh? ^ mature enough a"d raised 10 60 for 1,10X6 " a™ emouonalmatunty test should be givenforanyonewhowantstobeabletodrinklegally.lt group that made the test, and the person would have to score a certain percentage of emotional maturity, to be a certain"emotional age,"to be able to drink. If theperson's "emotional age" is either 18 or 21, no matter what his or her chronological age is, he or she would be able to legally purchase and consume alcoholic beverages. In several European countries, there is no drinking age. The lack of drinking age has had no adverse effects on the population of these countries. The reason is that people don't drink to get drunk there. They come home from school and have a beer, one beer, just as an American student might come home from school and have a Coke. Europeans might have a glass of wine at dinner, one glass of wine, just as an American might drink iced tea. There is no problem with drinking and driving in Europe, the reason being that there are no warnings for drunk drivers like there are in the United States—none of this having your license takenaway for 30 days forthe first offense. People who get caught driving drunk in Europe never drive again. Some have suggested that if America dropped the drinking age and tightened the drunk driving laws, then maybe we would have as few problems as Europe has. Maybe we would. Part of the thrill of teenage drinking is the idea of doing something illegal and getting away with it. Many people find that their drinking activities decrease after they actually turn 21. The alcohol is available for theii use anytime they can afford to purchase it, and there is no thrill of doing something illegal without getting caught. Drinking isn't any big deal anymore. But even with this in mind, America could probably never eliminate its drinking age, the reason being the way Americans view alcohol. Here, unlike in Europe, alcohol is seen not as a beverage to drink socially but a beverage to make us feel good. Americans—and, not to be stereo­ typical, but especially young Americans—rarely have a drink, one drink, just for the sheer enjoyment of having a drink. When many Americans drink, they drink several beers, glasses of wine or shots of liquor—enough to make them feel at least a little woozy and disoriented. Being woozy and disoriented from drinking is what causes problems, not drinking itself. People rarely get in trouble due to alcohol after only having one or two drinks. People usually don't get sick from drinking after only a couple of drinks, either. I am very much of the opinion that what people do is their own business as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, but I fail to see the poinrof getting intoxicated every Friday and Saturday night (and sometimes Thursday nights, too) to such a point that die victim of intoxication spends all day S aturday and Sunday down on his or her hands and knees worshipping the great porcelain god. Is whatever enjoyment that getting drunk brings worth the suffering afterwards? Of course there is another side to this which says that drinking, even one drop, is evil. This is the side that brought usprohibition in the '20s, which if anyoneremem­ bers from history books was such a failure that it was almost a joke. The part that wasn't funny was that people died from drinking homemade moonshine. Prohibition was brought to us by wives like Carrie Nation who were tired of their husbands coming home drunk and being* violent. It lasted about 10 years, then drinking was made 3 legal again due to the fact that it was always there anyway, just illegally and very dangerously. Drinking, in and of itself, has no evil connotations. Yes, j there is a Bible verse that says something about notj partaking of intoxicating substances. However, if drink- > ing were a sin, would Jesus have changed the water to ( wine at the wedding in Cana? Ideally, the drinking age should be lowered or even ( eliminated. Ideally, everyone should have the right to ;• enjoy his or her favorite alcoholic beverage without hav- > ing to worry about sending someone else to the store to -J buy it. However, the country felt it was necessary to raise 3 the drinking age in order to eliminate the tragic effects of 3 a few people's irresponsible drinking activities. To drink > or not is a matter of individual choice, and the individual J probably knows best how much alcohol he or she can 3 handle at a time. Anyone who does choose to drink should 3 be responsible—don't drink so much that you lose control « of your own thoughts, words and actions. People get in ; trouble from drinking when they drink so much they J become violent and don't remember what happened the 3 next morning (this is especially bad for women). Every- I one should know his or her limits. And, above all, if j you've had too much to drink, let someone else drive you J home. „ 3 Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson.

Anyway, we both go to the bar and have a couple of drinks, sometimes paid for by people like you (of the male gender). Then we experience our female bonding.

So we both go to the bathroom and try to figure out ways to either leave without being seen or to hook up with the cute guys on the other side of the night is over and your friends leave you alone, the bonding is gone. You will simply bond with a few different women the next night. It just doesn't last. Maybe womencan't have fun with each other. That sounds pretty ridiculous to me, but maybe it's really true. It seemsyou can always find a group of men drinking and playing cards or watching TV and having a great time together, but there is a dearth of comparable gatherings of women. workable, theory: Women simply won't female bond with each other because they can't Male bonding works because men speak honestly to each other no matter who they offend or make fun of. They have inflated egos which are hard to crumble with insults, and they have a tolerance for people who don't dress or groom exactly like they do. Society teaches women to be catty from the time they are bom. Now, I won't say that all women or e f all men act the same way, but I still draw from my own experience. I attend social functions regularly, and I usually travel in a group of mixed gender. Throughout the engagement, someone is constantly whis: pering in my ear: "her dress is too short," or, "Those are atrocious earrings," or "If I could fix her hair, it would look a lot better," etc. The person doing the whis­ pering has never been a male, and the derogatory comments are always about other females. * I understand that all of us live in a society which currently teaches from our very inception that men should be bold and daring while women should be timid and secretive. Men are taught to become ' hearty and knowledgeable, while women: are taught to become secluded and depen­ dent. Women, if you are truly mature, it ii' time to put this kind of teaching behind you. Open your souls to the myriad of possible friends around you. Thanks to male bonding, I have a lot of friends I carv truly refer to as "buddies." Women seeni to have no equivalent in their friendship scheme. The time has come for this to; change. Women, you are missing out on a lot of fun with your own "buddies." Go meet them, go have a good time with therrv and enjoy yourself thoroughly. Most im­ portantly, when you bring up your daugh-; ters, remember to teach them to be as open-minded and tolerant of others ideas and attitudes as you teach her brothers.! You have been missing out, and it's time you found out what all of the fuss was' about. You don't have to be male to enjoy "friendship bonding."

Legends aids student efforts to recycle Manager explains recycling policies To the Editor Luckily, Eddie had stumbled upon a rare variety of deadly nightshade, the amicable Atropa belladonna congenialocus. (Later that same day, however, he blundered into some poison oak — a flat-out intolerant species.) I am writing in response to the article on the recycling efforts at Legends. We are appreciative of all efforts to educate the campus community on the need to be good stewards of our earth's precious limited resources.To that end, we wish to make the following points: l.The Department of Student Programs was the first agency on campus to begin recycling (in Legends and the Union). We began more than a year prior tothe univer­ sity-wide efforts without fanfare or publicity. We did it because it was right In those days students bagged therecyclables and periodically hauled them to the county recycling center. 2. Broken glass and trash continue to present an unmanageable obstacle to our total recycling efforts. This may now be­ gin to change with increased awareness and sensitivity on the part of the Appala­ chian student body. 3. If it has appeared that we have been remiss in our duties on occasions, this was due to the cans or bottles on the tables not being empty. These we must dispose of, as the recycling center will only accept empty containers. A renewed effort will be encouraged the achieve a total recy­ cling effort including the separation of clear and colored glass but it will only succeed if the students attending assist us by emptying their containers before disposing. A container with the added weight •Hi \ HI i of"half-full" containers of liquid will not ' be accepted by the recycling plant. 4. For health and sanitation reasons, we > will not ask students to separaterecyclables i from trash, broken glass, cigarette butts, 3 tobacco juice, etc. We have to count on J our patrons for support with our efforts, I Admonish your friends to do what is right ' as well.

This increased capacity is necessary to meet the variousconference andprogramming needs for the University, said Dave Robertson, director of student programs. With some exceptions, the entire sec­ ond floor of the student union will be closed: the Game Room, the Sign Shop, 0fthe the Forum Room, the Skylight Lounge, Peer Career,room 211 and the Meditation Room. The Gold Room will be open fulltime and the bowling alley w ill open occa­ sionally. A. P. P.S. offices andS tudent Pro­ grams will be moved to the Mini-Mall of the first floor. The tentative schedule allows Work­ man Hall Offices and Outdoor Programs to move into the renovated second floor from May through June. In the summer and fall of 1992, work will begin on the new union addition. The first floor of the original student union will be renovated after the addition is completed and occu­ pied. Organizations and clubs will be mostly affected by the renovations, since several meeting rooms will be closed, said Robertson. After the project is completed, he said, there will be plenty of room for group meetings, but during the transition, groups will have to cooperate and share the available space."Consequently, this will leave the campus with only two small conference rooms (rooms 110 and 112) and the Plemmons Student Union Pub as multi-purpose meeting and pro­ gramming spaces until after the comple­ tion of the new addition,"said Robertson. The office of student programs is trying to compensate for the loss of space by open­ ing Legends to groups on campus, said Robertson. Legends will beopened evenings Mon­ day through Wednesday to accommodate programs, meetings and special events. Many guidelines for the use of Legends exist. Large space is available for groups of 75 or more with a two-hour lime limit. Two small meeting rooms are available for up to 18 people with an hour and onehalf time limit. An organization may schedule three functions a year on Thurs­ day or Friday evening. Plemmons Student Union Pub will also provide meeting space if certain guide­ lines are followed. Eachorganization may occupy The Pub three times a semester on Sunday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Regular meetings can be scheduled Monday through Wednesday from 5 to 10 p.m. Each organization may reserve The Pub one time on Friday or Saturday evening subject to availability. Club and organization leaders and ad­ visors must reserve Legends and The Pub for their Spring semester meetings. Res­ ervations can be made in room 101 of the student union. The renovations and closings may seem unfair to many students.Students are won­ dering why now? Robertson said, "We regret the pending inconvenience, but we are excited about the overall enhance­ ment to this most valuable University resource." Even though construction is supposed to begin in January 1992, students must remember that this date is tentative. Progress has been slowed.Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Development Bob Fide said, "I don't know exactly when they're going to pull the plug and begin actual construction." Appalachian Stale University and the architects are still plan­ ning the construction, and papers are still unsigned. Until the paperwork is com­ pleted, the construction crew cannot be­ gin to swing the wrecking ball, said Fide. Book rentals help some students By TRACY WILLI ARD Assistant News Editor One thing students can count on at the beginning of a semester at Appalachian Slate is lines. Lines in the drop/add pro­ cess at I.G. Greer, lines in the paperback section of the bookstore and definitely lines in the rental department of the book­ store. Lines in the bookstore were particu­ larly bad this year, according to John George, the University Bookstore's text­ book manager. This year the lines were bad because ollhe scheduling of the spring semester," Mid George. "Classes started on Monday, and no one came back the week before, which meant that large numbers of stu­ dents came to the bookstore on Monday." George hires groups of students to work in the bookstore to help with the rush of Undents, but that doesn't solve everyling. "You just cannot serve 11,000 students inoneday,"said George. "The bookstore was so crowded that two women fainted. Ithink the reason they fainted is that they were probably overheated." ASU has been using a book rental sysitm for almost 50 years, according to George. "The rental system started here in the 40s, and it has just stayed this way," said George. "If faculty members choose to use the books that are in the bookstore, it is really a good system for the students." ASU charges students a fee of $48 per semester to rent books. According to George, students benefit from the rental system because some of the books are so expensive. "For example, one Calculus book we have would cost students around $70 in­ cluding tax if they had to buy it," said George. Jeni Powers, an ASU senior, said she feels that the book rental system does benefit students. "Compared to the university I trans­ ferred from, the book rental system at ASU is better," said Powers."I spent a lot more money at the other university on buying all my books than I do by paying the book rental fee here." Powers said that she may rent fewer books from the bookstore now than she did when she was still taking general college courses, but she said she still feels like she benefits from the rental system. Shannon McGinnis, an ASU junior, said she feels that the ASU rental system hurts some students more than it helps them, including her. "I'm an English major and at the most, I rent one book per semester, yet I still have to pay the full rental price in addition to the $200 worth of paperbacks that have to be bought," said McGinnis. George said the bookstore carries a comparable amount of books for 3000 and 4000 level classes as it does for gen­ eral college classes. "The only difference is that we carry larger amounts of books for general col­ lege classes, like history, than we do for 3000 and 4000 level classes," said George. George said that he is getting many calls from other schools who want infor­ mation on the book rental system. Appa­ lachian is one of four schools in the state that has a rental system, said George. One reason large universities don't have book rental systems is because they are too big, according to George. "A book rental system won't work at universities like Carolina because they are too big," said George. "There is no way to get all the faculty to agree on which books to order." George said that one problem with the book rental system is that sometimes they run out of books, and students have to wait until more books arrive. According to George, this happens when additional sections of courses are added and more students end up taking a course than was anticipated. Another way a shortage of books occurs is when stu­ dents who rented books the previous se­ mester don't return them on time so they can be reissued.

ASU has the right to subtract fees from students' paychecks % DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer Some Appalachian student employees have been surprised when they re­ ceived their final paycheck for the semesmy ler' Some students got less than they ex­ pected. Through a state policy, the university csn deduct any unpaid fees from any emPoyee that works for the state. This in­ cludes students who hold on-campus jobs. Any fees that a student owes the school 0,11 he subtracted from their check. This includes lab fees, library fees and parking tickets. A student can also be charged for P.E. equipment not returned, any unpaid tuition or fees. ASU routinely gives students amonth's warning before any fees are subtracted from their checks. But when the end of a semester approaches, a warning may not come. "The warning is a courtesy. There are times, however, when a warning is not possible, especially at the end of a semes­ ter. We want to make sure that any stu­ dents who may not be returning next se­ mester pay all their fees," said Thomas Wright, who works in theASU controller's office. A student also might not receive warn­ ing if the fees are acquired close to theend of a semester simply because there is not enough time, added Wright. Some students question the charges because they feel that many of the fees are normally paid for by their parents. "My parents pay for most of my fees, such as lab fees. The money I make from my campus job is supp»sed to be used for my personal spending money,"said ASU junior Kerry Rutherford. "It's kind of Special children enjoy skiing upsetting when I don't get as much as I had expected." Wright answers these complaints by pointing to the Buckley Amendment. Also known as the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Buckley Amendment requires universities to work directly with the students. "Although we may mail materia] to the home address, it is always addressed to the student. The fees are taken out of student checks because we arerequired to deal with the students," said Wright. Some students may request that certain fees be taken out of their checks on a L OLYMPICS HELD AT APPALACHIAN SKI MOUNTAIN: The Southeast Regional Special Winter racing event was recently held at Appalachian Ski Mountain.

In order to receive a deferment stu­ dents must present proof to financial aid that they hold an on-campus job. This requires written documentation.

"It's been a terrible loss to me, the biggest personal loss I've ever suffered in my life," said teary eyed Darlene Scott, Barker's secretary of 20 years. "We've had people come in from all over campus, from the people who change the light bulbs to the people at the top to express their loss. His door was always open," Scott said. Appalachian State University students, however, may have suffered the greatest loss, Scott said. shifting the responsibility to other librar­ ians," Scott said.

If granted, this enables a student to have a set amount of money deducted from their paycheck in order to pay for fees. Usually students will ask for a defer­ ment if they are unable to pay for all of their tuition and fees by the registration date. "It is essentially a chance to pay part of one's tuition and fees after the registration date.

Kennedy on K°y. 22,1963, in Dallas. Whether you believe there was a con­ vey behind the Kennedy assassination Jnot, the film makes you think. Even if do believe there was a conspiracy. you vou mayi not believe it was as involved jk) widespread as "JFK" indicates. I Costner's character, New Orleans dis­ pel attorney Jim Garrison, reveals a large poup of people and agencies supposedly jjjociated with the assassination plot, in­ cluding Fidel Castro, the FBI and the Dallas police department. The evidence Garrison gives on his side makes his alle­ gations hard todispute. The WarrenCom­ mission, the government agency investi­ gating the Kennedy assassination, stated that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, fired three shots with a semi-automatic weapon in less than six seconds from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository building.The film depicts three investigators for G arrison prov ing notonly that it was impossible for Oswald to fire three shots in less than six seconds with that particular weapon, but also that even with a telescopeon therifle, Oswald could not have seen well enough from the sixth floor of the book depository to hit Kennedy twice. The Warren Commission also presents a photograph of Oswald holding the gun used to kill Kennedy as evidence that he was the assassin. However, Garrison also refutes this evidence by pointing out that the angle of the sun on the ground in the picture indicates thatit was3 p.m., whereas the angle of the sun on Oswald's face indicates that it was noon. Therefore, someone must have put Oswald's face onto someone else's picture. It is difficult, especially for the average person, to refute these arguments in favor of a conspiracy. However, after awhile. Garrison's "evidence" starts to look ques­ tionable and even a little ridiculous. For example, he brings the Dallas police de­ partment into the conspiracy by saying that it turned around the testimonies of two witnesses. The film depicts one woman saying that she was stopped at a stoplight on Elm Street in Dallas, where Hot bands converge on Boone only heard three shots, because only three were fired," and recorded her testimony accordingly. This was to alleviate any suspicion that shots were fired from the grassy knoll, ahead of Kennedy's motor­ cade, as well as from the depository, be­ hind it. Perhaps the most interesting and defi­ nitely the most questionable part of the film is the scene in which Costner stands on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and is approached by a man played by Donald Sutherland who introduces himself as a former FBI employee. The man stales that he doesn't want his identity revealed—he will give information but only under the name "Mr. X.""Mr. X" says that he held a somewhat superior position in the FBI during the time of Kennedy's assassina­ tion. He was supposed to make prepara­ tions for the president's safety in Dallas, and knowing that Kennedy was entering hostile territory, "Mr. X" was prepared to be extra cautious. However, a week be­ fore the president was scheduled to leave, "Mr. X" is sent on some unimportant mission a long way from either Washing­ ton or Dallas, and someone else would be in charge of the president's safety on his trip. "I didn't understand," was "Mr. X"*s comment. Someone in a lower position in the FBI could have, and would have, been sent on that trip. According to "Mr. X," adequate pro­ tection for the president was not provided in Dallas. Had the FBI done its job, no window in any building along the motor­ cade route would have been allowed to be See "JFK" page 6 Harlem Boys Choir visits ASU By LORRIE GANTT Appalachian Staff Writer By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor This weekend features two of Boone's most popular bands performing for the Bond time this academic year.

She identified the man as Jack Ruby, who shot Oswald two days after the Kennedy assassination. Accord­ ing to those who believe in the conspiracy theory. Ruby, a nightclub owner in Dal­ las, was part of the conspiracy and shot Oswald to keep him from talking. Ac­ cording to the film, the Dallas police de­ partment told the woman, "No, that is not the man you saw," and recorded her testi­ mony as such, although she had clearly stated that Jack Ruby was the man in the truck.

One fearless boy, Billy (Loren Dean) from Bathgate Avenue, has the thousand-toone shot to make something of himself. Street-wise, and armed with sharp,cun­ ning instincts,B illy isconvinced that join­ ing mobster Dutch Schultz's (Dustin Hoffman) gang is his passport to the good life. Resolved to be recognized and ac­ cepted by the racketeer, he starts out as a flunky for the crime ring and finds himself surrounded by ruthless mobsters, includ­ ing the glamorous Bo Weinberg (Bruce Willis) and numbers wizard Otto Bcrman (Steven Hill). A quick study, the lad catches on to what it takes to succeed, and soon, under the watchful eye of Schultz, Billy gradu­ ates from lackey to trusted confidant. But life in the underworld is filled with mistrust and suspicion, and as Dutch's power and control wane, Billy must rely on everything he's learned from his men­ tor to save his own skin and carve a personal niche in the rackets, in Touch­ stone Pictures' new drama, "Billy Bathgate." Nicole Kidman also stars. "Billy Bathgate" is directed by Acad­ emy Award-winner Robert Benton ("Kramer vs. Kramer") from a screenplay by Pulitzer Prize-winner Tom Stoppard, based upon the book by E.L. Doctorow. Two-time Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman was born in Los Angeles and attended Santa Monica City College. He studied acting at the Pasadena Play­ house before moving to New York where he trained with Lee Strasberg. Director Mike Nichols cast Hoffman in the title role in "The Graduate." His portrayal of young Benjamin Braddock, the symbol of a generation, earned an Oscar for Nichols and brought Hoffman his first Academy Award nomination as best actor. He re­ turned to Broadway to star in "Jimmie Shine," by Murray Schisgal, and then costarred with Jon Voight in John Schlesinger's Academy Award-winning "Midnight Cowboy." Hoffman received his second Oscar nomination for his per­ formance in that film. He won his first Oscar as best actor for director Robert Benton's "Kramer vs. Kramer" (1979) and received his fifth nomination for Sydney Pollack's "Tootsie." Hoffman received his second Oscar portraying an autisticsavant in Barry Levinson's "Rain Man." In 1989 Hoffman started with Sean Connery and Matthew Broderick in TriStar's "Family Business" and in 1990 he portrayed mobster Mumbles in Touch­ stone Pictures' "Dick Tracy." He also stars in Steven Spielberg's "Hook." Australian actress Nicole Kidman (Drew Preston) was born in Hawaii and began when she was 10. A student at St. Martin's Youth Theater in Melbourne, she studied voice and theater history. Best known to American audiences for her starring role in "Dead Calm," Kidman appeared last year in "Days of Thunder" and has been seen in the Disney Channel mini-series "Five Mile Creek." Kidman is married to Tom Cruise, her "Days of Thunder" co-star. Despite its flashy elegance, this gang­ ster saga about the decline of notorious Depression-era thug Dutch Schultz comes off as hollow and unmoving. Faithfully adapted from E.L. Doctorow's popular novel, the events are told through the experiences of the teen-age title charac­ ter, an eager mob gofer played with some strain by Loren Dean.

The president would •not have been allowed to ride in the car I wj^hout the bulletproof bubble on top. More secret servicemen would have been • itit to Dallas with the president. Accord­ ing to "Mr. X,"this lack of consideration Jfer the president's safety was the FBI's , pyt in the conspiracy. •> *Jim Garrison was, in reality, a district attorney in New Orleans and the only jjJrson to prosecute anyone for Kennedy's , assassination. The person he prosecuted w£s Clay Shaw, a New Orleans citizen w{io allegedly operated in the conspiracy ynder the name of Clay Bertrand. One of if* final scenes of the movie shows Shaw's trial, in which Garrison refutes the theory » e( the "magic bullet," the bullet that went tJ/augh Kennedy's neck then turned a Jew somersaults in order to go through T*xas Governor John Connally's wrist arid leg. This "magic bullet" theory, ac­ cording to Garrison, is the basis of the Warren Commission's testimony. Also included in "JFK" is footage of Abraham Zapruder's home movie of Kennedy's assassination as well as gro­ tesque footage of the autopsy. It was hard to tell if this particular footage was real or fake. Small details of Oswald's life, his short record as a Marine, his stay in Russia and his lack of difficulty in re-entering the United States with his Russian wife were included as evidence of his part in the conspiracy. However, the film has us be­ lieve that Oswald was framed by other conspirators and in reality fired no shotsat anyone. (When he was arrested within a couple of hours of the assassination at a Dallas movie theater,he said intoreporter's microphones, "I didn't kill nobody.") Garrison's home life is detailed in sev­ eral scenes in the film. His wife, played by Sissy Spacek, demands that he spend more time with her and the five children and less time working on the Kennedy assas­ sination. She first gets irritated with him after he chooses Easter Sunday to inter­ view Clay Shaw, then finally threatens to leave him. She supports Garrison in the end, appearing with their oldest son to watch Garrison prosecute Clay Shaw. Whether or not you believe there was a conspiracy behind the Kennedy assassi­ nation or not, the three-and-a-half hour long film "JFK" with Costner's astound­ ing performance in the leading role gives you plenty of details to consider and either believe or try to refute. "JFK" is a film well worth seeing. Give A Hoot! Pon't Pollute!

Junior Melissa Morrison turned in the best of several impressive individual per­ formances by the Lady Apps. With a time of 8.07 in the 55-meter hurdles, Morrison took first place in the event and broke her own school record in the process.Morrison also took third place in the long jump with a jump of 18 '7.5", the fifth-best jump in Appalachian history. Lynette Gardin and Leigh Wallace were the other first-place finishers for ASU. Gardin took top honors in the 400-meter with a time of 59.49, while Wallace won the 5,000-meter run with a timeof 17:38.6. "I t was exciting tosee Melissa Morrison start out so strong in the hurdles and Leigh Wallace in the 5000-meter," Appalachian Head Coach John Weaver said. "Both these ladies are setting themselves up for possible NCAA qualifying marks later on in the season." Sabrina Hill and Alicia Foust, along with Morrison, were the only Lady Moun­ taineers to place in the top three of two different events. Hill took second in the high jump and third place in the triple jump, while Foust finished third in both the 55-meter dash end the 200-meter dash. "We feel this meet was a good start to, hopefully, another outstanding season," Weaver commented. "There are many areas in which we need improvement, but the effort and enthusiasm is there." The Lady Mountaineers will be back in action tomorrow in Johnson City, Term, in the USAir Invitational, hosted by East Tennessee State University. Men The men's squad competed against more than 30 teams in the Marriott Invita­ tional on January 17. Head Coach A1 Fereshetian enjoyed strong individual performances from several athletes, in­ cluding one first place finish. Eric Roberts took first in the 35-pound weight throw with a toss of 52'4.75". Jon Fullen finished second in the high jump at 6*10.75", and Lenell took fifth place in the triple jump with a leap of 46'4". "I thought it was a good opening meet for us," Fereshetian said. "I thought we had a good all-around showing." Freshman Jason Dal ton, in his first ever competition, advanced to the semifinals of the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.47. Fellow freshman Lee Watts also turned in a good showing in the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.59. Dustin Alfred turned in a personal-best time in the one-mile run at 4.26, and Kedrick Ford ran a 7.83 in the 55-meter hurdles, the best time in the Southern Conference this season. Appalachian State is the frontrunner for the Southern Conference champion­ ship this season, and Fereshetian feels the performance last weekend was a sign of things to come. "We're certainly in a position that I feel we can control what happens to us," Fereshetian said. "We have to guard against complacency and keep ourselves together mentally. "I feel we probably have the deepest team (in the Southern Conference) this year, and we feel we might be able to score in every event at the conference meet. That is one of our goals—to score in every event at the conference meet."

ASU led 38-36 at the half and played well for most of the game, before a late rush by the Paladins sparked them to the victory. Ross paced five App double-figure scor­ ers with 18 points.

The Apps con­ By SHANNON MCGINN1S Appalachian Staff Writer The ASU Lady Mountaineer volley­ ball team received a bid to the National Invitational Volleyball Champion­ ship where they competed on Dec. 5-7. The Mountaineers were the first South­ ern Conference team to ever receive a bid for the tournament. ASU played William and Mary, Northern Illinois, Villanova and Santa Clara in a round robin pool, but were defeated in all four matches. Santa Clara won the pool and advanced to the semifinals. The Kentucky Wildcats won the entire tournament. ASU Head Coach Traci McGee be­ lieved that the year was a success despite the losses at the NIVC. She said that she was very pleased they could go to the tournament and represent the Southern Conference. She also believed that a lot of their losses at the tournament were due to lack of experience. "In two of the matches I felt like we had the ability to win," McGee commented, "but with this being the first time (the team has ever been to the NIVC), they had more to work through." McGee, who served as the chairperson of the Southern Conference Volleyball Committee, is credited for the opportu­ nity that the Mountaineers received to attend the NIVC. "I did a lot of lobbying to get to the NIVC," McGee said. The board of direc­ tors and the selection committee of the NIVC decide who receives a bid. The bid for the conference is decided at the con­ vention each year. After two and a half years of working to get a bid, Appalachian received an automatic bid for winning the tournament. McGee summed up the season's progress with one word, "challenging." The team had a very competitive sched­ ule, but they went into it with an "aggres­ sive attitude," according to McGee. Ap­ palachian was seeded second in the con­ ference butclaimed the tournamentcham­ pionship. "They had bad times and good times," McGee commented, "After a season like we had. it (the bid to the NIVC) was the one last thing to inspire the team. "It's rewarding to look back on the season," she added. McGee continued to comment that with the talent on the upcoming 1992 team, the team will be even better than this year's. She also believed that if the ASU team ever is presented with the opportunity tc attend the NIVC again, they will do much better because they will be a more experienced team. McGee has already begun to prepai for the upcoming. That team will have si returning seniors: Holley Shamburge Rachael Wade, Kim Nelson, Joann Myers, Carla Andrews and Sandra Lovi "These particular players will have lot to prove," McGee said. McGee also commented on the talet of the lowerclassmen, including the uj coming freshman recruits. "The underclassmen and the freshms recruits are highly skilled and very mot vated, and looking forward to the 19S season," commented McGee. I think the program is going to grow McGee continued, "The volleyball tea is something to keep your eve on." �1IL The Appalachian. Thursday.

The reason for this is that too many other issues are tied to the abortion issue, none of which have easy answers. The pro-life group believes life begins at conception, questions the moral issue of an unwanted or inconvenient pregnancy and believes abortion produces negative psychological effects on a woman. The prochoice groupaddresses theissues of children being brought up by mothers who didn't want them or can't take care of them, the dangers of a teenager having a baby, and the woman's right to decide whether or not she can or should have a child at any given time.

You pass the pens, the pencils, the notebooks and the Band-Aids. You turn and climb higher, reaching the sweatshirts, T-shirts and gym shorts. You climb even higher, finally reaching your destination: the top floorof the ASU bookstore, which houses the rental textbooks. However, you [ail to see any textbooks as you enter. All you see are students, clustered together in massive clumps called lines. It seems that all 11,367 students have come to pick up their books at once. And it seems 11,000 of those students have last names that begin with the same letters as yours. So you wait in line, wondering if you are going to get your books before your next class, which begins in less than an hour. You know you won't make it but you wait, with hope, or with disgust. Nearly every Appalachian student has encountered such a day at the bookstore recently; and some have encountered such an occurance more than once, being forced to return after attending class. So, can any of the hassle associated with picking up rental texts be deviated? Can the stressfulnessof the situation be eliminated? Can anything be done to reduce the lines and lessen the tdhfilsidri difd'tdifgeistibn? The Appalachian feels simple steps can be taken by both bookstore personnel and students to decrease the number of problems. One step should require students to attend all classes before going to the bookstore for rental texts. Thus, professors can tell students exactly which books they will need for a particular class. This will eliminate those retumtrips to the rental section. Often, when a student reaches the front of the line, heor she will hear, "Have you attended class yet?" If the answer is"no" then Ik student will be forced to do so to find out which books he or she needs. If ikstudent went to class first, then this problem could be eliminated. Students would only make one trip to the bookstore, and would only join (and aid in causing) the confusion once. Returning textbooks and picking upnew ones should be a two-part process, lithe spring, this process is jammed into one. This year students were given mil Jan. 17 to return their fall rental textbooks. Many students opted to return fall books while picking up spring texts. This causes more confusion and a longer wait for those in line. If the fall books had been returned in the fall, then time would be saved by all in the spring. As the system stands, a great deal of patience is required by all. The top floor is hot and crowded at the start of each semester. The two simple such as "When someone tells you abortion is just a matter between a woman and her doctor, they're forgetting somebody ;"or "If he is not alive, then why is he growing? If he is not a child, then why is he sucking his thumb? If he is human, then why is it legal to kill him?" Pro-choice propaganda also uses the method of trying to get us very emotional. This time our emotions "are directed toward the pregnant woman (or, oftentimes, the pregnant girl) who cannot or should not have a baby. One advertisement shows a girl, maybe 12 or 13 years old, sitting in a desk in a classroom. The picture is taken from overhead and the girl is looking up at the camera. 7Ite caption reads, "Do I look like a mother to you?" „- , Another advertisementrelales to parental-consent laws. The Planned Parenthood advertisement tries to convince the reader that minors should not have to have tlieir parents' consent before having an abortion. A woman is holding a picture of her teenaged daughter. The caption' reads, "Now, our daughter will never be able to talk to us about anything that's bothering her. Never." The stojy behind this was that a 17-year-old girl got pregnant in a state that has parental-consent laws and was afraid to'tell her parents. She had an illegal abortion and died. No easy answers are available to any of these questions. And so the war continues and continues brutally. Both factions have a nasty habit of using very interesting propaganda to win over us moderates who prefer not to take a radical, close-minded, unyielding stand on any­ thing. One type of pro-life propaganda has been wellpublicized over the years—picketing abortion clinics. Pro-lifers have been arrested for doing this. That's what the news tells us. What it doesn't tell us is the emotional impacts that picketers who scream "Baby killer!" and other such things have on women who are trying to get Abortion is a very complicated and certainly vtiry around the picketers and enter the clinic, not even neces­ sarily to have an abortion, but maybe just to get informa­ emotional issue. The pro-life and pro-choice factions tion. I doubt this type of propaganda ever won anybody have taken their stands and are warring against each other; wholeheartedly, using propaganda that emphasizes how' over to the pro-life side. The brochures and advertisements of both factions emotional the issue is. Whether or not to support abortion intend to play on our emotions. In all reality this is is a decision the individual must make for him or hersejf. probably a very effective type of propaganda for either Contrary to what both sides seem to think, the abortior| side. But the extremes to which the brochures and ads go issue has no simple answers. Everyone who forms art to get us emotional are ridiculous. One pro-life brochure opinion on it should understand how complicated it is and not be swayed by card-stacking propaganda that gives an showed an enlarged picture of an aborted five-month-old fetus. Thank goodness most pro-life organizations don't oversimplified answer to all the many questions involved feel they have to be so gruesome. Most pro-life brochures i n t h i s i s s u e .

By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor This past Sunday, Jan. 19, was observed in some churches as Sanctity of Life Sunday. On this day, which is observed once a year beginning just a couple of years ago, pro-lifeorganizations rally together to preach against abortion. Some pro-life groups take the opportunity on Sanctity of Life Sunday to go around to various churches, give talks (often as part of or replacing the sermon) and pass out brochures encouraging people not to support abortion. Pro-life and pro-choice factions have been at each other's throats since before Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case which legalized abortion, was passed in 1973. Membership in organizations such as the Christian Action Council on the pro-life side and the National Abortion Rights Action League on the pro-choice side has grown in numbers. Both factions have marched on Washington a number of limes. And it seems that every year, the fight gets uglier. The different factions even have different names for themselves and their enemies in the abortion war. The pro-life faction calls itself "pro-life" and its opponents "anti-life." The pro-choice faction uses the names "pro-choice" and "anti-choice." Traditional students left without hope Children ofy80s reach adulthood with a disappointed view of the world t By KELLI MCHARGE Appalachian Staff Writer Most traditional students at ASU are the '80s generation. Elementary, junior high and high school occurred for those of us traditional students under the presi­ dency of the "Great Communicator." But truthfully, fellow members of that era, I think we got cheated. We got cheated out of hope. From the time I was nine until I was 17, Ronald Reagan was president. I listened to a kindly grandfather figure tell how the "evil empire" was coming to get us. But, we could trust Grandpa Ronnie. He would protect us. Well, guess what? Grandpa lied. We have found that Ronnie lied to us. We had trusted and believed in him. The disillusionment has affected us. We have • . . rifvtW-L.v • tShfSPKW r* Igia II" I f been cheated out of the hope that our Soviets were not as bad as the dangers of having sex. Now, what is supposed to be government would not lie to us. Grandpa Ronnie had to save us from the greatest act humans know, can kill Qaddafi. George protected us from you. And it will be a slow, agonizing Saddam. But, the United States is respon­ death. Have we not lost hope when sex sible for putting both Qaddafi and Saddam becomes an act of suicide instead of an act in power. Same goes for Noriega. We of love? Most of us realize that when we leave have been cheated out of the hope that our government is not creating our future en­ here, finding a job is not going to be easy. We can no longer hope for the dream of emies. I remember the '80s well. I remember four years of college then a good job. Now when the only illegal drugs I saw were on we have to accept the fact that those years Miami Vice. Now, I don't just see it in of college are not very likely to put us on high school and in college. I hear that you the career ladder. I remember when you can get the stuff in elementary and junior went to college so you could get a good high school. Can we no longer hope that job. Sorry, that hope is gone, too. Bush's recent trip to Japan has made our fifth graders aren't getting high on the clear the perils of the economy. This is playground? You know what's really sad? All of the because people no longer buy AmericanReagan years we were told to fear the made products. I believe in buying Ameri­ "Evil Empire."Well, the dangers from the can. But, it is hard to justify spending my s hard-earned money not just on an Ameri­ can car, but also on many American re­ pairs. During my generation, Americanmade became associated with low quality.; I realize that the automakers say their; quality is comparable to Japanese quality.* But, I am a product of the 1980s. I lost the. hope that my fellow Americans could pro-] duce a quality product. I realize that this is quite pessimistic. And, don't get me wrong, I am proud*<Jf my country and my generation.

Many, many people would come to see them. They were all very happy to do so. They would scream and dance and crowd as close to the stage as they could. Sometimes, the people would become so excited, that they would get out of control and smash into each other. Some people, especially the smaller ones, would get knocked around and stepped cn. Fortunately though, ev­ eryone there was so friendly and in such a happy mood that they helped each other. They would pick each other up if they fell and protect the smaller people if they were in danger. In the end, almost everyone at Connells' concerts had a good time. Hitting, shoving frequent at Legends To the Editor: op-ih ^ »»*. * IT* 1 ^ Once upon a time, there was a group of minstrels known as The Connells. They were very good minstrels and traveled all over the world playing their music. Many people loved them. They were very mys­ tical, and nobody was quite sure what the messages of their songs were, but their music was so happy and energetic that people loved them anyway. At about this same time, there was another group of minstrels. They were known as Drivin' n' Cry in'. They were also very good minstrels, and many people loved them, too. In fact, a great many of the peple who loved The Connells also loved Drivin' n' Cryin'. This was interest­ ing, because the two bands were rather different. Drivin' n' Cryin' played music that was much louder and harsher and, believe it or not, even more energetic than The Connells' music. However, one of the reasons that fans of The Connells also liked Drivin' n' Cryin' was because of the words. Unlike The Connells, you could understand what Drivin' n' Cryin' was talking about. The band members were talking about peace and brotherhood, honor and justice. They wTOte serious songs about serious issues, and people loved them. Occasionally, Drivin' n' Cryin' would also come to the town of Boone, And, once again, many, many people would come to see them. Strangely, though, it was a very different atmosphere. The at­ mosphere at Drivin' n' Cryin' shows was angry and violent. People would try and get as close to the stage as they could, just like at Connells' shows, but now they would curse and shove people. They would knock down the smaller people and hit and kick anybody who got in their way. Not everybody at the Drivin' n' Cryin' concerts was like this. The people who also loved The Connells weren't. The people who loved Drivin' n' Cryin' for their messages of peace and brotherhood weren't. These people were very con­ fused and upset about the whole thing. They had wanted to come to the show and scream and dance and crowd as close to the stage as they could, but instead they were beaten up and abused by violent, unintelligent people. It seems a strange thing to them that, on the stage, the min­ strels were singing about peace and broth­ erhood, honor and justice, and yet, in the crowd, people were beating each other up. A strange thing, indeed. There were other people besides the fans at these minstrel shows. There were also the people who organized the shows. They were always easy to recognize be­ cause they would wear shirts with "A.P.P.S. CONCERT STAFF' written on them. Not only did they organize these shows, but it was also their job to keep the violent, unintelligent people from beating up and abusing the people who came }£ hear the minstrels. Unfortunately, they were very bad<cg this. In fact, they often just sat on the stage watching the show while the people in tfie audience were beaten up. They talked very loudly about how they wouldn't to£ erate violence at their shows, but, in thg end, the violent, unintelligent people c£d whatever they pleased. So, what is the moral of thislittle story? There are two morals, I guess. The firsrig that, despite the fact that this is a univ«£ sity and westudents aresupposed to be tfte elite of our society, there are still an am^r> ing number of unsophisticated unintelligent Neanderthals among Neanderthals who haven't the first cl«g what Kevin Kenner is singing about an "Look What You've Done To Yojw Brother Lately."

When confronted with stress and de­ pression during the holidays, most stu­ dents are able to relieve their problems by talking to a friendor counselor. However, if the student becomes unable to handle the stress, they can become a suicide risk. If students are hopeless, helpless and hapless for a long period of time, suicide or an attempt is a possibility, according to Sanz. The late fall and early winter are often when most suicides are committed, Sanz said.

Where now many of these facilities are located in buildings scattered across cam­ pus, the new building would contain all of the enrollment management facilities, cashiers operations, information center, alumni offices and residence life and residence facilities, according to Zimmerman. At the moment, plans do not include placing the chancellor, vice chancellor and any of their offices in the new build­ ing. These offices would remain in the current administration building, accord­ ing to Zimmerman. "It's thetype of place where if a student and parents had never been to Boone, and they were interested in the university, that would be the place they would go that would most likely have the information they would want to know about the cam­ pus," Zimmerman said. "I think it's about time they got every­ thing organized under one building be­ cause it makes itmore convenient and less time consuming for all those involved," said Kelli Getchell, an ASU sophomore. "This will make it more efficient because everything is right there." The advantage to the faculty and the whole university is a more efficient run­ ning university, Zimmerman said. When the Academic Support Building is submitted for approval, it will be com­ bined with two other proposed projects in the same category of the capital improve­ ments list of the university facilities plan, Zimmerman said.

One in every 500 students is infected with HIV virus, according to a study by One Appalachian student. Matt Smith, said he understands why people may get depressed during the holiday season. "In one sense, by being a release from anxiety, stress and pressure, the holidays can be a very vivid reminder of that desparity in the rest of the year. Holidays are times when we can evaluate the ex­ tremities and irrationality of life in a placid, rational setting, and depression is not an uncommon or unreasonable effect," said Smith. He continues,"But, holiday depression can be a summons for the increased per­ ception and understanding that most people simply recognize as holiday spirit." the Centers for Disease Control and the who admitted to a deep concern for the American College Health Association,and college-age population. there is worry among AIDS officials that 'Twenty percentof200,000 AIDScases risky sexual behavior will soon drive that are between ages 13 to 29, and we know figure upward. that for half, it takes 10 years for symp­ An estimated 1 million to 1.5 million toms to show up, so a number of them Americans are HIV positive.

The state evaluates the school's needs, receives political input and input from the university and then determines the priority of the buildings. "The project will go in at $9.5 million and is being requested for 100 percent state funding," Zimmerman said. Thebuilding willcover76,808 to 79,586 square feet. It will be located on Rivers Street approximately where Outdoor Programs is now. Outdoor Programs and the surrounding facilities will be relocated before the Academic Support Building is constructed, Zimmerman said. The university attempted to sell the university buildings along Rivers Street; however, they found the raw materials were worth more if they could be used for repairs on campus and sold separately. Zimmerman said he feels the state will accept the proposal in the next legislative session. "Most of the university's most severe space problems are in the operations that would ultimately be moved," Zimmerman said. "The university has not been given permission to request a new math and science building, however the administration is working on it internally," Zimmerman said. (CPS)—A federal judge has cleared the way for student journalists to report about crime on campuses nationwide, a ruling described as a major legal victory for college newspapers. U.S. District Judge Stanley Harris is­ sued a preliminary injunction Nov. 21 against the Department of Education, saying its interpretation of the Buckley Amendment violates the First Amend­ ment rights of student journalists. The federal judge barred the Depart­ ment of Education from withholding fed­ eral funds to schools that release campus crime reports. The injunction means that university officials can no longer rely on the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, commonly called the Buckley Amendment, to deny any student access to campus crime reports. The Buckley Amendment prohibits the release of any student educational records without prior consent of the student It was enacted in 1974. But the Department of Education later expanded its interpretation of that law to include the release of campus crime records, a decision that the federal judge said is wrong. "The right to receive information and ideas is an inherent corollary of the rights of free speech and press that are explicitly guaranteed by the Constitution," Harris wrote in his opinion. "I think this is a great victory for uni­ versity communities as well as the student press,"said Sam Cristy,editor of the Daily Beacon at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, oneof the students who joined the Student Press Law Center in the com­ plaint By granting the injunction, "Judge Har­ ris ruled that this case—making campus crime reports available to the public— was an emergency.... That sends a very strong message across the country that there is no uncertainty that campus crime records are not private records," Cristy said. Cristy said his main goal in joining the lawsuit was to obtain better access to information that should be public record. "We want to have good relations (with campus police), but they've really impeded us in doing our jobs effectively," he said, Mark Goodman, executive director of the SPLC, said the injunction against the Department of Education was temporary, depending on what action the department decides to take. Most likely, he said, the department will allow the injunction to continue until legislation pending in Congress is passed. "Hopefully, it will apply until Congress makes this unnecessary," Goodman said.

App receives largest state allocatio11 ASU News Bureau Appalachian State University will re­ ceive $1,330,000 from the UNC system to renovate its theatre performance facility in Chapell Wilson Hall. The money, the largest single allocation from $12.3 million distributed to system camp­ uses for renovations and repairs, was ap­ proved by the General Assembly during its last legislative session and will be generated through a state bond sale. The renovation project was approved by the Board of Governors Nov. 8. Appalachian willuse themoney toreno­ vate a portion of Chapell Wilson Hall for theatre and dance departmentuse and will repair and renovate the auditorium to ac­ commodate dramatic and musical pro­ ductions. Appalachian first requested funding for the project in 1985. The facility was originally ahigh school gymnasium-auditorium built as a WPA project during the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. College Continued from page 1 Until then, Goodman reminds student journalists that they should have no prob­ lems obtaining campus crime records as a result of the injunction. "We're telling student journalists to visit their campus police tomorrow and ask for the reports they're entitled to," Goodman said. "And if schools continue to deny those reports, we will help the student press take those schools to court." A spokesman for the Department of Education said the department's lawyers and the Justice Department were study­ ing the ruling to decide what action to take. Speaking on a condition of anonymity, the spokesman said the department would continue to work with Congress to get the legislation passed. "We've really worked hard over the years for funding this project," said Chan­ cellor John Thomas. "The drama depart­ ment has really developed over the last few years and has earned prime space on our campus. This renovation will permit our students to showcase their talents in an appropriate way," said Thomas. "We took several legislators through the facility and the condition of the building spoke for itself,"said ViceChan­ cellor for Business Affairs Dr. Ward Zimmerman. Renovation plans, designed by Calloway.

"It's important to remember that the department and the students have the same goals," the spokesman said. Student journalists disagree with that as­ sessment in light of the department's ac­ tions this past year. "Before this (lawsuit) happened, we had a great relationship with the campus police and legal counsel, we had access to records," said Lyn Schrotberger, editorof the Rocky Mountain Collegian at Colo­ rado State University who filed withCristy and the SPLC. "Then the school got a letter from the Departmentof Education," saying the agency would withhold fund­ ing if the school continued torelease crime records. "Everything was OK until the federal government stepped in and messed every­ thing up," Schrotberger said. MEDICAL * LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP 1-800-634-2224 happy holidays from Give A Hoot!

SMITH Appalachian Et Cetera Editor It actually takes a large dose of creativity, to be truly lazy. You don't believe me? I believe that I have mastered and justified my talent And it is talent. On a scale of laziness, I would rate myself at about an eight. I would be a nine, but I don't wear a wits and work /' THE APPALACHIAN THURSDAY, Decembers, 1991 Guatemalan aggressions revealed By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer How would it feel if you worked 16 hours a day, only to make $100 a month? For some women living in Guatemala, this is simply a way of life. On Nov. 25, Rodloph Robles of Guatemala City visited the Catholic Campus Ministry and spoke about the poor conditions of life in Guatemala. Robles has been a peace activist for the past 15 years. Hehas traveledextensively through Europe, Mexico and now the United States carrying his message of peace and the truth about life in Guate­ mala. Robles told his audience that tourism blinds visitors to the peasant lifestyle. Once you "get beyond the Hilton," you learn that out of nine million people living in Guatemala, 70 percent of who are indigenous, most also do not have the luxuries of electricity andrunning water. Most earn a living byfarming. Even with these dreadful living conditions, "the people are humble and good-willed. The government has taken this passivity as a tar­ get," commented Robles. For the past 500 years, Guatemalans have suf­ fered cultural and economic repression. The coun­ try has been under military rule since the late 1800s. This includes government sponsored vio­ lence. Robles said that Guatemalans want peace, but at present this is not possible due to social injustice, much needed land reform and inequities between theextremely rich and the extremely poor. Many governments have held control of Guate­ mala including the most recent government taking power in January of 1991. This domination gives little hope of a resolution. Even more disturbing is the fact that in the first six months of 1991,587 people were killed and 118 disappeared, Robles claimed. It is estimated that in just a little over a decade, more than 150,000 people have either disappeared or been murdered. More than one million have been displaced or exiled due to military supported violence, said Robles. Public massacres have been common since 1930, Robles said. The elite have been exploiting resources, espe­ cially land. The people of Guatemala want peace. Even if there is presently no fighting, it does not mean that Guatemalans are at peace. known. Luckily, this is no longer necessary. Yet even though Coca-Cola employees are better off, others are not as fortunate. The fight for peace continues. The movement for peace is expanding its pro­ gram this month. They are calling for a "revival of all native customs and habits to educate people and teach how to overcome fear and tenor." Hopefully this will put anend to the government propaganda that rages over Guatemalan television, newspapers and media. "If there is peace, and people still live in miser­ able conditions, what kindof peace would that be?" said Robles. The people want action. They are tired of prom­ ises from their government that are never carried out It is not uncommon for the government toorder executions, especially on the heads of unions and peace organizations, said Robles. Robles told of a personal experience he had with the government control. Employed by the CocaCola Bottling Company in Guatemala City, the company had declared bankruptcy with no expla­ nation. He and his co-workers protested by living inside the factory with their families for 13 months. He described working in the plant as being at a military base rather than a place of employment They were protesting against the corrupt heads of the company. Even outsiders got involved in their cause. By joining together, the Coca-Cola workers triumphed. Medical funds and funeral services have since been implemented. Atone time, stickers stating "Don'tdrink CokeIt's Guatemalan blood" were being put on Coke machines (mostly in Europe) to make their cause The Guatemalan government is trying to mask the truth about their people. They are known to murder, kidnap or exile anyone who tries to speak out for the betterment of their living conditions. During this holiday season, we Americans must realize how lucky we are not to live in a country where suchinjustices cannot be controlled. Eightyfive percent of Guatemalan land is controlled by American Companies. "Peace on Earth"will never be a reality as long as the American government continues to support the Guatemalan government asithas since 1954. The United States must discon­ tinue feeding this militaristic rule. Christmas sparks events bathrobe. I'm not talking about the bathrobes that high school students are wearing to school these days. Seriously, I took my brother to school one morning and I innocently asked, "Why are those people wearing bathrobes, Trees, lights, crafts and snow signal Santa Richmond?"

Silly me. Those of you who own bathrobes (we're assuming that people don't actually wear these things more than 50 ft outside of the house) should be ashamed of yourselves. Not the sexy bathrobes, if you can put those to use, then I congratulate you. I'm referring to the warm, snuggly terry cloth bathrobes. These pieces of undeniably comfortable fabrics invite one to lounge all day (preferably a dismal day) in front of a TV with a pack of Marlboro Lights, lighter, TV control, pot of :, pillow, telephone, a piece of paper andapen all within arm's reach. Not disobey­ ing one of the understood rules I abide by, "never remove yourself from a highly comfort­ able position if the object is within arm's reach or there is another heartbeat in the area that can fetch it for you if you ask really sweetly." "Come and watch this with me. Oh, and can you bring the TV control, please?" Why do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? Because I can just envision a fluid of those "nine" Americans not including myself, of course, owning a bathrobe and misusing it. I certainly couldn't be a "10" because I'm not Elvis and hiding out (and only making runs to pocery stores). If Elvis is in hiding, I'm sure he needs to be on the Oprah Winfrey diet plan. What a bum—sitting on his duff all day eating his way to his actual death. College laziness is entirely expected and necessary.

Christopher Columbus retraced in new course By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Students registering for classes may have felt like the class selection looked rather dull and monotonous for spring semester. The English courses all looked familiar, as well as some of the history courses. Beginning in January, a new course will be offered that may alter students' and teachers' views of history. The course is about one of the most well-known explorers, Christopher Columbus, who is credited with discovering the North American continent in 1492. The course is 16 weeks long and is spon­ sored by Appalachian's history department. It will trace the history of Columbus, his voyages and the great impact of European contact with American Indians. "The Voyage of Columbus," will begin Jan. 14, 1992, and will meetTuesday nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in room 223 of Whitener Hall. It is a three hour social science credit for students and a 4.5 hour renewal credit for teachers. The course is offered to students, teachers and members of Appalachian's Institute for Senior Scholars. Only one section is offered, so space is limited. Other people that show an interest in the course may attend lectures on a space-available basis. Lectures about Columbus's search of a new route to the Orient and his arrival in the Bahamas will follow the viewing of the PBS series, "Colum­ bus and the Age of Discovery" in the first half of the semester. This series is part of an international commemoration and consists of seven parts; each one is 55 minutes long. This class will have no specific teacher, but rather a director who organizes the guest speakers that will appear. In the spring the director will be John Williams, while next fall it will be Bettie Bond. The guest speakers will give lectures on Columbus's voyages and the controversies that surround him. If you like to travel, this course may be for you. Two trips are planned during M arch for New York and Washington D.C. Students will visit various museums and exhibits to further their knowledge . of Columbus. One of these exhibits is located in the National Gallery in Washington. The speakers in each class are specialized in various fields. For example, John Bond will dis­ cuss the planting and harvesting of seeds, while DaveWarren will discuss Native Americans. John Williams, the director, will wrap up the course on April 28. This course is $8 for teachers in Region II and $15 for members of the Institute of Senior Schol­ ars. Teachers register by contacting Dr. Pat Knight at 262-3113; Scholar members by calling 2623045. S tudents just sign up for the class when they register.

Visitors from Moscow plan uniting program for campus By JENNIFER FORNARO Appalachian Staff Writer Several Soviet visitors from Moscow spent time at Appalachian State University during the month of November. The visitors are from an organiza­ tion in Moscow called the Movement for Under­ standing and are discussing plans for programs between Appalachian State University and this Soviet group. One of the reasons for the trip to ASU was to discuss the details of bringing Yuli Gusman, the president of the National Center of Filmmakers of Russia, to Appalachian State University as a Scholar-in-Residence for the Department of Fine and Applied Arts. The University has submitted a written scholarship proposal, and should hear the results in the spring. Another major reason behind the visit was to continue negotiations with the Movement for Un­ derstanding for a SovietTraining Programthrough the university. The College of Business, through a joint proposal with the Broyhill Institute of Busi­ ness Development, plans to bring 25 Soviet busi­ ness people to our campus for a month long entre­ preneurial and managerial training program. Dr. Joyce Lawrence, the dean of the graduate school, with the help of Dr. Rick Kirkpatrick, an associate professor of Economics, initiated and coordinated the visits. "Everyone is excited about the plans we are discussing. We are looking forward to making the Soviet Training Program a reality," said Kirkpatrick "These business people have no concept of a free-market economy," said Kirkpatrick. "We would have to start at the very beginning because they have not been exposed to it throughout their lives like Americans have." See VISITORS page 6 Appitcftton Photo by Trey Horock RUSSIAN GUESTS VISIT CAMPUS: In November several business men and women from Moscow toured the campus.

The second CD from the ensemble is in the production phase of recording now. The Appalachian Acoustic Ensemble is made up of artists from different musical backgrounds.Some are classically trained, and some can not read a note of music. "There are classically trained people together with people who play by ear. There is a deep respect for both styles," said Shannon. The idea for the ensemble came from the variety of musicians avail­ able in this area. "Most of us had played together but not as a whole unit," said Shannon. Joe Shannon plays by ear but is learning to read music. Shannon is one of the finest musicians in the area. His technical skill on the dulcimer is only matched by the creative energy he puts into his music. Each song Shannon writes or performs has a story to go with it. "I always have a vision of something," said Shannon. Shannon is always striv­ ing to convey his vision of the music to the audi­ ence through these stories. Shannon plays both types of dulcimers, the Appalachian and the hammer dulcimer. "The Appalachian dulcimer sits on your lap; it has three strings. It has a light sweet sound and has a German origin," said Shannon. "The hammered dulcimer is well known around the world and less known in the United States. It goes back to the days of the Old Testa­ ment. It was a forerunner to the piano." "There has been a big revival in the past 15 years of dulcimerplay­ ing," said Shannon. "Warmlight" features various instruments including the Appalachian dulcimer, hammer­ ed dulcimer, oboe, flute, guitar, fiddle, viola, bass, cello, harmonica, classical guitar and hand bells. J The musicians on the CD are all local artists including ASU faculty. The members of the en­ semble playing Friday will include Joe Shannon, Dave Gaston, Susan Brashier, Witold Kosmali Rachel Nelson, Cecil Gurganus and Tom Pace. J » The group will be playing many selections from "Warmlight" as well as many seasonal tunes. . Shannon is also a writer of plays and poetry. Hw play "Eagle Feather" was produced at Horn in the West. * Joe Shannon and the Appalachian Acoustit Ensemble will be performing traditional Appal* chian music in The Pub on Friday.

Comic Strip features Gallagher's funny brother J By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor • 4 ' COMIC STRIP BRINGS GALLAGHER H TO LEGENDS: No, it's not Gallagher but Gallagher II.

Tickets are $3. There will be many entertainment choices this weekend in Boone. If you're looking for good bands or quality comedy, Boone is the place to be. The Comic Strip returns again this month for one more night filled with laughs and entertain­ ment This month features Gallagher II. Tonight you can catch the hilarious routines of this comic as well as comedian Brad Carver. Tickets are $3 and the show will be in Legends. When you hear the name Gallagher images of pQjije to mind. Y ou picture that fame with the moustache. Gallagher II looks just like Gallagher. Gallagher II is in fact Ron Gallagher, the not so famous younger brother of the Prince of Props himself. Ron had opened a number of Gallagher Shows by walking out on stage to the applause of a cheering audiece only to have his brother enter the stage from another area. From that point on the crowd never really knows what to expect. "Gallagher is one of the most creative comics around today," said student Colin Gooder. "He is really in touch with the college crowd." Looks alone are not the only thing this wacky sibling has in common with his brother. He has often fooled large crowds with his stag^ impersonation by using someof his brothers mate-^ rial mixed in his own act. From a battered foot locker on stage, he is likely to pull out any number of stage props and horned made contraptions including the Gallagher trade-" mark Sledge-O-Matic. With the Sledge-O-Matic he pulverizes every­ thing in sight from apples to watermelons. Comedian Brad Carver will open the show.

A Madrigal Feast with wenches and jesters By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor The ASU School of Music will present Ye Olde Madrigal Christmas Feaste in the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center from Dec. 5-8. The evening will feature dance, song, drama and fine food. Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste, a highlight of the Christmas season in Boone, will be presented for the 13th consecutive yearby the Appalachian State University Chamber Singers during Appalachian Christmas. Madrigal dinners are fixtures in many religious, educational and civic institutions as a means of combining dance,music, drama and entertainment with a meal in a setting reminiscent of another time. The time is frequently Elizabethan England, but it could be Renaissance Italy or Colonial America. In Elizabethan England, gentlemen learned proper manners from reading courtesy books. An­ other essential part of their social education was understanding music and poetry. Musically, the young men were expected to be proficient in sing­ ing and playing an instrument. Henry VD3 even refined his singing and musical skills. Partsongs of the day, known as madrigals, were often sung ina casual, relaxed atmosphere at home, around the meal table or as evening entertainment. Musical evenings, known as revels, featured courtly entertainment that included masques. dances, music and plays. These revels frequently occurred at Inns of Court, which were law schools where men also learned the gentlemanly art. In essence, these events offered students at the inn opportunities to practice social behaviors ex­ pected of gentlemen. All the diverse ingredients of the masque: drama, poetry, music and dance con­ tributed to the education of students aspiring to be courtiers. The revels were the early harbingers of today's madrigal feaste. This year, the Madrigal Feaste will be set in Elizabethan England with Ye Hoste and Hostess, Lord Robert Dudley and Lady Elizabeth Dudley. There will also be wenches, pages and acourt jester for added entertainment. Distinguished brass and recorder consorts will render performances and accompany the Chamber singers with ensemble and solo selections com­ posed by English Masters. The feast is catered by the Broyhill Inn. The menu has traditionally included such items as wassial bolle, barleye soup, salade verte tudor, roast beefe with Yorkshyre puddyng, candeyed sweete yams, greene benes almonde, rounde of rye, hot scones, prune cayke with rum sause and a boar's head. The Feaste will be held nightly Dec. 5-8 in the Commons of the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center. The cost is $25 for adults and $12 for children. For more information call 262-2204. "Beauty and the Beast," told with a Disney twist By JIM FANNING Special to the Appalachian "Beauty and the Beast," Walt Disney Pictures' 30th full-length animated feature, brings to life the age-old fairy tale of the hideous Beast who must win the love of the fair Beauty. "It's perhaps one of the last of the red-hot fairy tales," said Producer Don Hahn. "It existed in the verbal culture of storytelling long before it was ever written down." The "Beauty and the Beast" story was first written down in 1550 by Giovan Straparalo; later versions, including two by Madam Le Prince De Beaumont and Madame Gabriele de Villenuve, come to us from tales of the French courts of the 1700s. "Part of the fun," he said, "is that each genera­ tion and culture adapts this powerful story to be its m." As with every animated feature, the Disney team has conjured up a large cast of unforgettable characters. Top billed is Beauty herself. Belle, the latest in a long line of Disney heroines. "It was achallenge tomake her differentfrom all the others," said Gary Trousdale who, along with Kirk Wise, directed Beauty and the Beast. "We especially wanted her to be different visually, not just the same character with different hair." "We wanted Belle to be much more than a damsel-in-distress," said Trousdale. "She's a go-getter," adds Baxter. "She's an instigator of the action...She doesn't just sit back and let things happen to her." Broadway actress Paige O'Hara gives Belle her lilting voice. Sherri Stoner, the actress who posed in live-action reference film for Ariel in "The Little Mermaid" acted out the role of Belle in reference footage for the Beauty animators. "We told Sherri we didn't want the same kind of mannerisms that Ariel had, so she gave us a differ­ ent characterization," said Baxter. Belle's co-star, the Beast, isa completely unique Disney character. "The Beast is the strongest, most complex male character we've had in a Disney movie in a long time," said Wise. "Emotionally, the character has to go through a great deal of change. He goes from being a selfish, beastly character to being someone who even underneath all that fur is very loving and generous. That's a long journey for him." Through the centuries, the Beast has been por­ trayed in many ways by many artists.

Decembers. 1991 coupon • coupon • coupon • coupon . C O U p o c o a Beauty 3 O Campus Paperback Bestsellers Continued from page 7 element of the tale's mystic power was left to Supervising Animator Glen Keane. Keane said, "With the Beast you have this enormous sense of animal power and size. At the same time he develops gentle, tender emotions, and you're taking a lot of emotions that we did with Ariel and put­ ting them into this beast-like body." " Movie actor Robby Benson gives gruff but expressive voice to the Beast's full range of emotions. "Beauty and the Beast" boasts a unique villain—an entertainingly unlikable cad whose selfish outlook ultimately goes over the top. "Gaston is the only male chauvinist character ever in Disney animation," said Supervising Animator Andrea Deja. "We're trying to break new ground, mak­ ing him a male character who is realistic and handsome and also a good character actor. At first you wouldn't think he's a villain, but as the plot develops and Belle rejects him, he gets so outraged he be­ comes capable of killing." In a twist unique to Disney features, "Beauty and the Beast's" supporting cast is made up of some very animate objects. When the selfish prince is put under the spell that changes him into the Beast, his servants are transformed at the same time into household objects. The candelabra is the head butler, the clock is the majordomo, and the teapot is the cook. As with every Disney fairy tale ffom "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) to "The Little Mermaid" (1989), songs are a vital ingredient in casting the magic spell of storytelling. Although not originally intended as a musical, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the Academy Award-winning songwriting team from "The Little Mermaid" were eventually brought on to develop a new approach to the story. Ashman and Menken have also con­ tributed their magical brush to thenow-inproduction Disney feature "Aladdin," slated for release at Christmas 1992. It will mark Howard Ashman's last contri­ bution to Disney animation, for he died earlier this year. with this coupon c o 2 You Just Don't Understand, by Deborah Tamer.

Trailing 7-3 at the start of the fourth quarter, the Mountaineers had a chance to take the lead by driving down to the Colo­ nel 1-yard line. On fourth-and-1 junior fullback J.K. Reaves tried to dive over the top of the Eastern Kentucky defensive line, but was pinned back by the Colonels, who then took over on downs. "We had agolden opportunity to score," ASU Head Coach Jerry Moore said. "I'm hot going to sit here and second-guess our play calls. I'd go out there now and do it over. You can second-guess yourself to death."

Campbell said. "They *IjB first round pf°ff loss. just did an excellent job of getting the linebackers over the top to stop him. It's pretty disappointing because in the end it really hurt us." "When we had them on third-and-goal from the 2, we were in our 'heads' de­ fense. We thought they would spread it out," Eastern Kentucky Head Coach Roy Kidd explained. "Then we stopped them on fourthdown. That was one of the plays that turned the momentum." Appalachian came away empty on the drive despite grinding out 79 yards on 20 plays. The drive chewed up nearly eight minutes of clock. The Mountaineers had another chance to go ahead later in the quarter, after a poor punt by EKU's Bryan Barrett gave the Apps the ball on their own 45-yard line. On the second play of the drive, quarter­ back D.J. Campbell pitched the ball to freshman tailback Chip Hooks. But the wet pigskin squirted out of the ffosh's hands, and Colonel nose guard Ernest Thompson made therecovery on the Eastem 48. "The big play in the game was the fumble on the option and their ability to take it down and score," Moore com­ mented. "Any time you make a great play on defense, it helps the offense, and it also gives the defense momentum for the next time we come out," Thompson said. Eastern Kentucky then took the air out of the ASU sails with a seven-play, 52yard scoring drive. Senior fullback Tim Lester carried the final four plays of the drive, including a 3-yard TD run around the left side that gave the Colonels a 14-3 cushion with just under eight minutes to play. ASU never seriously threatened the rest of the game, and the Colonels held on for the 14-3 triumph. "Obviously, it was a terrific college football game," Moore said. 'Two good teams played under tough conditions. There weren't very many mistakes. It was just a hard-fought, tough football game. "Both teams had opportunities in the game," Moore continued. "We're disap­ pointed to lose. We gave ourselves a chance to win, but we just couldn't take advan­ tage of it." "I tell you, we beat a good football team today," said Kidd, the second wiimingest active coach in college football. "It was a great team win." The Mountaineers, making their third playoff appearance in the past five sea­ sons, got off to a fast start in the contest. Appalachian took the opening kickoff and marched 75 yards to the Colonel 5-yard line, where the drive stalled. Junior kicker Jay Millson then came on and booted a 22yard field goal, which gave the Apps a 30 lead. The Mountaineer defense stifled Eastem Kentuckythroughout the opening quar­ ter, but the Colonels capitalized on an ASU breakdown to take a 7-3 lead in the second quarter. On the Colonels' third play of the quar­ ter, junior tailback Mark us Thomas ex­ ploded around the right side of the Moun­ taineer defense for a 72-yard touchdown gallop. "I just swung to the right as soon as I got the ball," Thomas said.

ASU managed to trim the lead down to nine with 16:41 left to play when Billy Ross worked his way free for a 10-foot jumper. Ross was fouled on the shot and converted the three-point play to cut the lead to 42-33. That would be as close as Appalachian would get to UNCC the remainder of the game, however, as the 49'ers repeatedly burned the inside defense of ASU for easy baskets. All 16 of Charlotte's second-half field goals were scored in the paint, as guards Henry Williams and James Terrell were able to penetrate and set the UNCC post players up with easy scoring opportu­ nities. The biggest frustration for Apke came at the offensive end of the floor, however. The Apps shot just 40 percent from the floor for the game, and forward Steve Spurlock netted just five points. Spurlock entered the game averaging 23 points per game. ASU managed just 11 points in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and was held scoreless over a two-minute stretch thatsaw UNCC score sevenstraight points and balloon a 10-point lead into a 54-37 margin that effectively put the game away with 12:01 remaining. "Our inability to run our offense at the beginning of the second half was the dif­ ference in the game, and that frustrates me a great deal," Apke said."I thought we did OK defensively for a while, but our offen­ sive frustration eventually got us frus­ trated at the defensive end too. "We had a number of unforced errors that really hurt us. That's an area where we can improve and hopefully will." ASU finished with 19 turnovers on the evening. The 49'ers were able to get top-notch performances from junior forward Malru Dottin and sophomore center Rodney Odom, both of whom were counted on to provide more than their usual share due to the absence of Jarvis Lang, UNCC's tal­ ented sophomore forward and last year's national freshman-of-the-year. Lang suf­ fered a broken wrist against Long Beach State last week and did not even make the trip to Boone Monday night. In his absence, Dottin scored 10 points and pulled down five rebounds while Odom scored 12 points and claimed seven rebounds. Dottin entered the game aver­ aging just two points per contest. "I'm pleased with the way our kids responded to the loss of Jarvis," UNCC Head Coach Jeff Mullins said. "We have a lot of respect for ASU. They've been tough forus in the past.They do a good job against us, and it is always a big game for them. They work hard to play well against us." The win was just the second in seven tries for Mullins against the Mountain­ eers. Tim Powers led ASU with 19 points and 16 rebounds, but committed a gamehigh five turnovers. Billy Ross scored 12 on 5-of-15 shooting, while Rodney Peel chipped in 11 points, two assists and two steals. Williams and Terrell scored 16 points apiece to lead the 49'ers, now 2-1.

His team had a 27- 7 record and ended up third in the state. Head CoachTom Apke feels that the 6'2" point guard is an excellent player and student and that he will be a good addition to the 1992-93 Mountaineer squad. "With Rodney Peel being a senior this year, we felt it was a top priority to sign a point guard early," Apke said. The ASU women's team landed four highly touted players. In fact, Head Coach Linda Robinson labels them "four of the finest recruits anyone had." Angie Crosby, a 6'1" forward out of Anderson, S.C. is expected to make a serious impact on ASU's frontcourt. Crosby attended high school at T. L. Hannan in Anderson, having a spectacu­ lar three years. The power forward aver­ aged 22 points and 12.7 rebounds per game in her senior season. As a freshman at Anderson Junior Col­ lege, Crosby was an All-Region 10 selec­ tion, averaging 18.0 points and 12.3 re­ bounds per game. "Along with being a fantastic young person with tremendous maturity, Angie possesses all the tools to walk in here and help take the Lady Mountaineers to the next level of play we are pushing for (NCAA)," Robinson said. One of the early signees for the Lady Mountaineers wasShannon Spencer from Newton-Conover HighSchool. Spencer's basketball honors included conference player of the year, Piedmont Basketball player of the year and also being a mem­ ber of an AAU National Championship team in 1988 and 1990. The 5'5" point guard had a stellar junior year in high school, averaging 19.0 points, 6.1 re­ bounds, five assists and five steals per game. Robinson commented, "Shannon pos­ sesses the ingredients we need to run the point at Appalachian. She plays the game with tremendous intensity and takes pride in leading the team by doing whatever it takes to get the job done." Another new guard for Appalachian next year will be Leigh Jones of West Wilkes in Millers Creek. This 5'6"guard was all-conference in basketball, volley­ ball and track at West Wilkes. Jones averaged 20.0 points and six assists per game during her junior season. Jones was also a player of the year selection and a member of the Winston-Salem Journal's All-Northwest team. Coming out of Erwin High School in Asheville is 6'2" center Amber Burgess. As a junior, she blocked 97 shots, a school record. Burgess was a basketball allconference player, and Robinson believes that Burgess was a player that many schools overlooked. "Amber may be a sleeper - she did notplay much her sopho­ more year or early in her junior year, but she really began to blossom last Febru­ ary," Robinson said.

The Appalachian State women's bas­ ketball squad improved itsrecord to2-2 as it defeated Radford at home on Nov. 26 before traveling to Harrisonburg, Va. and competing in the James Madison Nielson Tournament, rolling past the College of Charleston and falling to James Madison last weekend. The Lady Mountaineers, led by Shan­ non Thomas, Penny Robersonand Regina Ikard, defeated the Lady Highlanders of Radford 88-74 in a Varsity Gym contest. "This was an excellent win for us going into the James Madison tournament. We played a sharp and intense game that en­ abled us to beat a very good ball club," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. The first half wasa "nip and tuck"game according to Robinson as the Lady Apps found themselves tied with Radford at the half 42-42 before Thomas and Roberson took charge in the second half. Thomas and Roberson led the Lady Apps in scoring with 22 points apiece. Thomas also led the team with 13 re­ bounds. Ikard, who set a school record with a 10-for-10 shooting performance, chalked up 21 points for ASU. The Lady Apps went on to compete in the JMU-Nielson Tournament opening with a victory over theCollege of Charles­ ton, 82-54, on Nov. 29. "We put forth a tremendous team ef­ fort, and our focus was great. I was very proud of the way our girls played," Robinson said. The Lady Apps exploded into the game and took a big lead at the half over the Lady Cougars, 44-23, despite an injury to Thomas near the end of the half. Thomas wentdown with an ankle sprain and a quad strain in her knee. Currently undergoing treatment, Thomas is recov­ ering positively, and Robinson hopes to have her back in practice around the end of this week. "It was a veTy emotional experience for the entire team when Shannon went down. For the senior leader to fall in such a hard fashion...it is just terrible,"Robinson said. "I have never seen a student-athlete come back as successfully after going down as she has, and when it happened we were all in a momentary shock. When we went back out onto the floor, we were vulner­ able for a couple of minutes because we were so stunned, but I could not be more pleased at how the girls fought back to win the game," Robinson said. Roberson dominated for the Lady Mountaineers scoring a JMU tournament record 33 points, 23 in the first half. "She (Roberson) played possessed. She took charge for us at the scoring angle andreallycamethrough,"Robinson said. "I was really impressed with the effort of all of the players in this game. Every­ one did something to contribute to the win," Robinson said. The Lady Apps went on to fall in the finals of the tournament to James Madi­ son, 84-58. "They beat us rather handily. At first, it was a nip and tuck game, and then thendepth took charge. It was our first game playing without Shannon, and that played somewhat toour disadvantage, and James Madison played the game of their life," Robinson said. Robinson pointed to several key fac­ tors in the outcome of the game. "We had a record high31 turnovers; we played very shaky and threw the ball away too many times. We let them score too many pointsoff rebounds;we simply could not contain them. They were so explosive and feature such tremendous talent," Robinson said. Lynch led the Lady Mountaineers with 18 points but was guilty of six turnovers while Ikard added 12 points for the ASU effort. The Lady Mountaineers will travel to ACC powerhouse Clemson on Dec. 7 before competing inthe Golden Bear Clas­ sic at the California State-Berkeley Dec 20-21. �UL The Appalachian. Thursday.

Thomas was die offensive standout of the day, rushing for 185 yards on the muddy turf, before leaving the game with a bruised shoulder in the fourth quarter. Lester added 90 yards on 18 carries for Eastern Kentucky, which as a team rushed for 280 yards on the day. Appalachian could average only 2.5 yards a crack on the ground against the stingy Colonel defense, gaining just 110 yards on 44 carries. Hooks was the high ground-gainer for the Mountaineers, with ASU Continued from page 9 The Lady Mountaineers' first match will be against William and Mary College at9 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5. Other teams in ASU's pool include Northern Illinois, Villanova and Santa Clara. Head Coach Traci McGee described the tournament schedule as"mentally and physically challenging," saying her ath­ letes could be on the court four to five hours each of the first two days of the toumey. "Since the Southern Conference Tour­ nament, we've doubled our conditioning in preparation for the NIVC," McGee revealed. "Our players have responded very well to the challenge. I think that much of their enthusiasm comes from the realization that they are one of 52 volley­ ball teams in the country that are still alive." McGee sighted three keys to Moun­ taineer success in the NIVC. "We're try­ ing toadvanceouroffenseby usingquicker plays to outside hitters," McGee said. "That all revolves around our new setter, 55 yards on21 carries.Campbell followed with 39 yards on 14attempts, while Reaves rushed seven times for 19 yards. Neither team could establish an effec­ tive passing attack on the afternoon. Campbell completed 10of24 attempts for 88 yards on the day and was sacked twice. EKU quarterback Joey Crenshaw con­ nected on six of 11 offerings for only 40 yards. He was also picked off once by Mountaineer senior cornerback Mark Mayo. The interception was Mayo's sixth of the year, tops on the squad. The Mountaineers finish the season with an 8-4 record and a Southern Conference championship, their first league title since 1987. Rachel Wade, and she's really coming into her own." Another key for Appalachian will be the leadership of senior Sabrina Hill. "Sabrina has been to regional and na­ tional competition in track, and that expe­ rience is a definite advantage for her," McGee explained. "I think the team will be looking to Sabrina for leadership, and I believe she'll provide it I haven't seen Sabrina try this hard to make a difference in practice since she's been at ASU, and it's really good to see her lead by ex­ ample." McGee thinks her team will be very focused on improvement and fundamen­ tals. "My main goal is for the team to play better than they have the entire season," McGee commented. "The girls are going to see another realm of the sport, and I think that will enlighten and motivate theircapabilities. They really wantto make a good impression about the SC. We're going to do everything we can to win games, hopefully matches and maybe the tournament." J L.

Now,the problem may be taking iP for the better. Afederal judge issued an injunction on Nov. 21 that prohibits the DepartBnt of Education from withholding federal funds to schools that release •pus crime reports. Before the decision, the Department of Education cut offfunding to schools who released such reports, stating that disclosure of the .lime information violated the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, letter known as the Buckley Amendment. The 1974 Amendment prohibits dools from releasing any student educational records without the consent if the student. Hie Department of Education said campus crime reports fell under the (lifelines of the Buckley Amendment. U.S. District Judge Stanley Harris sail this is incorrect The decision is a major victory for student newspapers, such as The fplachian, whose staff members fdef the studentijri&Jfhasti right to know feoutcririiinal acts occurring on the campus. Withholdingsuch crime records fates the First Amendment rights of student journalists. The ruling came after the Student Press Law Center, working with such lege newspapers as the Daily Beacon at the University of Tennessee at looxville, filed suit. College newspapers, like The Appalachian, just want to do their jobs as fotively as possible. Part of that job is to report the happenings on campus, wen if those happenings shed negative light on the university community, •dents have the right to know what is occurring on their campus. They Buld know of criminal acts in order to take precautions to see that such acts minimal in the future. TheNov. 21 decision was a major step, but other steps must follow, as the junction was just a temporary measure against the Department of Educa­ te Currently, two bills that would change the Buckley Amendment are to considered by a House-Senate conference comm ittee.

By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Twenty shopping days until Christmas. Lights and decorations are up everywhere—on campus in residence halls, the student union, food service facilities, and off campus in churches, shops and restaurants. Christmas specials are on television, and Christmas tapes are selling quickly in the stores and through mail-order catalogues. The Christmas spirit is definitely in the air. But during the next week, a small interruption may throw a little cold water on students' holiday excite­ ment—for both students and faculty, the beginning of the Christmas season also means the beginning of exam season. And the beginning of exam season often means stress. Stress can easily put a damper on a person's holiday spirit. But it doesn't have to. Unfortunately at this time in the semester it's very difficult to avoid stress completely, but there are ways to deal with exam stress and, therefore, make this next week a little more exciting. One way to eliminate some stress is to try to get enough sleep. It isn't an easy thing to do with studying for exam after exam. But if you can manage to get at least eight hours a night (some people need alittle more, somecan get by with less), you will not only feel better and be easier to get along with, but you will also have an easier time studying for those three exams you have tomorrow. After getting enough sleep, you will have an easier time taking the exams, too, and will probably make better grades. You may actually profit more grade wise from sacrificing an hour of studying and going to bed an hour earlier. Another way to survive exam seasonis to try to eat well. This also may be difficult at the end of the semester when on-campus students are out of money on their mealcards, and off-campus students have low bank balances due to expenses from Christmas shopping. Also, it ismuch easier to grab a bag of potato chips and a giant glass of Pepsi and sit down with the books than it is to have to cook a whole meal. However, a well-nourished body can produce more energy—which means you will probably feel better, be able toget by onless sleep and thenbe able to study longer. It will also take you less time to absorb what you are studying. When it is cold and rainy outside, putting on a warm bathrobe and fuzzy slippers and curling up under ablanket with the books and a big cup of hot chocolate is very appealing. Doing this is probably the best thing about exam season. But one word of caution: if you study this way, make sure you have at least a smidgeon of interest in what you're studying and make sure you have had more than five hours of sleep the night before. Curling up under a blanket with a textbook more boring than the instruction manual for a computerized washing machine is perfect medicine for insomniacs, but can be harmful to someone who needs to learn material for an exam. Studying in a dorm room or apartment presents prob­ lems to people who are easily distracted by television, radio or telephone. However, everyone should study in the place wherehe/she learns best, be it in the library in a study carrel, in the Skylight Lounge on a couch, in the Food Court at a table with twenty zillion people around, or in a dorm room or apartment curled up in bed. The library has an excellent atmosphere for studying, but it may present the opposite problem that studying in a dorm room or apartment does—too little distraction. If quiet makes you go to sleep, don't study in the library. If you study best to music, study to music. But you may want to consider using headphones if you like it loud, especially if you live in a residence hall, in which 23-hour quiet hours start Saturday. Wherever you study, don't study when you're hungry. That's a distraction you don't need. Go ahead and eat as much as you want before you start a cram session, and eat while you're studying if that helps you think. However, you might want to avoid eating things like potato chips and cookies—extra poundage is hard enough to avoid during the holidays as it is. Another way to alleviate stress is to avoid cramming if you possibly can. You learn more if you try to study and absorb material in small portions instead of in one big chunk. Starting studying a few days in advance and then mostly reviewing the night before the exam may makfc learning the material a little easier (and you'll also avoid making yourself crazy from looking at the same thing for eight straight hours). Of course we all know it's some-; times absolutely impossible to avoid a last-minute cram' session. But managing time so that last-minute crammingis avoided as much as possible is helpful in reducing the! stress thatcomes from hav ing anincomprehensible amount; of material to learn in one night. Also, no matter how much you have to do, allow! yourself a few breaks, even if it's just long enough to go! to the vending machine and get a drink. This gives you a J chance to breathe and, for five minutes, think about' • something besides what you have to know for the exam. • In addition to these short breaks from study time, allow at! least one hour a day for yourself in which you don't study \ and you do something you like to do; exercise, watch' television, listen to music, take a nap or whatever, but» you'll have a chance to rest and clear your head. Even if> you lost this hour of study time, the time you do spend! studying will be more productive. Exam stress is hitting hard, cutting into students' holi-; day seasons. However, during these next two weeks we can keep our stress levels relatively low by eating well,! getting enough sleep, studying where, when and how we! study best, and remembering to take breaks and time for; ourselves. Even with exam on top of exam we can still keep the Christmas spirit. After all, in less than two weeks • it will all be over, are the most stimulating mental activity ! we'll have to engage ourselves in will be deciding which ! present we want to open first or which color of lights look ; best on a Christmas tree.

A day without its presence is rare, A lifetime without is unthinkable, Unbearable. It's all around us In different forms And it always holds unique meaning. Always indefinite. We take it for granted And rely on its strength. We weep at its absence And forgive its mistakes. We let it surround us Students have the right to timely, accurate information about campus And envelop our soulstoe. Such information should not be in sealed files but should be available All the while ignorant to its meaning. "lie college as well as professional press.

F December 5, 1991 terpreted. It enters our lives And fills us with joy. Then exits dramatically Leaving Time to be its maid. Is it really so thoughtless? Or merely uncontrolled? — What's the difference? It takes hold of the heart And leaves the brain defenselessOften to the point of bliss. We dream about it, we pray for itWhen we find it, we curse it. But what happens when the dreamer awakes too soon? The prayer remains unanswered? Or the seeked evades the seeker? Do the curses stop or smother? Do we push forth and ignore it Or does love really make the world go 'round? It's not a new topic or a current event; it's been around since the beginning of time, and it will always be here. Love. We hear the word a thousand times a day, we use it to refer to a thousand different things, but what does it mean? Poets try to express it with elaborate language, painters try to show it with colors and authors try to explain it through a story. Have any of them really figured it out? Do we think that we have figured it out whenever we read their poems or ad­ mire their paintings or interpret their sto­ ries? Do we really need to figure it out? We love our dog, we love a sweater, we love the weather, our parents, our friends and our boyfriends or girlfriends. The list is endless. We consider them all different loves but are they really? Of course you don't love your parents the same way you love your boyfriendor girlfriend, but does that mean you love either of them any less? And does it seem logical to use the same word to explain your feelings about your boyfriend or girlfriend to also ex­ press how you feel about a movie you just saw? Is anything about love logical? In my opinion, no one will ever find the true meaning of love. Love is a feeling, an indescribable emotion. We all feel it on different levels for different things. Some people think they will never find it, not knowing it's staring them in the face. Others think they found it and place their whole lives in its hands only to find that it was a facade. I guess what I'm really trying to say is that we tend to abuse the word love. Not only do we use it far too often, using it to refer to things we know we don't truly love, but we also put too much emphasis on it. We go through life thinking that we have to fall in love, that if we don't feel love there is something wrong with us. Wei spend so much time worrying about the absence or intensity of love that we can't enjoy it when we have it. Go through life following your dreams! achieve your goals, live for yourself. If • along the line you discover what love-. means to you and you find the person who ; embodies that meaning, then hold on to ; him or her but don't be blinded. Don't let! love take away your own identity and become your only focus. Love is a won-; derful emotion, but when you let it dictate your life it can be your tragic flaw. •• • Love is supposed to be romantic; no one; wants to have to analyze it, but since it is; open to so many interpretations and has the capability to cause so much chaos, it. should be looked at carefully. No matter! how strongly you feel or how sure you;. think you are about something, never ac-; cept things at face value. Questions and | doubts are what help us separate the truth!; from what we only thought was true. Ex-!1 amining love does not make it any less; • romantic, it merely gives us a chance to;! stay away if it's not real or to savor it when-; it is real. •' Rules made for safety, not to ruin fun Employees defend Legends rules To the Editor: This letter concerns Lisa Gallulo's letter in the Nov. 5 edition of The Appalachian. We work at Legends and we found her letter to be misleading and uninformed as to the events at Legends • during the Johnny Quest show. Her letter confused many different issues and used our manager as a target for her displeasure — which we found uncalled for. The first mistake in her letter was the barrier. It was not flimsily constructed nor was it an attempt to control slam dancing. It was there to inhibit people from stage diving. The second problem with her letter was that she said Randy (Kelly) had an "absurd scheme to control a crowd that was not even out of control...." This statement seemed to us to be ridiculous because in her second paragraph, she says that the barrier broke, and she was almost crushed between the boards by the crowd! If the crowd was able to break the barrier, to us that seems as though it was out of control. Another problem in her letter was that she tried to portray Randy Kelly as incompetent. He is not, and he knew better than anyone how to conduct a Johnny Quest show because he's booked the band before at Legends, and he's dealt with the crowd. The entire staff knew that at this show there was going to be a lot of energy. No one on the staff wanted to ruin anyone's good time. But sometimes energy has to be contained in order to keep everyone safe. That is the first priority. Lisa's letter was essentially arguing for certain audience members to behave however they wished. She says that people who come to a Johnny Quest show know what to expect and if people don't like the atmosphere then they should stay home. What she fails to recognize is that there are audience members who don't want to be slammed into or dived on, and they also, should be able to enjoy the band's music live. Finally, Lisa is the one who should "get with the times." If ASU wasn't, the bands like Johnny Quest wouldn't play here. The first time an audience at any show decides to get out of control and someone is hurt, then it costs everyone the right to see them in the future.

In fact, the police depart­ ment hires students to write tickets while the ASU police force performs police duties. Before judging the ASU police, everyone should know about the many services that they provide. Since last year, the number of blue light telephones on campus has been upgraded from nine to 19. Closed circuit televisions have already been installed in three parking areas, with plans to extend this program to all parking areas. This program frees up •! officers from the duty of parking lot -; patrol and allows them to patrol the !' campus each night. ASU police also perform services ;! above and beyond those of security. ••! They provide indispensable services of convenience free of charge to ASU students. These services include everything from unlocking car doors •* and emergency rides for the handi« capped, to loaning jumper cables to stranded motorists. Aside from their duties of security \ and services of conveniences, the mere ' presence of the ASU police is their mostvaluable contribution to security, although this is most often taken for ', granted. The next time you see an officer "not doing anything," be thankful that ASU is a safe campus. An • officer with nothing to do is not lazy, ! but rather successful. ASU police is not only staff and personnel; it is jvery light, every monitor, every call box and every lock that makes ASU a safe campus. Lori Barnes Chris Brady Steve Hudson Krista Pialet �!

Due to the severity of the conditions, it may be necessary for some staff employees to miss work completely Staff employees may use vacation leave, compensatory leave or leave-without-pay (after vacation leave has be exhausted) for time missed due to adverse weather conditions. There may also be an opportunity for this time to be made up. Any made-up time which results in an overtime situation (more than 40 hours a week) is subject to overtime compensation in the form of payment of time off. It is necessary that make-up time be limited to the work-week in which the time is lost or in a week when the staff employee has not worked a full work schedule due to such absences as vacation leave, sick leave, etc. Make-up time which results in an overtime situation is discouraged. If it is necessary for the University to be closed due to weather conditions, any time missed by employees should be treated as outlined above.

Under the current policy, students who jieless than eight hours do not pay any rfjon of student fees, but they do have pes to ASU services that operate enply or partially on student fees. This proposal is part of the student fee package that will beconsidered at the next Board of Trustees meeting in December. If the new policy is approved, student fees will beprorated intothirds, according to Bob Feid, assistant vice chancellor for student development. Students takingzero to five hours will pay one third of the student fees, students taking six to eight hours will pay two thirds of the students fees and students taking nine hours or more will pay full student fees. "Some students will be paying less under the new system and some students will be paying more," said Feid. "For example, students who are now taking eight hours pay full student fees, but if the proposal is approved, they will pay less, only two thirds of the fees." The only service that will not be pro­ rated is ASU Health Services. Part-time students whowish to use the student health service will be required to pay the entire health service fee. If the proposed student fee increases are approved, the health service fee will be $51.50 for full-time and part-time students per semester. According to Feid, ASU is the only school in the University of North C arolina system that does not prorate their fees. "The system ASU has proposed is very similar to the system at North Carolina State University," said Feid. "Other schools go up in increments. For example, at Western Carolina University, if you take one hour you pay eight percent of student fees, if you take two hours you pay 16 percent, and so on." According to Feid, students attending the UNC at Chapel Hill are required to pay full fees by taking only one hour. Because many students will be paying more money in fees, prorating student fees will cause an increase in revenue for the school, according to Feid. "We don't know how much revenue this will produce yet, so the fee increases will not be factored in for the 1992-1993 school year," said Feid. "Any increase in revenue generated by this process will then be factored into any future increases. If we bring in additional revenue, maybe we won't have to increase fees as much in future years."

"It's (bulimia) a control issue. Food is another area to have control over. You can't bear to see yourself as a failure and since people accept you on the basis of a physical image, you want to please them," Angie said. Long-term anorexia, bulimia or other eating disorders can cause death or per­ manent damage, Jones said. Angie said that she lost her menstrual cycle for an entire year. Angie's bulimia got to the point that she no longer had to regurgitate. As soon as she ate, the food would automatically come back up. She said that doctors told her that 87 percent of people with her advanced state of bulimia die. Trish Peters, resident director of White Residence Hall, said eating disorders are the most recurrent problem she has heard about through the resident assis­ tants. Due to the number of students with eating disorders, all resident assistants in White, Howie, Doughton and Cannon Residence Halls attended a workshop this semester to educate them about eating disorders. "I think it (an eating disorder) is really big. I don't know if calling it an epidemic is stretching it, but I know of a least a couple dozen in White this year," Peters said. See EATING page 2 Appalread helps literacy By TRACEY COFFRON Appalachian Staff Writer With the addition of Appalread to the curriculum, Appalachian State Univer­ sity can now offer more than just college diplomas. Appalread was created by the univer­ sity to offer a number of educational op­ portunities for permanent, full-time Ap­ palachian employees. The new system will give employees the chance to brush up on their basic reading or math skills, work toward their high school or equiva­ lency diplomas or take one tuition-free college course per semester. "The Appalread program was designed to combine all the educational oppor­ tunities for employees into one program. Wherever the employees are aca­ demically, we want to help them meet their needs," said Susie Beasley of Appalachian's personnel office.

He has heard the reasons that the manage­ ment has expressed forsome of their recy­ cling problems, but he does not believe that they are good ones. "They aren't recycling anything," he said, "everything is thrown right into the dumpster." Kelly said he is very upset that such allegations would be brought ag ains t Legends. "All cans are always recycled," he stated. "The problem," he continued, "is with the bottles." Kelly said he understands where a mis­ conception of their recycling practices might take place. He explained that in order for a glass recycling program to be successful in Legends, three glass bins, one for each color of glass, would have to be placed in many areas of the building, because that plant does not have the capa­ bility of doing so either. and the space is just not available. Jim Rice, director of the physical plant, Therefore, only one bin for all glass is presently in place for the sole purpose of said that Legends has always been one of avoiding glass to be thrown in with alumi­ their most cooperative generators, or re­ cycling pickup locations.

He feels that it is only a matter of time before all things can be recycled. Presently, glass recycling isin the hands of thestudents, Kelly said. There are many locations across campus where all types of glass bins are available, so for glass to be recycled, it should be taken to these bins. Both Kelly and Rice asked that when glass is placed in the bin, that it be placed carefully, or the broken glass will not be recycled. At Legends, in order for a successful glass program in the future, Kelly ex­ pressed the need for more space, bigger sinks and a good drainage system for the cleaning of glass. Until then, throwing it out is the only thing to do, Kelly said. reek hall targeted by vandalism incidents £Ieparham Staff Writer hlan 'n Cone Residence Hall °f repeated vandalScm Eublic J""' acc°rding to Director ft have P°y Tu^m' who said seven reported cases of in r-" V dan, °ne 'E1'5 semester. 1 "lis e Vlctuns ^iden,a8eVange from 550 to $120 to all of the reports the ^meS,°UtqUiCklyWhile Chi Omega sorority hr been vandal­ ized twice, said Janet Trubey, sorority member.

Sigma Nu Fraternity has also had photo composites stolen and broken and have reason to believe that someone urinated According to Feid, one reason ASU wants to do this is because they want to make some services available to students who do not get to use them now. According to Feid, another reason this system was proposed is because part-time students should be required to pay a fee for services that depend on students fees to operate, such as the student union. "Right now we are basically giving away services free to students who take seven hours or less,"said Feid."Full-time students are more or less paying for parttime students to use the services." on their couch, said fraternity member Nick Salvatore.

"With an emphasis on literacy pro­ grams nationwide, we felt this was a per­ fect opportunity to emphasize this type of program for our employees," Beasley added. While Appalachian has offered similar employee education programs in the past with Caldwell Community College and through tuition-free college classes, the consolidation of benefits into one pro­ gram has many advantages. For one thing, the Appalread basic edu­ cation courses are smaller, with a teacher to student ratio of 1 to 10, allowing for more personalized instruction. For those students requiring more individualized learning in certain subjects, there are seven Appalachian faculty memhers who are currently enrolled in the tutor training program. Another plus to the Appalread program is the convenient location of classes. In the past, students were forced to drive to and from classes and, according to Beasley, the drive was a big factor in the high drop­ out rate. Now instead of the employees going off-campus for classes, the classes have come to the employee at four loca­ tions all located within walking distance of employee work sites. Although the Appalread system is only three months old, it is off to an impressive start. Over 45 employees are currently enrolled in the basic skills and GED courses. Employees must obtain release time from their supervisors to attend classes, which meet for two hours twice a week. Not only is Appalread gaining increased popularity, but the program has already produced significant results. "It has already made a difference," Beasley said. "The employees feel good about themselves and are happy about what they are doing."

Attention clubs and organizations desiring student union space during spring '92:The student union is slated to undergo extensive renovations and an addition to double its size and greatly enhance its capacity to meet the various conference and programming needs beginning in January or February, 1992. The initial construction will affect the Mini-mall area and virtually all of the second floor of the existing building. Confer­ ence Room 211, the Forum Room and Our House space will all be closed. Consequently, this will leave the campus with only two small conference rooms (rooms 110 and 112) and the Student Union Pub as multi-purpose meeting and programming spaces until after the completion of the new addition.

She said that after she began treating her bulimia, she found that the people who she admired were often anorexics or bulimics also. Jones said anorexics and bulimics have a distorted self-image and an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. "I feel amazingly huge and obese, and I compare myself to other people," Angie said. While Jones said the majority of people with eating disorders are women, he said five percent of anorexics are men. Dysfunctional families are often the cause of eating disorders, as well as a sexist society which perpetrates the no­ tion that thin is attractive, according to Jones. Angie said that when she began her recovery, she found her mother's alcohol­ ism had had a lot to do with her eating disorder. She said there are three types of families whose children often have prob­ lems: the overprotective family, the per­ fect family and the chaotic family. Recovery from an eating disorder often takes counseling and a different bodyimage perception, Jones said. "I would look into the mirror and just see fat, nothing but failure," Angie said. She said that becoming a Christian is helping her to recover. "It's okay if I lose some battles, but if I lose some battles and stay down, I'm not going to get back up," Angie said.

By USA LAUGHLIN Appalachian Staff Writer L SCOTT PLASTER THE APPALACHIAN Practically everyone is aware of the huge impact drugs have made on society. Yet while the war on drugs rages, one must decide what the actual truth is. The Cannabis Action Network visited our cam­ pus earlier this semester and revealed some star­ tling facts. Many have heard of the drug marijuana. Al­ though presently illegal, Kevin Aplin informed students that marijuana has positive medical uses. Spokesperson for CAN, Aplin said that presently 37 people across the nation hold prescriptions for this drug. This is an extremely small number con­ sidering its many uses. Marijuana reduces the nausea caused by chemo­ therapy and also reduces loss of muscle control caused by muscle spasms in paraplegic and quad­ riplegic patients. It also has positive effects on anxiety, depression, pain, asthma and glaucoma patients. Marijuana is non-toxic. It is safer than alcohol, tobacco, aspirin, other synthetic drugs and many foods. It is estimated that if marijuana was legal, it could replace 30-40 percent of more harm­ ful pharmaceuticals, such as valium, presently on the market. So why is marijuana illegal? According to Dale Kirkley, representative of the Substance Abuse Education Program, marijuana is illegal because it is dangerous. The information supplied by the Wellness Cen­ ter includes that marijuana can causechromosomal breakdown, birth defects, breakdown of immune systems, reduction of sex hormones (which can lead to impotence in males) and lung cancer. Smok­ ing one joint is equal to smoking a pack of ciga­ rettes. Besides being used for medical reasons and fabric, the hemp plant can also be used for oils, twine and paper. Hemp paper would cut down on the depletion of our forests. Seventy to 80 percent of trees have been cut down to make paper, and they take years to grow back. Hemp grows back annually and is 100 percent biodegrad­ able. If hemp was used as fuel rather than stripmining for fossil fuels such as coal, not only would it be cheaper, but it would also decrease the greenhouse effect. By growing the plants and then burning them, it balances the oxygen-C02 cycle. Also by burning hemp for fuel, the sulfur that causes acid rain is not emitted.

Dr. Linda Weiner, coauthor of "The Lecherous Professor: Sexual Harassment on Campus," came to Appalachian last week to speak to students and faculty. Weiner defined sexual harassment as"any form of sexual discrimination." Regardless of whether a man makes an inappropriate remark to a woman or makes a sexual pass, he is harassing her. By spreading awareness, Weiner hopes that most people will speak out about sexual harass­ ment. She believes that it is part of our culture and is prevalent in the workplace and on campus. In fact, as many as one-third of the women enrolled in school will experience sexual harassment. SEXUAL HARASSMENT-AMERICA'S NEW HOT TOPIC; Dr. Linda Weinerdiscussed her book, "The Lecherous Professor: Sexual Harassment on Campus," last week on campus. After the speech, Weiner met with students to give them the opportunity to share harassment experiences. The number of incidents of harassment are even higher in the office. As many as 50-60 percent of women havereported being annoyed bydistasteful jokes, pin-ups, or any type of touching or language that has made them uncomfortable. Not only is sexual harassment unethical, it is also illegal. Appalachian, along with other cam­ puses, has a policy clearly stating what harassment is. The policy says that if a faculty member prom­ ises a reward or threatens a punishment through sexual favors, that person is sexually harassing another. Every student has aright to be on acampus free of hostility. Weiner stated that there are no common charac­ teristics for asexual harasser, although many people expect them to look dangerous or have a "hijacker profile." Likewise, there are no typical victims. Harassers may target a victim whether he/she is young or old, pretty or plain. However, Weiner has noticed several cases where the victims had been abused as children. This could be because of the low selfesteem these victims may have. Since they have already been mistreated, the victims think they do not deserve better treatment and do not report their harassers. One major problem that the student may en­ counter is being terrified of entering a classroom again. They may feel uncomfortable about offend­ ing their professor and consider the incident their own fault. Also, other students may turn against the victim because of all the attention he/she is getting from the professor. Victims who are sexually harassed suffer more than simple annoyance. Many become angry, up­ set and have a hard time understanding the situa­ tion. Others may become physically ill with stom­ ach achesor headaches.Isolation is also acommon symptom. Weiner is angered by the way men react to the problem ofsexual harassment.M any situations are not taken seriously by men, or they do not handle the cases appropriately. She is often asked the question "Don't women sexually harass men, too?" Although it is logically possible, Weiner said, the occurrences are rare when compared to how often men harass women. Those who have been sexually harassed need to share their experiences with people who would like to know and help. Through this type of open communication and education, perhaps the rise of sexual harassment will stop. Summer venture follows King Arthur legend By AMY C. CAMPBELL Appalachian Staff Writer "Chasing a myth." These are the words Dr. Robert Lysiak uses to describe his Summer Study Abroad trip entitled Arthurian Britain: Legend, Landscape and Litera­ ture. The four week trip begins June 1 in London. The group will have four days to "get their feet on the ground," get over jet lag and enjoy the sites as well as the different culture. The trip will enable students to receivesix hours credit through two courses: ENG 3531 "Arthurian Britain" and ENG 3532 "Arthur in Legend and Literature." The group will travel the same paths as the Arthur characters as they study these courses. Sights along the way include Glastonbury, Ply­ mouth, Newcastle, York and Stratford where they will visit the Globe Theatre and Shakespeare's birthplace. Along the way, the group will also note literary legends who travelled the same path, such as Robin Hood, Dracula and the House of Baskervilles. Lysiak stresses that students will have most nights and weekends free to do what they wish. He wants each student to have the experience they have always dreamed of in Europe., Once the group returns to London, they will take day trips to Oxford, Canterbury and the South. There will be free time during this final week in London for students to plan their own excursions. Accommodations in London will be a budget hotel which is geared for student use. Outside of London, bed and breakfast houses will be used. These accommodations are included in the esti­ mated S2,900. This approximate cost includes full tuition, roundtrip air fare from Charlotte-LondonCharlotte, transportation in England, international student ID card, insurance, ASU administrative fee, most trip program funds (museum fees, the- aters) and trip contingency funds. Dr. Bruce Dick, who took a similar trip this past summer, said,"It's worth going into debtover...I'm ready to go again!" Lysiak conducted a meeting about the trip last Tuesday night where he discussed the trip with interested students and presented a slide show of the places they would be visiting. Every student was ready to board the airplane and go! Another meeting will be held in January where Lysiak will ask for commitments to the trip. Lysiak welcomes questions and may be con­ tacted in office 133 Sanford Hall or at 262-2312. Angel Tree helps needy ASU books go to Poland By HEATHER TRUDGEON Appalachian Staff Writer By SPENCER KNIGHT Appalachian Staff Writer All Appalachian students are aware of the fre­ quent "Dead Book" sales held by the University Bookstore. These are often titled "All you can carry" sales. When these sales arc over, however, these books have no placeto go except the dumpster. This is a tremendous waste of resources. Even though the books are worn, they are certainly usable, and most are under three years old. The opportunity presented itself when Andrzej Kosmala, president of a business university in Poland, came to visit his brother, Dr. Wiltol Kosmala, a math professor at ASU. Andrzej Kosmala came to pursue the possibility of Appala­ chian professors teaching in Poland. He learned about the marketing, finance and economics texts through campus bookstore manager Roby Triplett. These books are out of date in the United States, but they will be a welcome asset to the Bielska Akademia Business 'U in Bielkso-Biala, Poland. "Polish students cannot afford to buy these books, and they are essential to us right now," Andrzej Kosmala stated. The A.P.P.S. Angel Tree allows student groups and organizations a chance to show their Christ­ mas spirit by giving to the community of Boone. The Appalachian Popular Programming Soci­ ety Executive Cabinet sponsors the Angel Tree each year in order to benefit needy families in the Boone community. The project was started five years ago by Lane Newsome, then A.P.P.S. president. The original idea behind the project was A.P.P.S.' wanting to give something to the community of Boone in addition to the services they provided to the stu­ dents. Buying gifts for the less fortunate was the per­ fect project. Without the help of A.P.P.S. and the students on campus, many of these families would not be able to afford gifts for Christmas. Since the Angel Tree project was started five years ago, the response has grown tremendouslv each year. Last year over 300 students, faculty and staff members participated in the AngelTree project by buying gifts for needy families in Boone. See BOOKS page7 ANGEL TREE IN STUDENT UNION: A.P.P.S. is sponsoring the angel tree for the fifth year at ASU. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to pick an angel off of the tree to support a needy Boone family during Christmas.

"I'm sympa­ thetic, but I don't think there is a possibil­ ity of it becoming legal. It would cut down on deforestation, butitdoesn'thave a chance." Presently marijuana is listed by the government as a Schedule 1 drug, which means it is dangerous and has no known medical use. Petitions will be sent to try to change marijuana's classification to a Schedule 2 drug which would make it legal for medical use, since it has been proven by Francis L. Young, an adminis­ trative law judge, that it is not addictive, has no lethal effects and is probably the safest therapeutic drug for man. _ Kirkley, of the Substance Abuse Edu­ cation Program, "encourage(s) students to really know what they're dealing with." He explained that marijuana is "not with­ out the potential to be addicting." He described the addiction to marijuana as more subtle than most drugs, and that it is more psychological than physical, yet physical dependence can develop with high doses daily. The withdrawal symp­ toms include agitation and stomach pain. Even more disturbing is the amotivational syndrome. Heavy potsmok­ ers may undergo subtle changes of per­ sonality over long time periods. These symptoms include apathy, short attention span, less ambition and a decrease in motivation just to name a few effects. If you would like to learn more, contact Cannabis Action Network, P.O.

Members who participate say that delivering the gifts to the families is a heart-touching experience. To see the re­ daction of the families is gratifying because without the Angel Tree the families would have nothing. This year, rather than delivering the gifts, A.P.P.S. will have the parents pick up the gifts at the Broyhill Inn and Confer­ ence Center. This will prevent the chil­ dren from seeing their Christmas gifts delivered by college students, whichcould be confusing to the children. A.P.P.S. president Matt McNaney said, "Hopefully this year, parent self-esteem will benefit from our program as well as the happiness of children." The Angel Tree is a wonderful oppor­ tunity for students to join together in a service project. Many people often don't realize how many less fortunate people there are in the Boone community. A.P.P.S. urges student organizations,resi­ dence halls, classes and other groups to join together and make this "a Christmas of giving." The Angel Tree is currently on display outside of the Sweet Shop in the student union.Students are asked to pick an angel from the tree then and take it to room 204 of student programs. After taking the an­ gel to room 204, you will be provided with the person's name and a list of his or her needs. Many students and faculty across cam­ pus have already expressed a tremendous amount of interest in this year's Angel Tree. Students are urged to pick their angel and get the gifts assoon as possible. Gifts are currently being accepted in Student Programs, room 204 of the Plemmons Student Union. A.P.P.S. asks that all gifts be turned in by Monday, Dec. 2. A.P.P.S. would also appreciate any effort you could make to have the gifts wrapped before you bring them to the Student Programs office.

I-AA Playoff Pairings The Appalachian Photo oy trey norick APPS SHINE IN OPENER: ASU junior forward Steve Spurlock glides in for two of his 19 points during Appalachian State's 87-64 triumph over the Lions of Mars Hill. Junior guard Billy Ross paced the Mountaineers with 23 points, nailing 10 of 14 shots from the field. The Appalachian State Mountaineers tipped off their 1991-92 basketball season Saturday by manhandling Mars Hill, 8764, in Varsity Gym. Junior guard Billy Ross led the way for the Mountaineers, pouring in 23 points on 10 for 14 field goal shooting. Ross also connected on all three of his three-point attempts. Senior forward Steve Spurlock also slammed home19 points for the Apps. ASU, which ranked eighth in the nation a year ago in field goal percentage, shot57 percent as a team for the game. "I don't think we shot the ball great," ASU Head Coach Tom Apke said. "We just got great shots." The Mountaineers, bolstered by the re­ turn of fifth-year seniorpointguardRodney Peel, also played aggressive defense throughout the contest. Appalachian lim­ ited the Lions to just 42 percent shooting for the game and forced 23 Mars Hill turnovers. "Our defense played extremely well. I don't think we ever lost our defensive intensity the whole game," Apke ex­ plained. "For us to be a better team than last year, we're going to have to keep that up. What we did defensively throughout the game was important in this game and for the season." "They really picked up the defensive pace," Mars Hill Head Coach David Riggins said. "I know they are awfully athletic and very well coached." "The good news about them is that we don't have to see them again this year," Riggins quipped. The Apps took firm control of the game in the first half, canning 60 percent of thenfield goal tries to vault to a 43-21 intermis­ sion lead. Mars Hill, meanwhile, shot a paltry 27 percent in the opening half, hit­ ting just 10 of 37 attempts. "We got some great shots early on, but we couldn't get one to go in the bucket," Riggins said. "We really missed some easy baskets early that might have shed a different light on this ballgame. "We knew what to expect from these guys. We made some key mistakes early on and just couldn't recover," Riggins said. "You can't afford to make that many mistakes against a team like Appalachian." The physically dominantMountaineers also used their muscle to pound the ball inside, and as a result, went to the foul line 17 times in the first half. The Lions did not go to the charity stripe in the opening half. The Moutaineers raced out to an early 6-0 lead, before the Lions cut the gap to 86. Ross then set the tone for the game by drilling three straight three-point shots, pushing the Apps to a 17-6 cushion. "Billy Ross is an explosive scorer," Apke said. He's a tough matchupfor Mars Hill and a tough matchup for anybody because he can shoot the outside shot and also get the ball inside." Leading 31-17, the Mountaineers held the Lions without a point for over fiveand-a-half minutes late in the first half. ASU went on a 10-0 run to take their biggest lead of the half at 41-17, with just over a minute to go. The Mountaineers again opened strong in the second half, and a 12-4 spurt gave the Apps a 62-34 cushion. Spurlock tooR charge during the burst with three dunks, putting Appalachian comfortably ahead midway through the second half. Senior forwardTim Powers, who played in the contest despite suffering from the flu, sank two free throws togive theMoun­ taineers their widest margin of the after­ noon, 75-43, with just over seven minutes to play. Mars Hill responded with an 18-6 spree that closed the gap to 20 points, 81-61, with over a minute remaining, but the Lions could get no closer. Freshman for­ ward Chad McClendon's dunk at the buzzer gave the Apps the 87-64 triumph.

Quarterback Michael Payton led the Thundering Herd, completing 13 of 19 passes for 210 yards and two touchdowns. In the process, Payton completed a recordsetting year, setting a new Division I-AA season mark for passingeffiency at182.85. Marshall kicker Dewey Klein joined in the record-setting fun, booting ninePAT's to push him into first-place on the SC alltime scoring list with 304 points. Kirk Roach of Western Carolina held the pre­ vious mark with 302 points. Marshall ends the regular season 8-3 overall and 5-2 in the Southern Confer­ ence, good for a second-place finish. The Thundering Herd will now advance to the firstround of theplayoffs, where they will host Western Illinois. Marshall was the only Southern Conference school to re­ ceive an at-large bid. The game Saturday was the last for ETSU Head Coach Don Riley, who re­ signed earlier in the month. The Bucca­ neers finish the season 1-10 and 0-7 in league play. Bulldogs ruin Furman's playoff hopes The Citadel beat Furman for the first time in nine years Saturday, and in so doing knocked the Paladins out of the running for an at-large berth into the na­ tional playoffs.

The Lady Apps were tied with MSU, 60-60, before Morehead State guard Shannon Litton nailed a back-toback three pointer to spark the squad's rout of the Lady Apps. Lady Eagle Beverly Smith followed Litton by scoring two baskets and forcing App State to call a timeout. The Lady Mountaineers never came within seven points ior the remain­ der of the game. Leading the way for Morehead State was Beth Ousley and Litton, who finished with a game high19 points apiece and five and three rebounds respectively. Other players scoring in double figures for the Lady Eagles included Beverly Smith with 14 points and a game high 14 rebounds, Julie Magrane with 17 points and nine rebounds and Stacey Spake with 11 points, eight rebounds and a game high six assists and four steals. "She (Litton) was not anticipated. She lit up whenever and wherever. We ex­ pected 33 (Ousley) tobe a dominant force," Robinson said. Robinson pointed to a couple of keys as the difference in the game. "We were getting boards, but we couldn't put the chipper in. We struggled to score," she said. "We never had five focused people on the floor. We let them push us around and we had no composure on defense and tried to rush too early offensively. We have to do something different." ASU's Lynch was the high scorer for the Lady Mountaineers with 18 points. She also dishqd out three assists in her first appearance with the App State squad. Robinson was impressed with the per­ formance of Lynch, a transfer from the University of Illinois-Chicago. "Sheryl had an excellent first night out. She did some really good things. She scored and pushed the ball well. I am well pleased," Robinson said. Senior center Shannon Thomas, work­ ing off a knee injury from last season that kept her out of nine games, scored 16 points and grabbed a team-high 13 re­ bounds. Other key players for the Lady Moun­ taineers included junior foward Regina Ikard who totaled 10 points and eight rebounds and senior guard Mitzi Story with 11 points, three assists and three steals. Roberson led the game in assists with six for the Lady Apps. Despi te theloss, Robinson remains con­ fident of the ability of her squad, "We are working out the kinks; we are a better ball club than this. Morehead State is pre­ season fourth in their conferencee and they generally start out strong and then struggle at the end. We do the reverse; at least, I'm hoping that is the case," Robinson explained. The Lady Mountaineers will host Radford tonight beginning at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gym before travelling to Harrisonburg, Va. to compete in the James Madison NielsonToumament with squads from James Madison, Robert Morris and Charleston. ill Debbie Mc Mullen MOREHEAD STATE TOO MUCH FOR LADY APPS: ASU senior forward Shannon Thomas fires a shot against Morehead State Saturday in Varsity Gym. Appalachian Htwto by �Save the rainforests... a n d 111 arguably its stiffest test of the season when it faces Appalachian, the top-ranked defensive team in the Southern Confer­ ence. The Mountaineers have surrendered only 17 points per game this season. Junior linebacker Rico Mack anchors ASU's defensive unit, posting nine tack­ les per contest. Senior free safety Gary Dandridge leads a stingy ASU pass de­ fense that has intercepted 16 passes through 11 games this season. Meanwhile, the Colonels appear just as strong defensively. Eastern allowed just 17 points over the last three games of the regular season and held teams to under 10 points six different times this year. Appalachian will try to attack the Colo­ nels with the running of freshman tailback Chip Hooks, theSouthern Conference allpurpose yardage leader. Hooks rushed for 1,062 yards this season and was Appalachian's second-leading receiver. Quarterback D.J. Campbell directs an effective passing game for Appalachian and has been intercepted only four times this season while tossing seven touch­ downs. Anthony Smith, Kemal Atkins, Ray Gama and A1 Ellis give Campbell a wide array of receiving weapons. While the Mountaineers were assured of getting a bid to the playoffs, as many as three other Southern Conference teams entered the final week of the regular sea­ son with hopes of getting an at-large bid. Marshall, however, was theonly otherSC squad to get a bid and will host Western Illinois Saturday. The Thundering Herd finished theregular season 8-3 and ranked eighth in the country, whileWestern is 7-3-1 and ranked 14th. Other first round playoff games have top-ranked Nevada hosting McNeese State, Villanova traveling to face Youngstown State, James Madison at Delaware, Samford at New Hampshire, Sam Hous­ ton State at Middle Tennessee State and Weber State at Northern Iowa. "I didn't exactly like the thought of playoffs when I came to Appalachian three years ago, but with this being our second trip in three seasons, I don't see why the IA schools don't go for the idea," Moore commented. "I think the playoffs are great, and our people are really excited about them." Should the Mountaineers win Satur­ day, they would face the winner of the Sam Houston State-Middle Tennessee State contest on Dec. 7. The site for that game, which would be a national quarterfinal contest, is yet to be deter­ mined, but it is possible ASU would be the host team. t h e p a Intramural Winners Commentary writers needed immediately Tennis Singles — Kerri Morgan Doubles — Kathy Collins & Connie Raynor Mixed Doubles — James Glover & Joelly White Please call Tracy Tarleton at 262-3104 or stop by room 31 Workman Hall Horseshoes Singles — David Hamrick & Mary luPr?

We probably all know the earliest celebration of Thanksgiving occurred when the pilgrims had a feast with the Indians to give thanks for arriving safely in the New World after a long difficult voyage on the Mayflower. A less widely-known fact is that President Abraham Lincoln was the one who estab­ lished Thanksgiv ing as a national holiday to be celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. It has been a pessimistic year—a war, recession, rising tuition costs, increase in crime—the list could probably continue. Those who are real glass-is-half-empty types probably think there really isn't much to be thankful for this year. Yes, the country, the university and maybe you personally are going through some troubled times right now. People may not be able to forget that there are problems. But let's use Thanksgiving Day as the one day out of the year when we can take time out and forget about what's wrong with the world and focus on what we have to be thankful for. Yes, we went to war this year. There has been much debate over whether or not we should have gone. War is never good. Many lives were lost in the Gulf War that should not have been lost. The main thing we can be grateful for about the Gulf War was that it was over quickly, and we won. We can be grateful that it did not last as long as Vietnam, and that although one life lost is one too many, we can be thankful that no more lives were lost than were. Also, democracy is spreading through Eastern Europe and even into the Soviet Union. Now, citizens of other countries can enjoy the economic and personal freedoms that Americans have almost taken for granted. . We are in a recession, but it could be worse. During the Great Depression, the unemployment rate was almost 25 percent, and the average family had to struggle just to put food on the table. ASU just recognized Hunger and Homeless Week. This was a time for the community to think about how much we take for granted the fact that we do have enough to eat Having enough to eat, especially in a time of economic downturn, is certainly something to be thankful for. On the local scale, we attend school in one of the most beautiful states in the UnitedStates. Not many other states can boast of having both mountains and beaches within a few hundred miles of each other. North Carolina does have hot summers, but the winters are mild—within a year we can see both hot sunshine and a few inches of snow. Also, we attend one of the most prestigious universities in the Southeast. Appalachian ranks third in the state in SAT scores of entering freshmen, ranking only behind Carolina and N.C. State, respectively. ASU is reputed to have the best education program in North Carolina and one of the top business schools in the country. Many corporations will not do their hiring in the spring until the middle of May when the ASU College of Business has its graduation. In spite of its popularity, ASU has managed to remain small. ASU puts emphasis on a low faculty-student ratio. Budget cuts have made this difficult, but ASU's facultystudent ratio is still much lower than larger universities. In what class at ASU would you have 500 students, as you quite possibly would at Carolina or State? Tuition costs have risen, so if you were able to come back to school this year, it is something to be thankful for—many students were unable to. And if you are on a scholarship or were able to get financial aid, this is also something tobe thankful for, as aid forstudents is decreas­ ing due to budget cuts. Having the intelligence and diligence to get into ASU is also something to be thankful for. ASU is becoming more and more difficult to get into as the administration is trying to keep its small size while more and more people are applying. Then there are small things to be thankful for, things we usually don't think about but we always appreciate. Ex­ ams end earlier this year. Those of you upperclassmen probably remember a time or two when you had an exam on the lastday and weren't able to go homeuntil five days before Christmas. This year, even if you can't go home until the last day, you still have nine days between exams and Christmas. Those of you who stay in Boone and work through Christmas may still be finished studying for exams earlier than you would have in the past Also, due to the fact that Thanksgiving comes as late as it possibly can this year, Christmas is almost here. The malls and shopping centers are decorated, the angel tree has been in place in the student union, and last night I noticed a Christmas tree in the Pub. I got my inspiration for this column a few days ago when I made my personal listof things I could be thankful for—terrific parents who have taughtme right from wrong and still love me when I mess up; a younger sister and brother who have made being a big sister an enjoyable experience; other relatives who are always there when I need them; a handsome, intelligent, mature, loving, won­ derful boyfriend; a best friend who is also my roommate (who never complains when I turn on Tom Petty while she's trying to translate Spanish); great friends; a job at which I can be creative and enjoy myself; awesome co­ workers (who easily fit into the "great friends"category); church groups here and at home and great pastors in both places; good professors who have taught me a lot here at ASU; and then there are small things like Mexican food and chocolate...the list goes on. That's my personal list. Everyone's will be different, but if we think hard enough we can all find a few things to be thankful for. Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. If we are pessimistic enough in the way we view the world, we can always ask ourselves, "What is there to be thankful for?"But Thanks­ giving Day is the one day out of the year when we can do as the pilgrims did in the 17th century—take time out to look at the good things about who we are, where we've come and what we have going for us, and give thanks. Duke will not be giving in to failure ' By JIM WILLIAMS Appalachian Staff Writer "This is not what I meant at all; That is not it at all." —T.S. Eliot This morning I was up early thinking about failure. Not that failure is something that usu­ ally demands much of my attention. That is not to say that I don't fail, just that when I do fail I don't agonize much over it.I just get back up on it and try to make the next jump. Unfortunately, I am not the only human being on the face of this earth that has this approach do wn. It lookslike David Duke, the Klan-Man from Bama, is about ready to re-mount and look on down the road to that next wall. Duke, having recently lost his bid for the gubernatorial post in Louisiana, has recently announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for thepresidency of the United States in 1992. Of course, most commentators on the subject so far have stuck to the word "might" and avoided the word "will." This is not cowardice; this is common sense. Just like you don't bury a body that's still warm, you don'tembrace chaos until there is no alternative. Duke himself seems more than confident that he can arrange his peculi ar rhetoric in such a way as to sway a majority of Americans in his direction, and it is more than obvious that he intends to use an odd twist on the public perception of his Klansman's attitudes to seem even more hands-off than the Liber­ tarians as far as government control goes. In an interview on the nightofNov. 18, Duke used this unique twist to suggest that the U.S.'s affirmative action regula­ tions are "the closest thing to Nazi Germany's Nuremberg Rules"we've seen since the fall of the Third Reich. The reader will please postpone his or her attempt to see through the semantic opti­ cal illusion here in order to consider the basis of Duke's statement: affirmative action regulations are, by nature and defi­ nition, racially based rules for the overt governing of racial balance; thus, like the regulations of Nazi Germany, they seek to create a social change by political rear­ rangement of class hierarchies. As far as it goes, he's right. The point of affirmative action is and always has been that the restructuring of the society along racial lines will eventually lead to a re­ structuring of American opinions in re­ gards to racial issues. Of course, the fun­ damental difference between affirmative action and the Nazi purgation of the Jews is one of proximity. Affirmative action assumes that proximity encourages un­ derstanding; the Nazis were going on the assumption that distance is necessary for hatred to take root. And here again, it might be that Duke has a point. Suggest that laws which in­ volve racial privilege will tend to bring about racial jealousy, and thus provoke racial separatism. This is one of your basic intention-and-effect-type things: even if the laws were intended to bring about racial parity, their effect will be to encourage racial separation. VH J hi JO«V Hririw ,ai' .3:* biaow rfotriw Unfortunately, Duke has not yet made to come out and clear his name of all the this leap. He made it clear that his major media-mudslung accusations, safe in the concern is not with racial separation, but knowledge that most Americans were too with racial privilege in itself—his con­ far away to know anything of what ex­ cern is not that affirmative action increases actly was going on, what was said and racial tensions, but that it gives privilege what of what was said was true or remains to non-whites and thus disadvantages true.

This is essentially, the reader will Christian line or the white line, once he remember, the same logic the Nazis used resolves to make it clear that he is not an to argue for a solution to the "Jewish ideologue but a problem-solver, once he problem," and that the Zionist Jews used gets the American public to buy the idea to argue for the establishment of the State that his main concern is not with what's of Israel less than a decade later. right but rather with what's wrong...

Chinese toys were made by child labor Beware when buying childrenys gifts To the Editor: This past week I noticed that the annual Christmas tree was put up in the student union. I certainly do support the idea of helping the less fortunate during the holiday season and throughout the year. But, I also caution anyone planning to participate in this program by buying toys for the children whose names are on the tree. Many of the toys purchased in this country are made in China, a country known for their suppression of dissenting views and their exploitation of children and others. According to Frontlash, the youth group of the AFTCIO, China made $1.6 billion off toy exports in the first six months of 1990. The United States is the single largest importer of Chinese toys. We buy 55 percent of our dolls from China and 40 percent of all our other toys from the People's Republic of China. Sadly, many of the toys are made by child labor. The Oct. 31, 1988, issue of "Business Week" reported on the long hours many children face in Chinese factories. According to this article, the typical workday is 14 hours long for the children. But for the Christmas rush, girls were ordered to perform two 24hour shifts each month, in order to make Mickey Mouse dolls for the United States. When the toys are not being made by children, prison labor is often substi­ tuted, an illegal practice in international markets, but still one in China with the help of American companies more interested in the bottom line than any sort of basic human rights. It is not only children who must suffer under these conditions. Many Christian religious leaders have been imprisoned. Amnesty International reported in December 1990 that 2,000 police and 270 military vehicles were used to destroy Father Pei's church. At the time, over 300 people were injured, 32 were arrested and two were killed. And the list could go on. It is ironic indeed, that many citizens of this country celebrate Christmas by buying toys made in a country that imprisons leaders of their own faith. I ask that anyone interested in human rights therefore boycott toys made in the People's Republic of China. And I am not the only one endorsing this "toycott." Dr. Fang Lizhi, a Chinese dissident, wrote in a letter to the AFL^ CIO that this "toycott is an excellent means for individual citizens to support democracy and human rights in China and Tibet." Other organizations also support the "toycott" including Humanitas International Human Rights Committee. When you do your holiday shopping this year, check the label and make sure you do not buy toys made in China. Support the Christmas tree program in the student union but also support human rights in China.

This year, the General Assembly de­ cided to allot an average of $5,900.14 for every full-time student in the university system, said Lynn Holaday, associate vice chancellor for business affairs. The North Carolina state legislature has determined that this year's tuition for an in-state student at a state university with a master's degree program is $676 per year, Feid said. Universities which have doctoral programs, such as the Uni­ versity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, are required by the state legislature to charge more for tuition, Feid said. Tuition increases or decreases must be approved first by the North Carolina Board of Trustees and then by the Board of Governors, according to Feid. Tuition at ASU increased 20.4 percent this year, from $561.50 in 1990-1991 to $676 in 1991-1992, Feid stated.

The College Board reported Oct. 16 that an in-state student at a four-year, public institution paid an average of 12 percent more in academic year1990-91— to a total of $2,137 in tuition fees. Those figures do not include room and board. The cost of education at a public twoyear school rose by 13 percent, or $1,022, and a student at a four-year private school paid seven percent more, or $10,017. College Board officials blamed the in­ crease, the highest since 1983, on tough economic times. "The current recession has had an im­ pact on all sectors of education, public and private," said Donald Steward, presi­ dent of the College Board. "Although we haven't seen double-digit increases for public institutions since 1983, many people expected them this year because of the widely publicized cuts in state bud­ gets. "Ironically, the nation is cutting funds for higher education at a time when its need for a well-educated workforce is growing. At some point, we must realize that such cuts are short-sighted and coun­ terproductive." One of the biggest increases took place in the University of California system, where tuition rose by 40 percent. The University of Oregon raised tuition by nearly one-third. Richard Rosser, president of the Na­ tional Association of Independent Col­ leges and Universities, noted that money problems are nothing new to private schools, which do not have the taxpayer subsidy that public institutions have. "The financial problems now being faced by state institutions are ones that private colleges and universities havebeen trying to deal with for years," Rosser said.

"We basically solved the problem last Mil the weekly Senate meeting). The rumors were tearing down our organiza­ tion," Murphy said. Murphy added that he felt the group who was rumored to be attempting the impeachment was not part of SGA. Murphy began Tuesday night's Senate meeting saying that he had heard several senators had made allegations that the SGA Senate was not doing anything be­ cause no bills were being passed. "I'm worried more about the quality of the bills than the quantity," Murphy said. Three bills have been passed this se­ mester, according to Murphy. Proposed impeachment bylaws were passed out at the meeting by the constitu­ tional committee. However, Murphy said that changes in the judicial system have prompted SGA to begin compensating for those changes with new election and im­ peachment bylaws. "Anybody would be a fool now to try something," Murphy said, explaining that there is no procedure for impeaching the officers due to a change in the judicial process.

The com­ mittee said sign-up sheets for a food drive are still available in thestudent union.The drive will last until Christmas break. Some new proposed legislation was presented by the committee on student affairs. They are looking at possible bi­ cycle guidelines, a standard laundry fee and beginning the sale of cigarettes back into the campus market. The SGA will be voting on the student fees next week. Some of the proposed increases include athletic fees, and an increase in the health services fee, inorder to improve services at the infirmary. The proposed increaseincludes an augment in the student activity and book rental fees. The next SGA meeting will include a voting on student fees and will be held on Tuesday in room 103 of Whitener Hall.

He did say they have encountered trouble with bands adhering Appalachian Photo by Jennifer Morris STUDENTS USE ONE OF SEVEN ON-CAMPUS LABS: ASU students Hal Greene and Brack Morton take advantage of the computer lab, which is available to all students for a $15 per semester fee. The ASU Academic Computing Ser­ vice realizes the importance of computers and is attempting to do its part to prepare students for the future by offering com­ puter labs all overcampus, said ACS staff member Joyce Roy. ASU has seven computer labs on cam­ pus containing computers and printers. There is a $15 fee per semester for students to use the labs. Over 4,000 stu­ dents are registered to use the labs. However, anyone who is not registered to use the computers and attempts to ille­ gally use them will be asked to leave the lab, said Roy. The reason for the $15 fee is that gen­ eral administration does not want that fee put on the student body's tuition, said Roy. The computer policy began several years ago whensome students approached the chancellor and asked for better com­ puter facilities. The administration seemed to think that a fee would be the most efficient way to improve the labs, said Director of ACS, Dr. Deanna Bowman. ASU was one of the first North Caro­ lina schools to ask for supplemental fund­ ing in this area to cover the cost of paper, ribbon and the salaries of those who work in the labs, said Bowman. Some other University of North Caro­ lina schools, such as UNC-Chapel Hill and NC State University, charge their students up to $50 for computer lab fees, said Bowman. They also do not have the support that ASU does, said Bowman. In some of the bigger schools the stu­ dents are just thrown into the computer labs to "sink or swim," Bowman said. However, she pointed out that at ASU trained workers are in the labs to help the students with all of the equipment. Each fall and spring semester the ACS holds classes to train people to help stu­ dents in the labs. In addition to these employees, there are also two managersin charge of overseeing the labs. How does the number of computers at ASU compare with others schools? "The numbers arenotwhatcount,"said Bowman. "It's how they are supported that counts." In addition to the people in the labs helping the students, there is also a com­ puter user guide in the ASU bookstore for $2.95. Bowman said the ACS wants ASU students to have every opportunity to use computers effectively in order to compete in the job market later on. The main complaint students seem to have about the labs is there aren't enough printers, and the printers are out of order too often, said Kristen May, ASU junior. Most students register to use the labs as a requirement for a class so it becomes a little inconvenient when the printers are not working, said several students. However, ACS employees, Roy and Bowman contend that every effort is made to keep the equipment in working order or to fix the equipment when it breaks. The computers and printers supplied in the labs are AT&T, IBM and Macintosh and software such as Wordperfect, Lotus, PC-File and Telnet is available. Appalachian's direction merits two thumbs up Consultants approve of Appalachian State Universityfs future direction after evaluating school By TRACY WILLIARD Assistant News Editor Appalachian State University recently received a "vote of confidence from four consultants hired by the Board of Gover­ nors of the University of North Carolina system. The Board of Governors asked all 16 schools in the North Carolina system to submit a proposal covering their univer­ sity hopes and plans for the next 10 years, according to Dr. Bill Ward, associate vice chancellor for academic affairs. The four consultants, who are all past or present university presidents from across the United States, were hired to review each university's proposal and make recommendations to the university. The consultants visited Appalachian's campus several months ago. "We feel largely vindicated by what they (theconsultants) said about ASU and the other North Carolina systems," said Ward. "We proposed in our statement to keep on doing the kind of thing that makes ASU strong in the North Carolina system, and they encouraged us to keep on going in the direction we've been going." According to Ward, the consultants did not approve of several institutions' desire to offer doctoral programs because they feel North Carolina is in need of strong undergraduateeducation right now. "One thing ASU proposed in our mis­ sion review that the consultants did not support was a doctoral program in reha­ bilitation and clinical psychology," said Ward. "One doctorate program that is already planned and will begin as soon as the money comes available is a doctorate in education leadership." According to Ward, this program should begin next fall. ASU's mission within the UNC sys­ tem will not undergo a substantial change right now, according to Ward. According to Ward, the consultants encouraged ASU to continue to pursue planning for a masters degree in com­ puter science, communication mediaman­ agement and liberal studies and a bachelor's level degree in athletic train­ ing. "We are planning these programs, but none of these programs will constitute a major redirection of the university," said Ward. Ward said that if ASU discovers the need for a degree program that they did not propose in the mission review, ASU will consider offering it "Anytime ASU discovers an area of need in the country that a degree program could help, we will look into it," said Ward. "For example, right now there is a need in the United States for more physi­ cal therapists than are being produced from our colleges, so we are currently looking into a degree program in this area." �Resident Assistant Selection Tor 1992-1993 to begin: Applica­ tions are available for resident assistant positions in the Residence Life Office in Hagaman Hall between 8 am. and 5 p.m. Applica­ tions are due by January 17, 1992, at 5 p.m. Orientation sessions will be held from 9:30 to 11 on Dec. 2 and 3 in The Pub, and Dec. 4 in the Forum room.

(CPS)—What do Tylenol, McDonald's, government, foundations. TV talk show host Montel Williams and universities all have in common? They all give money to students for college—some in the form of scholar­ ships, some in grants and some in loans. As the saying goes, "Seek and ye shall find." Just ask John Bear, author of "Finding Money for College." His 157-page guide to scholarships, grants and loans docu­ ments more sources of financial aid for students than just about any other book on the market (cost $6.95 in popular book­ stores everywhere). According to Bear, more than $65 bil­ lion in financial assistance for students goes unclaimed every year. Part of the reason is that some special­ ized scholarships can't find people to meet their criterion. Some examples of the more difficult and unusual: • Scholarships for convicted prostitutes in Seattle. Seriously. The fund was estab­ lished by a judge in the city. • Scholarships for people named Baxendale, Borden, Pennoyer or Murphy. The money is waiting at Harvard. • Sports scholarships in frisbee (at the State University of New York at Pur­ chase) and racquetball (at Memphis State University). • The Charles and Anna Elenberg Foun­ dation grants—awarded to needy Jewish orphans. Of course, most scholarships and grants aren't quite so odd and specific. Usually, the awards specify a geographic area of the country, a field of study or a level in school (graduate, undergraduate, doctoral, etc.) to narrow the field of qualified appli­ cants. Oftentimes, financial need isnot a quali­ fying factor. Experts agree that much of the reason money goes unclaimed is because people aren't aware that it exists. Another reason—"Generally, people don't apply for aid because they feel that they're not eligible," says Joyce Smith, associate executive director of the Na­ tional Association of College Admission Counselors. She and others suggest that anyone in­ terested in applying for aid should follow some basic procedures. First, students should find out what scholarships, grants and loans are avail— able from their schools and their states. This information is available at university financial aid offices. Second, students can research national scholarships and grants through books like Bear's or through some inexpensive pub­ lications like the American Legion's an­ nual "Need A Lift?" which costs $1 and can be obtained by writing to the Ameri­ can Legion at P.O. Box 1050, Indianapo­ lis, Ind. 46206. Other sources of money are corpora­ tions and non-profit organizations that are worthy of investigation. Some examples: • McNeil Consumer Products Co. of­ fers the Tylenol Scholarship Program,giv­ ing a total of $600,000 to students in dl 50 states and the District of Columbia. 'The Tylenol Scholarship Program represents our ongoing, long-term commitment to providing educational opportunities and financial assistance to those students who demonstrate outstanding leadershipskills," McNeil President James T. Lenehan says. • TV talk show host Montel Williams has formed his own non-profit organiza­ tion in Denver called REACH for the American Dream.

Tuition exG r o s e 18 percent in the fall of dentin the fall of 1987 and jntinthefaH of 1983, according to al (k parable ,f tuition and fees at ASU is to tuition and fees at other state universities in North Carolina and in the nation, Feid said. The average cost of tuition and fees at four-year state-funded universities across the country is $2,137, and tuition and fees at ASU this year amount to $1,231, Feid said. North Carolina subsidizes public in­ stitutions at a higher rate than many other states do. And therefore, it [tuition at universities in the North Carolina system] becomes a bargain," Feid said. According toPatsy Braxton,director of financial aid at ASU, the amount of finan­ cial aid money allotted to ASU increased this year over last year despite state bud­ get constraints. The increase in financial aid funds is due to a new grant program affected by the state and by an increase in student loan applications, Braxton said. In order to obtain financial aid fundsfor state universities, the NorthCarolina Gen­ eral Assembly applies directly to the fed­ eral government, and when funds are allo­ cated, the university system decides how much money, based on student enroll­ ment, to allot to ASU, Braxton said.

Richard Wilbur's 'Tartuffe" is a new version of one of the greatcomedies of the French theater. The story is a farce of morals.

Events which call for expressions of an­ ger, surprise, fear or sadness all seem to mesh into one constant look. Hawn seems to be another dumb character while the mystery unfolds. First impressions are proved wrong by her critical display of intelligence at the end. Ashley Peldon, famous for her role as Marah Lewis on "The Guiding Light," played the little girl, Mary. She gave an excellent performance. Her warm smile and dancing eyeslit up the screen in her portrayal of a happy, carefree and innocent child.

Adrienne suspects her husband of noth­ ing. Perhaps flashbacks couldhave served to clarify any confusions. "Deceived" causes people to ask them­ selves important questions about life and love. After watching this movie, it is easy to understand how easily blind trust is given to those we love. In this movie, Adrienne is living in a world which does not exist. She is forced into a struggle for her life against a man she thought loved her. The themes within "Deceived" revolve around identity and relationships. Hawn said, "The question in this movie is, 'If he isn't who I think he is, then who am I?' Many of us have a tendency to identify ourselves by those we love, and our image is reflected by them. Director of photography Jack Green said, "In the beginning, the picture is a love story and is bright, warm and lush. Then a tragedy occurs, and the lushness disappears.

Senior Leigh Wallace led the way for the Lady Apps clocking 18:17 on the five-kilometer course to finish 29th overall. The meet featured a field of 231 competitors. "Leigh had a sensational race.She ran hard and made the last race of her collegiate career a memo­ rable and exciting one," Weaver said. Wallace's finish marked the third highest ever by an ASU runner in the meet. Previously, ASU standouts Whitney Ball and Vanessa Kosmalahave finished sixth and 19th respectively in the late '80s. Senior Julie Anderson finished at 116th for the Lady Mountaineers with a time of 19:41, followed by sophomore MelanieBabb clocking 19:44, good for a 119th place. Seniors Dee Anna Davis and Janet Osada rounded out the Appalachian top five turning in times of 19:47 and 19:51 to place 124th and 130th respectively. "I'm real proud of all of the girls. Everyone ran hard, but their times weren't as fast as we'd thought," Weaver commented. There's something about this By HOLLY ROBINSON Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State determined its varsity wres­ tling starters in the annual Black and Gold match Tuesday in Varsity Gym. The Black squad had a team total of 54, which was slightly over the Gold's team total of 48. The 1991-92 starters are: Donnell Rawls at 118, Todd Miller at 126, Ivan Neely at 134, Victor Balmeceda at 142, Kyle Kuykendall at 150, Adrian Hines at 158, Corey Creech at 167, Bill Baker at 177 and Tory Maiden, Heavyweight. "We're set for the first match. We have our starters until someone challenges and knocks them out," Head Coach Paul Mance said. "I expect a pretty good season. Our team is good, young and talented. We're strong in the lights and middleweights. We may have a real good team. An unexpected upset for Coach Mance came in the 126 weightclass with freshman Todd Miller defeating junior Jeff Wheeler in his first college match ever. Out of a total of 18 starters, there are actually 7 freshmen. "There are quite a few freshmen in the lineup. Some real good recruits came in. I think they're going to do a real good job for us," Assistant Coach Joe Boitnotte said. The freshman starters have made agood impres­ sion on the ASU wrestlers. Sophomore Kyle Kuykendall commented, "We have a lot of good freshmen this year that really want to wrestle and work hard.This will help out the team a lot." Junior Bill Baker also commented, "There are lots of good attitudes on the team. The new guys brought in good attitudes." A close battle in the match came in the 150 weightclass between Chad Collins and Kyle Kuykendall, in what Mance called a "down to the wire" match. "I knew it would be a lough match," said Kuykendall. "We've always battled well in the room. Chad had a lot of mat time last year as a starting freshman. We'll both get good mat time this year." Kyle Kuykendall won the match at 5-2. Both wrestlers are sophomores. The team is highly optimistic about the upcom­ ing season, but their biggest worry is in the upperweights. "Our main concern is in the upperweights," Mance commented. "We have two upperweights out for injuries. John Reynolds (190) is out for the season due to a shoulder injury. That situation will be missed." Mance is hoping to gain a transfer heavyweight in the spring semester, or to possibly recruit a football player when football season is finished. Some wrestlers, however, refuse to be discour­ aged by the lack of strength in the upperweights. "We shouldn't lose more than three (matches) at the most. That's the worst scenario," commented Collins. "This is the most exceptional team in ASU's history, but it'll take a lot of hard work from everybody on the team." "With lots of hard work and exceptional wrestlers, we should win the Southern Conference and possibly go undefeated in the season," said junior All-Ameiican Victor Balmeceda. "We'll accomplish that by 'no mistake' wrestling. In col­ lege wrestling, if you make a mistake, you lose. It's not a matter of points, but rather the least mistakes made. I think we could have three or four AU-Americans in the nation this year." The ASU Wrestling Team travels to Chapel Hill this Saturday for the Carolina Open. Men's Action The Apps compiled 466 points in the district meet to finish 18th overall in a race with competi­ tors from 50 squads throughout the South. "I was pleased with our overall performance. It was a good meet and will give us something to build on," ASU Head Coach A1 Fereshetian said. Sophomore Billy Pemberton led the Mountain­ eers clocking 32:38 on the 10-kilometer course to finish 61st overall in a field of 272 runners. Freshman Brian Miesch followed Pemberton and finished with a time of 32:58, while senior Steve Simandle clocked 33:21. The ASU top five were rounded out by senior Mike Bowers with a time of 33:45 and freshman Mark Noble turning in a 34:05 performance. Western Kentucky runner Sean Do11man cap­ tured the race with a time of 30:27, while SC champions ETSU took the meet honors totaling 101 points. North CarolinaState and UNC-Chapel Hill followed ETSU.

From the Bleachers Contests designed to boost basketball spirit Two contests have been announced to encour­ age student spirit and involvement at ASU home basketball games, accTding to ASU Assistant Ath­ letic Director Mark Dreibelbis. The Nov. 25 home game againstGeorgia Southem will be Greek Spirit Night, sponsored by Domino's Pizza. "Georgia Southern is a new entry to the Southem Conference, and we [want to] show them what it's like to play on another team's home court in the conference," Dreibelbis explained. "We want to create a festive home atmosphere." The contest is open to all groups on campus. The group that displays the most creativity and shows the most spirit will win 20 large pizzas from Domino's Pizza in Boone. Another contest is slated for the ASU-UNC Charlotte contest on Dec. 2. At halftime of the game. Domino's will sponsor a pizza eating con­ test. The contest will be open to 25 student organiza­ tions on campus.

North Carolina State captured the team title, totaling 61 points followed by the University of Georgia with 115 and the University of Virginia scoring 130. Weaver was pleased with the performance of the Lady Apps for the season, "We moved up in the districts from 23rd last year, finished second in the NCCC (NorthCarolinaCollegiate Championships) and won the conference. We had a very successful season. The seniors (Wallace, Anderson, Davis, Osada and Free) are to be commended. They cre­ ated a great team feeling and were the backbone of the squad. These girls will graduate undefeated in the conference. Next year will be a crucial one for us; our young leaders (Babb and Disher) will have to provide inspiration for the others. We have lots of potential but will need work." Grapplers open season SU was also ranked 18th.

"Apply today and get up to Contribute to others this holiday season The season of giving is approaching. Within a month, two of each year's most giving holidays will come and go. Although fortunate students, faculty and staff members should think of those less fortunate throughout each day of the year, the upcoming holiday season provides the greatest number of opportunities to get involved. Share your wealth; give to those in need. Several Appalachian clubs and organizations are providing ways for everyone to help. This week marked the national recognition of the hungry and homeless. Active Students for the Community sponsored a fast and a fcpout on Sanford Mall to raise awareness and money for those in need in thearea. WASU, the campus radio station, also contributed to the awareness if the hunger/homeless plight, as the station held its third annual music marathon to raise money for the Watauga County Hunger Coalition this week. Money raised from the fast went to the Hunger Coalition as well as the Hospitality House and the Habitat for Humanity. These local organizations welcome all volunteers and donations. Students, My and staff can give of their time as well as their money. Campus organizations are doing their part to raise awareness and funding, but everyone can do more. Do what you can. While the homeless need your help, others, with homes, are barely able to survive each day. Many children are forced to live in cold, cramped condi­ tions,with little food orclothing. Appalachian Popular Programming Society ^providing the names of needy children and adults to those who wish to give fcChristmas. The names are located on the Angel Tree in the Plemmons Student Union, and can be picked up by anyoneinterested in helping someone Save a happy Christmas. Clothing, in addition to toys, can obviously mean ®re to someone that doesn't have, than to someone who does. Give generously. Take a child's name from the Angel Tree and give the gifts that fad to happiness. More information on the Angel Tree can be obtained by ®lling Student Programs at 262-3032. Student Government Association is also providing an opportunity to help •lose less fortunate, as SGA is sponsoring a canned food and clothing drive 6" the area's needy. Donations of clothes go to area shelters for distribution, "Wecanned goods are sent to theHunger Coalition. A number of students, Mty and staff members have closets full of unused clothes. Fortunate ones ^several itemsof outgrown or unwanted clothing. Help others bycleaning Myourclosets, or by providing the hungry with canned food items. For more "formation on the SGA's food and clothing drive, or to contribute to the '"on,call Matt Williford at 262-2265. Thanks to several campus and area organizations, getting involved this !° y season is easy. Do your part to see that no one in the area goes without "M.clothing and shelter. The special events in the upcoming month remind ®ofhow special our lives are and make us aware of numerous things to be *ful for. While giving thanks this holiday season, give generously of yourself so others will have happy holidays as well. Give of your time and *resources to help those that don't have to give. $1,000 credit!" ads scream. Or, "Become a Student Card member today and get three round trips on Continen­ tal Airlines for only $129 or $189 each," (American Express) or "No annual fee the first year!" Several times each semester, booths are set upin thestudent union to talk students into applying for all kinds of credit cards— Mastercard, Visa, Discover and gas cards. Some compa­ nies will even offer incentives, such as giving away a box of M&M's or a Dr. Pepper to the student who fills out at least two applications. Yes, it is easier and more convenient than ever for a college student to get a credit card. All one has to do is either go by the student union when booths containing applications are setup, fill out an application and get a free box of M&M's, or go by any bulletin board in almost any building on campus and take an application from the pocketfuls that are thumbtacked to the board. A college student who goes filling-out-application-crazy could eas­ ily have five different Visas from five different compa­ nies, at least as many Mastercards, a Discover card and several different types of gas cards—a wallet full of plastic! It is certainly convenient and almost necessary for anyone who is even partially financially independent to own a credit card. Many stores, major department store chains such as Belk's and Penney's in particular, will not Everyone should be warned of the dangers of giving away credit card numbers over the phone, unless the card owner is the person who made the call. An advantage of having a credit card is mail-ordering. Many companies such as Land's End have a 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week toll-free number in which the buyer can call and charge his or her purchases.This method of ordering is much simpler and quicker than filling out the order form in the catalogue and sending it in with a check. Mail-ordering by credit card is an excellent idea, but the person who is doing the ordering, and therefore giving away acredit card number, should always be theone to make the call. Giving out your credit card number to someone who calls you subjects you to fraud. "Selling" credit card applications and offering prizes for filling them out, gives students the opportunity to sign up for credit cards, but otherwise may not be such a good idea. It almost makes it too easy for students to get credit cards. A student may, for example, as I did once, fill out a credit card application just to get a box of M&M's and then decidelater heor she does not really need acredit card (or in my case, another credit card). The student must then cancel the account, which sometimes is a very difficult and tedious procedure, and cut up the card. Of course, filling out a credit card application just to get a box ofM&M'swasanactof stupidity on my part, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has done this or something similar to it. I am not advocating that students should not have access to credit cards, only that access should not be so easy. Another situation that students, particularly seniors, may run into, is charging one or more cards to the limit while thinking, "I'll have a better job pretty soon and will be able to pay for this."This student is up the creek if he or she finds him or herself jobless after graduation. Credit cards are certainly both convenient and neces­ sary today. College students, who are old enough to have developed some money-management skills, should cer­ tainly have access to them as a form of identification and for purchases. However, anyone who owns a credit card should be made aware of the dangers of charging cards to the limit and being subjected to scams. Easy access to credit cards can pose problems, how­ ever, for those students who are not warned of the dangers of having too much credit,charging their cards to the limit or becoming victims of scams. Companies put limits on the amount of credit students can get—usually $500 or $600 for a credit card with no co-signer. Some people still run into problems when they charge their card up to its limit then can't make the minimum payment. Anyone with more than one card runs into a bigger problem— three small minimum payments a month, for example, can amount to $60. Charging a card to its limit and then only being able to make the minimum payment may mean that it will take years to pay off the card, or, due to interest rates, the card will never be paid off and the card owner is only paying the interest. College students should also be warned about scams. One example occurred recently when five women were selling perfumes in the residence halls, perfumes they claimed were designer fragrances, for $25 a bottle. The perfumes were actually from Scentura Creations, which sells the perfumes as designer renditions that have no relation to the name brands. One warning that ASU Sergeant of Public Safety Harvey Webber gave in relation to the incident was, "Don't give out your credit card number." Other incidents have occurred in which a person would sign up to win a dream vacation, and then get a phone call say ing heor shehad won the vacation at a very discounted price and has a year to take the vacation. The caller would then ask for a "deposit" and tell the"winner" that heor she could put this "deposit" on his or her credit card. The person would then give a credit card number to the caller and hang up, thinking a dream vacation package is on the way. The "winner" finds out later that he or she actually never won anything, except a credit card bill containing Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior French education purchases that he or she never made. major from Wilson. Question "the way it is" philosophy By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer "That's just the way itis. Some things '11 never change." "That's just how you're supposed to do it," they say. "Sorry, that's the way we do it around here. That's the rule." Do any of those words ever burn you up? Take a few words of advice from Bruce Homsby."Don'tyou believe them." A man once asked his wife why she cut off the ends of a ham before she put it in the oven. She said,"I don'tknow why. That's just the way my mother did it." So the man went and talked to his wife's mother. He asked her the same question. She also said, "I don't know why. That's the way my mother did it."So the man went to ask his wife's grandmother. She said, "I cut off the ends of my hams because if I don't they won't fit in my pan. It's too little." That's just the way you cook a ham, right? You walk into the Gold Room. The special is country style steak with one vegetable and a roll—$4.25. But say you really like country style steak, you're re­ ally hungry and you want a double help­ ing. But to your dismay, you find out that to get two orders of the steak you also have to get two vegetables and two rolls, for a bill of 58.50. You can get just the steak, but you would have to pay for the whole special anyway. Nice rule, huh? O.K. You're driving along and some­ body rams you in the rear. You take your car to the shop—and they have to replace the bumper. Then, you're parked safely back on campus, and just when you thought your luck was at its lowest, you get a parking ticket A parking ticket? Yeah, then you remember—your parkingsticker was on the old bumper. Now you have a new bumper and a parking ticket. You go to security and try to explain. Nouse. Even though it's the same car—You get a ticket anyway. No sticker. That's the rule. Thai's just the way it is, right? Why? Rules are made so people won't have to think. Heaven forbid that anyone in our society should ever have to use his or her own judgment. Don't rules make everybody's jobs easier, though? They make everything oh-so-fair, too, don't they? Rules take the human element out of our daily transactions. Because of rules we are not treated as individuals with individual needs andcircumstances. Rules are inhuman, static and stagnant; but what would wedo without them? Without rules, people would have to be treated like dis­ tinct human beings. The people who now enforce the rules would then have to use their judgment and make decisions; they would have to think! Imagine that—a so­ ciety in which people are respected as individuals. Rules are not always written out and enforced by an external authority. Some­ times we pick them up and enforce them upon ourselves. When that process is com­ plete, we enforce them upon others—all with a few simple words—"supposed to..." or "that's the way..." This is the way you capitalize a sentence. Why? Of course, there are consequences of breaking rules: Failed courses, jail, end­ less tickets, any punishment that authority can subject us to. (You're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. Doesn't "punishment to which authority can sub­ ject us" sound so much better?) Also, some rules are necessary. Imagine people driving the wrong way down one-way streets. I am not advocating chaos. The key here is that some rules are agreed upon; they are standards necessary for safety and convenience. Some rules aren't agreed upon. They are made solely for the rule-maker. Some rules aren't necessary for safety or convenience either. Try sit­ ting in your car facing the security office at that stoplight all night waiting for it to change, even though no cars pass for 45 minutes. How convenient would that be? I am not advocating breaking rules. I am advocating questioning them. And not just rules—but "supposed to be's," tradi­ tions, beliefs and the way things are done, as well (oops! A sentence fragment! Call me illiterate and throw me in jail!) It is high time that people start asking them­ selves, "Why is that done that way? Why do I cut the ends off my hams? Why can't I get a double order of just that? Why do I believe in God? Why do I wear my watch on my left arm?" Chances are that a good deal of life's "supposed to be's'and"that's the way's" are purely arbitrary. Chances are that at least part of your beliefs are, too. Chances are that at least part of the rules that we are forced to live by are arbitrary and purpose­ less also. Why fight for causes long ago forgotten? Someone famous once said, "What is your way? This is my way. There is no 'the' way." Even further, ask yourself, "This is my way, but why is it my way?" So if people tell you "That's just the way it is. Some things'll never change," don't you believe them. Ad offends writer Readers angered by ad's sexual innuendo To the Editor; This letter is in regard to an insert in the Nov. 12, 1991 issue of The Appalachian. We not only find this insert disgusting and insulting but also totally out of place in a university newspaper. Two articles from the same paper also deal with sexual subjects. We think it is time to look at the larger issue of sexual harassment, rape, abuse and related subjects which we believe are directly related to the sexual freedom so rampant in today's society. One only needs to look at newspa­ pers, magazines, billboards or TV commercials to be bombarded with suggestive ads that are aimed directly at stimulating the sexual drives. If we continue to portray sex as a desirable activity to be entered into at will, without any thought of the repercus­ sions or the effect it may have on irresponsible individuals, we cannot complain when these natural, if undesirable, responses occur. If we are going to offer workshops on sexual harassment and try to educate our students and staff, elimination of one of the primary causes of this problem, in our opinion, is also necessary. We can shut off our TVs and' not purchase printed materials that we are offended by, but the availability of these materials to children is something that no one can control until we insist that the advertising world quit using sex as their main selling point. We certainly hope that the editors of The Appala­ chian will use better taste and discretion in the future in the ads which they include in the paper and any inserts which are included.

POLICY PROHIBITING SEXUAL HARASSMENT Sexual harassment is considered to be a form of discrimination based on sex and falls within the scope of institutional policies and procedures regarding discrimination. As with other forms of dis­ crimination, the University is committed to maintaining a work and a study environment free of- sexual harassment. Accordingly, in compliance with Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the University will not tolerate any verbal, nonverbal, or physical behavior which constitutes sexual harassment. Personnel with supervisory responsibilities are required to take immediate and appropriate corrective action when incidents of alleged sexual ha­ rassment are brought to their attention by students, faculty and staff, and applicants for student admission or applicants for employ­ ment.

However, despite an increased aware­ ness of the existence of sexual harass­ ment, the definition of the harassment is still unclear, Howe said. Barbara Daye, associate vice chancel­ lor for student development defined sexual harassment as "unwelcome sexual ad­ vances which are very physical in nature involving a person in a position of power who subjects that power over someone whom that person could have influence as to theiremployment or academic advance­ ment." In a study done by Dr. Faye Sawyer, assistant dean of the college of arts and sciences, on perceived sexual harassment of students, faculty and staff at ASU, Sawyer classified harassing behavior as: sexist comments, undue attention, sexual advances, body language, invitations. physical advances, sexual propositions and sexual bribery. However, while Sawyer's study showed about three fourths of the cases dealing with sexual harassment were committed by males, about a fourth of the cases were committed by females. Despite the sex of the offender, males and females reacted differently to the per­ ceived harassment, according to the sur­ vey.

Students participating in the fast will start Tuesday at 3 p.m. and will fast for 24 to 50 hours. Each participant has sponsors who have pledged money for each hour of fasting. The money raised from the fasting will be evenly divided between the Watauga County Hunger Coalition, the Hospitality House and the Habitat for Humanity. The sleepout will occur Wednesday on Sanford Mall. Participants will sleep out­ side on the mall in sleeping bags. Debbie Gass, co-president of ASC, stated, "Our chief goal for the sleep out is to create awareness of the homeless problem as well as to experience homelessness our­ selves." Katherine Switzer, an ASU junior, is participating in the fast and sleep out. able to personally experience what these people have to live with every dayof their lives." She said she feels that by participating in the fast and the sleepout she will be able to communicate belter with others. Kerry Claus, an ASU junior, has seen increased involvement and support in the Hunger/Homeless Week activities over "I feel it's important because people who don't have a homeorfood to eatdaily the past three years. She has participated are not very visible in our society,"S witzer for all three years in the fast and the sleep said. "By fasting and sleeping out I will be out. "It has proven to be very effective. By fasting and sleeping out we are proving that we are aware and care about the hunger and homeless problem," said Claus. Claus said she thinks that the activities during Hunger/Homeless Week are effec­ tive ways to raise money and awareness for the hunger and homeless problem. "Listeners can call in and pledge money to hear a favorite song," said Kevin Hartbarger, WASU promotions director. The music marathon will start at 8 a.m. and continue until midnight. A minimum of $3 can be pledged. Organizations and clubs on campus can also buy one half hour of time for $50. The money raised will be donated to the Watauga County Hunger Coalition. WASU is also participating in Hunger/ Homeless Week. Wednesday will be WASU's third annual music marathon. WASU will be broadcasting live and taking pledges for songs Wednesday in the student union from noon to 4 p.m. vandalized Women allegedly sell imposter perfume as reai MILLIARD ,e*s Editor Designer fragrances were sold on campus for $25 before University police stop scam By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer there is damage to ' 00 Property is stolen, something is taken from . *^8 to Tugman. n Five women selling what they claim­ ed to be name-brand perfumes were asked to leave campus after ASU police re­ ceived complaints from residence halls, according to ASU security. The sellers were not ASU students. Campus security responded to calls from Bowie and Coltiane Residence Halls complaining that the women were soliciting without proper permission from the university, said university po­ lice. The women were selling what they claimed to be name brand perfumes, such as Eternity, Liz Claiborne, Poison and Obsession, for $25 a bottle, said univer­ sity police. They also claimed that their product was three times stronger than any department store perfumes, according to security. According to a Belk employee, the women were sellingeau deparfum, which is not the strongest type of perfume avail­ able due to its higher alcohol content According to buyers, the women also told them the perfumes were samples from the designer companies, explaining the lower price. Even though the name brands of the perfumes come from different designers, the bottles the women were selling were all manufactured by Scentura Cre­ ations, security said. Scentura lists the scents as designer renditions and has no direct ties to the name brands. According to university police, anyone who bought the perfume can put a stop payment on the check if they feel that the product was of inferior quality. Students should be cautious when purchasing these types of products, said ASU Sergeant of Public Safety Harvey Webber. "Don't give out your credit card number and make sure you are buy­ ing from a reputable dealer," said Webber. ASU Police said they apprehended three of the five women and warned them not to return to campus. The other two sellers were also believed to have left campus, according to security. �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

Homeless shelter welcomes volunteers BySUZI LANDIS Appalachian Staff Writer In a time when the national budget crunch is hitting everyone in the United States and the recession is bringing hard times on the middle-class, the town of Boone houses the only homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Watauga County. The Hospitality House, located on King Street, is a temporary home for families and individuals to get back on their feet. The house acts as a 30-day intervention crisis center. According to Appalachian State University graduate and staff mem­ ber Gloria Fulp-Parker, the Hospitality House is a home base for people who are homeless but are looking for a job and a way out. Ninety-eightpercent of the people want to work, Fulp-Parker said. The center provides meals, linens and sometimes clothes to those who need it. Bus tokens for the AppalCart are also provided so the individuals can go to seek jobs during the day. "If someone is staying here, they must be out looking for ajob during the day. We don't allow people to sit around the house all day watching television," said FulpParker. The house allows a maximum of 15 people on a first come, first serve basis. Fulp-Parker said that throughout August, September and October the house was so full that people had to be turned away. The Hospitality House operates with funds from the Town of Boone, Watauga County, United Way, local churches and other various donations. The center was started, however, from a donation of a single Boone citizen. In 1985, Connie Humphrey donated her house to the homeless and began Connie's Hospitality House. The house now belongs to the organization. In the winter a second house is opened to accommodate the overflow of people who cannot find rooms in the Hospitality House. The past three years the First Bap­ tist Churchof Boone has had the shelter in their basement. This year, the shelter will be by Pizza Hut Delivery. Fulp-Parker stressed the family atmo­ sphere of the houses. "We don't allow anyone who is intoxicated. We have to provide a safe environment because we do havemany families and children living in the house," she explained. The house is run by three paid staff members and numerous volunteers. ASU students volunteer through clubs such as ACT, SASWP and greek organizations. Problems.,. after an abortion? MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP -634-2224 Right Macintosh.

Eighteen percent of male faculty and staff members knew of such pressure while 14 percent of female faculty and staff were aware of the same behavior. Reaction to the perceived harassment also varies, depending on the the student's age, the study found. Freshmen and sopho­ mores were more likely to contact their parents than older students. Some students would avoid the profes­ sor, let the professor know that they were not interested, or tell friends about the behavior, according to the survey. Howe suggested that students who be­ lieve they are being harassed should re­ port it to the equal opportunity office or to the dean of the department if they feel uncomfortable confronting the offender. However, Daye, Sawyer and Howe all agree that the harassment should be dis­ cussed with someone because it is often a continuing cycle that can be stopped only when it is confronted. "The harasser does not want his or her behavior to be made known," Howe said. Daye said if a student confronts the harasser or reports the incident, the ha­ rassment of that student will cease. Sawyer said, "So often they think they are the only one, that they are singled out. What they don't often realize is that the harasser has put others in that same postition."

A brochure published by the Univer­ sity ofMinnesota-St. LouisOffice of Equal Opportunity said both men and women can be sexually harassed; however, stud­ ies indicate than more than 95 percent of the victims in college are female. "I think it is terribly important that we take advantage of thepublic awakening of this serious issue," said Anne L. Bryant, executive director of the American Asso­ ciation of University Women. "I feel on every campus, every presi­ dent can make a statement and take action right now to make sure the climate on his campus isa feeling of poweras opposedto powerlessness among women and minori­ ties. The leadership has got to come from the top," she said. "When wego though aperiodof change, the nation is about torn apart," said Geor­ gia Swanson, a professor of speech com­ munication at Baldwin-Wallace College in Cleveland, Ohio. She said there is a basic misunderstanding between the sexes that will take an educational process to correct. Swanson, who teaches a course titled "Communication Between Men and Women," cites studies that show that both sexes, while watching an identical film strip depicting female behavior, will have different interpretations. Men will inter­ pret a smile as "coming on," while fe­ males will interpret it as "friendly."

"I think some men have no idea (that they are participating in sexual harassment)," said Swanson. Mark Freeman, a counselor at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., which has a strongly-worded sexual harass­ ment policy, said he hopes the recent hearings will encourage honest discus­ sion of the problem. "If disgruntled feel­ ings arenot expressed, it may drive people into polarized positions that are never expressed." Throughout the country, from affirma­ tive action directors to student leaders, the question is posed: What are campuses doing to promote open discussion of the issue of sexual harassment—and is it enough? Most schools surveyed have adopted policies that includea definition similar to the EEOC's and include stern warnings to harassers. In most policies, harassment includes "unwanted andunsolicited sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other deliberate or repeated communica­ tion of a sexual nature, whether spoken, written, physical or pictorial." Stanford University, which developed a sexual harassment policy as early as 1981, claims it was one of the pioneers in the education field to develop a protective policy for staff and students.

Connolly, an Appala­ chian State Physics professor. Connolly is known to many ASU students as the "Hohkaay" man because of the charming way he says "OK." Dur­ ing his career, he has made physics more interest­ ing, enjoyable and challenging for hundreds of students. By STEPHANIE D'ALESSANDRO Appalachian Staff Writer Being the station manager of WASU gives me a unique opportunity not many student ijjders on campus get. Part of my job is to teach a disc jockey training class. The course is offered each semester to anyone interested in HSU, and all participants receive a one-hour otdit. Although the class has been taught for many «rs, this year I have had the largest number of rodents ever. Because of the 88 people (trolled, I have divided the students up into two different class times. I have gained a tremendous amount of tespect for all teachers. Being the instructor for -iscourse, I set up certain topics to explain and discuss each week. I make my notes and head in i) face my two classes. I teach, and then I recap lisimportant points of the lecture. It is very imstrating to know you have covered someJiag and then have students miss, on a quiz, till I consider the easiest thing. For the first quiz I gave the class 16 people's rues and their titles. I told the class the quiz iphave names listed on one side and the won the other. All they had to do was match wap. Easy "A" right? Not quite, 20 percent ( Mass made below an 80. I even gave tai two points extra credit for giving me their (pinion of WASU. Hie real pain came when one student missed •eon the quiz. To make matters worse, the ffldent matched the station manager to a male TO, 1 sure hope people can see that I am a •Oman, and I don't even have a run-of-the-mill TO that is easily confused.

I fed everyone who did poorly to take the Sit over again. people did not make the effort to come !>ind those who did didn't even make 100 fronton the quiz. Now for the sad news: Connolly is retiring after the spring 1992 semester. When he retires, ASU will not just lose a professor, ASU will lose one of the school's pioneers. Connolly founded the phys­ ics department in 1963. He was ASU's first phys­ ics professor and department chairman. Imagine it: there was no physics department before Connolly came here. When he founded the department, he not only acted as the chairman but also worked as the secretary and the janitor at the same time. "It was a real pain in the butt in those days," he commented. He reigned as chairman for 11 years and built a solid department by hiring its first professors: Dr. Nicklin, Dr. Lindsay and Dr. Rokoske. Connolly stepped down from administration in 1974 to devote all of his time to teaching, some­ thing that he has excelled at. Most of his students would agree that Connolly takes the "pain" out of physics; he exposes the fun behind all the numbers, diagrams and concepts. Connolly shared some of his philosophy on physics: "I think physics is exciting. We live with it; it's around us all the time." The mere names of his "tricks" spark interest and curiosity:"Shoot the Monkey,""Burning Pea­ nuts," "Imploding Can," "The Cheshire Cat" and "Fiberoptic LaserTree."In the late 1960s and '70s, Connolly travelled throughout westernNorth Caro­ lina doing physics demonstrations at high schools. In one of his demonstrations, he fried a hotdog weenie with 120 volts of electricity. One time during this demonstration, aman in the back of the audience stood up and said, "But sir, that's danger­ ous!" Connolly replied, "Sure it is, but so is cross­ ing the street." While teaching during the day, he went to night school to get his Ph.D. After he earned his doctor­ ate degree in 1954, he was employed as research scientist and developer. In 1955, he worked on the prototype foran atomicreactor foraircraft carriers. He also taught at Auburn University for two years. Fortunately for his students and ASU, Connolly found that his true heart lay in teaching. His stu­ dents will remember his "tricks," but most of all, they will remember his warm and generous nature. Connolly will turn 70 in May of 1992, reaching mandatory retirement age. When asked whether he would have continued to teach if he would have had the choice, he said, "I don't know. I can't say. Ilike to teach. I may miss it a tremendous amount." It is certain that many students will miss him. Photo Courtesy of ASU News Bureau PHYSICS FOUNDER RETIRING: Dr. Walter C.

Recycling Bin Campus clubs present hunger awareness events By JOHANNA WEAVER Appalachian Staff Writer It's a frigid night, and snow has slowly started falling. To most children, this could be a wonderful scenario. However, to the small boy huddled in the corner, it is terrifying. Even though he has several layers of clothes on, he still trembles from the cold. He tries to sleep, but hungerpains keep waking him up, and he cries. Now that snow has come, it will be harder to find food scraps. This is a common scene in cities and towns across the nation, even in Boone. This week is National Hunger and Homeless Week, Nov. 18-22. Several organizations have made plans to raise awareness. Active Students for the Community and its par­ ent organization, Appalachian and the Community Together are holding a fast and a sleepout. The fast starts today at 3 p.m. and will end Thursday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. The sleep out is Wed., Nov. 20. This is the third year for the fast and sleepout. "It has previously been a 50 hour fast just for ASC," said Debbie Gass, co-president of ASC. This is the first year that ASChas askedother clubs to join the fast. The fast is "not a mandatory thing, it's just totally voluntary...we don't recommend that any­ body fast over 50 hours," said Eric Tucker, copresident of ASC. He added that people "can fast for as long as you want to between 24-50 hours... (and) can quit at any time." Gass said the main purpose of the fast is to "raise awareness on the campus and also in the commu­ nity." Tucker said that in addition to raising aware­ ness, it is also "to raise money for area agencies; (people fasting) willget sponsors forevery hour we fast." All the donations will be divided between the Hospitality House, the Hunger Coalition and the Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity. ASC spoke to Dr. William Derrick about the fast. On the back of the sponsor sheet are detailed guidelines that Derrick gave them. People fasting are asked to eat well-balanced meals before the fast and avoid junk food, alcohol and caffeine. After the fast, do not eat spicy foods or protein filled foods. Derrick alsosuggested the fasters drink plentyof fluids, especially orange juice. Water and broth are also acceptable. Fasters are also urged to weigh themselves before the fast, and those individuals 100 lbs or under should not fast. If they lose more than five percent of their body weight, they should go by Health Services. On Wednesday, Nov. 20, ASC is planning a sleep out on the mall beginning at dusk. Anyone may stopby for an hour or however long they want. "People don't have to stay the whole night," said Gass. Tucker added that"just the awareness raised from a group of people sitting out on the mall" is enough. C*rawtOfFK "minded the class and discussed what they observed while watching the DJs.

Other associations that have plans for Hunger and Homeless Week include WASU and SGA. WASU is having the third annual music mara­ thon on Nov. 20 from 8 a.m. to midnight. Listeners may request a song and donate money or cans of food for that song to be played. A WASU represen­ tative will be in the student union from noon until 4 p.m. taking requests and donations. All the pro­ ceeds will go to the Hunger Coalition. The Student Government Association is recruit­ ing members to fast and sleep out with ASC. They are also having a clothing and food drive for the Hunger Coalition. Collection sites for the drive are located in all residence halls, or items can be taken to room 20 of Workman Hall. The program began a few weeks ago and will end before Christmas break. Council aids new clubs Hue long term objective outlined in the class "it requirement and importance of Nation hours.

November 19,1991 Appalachian Photo by tray Horocit CLUB COUNCIL GIVES BREAKFAST: Tom Apke spoke last Tuesday, Nov. 12 at the breakfast given by the Coordinating Council of Clubs. He spoke about leadership to club officials and members. The Club Council helps to originate new clubs and aid present clubs. The Coordinating Councilof Clubs held abreakfast Tuesday, Nov. 12 with guest speaker Tom Apke, men's varsity basketball coach. Apke spoke at the breakfast about intercollegiate athletics and leadership. Climbing the ladder in the business world can only be achieved if one is involved, said Apke. Attending business seminars is "how you meet people who will influence your future."Apke feels this works the same way in college. He believes that students who get involved enjoy the college experience much more. Getting involved in extra­ curricular activities now makes students more apt to participate in extrabusiness affairsonce they are in their professions, according to Apke. "I believe that future generations need more than books and classroom experiences when they go to college," he said. Apke stressed the importance of college athlet­ ics. As coach of the basketball team, Apke hopes that more students will attend basketball games this year. He feels that attending these games will be a "tremendous experience" for those who want to go. The Coordinating Council of Clubs helps to organize a club. If a club needs help getting started, it goes to the council. The council then assigns the club a club advocate who helps the club write a constitution. The council will hold leadership workshops for organizations interested in attend­ ing. Another function of the council is allocating money to clubs. According to John Buff, president of the council, $2,000 is currently in the Club Allocations Fund. Any club is eligible for up to $100 which the council gives to help reimburse or assist the club in participating in educational activities pertaining to its organiza­ tion. Chancellor Thomas will speak at the next Club Council breakfast in February. The council has also designated one week during the spring semes­ ter as Club Week . The function of Club Week is "to promote interaction between clubs," said Buff. Club awards will also be included in Club Week. Buff encourages those interested in starting a club to seek help from the council or to contact Jim Street, director of the Center for Student Involve­ ment Assistance and Leadership. If he sees that the club needs help, he sends it to the council. Those See COUNCIL page 6 ASU student leads child through difficult times By GINGER WOOD Appalachian Staff Writer Last year while most students continued with their regular activities, Peggy Shaughnessy, an ASU senior from Coral Springs, Fla., devoted her time to helping an eighth grade boy at Valle Crusis elementary school after the death of his younger brother. Peggy learned of the tragedy and the volunteer position available to help the boy through her Internship Prep Course for Leisure Studies. Hav­ ing lost her own younger brother to a tragic acci­ dent in July of 1989, Peggy knew she could empa­ thize. Her thoughts at the time were, "I know what this kid is going through, and I'll do whatever I can." Peggy met with the boy one day a week. They would joke around, shoot basketball, do home­ work together or just talk. In all these things the most important thing to her wasmaking him happy. "I just liked to put a smile on his face every time I showed up," she said. Helping the boy brought back memories of her own brother's death. The death occurred directly before she transferred to ASU; Peggy remembers that her first semester here was a hard one. "It was a terrible six months away from my family," she said, Peggy received help from psy­ chological serv ices and felt that the boy alsoneeded some type of emotional support. "I think he needed the attention. When he knew I was coming out there, he would look forward to our visit," Shaughnessy said."He knew 1 was there when he wanted to talk about it." Other sources could tell that Peggy's attention helped the boy through a very difficult time. Beth Dean, a counselor at the Valle Crusis elementary school, feels that similar circumstances Shaughnessy and the boy shared were obviously helpful. "The emotional support was really goot for him. It was good for him to be able to talk u someone with similar circumstances," Dean said The experience was also a part of the healini process for Peggy. Helpingsomeone else go througl the same experience helped Peggy deal with he own loss. Peggy was always there for the boy and mad her number available to him to call her and tal anytime. "He never called me, but he knew he ha that choice." If dealing with the loss of a sibling, famil member or friend, you can contact the Counselin Center at 262-3180. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. Nmember 19 799/ I Upward Bound offers excellence By KATE HESS Appalachian Staff Writer Attend classes during the summer in high school? For most high school stu­ dents this would be a nightmare. They would only go to school during the sum­ mer if it was unavoidable. Susan Tincher and Elizabeth England disagree. They are two high school jun­ iors in Appalachian State University's Upward Bound Program that spent their summers scanning electron microscopes and helping sick animals at a veterinary school. Tincher and England were part of a group of 44 high school students from seven states that attended a math and science camp at the Upward Bound Math/ Science Regional Center at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Upward Bound, which is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, has helped many students become the first in their families to attend college. Students from Ashe, Avery, Watauga and Western Wilkes counties are all served by Appalachian's own Upward Bound of­ fice. Not only do students attend tutoring sessions during the six weeks of Upward Bound, but they are also admitted into cultural events on Tennessee's campus. This helps to give high school students an indepth look at a college campus. England loves animals and volunteers at the Grandfather Mountain Animal Habi­ tat. She said that she felt it would be a good experience for her to gel some work in i veterinary school. During the summer, she notonly watched minor surgeries, but received hands-on experience when she assisted with lab tests and gave shots. When asked what she learned from Up­ ward Bound, England replied, "I realize that I have even more choices to consider within the realm of veterinary science." $2 OFF HAIRCUT OR $5 OFF Mm aiif She could name noregrets about spend­ ing six weeks of her summer in the class­ room. Instead she said, "It was a very worthwhile experience. It took a lot of time and effort, but it pays off with the experience you get and the friends you make." "Upward Bound is a good program," Tincher said. "I feel it will help me get good scholarships and because of the pro­ gram, I may have a jump on some schol­ arship opportunities."This is evident be­ cause of the variety of mail she's receiv­ ing from different colleges. The students in Upward Bound attend classes to help prepare them for the PSAT and the SAT and receive weekly tutoring. Appalachian's Upward Bound Program was designed for 65 students last year, but somehow 91 students were served. This program not only makes the students feel their summers are worthwhile, but it also gives them a chance to play the role of a college student on a university campus.

One of the most successful clubs at ASU which has gone through the council is the Waterski Club. "People were laugh­ ing at it because there is no place to waterski. Now, it is one of the fastest growing clubs on campus," said Buff. The Waterski Club, which won Best New Club in 1989, travels to various lakes in North Carolina where students can waterski.

Appalachian snapped a tie late in the third quarter.when junior placekicker J ay Millson booted a 31-yard field goal to put the Mountaineers on top by a 17-14 count The field goal capped off a 12-play, 65 yard drive that chewed up over six min­ utes of the clock. The Mountaineers put the contest out of reach in the fourth quarter, when fresh­ man tailback Chip Hooks ran in from three yards out to give the Apps a 24-14 cushion. Hooks rushed for 158 yards on the afternoon, giving him a season total of 1,062. Hooks is the first ASU freshman to break the 1,000 yard rushing barrier. Appalachian junior punter Harold Alexander put the Apps in position for their final score with a 42-yard punt that was downed on the Catamount 1-yard line. The ASU defense forced the Cata­ mounts to punt after three plays and took over on the WCU 45, setting up Hooks' final score. Alexander, who punted four times for a 40.8 average on the day, established a IAA season record with a 47.02 punting average. The old record was 45.9, estab­ lished by Idaho State's Case de Bruijn in 1981. The Mountaineers trailed 14-7 in the second quarter but were able to score late to knot the score at 14-14 at the half. ASU started their late scoring drive on the WCU 29, thanks to an 11 -yard punt by Kenny Pauley. Junior fullback J.K. Reaves picked up 23 yards to the WCU 6 on the next two plays. Hooks then gained five yards to the 1, where he scored on thenext play. Millson's PAT evened the contest. The Apps had a last-gasp chance to put more pointson theboard before the break, after senior comerback Steve Wilks inter­ cepted a Derrick Harris pass and returned it to the Western 39 with nine seconds to play. Campbell threw a Hail Mary offering into the end zone, which was deflected by several players before falling just out of the reach of div ing receiver Kemal Atkins. Western Carolina exploded out of the gates to take an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Catamounts drove 80 yards in 13 plays, resulting in a Kevin Thigpen 1-yard touchdown burst. Thigpen gained 102 of his team-high 123 yards in the opening half, when the Cats seemed to run at will on the ASU defense. "I was a little apprehensive about the way we might start," Moore said. "I thought we were a little tight. We hadn't been in this type of ballgame before. It was a different kind of pressure." "We felt like we could rush the ball on them, and we did," Western Carolina Head Coach Steve Hodgin explained. "They adjusted in the second half, and we had to throw the ball more. It was disappointing not to be able to move the ball in the second half." The Mountaineers squared up the con­ test on their second possession of the game. Junior quarterback D.J. Campbell, who had his second straight strong rush­ ing game, faked a pitchout and dashed 34 yards for a touchdown. It appeared as if the drive was going to stall on the ASU 18, but on third-and-12 Campbell con­ nected with widereceiver Anthony Smith for a41 -yard completion to keep thedrive alive.

Lady Apps win tourney, advance to NIVC By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State volleyball team won the Boone Nissan-Mazda Con­ ference Tournament forthe first time since 1984 last weekend, subsequently be­ coming the first Southern Conference team ever to receive an automatic bid to the National Invitational Volleyball Championships held in Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 5-7. The Mountaineers, who finished sec­ ond in the SC regular season race, de­ feated the third seeded University of Ten­ nessee at Chattanooga in five games in the semifinal on Saturday to advance to the championship match and face regular season champion East Tennessee State Appaiacnmn rnoto by Randall Hanvna University.

ASU junior setter Rachel Wade, who recorded 114 assists and 22 digs in the tournament, earned All-Toumey honors and was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Wade play ed most of the season at outside hitter and was only re­ cently moved to setter. When asked about how the team felt going into the title match against ETSU, a team that had cleanly swept ASU twice in the regular season, Wade responded, "We were pretty nervous.

Thompson, who sat out last season un­ der Proposition 48 guidelines, played well in his first action as a Mountaineer against outside opposition, scoring five points, blocking one shot and picking up one steal in 18 minutes of action. Six Canadian players reached double figures in scoring, with every member on the roster scoring at least six points. Jackie Moore paced the balanced Ca­ nadian attack with 17 points, while Anna Stammberger added 15. Andrea Black well chipped in 13 points for the Canadians, while Karla Karch and Shawna Molcak scored a dozen. Jodi Evans also contrib­ uted 10 points. "It's alotmore fun to haveTony Thomp­ son in uniform than in civilian clothes, Apke said. "All the freshman did some nice things, and we will have to depend on some younger players this season to play well and contribute to acheive what we need to." Sophomore forward Ricky Neddstarted the ASU run that put the game away with 9:34 left in the game when Thompson fired an over-the-head, no-look pass from halfcourt that Nedd took in for a fastbreak layup. i QBVO&VtV• .(UWU Lady Mountaineers captured the fifth and deciding game. McGee was obviously happy that the final game did not last longer than it did, saying, "Ijust thank the Lord that it didn't go five games." Wade added, "After we lost the third game, coach McGee told us we could win it in four. We tried our best and came through." McGee was one of the key people in persuading the NIVC to extend an auto­ matic bid to the winner of the SC Tourna­ ment, and she said it makes the victory all the more sweeter. "It feels great to be going to the NIVC. I spent a lot of hours working on the bid, and I remember thinking tomyself 'I would really like to be the first coach to go.' This is the proudest moment of my life," ex­ claimed McGee. The NIVCwill beheld inDayton, Ohio, on thecampus of Wright State University.

Sophomore forward Jeanne Coker paced the Lady Apps with 11 points. Se­ nior forward Shannon Thomas, the pre­ season Southern Conference Player of the Year, scored 10 on three for 10 shooting. Appalachian struggled offensively throughout the contest, shooting just 34 percent for the game and committing 24 turnovers against a pressure-oriented Canada defense. In addition to their shooting prowess, the Canadians also dominated Appala­ chian on the boards, out-rebounding the Lady Mountaineers by a 43-19 clip. Molcak, Evansand Blackwell ripped down eight rebounds apiece for Canada, while Moore pulled down seven. Regina Ikard hauled in five of Appalachian State's 19 team rebounds. After Thomas scored to give the Lady Apps a 2-0 lead, Canada seized command of the game by reeling off 16 unanswered points over a six-minute stretch. "We were shellshocked," Robinson said. "They knocked the lights out of it. We were down 15 points before we even knew what hit us." ASU never recovered, and Canada cruised to a 56-23 halftime cushion. The Lady Apps played the Canadians tough in the second half, but a 15-0 run by the Canadians near the end of the game gave Canada the 101-60 triumph. "We dida tremendous jobof contesting every shot in the second half," Robinson said. "I told the team to play all the shots and make them put the ball on the floor. But we allowed too many second shots." Robinson believes the lopsided out­ come will not have any negative effect on her squad, which is the defending SC Tournament champion. "Our team went in thinking we were a good team, and we still think that," Robinson said."I believe this game can be handled in a positive way." �The Appalachian. Tuesda\.

In fact, from what I have observed and experienced, food services has changed phenom­ enally this semester. The operating hours of different facilities have changed due to the addition of the new facility and recession. The purpose of the addition of Trivette Hall was, one, to addmore v ariety to what food services offered students, and, two, to give students living on the west side of campus a close dining facility. The purposes were worth­ while. However, due to a certain amount of disorganiza­ tion, which food services could help, and lack of money, which it couldn't, the purpose of building the facility has to a certain extent been defeated. The biggest disadvantage that the opening of the new facility has brought upon students is a lack of variety. Any attempts to add more variety to campus food have been totally defeated by changes made in food services after Trivette Hall's opening. On weekends, on-campus students have four choices: one is to eat at the Food Court, which, by the way, is the only food service facility which has not dramatically changed its hours; however,if you get up at any decent hour on Saturday or Sunday morning, you might starve to death before the place opens at 2 p.m. Another is to eat in Trivette. Several complaints were made at the beginning of the year when Trivette was only offering Italian food and waffles. Now, a cafeteria-style option has been added in Trivette Hall and in the Food Court. Food services deserves to be praised for this addition. However students who don't happen to like what is being served cafeteria style and are tired of eating Italian food are forced to wait until 2 p.m. for the Food Court to open. They could also choose options three or four—eating off-campus, which not everyone can afford to do very often. Students could Another loss students suffer from only having Trivette also eat in their dorm room. However, if you're going to and the Food Court open on weekends is loss of money. do that very often, what's the point of having a mealcard? During the past several semesters, with the standard meal option, I have tried to conserve money, and therefore Last year, for Saturday or Sunday lunch, on-campus make my mealcard last the entire semester, by making students had a choice of the cafeteria or Gold Room, sure my meals never ran over $3 each. This strategy has which served anall-you-can-eat buffet on Saturdays, until always worked. However, this year I found this strategy 2 p.m. and then the Food Court after 2 p.m. It was almost impossible to implement while eating at Trivette. There a tradition for my friends and me to go to the Gold Room are only two meals I have found there that cost under $3. after church on Sundays. The Gold Room provided an One is meatless spaghetti and water, and another is a slice atmosphere for Sunday lunch that was as good or better of pizza and a drink. Eating one of these two options for than that of any steakhouse. It was the type of place that every meal the entire weekend gets pretty boring. one would go in Sunday clothes. Not only did many students go there after church, but many people in the One of the reasons Trivette Hall was built was so that community and many parents also would go. The Gold students living on the west side of campus would have a Room served freshly carved roast beef with mashed facility nearby. Now this is the only facility open before 2 potatoes and thick gravy. I have yet to go to the Gold p.m. on weekends.

Heterosexual awareness of AIDS rises By CHRIS BRADY Appalachian Staff Writer Ervin "Magic" Johnson shocked the world when he announced that he would immediately retire after testing positive for the HTV virus. Johnson's announce­ ment has brought unbelievable attention to AIDS. Johnson is more than a professional basketball player. He is a great man. He led Michigan State University to a na­ tional championship in 1979 at 19 years of age. A year later, at age 20, he led the Los Angeles Lakers to an NBA championship in which he scored 42 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and handed out seven assists. He was an NBA Ail-Star in 11 of his 12 years as a pro. He played in nine NBA finals. He was a three-time Most Valuable Player in the finals. He contributed to the United Negro College Fund as well as other charities. Now Johnson is in his biggest game, the game of life. Johnson can make a difference, as he has already done. Johnson's announcement that he is HIV positive could be the wake-up call this society needed. Our society is extremely hypocritical when it comes to AIDS. Ev­ eryone feels that he or she is safe from this disease. Magic Johnson proved everyone wrong. All of a sudden, everyone has questions about AIDS. All of a sudden, people are realizing AIDS is a serious problem. The impact this announcement has had is unreal. Calls to a toll-free AIDS hotline have tripled. The fact that Johnson got the virus through heterosexual activity has caused the biggest concern and brought considerable attention to het­ erosexuals. AIDS activists are supporting Johnson for his courage in making his announce­ ment. Fred Allemann, an HIV outreach specialist with the Cascade AIDS Project said, "He probably saved thousands of lives just in that one act." It is sad that it took someone of Magic Johnson's pres­ tige to wake upour society to the reality of AIDS. Sooner or later this type of incident was bound tooccur, yetmost people would least expect it to happen to Magic John­ son. Young people are also getting the mes­ sage and could be taking it harder than anyone. The man many children see as a role model or a hero is HIV positive with an uncertain future. The children see a man who is in top physical shape all of a sudden having no control of the future. Rex Chapman, guard for the Charlotte Hornets, along with his wife Bridgette, pledged $50,000 to help Magic in his educating of people of the dangers of AIDS. A disease that has been killing people for a decade now seems to be causing people to stop and think, "Am I safe?" Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls vowed to join Johnson in being a spokes­ man for the HIV virus. Jordan said, "As a friend of his and a player in the NBA, I think I'm obligated as much as he is to do the same." Jordan's impact on society, especially youth, is potentially great. A commitment to the education of people is needed by such"heroes" of our society. It seems that our society has seen enough death caused by this disease to not rely on a person such as Johnson to scare us. Until now, everyone has had a certain fear of people with AIDS, yet with a man such as Johnson being HTV positive, it sheds a different light on the subject. Het­ erosexuals arenaive about the disease that is typically thought to be a gay disease. Johnson proves this wrong. He admitted to being naive about the disease. Now he has a chance to educate people on the subject of AIDS as well as the dangers of heterosexual intercourse. A friend of mine said that what happened with Johnson could be a blessing in dis­ guise. I can't help but agree with him. Our society needed this type of scare, this type of man to instill a fear in us. Our society needs people like Magic John son to stand up and fight this disease. More than any­ thing our kids need to see a man of Johnson's stature fighting this killer. On Thursday, Nov. 7, Magic Johnson made one of the best moves in his career. Let's hope he can win the game. Do not exclude Boone Resident angered by Quinn regulation (vfcr faipfefoexjto To the Editor: I graduated from Appalachian State University in December 1990.1 have been a resident of Boone since 1975 and continue to reside here. Since it has been less than a year since I have graduated, I have several friends still in school at ASU. It disturbs me that I am barTed from visiting the Quinn Center as a guest of any of my friends. I find it even more disturbing that this facility is supported by student fees which I have contributed, in part, through my five years in school at ASU. I fully understand that as a stateowned facility, the Quinn is not allowed to compete with local businesses. I also understand that due to abuse from my fellow residents of Boone, that more stringent regulations are in order. But is it not ridiculous to exclude alumni based merely upon residency? As a graduate from Watauga High, one of the factors contributing to my decision to attend ASU was being able to visit the facilities with friends already enrolled. Are you now trying to discourage residents of Boone from attending Appalachian? As a local resident, I know how much the community gives to Appalachian. But as an alumnus, I also know how much ASU has contributed to Boone. Boone and Appalachian have a mutualistic association. The two "communities" have, in the past at least, been working on bettering their relationship. Are you now trying to dissolve this? On a more personal side, I am very angered by my alma mater's requests that I continue giving money for the betterment of a place I am not allowed to visit.

POLICY PROHIBITING SEXUAL HARASSMENT Sexual harassment is considered to be a form of discrimination based on sex and falls within the scope of institutional policies and procedures regarding discrimination. As with other forms of dis­ crimination, the University is committed to maintaining a work and a study environment free of sexual harassment. Accordingly, in compliance with Section 703 of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, the University will not tolerate any verbal, nonverbal, or physical behavior which constitutes sexual harassment. Personnel with supervisory responsibilities are required to take immediate and appropriate corrective action when incidents of alleged sexual ha­ rassment are brought to their attention by students, faculty and staff, and applicants for student admission or applicants for employ­ ment.

IV study was conducted partly be0t of a reported rise in racial incidents (college campuses. Data was obtained Run 20 historically black and 20 (ijominantly white institutions. Survey (slionnaires were mailed to 15,000 dents, and almost 5,000 students re- According to the SREB study, only 28 percent of the students who responded thought that admissions counselors had described accurately the types of ex­ periences they have encountered at col­ lege. Harry Williams, assistant director of admissions at Appalachian, said that mi­ nority students know what to expect when they come to ASU. "When you apply to ASU, you know it is a predominantly white school," said Williams. "Although some students do react in a sense of disbelief when they arrive, they shouldn'tbe shocked because I tell them exactly what to expect." Some students are shocked that they are sometimes the only black student in a classroom, but when the percentage of black students at ASU is taken into ac­ count, it should not be surprising, accord­ ing to Williams. African Americans comprise 4.5 per­ cent of all Appalachian students. Trans­ lated into actual numbers, close to 600 black graduate and undergraduate stu­ dents attend ASU. Thirty-two percent of black students on predominantly white campuses who re­ sponded agree that the administration has made a special effort to help black students along. According to Williams, ASU is a college that is conscious of minorities. "ASU is very unique because there is a level of concern for minority groups on campus,"said Williams."If there was not, there wouldn't be organizations such as the Black Gospel Choir or the Black Stu­ dent Association." Eighty-five percent of the black stu­ dents on predominantly white campuses said that more consideration should be given to black student interests. ASU is ahead of many other schools in the North Carolina system as far as efforts that have been made to consider minori­ ties, according to Williams. According to the SREB study, blacks are still experiencing verbal attacks and other acts that discourage their participa­ tion in and graduation from college. Williams, who has been at Appala­ chian for eight years, first as a student, and now as the assistant director of admis­ sions, said that in the entire time he has been here, he has only experienced one case where someone referred to him in a derogatory manner. Williams said he Students thinks that one reason ASU does not have many blatant racial issuesis because there is a small number of black students on the ASU campus. "There's no dominant threat for mi­ norities to really come in and take over at ASU," said Williams. "I think that the climate at ASU is warm and receptive. There may be one or two students at Appalachian that resent blacks, but the majority of the students are friendly." According to the SREB study, students seem to be open-minded toward relations between the races. The majority of the students that responded to the survey however, do not think that interracial dat­ ing is generally accepted on their cam­ puses. Williams said he thinks that the major­ ity of ASU students are open-minded and Older students return surveyed By GRETCHEN WEBER Appalachian Staff Writer L_ While Appalachian State University's enrollmentof non-traditionalstudents may be small, these students earn higher grade point averages than the typical student, said JoeWatts, director of admissions and enrollment services. A non-traditional student can be de­ fined as someone who has not had any formal education for at least four years. "Universities that typically attract large numbers of non-traditional students are often located in big cities," Watts said, adding that this is becausethey are located in population centers. lylOANNA EMMONS Appalachian Staff Writer Atat four weeks ago questionnaires '•m flic town of Boone were sen t to all tataofBoone including Appalachian pit students.

"Even though peoplesay they are openminded, you'll always get that second look from people if you are in an interra­ cial dating relationship," said Williams. According toWilliams, the key to over­ coming prejudice is to be open-minded and not to think of everything as a racial issue. "We are all human beings, and we all have thesame needs and the same wants," said Williams. "I think that race is really not a big issue with people who are com­ fortable with themselves."

Appalachian Photo by Troy Horacfc NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS PROVIDE DIFFERENT OUTLOOK TO UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY: ASU nontraditional student Brian Billow prepares for one of his classes. Billow recently returned to school after retiring from his job with IBM to major in business management. Non-traditional students usually try to get their education in the towns they live in, said Watts. This is more convenient to the student who may have children, a job or a spouse. Although ASU's enrollment depends on students between the agesof 18 and 22, the non-traditional student is an integral part of the student body, Watts said. Appalachian has an admissions policy that isgeared towards the older students in which the normal admission standards are waived, Watts said. S.A.T. scores and grades are not as important when select­ ing non-traditional students. Watts said this policy allows access to students that are a little older than average and usually more mature. Two non-traditional students, Brian Billow, a 53-year-old ASU student and Cindee Pratt, a 34-year-old Appalachian student, talked about the advantages of being older students as well as the pres­ sures to play dual roles. Billow recently retired from I.B.M., where he worked for 28 years. Although he could not afford college when he was younger, he said it has always been his dream. Billow is majoring in business man­ agement and would like to own his own business. "Whether I open a business or not, I think I'll be a better person for it (for attending college) and will understand the world a little better," said Billow. Pratt transferred to Appalachian from the College of Charleston.She left college when she was younger to raise her chil­ dren but has since returned to college because she wants to teach on a junior college level. Appalachian is making efforts to sup­ port non-traditional students, said Watts. Day-care services are offered by the Uni­ versity, course offerings are fairly flex­ ible and older students are given the op­ portunity to interact with each other. "Sometimes there'sa tendencyif you 're in a minority, like they are, to feel on the outside, and we want to make them feel as much at home here as we can,"said Watts. There are psychological difficulties that a non-traditional student must face. They often face loneliness because of the age gap, according to Billow. However, he said students at Appalachian have been nice and accepting, which makes iteasier. Pratt agrees. "I think the kids were more welcoming here than they were at the college of Charleston. I never feel like an outsider." Pratt said there is more pressure on her, being an older student, because she has dual roles. "I have to be Mom, wife, and student too, and sometimes it's hard to balance it all." She also feels she is more serious about her education than many other students because she knows from experience how valuable it is. Another difficulty thatanon-traditional student must face is that while traditional students right out of high school still have the things they learned fresh in their minds, a non-traditional student has more diffi­ culty recalling those tilings. In addition, certain subjects, such as math, are always changing. Non-tradi­ tional students may not have the advan­ tage of learning the most recent develop­ ments in these subjects. Recently, a program was started to help non-traditional students financially. The Second Start program offers scholarships to students 30 years of age or older who are enrolled in a degree program at a credited university. The scholarships, which are available to full time or part time students, awards 10 $1,000 scholar­ ships.

The housing increases will help pro­ vide for new construction which will in­ clude building an enclosure between Gardner and Coltrane Residence Halls. This will provide a larger lobby for these two halls. Other improvements will include re­ pairs on Justice Residence Halland eleva­ tor work. To accomplish this, housing costs will be raised 18 percent. Students who are interested in voic­ ing their opinion on these increases may talk to their senate representative or come by the offices in Workman Hall.The final vote will be in the senate meeting on Nov. 26. Dr. James Strom, vice chancellor for university advancement, also spoke about the ASU Foundation. The foundation, which has 16.5 million dollars in total assets, also controls the endowments foT scholarships. Theseendowments total 12.6 million dollars. If a student has a problem or an idea about the use of these funds, they should speak with the foundation. Lastly, Homecoming T-shirts are still on sale at a reduced price, and the food drive will continue to take place until Christmas break.

University housing By RANDALL REININK Appalachian Staff Writer includes residence halls and the Moun­ taineer apartments. The senate then had a heated debate over changes of office hours. The pro­ posed changes had no set numberof hours the faculty member would be required to hold. Some faculty reasoned that a set number of hours would be unfair and unprofessional. Others debated that some system of accountability was needed. After over half an hour's debate, a compromise was made. The current change reads: "Each faculty member is required to schedule regular and suffi­ cient office hours at time convenient to students and to determine these hours with his/her department chairperson." Finally, the Welfare and Morale com­ mittee put a policy recommendation up for voteconcerning smoking in university academic buildings.On behalf of the Fac­ ulty Senate, the policy urges the Chancel­ lor to institute smoke free environments in all academic and administrative build­ ings. "This is only a recommendation," said Dr. McLaughlin. 'It only affects fac­ ulty areas.

Currently, minori­ ties make up 10 percent of the campus. Yet prejudice remains a problem on college campuses. In any given academic year, one in four minority (students)indicate they have been victimized in some way. That is 800,000 to a million students—blacks, Jews, Asians, Hispanics. If you asked gays the same question, it would be higher, said Adele Terrell, program di­ rector for the National Institute Against Prejudice and Violence. Many Americanstudents confront their own attitudes about race issues for the first time when they arrive on campus. "For the first time in our history,"says Raymond Mac, professor of sociology at Northwestern University, "We've been putting black and white young people in open competition (for) dates, mates, pub­ lic office, schooling and jobs. Race serves the same function as different uni­ forms." While incidents of prejudice and big­ otry, increasingly referred to as "ethnoviolence," continue to occur on America'scollege campuses, officials say there is a corresponding outcry against them. In the past several years, administrators have tackled the problem of freshmen retention by adding race-awareness films, workshops and seminars to orientation programs. Some schools bring in outside teams designed specifically to train stu­ dent leaders to deflect ethnic jokes, inci­ dents and behavior. "While there does seem to be an in­ crease in the reporting of (racial) inci­ dents, there has been a massive increase of commitment to do something about it," says Cherie Brown, director of the Na­ tional CoalitionBuilding Institute, aWashington, D.C., organization that teaches prejudice reduction training. The coalition, whichoriginally focused on black/Jewish relations on campus, now sponsors "welcoming diversity" programs at 120 campuses throughout the country. "We have been on campuses since 1980," says Brown. "Back then, maybe a chap­ lain would call us if we were lucky. Now the chancellor or president calls." In the past, when minority students were the targets of prejudice, whether physical, or in more subtle forms, there was scant support available. Now, many "We will not condone forms of harrassment," she says. Austin points out that some students, because of limited exposure to other cultures, are unaware that they are making offensive remarks. "I've heard them say, 'Why are they get­ ting upset over this word?' Sometimes they are surprised and horrified. We can­ not assume there is an intention to hurt." A recent storm of controversy at the University of Kansas at Lawrence, swirled around student senate president Danen Fulcher, who is black, and reports that he assaulted a white woman in February. The Fulcher incident has caused stu­ dents and faculty to reflect on political correctness and freedom of the press. According to a Knight-Ridder newspaper story, manyon the campus acknowledged underlying racial tension. University officials, however, say they have made strides in recent years to bring a greater awareness of cultural differ­ ences and don't see the incident as having racial overtones. "The university has a very active program to encourage broader cultural diversity," says Robin Eversole, director of university relations.

More than 63 percent of colleges sur­ veyed recently—with total population exceeding 15,000—had race awareness programs during orientation, said Diane Austin, historian of the National Orienta­ tion Directors Association and assistant dean of student affairs at Bentley College in Waltham, Mass. In 1989, 47 percent offered such programs. Incoming students at Bentley watch a film entitled "Ethnoviolence," which was produced by the University of Maryland and features re-enactments of actual cam­ pus incidents. The film depicts not only incidents with racial overtones but gay/ lesbian issues as well.

The band opened for the Rockafellas (now the Jupiter Coyote Band) last year and performed on theirown the next night. Anyone who witnessed the throwdown that took place will definitely agree that this is the best band to hit Boone in a long time. The rock-funk side of the music fea­ tures Stan Pillis on guitar, Etienne Lytle on Keyboard, percussionist Ivan Katz and Wayne Hammond on bass. This solid rythm section provides the underlying driving pulse that is accented by the horn section and pulled together by lead vocal­ ist Miriam Phifer. ght. f New York City's leading uninds, The Second Step, will play nd Friday at Sollecito's. Boone gmmed full of bands this week­ By the end of the night the waitpersons, bouncers and even Mr. Sollecito had moved onto the floor to dance. The music can be divided into two genres: Rock-Funk and Ethno-Funk. Mark Henry. Tim Champeaux and Josh Rabinowitz make up the scream­ ing horn section which is featured more in the ethno-funk side of the band's sound. LWIAM PURCELL iLachian Diversions Editor The band creates energy on the stage. Lead singer, Miriam Phifer often comes down into the audience, getting everyone into the show. The band has gone through several changes since their last performance in Boone. New managementand anew drum­ mer are the biggest changes, but the band has finished recording a new tape and have been aired on MTV. The band is kicking off a Southern tour in Boone. From Boone the band will travel to Georgia and make its way to Florida. "We are hitting the road to push our new tape. We are basically going to hit seven cities including Boone. We really liked Boone when we played there last year and really liked playing in Sollecito's. That's why we decided to stan things off here," said trumpeter Tim Champeaux. The Second Step contains a talented well-experienced core of musicians. Mem­ bers of the band have worked with and played with a long list of musicians in­ cluding the folio wing: Chaka Khan.

The final selection is the Glee Club's signature tune "Brothers, Sing On!" Dur­ ing this song all former Glee Club mem­ bers are invited to sing along on stage. The ASU Glee Club is one of the most popular organizations in the music de­ partment. Its popularity is perhaps attrib­ uted to the group's ability to create a stage presence and entertain audiences. Baritone Jared Metzger said, "Many students are attracted to the Glee Club because it is a vocal ensemble that does not require its members to have a major in voice. People also enjoy singing pieces in several very different and contrasting styles." The Glee Club is more than just a vocal ensemble. There is a certain bond be­ tween its members that can be easily felt and shared. Sophomore RobbCarrington said "There is a brotherhood between the members of thegroup that many ensembles do not get the opportunity to develop." Director Philip Paul holds a Doctor of Education degree from the University of Georgia and is a professor of MusicTheory and Applied Hom. Tne Men's Glee Club is accompanied by Robert Shane Jenkins and is assisted by Dr. H. Max Smith on the organ.

THURSDAY, November 14.1991 Apps can clinch Assistant Sports There are some things in life that really, truly ocite me. Most of those things are mere figments of my imagination, occurrences I wish would happen but probably won't. For instance, a reunion Led Zeppelin tour or ,date with a bikini-clad Kathy Ireland. There is one thing, however, that excites me just as much as those two dreams that I can unfailingly count on every year. When the weather turns cold and the ground becomes frozen, I invariably look forward to ihistruly special, once-a-vear happening. No, I in not talking about Christmas. am talking about the start of a sports season inown coast to coast and locker room to locker mom simply as college hoops. Yes, college basketball is back, and I (along with CBS, ESPN, every true American and every recession-plagued sports bar in the land) unready. What is it about this sport that has so captivated sports fans across the nation? What is it that has made tickets to the crowning event otthis sport, the Final Four, the most sought aitet sports tickets in the nation? Maybe it's the fact that in the often-gloomy "orltiofwars, homelessness and unemploy­ ment we live in, it's wonderful to be able to watch 18-21-year-old kids hustle and scrap and, more importantly, have fun. While NBA players try to just endure, or tater yet, survive the rigors of an 82-game season, college basketball players play every (me like it's their last.

The Mountaineers can clinch the Southern Conference championship Saturday with a win at Western Carolina or a Citadel loss to E T S U. Mountaineer grapplers primed for season By BRIAN LAYH Appalachian Staff Writer The 1991-92 Appalachian State wrestling sea­ son will begin on Nov. 19 when the squad holds its annual Black and Gold Match at 7 p.m. in Varsity Gymnasium. ASU Head Coach Paul Mance, entering his 16th season at the Mountaineer helm, has 10 reluming lettermen from last season's team that compiled an 11-6 overall record and finished second in the Southern Conference Tournament. "We've got a lot of good kids coming back and have some really competitive freshmen and trans­ fers as well." Mance said. "We feel like we're going to have a very good team." Perhaps the most exciting returning wrestler is senior Adrian Hines who won 28 of 34 matches for an 82.4 winning percentage last sea­ son. "Adrian is probably our strongest returning starter. He is a two time national qualifier and was ranked in the top 15 in the country at the150 pound weight class last season." Mance said. Another senior who is coming off an outstand­ ing year is Bill Baker. Baker, who wrestled at both the 158 and 167 pound classes, went 20-11-1 overall and finished second in the Southern Con­ ference Toumev. "Billy Baker did a good job for us last year, and we expect a lot out of him this year. He is an excellent wrestler," said coach Mance. As a freshman, Chad Collins earned a 16-8 overall mark and is expected to be a force for the Mountaineers on the mat this season. "Chad won quite a few matches with big moves last year, so he may have a tougher season. Buthe's a really aggressive wrestler, and he's a very lough kid," Mance said. Another importantcontributor to coach Mance's squad in the 91-92 campaign will be junior transfer Donnel Rawls. Rawls won the Division II national championship while wrestling for Winston-Salem State University last year. The 126-pounder from Spring Lake will try to fill the void created by the absence of graduated national qualifier Jevon Morris. "Donnell has an incredible work ethic.I think he could have an outstanding year, and I'm really looking forward to seeing him perform," Mance said. The University ofTennessee-Chattanooga domi­ nated the Southern Conference Tournament last year and is favored by many to repeat this season. "UTC has eight or nine returning starters com­ ing back, and they are going to be tough, but we'll see what happens when we go to Tennessee in February," Mance stated. After the Black and Gold Match next Tuesday, ASU travels to Chapel Hill for the Carolina Open on Nov. 23 and then hosts Carson-Newman on Dec. 4 at 2 p.m. followed by a home match against Liberty University at 7 p.m. on Dec. 6.

Appalachian competed against GeorgiaTech, EastTennessee State and Wake Forest in the tournament, which featured a round-robin format. Point totals were kept to determine placings, with six points awarded for a win, three points for a tie, one point for a shutout and one point for each goal scored, up to three total. ASU blanked ETSU, 3-0, in the first game of the tournament. After a scoreless first half, the Lady Apps came out strong in the second half. Goals were scored by Colleen Aldridge, Amy Hart and Erica Freas. Game two of the tournament matched the Lady Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech against Wake Forest, with the Lady Dea­ cons coming out on top by a 3-0 margin. The Lady Mountaineers then took on Georgia Tech and scored a solid, 5-0 vic­ tory over the Lady Jackets. Hart, Shelley Oberle and Laura Dean Goodwin each tallied a goal for the Lady Apps, while Melissa Gibson notched two scores. OnSunday, Wake Forest pulled out a 10 win over ETSU in the most closely contested match of the tourney. Georgia Tech then wrapped up third in the tourna­ ment with a 2-0 defeat of the Lady Bucca­ neers. The final match of the tournament pit­ ted Wake Forest against ASU. The Lady Apps, with Freas and Hart scoring goals, took home the championship trophy with a 2-0 win. This was the second consecu­ tive year the Lady Apps have won the tournament. All-toumament designations went to Gibson, Oberle and Freas. Wake's Jen­ nifer Olson was named Most Valuable Player. "All of our players could have been named to the All-Toumament team," ASU Head Coach Bob Goddard said. "Every­ one contributed to our success. This was the best sustained effort put forth this year, and I was very excited and proud about our team's accomplishments."

Remem­ ber when it was not so difficult to believe in things we couldn't see or control and not be frightened? They were good times, weren't they? And then we learned to live in the world with open eyes, and we saw there were too many things that we couldn't see and couldn't control that could hurt or kill us. Suddenly it became imperative to be able to control and regulate. It was necessary for us to stop believing in magic and begin believing in fear of those things we thought could control and regulate our lives. Why does this come to mind? I'm not entirely sure.

The appropriate nickname suddenly be­ came a tragic correlation: even Magic is not immune to disaster. Even heroes die. Of course, I am probably being more morbid than I ought; of course I must ask myself as I write this if I am really willing to make as much of this as my evil muse seems to think I can. And, of course, the temptation is simply too strong for me to resist. The temptation is strong because I can remember the name echoing down the hallways of my youth resound­ ingly: Magic. The man? Never knew anything about the man. He was a monolith, a great gothic icon of what was possible, a symbol of excellence and triumph. Not being a sports fan, never having been a sports fan, I took it for granted: a god walked the earth under the guise of a lanky man who could make magic. Thus the name: Magic. On the few occasions when I saw him play, half­ heartedly glancing up at the television over my desk or from the back of some small bar, usually I saw nothing special about him—just alanky man chasing a ball up and down the court. Every once in a while, though, there would be that moment when I would hear the crowd surge, and I would look up to see the lightning flash and the flesh pumping and the stem, august, pained look of concentra­ tion, and then I could see it, the magic, and, at least for a moment, it was real. Real enough to believe in. Of course, it wasn't anything I relied on. Unlike my friends —who have almost always been uniformly sports fans —I didn't hang graven images of the icon onmy walls and didn't plan my days around televised games or cham­ pionship playoffs. I didn't have what they had for Magic Johnson: the madness of the monks. My world was one of words, and I was destined to be cut off from the full force of the magic. Those around me who lived and breathed the sport could now tell me that I was wrong about their fervor: Johnson wasn't a god to them. Just a saint. Sometimes it amounts to the same thing. For when a saint violates the faith, when a saint fails, what then do we say to God? Last night when I heard the news the first words out of my mouth were the only ones I could imagine myself saying: "Jesus Christ." That's right. That's the way to do it. When one deity falls, call on another. I spent a lot of time thinking about it. I didn't care so much for the man— as I said, I never knew the man— or even for the sport, as I did for my own sense of grief over the fall of the symbol. I wanted someone to tell me that it was all right, that since I didn't believe in this magic I wasn't accountable for its failure. I wantedsomeone to tell me that it was just a game and a trick of semantics that was making me feel like something very wrong had happened and would bring doom just as sure as the fall of any other god would. I wanted someone to tell me that I could get out of it if I tried. I tried, and I cannot.That flash of recognition burned a spot on my cornea, and even when I close my eyes I know it's there. The connection is too strong: magic and fear. The icon Johnson and the newest and deadliest and most shameful unseen destroyer known to man. The ultimate controller, and the ultimately uncontrollable doom. Is this society thai sick? Would the gods really send doom on us in this form? I do not know. It wouldn't be the first time, however, that our semantic system turned on us and tore a hunk of flesh out of us simply as a warning of the doom to come. Then again, as I said, I am making more out of this than I ought to. Doom-saying isn't really my style. It's not often that I see a place where I can say "Look out! The beast approaches!" Not with a straight face, anyway. And now it's about time to stop listening to my evil muse and let the good muse come in to tell you that the proceeding was simply an effort to conjure some dark humor and perhaps stir up a little fear. Don't get me wrong: not all of what I said was in jest. I don't believe in prophesy or doom or even in gods of any kind. But I do believe that we should watch out for little semantic tricks, the ironies of life that ought to make us sit up and take stock of ourselves and our world and the way we have constructed both by a combination of belief and control. I can tell you one thing positively though: it had better be a long time before we nickname anyone something as close to disaster as "Magic." We had better remember that symbols are dangerous and that semantics can sometimes be as mean as a razor fight and twice as uncontrollable.

Football fan conduct at games questioned Crowds should be enthusiastic and avoid being critical whenever it is possible By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor The AppalachianState University foot­ ball team should be congratulated for a well-played season,ending the home por­ tion on an excellent note with the defeat over MississippiCollege at Homecoming last Saturday. In spite of weather so cold that it was necessary to wear one's thickest winter coat and then wrap up in a blanket, mak­ ing it very difficult to stand up and cheer ASU to its victory, Saturday's game drew a huge crowd of alumni, students and ASU supporters from the community. Sports fans and non-sports fans alikecame to show support for the university at its homecoming game and final game of the season. Later in the weekend, some friends and I sat in the Food Court discussing the game, both the outcome and the atmo­ sphere of it. None of us claim to be avid sports fans—each of us had been to at least one other home game but none of us had been to all of them, andnone of us had been to an away game. However, in spite of not being sports fans, we are ASU fans, and each of us did make the homecoming game. When I say we were discussing the atmosphere of the game, I mean there is more to a college football game than just the game.The weather plays an important factor, and as anyone who attended Satur­ day's game knows, the weather can be described in one word—"freezing." Also part of the atmosphere is the people, and one of the aspects of the game that my friends and Isat in the Food Court discuss­ ing was the conduct of some of the people at the game. Some people at the game were yelling a whole lot. That's fine—in fact, you're supposed to yell at football games. Yell­ ing "Go Mountaineers!" loud enough so the football players on the field can hear you is one of the best ways to show sup­ port for the team. The yelling I would complain about, however, is yelling at inappropriate times—for example, dur­ ing the national anthem, the alma mater, or the band performance. Maybe I'm being pessimistic, but it seems that people don't have much re­ spect for the National Anthem anymore. I would like to praise the people who did remain quiet and put their right hands on their hearts while the band played "The Star-Spangled Banner." However, some people did not even stand up during the anthem; some people carried on aconver­ sation while it was being played; and some people even had the nerve to have a shouting match. What happened to patrio­ tism? Yes, there are a lot of things wrong in America, and maybe you don't like the people in the government or how the gov­ ernment operates. But the United States still holds more opportunity than many other countries in the world, and it is still the country where citizens have the most freedom to follow their dreams,and that is something to be proud of. Making loud comments during the National Anthem shows disrespect for a country that de­ serves more praise than criticism. I will confess that I didn't hear anyone criticizing the band—my boyfriend and I were sitting directly behind the band dur­ ing Saturday's game, and those around us were avid band fans as we are. My friends informed me about people sitting around them on the other side of the stadium who were talking and shouting during the halftime show. For those people—the band has worked very hard this year, and if you can't find anything nice to say, please keep your comments to yourself so other people can enjoy the show. The same goes for those who criticize the football team. The ASU team is our team, and we should show our school spirit by finding something to praise about its performance even if the players are having a bad day,and cheering the team to the end even during a losing game. I During one complaint-session I held about the lude-comments people at foot­ ball games, one friend reminded me that it was cold on Saturday and, therefore, bloodalcohol content was high for many people. (This happens on warm Black Saturdays, too.) I am of the opinion that how much people drink is their business, and I won't judge or be critical. However, for those of For those of you who don't agree with you who do come to football games hav­ me that the United States is the best ing had a little too much, remember two country in the world—you have a right to things: one, many people around you are your opinion, but please don't make a sober and don't think that drinking gives loud public display of youi dislike for you an excuse to be crude or loud during America during the playing of the na­ the national anthem or halftime show; and tional anthem at a football game.Those of two, please don't leave yourliquor bottles us who do have respect for America want lying all over the place. to be able to show that respect without For those groups who reserve seats in being interrupted by loud uncalled-for the stadium—it is fine that groups want to comments. sit together and therefore make sure they The ASU Marching Band deserves can sit together even though they arrive at much praise for its excellent performance different times.

Ikmachine was not self-supporting, Ilk manpower required to operate equipment was detracting from employee's other job duties, said q Foster, assistant mail center man- "We have to keep up with our mail delivery. It had become more of a burden than an advantage to us," Foster said. Use of the fax machine varied from day to day, but in the two years the post office offered fax service, $3,700 was made, Foster said. Charge for the fax service was $3 per page, which Foster said was a price com­ parable to most businesses. If the service had been continued, Foster said the post office would have had to charge $7 or $8 per fax to make the service self-support­ ing. "We hated to take out the fax machine. We've had several calls expressing dis­ satisfaction, but we can't do anything. Somebody's got to pay for it (fax)," Fos­ ter said. The fax was used primarily by depart­ ments, but students used it as well, Foster said. He said that several departments used the machine regularly. Due to continuing budget constraints and last year's deployment of troops to Saudia Arabiafor Operation Desert Storm, the post office lost several positions and cut their window hours by two hours daily. While the soldiers are back to work at the post office, which Foster said employs 21 ASU students, the budget crunch is continuing, and the work load has in­ creased for post office employees. Foster attributes this increase to the publication of student postoffice box num­ bers along with phone numbers in the Appalachian directory. He said this in­ creases the amount of people on mailing lists, thus increasing circulation. The budget also may have adversely affected the fax, since people are becom­ ing more thrifty, Foster said. "A lot of things around campus are not what they used to be. Things are more user-oriented now. With the budget the way it is, people aren't going to do things they did. They are turning their resources in other areas," Foster said. Several departments on campus own their own fax machines, but they are not open to the public. Foster said since the post office discontinued its service, it has received several calls from the depart­ ments with fax machines, requesting the department names not be released. Before the post office began offering fax service, Belk Library had provided fax service to the public, but after the post office fax opened, the library discontin­ ued its service, said University Librarian Richard T. Barker. The library has no plans to reinstate its service, according to Barker. As for an alternative to match the post office's convenient fax service, Foster said that it seems unlikely. "I don't know of any place that's going to be as convenient as we were," he said. 3id oncerns expressed Quinn changes rules Merit messages convey attitudes New guideline for guests established world peace?" and "What I want is only to be me!" were also among the group's concerns.

Due to state legislation, the Umstead Act, state facilities cannot compete with local businesses. Because of this, the Quinn Center has adopted more stringent guide­ lines about out-of-town guests. Sherry Crane, Fitness and Facilities Coordinator, stated,"At one time, we had a problem with Boone residents asking students to sign them in as guests so that these non-students can use the facility. This caused a large problem with over­ Kppmmcnmn HTtoto By Hantaan HMranK crowding, and it was unfair to the stu­ QUINN CENTER IMPOSES GUEST RESTRICTIONS: ASU students may still dents.

Other restrictions limit the number of guests a student can host. To be admitted, guests must provide proof that they are from out-of-town, and students are allowed three guests per se­ mester. When the guidelines were first imple­ mented, Vice Chancellor for Student De­ velopment David Mclntire stated: "We felt that this policy will enable all students to use the Quinn Center without fear of being turned away because of overcro wdedness. We were concerned that the facility was not available to students as often as it needs to be." Currently, the Quinn Center, which employs 110 students, serves 1400-1500 people daily, Monday through Thursday. Average weekend use is lower at about 700 people per day. Before these restric­ tions were implemented, about100 guests used the facility daily. The Quinn Center also provides many programs for its visitors. The facility ofSee QUINN page 4 Center dedication fulfills man's life focus Sustainable Development Program dedicated in honor of late Father Thomas Cowley By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor The Sustainable Development program dedicated its resource center in honor of the late Father Thomas Cowley on Nov. 4 in room 426 Sanford Hall. Cowley was a former associate dean and professor at Appalachian Stale Uni­ versity. In 1977 he founded the Ecumeni­ cal Project for International Cooperation, which promotes peace, disarmament, jus­ tice, human rights and the environment. Upon his death in 1988, Cowley left his personal library, containing hundreds of books and journals, to EPIC, who in turn donated the collection to the Sustainable Development program at ASU. According to Dr. Jeff Boyer of the anthropology department, theSustainable Development program began because the world is in the midst of an environmental and economic crisis, and the university should beconcerned with and reflect what is going on in the world. The program is concerned not only with the economic, environmental and political situations overseas but also on the home front. According to Boyer, the United States' own economy generates economic crisis. Undergraduates can obtain an interdis­ ciplinary studies minor in sustainable de­ velopment, and graduate students can obtain a concentration in the program. Available within the program is not only study but projects. For example, there are programs available in Honduras. Sustainable Development pro­ motes economic growth both overseas and in the United States while also promoting environmental and cultural protection. Programs help economi­ cally disadvantaged countries to grow financially while at the same time try­ ing not to undermine the culture of the people. Cowley wrote, "If ever there is to be an approach to a solution (of the world's problems), one must begin enlightening the public, more particularly the United States itself, about the myths and truths of the international community as it relates to the problems of war and inter­ national conflict, of human rights and of the development scene across the world." This is what the Sustainable Develop­ ment program tries to promote. Editor's note: For a more in-depth look at Father Thomas Cowley and the Nov. 4 dedication, see article on page 5. i �2.

Professor keeps job despite racial comments (CPS)—The trustees of the City Uni­ versity of New York have decided to allow the head of the Black Studies De­ partment at City College to remain in his position for one year despite racially in­ flammatory remarks he made last sum­ mer. The trustees said professor Leonard Jeffries will stay as head of the depart­ ment until June 1992. Usually, the chair­ manship lasts for a three-year term. City College did not issue a statement on the situation and would not comment. Neither Jeffriesnor his attorney, C. Vernon Mason, would return phone calls. Prior to the trustees' vote. Mason said he would challenge any limit on Jeffries' term as chairman. Jeffries outraged some city and state politicians in July when he told an audi­ ence at a black arts festival that Jews and the Italian Mafia worked together to con­ trol Hollywood and plotted to destroy black Americans. He also told the crowd, "the white boy can't be trusted." Students from several New York City schools rallied in supportof Jeffries while the trustees decided his fate Oct 28. A little more than a week before that d*t* the professor reportedly made more offensive comments to an editor at the Harvard Crimson. Eliot Morgan, the editor who has been bombarded with phone calls about the incident has not been available for com­ ment since an interview with New York Newsday, a student reporter at the Crim­ son said. According to thatNewsday story, Mor­ gan said Jeffriestold him that Henry Lewis Gates, Jr., chairman of Harvard's Afri­ can-American Studies Department was "a faggot and a punk," and accused a black professor at San Jose State Univer­ sity of having his opinions affected be­ cause his wife and mother are both white. Morgan added that Jeffries stopped the interview whenhe found out that the Crim­ son staff was predominantly Jewish. Newsday reported that a bodyguard took Morgan's tape of the interview, and Jeffries warned the student, "If I hear this again, I'll kill you." In a similar incident involving racial comments and a student newspaper, the University of Kansas on Oct.28 placed its affirmative action director on indefinite administrative leave after the Daily Kansan reported that Jim Turner, during an interview, referred to a woman as a fat Indian chick" and called a male law pro­ fessor "just a faggot anyway." The editor of the paper did not immedi­ ately return phone calls, nor did Turner, but according to an article in the local newspaper, the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld, Turner said the "a complete fabrication, andl'm ^ ing to reporters until I get t0 thefo ^ The Daily Kansan story ^ interview with Turner about his • involvement with a man arrested f* dering a40-year-old Lawrence, K ^ by beating him with a golf club TV*' accusedof the crime told police thatT crvlH Kim cocaine in i 'II sold him onoainn 1 a house whe^ beating later took place.

What if the woman has a class with the man who assaulted her? In some states, the law doesn't even include date rape as a criminal offense," Bracewell said. "Will the institution defer to the state if the state isn't going to re­ spond at all?" Bracewell said schools need to address criminal complaints because they affect the university communityin termsof cam­ pus safety and victims' rights to get an education without interference from the people who have committed criminal acts against them. Others disagree with the campus system's ability to handle criminal cases. "The goal of the campus judicial sys­ tem is...primarily to protect the interest of students. The criminal justice system fo­ cuses on punishing offenders," said Carol Bohmer, a sociology professor at Cornell University and a former attorney who is a national expert on date rape. She said that because schools try to afford equal protec­ tion to both the victim and the offender, punishments often do not fit the crimes. One problem in apy discussion of how campus judicial systems should operate is the fact that virtually no two systems are the same. "You'll find that they are anything but uniform," said Randy Bezanson, dean of the Washington and Lee School of Law and a national expert on constitu­ tional law. "The larger universities have more elaborate processes.The smaller lib­ eral arts schools are less elaborate, and their systems are more widely varying because the whole process reflects tradi­ tions." The systems that contrast most harshly are public and private, because public institutions must adhere to state and fed­ eral laws. In September, Liberty University ex­ pelled three seniors for worshiping at the United Pentecostal Church, a violation of a school policy. Although the school held a hearing on the matter and granted the students' appeals based on the school's rules, the students' First Amendment free­ dom of religion rights were ignored. Because Liberty is aprivate school, it is not bound by theConstitution, so the free dom of religion element of the case was not relevant But in Minnesota's case, the allega­ tions against the system, including a lack of a student's Fifth and 14th Amendment rights to due process—the right to trial by an impartial judge and jury,for example— are worthy of investigation because the school is bound by the Constitution. "The Constitution has a special bearing because we are a public university," Stecher said. The Minnesota students say that the school's director of the Office of Judicial Affairs, Betty Hackett, has unilateral power over a student's fate. "Say you get a letter accusing you of a crime," Stecher said. "You go see a coun­ selor, who is Betty Hackett. You talk to her and she makes a recommendation. She then becomes the prosecutor of your case, which goes into aclosed door hearing. She is not obligated to tell you during counsel­ ing that she will be prosecuting you." Hackett, who did not return telephone calls to her office, did tell the Minnesota Daily that, "I wouldn't be here if 1 didn't think this was a fair system."

November 12. 1991 Nicknames opposed (CPS)—To most sports fans it may seem like a simple, if at times irritating, way to deride opposing teams, but to some Native Americans, the tomahawk cheer is more like a personal foul. The cheer—which consists of arepeated karate chop motion and a war cry that could be straight from a Hollywood westem—was invented by Florida State Uni­ versity fans more than a decade ago, but reached its peak of popularity this year among followers of the pennant-winning Atlanta Braves. Native Americanactivists protested the Braves fad, labeling the cheer an offen­ sive stereotype thatpromotes the image of American Indians being savage. Because they were in the World Series, the Braves controversy earned widespread media coverage, but American Indian Movement member Jan Elliott said in­ sulting Indians is nothing new to college or professional sports. "It's just ridiculous," said Elliott, edi­ tor of Indigenous Thoughts, a national Native American newspaper. "Suppose people dressed uptheir mascots as Jewsor blacks or whatever. There would be a national outcry." Nicknames such as the"Braves" evoke inaccurate visions of warlike cultures, while "Redskins" is obviously a racial pejorative, Elliott argues. Of the 469 schools listed in the Ameri­ can College Regalia Handbook, more than two dozen have team names derived from Native American cultures, the most com­ mon moniker being simply the "Indians." One of those schools is Florida State, nicknamed the Seminoles, where games feature a mascot named after the tribe's 19th century leader. Chief Osceola. The mascot Osceola wears fearsome-looking warpaint and prowls thesideline on horse­ back, often with a burning spear. And, of course, his performance is ac­ companied by the crowd's enthusiastic tomahawk cheers. "Everyone does it now, but we did it first—there'sno doubt aboutit,"said Gerry Gilmer, an FSU spokesman. Gilmer said campus officials were aware of the recent complaints from American Indian fac­ tions, but he said his school has no plans to discourage the cheer. "We keep in veTy close touch with the Seminole tribe, and they haven'texpressed any problem with the cheer,"Gilmer said. "We aren't real interested in what the American Indian Movement says. It's the Seminoles who matter to us." Another campus where officials cite concern for input from Native Americans on matters of nickname portrayal is Mi­ ami University in Ohio,said RichardLittle, the school's associate vice president. "In our case, we work very closely with the Miami Indian tribe to make sure we portray them in a dignified and proper manner," said Little, whose school nick­ name is the "Redskins. Little said Miami University hassigned three treaties with its namesake tribe since 1972. each an agreement that he said ensures the 1,300 tribe members that their heritage will not be treated capri­ ciously. The university keeps a tight rein on any merchandising that portrays the school's nickname and the tribe also provides in­ put on the wardrobe and dances of the team mascot. Chief Miami. "And we ask our fans not to do the tomahawk cheer, although, you know, some still do," Little said."Overall there's a lot of pride that goes both ways between the university and the tribe.

By JESSICA SCHRIDER Appalachian Staff Writer What kind of class has a bank account and a chance to makea profit? How about a class offered by the College of Business known as MGT 4070? It is called Entrepreneurship, and this semester they are try ing tomake money by selling doormats. The class, offered every fall and spring semes­ ter, is set up like a small business. The 29 students are divided into several groups that deal with individual facets and problems of running a small business, including finance, marketing and pro­ duction. U1 mostly shirtless men. I'm The course is not just graded on attendance and participation, but also on how many doormats are sold. Because of this grading technique, the class members feel a strong need to at least break even. If, however, they do make a profit, the money will most likely go toward something that benefits the students. The class decided on doormats through a preliminary market survey. 'The product is widely accepted in the community; there is a big market (for doormats)," said Chip Cooper, the vice president of the marketing group in the club. This semester, Entrepreneurshiphas altered their selling procedures. Instead of pre-ordering their FreeHand Workshop product, they are taking orders and ordering the exact amount. "This way, we can offer more variety for the consumer and less overhead cost for us," said Cooper. Originally, the class had set up a table in the student union, but student response was not large enough to merit the space. They have now turned to door to door selling, which seems to be success­ ful. They have also posted flyers around campus and taken out an advertisement in The Appala­ chian newspaper. Bobby Elmore, the vice president of the produc­ tion group said sales are "promising.""Most of the sales are coming from family and friends, but '1 ' W "?!§ By KRISTINE FORREST Appalachian Staff Writer K I\ iiL^mPlaining.

"Tips" gives the servers helpful ways to politely deal with customers who have had too much to drink or who are attempting to illegally obtain alcohol in Legend's. One helpful hint suggested is to offer the person an O'Doul's drink. O'Doul's has been on the market since Decem­ ber ofl989. The promotion of the product is based on knowing when to say when. The drink gives an alternative to beer drinking. This social drink looks and tastes like beer, but if the participant is a drinker, the beverage gives a non-alcoholic option. Forester Beverages had three goals when pro­ moting "Let's Party": making students aware of how alcohol awareness products &n blend^with a drinking environment, offering O'Doul's as an­ other drink for those over 21 who choose not to drink and attempting to curb all drinking and driving incidents. The Surry County School Systems are trying to set up their own program to help with the problem of underagedrinking, explained Schubert. Anheuser Busch Inc. also started a spring break program that served coffee and doughnuts on highways leading to Florida. Schubert said that these programs are hoping to get students to "accept it ( responsible drinking) and then expand it to other students."The drinks at Legend's are free so students can taste for them­ selves whether the drink is similar to alcoholic beer. See FREEHAND page 6 selling door to door is working really well, too,"he added. The class meets two days a week, but it also requires much work outside of class. "We meet for about two and a half hours a week outside of class. We're basically on our own, so it requires a lot of planning," said Elmore. Is the class worth theextra time and effort?

The Anthropology Department and the Sustainable Development Program dedicated the Thomas Cowley Resource Center. The Anthropology Department and the Sustain­ able Development Program formally dedicated the Thomas Cowley Resource Center on Monday, Nov. 4. Many faculty members and Chancellor John Thomas were present for the ceremonies. The Resource Center was originally the idea of Father Thomas Cowley, a former ASU faculty member from 1975 to 1980 and a worldwide scholar and traveller. Most of the books in the new resource center are from his private collection. Cowley died in the fall of 1988. He worked at East Tennessee University in his later years. He founded the Ecumenical Project for International Cooperation, or EPIC, in 1978 with the help of the Dominican order of monks in France. Cowley even traveled to the Vatican, Washington D.C., Canada and the United Nations for EPIC. The organization, of which he was president from 1978 until his death, is now headquartered in North Newton, Kan. Current president Loren Raymond spoke of EPIC and of Father Cowley at the ReSee CENTER page 6 Recycling Bin Amnesty Club continuing world hope By KATE ROBINSON. Appalachian Staff Writer Amnesty International is an organization formed out of international concern for human rights that has been on our campus since 1989. The organization was founded in England in 1961 by lawyer Peter Beneson. His newspaper appeal "The Forgotten Prisoners" was internation­ ally published on May 28, 1961 and received 1,000 inquiries in support for an international campaign to protect human rights. In Amnesty International's first year it sent delegations to four countries and became involved in 210 cases. The principles of strict impartiality and independence were then established. Amnesty International members were to act on cases worldwide and not become involved in cases in their own countries. Amnesty International's activities focus on the release of prisoners of conr 1 '• - ' • M' M-«<aarw> science (peopledetained anywhere solely for their beliefs and origins who have not used or advocated violence), fair and prompt trials for all political prisoners and an end to torture andexecutions in all cases. Today, there are more than one million members, subscribers and regular donors in over 150 countries. Since its beginning in 1961, Amnesty Interna­ tional has adopted or investigated over 42,000 cases involving individuals or groups. Of these, more than 38,000 cases have been closed. This year Amnesty is celebrating its 30th Anni­ versary Campaign. As part of this campaign, the first major report has been issued on human rights violations against women: Women in the Front Line. The campus chapter's prisoner of the month is Fatima Abbas from Syria She was among 180 persons arrested by Syrian security forces between February and June 1986. Over 100 have been released, including 16 women said to have been arrested originally as hostages in lieu of male family members being sought by authorities. Some of the women released reported abuse in detention. Fatima issingle, worked as a laborer and is now 34 years old. She was arrested on April 27 1986. Since March of 1972, when President Hafez alAssad set up a coalition of political parties called the National Progressive Front, all parties which have not joined this Front have been prohibited, among them the Party for Communist Action. Fatima Abbas' brother was wanted by authorities for being a member of the PCA. She appears to be detained as aresult of her brother's political views. Amnesty has called for her immediate release unless she is promptly charged with an internation­ ally recognized offense. Amnesty International meets each Monday night at 7 p.m. in room 210 of Chapell Wilson to write letters to selected heads of states expressing con­ cern for these prisoners. �If what happened on your inside happened on your outside, would you still smoke?

MEDICAL • LEGAL • EMOTIONAL HELP The 10-year project begins this year in three Watauga County schools and will expand into the six counties belonging to Appalachian's Public School Partnership. The project's goals include theimprove­ ment of teaching and learning in the pub­ lic schools and marshalling private re­ sources to improve public education. Ap­ palachian, Southern Bell and AT&T are partners in "Impact North Carolina." The project is one of the first in the nation, and the first in the nine BellSouth states, to deliver interactive video, voice and data to schools through copper tele­ phone lines. "We arereaching rural schools through a technology that is in place," said Dr. James L. Strom, vice chancellor for uni­ versity advancement at Appalachian. "They need not wait for fiber optic, mi­ crowave or satellite technology to come to them." "Impact North Carolina is important to AT&T not only because of its unique appl ication of information technology, but because the use of this technology pro­ vides the means to improve the quality of education for our nation's children," said Cynl Matthews of AT&T. "This project was chosen for AT&T's support because improving the education of our teachers and children is strategic to our company's and country's global competitiveness." In its first phase the project will allow students and teachers at ParkwayElemen­ tary, Blowing Rock Elementary and Watauga High schools to interact with eachother and withstudents and faculty at Appalachian. Classes will also be able to tap into global computer communications networks. The project also provides public school teachers with continuing education, stu­ dent teachers with immediate feedback from their supervisors on the Appala­ chian campus and education majors with experience with the latest distance learn­ ing techniques. Appalachian contributes to "Impact North Carolina"its nationally recognized Reich College of Education, its awardwinning Public School Partnership and faculty expertise.

EPIC's present major project concerns child refugees, but, in general, the organization strives to increase international peace, respect for human rights and compassion for the less fortunate. Kenneth Webb, a colleague and close friend of Cowley's, remembered him as a "genuine intellectual in the European tra­ dition" who knew a lot about a wide vari­ ety of things. Webb went on to say that Father Cowley was very good with words and excelled at games like Scrabble. He spoke of Cowley as a very enjoyable per­ son to be around. He always had proper tea and cookies and was able to captivate children with his stories of animals. He had a world view of important matters and sincerely strove to promote human rights across the globe. Chancellor Thomas spoke of the im­ portance of the Cowley Resource Center as an attraction for ASU's international programs. It is certain that foreign profes­ sors and students will consider the Re­ source Center, which is a feature unique to this university, as yet another reason to come to Boone. The Resource Center is well-stocked with Father Cowley's personal books, which he donated for this purpose. The center also contains some volumes do­ nated by other benefactors. The subject matter of these books ranges from the anthropological to the political to the env ironmental. Dancing Moon, a KingStreet bookstore, was on hand at the dedication with books for sale that could be donated to the Resource Center's collection.

The Juggler Your Mother Warned You About" Mark Nizer �\ SPORTS Magic in tough fight By SHEA GRIFFIN Appalachian Sports Editor It has been nearly a week, and the shock has yd to wear off. Birvin Johnson, known simply as "Magic" to jullions of fans worldwide, announced last Thursday that he was retiring from the NBA Because he has contracted the HIV virus, which leads to AIDS. The sports world has lost one of its biggest jhowmen and classiest performers to a disease mainly associated with homosexuals and intravenous drug users. Johnson is easily the most recognizable face to contract the disease since movie star Rock Hudson died of the virus in 1985. However, it appears as if Johnson has contacted the HTV virus through heterosexual activity, while Hudson was infected through homosexual relations. "This is one of those things you think can't happen to you, but it can," Johnson said during his press conference. "Sometimes you're a little naive about it, and you think it can only happen to other people. But it has happened, and my life will go on." The thing that struck me the most during his press conference was that the trademark smile, I rhkhMigic is famous the world over for, was till present on his face. Here was a man whose attire livelihood had just been taken away from him, yet he still found reason to smile. Just a day after his press conference, Johnson "tide a special appearance on the "Arsenio Hall Show" and again displayed the courage and so few men in his situation could have displayed. Idon't want anybody to feel sorry for me," 'ttason told a nationwide audience. "If I die hmorrow, I've lived the greatest life that anyone could ever hope to live." Johnson had been suffering from flu-like tynptoms for several weeks and failed to see *y action during the Lakers opening games of JcNBA campaign. He was diagnosed as tng the HIV virus after taking a routine physical examination for a life insurance policy.

Appalachian Staff Reports Marshall quarterback Michael Payton returned to action Saturday against The Citadel after miss­ ing two straight games due to illness and passed for 331 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Thun­ dering Herd to a 37-31 comeback victory. The win upped Marshall's record to 6-3 overall and 3-2 in the Southern Conference while the Bulldogs fell to 5-4 and 3-2. The Citadel, which entered the contest tied for first in the conference with Appalachian State, led 24-16 at half time and 31-22 in the fourth quarter before Payton directed the Thundering Herd on two long touchdown drives to pull out the victory and keep the Herd's playoff hopes alive while dimming those of the Bulldogs. Payton, who was forced to miss two straight games with an intestinal disorder, completed 23 of Georgia Tech nips Furman Furman blew a 17-10 lead in the last three minutes against Georgia Tech to drop a non-con­ ference contest in Atlanta, 19-17.

The last-minute, game-winning kick was the fifth of Sisson's career. After Greg Lester hauled in Jones' scoring toss with 3:04remaining, the Paladins stopped Jones on a quarterback draw on the two-point conversion attempt. • Griffin is a senior communica- However, on Furman's next possession Georgia Tech's Marlon Williams forced Paladin quarter­ back Hugh Swilling to fumble. Coleman Rudolph recovered for the Jackets toset upSisson's heroics. To make matters worse for Furman, Swilling, the top-rated passer in Division I-AA, broke his wrist on the fumble and will miss the rest of the season for the Paladins. Keydets down Western in thriller Western Carolina tailback Kevin Thigpen was tackled at the VMI three-yard line by linebacker Camillus Musselman with no time remaining to ensure the Keydets' 27-25 Southern Conference victory in Lexington, Va. Frank Wilder's one-yard touchdown plunge gave VMI a 27-19 lead with 48 seconds remaining. On Western's firstplay from scrimmage after the kickoff, Derrick Harris hit Kerry Hayes on a 46-yard pass to move the ball down to the Keydet 30. Five plays later, Thigpen scored from the one to trim the lead to two points. After recovering the ensuing onside kick, the Catamounts moved the ball into field goal range before Thigpen was stopped just short of the goal line. Moccasins swamp ETSU in fourth quarter Albert Luke's 55-yard interception return for a touchdown with eight minutes left gave Tennes­ see-Chattanooga a 29-26 lead over East Tennessee State, and the Mocs poured it on from there to win 43-26 in Johnson City, Tenn. The Buccaneers are still winless in the Southern Conference at 0-5 and 1-8 overall. UTC, still in the hunt for a playoff bid, is now 3-2 in the SC and 63 overall.

Marshall, which lost to ASU 2-1 earlier in the season, downed the Apps 3-1 to end Appalachian's season at 7-10-1. Appalachian State wrapped up its 1991 soccer season with a loss to Marshall in the semifinals of the Southern Conference tournament Saturday in Greensboro. The loss ended the Mountaineers' season at 7-10-1. The 3-1 Thundering Herd win, in cold, rainy weather conditions, avenged an earlier 2-1 loss to the Apps in Kidd Brewer Stadium and moved Marshall into the championship game against Furman. "We beat them 2-1 in Kidd BrewerStadium, and we played very well in that game," ASU Head Coach Art Rex said."In the tournament, the weather conditions were less than optimal. It was cold and rainy, and I think the conditions helped Marshall. They were very opportunistic and took advantage of their scoring chances, and we did not." Junior striker David Terry got Appalachian off to a quick start, scoring on a set play off an indirect free kick less than six minutes into the contest. Bobby Martin was credited with the assist. The free kick came in the Marshall penalty box after goalkeeper Ryan Payne was called for double possession in the box. Twelve minutes later, Marshall had tied the score when Mike Yeats scored off a set play from 12 yards out, punching the ball over the head of ASU keeper Earl Morgan. The Herd was able to put the game away from there, scoring goals at the 26-minute mark and the 65-minute mark. Kurt MuelleT provided the gamewinner on a 30-yard blast past Morgan, and Vinny Anello produced the final margin when he knocked in a five-footer off a scramble in the Appalachian*;. box. * * •. "You always like to get the first goal of the I* game, butsometimes withan inexperienced t e a m ; it makes it tough," Rex said of the early lead."We • managed to get the early lead, but it might have' come too early.

Missing from the ASU lineup Saturday was • startingstopperJohnCox.Coxwasforcedtositout • the tournament match after receiving a red card in Appalachian's last regular season game of the year against Greensboro College. "John Cox having to sit out hurt us," Rex said. "We didn't change the lineup around and tried to ' play just a different player at John's postition. Paul Schmallschidt was forced to play there, and he was having to play an unfamiliar position." The Mountaineers entered the tournament on a late season roll, having gone 6-2-1 in their last nine games, including a 3-1 league slate, after starting the season 1-7. "It was just their day," Rex commented. "They took advantage of some opportunities, and we did not. We reverted back to some early-season play and made some inexperienced mistakes." Terry anddefender Joel Nesbit were both named to the all-tournament team for Appalachian State. In the championship match on Sunday, Furman used late scoring to beat Marshall 3-0 and claim the tournament title. The Paladins' Andrew Zorov ich was named tournament Most Valuable Player. Furman, ranked 14th in the latest Soccer America Top 20 poll, won the Southern Conference regular season championship as well. ml i • �JJL the Appalachian. Tuesday.

Explore options to revive it and provide By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor Eighteen years ago, the Supreme Court ruling on the Roe vs. Wade case legalized abortion nationwide.Today, the country is still debating this case. Tied in with the abortion controversy is the controversy over sex education in schools. How much should schools teach about sex, and how much should be left up to the parents? Many people, often the same ones who oppose abor­ tion, are opposed to teaching sex education in the schools or making birth control available for junior high and high school students. One argument is that teaching children about sex should be the job of the parents in the home, not teachers in the school. Yes, parents should take responsi­ bility for teaching their children about sex. Different people have different beliefs concerning the way they want their children to be taught about such a subject— some parents may want to teach about sex from a religious standpoint, for instance. This is their right, and they should have the primary responsibility for teaching their children. However, this does not mean that parents should have the sole responsibility for educating their children about sex. The role of the school in sex education should be to reinforce what parents are teaching or have already taught, or to teach students about issues that parents may not have time to go over. With the rise in single-parent families or families in which both parents work, parents are often too busy to spend a great deal of time teaching their children about sex. Therefore, schools should bear some of the responsibility. Students should not only be taught about birth control and sexually transmitted diseases but also about the emotional impacts of having sex too early or having sex with a partner with whom there is no commit­ ment or emotional involvement. Another common argument against teaching sex in the school and making birth control available for students is that the school may be putting ideas into students' heads or may somehow be condoning sex among teenagers. Now, let's be realistic. Is there any high school student in the universe who does not have ideas about sex in some form or another? And with the high percentage of teenage pregnancies, it is obvious that many teenagers act on those ideas without taking precautions. Not having sex educa­ tion in the schools would only mean that students whose parents are not available to teach them about sex would be forced to pickup any information ftom their peers or from television. Often students pick up faulty information, and this faulty information can be the cause of a sexually transmitted disease or an accidental pregnancy. Some common misconceptions that students may pick up in­ clude using Saran Wrap in place of condoms or douching after sex as a means of birth control. Making birth control available in schools is not giving students ideas—none they don't already have anyway. And yes, schools should promote abstaining from sex until marriage or at least until one is old enough to make this type of decision for him or herself. However, no matter how much a school promotes acceptable sexual behaviors, some students are not going to listen. Just because a student chooses not to listen to warnings does not mean he or she should become another teenage parent or sexually-transmitted-disease statistic. Making birth control available to students, along with instruction on how to use it, does not promote sexual activity among ' students. The message given here is not,"It's okay to have sex," but rather, 'If you are going to have sex, take precautions." Those who oppose abortions many times also oppose sex education in schools. I fail to see the logic here. If you are going to oppose abortion, why not promote educating teenagers about birth control so that unwanted pregnan­ cies, and therefore abortions, can be prevented? The opposers of both abortion and sex education say they are opposed to junior high and high school students having sex at all. That's fine—in fact, I also am of the opinion that junior high and highschool students shouldn't be having sex. However, what opposers of abortion and sex education need to remember is that it is unrealistic to * expect every single high school student in the nation to abstain from sex. That never has been the case and probably never will be. Therefore, for the sake of preven­ tion of disease and unwanted pregnancies, we should make birth control available in junior high and high schools, and we should teach sex education in theschools. Consideration should be a two-way street By SCOTT PLASTER Appalachian Staff Writer Pop in a little Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppe­ lin, Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Vivaldi or some Eagles. Program a couple of songs. Turn the volume up halfway. Press play and rush to your seat positioned perpen­ dicular to the midpoint between the speak­ ers. Sit down and LISTEN, not listen. Listening is sonic wallpaper. LISTEN­ ING is an experience. Hear the brilliant, clear highs;the subtle nuances of voices; the sound of thesinger's wet lips parting; the pick hitting the strings; the pianist humming; and feel, not just hear, the bass. Experience the dynamic ebb and flow of the music. Hear music as it was meant to be heard. While some of you are getting excited, I know that some of you don't understand, alienated from understanding the life of true music. Most people probably enjoy live music of some kind and would admit that there is something about it that is ethereal yet palpable, abstract and unexplainable. Spontaneous. It's almost as if you hear a chorus of souls straining their words on the wind. The audience is being touched by the hearts of the musicians. Is it not understandable, then, that some of us would like to try to recreate that beautiful higher volume. Much is lost. It isn't the experience? A CD is just a small, silver frisbee, an amplifier just a hunk of same music. Some of us, at least occasion­ metal, speakers just large boxes with mis­ ally, like to listen to music as it was meant to be heard, as it matched, strange, was recorded, at a foreign eyes.

Not all of us wake up at 8:15 in the morning. Some of us wait until a more appropriate time to enjoy our hobby. But please remember that there are only cer­ tain times we are allowed, without break­ ing rules, to fill our fancy. It seems that quiet hours were designated with certain factors inmind. Most people sleep at night­ time. But most people don't go to bed at 8 p.m. either. It seems that other activities that require quiet, such as studying, should logically be done when residents are re­ quired to be quiet. It should be guaranteed silence. For people who prefer to study in the afternoons, there is a library and other quiet places to study. Viewing music lov­ ers who take advantage of their rights during quiethours as inconsiderate would be a little hypocritical. I would view people as inconsiderate who expect, and ask, ev­ eryone around them to bend to their personal wish of silence. This egocentric wish is just as encroaching as any "noise" I've ever heard. You may think some­ times that our relatively few minutes of loudness come at inappropriate times. Consider also that maybe your silence does as well. So before judging lovers of real music as inconsiderate, and talking about us be­ hind our backs, please consider us. Listen­ ing to realistic music is a love and thirst that must be quenched.

Clearcutting is the first stage in plantation farming practiced by some timber interests and the U.S. Forest Service Leadership. Let's assume that the hair on your body is a forest. This canopy of hair is made up of newlyemerging and in sequence, young, mature, old and dead hair just like a forest. A clearcut is a large or small area of shaved hair. Mature hair is collected and removed for processing. The rest is i stage is a "prescribed bum." To suppress new hair growth, combustible material like napalm is used, creating first, second and third-degree bums. A new variety of hair is then inserted by hand into the charred areas. Often repeated plantings are necessary. A third stage is "release." Deadly herbicides are used to kill emerging competitive hair. Is such treatment good for your body? The U.S.F.S. Leadership thinks it's good for our forests. Now let's look at selective harvesting, practiced by most private growers. No shaving and waste of young and old growth. Selected mature trees are cut or plucked for processing. Trees reseed themselves. No destructive burning or poisoning. Which method is least costly and best for our forests? It's obvious, but not to the U.S.F.S. Leadership afflicted with "clearcut-itis." Three (pills) bills to help kill the infection are H.R. 2501, H.R. 1969 and H.R. 842.

Grandfather, grandmother and friends! The U.S.F.S. Leadership needs our attention if it's to recover from its illness. Your letter supporting three (pills) bills will be good medicine.

But atnight adifferent woman snergesShe huddles in her coat, looking anxinusly around to reassure herself that no jk is following her as she quickly walks poss campus. The student makes it to her destination, safely—or at least for this night. Do most Appalachian State University female students walk alone, like the woman above? Results of a student poll overwhelmingly showedthat mostfemales walk alone at night and rarely call Moun­ taineer Escort, if ever. Respondents were asked five questions concerning the degree of safety they feel at ASU and their opinion of the University police. Most students said they felt safe, but voiced concerns about ad­ ditional precautions that could be taken. "I feel pretty safe except later at night. Recently, I've heard things about several rapes and a guy who tried to assault a girl with a gun," said Melanie Babb, White Residence Hall RS A president. Even students who said they felt safe on campus could recall incidents when they felt unsafe or fearful, although each re­ spondent said they felt safe in their resi­ dence hall or apartment. Female students also voiced their con­ cerns and praises of the University police. Senior Sharon Breenan said, "I feel the security here is inadequate. It seems like they are more concerned with giving tick­ ets than assuring my safety." Others, however, said that they feel ASU officials are genuinely concerned about their safety and well-being. "I feel like they're concerned. They installed the blue light phones," said Jun­ ior Cindy Grimes. A few respondents felt differently. "I think they're concerned, yes, but I don't think that they act upon it," said Gale Haney, a junior. Director of Public Safety Roy Tugman said additional safety measures have been . taken following the 1989 abduction and murder of Jeni Gray, a university news bureau staff writer. Those measures, which include install­ ing blue light telephones and closed cir­ cuit television cameras in distant parking lots, are helpring to insurestudents' safety, Tugman said. The blue light telephone service was expanded this year to almost double of last year. The telephones are scattered Safer sex practiced Yosef parades around town Condom sales in residence halls increase By DAWN MCGUIRE Appalachian Staff Writer At only 50 cents a piece, on what did ASU students spend close to $2,000 purusing from vending machines? ,ms. Last year, over 3,800 condoms raesoldfrom the lobby bathrooms of the campus's 18 residence halls. Appalachian receives 30 percent of to­ tal sales, and earned $530.75 from the 1 15BM1 school year. Ik ill-male residence hall Cone conlihtedthemost to the total, buying $170 sotth of condoms (340 condoms). Doughton followed closely, spending $168(336 condoms) in their lobby's unisex testroom. lovill, Frank, Belk and Winkler also ed over 300 condoms, and 10 of residence halls sold over 200. Of the kails, only Coffey, Eggers, Hoey, JusandNewland sold under lOOcondoms. In halls where there are both male and bale lobby restrooms, females spent l«than half the amount males spent. In '"'fry, for example, males bought 73 tms while females bought only six. In Winkler, females purchased just 43 of "327 condoms sold. The condommachines enable students, •hi normally would not use protection kausethey are embarrassed or because •Inconvenience, to practice safer sex. In k«d, this helps prevent student preg"lc'es and the spread of sexually trans•i"ed diseases," .said freshman Kym Anhur. I JJe semester of last year brought in of which ASU received $303.90. tyring sales were higher with 11 of the ! halls increasing their purchases, i , j"9, which sold only 13 condoms in I mm'" Semester' had 136 sales in the I ^8 semester. Coltrane, Eggers and • had dramatic increases in the spring semester. In all, sales for the spring semester totaled $1,013. The condom machines were installed in 1989 amid much controversy, said Rick Geis, associate director of residence life. Appalachian was the first university in the southeast to install the machines, earning the name "Condom U" from late night talk show host David Letterman. "It's a social responsibility and, as an institution, Appalachian acted very prop­ erly. Putting the machines in residence halls where people live is not a courtesy. It's a right for those people to have access to those (the condoms). To say that there is nothing going on in the residence halls is naive. There are a lot of people who think that is the case or that's the way it should be, but that's not the way it is," said Geis. The money the university receives from the condom sales goes to Health Services and is used specifically for AIDS educa­ tion. Garland Lancaster, who recently spoke at Appalachian on the AIDS crisis, was paid from those funds. The funds will also pay for the AIDS quilt, which travels around the country in support of those who have died from AIDS, to come to Appalachian's campus in mid-Novem­ ber. The condom vending machines are not the only birth control availableencampus. Student Health Services provide condoms, a large variety of birth control pills and will fit students for diaphragms. The condoms are free and birth control pills are soldat a reduced price of $2 to $4. The birth control pill is the method used most widely, according to Health Services Di­ rector William Derrick.

This member68 ^ university that the public properly identifies products involving Appalachian's name, logos and symbols. Levine stated, "ASU's licensing pro­ gram has three purposes, which we call the three P's: protection, promotion and profit" The licensing program protects ASU's name and reputation, controlling what products are identified with Appala­ chian. The licensing program also promotes ASU's image by only allowing positive and admirable ASU products to be manu­ factured. A profit can be made through the licensing program due to the fact that ASU collects royalty payments. The uni­ versity administration hopes to use the money generated from royalty payments for general university academic scholar­ ships. Levine currently makes all of ASU's licensing decisionsconcerning what prod­ ucts are approved or rejected.

Further, 45 percent of those surveyed reported losing a family member in the previous 24 months.

The foot patrol officers try to reassure students," Tugman said. and a whopping 66 ptercent repjorted the death of a friend in theprevious 24 months. The professor believes the unspxrken reality of grief is a hidden problem on most U.S. campuses. Dr. Dan Jones, psychologist at the ASU Counseling and Psychological Services, said, "The best thing for a student who experiences a grief or loss is to talk to or be with family, friends or loved ones." However, since most ASU students are away from home and do not have access to See MANY page 2 that is not offensive and properly uses ASU's logo will pass," stated Levine. Levine said he wants to get students involved in these decisions. He hopes to start a student committee that will evalu­ ate student generated designs for ASU products. ASU will also be participating in Hunger/Homelessness Week, Nov. 18-24. Money will be raised and evenly distrib­ uted between the Hospitality House, Hun­ ger Coalition and Habitat for Humanity. Co-presidents of Active Students for the Community, Debbie Gass and Eric Tucker, announced upcoming events. Active Students for the Community is sponsoring a fast starting Nov. 19. Paritcipants are asked to fast for a mini­ mum of 24 hours and no longer than 50 hours. Each participant will get spxmsors to pledge money for each hour they fast. Nov. 20 is a "sleep-out" This event is to raise awareness in the community and on ASU's campus. Participants are asked to sleep outside in sleeping bags for the night. SGA also heard a presentation by Brady Gas ter, chairman of East Residence Hall's "Dorm of Doom" committer Gaster's committee raised $344 for the United Way. SGA did not discuss any old or new business. The senate did not have any old business, and a motion was passed to send all new business to the rules committee for screening. Committee repxrrts were given, an­ nouncing sprecial projects and events. Matt WiUiford, community affairs chairman, announced that ASU Senators will be standing outside of three local grocery stores Nov. 16-23 collecting food for Hunger/Homelessness Week. Terie McHale reported on homecom­ ing events. Along with selling T-shirts, having a tailgate party and participating in the homecoming parade, SGA is involved in a spjecial event that will take place Saturday at the stadium at 1:12 p. m. All senators were asked to remind their constituents about The Student Fee Fo­ rum video currently being shown on Appalnet. SGA will vote on the Student Fee Proposal on Nov. 19. In closing, Senator Mike Miller made a motion to form a committee to investi­ gate the rumor that certain musical bands are being banned from ASU's campus. The motion was passed and the meeting adiourned. Kraut Creek or Boone's Creek, which runs through campus, is in very px>or con­ dition, according to ASU biology profes­ sor Gary Walker. Parking lots drainage, small amounts of chemicals from the p>ool in BroomeKirk Gym and the recent dry weather contribute to the creek's degradation. Joe Napoleon, site development coor­ dinator for the planning and inspections department for the town of Boone, said the creek was put in colvert "to accommo­ date development." "They wouldn't have been able to do half the things they did with that creek because today the ordinance would pro­ hibit it," Napoleon said. The creek runs from behind BroomeKirk Gym, goes under the RankinScience and Driving Range parking lots andreappjears on thefar side of the Walker College of Business building, Walker said. Drainage from the parking lots feeds into the creek, Walker said. Storm drain­ age run-off goes into the creek, carrying with it hydrocarbons and oils from the parking lots, Walker said. Walker said that hydrocarbons and oils are the number one source of freshwater pollution. Many states have laws requir­ ing that storm drainage first be fed into holding pxmds where the water is evapxjrated and any chemicals are absorbed into the earth, but ASU does not have such a pjond, Walker said. "It (the creek) has always had a long history of disturbance and the University could only contribute to that by further using it for run-off and dumping," said Walker. Chemicals from the university's px>ol are filtered into the creek. Chlorine, phos­ phoric acid and other cleaning agents en­ ter the creek through the prod's filter sys­ tem, said William Winkler, assistant vice chancellor for physical plant operations. "Any chemicals that do end up in the creek do so through the filter system and are so diluted that if there is any effect at aU, it is minimal," said Winkler. Winkler also said that there is a way to prevent the chance of any chemicals, no matter how diluted, from entering the creek. Pipres could be installed that would direct the flow from the filter into the sewer system, where the water would be treated, he said. Winkler estimates that this would cost several thousand dollars. The recent dry weather intensifies the effect of the pxxtl chemicals and the hy­ drocarbons and oil entering the creek, Walker said. The dry weather has lowered the water level and any chemicals that go into the CTeek will have a stronger effect, Winkler said. Kraut Creek had similrf disturbances before Appalachian was built, according to Walker.In fact, the CTeek is named after several sausage and sauerkraut plants that dumpted chemicals and waste into the creek. "The environment that has been cre­ ated in the creek is not suitable to higheT life forms," Walker said. The main inhab­ itants of the creek are bacteria, algae and fungi, he said. Walker also said that the only way to reverse the condition of the creek would be to rip out the parking lot and expose the creek. �The Annalaehian. Homecoming Edition. Thursday.

A fraternity chapter at Ohio State Uni­ versity and another at Blooms burg Uni­ versity in Pennsylvania require pledges to commit a gang rape or beat up a woman for induction. Countless women report date and ac­ quaintance rapes only to be told by police and campus administrators that they are to blame. "Why were you drinking? Why were you alone in the man's apartment?" Their forceful voices sent vibrations of anger, frustration and utter confusion bouncing off the walls as they recounted story after story of sexual assault on col­ lege campuses, large and small, public and private—nationwide. Why is this happening? At the first Conference on Sexual Assault on Campus, experts on rape, students and those working at colleges and universities in counseling, law enforcement and ad­ ministration promoted a national campaign against campus rape. The recent conference in Orlando, Fla., was sponsored by the Safe Schools Coali­ tion Inc., a non-profit organization dedi­ cated to making colleges and schools a safer place to live and work. One in four college women today will be the victim of rape or attempted rape. Rape, especially date and acquaintance rape, is the most underreported of any crime. About 75 percent of campus rapes in­ volve alcohol. Those figures come from Andrea Par­ rot of Cornell University's Department of Human Service Studies. Parrot is one of the nation's leading researchers of date and acquaintance rape on college cam­ puses. Parrot is not the only expert armed with sobering statistics. Bemice Sandler, ex­ ecutive director of the Association of American College's Status and Education of Women project, said 100 gang rapes have been reported at colleges and univer­ sities since 1985. Both agree that attitudes are much of the problem. "There are people out there who think date rape is an oxymoron," Parrot said. "We have to think about the types of students on our campuses that we need to reach...and realize that we can't change opinions with one (educational) program. We need to take baby steps to change their attitudes." The attitude problems are coming from many directions. "A lot of these men have perceptions " diametrically opposed to the women. They don't really know they committed a rape," she said. "There are also a number of women whosay they only go out with nice men, so they're not at risk. They say, 'This won't happen to me.'" Parrot adds that administrators' re­ sponses are crucial as well. She divides them into three groups: those who won't deal with campus rape until it happens on their campus, those who bury their heads in the sand and come up with creative ways to prevent victims from reporting rapes and those who see that date rape is real and take steps to prevent it from happening. "We need to tell administrators to re­ vise their policies., .that if we don't handle this problem it could cost them a lot of money (from lawsuits)," she said. Many Police now promote sensitivity and training. "If your people in your department at your university don't care, nothing you do will come across right," said Richard Turkiewicz, police chief at the University of Central Florida. "Don't look for rea­ sons why not to help, don't say. You violated this safety principle, you did this and that wrong.'" Leslie Scoville of the Rutgers Univer­ sity police department agrees and adds that in addition to taking added security measures on campus to prevent rape such as additional lighting, keepingshrubs trimmed, evaluating building plans, the scheduling of night classes and establish­ ing campusemergency communication— individual officer training is crucial. "One session a year is not enough,"she said. "We have to work with prosecutors, rape crisis counseling services and victim assistance programs." People alsoneed to encourage prosecu­ tion, they say. Carol Bohmer, a former attorney and now a professor in Cornell's sociology department, said taking rape charges through the criminal justice system may prove more beneficial to a victim than a university's judicial system. "The goal of the campus judicial sys­ tem is different. Its primary interest is in protecting students, its reputation, its fi­ nances," she said. "The criminal justice system focuses on punishing offenders." Many victims are shying away from crimi­ nal prosecution these days and turning to civil action against the alleged rapist and against the schools for improperly han­ dling the victim's report of the rape, Bohmer said. "This is an increasing area in rape...these are situations in which uni­ versities can be liable,"Boh with the increase in civil • percentage of victims action for fear of blame, enibll!'11 fear of retaliation from'tw^* fear that no one will believe h ^ Jennifer Rabold, a sen»ral!\ sity of Richmond, is students who bonded JUtl ""•fi conference to form the Xj*1 ti°n of Stents Ag^S 5< Assault.

Many students don't believe they have an outlet to sort through their feelings, he said. In the past, if several students are com­ ing to terms with death at the same time, the counseling centerhas started grief and mourning support groups, which range from four to six people. "This way, they have the shared expe­ rience of suffering the same type of loss. Talking about it helps people to heal," Jones said. Other students who have not experi­ enced loss and are separate from the bereavement study also are being studied. The control group has been evaluated on stress, and the results are com­ pared with those in the bereavement group. Balk said he thinks students who have suffered a loss develop more resources than those who have not. "I suspect there are changes in people, and (the death) becomes a major reference point, and they return to it again and again." Although people sympathize with a bereaved student, Balk said outsiders of­ ten underestimate the intensity or dura­ tion of grief. "Theideaof beingover it completely in a year is just not true," said the professor, who also said that some students found the study too painful to participate. Balk, often referred to teasingly as "Dr. Death," said he would like to pursue a study on how thegrieving process changes people. The professor said people in this soci­ ety are often impatient with the grieving process. "We expect to get things resolved in minutes," he said. "We are unwilling to spend time on things."

Geiger pointed out that STDs are dis­ eases, not moral judgments, and that any students who think they may be infected should not hesitate to seek treatment. <r STUDENT PORTRAITS Carl Wolf Studio will be at the Plemmons Student Union Nov. 11-1$ to take student portraits.

The equipment will be used in the "Impact North Carolina; 21st Century Education" distance learning project. The 10-year project begins this year in three Watauga County schools and will expand into the six counties belong­ ing to Appalachian's Public School Part­ nership. The project's goals include the improve­ ment of teaching and learning in the public schools and marshalling private resources to improve public education. Appalachian, Southern Bell and AT&T are partners in "Impact North Carolina." The project is one of the first in the nation, and the first in the nine BellSouth states, to deliver interactive video, voice and data to schools through copper tele­ phone lines. "We are reaching rural schools through a technology that is in place," said Dr. James L. Strom, vice chancellor for uni­ versity advancement at Appalachian. "They need not wait for fiberoptic, micro­ wave or satellite technology to come to them." Impact North Carolina is important to AT&T not only because of its unique application of information technology, but because the use of this technology provides the means to improve the quality of education for our nation's children," said Cyril Matthews of AT&T. "This project was chosen for AT&T's support because improving the education of our teachers and children is strategic to our company's and country's global competi­ tiveness." In its first phase the project will allow students and teachers at Parkway Elemen­ tary, Blowing Rock Elementary and Watauga High schools to interact with each other and with students and faculty at Appalachian. Classes will also be able to tap into global computer communications networks. The project also provides public school teachers with continuing education, stu­ dent teachers with immediate feedback from their supervisorson the Appalachian campus, and education majors with expe­ rience with the latest distance learning techniques. Appalachian contributes to "Impact North Carolinal' its nationally recognized Reich College of Education, its awardwinning Public School Partnership and faculty expertise. AT&T contributes design and engineer­ ing services, equipment andhardware and software. Southern Bell contributes tele­ phone networking and services, and the latest in voice, video and networking tech­ nology. The AT&T grant provides 95 AT&T workstations, three file servers, three server workstations, network hardwareand software and other software. Carpool...

That's what one of Geoff Walsh's mar­ keting campaigns for his VP ArtWatches reads above a black-and-white picture of the artist wearing—what else?—one of Walsh's creative timepieces. "These strikingly beautiful wristwatches have highly distinctive faces— four-color reproductions of the world's most admired paintings—from the great­ est impressionists to the most fabulous moderns, from Monet and Van Gogh to Picasso and Dali." So reads the slick ArtWatch ad. Not bad for a guy who started his busi­ ness on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania selling watches with faces that donned DanQuay le in Mickey Mouse ears. "It started when my roommate said, 'What did Mickey Mouse get for his 60th birthday?,"' Walsh says. The answer, of course—a Dan Quayle watch. Walsh and his roommate sold between 600 and 700 of the watches and his career as an entrepreneur was well on its way. Now, at the age of 24, the 1989 Wharton School graduate is the chairman, presi­ dent and chief executive officer of Walsh Enterprises, a $4 million-a-year business in Larchmont, N.Y. And it all started in college. The success of the Quayle watches showed Walsh that the watch market was open for business. After noticing repro­ ductions of Claude Moiiet and other art­ ists on students' walls, Walsh came up with the idea for ArtWatches. That idea turned into a business plan for ArtWatches that served as Walsh's un- dergraduate thesis and blossomed into his catalogs like Spiegel, the QVC Home curTent international venture. Shopping Network,department stores like Connections with a Philadelphia com­ Macy's and J.C. Penney's sell the pany resulted in connections with a large ArtWatches, which cost between $40 and Hong Kong company that Walsh says $75.

Walsh started with eight art works— Now, Walsh is working on developing now ArtWatches offers more than 50 dif­ other watch lines and is starting to dabble ferent faces, withabout 30 different watchband styles. Walsh has sold more than 100,000 of the watches in the United States, Germany, France and Japan. Although Walsh admits thatearly in his college career, "I did suffer from the en­ trepreneurial dream a bit," he says some of the difficulties he encountered early in his watch-making career showed him that success takes "constant push and perse­ verance." Walsh started selling his watches in 1989 with the help of college students on campuses and says he worried a bit when Bulova Corp. began selling its Classic Moments watches that also reproduced famous paintings on watch faces. Walsh won the battle in the market­ place since ArtWatches sold for a signifi­ cantly lower price—$75 compared with COME $300. Since the early struggles, the HOIX/1E T O ArtWatches have come a long way—now.

Greer, helps students with any need they have for their job search. The Center provides a very thor­ ough career planning program and library of infor­ mation. Signs are frequently posted announcing the workshops and career fairs for various depart­ ments or summer jobs and internships. The Center offers resume workshops several times a month. Graduate assistant Doug Dewar conducted last week's workshop. Dewar advised students not to be afraid to boast and to put down everything they have done in college. "You are selling yourself; the resume is your advertise­ ment," Dewar explained. Dewar went through step by step tips on com­ pleting the resume. He reminded the group that the Career Development Center offers a "career li­ brary" which has sample r6sum6s.To savemoney, he suggested students utilizeMedia Services when it comes time to print the resumes. They will produce laser printed copies for as little as 3 cents per copy. The center considers theinterviewing process as marketing a product Weekly interviewing work­ shops are also available through the center. The workshop breaks the process down to a pre-interview, interview and post-interview. They discuss preparations like a practice interview with a room­ mate and "dressing the part" before the day of the interview. Follow-up and thank-you letters are also covered. Dr. David Ball, director of the Career Develop­ ment Center, discussed his views on the reces­ sions' impact on graduates. He breaks the reces­ sion into four parts:economy, demographics, tech­ nology and downsizing of corporations. To com­ bat these problems, he first suggests students be more flexible by not limiting themselves geo­ graphically. They may also consider the smaller corporations who are not as impacted by the reces­ sion. Ball said students can prepare for the job market even before their senior year by getting involved in co-curricular activities that provide computer lit­ eracy, leadership, communications and technical skills. Internships are another good preparation because they provide these skills and important business contacts. The center helps students seek­ ing internships as well. 'The best qualified doesn't always get the job," Ball said. "It's the one who plays the game the best" Many students think of ASU's Career Develop­ ment Center as that place where jobs are posted on the bulletin board. On the contrary, the center has much more to offer. With graduation approaching, planning career includes writing r6sum6s, prepar­ ing for interviews and combating the recession.

"Broadsides," a student publication offered by the English department, encourages writers to sub­ mit their best piece of work. "Anyone who writes is welcome to submit, particularly those who write well," said Laura Swenson, editor-in-chief. Although "Broadsides'" publications usually consist of poetry, its staff encourages writers to submit other types of work as well. "Poetry is good, but we don't want just poetry. We welcome short stories. Around 2,000 words is good. Creative essays are also welcome," said Swenson. "Broadsides" gives the writer a chance to be in the spotlight. Only one author appears in each issue, which can consist of one piece of work or several works by the author. It also allows students to improve their writing and gives writers a broader sense of fiction. Coordinator of "Broadsides" Pete Turchi en­ courages students who are interested in editing to join the staff. "We also wouldn't mind having people who need more editing experience to see Laura Swenson or myself," said Turchi. According to Turchi, "our goal is to come out bi­ weekly, which is about 14 to 16 times a year. Last year 'Broadsides' put out 10 publications." Turchi, a creative writing instructor at Appala­ chian, brought the "Broadsides" tradition with him from Washington College. During his under­ graduate days in college, Turchi lived in a writer's dorm and worked on a university publication called "The Washington College Review and Broadsides." S(j J°U ^ding me?

The "broadside," a 17th and 18th century tradi­ tion in England, was a single sheet of paper the writer would hand out to passersby on the street This tradition, which is being practiced at Appala­ chian, is an "easy way to make work accessible to a lot of people. It also gives a lot of attention to a single piece," said Turchi. "The other nice thing about it is each 'Broadsides' is designed for every piece published." attractive way for students to get their work pub­ lished. "It is also a constant reminder of what students are doing," Turchi said. "This is a way for them to have a larger audience." "Broadsides," unlike "The Cold Mountain Re­ view," is limited strictly to student work. "The ColdMountainReview," also coordinated byTurchi through the English department, still solicits stu­ dent poetry and books from or about the Southeast Open to writers and writings of all kinds, "The Cold Mountain Review" also welcomes submissions from writers who do not attend the University. Those who wish tosubmit work to "Broadsides" should include their name, address and phone num­ ber. Students should also make sure they are not submitting an original because work will not be returned. Writers interested in"Broadsides" should submit their work to the English department while those interested in editing should contact Swenson at 265-3523.

For the Workshop aids job hunt ARMSTRONG palachian Staff Writer "drunk f 'fe'^rs THE APPALACHIAN THURSOAY, November 7,1991 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER:Tori Thompson, winnerof the Resort Recreation and Tennis Management Scholarship, prepares to board the Vagabond boat at Hilton Head Island. Thompson just witnessed a fisherman's catch of the day-a shark. Imagine spending an entire summer at the beach, leading resort guests in such activities as canoeing, aerobics, fishing, walks on the beach, arts and crafts, biking, bingo...the list goes on. When it is time to return to college you learn that not only have you won a scholarship, but you have also earned a management position if you wish to return. Does it sound too good to be true? ForTori Thompson, it is reality. Thompson is a senior majoring in recreation management and concentrating in commercial rec­ reation management.She fulfilled her internship at Hilton Head Island this past summer. She was one of the 44 people chosen from hundreds of other applicants to help conduct activities for resort guests. Her main goal was to help people relax and enjoy their vacation. When not leading groups in different activities, Thompson took part in "guesttime." Many visitors would not be aware of the events that were being offered to them, so she would eagerly recruit participants with her outgoing per­ sonality. When sponsoring akids' day on the beach or taking a group of young people to a water park, Thompson would talk with the parents individu­ ally. By taking the time to make the parents feel at ease, they would feel secure allowing their chil­ dren into Thompson's care. Thompson's outstanding performance won her the Resort Recreation and Tennis Management Scholarship. She believes she won because of all the hard work she put forth to get people involved. Her enthusiasm led her to have large numbers of participants at her activities. When asked how she felt about winning the scholarship, she replied, "It's not so much the money. It's the recognition." Although she enjoyed doing the work, Thomp­ son worked hard and held a great deal of responsi­ bility. She tried to get to know the guests by talking to them, learning where they were from and mak­ ing them laugh. Because of her enthusiastic efforts, Thompson has been offered to return to Hilton Head as an activities coordinator. She was the only one out of all 44 interns asked to return. This management position overseesother interns, and she hopes to be able to help them overcome obstacles she had to conquer. A native of Toms Creek, N.J., Thompson is outgoing and loves to try new things. She worked at a water park for several years and is presently employed by a ski shop which allows her access to one of her favorite pastimes: skiing. She hopes to return to Hilton Head and continue with the typeof job she held this summer. When reflecting on her experience, Thompson does not mention the scholarship or the job offershe speaks of the friends she made. "People respect you and appreciate what you do for them," Thompson said. For her, this is the greatest reward of all. She is proud to have helped others enjoy an active vaca­ tion. �The Appalachian. Homecoming Edition Thursday November 7. 1991 Fraternity activates members By LA TONYA IVEY Appalachian Staff Writer Pi Sigma Epsilon introduced itself at ASU as a co-ed business fraternity a little over a decade ago. The fraternity is a national chapter of Gamma Xi and is sponsored by Charlotte Sales and Market%tg Executives. PSE is open to not only •business majors, but to all majors. There are over 1OOchapters of Pi Sigma »Epsilon. There are specifically 67 active Chapters throughout the United States. There are two field representatives that visit each chapter annually. The field rep­ resentatives help make sure that each chap­ ter improves every year. They provide new ideas for marketing and service projects. Pi Sigma Epsilon completed numerous marketing and service projects. Some of these include the designing and selling of Yosef dolls, Adopt-a-Street and a J telemarketing survey about the quality of ASU by students. PSE also designed and sold Monopoly board T-shirts that adver­ tised businesses. Future projects include Laps for A.P.P.S., a member auction with other participating business fraternities and a project for ACE, the advertising club. These projects are presented at national conventions that are usually held in April in different cities each year. Next year, the Convention will be in Chicago. Over 700 delegates will be present. Here the mem­ bers of Pi Sigma Epsilon will be inter­ viewed and honored for their hard work and success. Pi Sigma Epsilon is the only profes­ sional national co-ed business fraternity in marketing, sales and sales manage­ ment. It has an added benefit that other business fraiemities do not have.

Wagon wheels, hubcaps and children's bicycles make up the fence.This is the site which gave one of North Carolina's leading bands their name: Dillon Fence. "Dillon Fence has hit the jackpot in the same fashion the Popes did. Hitting home with rich, soulful pop and sugar-sweetened funk and dance rhythms, they emerged as the most musically fash­ ionable band on campus. Their music is distinctfully tasteful, unmissable and the debut EP, 'Dillon Fence,' sold like wildfire around town,"said Charles Marshall, assistant editor for the Omnibus. The band has been together since 1987. The band's roots go back to Winston-Salem, but Dillon Fence rose to fame in the Chapel Hill band scene. Greg Humphrey, guitarist, and bassist Chris Goode attended high school together where they played in the same band. Rhythm guitarist and vocalist Kent Alphin, who grew up in Charlotte, was added to the band when he moved to WinstonSalem. The present drummer is Scott Carle, a former member of a Durham based band, Bad Checks. "Dillon Fence is a band which has achieved popular accessability while retaining musical in­ tegrity," said student Greg Baver. The band has played throughout the Southeast and has played in New York and the CMJ Music Marathon.

Eskimo Sunburn burst onto the ASU band scene just a year ago. Since that time, they have steadily improved as a band, and a loyal following has grown up around the band. They played in The Pub at the beginning of the semester in a show with The Pygmies. The Pub was packed.

In turn, they and a sensitive little girl named Billie (Thora Birch), help Willard prevail over his greatest fears and give him a summer he will never forget, in Touchstone Pictures' new drama, "Para­ dise." "Paradise" is directed by Mary Agnes Donoghue from her screenplay adapted from the French film "Le Grand Chemin." After spending a number of years in Hollywood as one of motion picture industry's most successful writers, Mary Agnes Donoghue is now cast in an equally challenging and creative role, that of fea­ ture film director. Casting the roles of Ben and Lily Reed, the filmmakers were determined to find actors who could convincingly portray a young husband and wife burdened with trauma so deep that it' has physically and emotionally separated them from each other. Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith proved to be the ideal choices for these roles because of an innate quality of spirit they bring to the characters. "These aren 't the typesof roles either has played before," said Donoghue.

With a mix of punk, metal and alternative, Nirvana is follow­ ing bands from Seattle such as Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. "Nevermind" is the major label debut from Nirvana and is currently number one on thecollege music charts. The album has been out a little over a month and people are having a hard time classi­ fying this three-piece fusion sound. Nirvana has been classified as metal, punk and a grunge band. Bassist Chris Novoselic said, "We were always into punk rock and we just kind of fell into this Seattle thing. I'm just starting to under­ stand the grunge sound. It has amore organic guitar sound." "Nevermind" is causing quite a stir beyond the college music scene. "We are kind of spread­ ing out and getting more mainstream people. In doing that, we hope that we can turn them on to different types of music, like the under­ ground scene. There are more bands out there than the mainstream giant rock bands," said Novoselic. Kurt Cobain, guitarist and lead vocalist, and David Grohl, the current drummer, have only been with the band for a little over a year now. The first single and video off of "Nevermind" is "Smells LikeTeen Spirit."The song takes alook at life as a teen, especially high school. The video was filmed in a gym with some of the Nirvana fans on hand to witness. The one word that would describe "Nevermind" is energy. The album is so full of raw energy. "In Bloom" and "Lithium" are songs that have a driv­ ing guitar and an early Black Sabbath tone to them. "Come As You Are" pleads for individuality with some excellent lyrics. "Polly" is an all acoustic guitar song that is a mellow break from the loud tone set by the rest of the album. The one thing that struck me upon listening to the album is the simplicity of it all.It is reminiscent of punk rock. The music, for the most part, is simple and the lyrics are straight and to the point. The feel of the album comes through with the energy with which the songs are presented. The album has an almost live feel to it. Side two continues the flow with 'Territorial Pissings and Stay Away. Both songscontain the See NIRVANA'S page 8 1 J �The Appalachian. Horrvromino Edition Thursday Nn^mher 7 1901 Climbing the charts again Special to the Appalachian No instrumental group has benefitted more from the New Adult Contemporary radio format these last few years than Acoustic Alchemy. Featuring English guitarists Nick Webb (steel string) and Greg Carmichael (nylon string), backed by Terry Disley, keyboards; Patrick BetUson, bass;and DanTomlinson,drums, the band has scored four smash albums on both airplay and sales charts since 1987 with a lilting,easygoing string chemistry. Acoustic Alchemy's latest, "Back on the Case," textures Webb and Carmichael's chemistry with stirring grooves ranging from reggae and blues to flamenco, rock and improvisational jazz. "Our real challenge each time out is to maintain a balance between approaching different, uncharted styles and making them work to form the musical whole which is Acoustic Alchemy,"said Webb. "Back on theCase"certainly does make a case for Webb and Carmichael's enor­ mously diverse musical capabilities and desire to keep pushing themselves into previously untested areas. Webb and Carmichael also offer their boldest forays into pure jazz traditions with both "Playing For Time" and "Clear Air For Miles," which expound even fur­ ther upon the be-bop rhythms of "Refer­ ence Point's"Brubeck cover,'Take Five." "Clear Air For Miles" is part Miles Davis tribute evolving into an offbeat jazz guitar groove before astratospheric acous­ tic piano run by Disley. "Georgia Peach" is an orchestrallytinged piece whose melody grew out of its underlying rhythms, while "On the Case" is perhaps Acoustic Alchemy's most unique track to date with its sense of down home fun and blues/rock harmonica break by Terry Dee. "When the Lights Go Out" is unusual in that it's one of the rare Acoustic Alchemy songs played by only one of the guitarists, Nick Webb. "The groove is suited to the way I play, bluesy in both rhythm and melody," said Webb. The opening track, "The Alchemist," is the most identifiably Acoustic Alchemy piece in this collec­ tion, very punchy and straightforward. What makes Acoustic Alchemy's al­ bums work from a continuity standpoint is the inclusion of other players and in­ struments which perfectly complement the deep and insightful string conversa­ tions of Webb and Carmichael. Webb said, "our whole band concept is not to appeal only to guitar buffs. Part of that is that I never much liked pure guitar al­ bums. We felt if we were going to make a lot of albums with the nylon and acoustic strings, we better break it up once in a while with other instruments. We like sharing with other musicians." As children of the '60s growing up in England, Webb and Carmichael were heavily influenced by the Beatles and were only slightly interested injazz.Webb learned about jazz guitar and harmony at Leeds College of Music. Webb founded the first version of Acoustic Alchemy with classical guitarist Simon James in the early '80s. Most of their work was as a duo, though they sometimes performed with a string quar­ tet and rhythm section. Webb and James made one album, "Acoustic Alchemy," but the group failed to get anywhere. "It was long before the term New Ageeven existed, but I had laid down the groundwork," said Webb. Carmichael, who had won the Islington Songwriters Competition at age 11, stud­ ied classical guitar withCarlos Bonell and attended the London College of Music before hooking up with several different English jazz groups. He then joined Webb as James' replacement Realizing that their laid-back music was more apt to find a following in the United States than in conservative Great Britain, they took a gig as the in-flight entertainment on Virgin Airlines and lit­ erally played their way to America. Carmichael had a bassist friend in Nash­ ville who put them in contact with Tony Brown. Brown signed them before NAC radio had really caught steam, and, of course. Acoustic Alchemy's combination of acoustic/classical guitars with producer Parsons' modem, high-tech backgrounds caught on statewide in 1987. Their three subsequent albums have put them on the contemporary instrumental map to stay. "Back on The Case" literally brings a world of influences to a pure and simple musical mixture based on the reference point of the steel and nylon string guitars. The Oxford Dictionarydefines alchemy as "a medieval form of chemistry, the chief aim of which was to discover how to turn ordinary metals into gold." Acoustic Alchemy has achieved this same end be­ fore, and the unveiling of accessible yet artistic musical treasures continues now that Webb and Carmichael are "Back on The Case."

CRAVER Appalachian Staff Writer The Appalachian State field hockey squad rounded out regular season play this past weekend competing in the Deep South Tournament at Catawba College against teams from Davidson, Wake Forest, Pfeiffer, High Point, Catawba and a *V • number of area club teams. The Lady Mountaineers opened the tournament defeating Pfeiffer in double overtime 2-1 on Fri­ day. Junior co-captain Shannon Smith scored the only ASU goal with an assist from sophomore Leigh Taylor in the regulation period to tie the game 1-1. In overtime, the Lady Apps outstroked Pfeiffer, securing three goals behind the efforts of junior co-captain Melissa Puckett, Elise Steuer and Lisa Fro mm. Despite a bad break during the game injuring strong link Christy Funai, ASU Head Coach Cathy Burleson still felt her squad put forth a strong perforinance, "Wereceivedniceplay from Puckett, Steuer, Fromm, Taylor and Smith," Burleson said. "Our goalie (Mattie Jean Hunt) peaked nicely in this game and really played well throughout the majority of the tournament" tough 1-0 decision to the Lady Indians. Catawba's only goal came midway through the first half, but ASU simply couldn't capitalize on any shot oppor­ tunities during the remainder of the match. "We could not generate much attack.

Indeed, it does appear once again that the Buc­ caneers of East Tennessee State are poised to make another run at the conference title. Despite losing Ail-American and do-everything point guard Keith "Mister" Jennings, the Bucs return three starters off of last year's 28-5 squad that made its third straight appearance in the NCAA tourna­ ment. Forwards Calvin Talford, Rodney English and Marty Story all return to starting roles this season. Talford, who averaged 14.6 points per game last season, will move to the off-gaurd position this season for ETSU Head Coach Alan LeForce. The Buccaneers will also be bolstered by the return of 6' 11" senior center Greg Dennis. A legiti­ mate AU-American candidate, Dennis sat out last season after suffering a broken foot early in the year. Dennis averaged 19.7 points and 6.5 re­ bounds per game his junior year and was named to the all-conference team in each of his first three seasons. "Obviously, replacing Jennings will be a major challenge," LeForce stated. "We should be pretty good, because we do have some outstanding play­ ers returning such as Dennis, Talford, Story and English." While the Buccaneers are gearing up for a fourth straight run at the conference championship, the Paladins of Furman are looking to build on last season's success that took them to the NTT after going 20-9 and finishing in a three-way tie for first place in the regular season conference standings. Paladin Head Coach Butch Estes will be count­ ing on the performance of returning starters Bruce Evans, Hal Henderson and Derek Waugh to lead his team. Evans, a 6'7" forward, was All-Southern Conference last season after leading Furman in scoring at 16.2 points per game. Evans also aver­ aged 6.8 rebounds an outing and led his team with a 58.4 field goal percentage. Waugh returns at center after averaging 11.8 points and 7.6 rebounds per contest in his sopho­ more campaign. The 6'0" Henderson returns at gaurd and will be counted on to provide the same type of long-range shooting that saw him connect on 41 percent of his three-point field goal attempts last season. Senior David Stamey should start at the offgaurd position for Furman while 6'10" sophomore Brian Edwards and 6'5" junior Steven Hines will both challenge for starting roles up front. UTC Head Coach Mack McCarthy, after losing three starters off of last year's 19-10 squad that tied ETSU and Furman for the conference crown, went out and landed five junior college transfers and eight newcomers in all during the off-season.

Appalachian State defeated Furman, 26-23, in three overtimes on Oct 19. Paladins wallop Buccaneers The Furman Paladins roared back from a 14-0 deficit and slaughtered East Ten­ nessee State, 52-23, Saturday in Greenville, S.C. Junior running back Carl Tremble re­ turned after a three-week absence and rushed for 144 yards on 19 carries on the day. Paladin quarterback Hugh Swilling passed for 223 yards in the victory, which raised the Paladins' record to 6-2 overall and 3-2 in the Southern Conference. East Tennessee State fell to 1-7 overall and remained winless in the league with an 0-4 mark. The Buccaneers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the opening quarter. The Bucs scored on their opening possession when quarterback Mark Williams hit Alphonso talented returnees along with some out­ standing newcomers. I think all four teams will be candidates to win the title. "There is not as clear a favorite going frto this season as East Tennessee State has been the past few years." • Two Appalachian State players were also chosen for the coaches' preseason allconference squad. * Senior forward Steve Spurlock and se­ nior point guard Rodney Peel were both selected for the 10-man squad. ! Spurlock averaged 18.6 points a game 4nd 7.7 rebounds a contest last season and was a unanimous selection for the squad. Peel saw just one minute of action last season due to a knee injury, but he had a fine 1989-90campaign. Peel averaged 11.5 points a game and 3.3 assists two seasons ago. Peel was also tabbed as the league's best defensive player, for the second time in his career. ETSU's Greg Dennis, who sat out all but two games last season, was chosen the conference's preseason Most Valuable Player, and WestemCarolina'sTerry Boyd was chosen the league's best all-around performer. Also named to the all-conference team were ETSU's Rodney English and Calvin Tafford, Furman's Bruce Evans, Derek Waugh and Hal Henderson and Tennes­ see-Chattanooga's Keith Nelson.

Alumni, this is your chance toreturn. This is the time that memoriessurface, and you visit the campus which consumed a great deal of your time and your life. This weekend, your college days will be remembered. However, Homecoming should not be the only time you remember your alma mater. Keep Appalachian State on your minds at all times. You devoted your life to the institution when you first stepped into Boone as a freshman. Remain devoted. Today's Appalachian students are faced with many of the same problems that you, as a student, were faced with. Today's students have other concerns as well. The state of North Carolina has a number of financial hardships to overcome in the ensuing years. Today, as in years past, state legislators, as well as campus administrators, are forced to make tough decisions regarding the use of funds. Outside input is needed to see that these decisions are made wisely. Alumni, you can aid your alma mater and today's students by providing input. Your group as an influential power is often neglected. Do not allow yourselves to be neglected. You have a voice. Use it. Often, your voice is more powerful than that of students. Both students and administrators recognize that fact. You have graduated. You have moved into the professional world, establishing yourselves in prominent positions through­ out the state and nation. In many cases, graduates are more financially stable than undergraduates. Almuni, apply your influence. Keep in touch with the happenings of your alma mater. Be aware of the problems that students are facing. Realize that these are financially tough times and every dollar should be utilized. Be aware that decisions are made every day as to the future of your alma mater. Those decisions affect today's students, future students, yourselves and future alumni. Whether it's a decision regarding a student fee increase or the building of a new campus facility, you should make yourselves knowledgeable about such decisions. Once you attain the knowledge of today's happenings, you can affect the future. Keep in touch with legislators and administrators. Allow your voice to be heard. Let those whoaffect today's students know that youcare. Keep in mind that you were students once, and feel obligated to help those that are here today. Alumni, your support of today's students is appreciated. Enjoy this Home­ coming, but most importantly, remember this is your home. Aid your family members by applying your influence to today's decisions at Appalachian State University. "Baseball is a number-crunching game." —Marcus McCachren The fervor and fanaticism so loudly expressed over the Atlanta Braves' rise to World Series fame has all but ended; say the word "Braves" these days, and you are more likely to get a sour look than a sweet one. There is even talk in some Southern cities of deleting a certain line from the National Anthem so that we will not have to continually wallow in our shame while waiting for the first ball to be thrown out. It all goes to show us something we should have known by this point; if hope springs eternal, disappointment stings profoundly. I can't immediately recall anyone I know or have met who wouldn't have given an unsolicited testimonial on the excellence of the Braves and the great game with no more provocation than the nod of a head or the wave of a hand. "My wife even watched part of the game," remarked one newfound enthusiast. Post-game parties thundered into the early hours of morning, sometimes until daylight, as students heralded new and much-needed heroes; even on nights when At­ lanta didn't win, services were held long into the night. mourning the loss of stardom and vowing revenge against the heretical Twins. Betting pools ran amok, even as far along as the bottom of the ninth inning. Sometimes even into extra innings, odds were layed on sliders versus change-ups and steals versus throw-outs. The bookies were all betting Twins; as it turns out, this was the smart money, but the bookies weren't betting smart, they were betting out of fear and necessity. Nobody was betting on the Twins; to do so would be heresy or worse. Now the nights are quieter, the lapses between words longer, the faces more dour and less expectant. What was it that made us so hopeful, and now makes us so despon­ dent? • The answer is encapsulated in the comment that began this essay: baseball is a game of numbers. And this is true; the real baseball nuts can tell you who batted what during which season with which team against which team and why. The outcome of the season, or so it appears, is provable by the manipulation and application of the statistics leading up to it. The stats said Atlanta should be where it was, said they should have been able to win the games hands down and said finally that it was at least Dossible. if no t Drobable. that Atlanta could have won possible, not probable, that the final game of the World Series. This one group of statistics laden with momentum should have been able to win game seven of the World Series. But they didn't. And the way the game was played we don' t even have the opportunity to gripe about the umpires and line judges. And we certainly can't complain about the stats. The stats, after all, are real. We can' t depend on stats anywhereelse in life.The stats say that drinking and driving is a leading causeof highway death. Still, folks drink and drive. The stats from the Persian Gulf war say that we killed more of our own people than they did; everybody knows that a stat like that can'tbetrue, and even if it is, we shouldn't have won the war with it. Everybody believes that smoking causes cancer and cholesterol causes hean believe the stats that say so. ^ The bookies knew better.

Editor's note:Williams is a graduate studert inb VneiM 0fT No yearbook means memories are los By BRIAN WINKLER Appalachian Staff Writer Whoa, where did I go? I was here a minute ago, but now I can't be found. Well, I've got to be in here, so let me just check the yearbook index for what page I'm on. Well, maybe I'm wrong—the in­ dex says I'm not in here after all. I can still remember the very first day I ever went to school. My mom asked me if I would be okay as she parked the car and w alked withme up to theelementary school building. We stood out in front of the building for a minute or two while she assured me that everything would be fun, and the people would be nice. I leaned up against a wooden fence near the lunch­ room, and she took my picture. Unbe­ knownst to me at the time, this "first day at school" picture would become one of my favorites in the family photo album. Part of what I remember about that first day at school I could never forget no matter how hard I might try, while other parts (such as the clothes I was wearing) I needed a picture to help jog my memory. That's really what pictures are all about anyway: preserving moments in an eternal memory bank so that they are never forgotten. I wish my memory was as good as a picture. There are so many things I've done since I was little that I can remember. Yet every day these moments are slowly disappearing from my recollection. Since I have no written notes or photographs, once these memories aregone, theseevents are also effectively gone. Many people wonder about a lone tree falling in the woods. If no one hears it, they ask, then did it really make a sound? Ho w do you know, they ask? By the same token, if something happened, but absolutely no one remem­ bers it, then did that thing really happen? How can you tell, I ask? I have already buried so many things so far back in my mind that they need real coercion to be recalled. I can still remem­ ber hogging the phone in the kitchen while playing "House" in kindergarten. I can still remember saying goodbye to my first "girlfriend" Crystal in the third grade.

A sleepy college student rolls over in her bed and hits her alarm clock, knocks it to the floor and mumbles a few choice words. She rolls back over, stares at the ceiling and real­ izes first that the noise has not stopped, and then that it is not her alarm clock that is making the noise in the fust place. Our college student comes to her con­ clusion using two pieces of evidenceone, her alarm clock has never been that loud, and two, her alarm clock does not make a noise so closely resembling an electric guitar and drums. So, our college student once again rolls over, retrieves her battered alarm clock from the floor, and glances at it through one half-opened eye. It is 8:15 a.m. The college student puUs her comforter over her head, shuts her eyes and draws a final conclusion: the Anthrax fans living upstairs must have a nine o'clock class. Quiet-hour rules in residence halls state that no resident can play loud music be­ tween the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a m on weekdays and 12 a.m. to 10 a.m.on week­ ends. Usually this helps eliminate some incidents like the one described above. The only change in quiet-hour rules that I would advocate is the extension of week day quiet hours to 10 a.m. for us late sleepiers.

This special edition on "Alcohol And You" is presented as an educa­ tional, informative public service. Decisions regarding alcohol consumption are a matter of individual belief and practice. The information contained within has been de­ signed to offer information in your decision-making pro­ cess. Information for this report comes from "Alcohol Practices, Policies, and Potentials of American Colleges and Univer­ sities." It was published by the U.S. Department of Health And Human Services.

QUESTION ; What is the typical procedure when the Sheriffs department responds to a call? • Last year, alcohol lifted the spirits of 100,000 Americans (the number of Americans who died in alcohol- related accidents.) LT. EDMISTEN ; It would depend on the individual circumstances at the time. Our.normal department procedure is to issue a warning the first time. If we receive a second complaint from the same party we issue citations to the person in charge of that party since they are responsible for anything that occurs there.

A mixed drink made with one shot 1 1/2 ounces of hard liquor has more alcohol in it as a 12-ounce can of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine. I can personally relate to this as I had a drunk driver hit me head on six years ago, knocking me out of work for three months. Drunk driving is not only costly to the driver, but also to the victim whether it may be loss of property, time off from work, or loss of life. -Suiuosiod ioqoo[B pagBO si siqj, •qjB9p asnBO UB3 ( 0J9 'S9UIB3/SJS9JU03 3ui -sjuup) jsbj 001 'loqoajB ipnui ooj SupiuuQ •qjBaaq aqj jo 'auun 'jb9ms bia paSuBqsun paiBUiuiqa si pauinsuoo ioqoo[B jo %g jnoqs A[uq "U9aii aqi Aq 03H P118 300 °JU1 pazqoqBiaui si loqoDjB jo %g6 * -asj •saiiaoj aaqSiq ui saiBui 3uouib si 3JBJ jsaqSiq puooas aqj, •anax 21 '9TUX'I1 9jiqA\ •J09XJ9 [BUIIUIU1 A[9AIJBJBdU103 B 9ABL[ '010 'SJJULip UI UOlJBUOqiBO 'i93{uup JO pOOUIl 'qoBuiojs ui pooj sb qons sjojobj aaqiQ * •9TUX " •jnoq J9d (loqoojB aand) jouBqja jo saouno Z/T °7 £/l jnoqe azqoqBiaui ubd j9aij aqj, %0I' si Jiuiq aqj, 'jpis •9TUJ •9S[Bj noA 9j(bui Abui ;i jng •9S[Bj 'JJB39J ou SBq jnq 'Suiuoipunj st uosjad y BIS9UUIBJ0 adA; BsijnojpBig •asiej P9SB9J3UI SI 9JBI 4.

"Beirole model and a friend to youth is ({ratifying for our volunteers." lis year ACT, Appalachian and the •unity Together, has trained more tlOOnew volunteers. ACT now has approximately 300 active volunteers, a number that has steadily increased since ACT was formed four years ago, accord­ ing to Kerry Claus, an ACT volunteer. "ACT is an organization that is de­ signed to bridge the gap between students and residents of the local community," Claus said. Claus said she thinks one reason ACT has more volunteers than before is be­ cause of the publicity ACT has received and because of ACT's relocation to the Plemmons Student Union, which has cre­ ated more visibility for the organization. "I think another reason more students are volunteering now than before is be­ cause a lot of students have extra time, and they want to give their time to others," said Claus. "Another reason students volunteer is because it provides them with good expe­ rience in their fields, and it helps prepare them for their careers once they gradu­ ate," she added. Claus said she feels another reason for the increase in volunteerism is because of the changing attitude of college students. "Our generation has become aware that money isn't the most important thing," said Claus. "People are realizing that giving of yourself in other ways and not getting monetary return is important also." According toClaus, volunteering makes students feel good about themselves. "A lot of times volunteers feel bad saying that volunteering helped them be­ cause they feel like they are supposed to be helping others," Claus said. According to Rhea Hebert, the literacy program librarian with the Watauga County Literacy Association, it is very hard to help someone and not get some­ thing back from it. The literacy associa­ tion helps Watauga County residents who are 16 and older leant to read. "Many people who enjoy reading vol­ unteer with us because it upsets them that some people are missing out on the enjoy­ ment of reading because they can'tread," said Hebert. Hebert said the organization consists of 38 volunteers, and that several of the volunteers are college students. "The volunteers I have talked to volun­ teer because they get something out of it. It makes them feel good about them­ selves," said Hebert.

Off-trail wanderings are causing wildlife destruction SUZILANDIS ipalachian Staff Writer litis who wander off trails at GrandittMountain and the Blue Ridge Parkiy are causing problems in a delicate tkjical system, said Brian Repass, ndfaiher Mountain park ranger and 1student. Manawha Trail on the Blue Ridge Is»y and the trails of Grandfather •tain are losing unique plants due to fewho venture off the trails. oan reforms uggested Off-trail exploring has increased with the presence of the Via-duct, according to Repass. The Via-duct was built to keep the natural environment intact. Instead, the Via-duct is tempting people to park their cars and venture up the mountain, making their own trails. Repass said. These bushwack or unauthorized trails are not only destroying the plants, but are also speeding up the process of erosion. The exposed soilon self-made trails com­ plicates the damages to the area and spe­ cies, thus, adding a new dimension to the problem. "The basis of our job is informing the people. They don't realize they're trampling on endangered species," said Repass.

"We 're not doing it to keeppeople from having fun," Repass said. "Designated trails are usually there for a reason." Right now, officials from the Parkway and Grandfather Mountain are relying on education to control this problem. They hope to show the public the consequence of their off-trail explorations in hopes the damage will stop. Repass said. Editor's note: "The Blowing Rocket" contributed to this article.

(CPS)—Too bad money does not grow on trees. If it did, colleges and universities would not be so worried—or so frustrated.They would not be chop-chop-chopping away at their budgets, either. Financial problems resulting from state and federal cuts are hurling schools from east to west, big to small. Administrators across the board are trimming expenses wherever they can with only one general rule of thumb—under no circumstances eliminate anything that will compromise the quality of education. Unfortunately, everything else is fair game. Travel expenses, marching bands, stu­ dent government associations, faculty pay, custodial and construction jobs, college radio and new computers—hardly any­ thing is exempt these days as administra­ tors try to plan for the 1992-93 academic year while still recovering—or falling further into debt—from 1991-92. "We've just about reached the limit," said one frustrated academic. Others agree and are trying hard to justify cuts and tuition increases to a student population growing more hostile. In the past six weeks, students in both Florida and Iowa held statewide protests against massive cuts and tuition increases in the two states. Iowa students dec ided to boycott classes for a day, while the Florida students marched on the Capitol and subsequently started a shouting match with Gov. Lawton Chiles. In other states, protests have gained less attention. Administrators say that for each angry student there is an empalhetic one. They add that as long as the cuts do not affect academic programming di­ rectly, students will not notice much dif­ ference. The budget cuts "will affect us as a community—we've had to cutpositions," Chris Cihlar, director of public informa­ tion at St. Mary's College in Maryland, told the student newspaper, when a $1.5 million cut was announced. "But from the student's point of view, the cuts will prob­ ably not be noticed. You can't sacrifice your main purpose, which is your aca­ demic program and your future." Some of the non-academic cuts across the country include: • The elimination of nearly one-third of the custodial staff at Iowa State, where offices and research laboratories are no longer part of a daily maintenance clean­ ing program. John Sluis, assistant director of facili­ ties management,said the 158-person staff lost 48 people. "Everyone at the university is aware that the budget is tight," he said. "The service side is doing its part to maintain the academic side....While no one enjoys it, they've been accepting it." Iowa State has also trimmed student hours at its campus radio station, WOIAM and FM, among other cuts. • The University of Nebraska at Lin­ coln is considering the elimination of its construction division that works much like an independent contractor for the university. • Middle Tennessee Stale University, under orders from the Tennessee Board of Regents chancellor, has frozen out-ofstate and out-of-country travel that is not considered essential. Essential travel includes trips to pro­ fessional workshops or trips to confer­ ences at which a professional paper is presented. That freeze, coupled w ith a freeze on equipment purchasing for such items as computers, has"enabled us to saveenough money to keep everything the same" in 1992-93, said Ramona Rice, Middle Tennessee's budget and systems planning director. The more than SI.5 million in savings from the freezes will prevent cuts. Rice says. She adds that about 70 percent of the savings will be reallocated to educational programs. "We are maybe different because we don't have much fat in our administrative services to cut," Rice said. "So, we don't have as much flexibility" in what the school can eliminate. • At the University of Arizona, admin­ istrators eliminated the marching band last year—a $102,000 cut that was re­ versed after an outcry. Still, the band only recovered S82.000 in funding from the school and was forced to raise the rest. Among other things, the band sold Tshirts. • At St. Bonaventure University in New York, the student government has had money temporarily taken from its budget until the administration re-evaluates sec­ ond semester enrollment to determine how much it will return. Student Government President Ed Garry said all the school's departments are handing over money from accounts and are not spending more than half of their allocated funds before Nov. 30, when the school re-examines its situation. 'To my knowledge, most of the money will be replenished," Garry said. But he adds that drops in enrollment will hurt student organizations because they are funded almost solely by a student activity fee. "We aren't really facing cuts," he said. "There's just not enough money for us to be as extravagant as we used to be. We're trying to maintain quality without spend­ ing as much money." • Allegheny College in Pennsylvania echoes Garry's sentiments. The school is See BUDGET page 2 �The Appalachian. Tuesday.

"If they were only volunteering because it was the trendy thing to do, then I don't think they would last long because volunteering is a lot of hard work." Sometimes people look at all the prob­ lems in the world, and they are over­ whelmed, according to Claus.

This natural phenomenon, the Brown Mountain Lights,offers an eveningof cheap,readily available and exciting entertainment. These lights occur on and about Brown Moun­ tain, along, low, even-crested ridge in the foothills of the North Carolina mountains. When they first appear, they are about twice the size of a star or larger. Sometimes they flare up with a silent explo­ sion. Other times they rise up and away, floating like a glowing bubble, and finally "pop" and disap­ pear. Some stories depict the lights "dancing" across the mountain and accomplishing Herculean feats, while others offer "scientific" explanations. Much of the lights' mystique lies in their under­ stated brilliance and their unexplainable origin. The Brown Mountain Lights were first seen around the year 1200. According to Cherokee legend, the lights started appearing after a battle was fought between the Catawba and Cherokee Indians near Brown Mountain. The legend said that the lights were the spirits of the Indian maidens searching for their loved ones who had died in the battle. Even today, they are still searching. Since 1771, when aGerman engineer first docu­ mented them, the lights have puzzled scientists. Gerard William de Brahm said, "the mountains emit nitrous v apors which are borne by the wind, and when laden winds meet each other the niter inflames, sulphurates and deteriorates." At least this scientific explanation is both an accurate de­ scription and a plausible explanation. Later explanations are less accurate and believ­ able. In the early 1900s the lights were supposedly "discovered." So many people flocked to see the ' new" attraction that the U.S. Geological Survey sent an investigator in 1913 todismiss the phenom­ enon. After only two nights of observation, the investigator concluded that most of the lights were the locomotive headlights, automobile headlights and stationary lights from the Catawba River Val­ ley beyond Brown Mountain. It did not take long to pjrove the survey's specu­ lation wrong. In 1916, a flood devastated the Catawba Valley, washing away the roads and knocking out the railroads.The lights kept appear­ ing with unceasing regularity. In fact, right after the flood they were even more frequent. Since then, some people have advanced the theory that the lights are a mirage, the refractions and reflections from the nearby cities of Lenoir, Hickory, Morganton and Blowing Rock. They say the viewer is unaware of the fact that he is at a higher elevation than Brown Mountain. The lights merely appear to be on the crest of or floating above the mountain but are really the lights from the cities beyond the mountain. To test the merit of this theory, this writer observed the mountain from about a mile away and at a definitely lower eleva­ tion. From there I saw one of the most brilliant displays of the Brown Mountain lights I've ever seen. From what those particular theorists and the Geological Survey saw, the above theory may be 100 piercent true. Frommostviewpioints, atahigher elevation than Brown Mountain, city lights from Colletsville, Lenoir and Hudson are seen above the crest of Brown Mountain. Even in 1913, the gas street lamps and headlights could have deceived many viewers. Now, on an unclear night a person can easily look above Brown Mountain and see strange lights appear, shimmer, disappear, then suddenly flare up. On a crystal-clear night, the city lights seem to dance, waver and shimmer. A star will move if you look at it long and hard enough. And now the golden age of airplanes has supplied hundreds of new "Brown Mountain Lights." But anyone who has ever seen the real Brown Mountain Lights knows that they are not city lights, not anything manmade and not something to be dismissed by a simple explanation. Where were the city lights or locomotive headlights in 1200? after the flood in 1916? Does a city light float two or three miles through the air? I have viewed Brown Mountain nearly 30 times and from six different locations and seen the lights on a dozen trips and from four of those locations. The last light was no more explainable than the first. It was no less exciting. In fact, for me, the last light is always the most exciting. It is what keeps me coming back. Most people that have seen the real Brown Mountain lights would agree that it is not a case of "See one, you seen 'em all," or "Once ya seen 'em, ya seen 'em. No need to go back." It's just the opposite—they have a mystical allure that en­ chants people and draws them back continuously. People that have seen false "Brown Mountain lights" might very well go away indifferent, say­ ing, "So what?" But seeing the real lights makes an unmistakable impression. So, are you ready to join the pursuit? Here's how. Grab a girl or guy, bring a blanket, and plan for aromantic evening. Or gather a group of friends and bring the munchies. Or go alone and enjoy the peaceful solitude and magnitude of nature at night. Here are the details needed to plan a night at Wiseman's View, the best place to see the lights. •When to go—A rainy night is not good for the lights or comfort. Dark nights are best—the closer to a new moon the better (or when there is a high, dense cloud over). Avoid foggynights—the clearer the better. (Remember that weather conditions some 30 miles away and at higher altitudesmay be different than in Boone.) •What to bring—Most importantly, you will need a flashlight (the walk from the parking lot to the lookout is about a hundred yards on a wooded trail) and warm clothing (it's usually windier and colder there). A blanket helps if you're going to stay awhile (and maybe a little midnight snack). There are also camping sites within a few miles of the lookout (no permits required between Nov. 1 and April 30). Also bring your patience. •When to leave Boone—Try to leave about an hour before dark. The trip takes about 45 minutes. If you get there before dark you can better orient yourself (so you'll know where to look). Plus, some pieople say the lights are more frequent just after dark. (Make sure you have plenty of gas before you leave. There are not many gas stations on the way.) •How to get there—Go down South 105 for about 18 miles until you get to Linville. You'll see a single stop light—go straight. In about three and a half miles you will reach a T-intersection. Turn left and you will beon South 221. (Remember this intersection so you won't miss it on the way back.) In about one and a half miles the road will fork. Stay on 221 by turning right. Be careful—there are some tricky curves on this road.

Sandy Feutz, a junior majoring in social work, had an idea. Feutz knew she could do something to help solve the problem of the large amount of waste piroduced on campus. She had heard from a friend about a school that required its students to use reusuable cups. She then went to see Ron Dubberly, food services director, with this idea in mind. Dubberly was eager to help cut down on waste and thought the idea of using reusuable cups on campus was fea­ sible. Feutz applied for a Think Globally, Act Locally award. The University Environmental Issues Com­ mittee distributes $2,000 annually in Think Glo­ bally, Act Locally awards. The awards Are given (usually in sums of no greater than $1,000) to pieople who propiose a piroject attempting to solve, concerning or studying alocal env ironmental prob­ lem. Feutz received the award and started the project. Food Services ordered 1,600 small and 1,600 large insulated cups to sell for $1.99 and $2.29 respectively. Feutz was amazed at how quickly the cups sold out. More cups were ordered and now 7,000of these cups have been sold, which Dubberly THE CUP LADY: Sandy Feutz, eating with friend Jenny Mason, has been featured in the November estimates to have saved a million disposable issue of Glamour magazine for her efforts in promoting reusable cups not only on campus but in the cups."Sandy was instrumental in getting the project community as well. off the ground," Dubberly said. "Without her help we might still be only thinking about offering cups." The cupis are insulated, so they are useful for either hot or cold drinks. Students receive a dis­ count on drink purchases for using the cupis at any food service location on campus. Feutz did not stop at this point, though. She apiplied for another Think Globally, Act Locally award to continue the project. Feutz went on to local restaurants to interest them in accepting the cups. First she sent out form letters, followed up with phone calls to see who was interested. She then returned to talk with interested restaurant managers. Fortunately, many restaurants gave a positiveresponse. Bob Mowery of OurDaily Bread said of Feutz's piroject, "When she prresented the idea to me I knew it was a good idea because it helps the environment and the students at the same time." Part of the money from the award will go toward advertising. Ads shall be placed in The Appalachian newspapier, announcing restaurants accept­ ing food services cups. Flyers will also be printed in a campaign to remind pieople to consistently use their cupis. The rest of the award money will go to the printing of decals. Restaurant owners can place these in their windows or doors indicating the establishment's acceptance of the cupis. Some of the restaurants honoring the cups will offer dis­ counts for bringing in and using the food services cups. Some will charge only the price of a refill, See STUDENT page 6 Homecoming events designed to entertain all By JENNIFER FORNARO Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University's 1991 Home­ coming celebration on Nov. 8 and 9 offers many exciting events designed to entertain all types of crowds. The festivitiesinclude amixture of old and new events. Homecoming kicks of f this year on Friday, No v. 8 at 4 p.m. with the annual Homecoming Parade. The parade will travel through downtown Boone, making a circle around the campus. Sebey Jones has been invited as Grand Marshall this year.

A Distinguished Alumni Award Social and Dinner will be held at the Broyhill Inn Friday night at 6 p.m. Following the dinner, there will be an Alumni Kickoff Party and Dance, also at the Broyhill Inn. "Alumni are an impiortant part of Appalachian. They are the loyal fans, and they show so much support," said William Birch, a graduate student. "When the alumni come back, you get to see familiar faces and reunite with old friends." Homecoming Day, Saturday, Nov. 9, will begin with the Alumni Council Breakfast at Broyhill Inn at 9 a.m. Throughout the morning, there will be a Depiartmental Opien House on campus. The Tailgate Party begins at 10:30 a.m. at Duck Pond Field. There will be music and food provided by a host of vendors.

"The team doesn't get to enjoy all of the festivities going on, so the game is really our Homecoming." Internship Fair offers potential opportunities By KELLY KEITH Appalachian Staff Writer The Career Development Center will sponsor an Internship Fair Wednesday, Nov. 6. The event will be held in the mini mall of the student union from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thirty businesses will be available to present information to students on internship experiences. Companies from North Carolina, Tennessee and New Hampshire will.be represented at the fair. Students will have the opportunity to talk with many different companies at the fair. They can choose which internship/work experience best re­ lates to their academic training. Many of the com^^ • panies specify which major their internship would be most beneficial to; however, several are openended, and any major is acceptable. The purpose of an internship is to serve as a bridge between the classroom and the working world. Internships offer practical experience, so the students have a chance tosee if this type of work is what they want to do after graduation. Students can also gain job hunting experience and establish contacts. "The purpose of the Internship Fair is to provide students with the opportunity for future careers," said Debbie Thomas. Many ASU departments will be participating in the fair including communications, English and history. They will be available to answer any queswi-iiu iUM •• • w .»w. »..•» tions on the various careers in their particular major. An ASU graduate student Doug Dewar experi­ enced the benefits of working as an intern this past summer. He worked with the North Carolina State Government Internship Program in Raleigh. "Through this internship, I really got to see what the government and the people who work in gov­ ernment really do. It was a very rewarding experi­ ence," said Dewar. Dewar encourages students to try and get an internship in their field."It will give you a grasp on what you want to do in your career and give you the opportunity to learn more skills that will help you later in your career." Some of the companies attending the Internship Fair are from different areas in government includ- ing: Institute of Government, Legal Services of the Blue Ridge, N.C. Department of Corrections, Watauga Correctional Center and the N.C. State Government Internship Program. Other organizations that will be represented are: Franklin Life, Hickory Museum of Art, IDS Finan­ cial Services, N.C. Amateur Sports, Student Con­ servation Association, Watauga County Parks and Recreation, Communi-Care/Pro-Rehab, Hospital­ ity House, Watauga Youth Network and Camp Cheerio. The Internship Fair is an excellent time to learn about careers and open internship positions.

Just after the parkway, there will be a small motel on the left. Then about amile later, around a downhill curve -to the right, you will see the bright lights of the Linville Falls Motel and Restaurant. Turn left here onto highway 183. After about one mile on 183, you will be going downhill, and ahead you will see a big curve to the left. You will see a large brown sign saying, "Linville Gorge Wil­ derness Area," and a gravel road. Go onto jhis gravel road. (A couple of miles ahead, small section of the road will be paved— tay left and the road will turn to gravel figain.) After about three and a half miles, the gravel road will fork—you will see a Sign saying "Wiseman's View"—go left. A few hundred yards will bring you to a large parking lot. The overlook is down the trail. At the end of the trail is aclearing. Go down the steps. •What you will see—Looking straight ahead you will see two high mountain peaks. The one to the right with a flat top is Table Rock Mountain. The one to the left is Hawksbill Mountain. (If you look Closely it looks like a hawk's bill.) These ( two peaks areconnected by a ridge. Brown Mountain is the long, flat ridge that spans nearly the entire gap between Table Rock and Hawksbill. Look at the crest of Brown Mountain to the left, the side away from the city. But also look at the top of Table Rock. Many of the lights have been seen here. Some­ times there will be a bright explosion. Sometimes they will look like a star that has just risen over Table Rock—until they float away. They will look like glowing spheres—they usually rise and float to­ ward the left, sometimes completely past the city, then go out. Look for the same things over Brown Mountain. •What to expect—Expect a lot of fun. The lights are finicky, though. They don't appear everynight. Sometimes they won't appear for hours and then will start appear­ ing all of a sudden. An average interval between lights when they do appear is five or ten minutes. I've never stayed for more than a couple of hours without at least one. Join the Brown Mountain Light pur­ suit! Good Luck. Have hope and have fun.

Onthirddown from the13, quarterback I.Campbell had his pass tipped by senior linebacker Bill Melby, and senior linebacker David Brodsky stepped up and made the interception to thwart the Appa­ lachian scoring opportunity. The Mountaineer defense came upwith a turnover on the ensuing Bulldog posses­ sion to keep ASU's hopes alive. On sec­ ond down from the Mountaineer 33-yard line, quarterback Jack Douglas faked a reverse and threw the ball deep to wide receiver Cornell Caldwell, but ASU cornerback Mark Mayo was in great posi­ tion and made the interception in the end zone. The interception was Mayo's fourth of the year and gave the ball back to the Apps with over nine minutes remaining in the game. After moving the ball down to The Citadel 35-yard line, the Mountaineers faced a fourth and nine situation with five minutes left to play.Campbell found tight end Jon Marx open on the right sideline for 13 yards to keep the drive alive. Three plays later, after an illegal proce­ dure penalty pushed ASU back five yards, Applachian faced a fourth-and-ten at the 22-yard line. This time, Campbell forced a pass into double coverage at the fiveyard line. Marx was again the intended receiver but was unable to come up with the leaping grab. The Bulldogs were then able to run out the remaining 3:36 and hand the Moun­ taineers their first conference defeat of the season. ASU is now 6-3 overall and 5 -1 in league play. Despite scoring only 10 points, Appa­ lachian was able to move the ball effec­ tively against The Citadel defense. The Mountaineers racked up 358 total yards compared to the Bulldogs 339. Campbell completed 22 of 32 passes for 205 yards, and freshman tailback Chip Hooks car­ ried the ball 20 times for 93 yards. Douglas was the star for the Bulldogs, rushing for 115 yards and throwing for 90 more, including a52-yard touchdown pass with one minute remaining in the first half. After ASU had marched 75 yards in 11 plays, capped by fullback J.K. Reaves' one yard touchdown dive, The Citadel took over at their own 20 with 2:48 to play in the second quarter. Four straight running plays moved the ball to the 48-yard line where Douglas faked an option and then found Caldwell open behind Appalachian free safety Gary Dandridge. The pass hitCaldwell instride at the 15-yard line, and Caldwell streaked into the end zone to push the Bulldog lead back to 10 points. "I think it's obvious how important that play was," Moore said. "It's a play that takes a lot out of you. I thought we over­ came that play, and we had every oppor­ tunity to win that ballgame, and we didn't take advantage." "We knew the free safety was flying through the gaps," Douglas explained of the game-winning play. "They were read­ ing the crack block as options, so the receiver faked the crack block and then ran down the field. We thought we might be able to beat them deep, but they have such a good secondary we weren't sure."

"We think that with four ills and (point guard Rodney) Peel 1we're serious contenders to win the pin son and tournament champikip," The Mountaineers return a frontcourt that is perhaps the most talented and in­ timidating front line in the conference. The trio of 6'8" forward Steve Spurlock, 6'7" forward Ricky Nedd and 6'9"center Tim Powers helped the Mountaineers set a conference record with 155 blocked shots last season. Spurlock is the Apps' biggest offensive weapon and shot blocker.The senior from Omaha, Ne., drilled home 18.6 points a contest and rejected 56 shots en route to an all-conference selection. Powers, also a native of Omaha, is a solid offensive player and a banger on the boards. He was the third-leading scorer for the Mountaineers last season and paced the squad with 8.1 rebounds a contest. Nedd, a sophomore out of New York City, was a pleasant surprise in his rookie season for Appalachian. He started in 20 games as a frosh and finished the year with an 11.6 scoring clip. Nedd topped the squad in field goal percentage, hitting an astounding 69.9 percent of his shots. He finished the year just eight field goals shy of qualifying for the conference and NCAA field goal percentage ranking. The Mountaineers' depth in the frontcourt was hindered thissummer when Broderick Parker, who contributed 13.4 points and 5.7 rebounds a game, was de­ clared academically ineligible. By LYDIA E.

Leigh Wallace, seen on the left, and Nicole Disher, on the right, both placed in the top 10 for ASU. Appalachian State totaled two all-con­ ference performances and 41 points to finish second in the SC Cross Country Championships behind powerhouse East Tennessee State who finished one-twothree to total 17 points in the meet. Marshall finished third with 80, fol­ lowed by Furman with 106 points. Ten­ nessee-Chattanooga, Western Carolina, Virginia Military and TheCitadel rounded out the meet with 124, 135, 140 and 204 points respectively. "It wasn't as close as we had hoped, but I am pleased with the team. ETSU is a very strong team and we knew that they only had five decent runners and if they had any problems, we could make it an interesting race, but their guys held to­ gether to capture five of the top six places and win the meet," ASU Head Coach Al Fereshetian said. The M ountaineers werepaced bysopho­ more Billy Pcmberton who clocked 25:25 on the 8-kilometer course to finish fourth overall, and senior Steve Simandle fin­ ished 10th with a personal best time of 26:10. Both competitors were named allconference. Freshman Brian Miesch finished 14th at 26:26 followed by senior Mike Bowers at 18th with a personal best time of 26:39. Junior Brian Watkins rounded out the ASU top five with a 25th place finish and a time of 26:59. "You have to look at the times, not the places. The conditions on the day of the race were relatively bad, and the weather affected everyone to a certain extent. It was 35 degrees and there were 25 mile per hour winds blowing that day off of the lake, and itwas extremely brisk andslowed everyone's performance. We ran the way we wanted to, and I am very pleased with us. I felt comfortable with our perfor­ mance despite the gap in the score be­ cause our guys tried to find a way to win, and we put ourselves in good position. ETSU is just the favorite now. It is an honor to have such a strong squad in our conference to compete with," Fereshetian said. Freshmen M ark Noble, Robert Kirkland and Brad Price also turned in good perfor­ mances for the Apps. Noble finished 30th i with a27:14 clocking, while Kirkland and ' Price finished 37th and 39th with respec-j live times of 27:33 and 27:42. In addition to the weather conditions * that may have inhibited performance, the, Mountaineers had a bad break as senior David Ess fell at the beginning of the race, never to fully recover, finishing at thei bottom of the pack. ETSU sophomore Seamus Power cap­ tured the individual title for the second consecutive year clocking 24:23, while Furman's Gene Mullin was honored as men's coach-of-the-year. The Mountaineers' next meet will be the NCAA District III meet in two weeks. "We will be contending for the top 15.

"Dee Anna had fallen back earlier in the season and did an outstanding job in the ttipet coming on very strong. Julie and Janet had not even been in the top five for their last two years on the team and fin­ ished out their seasons to be named allconference.

For years foreign language has been part of the high school curriculum, with most college preparatory programs requiring at least two years of a second language. Most high schools offer between two and four years of French and Spanish, with many also offering Latin and German. Some larger schools offer Japanese or Russian. With the BEP, children in the younger grades would also have the chance to learn another language, usually French or Spanish. The certifi­ cation for foreign language teachers was changed from a secondary certification, allowing them to teach grades nine through 12, to a special subjects certification, allowing them to teach kindergarten through 12th grade. Elementary and middle grades education majors, who are required to have a concentration, or second major, are given the option of concentrating in a foreign language. The number of teachers qualified to teach foreign language in the elementary grades is thus in­ creased. lanThe increase in opportunities to leant a second lan guage has many advantages for students. Those opposing Yes, there are some areas in the education system that could stand improvement North Carolina ranks 50th in the nation in SAT scores. Schools are overcrowded, teachers are overworked and underpaid and there have been instances across the nation in which students graduated from high school either not knowing how to read or barely knowing how. These instances are not necessarily the fault of individual teachers but of the system itself. The teaching of basic skills needs to be improved. Opposers of the BEP argue that we should not try to teach another language to students who can barely read English. Learning a second language does require a firm grip on, not necessarily English skills, but language skills in gen­ eral, and students who have trouble with English will probably have trouble with a foreign language. However, studying a foreign language may actually help students in their skills in English. Latin, for example, is the basis for all Romance lan­ guages—French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, etc. En­ glish, which has both Romance and Germanic roots, has many origins in Latin. Students who take Latin may show improvement in their English skills as well as having an easier time learning another language such as French or Spanish. Although Latin is considered a"dead language," knowledge of it is a very good skill to have as a basis for learning other languages. Spanish is on its way to becoming the second official language of the United States. Just south of the United States are Mexico, Central America and South America, all of which are dominantly Spanish-speaking areas. Im­ migration from these countries into the United States is ecosteady as Hispanics move to escape the worsened eco­ Hispanics nomic conditions of their native lands. Therefore, learn­ ing Spanish can not only help a student find a job but may also help him or her in everyday interactions with people. French has had a great influence on the English lan­ guage due to history. In 1066, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (a section of northern France) inv aded England, defeated Anglo-Saxon King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings and became King WilliamI of England, beginning a new dynasty in English royalty which contin­ ues to this day. When William became king and set up his court, the French language began its influence over the original Anglo-Saxon version of the English language. All high court officials under William were required to speak French, as was basically anyone who wanted to be anybody in England during the days of the Norman kings. Today, about 60 percent of English words have some French origins. Many of them, such as "restaurant," "hors-d'oeuvres" and "rendez-vous" are taken directly from French. Knowledge of French can help a student pick up English skills more quickly. A large percentage of foreign companies and corpora­ tions in the United States are Japanese- or German-based. Knowledge of either of these languages is helpful if one wants to get a position in these companies. German and Japanese are a little harder to learn than French or Spanish. However, English, one of the hardest languages of all to learn, is quickly becoming a worldwide language. A large number of Europeans speak fluent English and started learning it very early in their schooling. The advantage to beginning foreign language educa­ tion in the early grades is that students can begin early mastering the skills necessary for learning a language. Therefore, when they reach high school, they have the background necessary to succeed in any required foreign language courses and will probably make better grades in English classes, too.

We should try to preserve Loft, App House Loss of house, loft would be tragic To the Editor: I would like to share some thoughts regarding your recent article on the state of the New York Loft and Washington App House. I feel strongly that their loss would be tragic for the university. As a former director of the loft, I believe the New York experience enriches a person in many ways. In addition to the obvious educational opportunities found in the arts, there are the sights, sounds and smells of foreign culture. With Chinatown, Little Italy and Soho all within easy walking distance of the loft, a trip to New York is not unlike a trip to Europe. The experience broadens a person's knowledge of and appreciation for divergent lifestyles, changing their perspective and outlook on life. Ask anyone who has been there. Because Appalachian is situated in a rural setting, the NY Loft and App House are our gateways to contempo­ rary culture, and, as such, are fantastic recruitment tools for faculty and students alike. Few schools can boast of facilities for such minimal costs. The loft is located in Tribeca, which has recently been developed by up-scale resident neighbors such as ShearsonLehman and Robert DeNiro, and it is easily accessible by car, taxi or subway. You can safely park your car across the street. New York is approximately 11 hours by car. Most field trips drive up on Wednesday and drive back on Sunday, giving you three days and four nights to explore the city. The camara­ derie shared by students with similar interests always makes these trips a pleasant experience, and no matter what your interests, New York has much to offer. On a single trip last fall, we got in to watch David Letterman and Saturday Night Live (using standby tickets we obtained at NBC), saw the traditional sights, galleries, museums, a Broadway play, and we still had plenty of time for personal interests, such as shopping or seeing a Mets game. I encourage all students and faculty to please take advantage of a valuable resource by visiting the NY Loft or Washington App House, either by yourself, with some friends or by scheduling a field trip. We may be forced to use it or lose it. Ed Midgett Assistant Professor Department of Art Distributed by Tribune Media Services 5. Ajw\ USA- Qturlont fesplv thnt Student feels that slamming is needed To the Editor: This letter concerns the A.P.P.S. Stage Show Johnny Quest on Thursday evening, Oct. 31. It is necessary to point out that part of this band's success is strongly due to the level of energy and entertaining obnoxious attitude of the band's members. That is what students pay for and expect to see at a concert such as this one. However, ASU feels it is necessary to ban slam-dancing at A.P.P.S-sponsored stage shows. This ban only creates frustration for those students who attend shows like Johnny Quest and represses the energy that bands like Johnny Quest generate. For the performance on Halloween, Legends constructed barriers in front of the stage to keep slam-dancing under control. Unfortunately, these barriers were constructed with a couple of boards and a couple of nails. It may have been just as effective if the barriers were constructed with cardboard and a couple of bobby pins. The barrier broke within the first thirty seconds of the first song, at which time the advisor to the Concert Council and the manager of Legends, Randall Kelly, proceeded to nail it back together with two nails the size of thumb tacks! I happened to be standing right in front of the broken portion when this happened and almost got crushed between the two boards. I would like to know how this guy got his job because this was ridiculous! The concert staff, of about four people, tried to hold the crowd, of about 500 people, back and the barrier broke again. At this point I noticed nails sticking out in several places and boards falling. I told Randall Kelly that the barrier was dangerous in its condition and would cause more injuries than allowing the crowd to approach the stage. In response, he told me to get out if I couldn't handle it. What he did not realize was that I paid for my ticket and knew what to expect from the concert. It was his absurd scheme to control a crowd that was not even out of control that caused more problems. Whose idea was it to ban slam-dancing anyway? I've never heard of a lawsuit against the university for a slam-dancing accident. What did ASU do during the punk movement, ban black leather? Get with the times, ASU; students who pay to attend a show like Johnny Quest know what to expect. If someone is that concerned about getting hurt then they need to stay at home and play records. ASU needs to get a clue and stop interfering. (Especially considering that students pretty much pay to exist while they're in college.) The students here are far from destructive and if the university is concerned about potential destructiveness, cross that bridge when you get to it, but give us a chance! If ASU, or Randall Kelly, continues to repress energy in entertainment, what ASU will have on its hands can only be termed, a youth revolution! Lisa Galulio ASU Box 21389 Bills attempt to protect our forests To the Editor: Recently I likened U.S. Forest Service Leadership's obsession with clearcutting to an infection or disease called "clearcutitis" and how the country israllying to halt its spread. Congress, too, is searching for medications strong enough to cure the U.S.F.S. Leadership. Here's an explana­ tion of remedies that "Congressional Doc­ tors" are debating in committees; H.R. 2501—sponsor, Rep. Jim Jontz—prohib­ its below-cost sales; H.R. 842—same sponsor—would designate a National Ancient Forest Reserve System to protect significant ancient stands in Washington, Oregon and California and prohibit log­ ging or road-buiiding in these areas and create a network of associated forests to help wildlife-dependent on old growth to survive; H.R. 1969—sponsor, Rep. Jim Bryant—would ban clearcutting on all federal lands and require maintenance of native biodiversity. More information may be obtained by writing to sponsors. Co-sponsors are needed. If you know a representative or senator, please ask him or her to co-sponsor. Committee chairs— Congressmen Harold Volkman, Ede la Garza and George Miller, House of Rep­ resentatives, Washington, D.C., 20515 need your input.The Senate needs similar bills and committee chairs, Senators Dole Bumpers, Patrick Leahy and Wyche Fowler, Senate Office Building, Wash­ ington, D.C., 20510 are waiting to hear from you. Must certain "timber locusts"consume the last grand trees standing? They mis­ manage their holdings and scream that there's a timber shortage. This and other misinformation helps them buy our for­ ests at below-cost with the cooperation of the U.S.F.S. leadership. They sel1 our raw timber to our competitors, the Japanese, Germans and others at the expense of our own workers. Must mismanagement, liq­ uidation and short-term profiteering con­ tinue? Grandfather, grandmother and friends! The U.S.F.S. Leadership deserves our at­ tention if it's to recover from "clearcutitis" and complications.

Autumn seems to be on the way out, and with it are most of the sightseers who have been crowding Boone's streets. The last of the leaves are now being taken away, leaving many ASU students to wait restlessly for snow. lachian State students can be attributed to their apathy or their support of the fees. "If students agree with the fees, maybe that's why they didn't show up," Murphy said. Murphy suggested that students who want to learn more about fees can read The Appalachian, attend RSA meetings, talk with senators, go to the senate offices on the second floor of Workman Hall or call student government. "It really hurts when you want to do what you are supposed to do as an organi­ zation to get information to the students, and then they don't respond," Murphy said. Grad school rates up While the road to graduationmay seem never-ending to many undergraduates, the decision to continue formal education is gaining popularity, according to Dr. Joyce Lawrence, Dean of the Appalachian State University's Cratis D. Williams Graduate School. "Our numbers are up slightly," said Lawrence. Although the enrollment increase can­ not be attributed to one particular event, the current economic crunch is definitely a key factor, according to Lawrence. With the job market as dismal and competitive as it is now, more students are inclined to remain in school to pursue a masters de­ gree, Lawrence said. The dean provided another possibility for the larger applicant pool, "I think we're becoming better known as a gradu­ ate school. We're doing a better job of recruiting." Cratis D. Williams was a graduate dean throughout much of the 1960s and 1970s. Shortly before his death several years ago, the university decided to honor the first graduate dean by naming the school after him. Thus, the Cratis D. Williams Gradu­ ate School became official. The program has grown every year since, and now educates approximately 1,000 students. While these men and women come from diverse backgrounds, according to Lawrence, they are fairly typical of gradu­ ate students everywhere. Students range in age from those in their mid-20s to those in their mid-60s and come from all over to attend Appalachian's graduate program. Many students, however, do not have to travel far. According to a study con­ ducted eight years ago, 60 percent of Appalachian's graduate students received their bachelors degree here. While thisnumber hasdropped slightly since the study, it is impressive, espe­ cially in comparison to other University of North Carolina schools. For example, this year the University of North Carolina at Wilmington accepted a record-break­ ing 384 graduate students. According to Eric Bolan, Dean of UNCW Graduate School, 119 of these 384, or roughly 31 percent, got their undergraduate degree in Wilmington. One reason why Appalachian may be so attractive to students is the wide array of available concentrations, Lawrence said. "We have about 70 programs in about 26 departments," said Lawrence. Among the largest departments include Human Development and Psychological Counseling, Business Administration, Leadership and Higher Education, Psy­ chology and Curriculum and Instruction. Recently, several programs have been added to the school. Students can now work toward a master's degree in Geriantology, Applied Physics and Home Economics. While many students consider gradu­ ate school, some choose to wait until they have worked in their chosen field first. It is true that real-life experience can be advantageous, although there are draw­ backs in putting one's advanced studies on hold. Some men and women, for ex­ ample, begin climbing the corporate lad­ der and lack the time. Others may become nervous about returning to the classroom, according to Lawrence. "People become very fearful in their abilities—in their ability to take standard­ ized tests or in their ability to finance their studies," said Lawrence. "An advantage to waiting and working, though, is that you can learn more skills in the areas you're most interested in," she added. Once a student decides graduate school is the best post-undergraduate route for him, there are several steps which can aid in the selection of the school. First, it is important that the college is accredited. Reviewing faculty members credentials is also helpful. According to Lawrence, professors with doctorates from different universities can be beneficial. Another important factor to consider is the school's available financial aid. Ap­ palachian, for example, spends well over one million dollars for graduate assistantships, which is pretty good for a school its size, Lawrence said. mai°rityof riders f i C i s n e r o sspeechfocuseso nchangesinfutureforUnitedStates rValtWe" 85 k^ty and staff allowed to ride the io nae me .11 <L.

"I don't feel that a student can say that they didn't know about it (the fee forum). We started publicizing student fees after Sept. 24 when I first gave the senators the information," Murphy said. ASU increased as a reversing its policy on de- economic growth and the other which is filled with diverse people. The first America would be based upon service, technology and a strong work force. As aresultoftheadvances,Cisneros contends society will become more com­ plex. The second America focuses on the diversity of the United States' population, which has become and will continue to progress toward an increasingly older and more culturally mixed society. Due to medical advances, the United States' population is aging. Cisneros said the fastest growing age group is those 65 and over. Moreover, in the next century, 30 percent of the population will be re­ tired. Also, in the past 10 years, the Asian communitv has erown bv 108 percent and the Hispanic population has increased by 52 percent, creating a more diverse cul­ ture. Cisneros predicts immigration will continue to increase. Students should be encouraged to learn other languages and study other cultures due to changes in population and econom­ ics, Cisneros said. "Language is more than just a neutral instrument; language is full of value," said Cisneros. "It is like a window into another culture." A growing concern in the changing demographics of the United Stales popu­ lation is that in the future only 30 percent of the population will be white males. The remaining 70 percent will be women and minorities, Cisneros said. Since most experts in technological fiplHc u/Viifp molpp »V**c problems in America's future growth, Cisneros said. The U.S.needs more scien­ tists and Ph.D.s, which are fields tradi­ tionally dominated by white males, Cisneros said. However, since the white male popula­ tion is declining, it will be necessary to look into training other non-traditional workers for the fields, such as women and minorities. Making the two worlds work together will require investing in anew popul ation, Cisneros said. He noted that one of five children, one of three Latin American children and one in two black children live in poverty. "As I get around the country and I see places, what worries me is that I see al­ most two different Americas.I see a series nations. The biggest challenge is how to make these two worlds work together," Cisneros said. While the United States faces these problems, other nations such as Japan, Germany and united Asian nations may be able to becomethe leading world power by 2050, Cisneros speculated. However, if U.S. trends such as milita­ rism, not reinvesting into the country, no concern for children, debt, apathy and illiteracy continue, they will allcontribute to the decline of the United States to the extent that it will no longer be a world power by 2050, Cisneros said. "The greatest powers on earth have always fallen," Cisneros said, citing ex­ amples of the British empire, the Spanish empire, the Austrian/Hungary empireand m �v> § Dinner benefits WAMY and student group: Appalachian State University's Hospitality Management Student Association will host the High Country Holiday dinner Friday, Nov. 22 at 6 pm.

SGA bill allows increased campus acce$« By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer Appalachian State University students who are now travelling one to five miles out of their way to get to campus will have more convenient access following SGA's passage on Tuesday of Howell's bill. The bill, which was proposed by Offcampus Affairs Chairman, Kevin Howell involves the opening of the road between BodenJiiemer Drive and Poplar Grove Road near Mountaineer Apartments. Besides adding convenience, the new road will make it safer to drive during the winter, becauseBodenhiemer is less curvy than Poplar Grove, Howell said. The proposed 250 yard stretch of road to be opened was originally closed due to traffic congestion. Many senators now believe this will no longer be a problem. Possible traffic or pedestrian problems will be studied in the first few months after the opening of the road. If a problem arises, the road will be closed again. Howell said the opening will effect ap­ proximately 100 of the 420 residents of the Mountaineer Apartments and would be provided at no cost to residents. Jim Rice, director of civil/landscape engineering from the Physical Plant, dis­ cussed recycling and its advances on the campus during die meeting. Rice described the recycling program as being in the discovery stage. The first Watauga County recycling program be­ gan in 1984, and die first recycling task force developed in 1989. Rice said he was pleased that the Pepsi and Coca-Cola Companies gave recy­ cling bins to the campus this year. ASU now has a 9.4 percent recycling rate. The state of North Carolina recendy passed a law which asks that all communiues have at least a 25 percent recycling rate by the year 1993. Rice believes that at the rate the uni­ versity is moving, the school should be at a rate of 35 or 40 percent by that dead­ line. Rice said everything is now in place for improvements in recycling. The 1990s look much better than the 70s and the 80s did, for our recycling program is continu­ ally growing and improving. In three to five years, the technology will exist to allow recycling ofplastics and styrofoam. Presendy, styrofoam counts as one percent of theschool's recycling prob­ lem, with 9,400 pounds of it used per year. Vending machinesexpel approximately 500,000 aluminum canson campus, while another million cans come from other sources. Onecan, when recycled, can pro­ duce enough power to run a television for three and one-half hours, Rice said. The problem with aluminum cans is the cans have to be placed into the recycling bins before they can produce this power. Rice said. Thecans, he said, should come right from the bin, and not have to be dug out from a trash can. Bins are not located inside the resi­ dence halls since many people do not "This is a bad reflection of dents," said Doug Duncan, Stud! fairs Chair.

By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Percussion ensemble's haunted house concert Cloud of mystery surrounds School of Music as drummers secretly prepare to scare By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor Looking for something different on Halloween? Look into the ASU Percussion Ensemble's Hal­ loween concert. It promises to be anight of strange musical happenings in the setting of a haunted house. There will be much more than just things that go bump in the night. The whole evening promises to be an intriguing mystery. The membersof the percussion ensemble and their professor Dr. Scott Meister are reluctant to talk about what will happen. They want he audience to experience it all on the concert night. Concertgoers will meet in the Broyhill Music Center lobby. They will be taken to the concert location somewhere in the music building. Mys­ tery is the annual event's trademark. "No one attending knows where theconcert will be given," said Meister. "And we don't advertise the program in advance. The concert begins the minute the audience walks in." The audience should expect the unexpected, Meister said. Past performances have incorporated trees and leaves to recreate an outdoor experience, smoke machines, electronic equipment thatchanges a room's acoustics and visuals such as slides and film. "It's strange, is all I can say," said Meister. Ensemble members dressed in Halloween cos­ tumes will play compositions written especially for the concert. Many of the compositions were written by Meister. "The music is very 20th century. We will By WILLIAM PURCELL Appalachian Diversions Editor ^days are gone.

ANYTHING GOES WHEN YOU'RE ON THE TOP: William Gora, Erick Unsworth, Arthur Unsworth (seated) and Priscilla Peebles will perform "An Evening of Cole Porter" Nov. 5. The 8 p.m. concert in Broyhill Music Center's Rosen Concert Hall is part of the School of Music's Faculty Recital Series. The concert will feature vocal and instrumental compositions from 17 of Porter's musicals. The music of one of America's favorite compos­ ers will be performed Nov.5 when theASU School of Music presents "An Evening of Cole Porter." The concert will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the famous Broadway composer. The concert is part of the Music Faculty Recital Series. The series is a once-a-month concert which features the best music faculty at ASU. Known for his musical "Kiss Me Kate," Porter was a prolific composer. This 1946 musical fea­ tured such numbers as "I Hate Men," 'Tom, Dick or Harry" and 'Too Darn Hot." A movie based on the musical was released by MGM in 1953. Porter studied law and music at Yaleand Harvard following the failure of his first Broadway show "See America FirsL" In 1917 he moved to Paris and joined the French Foreign Legion. Following his discharge. Porter studied music with French composer d'lndy and began writing songs to entertain his social circle. Porter has created some of the most theatrically elegant, sophisticated and musically complex songs of American 20th century popular music. The concert is a departure from earlier chamber and classical music presentations."We will be in a concert setting, with tuxedos and evening gowns," said Dr. Arthur Unsworth, dean of the school of music. "We decided to do this concert because Porter wrote such fine music. It's well constructed, and the poetry is great," said Unsworth. The concert will show a different side of the performing faculty. "Our faculty will be perform­ ing in a more relaxed style that most people don't get a chance to see," said Unsworth. Selections from 19 of Porter's musicals will be performed including"It's De-lovely,""InThe Still of the Night," "I Get A Kick Out Of You," "What Is This Thing Called Love," "Night and Day" and "Begin the Beguine." Soloists are Joseph Amaya, Julia Pedigo and Priscilla Peebles. They will be joined by graduate students Wendy Jones and Roberta Ferguson. The singers will be accompanied by William Gora, saxophone; Elmer White, trumpet; Todd Wright, saxophone; Scott Meister, vibraphones; William Wilson, viola; Richard Dilling, percusSee CELEBRATE page 6 Famous People Players perform in Farthing Touring company features life-size puppetry in the unique form of black light theater By LORRIE G ANTT Appalachian Staff Writer The Famous People Players from the Black Light Theater Company have dazzled audiences from North America to the Far East with their unique synthesis of black light theater, life-size puppet artistry and unbounded skill. From Broad­ way to China's Great Wall, they've woven an enchanting tapestry of brilliant theater and sunlit imagination. The Performing Arts Major Series brings the Famous People Players to campus on Monday, Nov. 4. Founded in 1974 by artistic director Diane Lynn Dupuy, this group of talented artists has inspired audiences throughout Canada, the United States, Bermuda and The People's Republic of China. They performed a seven month engagement at Sea World in Orlando, Fla., where thousands of people viewed the wonders and magic of black light theater. The Famous People Players have been acclaimed internationally for their contribution to theater and the entertainment industry. The art of the Famous People Players incorpo­ rates the use of life-size puppets and fluorescent props manipulated under the illumination of ultra­ violet light. "Iridescent spectacle," said a writer for the New York Times, "the magic of the theatre, the magic of diversion, the magic that impels one to say 'that's entertainment.'" One of the most noteworthy aspects of the Fa­ mous People Players is their dedication to the integration of the developmentally handicapped. All but three of the performers in the company are handicapped. From the beginning, their intention has been to develop the capabilities of handicapped citizens. They also strive to prove that handicapped persons can lead satisfactory and productive lives given the right challenge and opportunity. Determination to overcome obstacles pushes one tosucceed.The company of the Famous People Players knows this concept very well. Their abil­ ity, creativity and powerful motivationhaveopened many doors for them. Highlights of the company's history include the airing of the TV movie "Special People" in 1984, which was based on the founding years of the Famous People Players, six weeks at the Lyceum Theatre on Broadway in New York City, three return engagements in Las Vegas with Liberace, a five-week engagement at Radio City Music Hall, representing Canada at the Bermuda Festival and a special invitation to tour The People's Republic of China. They have been the topic of several television documentaries and specials including their Emmywinning documentary, "A Little Like Magic" nar­ rated by Ann-Margaret. The company made ap­ pearances on "Donahue," "Good Morning, America" and "West 57th Street." Bring your imagination and the anticipation that something wonderful will happen. You may be right.

The Mountaineers have a 12-7 advan­ tage in the series which began in 1972. Appalachian has also won five of the past six and seven of the last nine meetings with the Bulldogs. The Mountaineers have compiled a 45 record on their visits to Charleston. ASU last journeyed to Johnson Hagood Memorial Stadium in 1989 and came up on the short end of a 23-13 decision. "We went to Charleston two years ago and they just flat whipped us, so we know how tough it is to play in that stadium."

Modest Terry leads Appalachian hooters with 13 goals I, WILL ROTHSCHILD distant Sports Editor When junior striker David Terry came j Appalachian State to play soccer for Vi Rex in 1989, expectations were high. After all, when Terry completed his pitying days at sports-rich Apollo High School in Owensboro, Ky, he owned ev­ er toccer scoring record. His 60 career rt;and 45 career assists in just three yorsofvarsity action led to first team allate recognition in his junior and senior Bons. In addition, Terry was selected to Mi-Midwest Region national team as 'senior and was nominated for the Parade Ill-American team. Such prep accolades are often hard to he up to, especially in the competitive world of Division I soccer. Terry, how­ ever, has not disappointed. Last year, in just his sophomore season and his first year as a MMi full-time starter, Terry led the Moun­ taineers in scoring with 15 goals. He was an AllSouthern Confer­ ence pick and was Most Valuable Player of the conference tournament. Already this season, Terry has rack­ ed up 13 scores for ASU and is well on his way to another all-star year. In five of ASU's six victo­ ries, Terry has ac­ counted for what turned out to be the game winning goal. Ho w ever, if you ask Terry % I I about his " remarkable success, he gives a somewhat unexpected response.

"I felt extra pressure then because I knew that was my job, and we weren't getting it done. When I moved from midfield to striker is when we started turning things around offensively. Plus, we just now started playing a regular line-up, and everbody knows they have a part, and they know they have a job to do. The defense now has faith in the offense that we'll gel them a couple of goals and take some of the pressure off of them." As a result, theTerry-led Mountaineers have jelled as a team as of late, winning four in a row and five of their last seven. Last Sunday in Kidd Brewer Stadium, Terry scored both goals as Appalachian See TERRY page 8 second place in league play Wachian Staff Writer nCe' explained. "He was our top player, and everyone knew about him. Teams would put their best marksmen on him, and I was able to surprise some people. "This year, I'm getting the toughest guy. The only difference is I have confi­ dence now, and I know I can score. Like I said, my dribbling skills are what I need to work on. I lack a lot of the dribbling skills that other players have. I have just been fortunate to score like I have." it At 6-9 this seasoa there is no question Appalachian would be in a heap of trouble without Terry, whether he will admit it or not. After Terry's 13 goals, the next high­ est individual total on the team is three. That lack of scoring balance is just one of the reasons that the Mountaineers struggled early in the season.

"We were sluggish early in the match, hesitated on defense and our setting was off in the fifth game. We finally started playing good, solid volleyball-reacting and responding to the offense and de­ fense, and that got us the victory," ASU Head Coach Traci McGee said. Junior Kim Nelson led the Lady Apps with 17 kills and a .238 hitting percentage to be named Player of the Game. Nelson was aided by junior Sandra Love who tallied nine kills, three service aces and a .238 hitting percentage. Sophomore Michelle Wright added 16 kills while se­ nior Sabrina Hill chipped in with 13. The Appalachian squad totaled 90digs throughout the match, an unusually high amount. UT-Chattanooga currently leads the conference with a 23 dig per game average. Junior Joanne Myers contrib­ uted 23 digs for the Lady Mountaineers and had five blocks. Sophomore Deanna Keen also had five blocks. v McGee was particularly impressed with the efforts of Nelson and Myers. "We moved Kim to the middle because we were having some problems, and she is not as physically qualified to play that position. But when Deanna Keen came back in during the fifth set we moved Kim back outside, and she ran a very quick attack and played exceptionally to build us back up to win the final set," McGee said. "Joanne put forth very consistent play in the end. She had seven perfect sets and got seven kills off of them, and it really made a difference for us," McGee added. After shifting victories over the first four sets, the Lady Apps fell behind UTC in the fifth set, 8-1, before an ASU timeout rearranged the strategies of the App State squad. "I tried to re-route their minds. We were hesitating too much and just not really trying," McGee said. The Lady Apps came back out on the floor to eventually tie up the set 10-10 behind dynamic plays by Nelson, Myers, Wright and Keen. ASU went on to win the game and the match, improving theirrecordto 15-12 and 7-2 in theconfer j ence. ASU traveled to Johnson City, Tenn.j Wed. night to face the first place Lady B uccaneers of EastTennessee State. (Lool^ for details in Tuesday's edition of Tht{ Appalachian.) The Lady Apps will travel to Annapo i lis, Md., to compete in the Navy Forrestall Classic Nov. 1-2 before returning home lo[ host UNC-Charlotte and North Carolina] State on Nov. 8 and 9 respectively. From the Bleachers ASU club football squad downs Seahawks, 47-28 Appalachian Staff Reports The Appalachian State club football team improved to 3-1 on the season with a 47-28 victory over the University of North Carolina at Wilmington on Oct. 20. Quarterback John McKee led the way for ASU, throwing a 60-yard touchdown pass to Quinten Watkins.Linebacker Trey McBride and cornerback Ray Tedder, who returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown, led the defense in the win over the Seahawks. The club football team will be back in action this Saturday night in Kidd Brewer Stadium. ASU will take on North Caro­ lina State at 7 pm. Appalachian will be looking to avenge an early-season loss to N.C. State. That setback was ASU's first club defeat in four years. Team Travels To New Orleans The ASU intramural co-rec flag foot­ ball championship team will participate in the National Flag Football Invita­ tion Tournament in New Orleans Dec. 26-Jan. 2. Bad Company, this year's ASU cham­ pions, had to raise the $235 entry fee and the $16 per player tournament fee. Bad Company beat Outlaws in the playoff last Monday night and will travel with the maximum 16 players. The winner of the tournament will play an exhibition game in the Louisiana Superdome before the nationally -televised Sugar Bowl. Other teams from North Carolina that will participate are from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and North Carolina State. ASU Intramural Official To Head To New Orleans Mike Blanton has been selected to be one of 54 officials at the National Rag Football Invitation Tournament this Dec. 26-Jan. 2. Blanton has been officiating flag football at ASU for three seasons. Blanton has been nominated to go to the tournament the last two seasons, and this year he received an automatic bid to go to the games. Blanton will be paid to offici­ ate at least 30 games while in New Or­ leans. Sports Officiating Course Offered Anyone wishing to become an intra­ mural sports official should sign up for a sports officiating course. PE 1502-101 is a three hour class that will enable students to become intramural sports officials next semester.

The win ended ASU's SC season at 3-1 and secured a second-place finish in the league. The Apps' only conference loss came to Furman in September when the Palalins nipped the Mountaineers 3-2 inover­ time. Furman wenton to finish the confer­ ence season undefeated and win the regu­ lar season championship for the second year in a row. Last season, Appalachian finished fourth in the conference before coming back to win the SC tourney, downing Furman in the process. According to Terry, the Mountaineers are anxious for another chance to spoil the Paladins' champion­ ship hopes. "I think right now everybody wants to play Furman again because they are a tanked team," Terry commented. "Plus, we played them so tight up here, and we really thought we could have and should have won that game." Booters Continued from page 7 STRICT!Y rftfJFIIIF.NTIAL . STD INFECTION CHECKS . BIRTH CON!

Students lost their right ucomplain about the possible increase Monday evening, as they failed to mend a fee forum sponsored by the Student Government Association. The n feels that numerous students are opposed to the fee hike, however, those students now have no room to comment. They were given jieirchance on Monday to address two ASU administrators and three SUA ipresentatives about the proposal. They failed to do so. Appalachian students apparently do not care about their future finances, as just two students attended Monday's forum—just TWO students. Appalachian's current enrollment resides at 11,367. Of those students, 7,439 Btilher freshmen, sophomores or juniors. A majority of these students will Bam to Appalachian next year and could be affected by a fee increase. However, of 7,439 students who should be concerned with future student fees,only two attended Monday's question-and-answer session. Appalachian students, you lost your right to complain. You told Appala:h,administration that you are apathetic when it comes to your financial fa. You told administration: "Bill students what you will; charge as much isyou would like next year; we do not care how much we will be asked to py." By not attending Monday's forum, you signed a blank check and placed it Jilhe hands of Appalachian administration. Make a notation in your checklooknow: "Oct. 28,1991—Gave Appalachian free reign over my account." Hienumber two—the number who attended the forum—does not take into iccount the Student Government representatives on hand. In addition to the taeSGA panelists, there were six. Those six senators asked the majority of ^questions. The remainder of the audience was limited to Dr. William A. Wck, Jr., director of health services, Robert K. Feid, assistant vice faellor for student development, Daryl Ghent, SQA president, Amanda fan, The Appalachian news editor, and one person filming the program for IppalNet. Appalachian students, Monday was your chance to voice concerns about ^proposed fee increase. You missed it. When your account is charged $140 > year, do not call the bank, nor Appalachian's administrative offices, t a:chance has come and gone. 1 THURSDAY, October 31, 1991 NOELLE WILCOX Ad Production Manager MITCHELL rfyod education is the essential foundation of a strong democracy —Barbara Bush in a preface to America's Country Schools by Andrew Gulliford (Preservation Press) I love to drive. When I was 15, my parents could make me do anything or keep me from doing anything by merely threatening to keep me from getting my license. I inherited my love of driving from my dad, who taught me how. Dad managed to get through the year I had my learner's permit without developing a heart condition. Now he is going through another year of "Okay, turn sharp...now cut back...cut BACK,""Put your signal on— you're going to turn here," and "If you want to stop you have to HIT THE BRAKE!!!!" with my younger sister, who also shares my love of driving. Dad's nerves should make it through this year, too, and my sister will have her day of glory just as I had mine in December 1987, three days after my 16th birthday, when I finally received that precious piece of plastic saying I could have complete control of the wheel of a car. My love of driving has not worn off even after having had the precious license for four years, probably because I don't have a car and never get a chance to drive except when I'm home, which considering that home is 250 miles away, isn't very often. When I need to go somewhere I either take the AppalCart or bum a ride. Bumming rides is something I've gotten very good at, especially with my boyfriend being in Charlotte and my family being in Wilson. If ASU offered a degree in mooching transporta­ tion off people, I would have graduated a long time ago. My credentials as a passenger far exceed any I have as a driver. But certain things about the whole automotive transportation process still have me asking questions. Interstates are a wonderful invention. I hope the genius who invented them receivedsome high honor. Because of interstates, onecan drive to and from cities hours apart and not have to worry about being slowed down by stoplights. Also, interstates have limited access—exits and entries are clearly marked, so one usually does not have to worry about being slammed by some poor unfortunate soul who is forced to enter the highway immediately after ascend­ ing a tiny out-of-the-way ramp. Of course there are still those people in cars with eight-cylinder engines who manage to fly down the entrance ramp going at least 65 miles per hour, who have no need for the acceleration lane and who manage to scare the living daylights out of the poor person whose path they cut in front of. However, at least the acceleration lane is there, both to let drivers already on the interstate know that someone is trying to get on it and to let the entering driver (assuming he or shedoes not have a V-8 engine)have time to pick up enough speed to enter the interstate safely. The 65-mile-per-hour speed limit, increased from 55 in 1987, was one of the better traffic laws that has been passed. Now those who previously went 65 are going 75. It is easier to calculate how soon you are going to reach your destination.Sixty miles per hour equals one mile per minute, so if your destination is 100 miles away, you can plan to get there within 100 minutes and not have to worry about getting a speeding ticket. I am most familiar with three interstates—1-40 and I85, which I take going home, and 1-77, which I take going to Charlotte. 1-77 has the prettiest view, especially the rolling hills in Iredell County. I can't decide between1-77 and 1-40 as to which is the cleanest. 1-85 on the stretch on which it merges with 1-40 never ceases to amaze me. It hasn't caught up with therest of the world in increasing the speed limit to 65 miles per hour, and the traffic, no matter what the time of day, always manages to be terrible. Speaking of traffic, I am in the process of conducting a highly informal, unscientific, personal study to determine which city has the worst traffic—Charlotte or Boone. Even with a population difference of 390,000 people (360,000 during university/leaf season), the rush hours of the two cities present a very similar picture. When leaving Boone for fall break at 3:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, my roommate,another friend and I found ourselves stopped at a green light on King Street. Why were we stopped at a green light? Because several blocks ahead of us, the light was red, and the line of traffic was backed up past the green light in from of us. It took us 30 minutes to go two miles and get out of Boone. Unfortunately there isn't much anyone can do about Boone traffic—mountains prohibit widening roads or building new ones, and it would be far more terrible to destroy a beauty of nature for an asphalt creation of man, than it is to put up with traffic backed up so far that stoplights are useless. There are a couple of things I do suggest. One is a protected turn signal on the stoplight at the intersection of King Street and Hardin Street. Another is installing a "rush-hour mode" into the Boone stoplights, such as in the stoplights of bigger cities such as Charlotte or Raleigh. Sometimes we run into a problem, not with the traffic in general, but with individuals causing traffic. We all have prototypes in our headsof the other-driver types who make our driving experience less pleasant. The irritating prototypes are probably different for each of us. A few driver-types who get on my nerves: one is the driver who insists on going 15 miles per hour below the speed limit, especially when thespeed limit is 35 and the road is a twolane road divided by double yellow lines. Another is the driver who does not use turn signals. Not only is this illegal, but it makes people wonder why you are putting on your brakes—of course, they find out after you disappear around a corner, if they don'trear-end you first. Of course people who turn their signals on at least five blocks in advance are also irritating.The driver behind one of these people wonders, when is he/she going to turn? Did the person put his/her turn signal on by mistake? Of course I don't claim to be the perfect driver. I don't stop behind the white lines at intersections; I still haven't figured out who has the right-of-way at a four-way stop: and the first time my boyfriend rode in a car with me driving (in Wilson, where all necessary intersections have protected turns and traffic rarely backs up), he said, "Tracy, if you're ever going to drive in Charlotte, you: reflexes are going to have to speed up and you're going to have to drive at least 10 miles pier hour faster." Actually, I am probably one of those drivers I get so irritated with. But I will probably never stop loving to drive. Editor's note: Tarleton is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. We must educate ourselves about alcohol By Dr. EDWARD H. HAMMOND Special to the Appalachian Alcohol abuse on college campuses has been discussed a great deal recently. Television networks, newspapers, magazines, social researchers, college ad­ ministrators, alumni associations—they have all engaged the issue. But until these various parties involve students in the discussion, until they in­ clude students in the solution process to the problem—they are doing little more than exchanging hot air. In my 25 years as an educator, I have found no lesson more basic than this one: Students mustultimately teachthemselves. We can give them the tools of learning, but they must teach and learn. During National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, an annual event held on more than 3,000 campuses nationwide, we challenge students and faculty to ap­ ply the foundation of all education (that is, self-education) to the subject of drink­ ing—moving beyond rhetoric to action. During this year's NCAAW, Oct. 1319, students acted on the subject of drink­ ing—teaching themselves that underage drinking is never acceptable, and for half of the post-secondary students over 21, teaching themselves the difference be­ tween alcohol abuseand responsibledrink­ ing. This goal will be pursued through a number of educational activities, patterned after the events and themes conducted by their peerssince theinception of NCAAW in 1984. Last year, for instance, students at the University of Richmond in Virginia learned how to P.A.R.T.Y. (Promote Al­ cohol Responsibility Through You)—at­ tending seminars, watching movies and participating in activities that demon­ strated the effects of alcohol abuse, in­ cluding drunk driving. bricks on which the different partic­ ipants inscribed their experiences with abuse. At Illinois State University in Bloomington, 111., students learned how to "Let the Good Times Roll Without Abuse," promoting this contemporary theme through campus newspapers, but­ tons, flyers, the ISU stadium message board and the marquees of local busi­ nesses. And at the University of Fairbanks in Alaska, students participated in 40 differ­ ent programs, including a "Family Feud" competition with questions on alcohol and drinking. These efforts were successful because innovative, creative strategies were coupled with the vigor and persistence of students helping students. And despite the diversity of both the events and the stu­ dents—three important messages were common to all of these efforts. At Texas Christian University in Fort First, these students taught themselves Worth, Texas, students, faculty and staff about respectfor the law—aboutnotdrink­ built "The Wall"—comprised of single ing before they are 21, and about never driving drunk, or riding with a drunk driver. Second was the message of personal responsibility. Students taught themselves that ultimately, only they are responsible for their decisions, good or bad—and that their successin school and life dependson the right decisions. Finally, students who participated in NCAAW taught themselves to respect their peers—to celebrate true friendship. They learned that friends promote responsible behavior: that friends do not let friends drink if they are underage, and that friends do not let friends drive drunk. As an educator, I am proud tosee today's college students take an active role in their education—particularly their education about alcohol. During this year's NCAAW, we expect to hear more success stories—stories that may Finally force those who endlessly debate the issue, to cease their conversa­ tion and join students in real actions to address a real problem. Health costs could increase I'M AH EMMWMEKTAUST, Excess costs would not benefit students To the Editor: % X. ///,. \\ x bV Tribui ln« Media Services Ten dollars for a bottle of aspirin, $150 for an X ray, don't these prices seem exorbitant? Appalachian students could begin paying these prices if the health center begins charging for medicine and lab services instead of raising the health fee. Charging for services will leave the Health Center embroiled in administration problems and the students penniless. Paperwork, employment of non­ medical workers and the intervening of health insurance companies are problems associated with charging for medical services. Health Services must keep a record of every medicine and lab service it sells. Health insurance companies require a myriad of authori­ zations, receipts and utilization reviews before claims can be paid. The loads of paperwork required to run the Health Center once it begins charging for services will lead to high administration costs. A bulk of the administration costs will be attributed to the employment of non-medical workers who will handle the mountains of paperwork. Appala­ chian students will have to pay for these non-medical employees. Thus, we will be paying for people who serve no direct medical purpose. But most of the money will not go to the non-medical workers but to the profit oriented health insurance companies. Some companies charge as much as 34 percent more in premiums than they pay in benefits. Higher costs for services will have to be charged in order to provide the health companies with the money they require for coverage. Why should students have to pay for the profiteering of the health companies? Like health insurance companies who raise premium prices to increase profits, our health service center will raise the price of medicine and lab services to expand its protit. The additional money won't have to be used for medical purposes but for any program the administration wants to fund. The Student Activity Center looks a lot more fundable when health service begins raking in the money. Currently, health services makes only enough money to coveT the cost of running the center. There is no reason to begin charging for medicine and services other than to make money for the school. Health Services and the student's pocketbooks should not be used to raise money for the university. Understandably, North Carolina's budget shortfall has the administration looking for ways to raise money. But the problems caused and the harm done to the students are far greater than the benefits associated with charging for medicine and lab services. The health fee increase is a much more sensible option. Of course the fee increase will not allow the university to make money. But is it ethically right to take advantage of a student's misfortune in order to improve the university's bottom line? Charging for medicine and lab services may make market sense, but it doesn't make moral sense. Neill Clark ASU Box 9593 �1 Appalachian News OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS A.P.P.S.

According to Lineback, the basics of geography should be taught in the early grades, so when students reach high school, they will have a geographic background they can associ­ ate with history. Lineback stated many students gradu­ ate from college without ever taking a course in geography."We are never going to see students in this country become internationally aware without some cur­ riculum that includes basic geography." Attempts are being made to improve the current situation. In 1987, North Caro­ lina joined the National Geographic Alli­ ance Program, constructed to enhance geography instruction in the United States. The Alliance is made up of school teach­ ers, curriculum coordinators, State De­ partment of Education employees and anyone who is interested in improving geography instruction.

Students going on the trip will establish residence on the campus of Franklin College, a fully accredited Ameri­ can college in Lugano, in the Italian sec­ tion of Switzerland. According to Long, the program is an interdisciplinary approach to art: why we make art, and how we live with it. It incorporates the study of art with the individual's response to it.

Trends indicate fewer smokers By KENNY KIDD Appalachian Staff Writer A few decades ago, if one compared the number of smokers to the number of nonsmokers in any given area of the United States, he would find the two figures rather close together. Today, however, trends indicate that more people are quitting smoking, while an even greater number of people are not even beginning the habit. Noticing the trends, many private com­ panies and states have introduced restric­ tions on smoking in such areas as public schools and on airplanes. Here at Appalachian State, conversely, no restrictions have as yet been made. The Faculty Senate resolution on smoking as stated in the student handbook says "In the interest of good health and good man­ ners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smoking in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places in which others engaged in their ordinary activities are likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." Appalachian Photo by CiMy Kran Students here on campus are split as to ! BECOMING EXTINCT? Due to recent trends in advertising and public opinion, more people are quilting smoking whether this resolution is really fair. Dan ewMpeople axe starting. At ASU, there is not a policy on smoking. i °rum speaker 0rmer Kblic. pV5 a and open to Cultural Affairs free lhe Ron Dubberly, director of food ser­ vices, said that all on-campus dining fa­ cilities have both smoking and nonsmok­ ing sections. Dubberly acknowledged it is difficult to keep smoke from floating over into nonsmoking sections. Food Services could not enforce a smok­ ing ban in any food facility as long as one had not been instituted by the Faculty Senate for the entire campus, Dubberly noted. On the national level, interest in smok­ ing has risen over the last few decades. As more information became avail­ able on the health hazards of smoking and dangers of second-hand smoke, the non­ smoking population began to push local and national legislators to pass restric­ tions on smoking in public places. States such as Florida and New Jersey have passed laws prohibiting smoking in all public areas including elevators, wait­ ing rooms, retail stores and on any form of public transportation, according to the 1989 Executive Summary Report from the Surgeon General. North Carolina, on the other hand, has no formal restrictions. to discuss cultural diversity Student found dead San Antonio mayor will speak at Farthing Auditorium on social issues k'tier § DlCict,.. an Antonio mayor Kes 0npS wil1 discuss "Global PerftWachi 'tUral diversity" Oct. 29 V^PmT 16 University. , -• * MtUIg /AUU11Uby theuniversity' s Major Scri« fe [St, and the Office of Cultural Masters, senior and asmoker, believes the resolution is fair and that smokers try to be courteous to nonsmokers. "If they were to pass and enforce a strong policy against smoking,!' Dan stated, "smokers would be upset and would show a lot less respect to nonsmokers." He said he respects others' rights as long as they are not radical. However, many nonsmokers thought dial smoking restrictions should be imple­ mented in those places where a haze of smoke is almost always present. "The most smoke-filled places," said Shaun Slattery, ASU sophomore, "are the Sweet Shop, Legends and any hallway between classes." He continued by saying that in a facility like Legends, however, "one just had to expect it." Most nonsmokers believe places like these weren't ventilated enough, and at times some were discouraged from going to them. Ellen Davis, also a sophomore, said, "I'm going to die if I do smoke, and because of second hand smoke, I'm going to die if I don't." She said she thought that no matter what the policy said, the smoke would always be somewhere. office at (704) 262-2850 for more infor­ mation.

You can leam while getting your hands dirty and your adrenal in rushing by volun­ teering for expeditions that combine ad­ venture and research. Ahandful of organi­ zations offer such travel opportunities. One of them is Earthwatch, a non-profit organization that makes it easy for every­ body—not just scientists—to understand the environment better through scientific field research. Founded in 1971, Earthwatch brings together scientists and paying volunteers. "With funding drying up from the gov­ ernment, scientists were looking for alter­ native means. It was thought we could get scientists' funding through volunteers who could not only donate money, but also work," said Kara Bettigole, Earthwatch publicist. Earthwatch's affiliate, The Center For Field Research, receives more than 400 proposals each year from scholars. The center, with its academic advisory board, is responsible for review and selection of projects. Once a proposal is accepted, it is presented in Earthwatch's bimonthly magazine distributed to more than 73,000 members worldwide.

Cisncros believes the future of America will be determined by the diversity of its culture, stemming from new immigration which will re-energize and reshape the American dream. Currently chairman of his own com­ pany, Cisneros Asset Management Com­ pany, Cisncros remains active in civic activities. Expedition costs range anywhere from S800 to more than S2.000. Many students arrange for credit by fulfilling a require­ ment, such as writing a research paper. Dan Truesdale, an Emerson College graduate student who also works at Earthwatch'sMassachusetts headquarters, worked out a unique arrangement. "I got to thinking: Wouldn't it be great if I could combine Earthwatch with my master's degree...go toWyoming andshoot this expedition for my master's video project?" said Truesdale, who decided on an expedition called "Yellowstone Coy­ otes." Because expeditions are relatively ex­ pensive, scholarships and discounts are available through an application proce­ dure. "Earthwatch can offer college students up to 30 percent off the price of an expedition...which still has openings. Stu­ dents who are going into teaching are encouraged as well to go through this process where they are eligible to receive grants, scholarships and fellowships. We had over 500 applications from professors and high school students for scholarships last year, and we placed over half of them," Truesdale said. In 1991 Earthwatch will sponsor 135 projects in disciplines ranging from rain forest conservation, art, archaeology and the sciences.

Her findings may help farmers induce better natural defenses in crops, hence reducing pesticide use. "It's a good organization for the right kind of people.

It does require a certain degree of sociability...like sitting around the campfire and talking about the day's discoveries," CooperDriver said. Lisa Van Atta, a University of Califor­ nia at Los Angeles graduate, studied dolphin's use of language during the sum­ mer. While learning about the creatures, she also established friendships that focus on a mutual concern for this intelligent mammal's survival. "It was a graduation present from my father.

She was afraid r integrity and possibly even her life, me was one of the two first black to be admitted to the Women's >e, which is now the University of Carolina at Greensboro. [956 the year Drane enrolled in the •n'sCollege, racism was very strong "erica. Although two years earlier preme Court had outlawed segregablacks were being shunned in the school systems. Only six months before Drane was to start college, she heard of the serious prob­ lems a black graduate student encoun­ tered while attending school in Alabama. Thestudent could not stay more than a few weeks becauseshe was threatened byother students andeventually expelled.Theonly reason given for the student's dismissal was that it was "in her best interest." Sadly, this was neither the first nor the last incident in which a black student had been prevented from attending college. There was also segregation in transporta­ tion, restaurants, theaters and other public accommodations. Drane described that era as a "volatile, hostile period in history for black people." The serious incidentsof racism worried Drane, leaving her to wonder if her own life would be endangered. However, she refused to be intimidated and soon found herself packing her bags and heading to Greensboro. She was determined to make a difference. "It was an exciting, dynamic and ener­ gizing period for young people," Drane said thinking back to her college years. "People learned that they could make a difference." Fortunately, no direct threats were made to Drane or the other black woman attend­ ing the Women's College. There were, however, more subtle incidences that re­ minded her of the racism occurring in the world. One particular incident occurred when Drane left the campus to have lunch and go shopping with two of her white friends. The girls entered a delicatessen, where they tried to ignore theclamoring going on behind the counter. Finally, the proprietor of the deli approached Drane and told her he could not serve her. Drane soon discovered that as long as she was on campus, the rules of segrega­ tion were not in effect. Yet once she she went out in society, she encountered prob­ lems of racism. Drane spent four years of her life hoping that she might help change that problem. When Drane goes back to visit UNCG now, much of what she sees makes her proud. However, she is also saddened be­ cause she believes that some black stu­ dents remain "isolated, ignored, unappreciated and uninvolved" in today's college environment. She commented that racism is not as blatant as it was many years ago but still exists in society. She hopes people will learn more cultural values by being in­ volved with different cultures and races. By sharing her own experiences, perhaps Drane will encourage more people to take risks that might help change attitudes. "Sometimes we think that there's noth­ ing we can do,"Drane said."But no matter how small, there is a role to be played and a difference to be made by each indi­ vidual."

The Recycling Bin Composting of autumn leaves helps to enrich environment By BETSY SPRINGER Appalachian Staff Writer At this time of year, bright leaves are falling rapidly to the ground, and the trees are becoming increasingly bare. If the leaves are left on the campus ground, they will hurt the underlying grass. What can be done with the leaves so they will help rather than harm the envi­ ronment? Jim Rice, head of the Physical Plant, is responsible for making sure the leaves are cleared away. He hires the employees to remove the leaves from the campus. Everyone has heard the loud leaf ma­ chines around campus. They are actually giant vacuum cleaners that suck up the leaves after Physical Plant workers have used leaf blowers to blow them into piles. Leaf collection is easiest. Rice said, on sunny days when the leaves are dry. After it rains, though, the wet leaves get matted together, and they are impossible to blow. This creates more work for the vacuum than is healthy for the machine. The leaves are then deposited into some unused property of the Physical Plant to become soil. Rice said another solution would have to be found within the next few autumn seasons. "We're looking at nHrfflBWnHrBTTTBETrijrtMMiiaMidB mi to,'rim itiaaJt tSXBffifflBli' W some composting options, but the nearest location is a 20 mile drive from here," he said. Occasionally, some of the leaves are used for filler soil in the Physical Plant's landscaping projects. The Physical Plant is responsible for the mown lawns and the flowers planted everywhere on campus. Physical Plant employees also maintain the clocks, roads, garbage and recycling collection and plumbing of ASU. The plant itself is located near the Slate Farm parking lot. It is helpful to the environment that the leaves arc becoming soil, rather than be­ ing bagged and thrown away. If the leaves arc sealed in a landfill, they are not given a chance to decompose—they become immortalized in paper and plastic. The way they are handled now. and the future plan for composting allow $ leav es to serve their natural end. �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 29. 1990 Professor honored ASU News Bureau Appalachian State University's Sus­ tainable Development Program will dedi­ cate its resource center in honor of the late Father Thomas Cowley on Nov. 4. The dedication begins at 4:30 p.m. in room 426 Sanford Hall. The public is invited. For more information call 262-2295. Cowley, a former associate dean and professor at Appalachian, believed world peace could be achieved through crosscultural understanding and international cooperation. In 1977 he founded the Ecumenical Project for International Cooperation, EPIC, a group interested in peace and disarmament, justice, human rights, de­ velopment and the environment. Cowley died in 1988 and left his personal library of hundreds of books and journals to EPIC. In 1990, EPIC do­ nated the collection to Appalachian's sustainable development program. Shortly before his death Cowley wrote, "If ever there is to be an approach to a solution (of the world's problems), one must begin enlightening the public, more particularly in the U.S. itself, about the myths and truths of the international con­ flict, of human rights and of the develop­ ment scene across the world." Sustainable development combines economic growth with environmental and cultural protection. Undergraduates can minor in sustainable development at Ap­ palachian. Graduate students can earn certificates in the program.

Virginia's recruiters will be from Danville, Lynchburg, Manassas, Roanoke, Spotsylvania and Winchester. The Education Career Fair is an excel­ lent time to leam about the teaching pro­ fession, as well as presenting students with the opportunity to talk with prospec­ tive employers. It is also a time for stu­ dents to have many school system repre­ sentatives in one room, at the same time.

Heading the list of returnees is senior center Shannon Thomas, who led the squad with 20.6 points per game and 12 re­ bounds a contest a year ago. Thomas missed nine games in the middle of last season due to a knee injury but came on strong at the end of the year. Thomas has been chosen the preseason SC player of the year by the league's head coaches. "We expect Shannon to finish her ca­ reer at Appalachian in grand style," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. "She has come back from knee problems to establish a force on our team that is inspi­ rational and dependable in terms of her play and leadership." Also back for the Lady Apps are Penny Roberson, Regina Ikard and Mitzi Yount, who were second-team all-league picks in the preseason. Roberson, a 5*7" sophomore, was the conference's Freshman of the Year last season. She averaged 11 points a contest for the Lady Mountaineers and started in 29 of 33 games as a frosh. "We are counting on Penny to pick up right where she left off last March, taking the shots we need and handling our fast break to make the big play," Robinson said, "She is stronger and has improved her shooting range." Ikard averaged 9.5 points and 6.3 re­ bounds a year ago, while Yount contrib­ uted 9.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists. Jeanne Coker, who saw action in all 33 games as a freshman last season, also returns for the Lady Mountaineers.

(East Tennessee now holds the best con­ ference record.) Even if the Lady Apps win both the Tennessee-Chattanooga and East Tennessee State games, they will still finish second in the conference. The Lady Apps played host to UTC last night. (Look for details in Thursday's edition of The Appalachian.) McGee com­ mented that the team is very motivated to come away with a victory. "There is a silent rivalry against us and UTC," said McGee. 'They run a very scrappy offense and defense which seems to always give them the upper hand. I feel like it moti­ vates the hitter because everyone is trying to get whatno one can touch." McGee was looking for a very offensive match against UTC that will help the Lady Apps when they face East Tennessee State.

Gym. By WILL ROTHSCHILD Assistant Sports Editor When Appalachian State looks back on this football season, arguably no single play will stand out as much as Steve Wilks' block of Andrew Burr's 33-yard field goal attempt in triple overtime. The block set the stage for Jay Millson's 33yard game winner that gave the Moun­ taineers a 26-23 victory over conference nemesis Furman. It also gave ASU and Wilks some long-overdue respect. Until that game, Appalachian had been often overlooked by South emConfere.-'-e and national observers. V>. ile the Apps were chalking up victory after victory within the league, the P al adins and Marshall received most of the atten­ tion. One player from Furman was even quoted as saying that the only team in the Southern Conference that worried him was Marshall, a team ASU defeated in its season opener. Likewise, Wilks had been sometimes overshadowed by his defensive mates, despite stellar play throughout the season. While Rico Mack, Gary Dandridge and Avery Hall grabbed mostof theheadlines, Wilks has provided consistency and sta­ bility from his comerback position. How­ ever, it took the block at Furman to get most people to take notice. There is a lot to take notice of. Besides starting for the number one pass defense in the Southern Conference, Wilks leads the team with 10 pass breakups and three blocked kicks. Wilks, a senior from Char­ lotte, is fifth on the team in tackles, aver­ aging 6.6 per game and has intercepted one pass on the season. "The defensive line deserves a lot of credit for the pass defense," Wilks said recently. 'The defen­ sive line gets a lot of pres­ sure on the quarterback and forces a lot of mis­ takes. We work together real well. Gary's (Dan­ dridge) presence over the middle forces a lot of teams to be careful down the field. We just work together great." Consequently, the Mountaineers have forced seven inter­ ceptions in their last four games and have held the opposition to a meager 135 yards passing per contest. Never was the pass defense more im­ portant than in the Furman win.

"With some teams, you would be wor­ ried about your players' mindset when they 're picked as the favorite," ASU Head Coach Linda Robinson said. "But I'm so impressed with the mentality and approach of this team. They work hard and stay so focused." In addition, Lady App senior forward Shannon Thomas was picked Southern Conference preseason player of the year by the league's head coaches.

Thomas also ranked third in blocked shots, fourth in field goal percent­ age, sixth in free throw percentage and seventh in steals. "Shannon's very deserving of that award," Robinson said. "In my opinion, she's the best player in our conference. She's such a complete player. That's what sets her apart from the rest." Teammates Penny Roberson, Regina Ikard and Mitzi Yount were all picked to thepreseason second team all-league team. Roberson was the conference freshman of the year last season, and made first-team all-toumament. * * * In a football note, despite the fact that ASU did not play a game Saturday, the Mountaineers managed to move one step closer to their first conference champion­ ship since 1987. The Thundering Herd of Marshall lost its second conference game of the season, 38-31 to UTC Saturday night. The loss means that ASU would have to lose its remaining two conference games, and The Citadel would have to win its last four to keep the Apps from claiming the conference crown. A win this Saturday at The Citadel would give Appalachian the championship outright. In addition, Appalachian State moved up to a tie for 10th in the Top 20 poll. Marshall fell to 19th on the loss. The Citadel is 2-1 in the SC and is the only team besides Appalachian with less than two losses within the league. The Bulldogs beat VMI 17-14 Saturday to keep their playoff and SC title hopes alive.

Smokers should be aware of this fact and be courteous to those that choose rttosmoke. If you smoke, be awareof thedangers you are posing to yourself, and also be aware of the dangers you are imposing on others. Do not impose ion habit on those that choose not to smoke. If you smoke, do so only in well-ventilated areas. In restaurants and onanpus dining facilities, avoid smoking if possible, or smoke only in the smoking sections. Walls do not separate smoking from nonsmoking sections, soifsmoking can be prevented in thosedining-facilities, refrain from lighting up. Hie Appalachian Faculty Senate passed a resolution concerning smoking on campus. It states, "In the interest of good health and good manners, smokers are reminded that they should be thoughtful about not smoking in enclosed and/or poorly ventilated places (all classrooms and meeting rooms, aiecorridors and lounges, etc.) in which others engaged in their ordinary sctivities are likely to be affected by the smoke of tobacco products." This resolution should be followed by all Appalachian students, faculty and iiaff. Do not smoke in classrooms and meeting rooms. Avoid smoking in tee areas that are not well-ventilated. Keep the health of others in mind when you smoke. Realize that your smoke does affect others besides yourself. If you must light a cigarette or other smokable tobacco product, try to find alocation where you will affect the leastnumberof people. If weatherpermits, lake the time to step outside of buildings. Take the extra step to be courteous loyour fellow students and faculty members. In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity we know our friends. —John Churton Collins To be upset over what you don't is to waste what have you do have. —Ken S. Keyes, Jr., Handbook to Higher Consciousness (Living Love) / By TRACY TARLETON Appalachian Commentary Editor After two grueling 12-hour-long days of listening to the conflicting testimonies of Judge Clarence Thomas, Pro­ fessor Anita Hill and their witnesses, the Senate voted to confirm President George Bush's nomination of Thomas to the Supreme Court. It was by far one of the hardest decisions the Senate has had to make—hard on everyone involved, and "hard" is a gross understatement. The Senate Judiciary Committee sat for 12 hours, two days in a row, and listened to two highly respectable people give testimonies that totally contradicted each other. Neither the committee nor the rest of the country will ever know which one of them told the truth, but Thomas's nomination has been confirmed, and America will never be able to forget the struggle he went through to get that confirmation. Assuming for a minute that Hill told the truth, we must remember she was forced to tell an entirely male audience in graphic detail the sexual insults she had received from her former boss 10 years ago. She was not only forced to give her testimony to the Judiciary Committee, but also to whoever-knows how many people were watching on national television. The hearings probably could set a new record for X-rated programming on network television. Hill was subject to so many obscene phone calls at home that she telephoned the police. Now let's assume Thomas told the truth. He nearly broke into tears several times at the prospect of losing his career over a congressional horseshow. He called the whole process a circus and a new way to lynch blacks. When asked if he'd like to withdraw his nomination, he responded, "I'd rather die." But then he said if his nomi­ nation was confirmed, it was not worth what he was having to go through to get the confirmation. He said he could not understand why the Judiciary Committee and his former employee were working so hard to destroy what had taken him 40 years to build. After Thomas's nominationin July, Democratic groups who opposed him began searching for evidence, any evidence, to use against Thomas and stop his confirma­ tion. The Democrats had a tough fight in front of them— Bush had nominated a conservative black who had risen from the depths of poverty to become a lawyer and then an Appeals Court judge. The Democrats could not find anything in his past to use against him—until August, when Nan Aron, head of the Alliance for Justice, a group opposing Thomas, received a phone call from a Yale law school classmate of Anita Hill's. The caller, whom Aron said she knew, suggested Thomas had sexually harassed Hill in the early '80s when they worked together in the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission. Hill was questioned, but it was not until after several questionings that she even mentioned harassment, then at first she said she "needed to think about" how to respond. Several days later she outlined her charges to an aide, at first demanding confidentiality and refusing to have an FBI investigation done. However, she soon asked that her allegations be presented to the Judiciary Committee. The Senate, at first split 7-7 on Thomas's confirmation, decided to hold hearings and listen to both Hill's and Thomas's testimonies. Both Thomas and Hill swore to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but then told conflicting stories about what happened in the Education Department and the EEOC in theearly '80s. Someone lied, and we will never know who. However, I found several flaws in Hill's testimony. For one, if she was telling the truth, why then did she follow him from the Department of Education to the EEOC ? She said the harassment had stopped for a period of time, then started again after beginning work at the EEOC. Maybe so, but it still seems unlikely that a woman would follow an abusive boss from one job to the next. Also, Hill continued her relationship with Thomas long after they had both quit the EEOC. Thomas said Hill called him several times during the'80s, and Thomas's secretary presented phone logs of these messages, 11 of them over a period of six years. Why would a victim of sexual harassment call her abuser, unless she didn't take his harassing very seriously? Then there were problems with small parts of her testimony. Hill said that one day when Thomas was drinking a Coke in his office, he made a comment along the lines of,"Who put a pubic hair in my Coke?" Accord­ ing to research done by Sen. Orrin Hatch, this story came straight out of the novel "The Exorcist." Another story Hill told about Thomas's discussions about a porn star named Long Dong Silver came from an EEOC court case from Kansas. Hill's accusations opened new questions on the subject of sexual harassment. Some things that were not previ­ ously considered sexual harassment are now being looked upon as such. This expansion of definition has been developing over the past several years.This can be good because women have been afraid to speak out about their experiences with harassment for fear of losing their jobs or their dignity. However, the new attitudes about what is and what isn't harassment can cause problems if carried too far. On one radio show, for example, the announcer asked a female caller what is considered sexual harass­ ment. The woman fumbled for a minute before she said, Well... um... asking for dates." "Does this mean that a man cannot ask a woman for a date?" the announcer asked. "Well, if he asks correctly," the woman said. Statements or gestures that can be considered harass­ ment should be loosely defined enough that all legitimate cases can be heard and accounted for. However, they should not be so loosely defined that every innocent man who has made a woman angry in some way could be subject to a faulty lawsuit. The ideaof expansion of sexual harassment laws across the nation was presented a few years ago—by Judge Clarence Thomas. The nation will never know who told the truth in the Oct. 11-12 hearings. We can only analyze the evidence and decide for ourselves. Editor's note: "Newsweek" contributed tothis article. Tarleton is a junior from Wilson. She is majoring in French education. America should give its people the truth By CSABA BARAD Appalachian Staff Writer Let us suppose an ideal that people will not tell lies in their everyday conversa­ tions. In other words, they giveeach other pure truth. What else could and should we expect a public speaker—who claims he acts in our interest—to give us, if not truth? Is leading people astray not the very root of their indifference toward political life?Towardpublic election?To ward some issues concerning, at times, their own in­ terest? The widely-experienced disinter­ est of the most critical vaults—the stu­ dents? Toward work, and ultimately, to­ ward each other? Just think it over, "How are you doing?, What's up?," etc., are a few innumerable ways to greet somebody! But these utter­ ances do not always mean what they liter­ ally used to. The application of stock and well-used forms of speech makes our un­ derstanding easier. But understanding should not be reduced to frequently used phrases, for they have already been shaded or, like coins, are losing their edges. Fur­ thermore, oversimplified structures, such as those of Gen. Thomas Kelly, should not have been embroidered with such a funny word, "palpable." In short, if you mean something, say it. Then your statement may get bad reception, roughly depending on the circumstances. Already the ancient Greek philosophers discovered the art of making proper con­ clusions. As long as you have a true state­ ment, you can come to a good conclusion. Consequently, if you happen to have wrong premises, you cannot come to a right con­ clusion. Or the other way round; out of good premises, it is impossible to draw a bad conclusion. So, a public speaker must make his or her points clear. In order to convince the audience one is supposed to make distinct differences between foul and fair. I am personally not totally ignorant about American-history, and whenever I expected my American classmates to mur­ mur, sigh, or give any other sign of their disagreement with Kelly's speech, they did! Only in this century the Americans sur­ vived several turning points of their his­ tory, which came to be turning points in history of the world as well: the two World Wars, the wars against Vietnam, Korea and Grenada. Nevertheless, we know that 40 AVlW! I DON'T WW to m a & se&u W& TO MOMAliJ Americans saved hundreds of thousands of people from Saddam Hussein's death squads and further thousands from injury; we are aware of that as well, that it was a fight between unequal powers and it could have had a much more bitter end. Fortu­ nately, the alleged losses were insignifi­ cant, in fact, they were losses—losses in life. A colonel, on the one side, counts with squads, artillery, missiles and tanks against life. On theother side, wives, mothers and children count in the loss of husbands, sons and fathers. A colonel may disregard the dark side of a war, but those at home have weak hearts, which are simply un­ able to bear the missing one who will never come back. A convocation hand-out, distributed at the entrance, gave Kelly's military career. This begs the question whether a prelimi­ nary activity of a lifetime of work can justify an action of a series of actions. A private issupposed to simply execute what he is told. But the boss has the opportunity to make choices on his own. The ways and means, as well as the aims, must be care­ fully chosen. We have only to take care of one life. No need to emphasize what it means to pursue dishonest goals. But it Student protests fees ASU unfairly takes money for SAC To the Editor: Ois:r'Outeo cy T'Oure Meaa Services must be obvious, that setting forth honor­ able goals, and approaching them in ille­ gal or dishonest ways is but Machiavellianism. And now even Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev has declared that he is totally fed up with "isms." America is standing in the center of historical crossroads. In 1956 people in Hungary cried for foreign help, but super­ powers were deeply absorbed in the Suez debate. In 1968 in Czechoslovakia no one endeavored, to my present knowledge, to further help behind theIron Curtain. Those who had some property to support democ­ racies were afraid to, and remained silent. Then America felt a significant need and chose to put an end to Hussein's empire. But, on the other sideof the coin, America let people get killed in the used-to-be Baltic states of Russia. Intervention to stop bloodshed and see­ ing people get massacred occurred within the last decade—a time-span which is too close to put beyond attention; yet, both events received different evaluation. Therefore, I maintain the idea that the contemporary history of East European countries will bear a word of explanation in forthcoming years, but America has something in store to rethink. Over two years ago, plans to build ASU's newest monument to brick (the Student Activity Center) began. Since that time students (and faculty) have protested, written letters and voted overwhelmingly against the SAC. However, students have been charged nearly $1 million in increased student fees. I do not understand how someone can force a consumer to buy something she/he does not want. Does this not sound illegal? If you are the ASU administration, it isn't. All they have to do to take money from students to fund an unnecessary and unwanted project is call it student fees (sounds better than stealing or extortion, huh?). This summer, the General Assembly decided to not fund the SAC this year (that's one wise decision from Raleigh). Therefore, Chancellor Thomas and his band of henchmen were forced to stop taking money from students to pay for their new toy. ASU cannot collect more from students than the state supplies. In other words, ASU and the General Assembly match funds, and one does not exceed the other. If state funding is ever restored, Appalachian State still must pass an environmental assessment for the project (which it has not in the past two attempts) and have a biological and archaeological inspection of the site completed. Both of these requirements may be years in completion. Mean­ while, money for this project, taken from trusting and unsuspecting students, sits, unusable for anything else. Over S100 of each student's money in the past two years is frozen! See LETT ERS page 8 H II �The Appalachian. Tuesday. October 29. 1990 Letters Continued from page 7 I suggest that the administration of Appalachian State finally end this exploitation of the students and return our money. When other agencies and businesses overcharge clients for services, the courts and the state force them to return the difference. In the past, this has happened to power companies, cable television companies and others. Why does our administra­ tion think it is above these businesses and even the law? Students are buying a service from the university, and it is time the administration treats us as paying customers. Derek L. Harwell ASU Box 06774 Performers banned from playing in Boone To the Editor: The recent and controversial issue of slam dancing at ASU-sponsored events has been interesting to follow. Damien (Keyes) (and many other fans) feel they should be allowed to slam. I do not take issue with that. Matthew (McNaney) (and others, including administration representatives and probably some fans) strongly disagree. I don't take issue with those people either. However, since this controversy began (in fact, ever since the Psycho-Acoustics R&D show that kicked it off) we (P.A.R.D.) have been effectively banned from playing at all. I understand why Phil (Arnold) won't play us in the pub; namely that we draw too large a crowd: the last show broke all-time Pub sales records. He then suggested we play Legends. Sounds great to me, but that does not appear to be a possibility because the aforementioned controversy. This is purely unfair to us as a band. Johnny (anyone can do this) Quest is still being booked on campus. So are the Sex Police, whose Pub sales record we broke. McNaney said that J. Quest would not have been booked if there had been a lawsuit concerning an unfortunate incident at a previous show of theirs. Is there a lawsuit concerning the most recent Psycho-Acoustics show that I'm unaware of? I suspect NOT! We have worked hard to earn the following we have in Boone.
